Tiger Blade

Tiger Blade (虎牙破斬) is a classic technique of the Tales series. This is one of the most well-recognized swordsman skills of the series.

Skill description and history
When using Tiger Blade, the character slashes upwards while jumping, then slashes downwards while landing. This skill is effective in bringing flying opponents down to the ground.

Tiger Blade first appeared in Tales of Phantasia, as one of Cless Alvein's early skills. Tiger Blade is also featured in the opening cinematic of the SFC and GBA versions of this game.

In Tales of Rebirth, Kogahazan (Tiger Blade) is not a normally learned skill. To use this skill, Veigue Lungberg requires the "Taketora Spirit Talisman" (「猛虎の魂」) to be equipped, to convert his Zehhyoujin skill to Kogahazan.

In Tales of the Abyss, Tiger Blade can be used within a complete Earth or Dark FOF circle to transform the skill into Wyrm Wrath.
