In Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE you’ll have control of various characters, or artists, to fight and save the city.
Like Fire Emblem, the artists in Tokyo Mirage Sessions all have affinities to certain weapons but they also have differing play styles. There are also character-specific skills each can learn if you raise their Stage Ranks and collect certain Performa.
We compiled a guide of the different artists you’ll have access to, including when you’ll recruit them, the Radiant Skills you’ll learn and each artist’s strengths.
If you want to learn about the different weapons, or carnage, for each artist and what skills they can learn, refer to our Carnage Guide.
Take a look and let us know if there’s anything we may have missed in the comments section below.
