Tales of Symphonia Remastered has many ways to efficiently use your party, enabling you to perform unique and even secret Tech and Artes that can deal devastating amounts of damage to your target. Compound Special Attacks are one of many ways to do just that, as they allow you to combine two characters' Tech to form a significantly more powerful one.

There are many Compound Special Attacks present in Tales of Symphonia, allowing you to unleash tremendously potent attacks on your enemy with just about any pairing of characters. Furthermore, this mechanic takes full advantage of the game's Unison Attacks system, making it relatively easy to perform during every encounter.

Compound Special Artes Overview

As mentioned above, Compound Special Attacks are powerful actions you can carry out during combat encounters by combining Tech from two characters via the Unison Attack system. First, if you do not yet have access to Unison Attacks, you must proceed to the point in the story where you exit Ossa's Trail roughly ten hours into your journey.

Once you have access to Unison Attacks, you can finally begin pairing together Tech to form Compound Special Attacks. To do this, open the Menu and navigate to the U. Attack section. When there, you will see every available character in your party, along with a list of D-Pad inputs to assign Tech to. This is where your Compound Special Attacks come into play.

How To Perform Compound Special Attacks

To carry out Compound Special Attacks, you must assign specific Tech to your party members that will synergize with one another to create these actions. For example, Lloyd's "Sword Rain: Alpha" and Colette's "Hammer Rain" combine to create Stardust Rain, so you will assign Sword Rain: Alpha to Lloyd's Right D-Pad and Hammer Rain to Colette's Right D-Pad to make things easy to remember and execute during combat.

You will also see a new Unison Gaugeabove your party members' portraits during encounters. You cannot perform Unison Attacks or Compound Special Attacks until this meter is filled. When active, click in the Right Analog Stick, then press whichever D-Pad direction you assigned to the Tech needed for your new Compound Special Attack.

Now that you know how to perform Compound Special Attacks, it's time to learn the Tech combinations. While there are lots of Compound Special Attacks to learn, it's not nearly as bad as you might assume. You can find the complete list of Compound Special Attacks and how to do them in the table below!
