Sword Rain


 * This article is about the arte once localized as "Sword Rain". For the arte that was also once localized by that name, used by Cress Albane in Tales of Phantasia, see Sword Rain: Alpha.

Sword Rain (散沙雨), alternatively known as Staff Rain, is the base arte version of the Sword Rain: Alpha arte.

Arte Description and History
Sword Rain is an excellent arte to form combos with, especially when linked in a combo with its stronger versions. When this arte is used, the character stabs the target with many rapid thrusts.

Although Sword Rain is a base arte from which its variants branch form, this arte is originally based on the more powerful master arte Sword Rain: Alpha, which has existed since the beginning of the series. Sword Rain is the downgraded form of Sword Rain: Alpha, and was not conceived until Tales of Eternia, in which it is one of the first artes that can be obtained. Although the arte does not appear in most games with Sword Rain: Alpha, it has become a primary requirement for its more powerful form in the games it does appear in.

Known as Sword Rain in Tales of Vesperia, it is Adecor's burst arte, perhaps as a signal as to how weak he is.
