Battle Soul (Japanese: バトルソウル, Batoru Souru) is one of Shulk's supporting arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It sacrifices half of Shulk's current HP in order to fill his Talent Gauge by a certain amount. The amount the talent gauge is filled depends on the art's level.

Miscellaneous Info[]
- Battle Soul is based on Shulk's current HP, so lower health will mean lower sacrifice. Also because of this mechanic, Sharla's Shield Bullet will absorb part or all of the damage.
