Monado Purge (XC1)

Monado Purge (, Monado Breaker), often shortened to just Purge (, Breaker), is one of 's Monado Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves Shulk firing a green crescent of energy at the target, which clears its active auras and inflicts Aura Seal so it cannot quickly create another. It also neutralizes abilities for the duration and deals ether damage.

Overview
Monado Purge doesn't really have much use in battles where enemies do not have auras or spikes, unless Shulk really desperately needs to throw out an ether attack for some reason. But when up against a foe with a powerful aura or a deadly spike, Shulk is heavily incentivised to save his talent gauge to keep using this art and ensure that the troublesome issue is always pinned down. This is especially the case against Telethia, where if he does not build his talent gauge in time, he has no choice but to use Battle Soul (as he can no longer land any hits to build gauge with) or to flee the battle entirely.
