Escape (エスケープ, Esukeepu^?) is a passive skill and arte used throughout the Tales series, though the passive skill version is more used than the arte.

Arte Description and History

This arte simply allows the party to escape from battle. Though being an arte when it first appeared and in the first Crossover Titles, Escape has appeared as a passive skill in later games, where it decreases the time needed to escape. In Tales of VS., it increases the duration of the invincibility afforded by the Backstep action.
