Break Soul

Break Soul (ブレイクソウル) is a battle exclusive feature to Tales of Berseria. Similarly to the "Chain Blast" Battle Action from Tales of Zestiria, this action allows the player to raise the upper limit of artes in a combo, but with a new effect of invoking a unique special action that differ depending on the character. Break Souls have between three to four tiers and are gained by leveling. When a character as 3 Souls or more, the player can expend one Soul to execute a Break Soul by pressing the R2 button. Break Souls also have a variety of support abilities attached to it, and all characters' Soul Breaks restore their HP and BG.
