Sword Draw

Battou as it appears in Tales of Graces.

Sword Draw (抜刀, Battou^?, "Drawn Sword") is an assault-style arte used by Asbel Lhant in Tales of Graces and Mayvin in Tales of Zestiria.

Arte Description and History

In Tales of Graces, this arte draws Asbel's sword in a gigantic slash as he switches from using assault artes to burst artes. It provides him with a stack of Iron Stance. It is unnamed within the game; only supplementary materials provide the Japanese name, while the localized name is derived from his battle quote. In Tales of Zestiria, Mayvin performs a quick-draw motion that causes a slash to appear at his target.
