Battle System
Tales of the Tempest uses the 3 on 3 Linear motion battle system which is a throw back to Tales of Rebirths battle system. The system is pretty different though as players can move between these three planes at any time they are also able to attack enemies on other planes by adjusting their position. The game also features the beastman transformation system, which allows Caius and Forest to morph into their beast form during battle, this increases their strength and attack power, but leaves them unable to use their physical artes and spells.
Artes
In the tales series Artes are used to dish out extra damage aside from typical character combos. In general these abilities are learned over the course of the game by leveling and in some cases side events. Moves are usually designated to one button and 4 artes can be mapped Linking these moves with your normal combos is the bread and butter of the Tales series in terms of being offensive.
