Air Thrust

Air Slash as it appears in Tales of Destiny (PSX).

Air Thrust (エアスラスト, Easurasuto^?) is a recurring Wind-elemental spell in the Tales series, usually of the intermediate-tier class.

Arte Description and History

Air Thrust as it appears in Tales of Symphonia.

Air Thrust surrounds the target with sharp blades of wind, dealing many hits quickly while slightly lifting the enemy into the air. This spell is excellent for creating party combos because it can increase the hit count considerably quickly while preventing potential enemy knockdown and leaving it open for further attacks. The animation for this spell sometimes differs in certain entries, usually involving the wind resembling razor-edged discs or saw blades. In Tales of Arise, it appears as four discs of Wind astral energy that home in on the enemy one by one.

In Tales of Symphonia, this spell is a sphere of wind tears that lacerates the enemy. It is from the Technical arte branch for Genis Sage, its Strike counterpart being Air Blade. Although Genis can choose between these two spells, Kratos Aurion and Zelos Wilder both acquire it, regardless of their disposition. This spell's animation is reused in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3, the PS2 remake of Tales of Destiny, the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology series, Tales of Innocence, Tales of Hearts, Tales of VS., Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave, Tales of Hearts R, Tales of the World: Reve Unitia, and Tales of the Rays.

In Tales of Hearts, if either Kohaku Hearts or Hisui Hearts are summoned into battle using the Connect Command panel, and while controlling the opposite character to use both this spell and Cure at the same time, the combination arte becomes Fairy Circle. If Hisui or Beryl Benito are summoned using this spell and Stone Wall, the combination arte becomes Add Pressure.
