Aura is a type of buff in Xenoblade Chronicles X. An aura is activated by using Aura Arts, and unlike Support Arts, the effect persists for a set duration. This duration is affected by the level of the Art, and can be increased further through effects such as Extend Aura augments on gear or the Aura Burst skill.
