Burst Art Effects are special follow-ups that can be tacked on to Burst Arts. While they don’t level up, they are unlocked by leveling Burst Arts. Burst Arts deal a percentage of the damage of the corresponding Burst Art you attach them to.
There are 4 kinds of Burst Art Effects. There are no official names for Burst Art Effects and they loosely resemble the different kinds of type attacks in the game so I refer to them as Slash, Crush, Pierce & Projectile types.
