Lightning Thrust (瞬雷剣 Shunraiken?, "Instantaneous Lightning Sword") is a Lightning-elemental strike arte exclusive to Lloyd Irving and Yuan Ka-Fai in Tales of Symphonia.
Arte Description and History[]
Similar to Sonic Thrust, the user thrusts their blade at the enemy, summoning a weak lightning bolt to strike the target. This arte is similar in style to Lightning Blade, but while Lightning Thrust derives from Sonic Thrust, Lightning Blade represents the base of its own separate family of artes.
As it is an elemental variation of another arte, there are special requirements in order to use it. Lloyd Irving first needs to have used Sonic Thrust 200 times, then he must be dealing Lightning-elemental damage, either through the use of the Sardonyx accessory, the Tethe Seal: Lightning arte, a Lightning-elemental weapon, or the Purple Quartz item. When these requirements are met, Lightning Thrust will be used automatically in place of Sonic Thrust.
In Tales of the Rays, this arte is Wind-elemental.
