Arte Description and History
Rising Phoenix has appeared in most Tales installments since Tales of Phantasia. In its original form used by Cress Albane, he physically transformed into a phoenix and then flew toward his enemy, but its subsequent appearances are more metaphorical in its name. The character jumps into the air and then thrusts down with a fiery, blazing wave. The arte usually has appeared for sword type user characters such as Cress Albane and Stahn Aileron. In later installments the arte started to appear for fist fighting type characters such as Senel Coolidge in Tales of Legendia and the Fighter job class in the Tales of the World series of games.
In Tales of Symphonia, it appears as an arte that is triggered only if Lloyd Irving has an Fire-elemental enchant active while using Rising Falcon, after it has been mastered through enough usage. This enchant can be achieved by equipping a Fire-based weapon or the "Garnet" accessory, using a "Red Quartz" during battle, or activating Sheena Fujibayashi's S. Seal: Fire. After this, Rising Phoenix will always replace Rising Falcon while any Fire-elemental enchant is in use. Despite these requirements, it becomes a standard arte in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, along with Blazing Tempest, to correspond with Lloyd's focus on Fire-elemental abilities in this game.
In PlayStation 3 port of Tales of Vesperia, Flynn is able to use the arte as an altered arte as well, with the skill "Guren" equipped while using Hitenshouku, similar to Lloyd's requirements.
