Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)

[Scythiroth]

Leveling seems to be pretty easy once you start full bursting higher level enemies. Can sometimes hit what seems to be the exp cap of 99,999 from an enemy lol. But that Rare Blade identification rate just feels so low once you're nearing the end.

[Tyrath]

So I've had shit luck with Blades since I started trying to get them on the 5th party member. Like think countless commons, 30 rare crystals and 3 legendarys with only 1 blade. I finally said fuck it and used my last Rare core on Rex. 1/1 rare blade lol


8 left to go!

[Corrderio]

So I just unlocked KOS-MOS..... on my tank. FML...

[Tyrath]

Thats what Overdrive Protocols are for.

Also I hate you.

Sadly they're rare AF. I got 1 or 2, but very paranoid.

Yeah but if you never use them whats the point? KOS-MOS would be my #1 pick to move with them.

[Corrderio]

Fair point I suppose. Will have to use it after she gets back from her Merc mission.

Assuming she already hasn't.

[Kachiko]

Lulz...I pulled Ursala on Zeke; time to get to grinding her merc missions, though I'm almost merc level four, and I've just got to Indol. I suppose I've got a lot of game left to play, so, better now then later. Is the max mercenary level 5, and is that when you get your third team?

*edit*
Bleh... only three rares in that batch of 100, so that puts me at pulling 8 total, with two healers and a tank on Zeke now. >_> Think I've only pulled one attacker so far.

[Tyrath]

You get third team before max merc level.

You can farm them once you start getting 4 star common blades at least.

Also, finally finished my Blade collection. I need to farm a bunch of overdrives to fix the characters they are on though lol.

How rare are four star blades though? I'm guessing legendary cores spawn them the most often, as I haven't seen one in about 150 common cores; best was a 3 blade, but between buying affinity, via food, and then maxing them, seems like a long grind.

[Scythiroth]

They seem to be a rare chance from rare cores and didn't seem too rare from legendary cores (if I had to guess, maybe like 10-20%?). But yeah, I never saw one from common cores.

edit: I think I have around 10-15 4 star commons at the moment just from trying to finish off the rare blades I was missing.

[Ratatapa]

So dumb questions because i like them

1) Now that i got 4 permanat char, do bench characters get WP and EXP?
2) For exemple an affinity on mythra that says kill this many monsters, will i still get points if it<s Pyra that's out? (I doubt it)

[Kirin]

I think all characters, benched or otherwise, receive the same exp. WP and blade progress I am not so sure about, but would wager it needs to be one of the 9 active blades to count.

Where is this "right" door in the abandoned factory for chapter 4? I've combed that place like 5 times and can't find it.

What right door?

[tenkiki]

I'm not sure which door you're referring to, but what I did was find a playthrough of the chapter on youtube to find correct paths since some are quite bullshit. Also, one of the later chapters had a tutorial at the start of the battle, but I mashed through the first part of it to immediately engage the boss and had to rewatch it.

Having just beat the game though, it was great. I would place it among my favorite rpgs of all time as the battle system, music, and story were some of the best I've seen. Wish I had gotten KOS-MOS, but Mythra is pretty OP for self-light blade combos, so not that miffed about it.

[Ratatapa]

I have no issue at all during Chapter 4 but w/e i guess `

Is it when you're trying to find those 3 lizardmen who locked the main gate?

[Tyrath]

The 5000 fan requirement for Ursula's final affinity thing is completely ridiculous. I've been doing it forever and I still have <2000.

So for #1 yes for both, Tora is bench and he gets EXP and point sfor Poppi weapons
2) also yes, I killed 5 mobs while Pyra was out and Mythra learned the skill (but of course the skill that says 'use this ability a number of time' will have to be done with mythra
