Monado Cyclone is one of Shulk's Monado arts in 异度神剑. The colour of the blade turns into a combination of white and gold. 以太 particles are concentrated into the Monado, allowing Shulk to unleash a column of powerful 以太 from the ground. 敌人 within the area effect will be damaged by the 以太. Furthermore, any 敌人 that are inflicted with Break will be Toppled.
Monado Cyclone is one of the most situational Topple-inflicting arts in the game. Being a Monado art, Shulk only has access to it when his Talent Gauge is at max. It also depletes 100% of the Talent Gauge, and there may be 其它 Monado Arts better-suited for certain situations. However, on the plus side, not only does this attack do serious damage, but it also allows Shulk to perform a Break + 倒地 + Daze combo completely by himself, with 流水之刃/空斩, Monado Cyclone, and Shaker Edge.
