Crescent Strike

Crescent Strike (弧月閃) is a warrior and swordsman technique from the Tales series.

Skill description and history
As the skill appears in most games, the character sweeps upward with a powerful vertical slash, jumping into the air with the upward momentum while creating a large arc that represents a crescent moon. This effect is typical of the warrior skillset represented by most characters who use this skill, but it has appeared also as a swordsman skill that involves two slashes. In Tales of the Abyss, Guy Cecil slashes upwards to create the image of a full moon, then slashes down at an angle to slice through the moon, staying rooted to the ground during the attack. And in Tales of the Tempest, Caius Qualls does two diagonally alternating upward slashes while jumping.

Also unique to Tales of the Abyss, Crescent Strike can be used within a complete Water or Dark FOF circle to transform it into Frigid Moon.
