Physical Icon IS Havoc or Battle Arts (戦技) is a physical attack element in the early Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games. It consists primarily of attacks using weapons natural to a demon's body, such as claws or fangs. Rush / Charge (突撃), Technique / Dex (技), and Needle (針) (Shin Megami Tensei only) were initially separate Elements until being merged together in Persona 2 as Havoc.
