Back Slash is worth leveling up
Due to its overall usefulness, we recommend investing points into this Art as soon as possible. This is an essential Art for Shulk as a chunk of the damage he deals comes from this, and it will be a staple Art you use while playing as Shulk. It deals double damage when landed and can be used to pick off weaker monsters. Additionally, if used to initiate, it can raise party tension. What Does Tension Do? If you have extra AP and do not know where to invest it, this Art is a solid option.
