The Monado is a legendary weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade}} universe. Although categorized as a sword, it instead conceals a blade of ether that appears whenever the weapon is swung. Capable of damaging the otherwise nearly-invulnerable Mechon, the Monado was used by the Homs of Bionis to defend themselves from the invading Mechon attackers. Wielded by [[Dunban]] in the prologue of ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', the weapon is then taken up by [[Shulk]] in defense of his home, Colony 9. The Monado is capable of using a unique set of [[Monado Arts|battle arts]], with Shulk discovering more arts as he progresses through the game, as well as give its user [[Vision|premonitions predicting hazardous events]] that Shulk has to avoid. Ultimately, Shulk and his company discover the connection between the Monado and the gods of the ''Xenoblade'' world. | The Monado is a legendary weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade}} universe.

Capable of damaging the otherwise nearly-invulnerable Mechon, the Monado was used by the Homs of Bionis to defend themselves from the invading Mechon attackers. Wielded by [[Dunban]] in the prologue of ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', its use eventually renders his right arm useless; the weapon is then taken up by [[Shulk]] in defense of his home, Colony 9, where he can use it without any ill effects.

In ''Smash'', {{SSB4|Shulk}} wields the Monado as his primary weapon, and utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, and makes him the fighter with the longest disjointed weapon in the ''Smash Bros.'' series. | In ''Smash'', {{SSB4|Shulk}} wields the Monado as his primary weapon, and utilizes its [[Monado Arts]].
