If you want to make heavy use of Martial Arts skills, you may also consider the weight class of the armor you’ve equipped. Heavier armor classes will increase your Spirit Consumption. Your Spirit gauge will refill as you attack the enemy, and you can reduce the amount of Spirit consumed by your skills by using weapons with a high Deflect Difficulty stat. Spirit expenditure is also heavily affected by the game’s Virtue system. Martial Arts skills should generally be weaved into your combos and can make great finishers.
