Monado Buster (XC1)

Monado Buster (, Monado Buster), often shortened to just Buster (, Buster), is one of 's Monado Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves Shulk powering up the Monado for a giant overhead slash, hitting all enemies in a line and dealing double damage to Mechon. The bonus effect does not trigger against Face Mechon, even if they are d, if the Monado cannot harm them normally.

Overview
Monado Buster is Shulk's most powerful Art by a decent margin, even before the damage bonus against Mechon. However, because the damage it deals makes Shulk likely to draw a large amount of aggro from any enemies he hits, and also because it uses up his entire talent gauge, Buster can be risky to go for unless it's used as a finishing move. It is also among the most expensive Arts to upgrade, though even without upgrades it's quite powerful.
