Milla Maxwell

History

• Biography

  Milla Maxwell was created as the incarnation of Maxwell, the "Lord of Spirits". Milla controls the Four Great Spirits: Efreet, Undine, Sylph, and Gnome. She holds the duty to protect the world and everything that resides in it.
  
  She wields a traditional sword like many Tales protagonists. Her stats gained from the Lilium Orb are rather balanced with a slight focus on intelligence and strength. Her physical artes mainly consist of close range attacks that use the blade of her sword or short range magic projectiles. She can also summon the four great spirits to do quick attacks, unlike other Tales games where spirits are used like spells and require an incantation time. Through the "Magic Stance" skill, she can trade her quick melee slashes for a slower style consisting of ranged light strikes.
  
  Her unique "Spirit Shift" special ability allows her to use close range elemental attacks that take the place of her spirit magic when the "artes" button is not held down. Milla has Spirit Magic of elements from the four great spirits but focuses more on fire and wind, as well as having access to lightning, a combination of fire and wind, and light magic. She can be played as an offensive spell caster or as a melee attacker. Her spirit-shifted artes allow for fast elemental damage, compared to spirit artes that requires incantation time but covers wide areas.
  
  Milla excels more in aerial combat, exemplified by her many aerial skills that allow for better mobility and damage while in midair. Almost all of her artes have aerial enabled with quick speed to allow combos to be easily performed. Milla's partner skill is "Bind". While Milla is the secondary partner, any time the monster targeted by the primary partner is stunned, she will bind them with a magic circle, disabling the target while the former is free to attack. Milla is best utilized against Speed-type monsters who are too fast to hit easily.
