Air Slash (XC1)

Air Slash is one of 's physical Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves him making a quick sword slice while jumping in the air. The attack inflicts Break, and on a side hit it also inflicts Slow.

Overview
Compared to Stream Edge, Air Slash can be used twice as often, does the same damage, and has a bonus effect of slowing the enemy. Its break also lasts longer, at least until both arts reach level 5, at the expense of being single-target and having no talent gauge boost. Its main draw is that simply possessing it effectively triples the amount of breaks Shulk can get, and thus makes toppling much easier.
