Steel (鋭招来 Eishourai?, "Rising Sharpness") is a self-buffing strike arte in the Tales series, first used by Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss.
Arte Description and History[]
This arte, in its first appearance in Tales of the Abyss, raises the user's critical hit rate for a short period of time, with an additional recovery effect if the arte is equipped with the Fon Slot Chamber item Grass Chamber. When used within a fully-charged Fire or Light FOF Circle, this arte is converted into Coil.
Marta Lualdi from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World uses a version that increases her dexterity, while the version used by Jude Mathis from Tales of Xillia increases his attack power and is capable of inflicting damage to enemies in contact with him. In Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2, Jude can alter Steel into Coil if he has the Second Artes skill equipped and the Artes button is held while Steel is used. The Super Star Trio in Tales of Zestiria draws its moveset from Jude, and Steel is one of the artes all members share. In Tales of Crestoria, this arte increases Luke's New Year's First Light unit's ATK by 36% and critical hit rate by 46% for three turns.
