Cosmic Arts is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is exclusive to the Cosmocrator DLC garb, dealing physical and magic damage to targets.

Obtained[]

Cosmic Arts Lv. ★ is automatically obtained as the locked ability for the Cosmocrator garb.

Mechanics[]

Cosmic Arts initially deals physical non-elemental damage within a radius of effect around the selected target. After performing the action several times in succession, Lightning will unleash the Ruinga spell, dealing magic damage to multiple targets. All actions performed by the ability cost 15 ATB to use and can be used when airborne.

Cosmic Arts has the following set stats and cannot be upgraded.

Use[]

If the Cosmocrator DLC is purchased, players can obtain it through the Rewards Barter Shop and have access to Cosmic Arts after the opening tutorial dungeon. It is especially useful against enemies weak to both physical and magic attacks. Due to its high attack power and its natural access to the Ruinga spell at the game's start, Cosmic Arts can deal massive damage to multiple early-game monsters, especially when enhanced with En-spell potions. Once the player unlocks stronger garbs and abilities as the game progresses, Cosmic Arts eventually loses its worth.

Etymology[]

Cosmic is anything pertaining to the cosmos. The word Cosmos derives from the Greek term κόσμος (kosmos), literally meaning "order" or "ornament" and metaphorically "world", and is antithetical to the concept of chaos.
