Hail (雹雨 Haku'u?, "Hail Rain"), originally localized as Arrow Storm, is an archery-based arte used by characters primarily from Tales of Destiny and the Hunter class from the Radiant Mythology series of games.
Arte Description and History[]
The user shoots eight arrows into the air that rain down at a fixed distance from the user's position, regardless of where the target is. Because of its spread, it can be used to damage multiple enemies at once, although there is a delay between the release of the arrows and the actual damage effect due to travel distance. In Tales of the Rays, this arte is Water-elemental and alters into Kyokuchi Sandankyuu when standing or moving.
In both language files of Tales of Symphonia, there are unused voice clips of this arte used by Colette Brunel, localized as Gale Shot. However, she does not have access to this arte in any final version of the game. Her variant is shouted as Hyou'u.
