Monado Speed is one of Shulk's Monado arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. The colour of the blade turns dark blue upon activation. Ether particles are generated through the blade and then transferred to the recipient. This increases the recipient's physical evade rate significantly, allowing the recipient to dodge the enemy's physical attacks at a high rate.
The maximum evade rate is 95% for enemy physical Auto-Attacks; 90% for enemy's physical arts.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed[]
In Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Monado Speed is one of the arts used by Alpha. When used, it grants Alpha the Nullify Most Attacks buff. Additionally, Alpha's movements when using the art are very similar to Shulk's when using Speed in Xenoblade Chronicles.
In the Super Smash Bros. series[]
Monado Speed appears as one of the five buffs Shulk can give to himself by using Monado Arts in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, although it is quite different in this series. It boosts Shulk's ground speed, but reduces his jump height and he deals less damage. Shulk's feet will also glow blue with this art, the same color the Monado's light blade becomes when activating Speed in the original game.
