Omega Tempest Strike (ToE)

Omega Tempest Strike as it appears in Tales of Eternia.

Omega Tempest (真空裂斬 Shinkuuretsuzan?, "Vacuum Splitting Slash"), also localized as Omega Tempest Strike, is an upgraded version of the Tempest Strike arte.

Arte Description and History[]

This arte was conceived in Tales of Eternia as a more powerful Wind-elemental version of Tempest Strike, with the potential to travel across the full length of a screen during battle. Reid Hershel would reuse this variant in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3, and Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave.

The arte was modified in Tales of Symphonia, which Lloyd Irving spins forward as if initiating a Tempest, then spins directly upward to continue the attack. The user then jumps backward to land close to the same position where this arte was executed. This variant would be used by Reid Hershel in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, Later games included only the rising part as the arte's staple animation, such as Stahn Aileron in the PS2 remake of Tales of Destiny, Spada Belforma in Tales of Innocence and Radiant Mythology 2 and Radiant Mythology 3, and Kunzite in Tales of Hearts and Tales of Hearts R.

This arte's current implementation is exceptionally useful for juggling enemies in the air for impressive combos. However, it is harder to use this arte by itself to evade enemy attacks and spells compared to Tempest Strike or its upgrades or variants since the user lands near the starting position rather than moving forward.

In Tales of the Rays, this arte alters into Shinkuu Zanretsusen when used as the sixth or later action in a chain or during Burst Limits.

In the Japanese language files of Tales of Legendia, there is a voice clip of this arte used by Chloe Valens. However, she doesn't have access to this arte in any final version of the game.
