Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)

[Kirin]

Nah. I can MGS the area just fine. It is the quest mobs (the trio of apes) that are hitting both Morag and Tora for like 80% of their health despite being 8 levels higher.

[Ratatapa]

Fuck I haven’t got any RNG rare blades in years

[Krandor]

Since the game has only been out about a month I feel like that's an exaggeration.

Of course it is lol

[Tyrath]

I know the feel though. Last 4 have been elusive as fuck.

I need like 9?

[Tyrath]

3 left now, still no KOS-MOS.

Edit: make that 2.

[Kachiko]

Yeah, the Ursula slog is just terrible. You need 99 of each stamp AND to complete a special concert in most of the areas to reach 5000 fans.

Is there a way to raise fans without the last concert that requires all three rare blades with fortitude? I haven't noticed it go up by just doing stamp missions.

*edit*

Yep, the concerts for dinging 99 stamps gave me the fans I needed. Ursula done.

[Tyrath]

Man I called it. KOS-MOS is my last RNG blade left

I've been playing casually and am currently on Chapter 3,

Spoiler: show

Just finished putting together the Titan Boat to use

I've mainly been focusing on Quests/Salvage/Blades and getting comfortable with combat (fuck cliffs and shitloads of enemies). Anyways, my question is if I should move any of my rare blades to another character. I know the item to move them is rare which is why I want to see if there's any that I should be moving now. Here's what I have so far:

Rex
Pyra (ATK)
Perun (ATK)
Finch (TNK)
Kora (HLR)

Nia
Dromarch (HLR)
Boreas (HLR)
Azami (ATK)

Edit:

Spoiler: show

I've heard about Rex getting access to all later, so I guess should I move Kora over to Nia or leave her with Rex?

Also, should I still fuse cores to Rex when trying for rare blades or do it on others instead?

That<s sucks, been fightning final boss for like 20 min at lv 65.

He does a move when he<s like at 10% HP, bang all 3 dead

I think I was level 69-70 for the final boss.

If you need levels, could always grind on the red mechs right before the final boss, using Pneuma's hax skillchain ability. I'm sure there are better places to grind, but these were right there. Even on the final boss, she just melted him from 60% to dead with a full burst.

I'm a scaredy cat coming from Chain attacks, i'm always scared that something happens after and rex dies before i can get another bar lol

As for Pneuma I almost never use her, which is probably not a good option, but what's her recast? At some point i used her, and wasn't able to use her again in the same fight ,even tho the afinity were gold and Chain bar was full

And Last thing, I wish you could switch between Pyra and Mythra during a chain attack but that would probably be OP

[tenkiki]

Spoiler: show

I understand not using Pneuma since her mechanic is introduced so late, but she is a game changer that made traversing the World Tree area much more manageable. I realized her potential against Jin and Amalthus when I was having trouble with them, then tried to use Pneuma and she obliterated them. Just try to get 3-4 orbs active, pop Pneuma, put on another orb with her auto combo ability, then activate chain attack (You can check her time remaining by her blade portrait in the lower left corner). She will be the only blade Rex can use, but hits all orbs for 1 damage. Have another character hit an orb for weakness, then on the next round, a bunch of orbs will be broken and you'll probably do a full burst and kill whatever.

Spoiler: show

I am too, but honestly if you pull off one cancelled blade combo after coming out of a chain attack you're right back at one bar. Mythra can do that in like 5 seconds.

And you can use Pneuma once per fight at max affinity. So thats why you couldn't recast her.

Full bursts are definitely a game changer on harder stuff in the game. I'm not sure I was really able to do any before getting

Spoiler: show

Pneuma

but once you have that during chain attacks, it does some insane damage. You generally need 4 orbs up before being able to get one off, but the more you have up that get destroyed, the more is added to the damage multiplier.

Having access to something like: https://i.imgur.com/68zSCfW.png helps in getting some of the harder to remember orbs, but I think with the setup I was using, it was pretty easy to get fire, water, light, and dark up since they didn't really require much memory.

[spoiler] I got fucked once at 5 orbs because of the scripted cs at 70% lol

Dear god, the Chapter 7 Boss (phase 1) took a little bit to get through. Ended up having to control Nia to force heals at the right times.

That fight wasn't that hard

You focused on Malos right?

yeah but they would rip through Morag at the wrong time at the worst time, which just trainrolls out of control.
