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 other 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 + Topple + Daze combo completely by himself, with Stream Edge/Air Slash, Monado Cyclone, and Shaker Edge.
