Chain Attack is Shulk's Final Smash. A flash of light will appear in front of Shulk, sending everyone in it to another area. Shulk then calls on Dunban and Riki, where they will simulaneously attack the opponents. After a number of attacks, Shulk will deal a finishing blow with the Monado. Everyone will return to the stage, while those caught in the attack will recieve heavy knockback.
Origin
In Xenoblade Chronicles, a Chain Attack could be performed on an enemy in which the three characters would take turns performing a special attack on the opponent. Three party members can be playable at a time, and Dunban and Riki were the ones chosen for Smash.
Trophy Description
In Xenoblade Chronicles, building up the party's team spirit would let them unleash a chain attack, using multiple Arts in a row to deal massive damage. In this game, Shulk's Final Smash calls party members Dunban and Riki to help obliterate an unlucky target...or multiple tagets if you catch more than one in the circle of light!
