Azure Assault (蒼穹の十二連 Soukyuu no Juuniren?, "Blue Sky's Twelve Chain") is a Water-elemental hidden arte exclusive to the Water and Longbow Armatuses from Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria.
Arte Description and History[]
The user aims their bow horizontally at their enemy, a large, ornamental, and blue glyph around the arrowhead, then releases twelve spiraling water arrows at the enemy.In Tales of Zestiria, this arte has a 5% chance to inflict the Poison status ailment and is effective against armored enemies, while in Tales of Berseria, it can drain SG. It is also one of the attacks used during Sorey's Suijinshourai mirrage arte in Tales of the Rays.
In Tales of Zestiria the X, the move is used against a Drake in Marlind by Sorey armatized with Mikleo, where the execution of this arte resembles the one seen in the game, with an added effect of the water arrows joining later together to form a heaven-piercing stream of water. The move is also used in Ladylake, where with the help of Rose and Alisha Diphda, Sorey successfully purifies the dragon that has appeared there. While traveling in the north, Sorey uses this arte while fighting a dragon.
