Flash Fencer - Master Arts Review

RANK	Arts	Rating
1	Hidden Thorn	★★★・・
10	Cross Impact	★★★★★
20	Saber Strike	★・・・・

Cross Impact can upgrade itself, it is the highest-priority Art for an Attacker to acquire. The Hidden Thorn can be combined with Accessories which has a special effect on bleed to further increase its damage. It is safer to equip strong Arts so learning this is not a priority.

Flash Fencer - Master Skill Reviews

RANK	Skills	Rating
5	Critical Strike	★★★★★
15	Capable Hands	★★★・・

Critical Strike's critical damage bonus is an essential skill for an Attacker, and should be learned at all cost. If your party is designed for short term battles, Capable Hands allows you to use Talent Art quickly and it could be useful so there is no harm in learning it.
