*** INTRODUCTION ***
Zero no Kiseki Evolution is the 2012 PS Vita version of the 2010 PSP game,
Eiyuu Densetsu: Zero no Kiseki. Elements of this game will be familiar to
those who have played Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.
This guide deals with orbal arts. Characters can perform orbal arts based on
the arrangement of quartz in their orbal slots. Slots are connected by one or
more lines. To get the art, the elemental value (EV) required by the art
must be present in a single line.
For example, the quartz HP3 has an EV of Water 5. Equipping it will grant
Icicle Edge, Tear, and Teara, because those arts require an EV of less than
Water 5. If you added the Evade3 quartz to the same line as HP3, that line
will now have an elemental value of Water 5 and Wind 5. So in addition to the
arts listed above, you will also obtain Aqua Mirage, Breath, Holy Breath, and
Recuria. And so on.
The arts listed below are divided into three: attack arts, healing arts, and
buff/debuff arts. The (S), (M), and (L) refer to the ranges of the arts --
small, medium, or large. Arts labeled (all) affect the entire area.
For reference, players can access the full list of arts from the Investigation
Notebook. That's in the Items menu, under the Books tab.
I translated the names from katakana so some likely won't match the eventual
English version. On the plus side, it's closer to the source material!
Without further ado:
