How to use mystic artes?

[Ei]

I should have yuri's special skill. I just don't know how to use it at all and I need it for secret mission 23.

Yea im not getting this, I use something like dragon swarm, get him to use the burst art and perform divine wolf but then no mystic art, I can just get him to do a burst art.

The character needs be in Overlimit level 3, then you use a burst/arcane/altered arte and hold the "normal attack" button.

Yea I am in overlimit 3 and know the special skill, so what I need to do is overlimit 3, hit him with a dragon swarm as an example, then do my burst arte. After the burst arte resolves does it just go into a mystic arte( also sorry guys if im getting this wrong or not understanding, idk why im not understanding how to do this properly).

Yes, when your burst Arte is in effect, just keep holding the "normal attack" button and the MA will trigger

question, do you have special equipped?

not sure how to equip it. thought it was automatic.

Skills are in effect if you have the weapon that gives them equipped or if the skill is equipped on the Skills menu, making their name display in green.

The Special skill needs to be equipped - not just learned - in order for mystic artes to be usable. It is no different from any other skill in that regard.

To emphasise earlier posts, when Yuri (in this case) is performing the arcane, altered or burst arte, you must keep the regular attack button held down until it happens. With the default Xbox-style controller mapping this is B. It's exactly the same as the way to perform a burst arte (where you must keep the arte button (A) held down). The mystic arte will activate as soon as the advanced/altered/burst arte ends, unless you have let go of the button by the time it would activate.

Alright thank you. I feel like a complete idiot. I did not even know that was how skills worked in this game so that whole menu was new to me. I tried it out again and on the second try I was able to do my mystic arte. Thank you so much.

Happens to everyone from time to time. Since you learned from it, the question can't have been a silly one.

I’m having one issue, & that’s triggering the second mystic Arte, do I specifically need to be in a NG+ file, or does the file simply need to be cleared to access them?

The guides I look through suggest I should be able to use Estelle’s mystic Arte as soon as I progressed far enough into the story

Different characters have very different and specific requirements. For Estelle, you need to at least proceed far enough into the story where you've already obtained all the four summons spirits. Next, you will also need to have used all the versions of her Burst Arte at least 20 times each (with the usage of elements change with the weapon skills).

So suffice to say, I shouldn’t need to be in a new game+ then? Cause if not, I’m effing up the combination required to activate it, & it’s definitely getting irritating not knowing what’s wrong here

Edit: & for reference, I’m using the switch edition of the game if that makes any difference

Depending on who you're playing as can change what requirements need to be met in battle before you can use the second MA
For example for flynn, you have to use hellfire or fierce hellefire as the arte before you hold attack and arte attack
For estelle, you need to use all burst artes 20 times first (excluding the cat teaser one), have all the spirits, then during any arcane, altered, or burst arte hold attack and arte attack during the move.
It's also important to be in over limit 4 to use any second mystic arte.
