Burning Phoenix

From Aselia, the Tales wiki

Burning Phoenix (緋凰絶炎衝 Hiou Zetsuenshou?, "Scarlet Phoenix Sever Blaze Rush"[1]) is one of the classic mystic artes in the series, appearing in multiple games and used by two different main characters.

[edit] Arte Description and History

Burning Phoenix involves the character shrouding himself in flames, divebombing into the ground from the air, followed by a rapid dash along the ground in the opposite direction, dealing several hits and inflicting fire element damage. The first part mirrors Rising Phoenix, of which it was originally extended from.

In Tales of Eternia, this Mystic Arte can be executed by extending from the arte Rising Phoenix if it staggers an enemy. This is one of the signature moves available to Reid Hershel. He also uses it in the cameo colosseum battle in the North American version of Tales of the Abyss if his Rising Phoenix is executed successfully, regardless of staggering the party characters.

In the remake for Tales of Destiny, it is one of Stahn Aileron's Blast Calibers, which activates when he triggers a Blast Caliber in the air with no matter what level his Blast Gauge is filled to, as long as there is at least one.

In the PS3 port of Tales of Vesperia, it is one of Flynn Scifo's Burst Artes, requiring the player to rapidly tap Hououtenku's shortcut button while in any level of Over Limit.
