Tips and Tricks

This page is dedicated to useful game information.

Luke
Luke is the easiest character of all three: he has high damage and a very useful skill set. His Air Dash is perhaps the most useful of all the Action Skills.

A standard combo on him: Attack > Attack > (UP + Attack) > Jump > Attack > (Down + Attack). This combo hits 5 times, and is a good combo to start a fight.

A short combo designed to finish off low-heath enemies: Back Step > (Down + Attack). Because the Back Step causes Luke to become airborne, this quick area damage will kill off any opponent that survives his main combo.

A standard skill combo useful for bosses (and a favorite of mine): Icicle Edge > Slash Rush > Rapid Slash. This combo does 750% damage if used correctly.

Ellisa
Ellisa is not as strong as Luke in terms of pure power, but has more utility skills to make up for it.

Her (Down + Attack) is very weak, has a small hitbox, and causes minor lag if she lands it. However, it can be used to hit enemies on a ledge below her over and over if positioned correctly.

A standard combo on her: Attack > Attack > (UP + Attack) > Jump > Attack x2 > (Down + Attack). This combo hits 6 times, good enough for most enemies.

A standard airborne combo on her: (Jump + Direction) > Attack x2 > (Down + Attack). This combo is useful if there is distance between you and several enemies above you.

A standard wave-clear combo on her: (Running) Attack > Knee Kick > Sword Gust > Lightning Bolt. This combo is nice because the Sword Gust launches all enemies slightly in front of the character, setting up a perfect Lightning Bolt.

One will find out that in a hack-and-slash game such as Arcane Soul, her ranged abilities are extraordinary. Spamming the two in quick succession will melt the toughest of bosses with ease.

Lith
Lith is capable of the highest damage output if played correctly, since her basic attacks hit twice.

Lith has the highly spammable archery skill, which can be used if you're low on health.

Her inability to run is a rather detrimental aspect to her playstyle, but can be easily made up for by her high-speed dashing.

Because Lith has her own set of 3 skills, she is very hard to adjust to after the other two characters. Her unique action skill kit is extremely different as well.
