Virulent Shards

Virulent Shards (千の毒晶, Sen no Dokushou^?, "Thousand Baneful Crystals") is a Wind-elemental hidden arte exclusive to the Wind Armatus from Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria.

Arte Description and History[]

The user leaps into the air, conjuring multiple mana daggers pointing at the field in the target's close proximity, that the user then rains upon the enemy in rapid succession, each dagger conjuring a green wind blast upon contact with the ground. In Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria, this arte has a chance to inflict the "Fatigue" status ailment, and in Tales of Zestiria, is effective against crustaceans.
