Spear Break

Spear Break is one of 's physical s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is a staff poke that deals some knockback and inflicts Slow, and acts as a combo into Starlight Kick.

Overview
In the same way that physical characters have a token ether attack, Spear Break is Melia's token physical attack. She doesn't want to be standing close enough to be able to use it, and her low strength and agility are not condusive to impressive damage. Slow is a good debuff that not many other party members have, but it usually does not justify using it purposefully, and for some reason it's tied with Drive Boost as the most expensive art to upgrade in the whole game. The move is mainly for early-game Melia to try and get away from enemies. It's a legitimate threat in combination with Starlight Kick, but this depends on the player's willingness to spend two art slots on what is essentially one move.
