To activate an Art, the special button must not be pressed for a few frames until the colored aura appears on Shulk. While scrolling through the Arts, he will be unable to perform any other special moves until one is activated, although Shulk can still move, dodge and attack normally. In ''Ultimate'', it can also be "quick-selected" by holding down the special button, holding the directional stick mapped to the Art, then releasing the special key. The "quick select" wheel is mapped to the following: up for Smash, upper left for Jump, lower left for Speed, upper right for Buster, and lower right for Shield. If Shulk activates an Art while staying still, he poses and announces the activated Art's name upon activation.

In ''SSB4'', each Art lasts for 15 seconds before stats return to normal. In ''Ultimate'', all Arts last for less time, with Buster lasting for 10 seconds, Speed and Smash lasting for 8 seconds, and Jump and Shield lasting for only 6 seconds. The Arts can be cancelled by pressing the special button three times in succession, or, in ''SSB4'', by holding down the special button for about one full second. Additionally, they will be canceled instantly when the user is hit by the initial rush of [[All-Out Attack]].  In ''SSB4'', once an Art activates or is canceled early, it cannot be activated again until 10 seconds have passed. In ''Ultimate'', each Art has its own cooldown time, with Jump and Shield taking 18 seconds, Speed and Smash taking 16 seconds, and Buster taking 14 seconds. Before then, its corresponding kanji will be grayed out when selecting another Art. The cooldown on all Monado Arts resets when Shulk is [[KO|knocked out]]. No two Monado Arts can run at the same time; if one is active, and a different Art is chosen, the previous Art is overwritten and enters cooldown.

Each Monado Art also affects Shulk's attacking power with battering items like the [[Beam Sword]] (e.g. Smash reduces hitlag and damage while increasing knockback). However, they do not affect firing weapons like the [[Ray Gun]] or thrown items such as the [[Capsule]].
