Monado Purge (Japanese: モナドブレイカー, Monadobureikā, Monado Breaker) is one of Shulk's Monado arts in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. The colour of the blade turns light green upon activation. Ether particles are charged onto the blade, allowing Shulk to send a wave of Ether particles to the enemy from afar. This art will inflict the enemy with Aura Seal, which removes any active auras and temporarily blocks the enemy's spike and aura activation abilities. It also inflicts Damage which is calculated based on Shulk's current Ether strength and the art's multiplier. Shulk learns this art during the confrontation with the Telethia at the Lakeside in Makna Forest.

Used by Alpha[]
Alpha uses Monado Purge during the second phase of the final battle. He will always use it whenever A's Vision is active. However, he will not use it if he is currently using the Vision Mode Art, which will always be followed by either Flawed Monado Buster or Perfect Monado Buster. When Alpha uses Monado Purge, it will force the vision to immediately end, referencing Purge's ability to seal auras in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Shulk's Neutral Special, Monado Arts, allows him to use an Art called "Jump". This increases Shulk's jump heights, fall speed, air speed, and the height of Air Slash, but increases the damage he receives. Monado Jump is unique to Super Smash Bros., but appears to be based on Monado Purge. Shulk jumps into the air when using Purge in Xenoblade Chronicles, hence Jump's improved jumping ability, and the two Arts use an identical shade of green.
An advanced combo in Super Smash Bros., making use of Monado Jump, has been dubbed "Monado Purge" by players. After using an up throw with Monado Jump active, Shulk can jump high enough to force the opponent into a 50-50 situation using his up aerial. With the opponent at around 60-120% (depending on certain factors), this combo will KO if successful.
Trivia[]
- The symbol that appears on the Monado when Monado Purge is activated is the kanji "破", which means destroy/break/rend. In the Japanese version, this art is described as a Monado's shock wave destroying/breaking the aura (of the enemy).
- In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the Monado Purge Symbol is displayed on the Monado, when equipped as a Swordfighter weapon skin, when using Sword Strike.
- The Monado Purge Symbol is also used as the art icon for Noah's Tachyon Slash art.
- While Monado Purge is not a usable art in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Shulk uses Purge during his Chain Art.
