Sword Rain

Sword Rain (散沙雨 Chirisazame, "Scatter Sand Rain") is the base arte variant of the Sword Rain: Alpha arte.

Arte Description and History
Sword Rain is an excellent arte to form combos with, especially when linked in a combo with its stronger variants. When this arte is activated, the user stabs the target with many rapid thrusts.

Sword Rain is the downgraded form of Sword Rain: Alpha and was not conceived until Tales of Eternia, in which it is one of the first artes that can be obtained. Although the arte does not appear in most games with Sword Rain: Alpha, it has become a primary requirement for its more powerful form in the games in which it does appear.

It is Adecor's burst arte in Tales of Vesperia, with its simplicity signifying the user's relative weakness.

In Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, it is the first of two artes that Lloyd Irving contributes to a Unison Attack.

In Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2, the arte's name was localized as "Staff Rain" due to Leia Rolando's use of a staff instead of a sword. Despite the fact that the Golden Mage Knight - Duelist in Tales of Xillia also uses a staff as he mimics her fighting style, his version was localized as the traditional "Sword Rain".
