Burst Artes
*Divine Wolf: Yuri punches the ground, then rampages toward the enemy with constant slashes.

*Depending on the weapon he has equipped, if it has any elemental substance within it, he can use it to change his Burst Arte, an example would be "Divine Wolf - Blaze" which adds fire to his original Burst Arte, ending with an explosion of fire on the enemy. For more information, please check the Arte Exhibition at the bottom for demonstrations of each Arte, showcasing each one individually.

"Divine Wolf - Flood" "Divine Wolf - Crush" "Divine Wolf - Storm" Are the other varying BA's for Yuri. In RP, I'll be using normal "Divine Wolf," in most cases.

Mystic Artes
Savage Wolf Fury: Yuri slashes the opponent from different angles as he dashes around them. As the assault continues, his strikes become more fluent and brutal. Soon, the enemy is being sliced from 4 different points within a second. Yuri then finishes with a large slash through the center of the field, which causes an outburst of energy.
Tenshou Kouyokuken (PS3-only): Yuri grabs the Vesperia 2nd and begins charging it with energy. He then creates a giant feather that extends from the tip of his blade. After a moment of concentration, he slams it onto the foe, causing a uproar of Light.
Bushin Soutenha (PS3-only): Both Yuri and Flynn create a giant glyph around the enemy with their blades, then rush through the center target. They then both leap into the air, and ready themselves for a team slash. After their swords clash, the tips create an enormous sky wave than falls onto the glyph, dealing extreme amounts of damage to everything inside.

Skills
This section will not contain all of Yuri's skills, mainly because Yuri gets pretty broken when it comes to them. Just the skill Glory alone makes it pretty difficult to actually hurt him. So I'll be putting in skills that are default to Yuri instead.

Backstep: Self-explanatory. Yuri hops backwards. Also applies "Landing Step" which allows him to backstep as much as he could want.
Special: Required to activate Mystic Artes, in Overlimit Lv.3 or above.
Step Combo: During backstep, he can do a jump attack.
Critical Guard: Moves forward while guarding, can be treated as a sort of parry or special guard that decreases damage received.
Magic Guard: Prepares a blue sphere around him to block efficiently from magic/elemental attacks.

Overlimit
A special skill that allows Yuri to enter a state where he releases greater power much different from before. He learns this technique from the Imperial Knights. It has four different levels:

Lv. 1 - For a limited time, can attack endlessly and enables the use of Burst Artes.
Lv. 2 - Stacks on Lv. 1, more damage dealt to downed enemies.
Lv. 3 - Stacks on Lv. 2 and 1, enables Mystic Arte use and Artes do not require any TP, or "energy."
Lv. 4 - Stacks on Lv. 3, 2, and 1, takes no damage and does not stagger.
