Do Arte Passives stack?

[Yhwach]

Ones like Alertness, Coupe de Grace, Smack Down, etc

For example, if you stacked more than one together?

Passives that are unlockable on your SP trees definitely stack. Skill passives like "Alertness" and "Coupe de Grace" I doubt those would stack but it would be great if someone actually tested this to provide a sure fire answer.

I'm sure it would be possible to transfer multiple Coup de Grace skills on a single accessory but I doubt it would be worth losing the benefits of some of the other more power skills. Because you know, even if they do stack they'll likely have diminishing returns.

20% to attack for each enemy on the field sounds quite nice, at least if it stacks.

[Elrodeus]

I think you're misunderstanding how that skill works. Coup de Grace only affects the very last skill you spend your AG on. Meaning you would only get that additional damage as you're literally doing your last action. The rest of your combo would not be affected.

The reason that I say I doubt it would be worth it is only because I'm looking at it from the side of playing Alphen, where I much prefer to pick up skills that increase my AG or have the ability to lower my AG cost.

I'd imagine if any characters would benefit greatly from Coup de Grace it would probably be spellcasters like Shione/Rinwell/Dohalim as Coup de Grace would apply to any large spell that drained the last of their AG.

They more than likely do stack, it's just a matter of whether the stacks are additive or multiplicative.

Glutton for Battle

If you mean stacking Glutton for Battle with Coup de Grace that will surely work. I guess it's just preference more than anything else. Both those skills are very situational. With Coup De Grace you're essentially maxing out damage as you're running out of AG and with Glutton for Battle you're losing damage the longer the fight goes on (since you only get the damage boost based on the number of enemies on the field).

They will certainly stack it's just a matter of what PhantomMaster said, whether it's multiplicative or additive. I actually misunderstood you as I assumed you were planning on building an accessory with like 4 x Coup De Grace or something like that.

Obviously he was talking about stacking 4 x glutton for battle. But i would love to know the answer to this as well. Apparently you can stack the bonus counter attack damage one. That's what i read in another thread anyway.

That's good to know, it's another build I wanted to try ;)

I want to assume all the percentage and simple addition effects sack but I wasn't sure about the named ones.
