Monado

The Monado is a mythical sword in Xenoblade Chronicles, being a central item in the plot of the story. It is said to be the weapon used by Bionis in its war with Mechonis. It has since appeared in other games and media.
==Powers and Abilities==
The Monado is a powerful energy blade that can manipulate the ether in the air around in it. It is able to change the future because of this, as well as change the nature of the world as well. At the beginning of the game, the Monado is unable to harm anyone born from Bionis, which is where the sword originates from. Later in the game, this limit is surpassed and even allows Shulk to become essentially a god and reshape the entire universe.
Additionally, the Monado also allows it's wielder to have the power of visionary foresight, capable of seeing future events that they can prevent from occurring. This is due to the predictable nature of ether, of which the world of Xenoblade consists of. Seers in the Xenoblade universe only need to have touched the Monado to receive this power.
A downside to the Monado is that it attracts creatures known as Telethia. It can also be countered with opposing particles to that of the Monado.
==Game Appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Discord===
The Monado appears as Shulk's primary weapon in Super Smash Bros. Discord, which is utilized for his entire moveset. Another Monado, a Monado with a white coloration, also appears as Alvis' weapon, also making up the basis of his entire moveset. 
==Monado Arts==
TBA
==Other Monados==
===Monado II===
The Monado II is a upgraded version of the Monado that allows Shulk to harm those from Bionis, a limit that was formerly imposed on him before Zanza unlocked it's potential. It's beam also becomes much longer. 
===Monado III===
The Monado III, also known as the True Monado, is the final presumed form of the Monado, which allows Shulk to defeat gods. Unlike other Monados, the True Monado does not utilize a light beam but instead glow and become transparent. It is easily the most powerful Monado, able to max out damage and critical rates.
===Replica Monados===
TBA
===White Monado===
The White Monado is a separate Monado that used by Alvis. This non-canon Monado appears as part of Alvis' moveset in Super Smash Bros. Discord. This Monado is based off the Monado that appears on the cover of Xenoblade: The Secret File. This Monado is capable of pulling off everything Shulk's Monado was able to, although in Smash it differs from Shulk's moveset in that the Monado Arts are in a different order and Monado Eater is replaced with Monado Purge, that transforms some of Alvis' moves into projectile attacks.
