This article is about the weapon arte localized as "Mirage". For other uses, see Mirage (disambiguation).

Mirage (陽炎, Kagerou^?, "Air Shimmer") is a recurring strike arte in the Tales series.

Arte Description and History

The user fades like a mirage and then reappears above the enemy to perform a strong downward strike on their head. In Tales of the Rays, Dio's version is Fire-elemental and when activated during Class Up it will alter into Kagerou Zetsuen while Garr Kelvin's version is Non-elemental and alters into Zetsuei when used at the sixth or later action in a chain.

In the Japanese files of Tales of Graces, there is a voice clip of Richard using the arte. However, he does not have access to it in the final version of any game.
