Souhajin as it appears in Tales of Destiny 2.
Azure Edge (蒼破刃 Souhajin?, "Azure Tearing Edge") is a projectile strike arte in the Tales series that usually serves as the basic-ranged technique for a sword user without access to the Demon Fang arte.
Arte Description and History[]
Azure Edge fires a green or blue projectile in the air at a target. It originally appears as an arte available to Kyle Dunamis that replaces the traditional Demon Fang. It is similar to Demon Fang in that it can be used from long range, though it travels through the air rather than along the ground. It can be extended into Azure Storm with the Tsuika Tokugi (追加特技?, "Additional Base Arte") skill enchant equipped. In some games, it appears as blue, while in others, it is green; this difference can be traced to the complexity of the blue–green distinction in the Japanese language.
Azure Edge as it appears in Tales of Vesperia.
In Tales of Vesperia, Azure Edge appears as the starting base arte for Yuri Lowell. Yuri slashes his weapon through air, which sends a blue blast through the air at the enemy, dealing Wind-elemental damage. It can also become faster and travel slightly farther with more use. Azure Edge is also the original arte of two altered artes in the game, Azure Storm and Azure Blast. In the PlayStation 3 and Definitive Edition ports of the game, Azure Edge is key in unlocking the Twin Wave mystic arte. In Tales of Hearts, Azure Edge is a combination arte performed by Kor Meteor using Kuuretsusen and Hisui Hearts using Stream Arrow.
In Tales of Xillia 2, Ludger Will Kresnik can use this in his normal form, in which it is green. He can also use it in his Chromatus, in which it appears much larger and takes a more indigo color.
In Project X Zone, Yuri performs three normal attacks after using Azure Edge, while in Project X Zone 2, the order of execution is reversed.
