Tales of Arise is a popular action RPG with lots of content and different gameplay mechanics for players to sink their teeth into. Across the six playable characters, there are hundreds of skills available for each based on the skill panel that the player chooses. Skill Panels are unlocked by performing various tasks in the game.
Kisara is a strong melee character that fights with a mace and heavy shield. As with all the playable characters, players will want to choose the best Skill Panel available for Kisara to get the most out of the character. Early skills in Tales of Arise definitely matter, and Kisara can be juiced with the right Skill Panel set up. Here’s how her skill panels stack up against each other.
7 Migalpedia: Balancing Kisara With Attack
Players that want to balance Kisara out and have her as a bit more of an all-rounder should choose the Migalpedia Skill Panel. It balances Kisara out by offering a +20 Attack completion bonus.
It’s easy to make mistakes as a tank inTales of Arise; so choosing a Skill Panel that gives Kisara an all-rounded feel can help avoid those. Skills include:
6 Indomitable Golden Lion: For Those Focused On Sustainability
Indomitable Golden Lion is useful for those using Kisara who want to add to her sustainability. Unlocked by clearing the Advanced Solo Training Grounds with Kisara, it grants +50 on Resistance.
From World of Warcraft tanks to those in Tales of Arise, sustainability is a tank’s bread and butter, so this panel comes in handy for Kisara. Useful skills in the Indomitable Golden Lion Skill Panel include:
5 Chief Chef: Cooking In Combat
The Chief Chef Skill Panel offers Kisara +40 Penetration, and is unlocked by cooking 5 fish with Kisara. Penetration in Tales of Arise can be used to stagger enemies. While the enemies are staggered, Kisara can start to build up melee combos to capitalize, devastating opponents’ HP.
The staggering mechanic is one of the best things about Tales of Arise, and Kisara’s melee combat builds off it well. This Skill Panel can be unlocked very easily, and its best features include:
4 All-Pulverizing Hammer: All-Out Offensive
The All-Pulverizing Hammer shifts Kisara from focusing on her traditional defensive, tank-y way of fighting into an all-out brawling machine that can take the lead against enemies right from the off. It’s unlocked when the player upgrades Kisara’s Power Strike Proficiency to 600, and grants a completion bonus of Attack +50.
This panel offers Kisara some of the best offensive capabilities of all the Tales of Arise party members. Its best offerings include:
3 Catch And Fillet: Adding Sustainability
Catch and Fillet is a useful Skill Panel that players can unlock by cooking Sashimi with Kisara. It grants a completion bonus of Resistance +30, which is very useful for Kisara’s sustainability.
Resistance makes it less likely for Kisara to be interrupted during attacks, allowing her to keep hitting combos on opponents and get the upper hand quickly. This way of ambushing characters and getting the drop of them can be a very useful way for beginners to attack. Its best skills include:
2 Stupidly Strong Fisherman: For Elemental Attackers
Players that like using Elemental Attacks will find the most fun with the Stupidly Strong Fisherman Skill Panel. This Skill Panel grants +40 Elemental Attack as a completion bonus and can be unlocked by catching a Silver Marlin with any Tales of Arise character.
The best skills that Stupidly Strong Fisherman offers are:
These skills complement Kisara’s kit, and with the Skill Panel being so accessible, players would be foolish not to go after it if they enjoy using Elemental Attacks. It’s much more accessible than some other Skill Panels that require completing hidden Tales of Arise side quests.
1 Heartfelt Shield: Beefing Up Kisara’s Tanky Nature
Kisara is naturally a tanky melee character, so gamers may want to play to her strengths with Heartfelt Shield, a Skill Panel that complements that trait. It is unlocked as the player progresses through the main story.
Heartfelt Shield offers +50 Defense as a completion bonus and has Skills that offer bonuses to Elemental Attacks, as well as increasing Boost Gauge and Over Limit. Considering a Skill Panel that complements a character’s base stats is helpful in Tales of Arise, and Heartfelt Shield emphasizes Kisara’s talents. Its best skills include:
