His throws open up highly-damaging combo opportunities (especially on heavyweights), and the increase in damage output also makes his attacks deal increased shieldstun and shield damage, making him less prone to shield grabs and allows him to more easily break shields. A notable shield break combo is a MALLC back air into reversed forward smash. However, his KO power becomes extremely low, and this Art makes Shulk incredibly vulnerable to damage, which can easily send his percentage up significantly if he is careless, discouraging reckless use. In ''Ultimate'', this Art lasts for 10 seconds with a cooldown time of 14 seconds, giving it both the longest duration and shortest cooldown time of all five Arts.||[[File:ShulkBusterActivationPose.JPG|200px]]<br><center>Holds the Monado in front of him, much like his down taunt</center> | |<big>{{ja|斬|Zan; lit.

For example, his smash attacks can KO as early as 70% even when uncharged. Shulk's down throw also becomes the strongest down throw in ''Smash 4'', while in ''Ultimate'', his forward throw and back throw become one of the strongest.Smash also allows Shulk to mess up certain throw combos at lower percents (e.g. Sheik and {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}) by launching him slightly further than normal. However, due to the reduced damage, [[shieldstun]] and [[hitlag]] are reduced as well, and thus makes all of his attacks even more punishable on shield, while Shulk's survivability becomes as low as {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s for the Art's duration. In ''Ultimate'', this Art lasts for 8 seconds with a cooldown time of 16 seconds.||[[File:ShulkSmashActivationPose.JPG|200px]]<br><center>Points the Monado to the sky</center> | |<big>{{ja|撃|Geki; lit.
