The Shield, Speed, and Buster arts are three of the arts that are available in ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. Shulk would learn each art automatically as the story progresses. Shield created a barrier around the target that can block physical attacks as long as the strength of the shield is at least that of the incoming attack. Speed increases the target's agility, allowing him or her to dodge attacks more easily. Buster is a powerful slash attack that extends the beam produced by the Monado as well as the damage caused by the slash, and it deals extra damage to Mechon. | The Shield, Speed, and Buster arts are three of the arts that are available in ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.
