Digimon Story: Time Stranger Cross Arts Guide - All Cross Arts, How to Unlock

In Digimon Story: Time Stranger, Cross Arts are powerful, special, and signature abilities your agent can use in battle. Knowing when and how to unlock them gives you a big edge in tough fights against powerful enemies and their Digimons. In this Digimon Story: Time Stranger Cross Arts Guide, we will learn about each Cross Art, what they do, how to use them, and how & when you can unlock them.

How to Get & Use Cross Arts

When you are fighting with your enemies, you are gaining some achievements and passive buffs by attacking and defeating them. In Cross Arts (Agent’s special move), to get it, players must have to collect enough Critical Points (CP). You can only equip one Cross Art at a time, so choose the Cross Art that fits your battle situation, like offense, healing, or defense.

During fights, you build Critical Points (CP) by attacking enemies or healing the Digimon party and allies. Hitting enemies’ weak spots gives you more CP. When your CP bar reaches its peak/maximum, the X-Arts command appears next to Skills.

On consoles, to activate your special move, known as Cross Arts, you press R2/RT to open the Cross Arts menu and use the ability. Using a Cross Art consumes one turn in battle. These Cross Arts are very best at affecting your enemies’ health when you attack them and cancel the status effects.

All Cross Arts, Effects & Unlock Cost

The first Cross Art, Field, is unlocked automatically during the Kuwagamon boss fight as part of the main story. And after that, further Cross Arts are unlocked by spending Anomaly Points in the “Bonds of Loyalty” part of the Agent Skill tree.

Following is the list of all Cross Arts, what they can do, and their CP cost.
