Worldly Slash

Worldly Slash (, Heavens and Earth Sword) is one of 's physical s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is a two-hit combo that lowers the target's physical defence, and if used in a Gale Slash combo, it also lowers strength.

Overview
Worldly Slash is not a bad art by itself; any type of Dunban likes the opportunity to deal more damage. But the Gale Slash combo is much more worth it, hurting the enemy's attacks as well, which greatly benefits when Dunban fails to dodge. As a result, Worldly Slash is probably the "default" move to combo with Gale Slash: Electric Gutbuster needs the enemy to not resist Break, while Tempest Kick has no bonus effect if the enemy has no buffs, whereas this art has two potential debuffs which are unlikely to both be resisted.
