Today: We're taking out first dip into battle arts. Shulk helpfully has his easily split into two groups, and we start with the Monado. A brief summary of each follows, in case you forgot.

Monado Enchant- Enables all party members to damage Mechon.
Monado Buster- Attacks enemies in a straight line, does lots of damage to Mechon.
Monado Shield- Grants a shield to each party member which completely blocks any single enemy Talent Art that is not above the current Shield level.
Monado Speed- Greatly boosts Evade for a single party member.
Monado Purge- Removes a single enemy's auras and spikes, and stops said enemy from activating new ones for a short while.
Monado Cyclone- Damages and Topples nearby enemies.
Monado Eater- Removes buffs of enemies in front of Shulk, and inflicts Bleed on them.
Monado Armour- Temporarily decreases all damage to the party by up to 75%.

Tomorrow: Best Wielder of the Monado.

I'm shocked Buster isn't running away with it

Smash Bros. Jump and Smash in shambles

alsoalso another Monado poll could simply be best Monado (initial, unleashed, replicas, meyneth's, true)

Shield is useful but honestly Armour was ridiculously OP when it came to fighting the superbosses. A 75% reduction to all damage is really good!

I don't know if I would call Purge the most useful overall but I really do not like spikes (especially ones with statuses attached) so I voted for it

This is one where I'd be better served voting after replaying to refresh my memory, but I think during my postgame blitz I had a lot of fun with Cyclone.

It's definitely not the "best" in terms of general usefulness but yeah.

Cyclone's gimmick of giving Shulk a Break+Topple+Daze is cool, but I never really used it.
