Soul Break

Consume Claw

When Velvet has at least 3 Souls in her Soul Gauge (SG), press and hold R2 to activate her Soul Break “Consume Claw.” Once activated, it consumes 1 Soul and Velvet will shift to her “Consume Claw” state. In addition, her HP decreases gradually while the state is active, and HP decrease worsens the longer the state is activated.

However during the “Consume Claw” state, Velvet can recover HP lost by attacking enemies using a combination of Base and Arcane Artes. By using Soul Break multiple times, she can prolong the “Consume Claw” state by keeping the Combo chain going.

During this state, the corresponding Arcane Artes sets in when HP is at 1 or when total cooperation and additional attacks are met. As a matter of fact, Velvet gains Stat buffs during the “Consume Claw” state but the effects of each vary according to the race of the target enemy during combat.

The table summarizes the Stats effect during the “Consume Claw” state

Enemy Race Effect
Beast The higher the attack power of the opponent the greater the damage dealt
Crustacean Decreases the probability of defending by 1/4
Amorphous The higher the Arte defense of the opponent the greater the damage dealt
Apodous Decreases Arte SG consumption by 30%
Winged The higher the focus of the opponent the greater the damage dealt
Therian Increases movement speed by 50%
SG recovery increases by x2 while moving
Armored The higher the defense ability of the opponent the greater the damage dealt
Undead Probability to state abnormality increases
Fiend The higher the arte attack of the opponent the greater the damage dealt
Dragon Decreases attack frequency from the enemy when damage was taken
Human Suppresses HP reduction
Unknown Halves the damage taken

Heaven’s Claw: Learned at Lv 23

To activate Heaven’s Claw, press R2 after one-Arte chain while Velvet’s “Consume Claw” state is set. This consumes 1 Soul. Bear in mind that in order to trigger this Soul Break, not only does it require at least 1-arte chain, but it also requires timing. This is recommended against enemies with that resist Velvet’s attacks.

Although this Soul Break allows Velvet to absorb HP, “Consume Claw” has no recovery.

Hell’s Claw: Learned at Lv 33

At the cost of 1 Soul, Velvet can perform the Hell’s Claw. To perform, press R2 during the “Consume Claw” state after an Artechain. This Soul Break is helpful when Velvet performs it at a distance and while she is surrounded by several enemies. However, contrary to Heaven’s Claw, this is executable only after a 2-Arte Chain.

Nightmare Claw: Learned at Lv 62

While “Consume Claw” is still active and at least 20 seconds have already passed, Velvet can perform Nightmare Claw after finishing at least a 3-Arte Chain. This also requires at least 1 Soul.

In addition to prolonging an Arte Chain, it is required to activate the Mystic Arte “Impulse Desire.” This Soul Break unleashes tremendous amounts of damage.
