Monado Speed (XC1)

Monado Speed (, Monado Speed), often shortened to just Speed (, Shield), is one of 's Monado Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It gives one party member a large amount of evasion, making them much more likely to dodge physical attacks.

Overview
The main purpose of Monado Speed is to counter visions of physical Arts, as the evasion boost almost always guarantees that physical attacks of any kind will miss. However, it is harder to use effectively than Monado Shield because it doesn't last as long and each use of Speed only affects one party member (so if the aggro changes it may be wasted). Speed can also be used in more general situations to protect someone who's suddenly gained a lot of aggro, giving the tank a chance to take the aggro back.

Additional data
The exact mechanics of the Speed buff are unproven. Multiple websites and wikis claim it is a +190% boost to evasion.
