Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)

Tiger Tiger is not hard, it<s just me bad at it

I didn't know you could attack in the game, which was making it artificially hard on myself. Regardless, have another tank character so RIP Tora.

Blade Talk:

Spoiler: show

Also, i'm probably going to leave Nia as a driver because I had that spoiled for me (even though it was a pretty obvious guess based on how you met her). Is she just THAT much better as a blade?

Spoiler: show

I mean Nia is the only one who can become Pure Healer as a Driver so I would always leave her as a Driver in that respect.

Tora has the advantage of having any element loadout you desire and can be an evade or meat shield tank depending on how you outfit Poppi. 2nd Tank character is stuck with an element Rex has by default so it's a wasted slot. Tora also has better Driver Combo capabilities with Topple, Launch, and Smash compared to pretty much just Break and Topple with 4th. Plus his gimmick is a literal Harem Army of Maid Robots, how can you not love that?

That's literally why.

Also hate being stuck with pre-set blades.

Tyrath gets me

[Voyage1970]

To each there own I suppose. Honestly for being pre-set the Poppi trio have a pretty good selection of Arts and Passives and I prefer unique weapons over a Rare Blade with a generic one. I do like the 4th character over Tora though, I just like the Poppis more.

[Kirin]

Poppi is awesome, and I don't have anything against Tora.

However,

tsundere female military commander

beats out robot maid trope all day err day.

Even then, it seems like Tora is the face tank like Reyn and Number 4 is the evade tank like Dunban. Will probably want to switch them up at certain points for certain fights.

[Krandor]

You can make Poppi an evasion tank too tho.

Outside of Rex (since he can equip 4 blades at once plus eventually having access to all of them), Tora is far and away the best character with how customizable all his shit is.

At least once you unlock his 3rd Blade. Up until that point #4 is a better choice simply for more elemental variety.

How did you get to the hidden treasure area in Mor whatchamacallit? I can't find a pathway down there.

1 Lower the tides
2) telport to the city and turn around
3) Turn right just after going out of the city
4) take the stairs down + go on the bridge
5) at the middle of the bridge if you turn your camera you'll see a little rock slate that you can jump down on
6) Junp down for like 2-3 rock slate
7) enter the tunnel that will bring you to the island

Spoiler: show

Teleport to the first waypoint in the city, go NE to the stairway under the bridge.

Look for the assorted flat platforms that you can jump down to, which eventually leads you to a cave. If you miss spotting the cave, when you land in the area right below it you can see the cave on the minimap.

[Corrderio]

Thanks. I thought I'd unlock more gates/etc. during the chapter 4 story buuuuuut.... nope.

[Ratatapa]

So in chapter 4, I have a story quest that have 2steps

Fix the barrels
Do a Merc mission

Do I really need to do both? Cuz for #1 I’m at nopon wisdom2and 6/40for wisdom 3

Learning Stage 1 doesn't take too much time, and when you do No Damage, All Treasure, and All Ether, you get 1.7K pure ether and can break down whatever you don't need/duplicates of the items you get, so it's really more like 2K. Occasionally get core/rare crystals too. Loaded up QT and Normal Poppi last night, and looking forward to customizing them later too.

If they don't let you remap the X and + button real soon, I'ma have to club a baby seal. Since quick travel is in the main menu anyways, and most games put the menu button as the top one, in this configuration, I'm constantly opening and exiting the stupid map when I want to get to anything else.

It's one or the either. I say just do the merc mission and kill time doing something else.

Remember where those barrels are though or you'll have a "fun" time trying to find the factory like Kaslo and me did.

Yeah cuz finding 40nopons will be bleh

Oh, also, forgot to post this, but since it's going to be helpful farming legendary core crystals, as well as getting a ton of stuff through normal gameplay:

• Find high level unique monster (I've seen it work with monsters as low as 60-ish, but the higher they are the higher the ratio of legendary to rare cores) But you want to be able to survive a while.
• Set up your AI party members to spam Break as often as possible.
• Set up your front man to have Topple, Launch, and Smash. (This is obtainable on Rex through Pyra, a Greataxe, and that certain blade you get in Ch 4) and with an Overclocking Bangle to speedup blade switches.
• Every time your party inflicts break, go through the rest of the Topple -> launch -> smash. Don't bother with other arts so that the Blade Switch cooldown can get reduced to a few seconds by the Overclocking Bangle.
• Profit as cores come raining from the sky (almost) every time it hits the ground.

This is a tyrant found in Uraya (Head -> Cataracts of Rujah), rather bulky, but doesn't do much damage, but I'm sure it works on others too. Should speed up farming blades rather quickly.

I really hope I have no Blades left to get by the time I'm lvl 90.
