Tidal Wave

Tidal Wave (タイダルウェイブ / タイダルウェーブ) is a classic spell in the Tales series, typically appearing as the strongest Water-element spell.

Arte Description and History
In the 2D Tales games, Tidal Wave creates, as its name implies, a tidal wave which engulfs all enemies. In the 3D ones, however, it usually appears as a swirling vortex of water which covers most, if not all, of the battlefield.

In Tales of Symphonia, if used with Ray in a Unison Attack, it will form Prism Stars.

In Tales of Legendia, it instead appears as two torrents of water that surrounds and traps an enemy, followed by a bigger, stronger one that aims at its target. It is Shirley Fennes's final crystal eres and the strongest Sea-elemental eres.
