Shield Bash (XC1)

Shield Bash (, Shield Bash) is one of 's physical s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is a shield bash that s the enemy.

Overview
Compared to 's, Shield Bash has a faster cooldown, hits much faster, has some , is cheaper to upgrade, and since Reyn is probably the one to have done the he can always be ready for it. It does less (even taking into account Reyn's greater ), but this is not really a concern compared to the rest of its advantages.

In the Definitive Edition, Shield Bash is bugged so that its cooldown is always as if it were level 10, no matter what level it actually is. It appears the intent was to lock its cooldown at level 10 when the art is at level 11 or 12 from the Definitive Edition's new master artbooks, in order to prevent Reyn from being able to use a Daze Plus to keep an enemy stunned permanently.
