Havoc Blast as it appears in Tales of Vesperia.
Devastation (崩襲撃 Houshuugeki?, "Crumbling Descent"), also localized as Havoc Blast, is an arte in the Tales series that is usually associated with Presea Combatir from Tales of Symphonia.
Arte Description and History[]
Devastation is one of Presea's most recognizable attacks. When used, she jumps into the air and then slams her weapon into the ground. She retains this move in most of her Crossover Title appearances. Using this move with the arte Pow Hammer in a Unison Attack results in Pow Devastation.
Havoc Blast becomes Boccos's burst arte in Tales of Vesperia. When used, he slams his spear down on the enemy. Despite this name change, the name returns as "Devastation" in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. In Tales of Innocence R, Hasta Ekstermi jumps and rolls in the air before slamming his spear down. In Tales of Arise, this arte can only be used in the air.
