Sonic Bash (衝破 Shouha?, "Collide Destruction") is an Earth-elemental archery arte in the Tales series that is notably used by Chester Burklight from Tales of Phantasia and the Hunter class from the Radiant Mythology series of games.
Arte Description and History
When this arte is activated, the user shoots an arrow into the ground, causing the earth to break apart below the enemy as debris is thrown upward in a small area. Chelsea Torn acquires this arte in the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny, as well as the subsequent "Director's Cut" edition of the game. In the English version of Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Sonic Bash's localization is swapped with Eagle Shot.
