Shimmerfang Impact

Shimmerfang Impact (双牙煌裂陣, Souga Kouretsujin^?, "Twin Fang Shining Splitting Field") is Ivar's mystic arte in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2.

Arte Description and History[]

After Ivar descends on his opponent in the kneeling pose from his Crushing Eagle arte, he summons a large glyph on the ground from the left dagger he impaled on it. Immediately after this, he leaps into the air, where he strikes a pose, and the dagger in his right hand shines with bright yellow light. Then, Ivar descends onto his enemy with frontal somersault, but shortly before the impact he turns toward his target. When he crash-lands, large pillars of light with fragments of the ground emerge from the glyph. In Tales of Xillia 2, the arte is slightly altered, as Ivar grins when descends onto his enemy. In Tales of the Rays, Ivar uses the mirrage arte Gyakushiki Souga Kouretsujin, which is literally a reverse Shimmerfang Impact.
