Metal Blast (XC1)

Metal Blast is one of 's physical Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It hits all enemies in a line to inflict Break, and has a +25% critical hit rate against flying enemies.

Characteristics
In the early game where there is no choice of party, Shulk's two break arts are generally enough for Reyn's one topple art, and Metal Blast is superfluous. Even later on, it has the longest cooldown of all break arts by a wide margin, in addition to one of the weakest cooldown upgrades in the game. The move's true strength is in hitting many enemies at once, as until level 30 it is Sharla's only physical art (and only physical rifle art until level 42).
