Deadly Destruction

Deadly Destruction (爆壊連舞, Bakkairenbu^?, "Blasting Destruction Dance") is an Earth-elemental master arte usually associated with Presea Combatir and Forest Ledoyen from Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Tempest.

Arte Description and History[]

The arte has the user slam their weapon onto the ground, causing rocks to be blasted from the ground. Even more Earth-elemental damage is caused when the user raises the weapon from the ground. In Tales of Symphonia, this arte is from the Technical arte branch, meaning Presea can only obtain it if her EX Skills are Technical. Its Strike counterpart is Fiery Destruction. In Tales of the Tempest, the arte is an extension and can only be activated by using Bakusaizan followed with Kogetsusen.

In Tales of the Rays, Presea's version alters into Renga Bakusaijin when used at the sixth or later action in a chain or during Burst Limits while Forest's version of the arte is also Light-elemental and alters into Gousen Bakusaida when used at the sixth or later action in a chain.
