This page covers facts and in-depth game usage of the character, Chloe Valens. For a comprehensive reference list of in-game commands, see Command List: Chloe Valens.
Chloe using Shuusouraizan
Chloe Valens (クロエ・ヴァレンス Kuroe Varensu) is the only playable character from Tales of Legendia. She first appeared on the Legacy as a knight and was looking for a man with a snake tatoo. Chloe started to have romantic feelings for Senel Coolidge ever since he saved her from drowning in a river and kept it a secret from the rest of the party so that the others wouldn't know that she cannot swim.
Chloe is a user of IronEres (similar to Artes in Tales of Legendia) and has an extrodinary talent with the sword. She is swift and can easily connect her artes together in a combo. Chloe is most suited for ground melee combat since she cannot use her artes in mid-air. Her stats are mostly average as compared to other ACS characters.
Chloe is recommended for intermediate and veteran players.
Chloe's support artes and one of her mystic artes allow her to summon Senel Coolidge from Tales of Legendia in battle.
If you look closely at some of Chloe's sprites, parts of her pants are missing. During the importing of the sprites, their color was made transparent.
General Tips & Usage[]
Being a disciplined knight, Chloe's gameplan revolves around proper spacing and strong defense. Her attack range rivals Eugene Gallardo, with a large melee attack range and long-range eres like Shippuusen and Kenbu. If any of those or similar eres connect, then Chloe can begin applying scary pressure, with moves like Gekkoujin, Shoubu, and Makinken Shunga to intercept the opponents guard, or use moves that recover quickly like Shippuusen and Chirisazame to bait counters. If Chloe is on the defensive end, she can use her Compound Eres to escape, as long as your prediction skills are on point.
Chloe's biggest weakness is her overall mobility. While she can approach in a flash from about the midscreen range, outside of that, she can have difficulty moving in without significant risk. Her air game is also very weak, as she has no eres whatsoever that can be used in the air. Noneletheless, Chloe can be one of the scariest characters to guard against. If you get in, be relentless.
Chloe has average jumping height, movement speed, dash length, damage output, and HP.
Chloe has an average to above average defense against Guard Break.
Chloe receives 40% more damage from Light Elemental attacks and 10%less damage from Water and Wind Elemental Attacks. (Please refer to this page for more information on ACS Elements).

This eres has an exploitable bug that freezes an enemy upon the last hit. To use the bug, follow the steps below.
Chloe's Kouka Renmeibu bug.
Step 1: Use this eres on an enemy at a very specific location on the map near the wall. The place in front of where Chloe is standing is the perfect spot for the right wall.
Step 2: Just as Chloe is about to drop from mid-air, if you see Chloe almost shifting sides with the enemy, the bug will activate and the screen will always be tinted in red.
The enemy will always be inflicted with the Grab status effect unless you attack him/her. This will cancel the bug but the screen will still be tinted in red.
If you attack the enemy and cause the disabled status effect, the enemy will still be considered in grabbed status effect. The combo counter will not reset until you damage the enemy with a non-disabling attack.
TTS is Very Fast. TTL is Non-existent but can become Very Short if used at a certain portion of the map and Long if the Kouka Renmeibu bug is exploited.
Musou Jinretsusen
Multiple ranged slashes followed by a thrust and an explosion.
Deceptively small hitbox.
The best eres to use since the damage is high and only TP is required to use this eres.
Gives a lengthy period to input for Kouka Renmeibu.
Shippuusen > Jinpuusen > Any Arcane Eres
Quick Input Version:
↓ ← A > ↓ ← B > Any Arcane Arte
4 hits, 19 damage.
Use for either covering a large area (60% screen length, 80% hit-able), after an Overlimit, or to catch your opponent off guard, to continue your combo.
A > A > A > ↓ ← → A > ↓ → B > ← → ← D > ← F > ↓ ← → C > ↓ ← → D > ↓ → ↓ ← E
31 Hits if no Mystic eres are used. Damage is 1/9 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500).
Requirements:
Enemy must not be cornered against a wall.
TP for Musou Jinretsusen (Optional)
Notes:
Note 1: Input the command as soon as Chloe's feet lifts in the air.
Note 2:Majinken Souga and Shuu'u Majinken's knockback should be maximized before using the next eres.
Note 3: Using Getsuejin's shortcut button is easier.
Chloe's bread and butter combo. Very easy to use and you'll find yourself doing this combo a lot.
Musou Jinretsusen is optional. If you end the combo using Koga Kuuretsuzan, spam press A to use the combo again. This usually works all the time against AI.

Chloe's 3rd Melee Attack doesn't have enough TTL to combo into Shoubu. Stop at the 2nd attack instead.
Cancel Shoubu into Majinken Souga as fast as you can. These two eres will leave Chloe at the perfect distance for Shuu'u Majinken to have enough TTL.
Shuu'u Majinken leaves Chloe at a large advantage when it hits, enough time to connect a Genshouken. This is a link, not a cancel, so timing is required. Watch Chloe's sword after Shuu'u Majinken. Input the command for Genshouken when Chloe draws her sword back. Apply the same timing for connecting Majinken Kenbu.
→ D > A > ↑ → > A or ↓ ← A > A > A > A > ↓ ← → A > ↓ → B > ← → ← D > ↓ → C > F > → D > A > ↑ → > A > A > A > A > ↓ ← → A > ↓ → B > ← → ← D > ↓ → C > ↓ ← ↓ → E
Total Hits = 60. Damage is 6/7 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500).
Requirements:
Enemy must be against a wall.
Enemy must be disabled before the start of the combo.

Note 2: You can use either actions enumerated above. Just be sure to hit the enemy before Senel does.
Note 3: There is a certain timing that you need to fulfill in order to connect the combo. Attack the enemy just after Senel performs the uppercut. Refer to the Instant Kill Combo video for an actual simulation.
Note 4: Input the command as soon as Chloe's feet is lifted in the air.
Note 5: Majinken Souga and Shuu'u Majinken's knockback should be maximized before using the next eres.
Note 6: Use this eres as soon as possible.
Chloe's standard wall combo 1. Not that difficult to perform, especially if you remove the part where Senel is summoned.
See the instant kill combo video for a simulation on how to use Senel.

Long Combo[]
【ACS】Chloe Combo 2

Around 88 hits (depending on how many hits of Raikouken hit). Around 480 HP damage (depending on how many hits of Raikouken hit).
( A > A > A > ↓ → A > ← ↓ → C > ↓ → D ) or ( A > A > A > ← F > ↓ → D ) > F > ( ← ↓ A > ↓ → B > ↓ → ↓ →C ) X2 > ( ← ↓ A > ↓ → B > ← → ← D ) X3 > ← F > ↓ ← → C > ↓ → ← C > F > → D > A > ↑ → > A > A > A > A > ↓ ← → A > ↓ → B > ← → ← D > ↓ → C > ↓ ← ↓ → E
Note 1: To connect this properly with Majinken Shunga, maximize the knockback of both Majinken and Jin'u.
Note 2: Unleashe Overlimit as soon as Majinken Shunga hits the enemy.
Note 3: At the first time you use Shippuusen, the timing is to use it as soon as possible. At the second time, use Shippuusen just as the enemy stops being pushed back from Raikouken.
Note 4: If the above steps are done correctly, Raikouken should always hit the enemy twice.
Note 5: At the first time you use Shippuusen, the timing is to use it as soon as possible. At the second time, press the command just as the enemy stops being pushed back and at the 3rd time, press the command just a little bit earlier than the second time you used it. Maximize the knockback effect of Majinken Souga before using Shuu'u Majinken.
Note 6: Be sure to hit the enemy before Senel does or else the combo will be affected. Simultaneously hitting the enemy with Chloe's normal attack and Senel's Shinryuuheki will also end up in failure.
Note 7: There is a certain timing that you need to fulfill in order to connect the combo. Attack the enemy just after Senel performs the uppercut.
Note 8: Input the command as soon as Chloe's feet is lifted in the air.
Chloe's instant kill combo. Not very difficult to use but not easy either.

Highest Combo[]
Story Mode[]
Chloe has a total of 7 Story Modes, ranging from Easy to Unknown 2. Note that all modes including and preceding Hard feature opponents that come in "Rounds", meaning that the field, positions, and statistics (HP and otherwise) will reset once an opponent is defeated. Modes after Hard feature opponents that come one after another, meaning that the fields, positions, and statistics of your character will not reset once an opponent has been defeated. However, A portion of your HP is refunded whenever an opponent is defeated in Mania Mode.
