Air Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''{{s|wikipedia|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 second slash's animation is similar to the actual Air Slash used in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' albeit reversed, as Shulk performs an inwards slash instead of an outwards clearing slash in the actual game. | Air Slash is one of Shulk's physical arts in ''{{s|wikipedia|Xenoblade Chronicles}}'', learned at level 14.
