Tales of Symphonia: Sword Dancer 1 (Mania)

[videomaker580]

How did you use the unison attack without draining the guage!?

[Wolfwood824]

@videomaker580

It's a Compound EX Skill that anyone can get called Lucky Unison (Lv1 Taunt + Lv2 Personal). It randomly prevents the gauge from emptying when using a U. Attack.

[rusty132435]

how did you get to luin and all those places before you continued on with the game? i didn't think you could sail back to that island.

[Wolfwood824]

@rusty132435

Uhh...you just walk there before taking the boat from Izoold to Palmacoasta. =/

[RyanShecklerIsMyLife]

where do you find the sword dancer 1? i just finished the tower of mana with sheena do i need to go back to the other island with iselia in it?

[Wolfwood824]

@RyanShecklerIsMyLife

Yes, it's in the tunnel in Ossa Trail, where Sheena busted out before you fought her the first time.

[chasepijr]

I found the fight to be a pain but thats what i get for doing it towards the beginning of the game

[julxer01]

xD when i got on the path with this monster i always was lvl 20 oder 24 :D

[gorillazhead]

Lol, due to Tales of the Abyss' Flex-motion Battle System, they had to make SD 10X harder XP

Still a tough fight though.

[Wolfwood824]

@gorillazhead

Nah, TotA's Sword Dancers are easier in many respects, especially since none of them have any ranged attacks besides Fang.

That and Free Run makes it even easier to take them down with a mostly-ranged party.

[ironluke1998]

lol i fought the first sword dancer at lvl 5 lloyd genis and kratos. collette died..... sad.... but still. i won. kept using demon fang and orange gels lol. kratos healed me, and genis used fireball occasionally.

[FenrirWeapon]

how do you backstep?

[Klookko]

block and then push left-stick back..

[chuuninXninja]

take this! stone Blast!

[isukatvideo]

dude the sword dancer fight is so easy, well the way i do is. what i do is have loyd, kratos/zelos up front and gaurding the spellcasters, collete and raine. have raine cast photon over and over and have collete cast judgment or angel feathers over and over again

[Wolfwood824]

If you'll notice, my party is level 11, so I don't have Photon, making Raine is useless for this fight.

Also, having more than one melee against an enemy like the Sword Dancer is just silly; they'll be a liability because they'll be getting their arse kicked and dying all the time.

[isukatvideo]

........ dammit, well i beat this game alot of times and i thought that you bought that "keep all techs" at the end screen, lol sorry

[ilikeitachi12345]

where do you find sword dancer

[mickeyXIII]

goind to luin/asgard before go to another (places places that you should go first)interfeares in the history?

[xxxViceroyxxx]

Sword Dancer 1 is a joke.

[gggaaaaaarrraaa]

wspecially when you Uber rape him with spell cancelling collette >:)

[supersonicwarrior55]

hah i never thought of that! backstep when he's gonna attack XD

[JamesPeotto]

I when beat him, I don't get any of his drops. Can someone tell me why that is? Please respond ASAP!

[herio907]

Yes. You get the Yata Mirrior, Yasakani Jewel, and Kusanagi Blade (in that order for each Sword Dancer fight).

[JamesPeotto]

No, like the Ex Gems.

[ownerinmmos]

I just LOVE this game I have cleared this 5 times and still I havent had enough of this game and now Im gonna clear it again, but this time in co-op.

[dragonslayer1219]

how did you use the u attack 2 times in a row

[kittycath19]

sometimes when you do it once the gauge stays full. It happened to me few times before. I dont know if you must activate something....

[Wolfwood824]

Take a good look at Lloyd's EX Skills.

[jas5965]

How do you get the magic cycle title?

[ChaoticBlackarms]

Use every type of element in one battle I think.

[princessraki12]

UAU!!!

[FireEmblem3]

Does anybody know where to get a list of all the Compound Unison Attacks?

[Wolfwood824]

GameFAQs.

[nickrulz08]

how did you get kratos's sword?

[Wariol22]

How do you do Compound special attack please answear this i have wonder so long:D

[Necrodain]

Just use two special attacks that form a combo during a Unison Attack. For example, in this video Lightning Tiger Blade comes from using Lightning and Tiger Blade in the same Unison Attack. You'll have to look up a list of all the different combinations, since there's a lot of them.

If you meant how to use a Unison Attack, just press Z when the gauge is full to swing at the enemy, and if it hits you'll go into a Unison Attack (if you miss the gauge empties anyway, so be careful).

[Wariol22]

Ofcourse i know how to use U. Attack:) I have played theis game for 3 years i think

[princessofdarkness8]

Then how do you not know what a compound special attack is?..

[kevb2011]

Now I don't doubt that the Sword Dancers are powerful, but this one seems to be more scrawny-looking than the one in Tales of the Abyss.

[obelisk44]

sword dancer is my favorite monster. Stronger than anything else in the game.

[7d24h]

This guy has 8,888 HP O.o

[yuyuamos]

that guy was hard to fight

[MooseOfReason]

Where is this "Sword Dancer" guy? I haven't gotten to him yet. Maybe I should have, lol. I did a lot of things out of order, like beating Magnius before Adolucia, and other stuff. So my guys are level 22 and I didn't beat Adolucia yet O_o.

[Wolfwood824]

You're SUPPOSED to beat Magnius before Adulocia. I'm guessing you either took the "hard path" or you've done a ton of unnecessary fighting.

As for the Sword Dancer, the first one is in the mine at Ossa Trail (the place where you fought Sheena the first time).

[princessofdarkness8]

And also, after a certain point in the game you are unable to fight him anymore, and to get to the other ones you have to beat this one.

[KrayzeeGuy]

Great strategy, it's more effective than mine (don't ask, it was pure repetitive boredom, not even hard, just slow and boring.) But this strategy is less effective with Sword Dancer 3 and the spammed Indignations.

[FinalRound]

Whoa nice fight! My battle with Sword Dancer 1 was a mess. XD

Funny, I've never actually seen a Compound Unison Attack...LIGHTNING TIGER BLADE!

[Nekoflame]

Whoa lots of grade! XD

Good work.

[Seifer999]

Very nice man. Loved it

[Zetra7]

oh i never noticed it in the EX skill menu guess i just overlooked it..

[Zetra7]

wait a sec at 2:44 Lloyd taunted sword dancer how do you do that?

[Wolfwood824]

It's a Lv1 EX Skill, Taunt. It's fairly useless since Taunt refills the U. Guage so slowly, but it's one of the skills required for L. Unison (which let me use two U. Attacks at the start).

[helikiller3]

have you ever beated him wit lvl 8?

i've done it and pplz say it's impossible T_T

it only happened because i did 1/2 exp on the grade shop

[hangid1]

First again!!Nice double unison attack in the begining. Nice 10.44 grade too.
