Thousand Swords

Thousand Swords (刺宴, Shien^?, "Cutting Feast") is a strike arte used by Ludger Will Kresnik and Victor from Tales of Xillia 2 and Rose in Tales of Zestiria.

Arte Description and History[]

The user uses their two blades to quickly pierce the target multiple times, in the same fashion as the Sword Rain arte series. In Tales of Xillia 2, the blades are engulfed in a dark aura while piercing the target in order to symbolize its Dark-elemental aspect. This effect does not reappear in Tales of Zestiria because of its Void-elemental aspect.
