Appearances[edit | edit source]

Final Fantasy XIII-2[edit | edit source]

Ultima Arrow is Serah's full ATB skill, and part of her Ravager Crystarium tree. It is obtained as a Crystarium Expansion ability. It deals physical damage to an enemy.

Serah fires an arrow into the air and it explodes into light as it returns, consuming the area directly in front of her in multiple arrows raining down onto the target. Ultima Arrow is best used just after the opponent has been Staggered, as its chain bonus effectiveness greatly increases. As soon as Serah starts to execute the attack, the player can switch to a paradigm in which she is a Commando, such as Aggression or Cerberus, to deal more damage while still raising the chain gauge. Ultima Arrow will also deal more damage if Serah has more ATB segments.

Ultima Arrow can be used once per battle, unless the player uses an Elixir, which restores the ability to use a full ATB skill. Neither Serah nor the target can be knocked out during the animation. This can lead to a scenario where the player unleashes a full ATB skill on a near-death enemy that is just about to launch a strong attack on the player: if both parties kill each other during full ATB skill animation, the player will win the battle.
