If successful, the screen fades to white and a cinematic with the Vision effect around the screen appears as Shulk summons [[Dunban]], [[Riki]] and (in ''Ultimate'') [[Fiora|Mecha-Fiora]] to assist him. The party proceeds to attack trapped opponents before Shulk sends them flying with a charged Monado slash. | ||
The Final Smash deals varying damage depending on which of Shulk's [[Monado Arts]] is set - overall, Buster deals the most damage and the lowest knockback, while Smash deals the best knockback but little damage (41%-55% for Buster and 15%-20% for Speed, Shield and Smash). The initial strike from the blinding light deals 3% damage (4% for Buster and 1% for Speed, Shield and Smash) and the attack deals 2% for each consecutive strikes (3% for Buster and 1% for Speed, Shield and Smash). The final Monado slash will deal 17% damage (23% for Buster and 9% for Speed, Shield and Smash), launching the target(s) horizontally. It is capable of KOing opponents at around 40% without any active Arts (20% for Smash, over 80% for Buster). The selected Monado Art, however, cannot be changed after the Smash Ball is acquired since pressing the special move button will start the Final Smash instead. | The Final Smash deals varying damage depending on which of Shulk's [[Monado Arts]] is set - overall, Buster deals the most damage and the lowest knockback, while Smash deals the best knockback but little damage (41%-55% for Buster and 15%-20% for Speed, Shield and Smash).

;Chain Attack | |||
''In Xenoblade Chronicles, building up the party's team spirit would let them use a chain attack, using multiple Arts in a row to deal massive damage. In this game, Shulk's Final Smash calls party members Dunban and Riki to help obliterate an unlucky target... or multiple targets if you catch more than one in the circle of light!'' | |||

All phrases spoken by Dunban and Riki during Shulk's Chain Attack in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' are directly taken from ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. Notably, "On my mark!" is what Dunban can say when a Chain Attack is initiated by him in said game. As part of this Chain Attack, Riki uses his {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Lurgy}} Art, while Dunban performs two slashes in a similar manner to {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Worldly Slash}}, a physical art that involves a left-handed upward and downward slash combo. | All phrases spoken by Dunban and Riki during Shulk's Chain Attack in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' are directly taken from ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.

*Despite the attack being initiated by Shulk, it is Riki who attacks first during the Final Smash. In ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', the party leader is always the first to attack during chain attacks and the fact that Shulk performs the last attack would imply he is actually the last one in the party, with Riki as the leader and Dunban as the second party member. | *Despite the attack being initiated by Shulk, it is Riki who attacks first during the Final Smash.
