Kisara Arte farm, any tips?

[Jack the Roamer]

While the rest of my crew are capping their Artes and learning new ones occasionally, even aerial artes, Kisara just slowly moves around like a sloth, MAYBE throwing out an occasional auto attack. In a few hours time I was not able to get her to use a SINGLE arte, what gives?

Has anyone found a method to force her to start actually doing something on Automatic, at least somewhat consistently?

You can setup what artes characters use. But Is way faster to manually use character.
Active the "damage 1" artifact. You can setup all characters to manual (or make them dont move at all). Spam the arte over and over. Flee when done or bored.

i'm currently using the damage 1 artifact with the game on auto and lettign everyone farming artes mastery on the background while i do other things

That's what I'm doing, with the artifact, but she's just walking around with her shield on guard and literally auto attacking once in a while. Unless her AI improves looks like I'll have to give up on her. Funny enough, she DOES use her mystic arte. I just don't get it lol

she does use some artes on ym end, it's mostly the aerial ones tho..maybe try against one big chunky mob that does not move around a lot?

switch strategy to fight aggressively and she will stop to guard and keep attacking with the artesyou put on auto . for aerial arte you need to use that allow her to jump

I haven't thought about enemy types! I'll give it a try, thanks! As for the settings, they're pretty useless since it's just a gambit system, there's no underlying code that actually makes them more aggressive.

If you want her power or w/e ones or to learn specific ones unequip all shield type so she only uses power for that skill tree unlock. Or, if you want her to also learn shield ones via usage unequip any slower shield skills and only leave the ones you've confirmed via testing to be fast to use.

[Jack the Roamer]

I didn't realize that would make a difference, thanks!

Edit: I thought you meant the actual shield lol. Yes I know, that would be the obvious solution, but then ALL she does is auto attack. Hopefully she'll proc an aerial attack (I'm hoping hurricane kick) since that seems to be something she will spam non-stop.

What I mean is disable "shield" type artes. If you look at the top right of a arte skill description you will see its attack type. Also on the primary in-game menu there is a button to bring up everyone's stats and see their arte type proficiency (for instance Alphen has mid-air, flaming, sword or something along those lines as I'm not looking at it atm). Kisara has Shield, Power, and one other which I forget the name. If your goal is to learn the skill tree that requires like 600 points in power go into her artes and disable the ones listed as shield type and leave the power type on. Thus she wont be using "normal attacks" but artes that are "power" type.

Alternatively, if you want to learn more artes on her in general disable the shield type that are slow or overly immobilize her activity and keep the faster ones on as well as power since proficiency of a specific arte is linked to improving that arte's performance but proficiency in an arte "type" is what allows them to learn new artes (aka shield and power are each arte "types").

Hopefully this helps.

That's what I did, disable her shield arts and leave the power strike on, I had to manually use meteor strike because all she did was auto-attack. Anyways she learned Hurricane Slice and now spams it non-stop. I guess the AI just really hates Meteor Strike. She's now clocked in over 2000 Hurricane Slice since she learned it. Just bizarre, anyways thanks for the advice!

Apparently she loves attacking charging enemies, in particular the level 20 Boars near your farm. Still doesn't want to meteor strike (cuz i really want to cap this lol), but it looks like she started running up to boars now. She does not display the same behavior with other charging enemies. Looks like boars are pretty simple for the AI to grasp, they don't dodge, they're not fast and don't stun lock you very much.

[Xengre]

Odd, sounds like your Kisara was acting weird. I just let the AI spam her power strikes but I had more than just Meteor Strike learned on her so that might explain it if her AI is adverse to it like you said. Is Meteor Strike the one that does the fast dash animation? I know that even the player can spam all of her AG interrupting prior casts causing it to just dash around smaller mobs and thus not attack until the final cast empties remaining AG so it has no choice but to complete. If that is the same ability then, indeed, the AI might have issues using it properly.

No problem. Makes sense that boars work well since fliers tend to get tossed away more easily and fast enemies are a struggle for the AI for this type of farm, while golems jump/charge and knock people around in a larger area than boars. Good choice it sounds like.

[Jack the Roamer]

Yeah something weird is going on with her engagement distance. I see her running up to attack, then do a 180 turn, only to turn around and auto attack, then proceed to do another 180 turn, and so on. Seems like some conflicting rules going on with her under the hood. A shame really, since she's fun to play with when you finally start unlocking Artes, only for her to be confused with tougher enemies.

i noticed something that seems to help
she seems to act dumb if she's targetting a monster that is already getting coboed, but she start to be really aggressive if you switch her to an other target so like,, if you are farming against lieke 3 wolves, just have her target one's that is not being attacked by alphen
