Tales Of Arise: All Owl Locations

There are 38 Owls scattered around Tales of Arise's gorgeous, dense world. Here are all of their locations and rewards for finding them!

In addition to Arte Sets, having the best available weapons and Accessories go a long way to making each character shine in any situation. However, with Arte Sets, it's essential to know each character's main combat goal and what they should be focusing on to help the team succeed in battle.

Updated March 21, 2024, by Seth Parmer: We have once again revisited this guide to provide you with the best overview of everyone's best Arte Sets in Tales of Arise. And surprisingly, even with the latest Beyond the Dawn Expansion, not much has changed in terms of the game's overall meta. However, we did take this opportunity to clean the tables up, along with the general formatting of the guide, to make things easier to navigate!

Alphen

Alphen is a DPS character through and through, offering relentless Artes and attacks that will keep pressure on the enemy while dealing tons of damage. Another trait of Alphen is his ability to air-juggle enemies through wild attack chains and combos that are equally as deadly as they are flashy.

Due to Alphen's ability to keep enemies off the ground and massive damage output, his Arte Set will primarily focus on quick attacks, rising attacks, and Artes that allow him to dive to the ground quickly to keep his combos going strong.

Shionne

Shionne is a force to be reckoned with due to her incredible offensive presence. However, unlike Alphen, Shionne has to balance her skillset between being a Support and DPS character, which sounds like it would be challenging, but she does it effortlessly. Shionne's unique class in Tales of Arise gives her access to creative builds with strong potential.

Shionne's Arte Set will focus on doing damage from a safe distance while also healing allies whenever they get into trouble. Shionne has many options available, making her a viable choice for just about any situation presented throughout Tales of Arise.

Rinwell

Rinwell is a Dahnan Mage that quite possibly has the highest damage output in Tales of Arise. While she does possess some Support Artes, Rinwell's primary focus is on dealing as much damage as possible, all while maintaining a safe distance far away from the encounter itself. Rinwell arguably has the best Artes in Tales of Arise due to the sheer damage she can output.

Due to her slow cast times, Rinwell can store one charged Arte, allowing her to unleash it after casting another Arte, essentially summoning two attacks simultaneously. That unique mechanic of Rinwell's is how you will build her Arte Sets, which should focus on casting the long, deadly Artes, storing them, and unleashing it with another Arte. Additionally, having an Accessory that reduces her casting times will prove beneficial too.

Law kicking a Zeugle in the face in Tales of Arise

Law is a close-quarter brawler that loves to get in his opponent's face and unleash devastating combos. Law not only thrives in close-range engagements, but he benefits significantly from it as he gains many buffs when he executes a Perfect Dodge.

Law's unique playstyle of pure aggression goes hand-in-hand with his Arte Sets, which should feed into his insane fighting style.

Kisara

Kisara may not be able to dish out the most damage in Tales of Arise, but she can sure withstand the most. Kisara's tanky nature and heavy, methodical attacks are what sets her apart from the rest of the characters in the game. The tank role is one of the most valuable roles in any JRPG, and Kisara executes her job flawlessly.

Building Kisara's Arte Sets will primarily focus on her ability to tank tons of damage and bide time for her team. However, that's not to say she can't do any damage, just that she won't be pulling out insane combos or shredding enemies to pieces like others.
