Reala. Such a cute girl =03, but when it comes to this battle, she can def gives as good as she gets. She bolsters the highest C.Def in the game, even more than the 'gong and Theos at 4960(2nd highest is Theos at 4200) and the 3rd highest P.Def. as well(~1580). Her attack stats are high, but given her mage nature, is not as threatening as, say, Solomus.
Her first phase is pretty straightforward. She will do a single staff strike, occasionally following it up with the Aerialboard(ToE =03), or, a simple 3-hit combo that releases a short-range projectile each hit. They deal moderate damage, but nothing that can KO me if I have a decent amount of HP. Occasionally, she'll use Photon Burst, which will ALWAYS deal a critical hit and stun me(stun is better than stagger since a few quick rotations of the stick and I'm recovered). She'll use it a bit more often after her HP drops below 75%. She also may use a long multi-hit arte string, but doesn't keep you locked down as Kohak's/Amber's, so their are chances to get away.
After her HP drops below 50%, she'll go into cryas mode, using Photon Burst, Air Pressure, and Burnstrike. BS and PB can't kill by themselves, but Reala's casting speed is fast enough to chain PB after BS or AP. It can be quite difficult to land a blow, because she gets Iron Stance during casting, but like many other Tales games, the mage is completely vulnerable right after the spell is cast, though hitting her right after a spell will cause her to recover faster than her after-cast animation.
For her 1st phase, I mostly deal dmg with A-artes, and when my Accel gauge gets to MAX, I use it to deal quick dmg using her Accel MA. MAs won't do much damage because of her C.Def stat and my lower level, but every little bit helps. After Accel is cast, I use Infernal Prison in an attempt to petrify her; other cryas artes are used simply for variety. If she uses PB, if I'm far from her, I perfect dodge it; if I'm close, I dodge it by fwd-stepping, and attack her. 2nd phase, for AP and BS, I either perfect dodge the magic and try to hit her before she casts again, and/or completely avoid her cryas artes and attack up to Sudden Impact, since Pascal's early recovery before the arte strikes allows me to dodge spells at the last moment and still hit Reala during during her cast recovery animation.

Love me some Pascal, great job😆

[@MagnusZero]

Amazing fight, dude! Dealing with Reala's iron stance is a pain (same as most Zhonecage bosses, really). And outside the unlucky Photon Bursts landing hits, you handled dodging her attacks REALLY well.
I wish you the best of luck with Solomus!

[@frubam]

Indeed it is =0\. Nothing this genius can't handle =03. Yeah...that Solomus (>.>)... thanks

[@hollamonm]

Thank you for making this, it made no sense to me, but really makes me wanna play her now. Just got to adult Asbel, so it'll likely take a bit, but can't wait til I get her!

[@frubam]

Thanks for watching =03! Yeah, she's by far one of my favorite characters in the Tales series; great voice, personality, unique gameplay, and is just the pure fun of the party (^,^ ). I hope you like her just as much as I did; you'll be in for a treat.

[@megasoniczxx]

Reala has a surprisingly large amount of health. Good job handling this one, it looked like a really tough fight.

[@Starthehedgehog1393]

I'm curious as to what this song is. It suits the battle well.

[@frubam]

Both come from Tales of Destiny 2; 1st song - The Dreadnought; 2nd song - A Resolution

[@TheTalesFan]

Great battle, you hung in there and sorted her out! Even kept up the offennsive when she spams her cryas artes, which would prompt most to play defensive! Amazing job done!
Also I was wondering ehat your stats were like for this battle?

[@frubam]

Thanks =03. I had played defensively the first time, and it took 9m50s to win the battle. It's all about risk-and-reward that makes it enjoyable for me =09.
Stats are Lv.96 P.Atk = 1990, C.Atk = 1880, ACC = 1999, P.Def = 1230, C.Def = 920, EVA = 1140, minus/plus a few points. Wpn is completely maxed, armor is just a Shrine Maiden's Garb, only dualized to make a Bruserine-qualitied Rise/Reinforce armor.
