Back Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' | Back Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', and is one of the first arts in his arsenal when he is introduced. It is Shulk's main physical art, and it does the most damage out of all the physical arts in his complete moveset. Despite doing high damage, the move deals double damage from behind, and its low cooldown makes it one of the most damaging arts Shulk has; this is hampered by needing to be behind the opponent, meaning other party members have to distract enemies with aggro (such as Reyn, who's main skill increases aggro towards himself). Otherwise, this attack deals standard damage if hit anywhere else, although the damage is still higher than an auto-attack. The difficulty of landing the move in ''SSB4'' mirrors this behavior, as opponents need to be caught offguard for a Back Slash to land and rewards Shulk for hitting backs with either increased damage (Buster) or a reliable KO move (Smash). The red color of the Monado's beam is a reference to the red which identifies physical arts in the menus. | ||
