Stan Aileron

This page covers facts and in-depth game usage of the character, Stan Aileron. For a comprehensive reference list of in-game commands, see Command List: Stan Aileron.

Stan Aileron (スタン・エルロン Sutan Eruron) is the sleepy headed main character of Tales of Destiny. He secretly boarded the flying ship called “Draconis” to get a free ride out of his village and was caught sleeping in the ship’s storage room. But when monsters attack the ship, he was able to find the Swordian Dymlos in the same storage room and escape the ship with minor injuries. This fated encounter with Dymlos marks the start of Stan’s adventure with several other people with similar sentient swords on a journey to save to the world.

In ACS, Stan is a slow but powerful character. His battle style combines his already excellent physical strength with Dymlos' ability to control fire to produce devastating fire attacks that deal damage to a large part of the battlefield. He also compensates for his slow movement speed and long after-arte delays with high HP and above average stats.

Stan is very easy to use in general but requires a bit of technique when executing long combos.

Character Facts[]

Stan has 560 HP.
He starts the battle posing with Dymlos.

Stan and Kyle both using Zankuu Tenshouken on Barbatos.
He has three different victory poses.
Lyris Aileron and Kyle Dunamis are playable characters in ACS who are related to him by blood. (His little sister and only son respectively).
Before the battle starts, a special scene and dialogue will occur if Stan is faced against either Lyris Aileron or Lion Magnus.
When using Stan’s Zankuu Tenshouken against a low HP Barbatos Goetia, Kyle Dunamis will assist him and perform the same arte on the opposite side.
Stan is one of the few ACS playable characters that can use Overlimit in mid-air.

General Tips & Usage[]

Stan has high attack power, good jumping height, high HP, average dash length and decent defense against Guard Break but has slow movement speed and a long delay after most of his artes.
Stan receives 60% more damage from Water-elemental attacks and 50% less damage from Wind-elemental attacks. (Please refer to this page for more information on ACS Elements).
Stan can perform all the basic movements in ACS.
- His Double Jump is slightly higher than his High Jump, both of which reach the top of the screen.
- His Forward Air dash sends him straight foward then downward.
- His Forward Step has the same height as his High Jump. It has an average speed.
- His Backward Leap is the same as his Forward Step, only its jump height is a little lower.
- Stan can chain his backward air dash to his forward air dash
- Stan's High Jump, Forward Step, Backward Leap and air dashes costs 1 CC when used but can still be executed even if Stan has no CC points left.
Stan has two melee ground attacks (A and B) and a basic riser attack (C then tap ↑). He also has two melee aerial attacks (A and C).
- His C aerial attack slightly tosses the enemy in mid-air and can be chained with his (A) aerial attack for a maximum of 6 hits. (Refer to Stan's Combos section for more details)
Most of Stan’s aerial artes can be canceled by doing a forward air dash just before the arte has been fully executed. This move is known as Dash Cancel (DC).
- This action costs Stan 1 CC to execute.
Stan can perform a Taunt by pressing ↓ E when he has very low TP.
- This action slightly increases his TP.
Stan can use his Overlimit in mid-air during a combo.
Stan uses a Chain Capacity (CC) Gauge, enabling him to create a stunning amount of combinations out of his many different artes as long as he has enough CC to use each arte.
- Stan's starting CC is set at 10. His CC Gauge replenishes back to 10 once a combo ends and he lands back down on the ground.
- For every hit that Stan connects to an enemy, there is a small chance his CC Gauge will temporarily increase by 1 or 2.
  - This temporary increase can only reach a maximum of 15 points (Stan's CC Gauge Limit) and expires if not used for a short period of time or after a combo ends.
- During Overlimit Lv1, Stan’s starting CC is set at 13.
- During Overlimit Lv2, Stan's CC is frozen at 13.
- Using any of Stan's Blast Calibers will automatically end the chain.
Stan's chain order consists of:
- Melee > Any Arte Type > Any Arte Type > Any Arte Type > etc.
- Some of Stan's Spells can be casted instantly if used within a combo.
- If Stan's Blast Caliburs are used, the combo ends.

Advanced Tips & Combos[]

Battle Strategy[]

General Use Combos[]

9-Hit Melee Starter 1 (v5.503 and below only)[]

Melee Attack X2 > Riser Attack > Aerial Attack A [Note 1] > Aerial Attack C [Note 2] > ( Forward Jump > Aerial Attack A > Aerial Attack C )X2 [Note 3] > [Note 4]
Quick Input Version:
A > B > C + ↑ > A > C > [ ↑ → > A > C] X2 > [Note 4]
Total number of hits varies upon luck with Bonus CC Points but usually ranges about 23 to 40+ hits. Damage is very small but if you combine it with a basic artes combo its about 1/6 or 1/7 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500).
Notes:
- Note 1: Press A just as the enemy starts to fall but before he can air-tech. This is the hardest part of the combo.
- Note 2: Press C just as Stan’s feet is the same height as the enemy’s body or head.
- Note 3: While the enemy is still in mid-air, Press and hold ↑ → and as Stan jumps forward press A immediately but don’t let go of ↑ →. When A attack connects, the enemy will start to fall straight down which the C attack should be pressed. Both A and C must connect before Stan touches the ground and while still holding ↑ →. If successfully executed, the enemy will be slightly hurled in mid-air and Stan will jump forward again (because your holding ↑→). Rinse and repeat until the combo counter reaches 9 hits.
- Note 4: Unleash your basic favorite combo here but make sure your 1^st arte lets you close in on the enemy (e.g. Souryuu Rengazan, Majin Souhazan, Rekkuzan). Luck is a big factor here as the number of hits will increase depending on the CC bonus points you receive as you attack. You can even finish this combo with a Blast Calibur or extend it further using Overlimit.
This is Stan’s basic 9-hit normal attack combo combined with his artes. It is very difficult to use.
This combo does not work on enemies with small hit boxes (in short, small characters like Presea Combatir).
Update: This combo has been nerfed to a maximum of 6-7 hits only and is more difficult to do starting v5.505b and up.

9-Hit Melee Starter 2 (v5.503 and below only)[]

Jump [Note 1] > Aerial Attack C [Note 1] > ( Forward Jump > Aerial Attack A [Note 2] > Aerial Attack C [Note 2] ) X 4 > [Note 3]
Quick Input Version:
↑ > C > ( ↑ → > A > C ) X4 > [Note 3]
Damage and hit count will vary depending on the combo used at Note 3.
- Requirements:
  - Enemy must be downed or disabled before starting the combo.
- Notes:
  - Note 1: The enemy must be disabled before jumping. Try to time your jump just right and make sure that when the enemy gets up, you can hit them with Stan's Aerial Attack C.
  - Note 2: The timing of Aerial Attack A is to press it just as Stan starts to jump and its not very difficult. On the other hand, the timing of Aerial Attack C is to press it as late as possible but not too late as Stan would already be standing on the floor by then.
  - Note 3: Unleash your basic favorite combo here but make sure your 1^st arte lets you close in on the enemy (e.g. Souryuu Rengazan, Majin Souhazan, Rekkuzan). Luck is a big factor here as the number of hits will increase depending on the CC bonus points you receive as you attack. You can even finish this combo with a Blast Calibur or extend it further using Overlimit.
Stan's bread and butter starter combo. You will find yourself using this combo a lot more than the others. Try to get the enemy downed or disabled first to set-up for this combo.
Update: This combo has been nerfed to a maximum of 6-7 hits only and is more difficult to do starting v5.505b and up.

Fire Storm Starter []

... [Note 1] > ( Fire Storm ) X ? [Note 2] > Rekkuzan [Note 3] > Melee Attack X2 > [Note 4]
Quick Input Version:
... > ( ↓ → ← C ) X? (2 or 3) > ↓←B > A > A > ↓ A > [Note 4]
Total number of hits varies upon luck with Bonus CC Points but usually ranges about 23 to 40+ hits. Damage is usually about 1/6 to 1/7 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500). This can be improved by using a Mystic arte at the end of the combo.
Notes:
- Note 1: Try using a combo here that disables your enemy and gets you at mid-range from them. Hououtenku is highly advised but other artes prove useful too.
- Note 2: Usually, you use 2 or 3 Fire Storms consecutively here. With good luck, you may cast more than that depending on the bonus CC you obtain during mid-combo. The proper timing is to press the command as soon as you see the floor around the enemy turn red.
- Note 3: Use Rekkuuzan as soon as you see the floor around the enemy turn red after casting Fire Storm. This will allow you to hit the enemy while Fire Storm attacks thus enabling Stan to recover his CC while maintaining the combo counter at the same time. You can also use other artes with short delays (e.g. Bakuenken, Majinken, Kogahazan) as an alternative for Rekkuzan but be wary of your distance with the enemy.
- Note 4: Unleash your basic favorite combo here but make sure your 1^st arte lets you close in on the enemy (e.g. Souryuu Rengazan, Majin Souhazan, Rekkuzan). Luck is a big factor here as the number of hits will increase depending on the bonus CC you receive as you attack. You can even finish this combo with a Blast Calibur or extend it further using Overlimit
This combo takes advantage of Fire Storm's long animation and Rekkuzan's (and Stan’s other similar artes) short delay after execution then continues the combo normally.
This combo is very effective against AI but has yet to be tested against real players.

Wall Pinch Counter []

Kuuga Shouryuukyaku [Note 1] > Hiou Zetsuenshou [Note 2] > Satsugeki Bukouken [Note 3]
Quick Input Version:
↓ ↓ E > ↓ → ← E or ↓ → ← F > ↓ ← → E
Total Hits = 32. Damage is 50% of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500).
- Requirements:
  - Stan must be cornered against a wall.
  - 80% TP for all the artes used.
- Notes:
  - Note 1: Use this arte when the enemy is at close range and while Stan is cornered against a wall.
  - Note 2: Use Hiou Zetsuenshou just as the last kick from Kuuga Shouryuukyaku sends the enemy downward.
  - Note 3: The timing to use Satsugeki Bukouken is just after the enemy can air-tech. Even if the enemy air-techs, he/she won't be able to block Satsugeki Bukouken.
This is a very effective combo to use against enemies who always try to use wall combos on you.

Senkoureppa Spammer Combo (v5.503 and below only)[]

Jump [Note 1] > Aerial Attack C [Note 1] > ( Forward Jump > Aerial Attack A [Note 2] > Aerial Attack C [Note 2] ) X4 > Souryuu Rengazan > ( Senkoureppa ) X??? [Note 3] > [Note 4]
Quick Input Version:
↑ > C > ( ↑ → > A > C ) X4 > ↓ ← → B > ( → ← → A ) X?? > Note 4
Total Hits = 23 at least. Damage is 1/6 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500).
- Requirements:
  - Enemy must be downed or disabled before starting the combo.
- Notes:
  - Note 1: The enemy must be disabled before jumping. Try to time your jump just right and make sure that when the enemy gets up, you can hit them with Stan's Aerial Attack C.
  - Note 2: The timing of Aerial Attack A is to press it just as Stan starts to jump and its not very difficult. On the other hand, the timing of Aerial Attack C is to press it as late as possible but not too late as Stan would already be standing on the floor by then.
  - Note 3: Keep spamming Senkoureppa until you run out of CC. This arte has a high chance of generating bonus CC, making the combo stronger. Also, the combo immediately disables the enemy after it so you could restart the combo again. AI enemies cannot escape this part of the combo using Overlimit.
  - Note 4: You can use Overlimit to extend the combo even if your not near a wall. Just make sure to release it when the enemy is still in mid-air. You can also use a Blast Calibur to end this combo for maximum damage.
This is a practical application of Stan's 9-Hit Starter Combo 2 + Artes. Very easy to use and has high power. Use this combo as Stan's Bread and Butter.
Update: This combo has been nerfed and does not work anymore starting v5.505b and up.

  - Enemy must be downed or disabled before starting the combo.
  - Enemy must be cornered against a wall.
- Notes:
  - Note 1: The enemy must be disabled before jumping. Try to time your jump just right and make sure that when the enemy gets up, you can hit them with Stan's Aerial Attack C. Using Fire Wall or Maou Engekiha as a starter works really well with this combo due to their faster delay recovery as compared to Stan's other disabling artes.
  - Note 2: The timing of Aerial Attack A is to press it just as Stan starts to jump and its not very difficult. On the other hand, the timing of Aerial Attack C is to press it as late as possible but not too late as Stan would already be standing on the floor by then.
  - Note 3: The Aerial Attack C should be executed when Stan is at the half of his jump height. The second one should be connected as soon as possible by spamming the command button.
  - Note 4: Keep spamming Senkoureppa until you run out of CC. This arte has a high chance of generating bonus CC, making the combo stronger. Also, the combo immediately disables the enemy after it so you could restart the combo again. AI enemies cannot escape this part of the combo using Overlimit.
  - Note 5: You can use Overlimit to extend the combo further. You can also use a Blast Calibur to end this combo for maximum damage.
Stan's wall combo. Decent damage and easy to use. This is more powerful than Stan's Senkoureppa Spammer Combo.
Update: This combo has been nerfed and may not work just like the original starting v5.505b and up.

Shouourekka Loop []

( Souryuu Rengazan [Note 1] > Senkuuretsuha [Note 2]> Shouourekka [Note 3] ) X As many as your TP allows you to [Note 4]
Quick Input Version:
( ↓ ← → B > ↓ ← A > → ← → D ) X Until TP is 0
Total maximum hits of this combo has yet to be determined due to my inability to go beyond the 6th Shouourekka. Minarie 06:34, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
Damage of this combo is about 1/7 or 1/8 of Kakashi Scarecrow's HP (500) for every Shouourekka used with diminishing returns as the combo counter increases. On the 6th loop, the damage is about 60% of Kakashi's HP.
- Requirements:
  - Stan must be at Low HP (140 and below).
    
    Tales of ACS v5.503 Stahn Aileron Shouourekka Loop Combo
    
    A demonstration of Stan's Shouourekka Loop Combo.
  - Enemy must not be against a wall.
  - TP (This combo consumes a net TP of atleast 3-5% per Shouourekka used).
- Notes:
  - Note 1: Wait for your CC to recover before using this arte again. If this is your 1st time in using this arte, don't use it at point-blank range.
  - Note 2: The timing here is very difficult to achieve. During Souryuu Rengazan, watch Stan's sword very carefully and use Senkuuretsuha depending on which loop you are:
    - 1st & 2nd: After raising his sword from the 4th hit of Souryuu Rengazan but before Stan holds his sword back.
    - 3rd: Simultaneous with Stan, hitting the enemy with his 4th slash.
    - 4th - 6th: Unknown.
  - Note 3: You will notice that once the enemy touches the ground after Senkuuretsuha, he/she will be slightly pushed away from Stan. Use Shouourekka on that part and try to delay the use as much as possible but not too much as it won't hit the enemy.
  - Note 4: You can repeat this combo for as long as you have enough TP but this is not advised as this combo's timing changes for every loop. For a practical application of this combo, just use 2 loops (2nd Shouourekka) and finish it a Senkuuretsuha spam then a mystic arte.
Stan's semi-infinite combo . Very difficult to use so it's advised to use the loop only once or twice.
You can only use this combo while Stan has low HP or is in Overlimit.
Changes in the enemy hitbox sizes can also affect the timing needed for this combo. It is easier to use this combo on enemies with large hitboxes.
Don't worry if you make a mistake since Shouourekka will always disable the enemy, giving you the chance to use Stan's Senkuuretsuha Spammer Combo.
