Tales of Symphonia/Titles

Titles are used in Tales of Symphonia to modify the characters stats as they level up. When placing a title on a character, it has no immediate effect. Once the character levels up, the title currently on him or her will boost certain stats. For instance, Lloyd's Drifting Swordsman title will cause a +1 HP, +2 STR, +2 DEF increase in stats on top of the standard increase upon level. Changing titles does not retroactively increase or decrease stats, however, it will only affect future levels.

Titles marked with an asterisk(*) indicate that it changes the characters costume.

This is a list of the titles that each character may acquire by default or by satisfying certain criteria throughout the game.
