Shulk announces "Air Slash!" and propels himself into the air with a quick vertical slash in a spiraling motion. This first hit deals [[set knockback]]. By pressing the special attack button again at the end of the move, he can follow up with a second slash (an outward right-handed clearing slash) which knocks opponents away and gives Shulk a small additional amount of height. The move works similarly to [[Marth]] and [[Lucina]]'s [[Dolphin Slash]], except that it carries all the knockback on the final hit instead of at the beginning, and with the ability to hit twice. It is also slower and possesses a wider range along with variable damage and KO potential depending on Shulk's currently active [[Monado Art]]. | Shulk announces "Air Slash!" and propels himself into the air with a quick vertical slash in a spiraling motion.

It should be noted that the first slash can only snap onto ledges if the player performs the second slash immediately when Shulk reaches a ledge; if not, Shulk will overshoot and become vulnerable to attacks. Additionally, the move has a larger edge sweetspot if Shulk faces towards it, making it risky to attempt grabbing a ledge in the opposite direction. | It should be noted that the first slash can only snap onto ledges if the player performs the second slash immediately when Shulk reaches a ledge; if not, Shulk will overshoot and become vulnerable to attacks.

Air Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''{{s| | Air Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''{{s|xsw|Xenoblade Chronicles}}'', learned at level 14. The art sees Shulk briefly jump into the air and unleash a sword strike. The move having two hits may be a subtle reference to the effect of Air Slash in said game, as it has the ability to inflict two status effects on the enemy: Break (making opponents vulnerable to Topple, which causes them to fall onto the ground momentarily) and Slow (which decreases movement and auto-attack speed) if the attack hits the enemy's side (as opposed to the front or back). The pink color of the Monado's beam is a reference to how pink is used to identify Break arts in the menus. Interestingly, the original move only hits once, with the second hit being added exclusively for the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, while the first hit's animation is actually more similar to the slash Shulk does when using {{iw|xsw|Monado Purge|XC1}}, as he spins around entirely during the move. The version in ''Smash'' also causes Shulk to gain much more vertical height, as the original move's jump was purely for aesthetic reasons. | ||
