[[File:Air_Slash_Strike_SSB4.jpeg|thumb|The second slash.]]
Shulk announces "Air Slash!" and propels himself into the air with a quick vertical slash. By pressing the special attack button at the end of the move, he can follow up with a second slash (an outward left-handed clearing slash), like in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', which knocks opponents away and gives Shulk a small additional amount of vertical height. It works in a similar vein to [[Marth]] and [[Lucina]]'s [[Dolphin Slash]], except with the ability to hit twice and being slower, possessing a wider range along with variable damage and KO potential depending on Shulk's currently active [[Monado Art]]. It can also be reversed for a '''Reverse Air Slash''', though the move does not have any noticeable difference. The attack does 11-12% damage with mediocre knockback without any arts, while doing 16% in Buster and having good KO potential in Smash mode.
