Part 149: Missed Content - Judith's Mystic Arte Variation and Joke Artes

So recently, I randomly stumbled across a video on Youtube by omegaevolution that showed off a few things I did not know about Judith's artes! Clearly this LP has to be the most complete reference for Vesperia on the whole planet, so I recorded them myself to show off.

Remember Judith's Mystic Arte? Apparently, it has a variation for when you activate it by holding the Guard button in addition to the Attack button when initiating the Mystic Arte. It's similar to the regular variation, but uses different camera angles, timing and voice clips, and deals a few extra hits at the end.

Starts off pretty much the same as normal.





The camera angle here is different, and the slash happens later than normal.







This part happens immediately after the slash in the regular variant, but is delayed here. It also seems to hit a few more times than normal.







But that's not all! Back when I posted the joke weapon artes, I was under the impression Judith just had one. As it turns out, she has three different ones!

All of these require the Maid costume and the Deck Brush weapon.

First we have Brush Spear, which you activate by just using Moonlight Blast once it has been used 300 times.







Judith turns around and stabs people behind her twice with the back of the broom. It can also hit enemies in front.

If you hold the Attack, Arte, and Guard buttons during Brush Spear, Judith chains it into Mind of Brush:







She keeps cleaning the floor in front of her until you stop holding the buttons. This deals damage to whoever runs into the brush while it keeps going, and also to whoever happens to stand behind her when she pulls the broom back.


And finally, we have the Arte I showed before, which doesn't have a name. Judith shouts "Time to clean up!" when it starts. You activate it by holding Attack, Arte, and Guard during Sundering Moon.





Judith runs ahead, sweeping the floor in front of her. This knocks away everyone in her way, or does a ton of hits to whoever can't be knocked away.


And that's it already!
