Complex Photon Arts are an enhanced form of Photon Arts accessible to certain weapons.
Learning/Gauge Expansion
Learning Complex Photon Arts
Complex Photon Arts can be learned by clearing the Koffie CO "Complex PA Permit Test". Upon completion of the CO, all currently implemented Complex PAs will be automatically learned. All Complex PAs added in future updates will also be learned automatically after the update.
Complex PA Gauge
The Complex PA Gauge starts at a maximum of 3 Stock. The upper limit of the Gauge can be increased by completing certain COs from Koffie.
- "Complex PA Expansion Test I": Earn the Title "昏き闇を見つめし者" (Clear The Endless Darkness on Ultra Hard difficulty).
- "Complex PA Expansion Test II": Earn the Title "闇の痕跡を拭う者" (Clear Training: Traces of Darkness on Ultra Hard difficulty).
Mechanics
- Unaffected by Just Attacks.
- Unaffected by percentage damage boosts, including, but not limited to, Class skills,
Weapon Potentials, 
Abilities, and 
S-Class Special Abilities that increase damage in percentages. - Affected normally by
S-ATK, 
R-ATK and 
T-ATK, depending on the weapon type (e.g. Imperial Cleave is affected by S-ATK). - Affected by enemy spot weaknesses and resistances.
- Can inflict Critical Hits, but is not affected by Critical Damage boosts (e.g. S1:Skilled Strike).
- Unaffected by special damage boosts such as A.I.S. Exoda's non-A.I.S. weakness, Ultra Hard enemy shields, and Omega Masquerade's
weapon weakness. - Ignores rematch type boss base damage reduction (e.g. Deus ESC-A Gracia's and Dragon Atrum's 50% damage reduction).
- Still does 1 damage to perfect resistant enemies such as Hagith Phemut in Magisterial Onslaught, and the special version of Falz Arms in Endless: Eternal Rondo.
- Skills that rely on combos such as Fury Combo and Tech Arts JA Boost do not increase its damage, but the Just Attack combo count is not lost upon use.
