Frost Breaker (砕氷刃 Saihyoujin?, "Ice Breaking Blade") is a Water-elemental burst-style arte used by Asbel Lhant from Tales of Graces and a martial arte used by Jude Mathis in Tales of Xillia 2.
Arte Description and History[]
In Tales of Graces, Asbel charges his blade with Ice-elemental energy, then slashes diagonally upward to right, followed by a diagonal downward slash to the right, creating an image of a frozen "X". When this arte is followed immediately with itself again, Asbel will spin clockwise, slashing his blade diagonally upward to the right, then diagonally downward to the right.
In Tales of Xillia 2, Jude leaps into the air while his right hand gathers Ice-elemental energy, then descends onto his target, smashing his right hand at it and conjuring a pillar of ice that quickly shatters. In this game, the move is also Earth-elemental, and its third hit forces downed enemies to stand.
In Tales of the Rays, this arte alters into Genma Shoureppa when used as the sixth or later action in a chain.
