Air Pressure (エアプレッシャー, Eapuresshaa?) is a powerful Earth-elemental spell in the Tales series.
Arte Description and History
When used, a circle appears under the _target, creating a large burst of air that crushes all enemies within its range with immense pressure. In Tales of Destiny 2, it can extend into Ceiling Fall. The spell is similar in style to Dreaded Wave, but not as powerful, dealing less hits than its counterpart from the other games.
The arte later appears in Tales of Xillia, its appearance is based on Ruinous Drive's second level and can be used by Rowen Ilbert. Through his Arte Tuning special ability, the player can manipulate the amount of hits by pressing the Arte button to add more hits and increase the damage dealt.
In Tales of Zestiria the X, Edna uses what appears to be Air Pressure, albeit not naming it, to trap the Drake in Marlind in a pillar of earth circles so that it will not fly away from Sorey's close-combat attacks while he is armatized with Lailah. In Tales of Link, Edna can also use a variation called Air Pressure/Gain (エアプレッシャー/ゲイン, Eapuresshaa/Gein?) that has a health-stealing component.
In Tales of Crestoria, Leon Magnus's A Heart Cleansed in Flame unit's version of this arte inflicts 25% more damage and deals one less hit than Edna's Looking to the Dawn unit but it can inflict Curse on all enemies affected in range for four turns. Gnome's version of the arte inflicts two stacks of Weak on all enemies affected in range.
