2 years later but, bruh??? He doesn't even get ice mastery 🤣

[@conorb.1901]

@Pepe el Ghetto I know, his field skills are really bad. It's honestly really funny that he has exactly zero useful field skills. My wind knuckle from the beginning of the game has one leve maximum of wind mastery, and that's still better than what Godfrey's got lol

[@troy4173]

They say he's called God-free because when you use him, you'll feel like the Architect has abandoned you. Uh... because Godfrey kicked his butt. Y-yeah, totally.

[@sheassea9320]

“Oh Architect, is this the world you intended?”

[@Zach984racer]

He’s the king of merc missions. Never will you find an ice blade who could warm a bench as hot as he can.

[@JJJSmit9026]

not to mention the queen of merc missions would also happen to be an ice blade

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

@@JJJSmit9026 Yeah. I don't know what's worst: either an extremely tedious, boring and excruciatingly slow side quest for an ok blade or simply the most useless blade ever. He really made me thank God for getting Praxis and Perun, way better in the ice department.

[@Zach984racer]

@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 you mean Theory. Praxis is water Personally, I’d take Ursula. Knuckle Claws can provide better driver combo opportunities, she actually has a field skill, and better battle utility. Plus, while her quest does take some time, it can be completed much earlier than Godfrey’s. I see more use out of her than him.

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

@@Zach984racer ohh, I always make mistakes with those two. Ursula for healing is not bad but for me I don't feel she can deal with tough monsters like Perun or Theory can do. I prefer more offensive blades unless it's a war of attrition like with Carlos.

[@Zach984racer]

@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 there’s always the question of “would you rather kill it faster or stay alive longer” when it comes to battle. It’s probably better to kill faster (especially if the enemy has an OHKO attack) unless you are farming item drops and are just trying to smash as much as possible and build up a full burst.

How much sarcasm are you using for the Godfrey guide? Enel: Yes

[@jaydenly8153]

[@TruCheesy]

You can just feel the pain in Enel’s voice as he was praising Godfrey’s power. The power of Godfrey must’ve been too much for him to handle. 😔

“To give the enemies time to fear Godfrey”

[@thisimagelooksslightlybett1020]

Here’s a fun fact for you: Three blades in this game; Perun, Godfrey, and Perceval, are super invested in Justice and things just, but have really different ideologies on how justice should be delivered. They all have some of the longest blade quests (beaten only by Ursula and get new groove) Anyway, the dlc introduced a quest that involves all three of them working together to help someone get justice (the quest is called Cleared of All Charges, it’s given on Fonsett Island) Basically, Perceval calls Perun a masochist and tells Godfrey that he’s full of himself, lol

[@shedinyavi8233]

If he doesn’t mention his field skills in this video Im gonna be super mad Edit: Im mad. At 6:35 he mentions Godfrey being unselfish, but I strongly disagree, since said field skills only work on his own blade quest, which doesn’t sound too unselfish to me 😤😤😤😤

[@bobert221]

How ironic for Godfrey to be an Ice Blade, him and his hot design

[@enzoforgets9456]

They had to or else he’d burn your switch with his hotness

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

His hotness wasn't high enough. Shame on him for having two aux core slots, one was more than enough.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Funny enough in one of his heart to hearts he gets pointed out for being an Ice blade despite his constant "flames of justice" he goes on about. He tries to convince you they're just blue flames - convince himself more like - but no one buys it. One day, through evolution, perhaps he will become a Fire blade, but that's not happening any time soon.

My first rare blade! Kinda carried me through Uraya as I learned the game. ...Yes. It took forever. Even though he's pretty bad him being my first rng rare blade leaves him a special place on the team's bench.

[@crystalcamellia]

Honestly, this made me smile the entire way through. Enel sounds like he's having fun, and if he is then that's what important!

[@ClawlessnessScizor]

Monolith Soft burned him so badly on every level that he might as well be the fire element that he thinks he is.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Then he is actually a Flareon as opposed to the Glaceon he thought he was. Or a Reshiram as opposed to a Kyurem. Doesn’t matter, all except Kyurem in Sword/Shield are still bad and it took a Hoenn-level Pokédex without any legendaries to get Reshiram to be good. My metaphor stands.

[@SHADOWMON]

@@EnelXC yes who needs them when you have *the best* blade in the game and *the best* weapon type in the game!

[@nickbullinger141]

"Two of his skills don't synergize" I disagree. He gets more damage reduction at or below 30%, and also auto heals up to 30% health, after which it stops. This means he'll always be hovering at or below 30%, which makes him more resilient in the process. Although why you would use this strat if you could just...heal to full and then take more hits that way, I don't know.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Sounds like they were going for ch9 fights. Godfrey is one that gets slapped on by default. With good blade swapping management, you shouldn't need to swap anyone out the game gives you.

[@pietern.216]

[@seabass7841]

Woahh!! I didn't know Godfrey was this broken. Thank you for showcasing the greatest Blade in all of Xenoblade 2!!!

[@Leopoldshark]

The only reason Enel doesn't use such a powerful blade on his speedruns is he loses time trying to say "Permafrost Crash"

[@aegis84]

Honestly though, if it weren’t for all the things holding him back, Godfrey would be one of the best blades in the game

[@kala__362]

Godfrey is only holding back so the player actually has to try a bit at the very least. If he would use his true power, he could just infintely spam some really broken moves, hence the player might not learn the combat system too well in their first playthrough as they would just mindlessly spam one button. And we wouldn't want that now, would we?

[@yuki-layla4907]

I mean, in all seriousness, at least he's not the ABSOLUTE worst... He could be Electra... or Finch

[@iantaakalla8180]

That’s like comparing most Ice-types in the mainline Pokémon games to Rampardos. You have the type that is the absolute worst versus a Pokémon that has bad design decisions so that it would need to be overhauled. Even the worst Ice-type can try for a freeze. You can’t hit with Rampardos, or to be more accurate you can only hit once with Rampardos.

[@buddha3209]

Finch best blade.

[@christianboustani8284]

How to use Godfrey: You don't.

[@thisimagelooksslightlybett1020]

The toughest enemy on normal mood isn’t challenge mood Ken, or even Carlos, it’s definitely the Nameless Sentinel at the end of the KOS-MOS + Adenine DLC quest (the quest is called Mystery Launch codes and is one of my favourite quests lore-wise because only Adenine would care about KOS-MOS’ “strange understanding” and ability to override the World Tree) Also, real funny, it’s canonical that KOS-MOS was annoyed by the end of the quest

[@Fatalordi]

Godfrey is the Mumen Rider of Xenoblade 2. That's how fearsome he is.

[@davidtowers1863]

This is frightfully accurate

[@ItsNiaNow]

you should do a godfrey only run, since you seem to like using him so much

[@maagic2031]

He may not be the worst blade but his affinity tree fighting with itself infuriates me to no end

[@Yojimbo16]

If I could fix one thing about Godfrey, it would be taking all of his Unique Skills and condense them into 1 skill so he would actually have 2 skills that actually give him a reason to be carried in the field.

[@hail2jigglypuff168]

PLEASE The non-existence of practical Field Skills is why you never want Godrey in the early game, he's an enormous waste of a pity Blade! His Battle Skills are okay early game, you lack good healing anyways at that point so they procc more often. Still better off with Peceval, Gorg or Boreas if you want a beefy early game, and even Azami for play at low %'s.

[@dimthedimwit7221]

My Godfrey, I don't know if it was intentional, but when you said 'Godfrey brings you back to the early days of Pokemon as he slams his hammer of juctice' it reminded me of a firered/leaf green guide that would say to 'hammer away!' when talking about some fights.

Why did they have to give the Blade with the best design in the game such a wonky kit? If they swapped out his healing skill for something else, he'd be a pretty damn good desperation tank. I'm still gonna use him anyways, because he's such a good boy.

I remember playing this game on day 1 and pulling Godfrey as my first rare, and then seeing his field skills, and assuming all rare Blades had field skills that only work with their quests, then being furious that it seemed like the only way to activate high-level field things was with tons of commons. Field skills still slurp diarrhea with a straw even with fully equipped rares, but I'm glad rares usually have real field skills.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

I want to see how long it actually takes to kill Elma with iron wall and reflect...

[@wumbology72]

For real tho that elma strat would be really cool if aggro was completely reworked to make tanks not need to outdamage dps blades just to hold on to aggro

[@cullenlatham2366]

thinking about the elma strat shown, what if iron wall and its variants locked agro onto the user for the duration the shield is up? It wont fix tanks as a whole, but it does give shield hammers some utility that might be able to save the weapon class which is otherwise unusable without bending over backwards to make them do their job...

[@wesnohathas1993]

My thought has been that shield hammers rely on other blades to pull the aggro, then you switch over to them for safety until the aggro runs out, but they're ultimately more useful for getting rid of aggro than holding on to it...

[@bluegem8582]

ngl, would've also loved enel just ripping into on how bad godfrey is, would've been just as enjoyable as his totally genuine flattery of godfrey's usefuless

[@chillyice2907]

The jokes aside, it's such a weird choice to give a tank character a lot of stuff that activates at low health. Like I've said before, I think hammers can prove decent if their skills are good enough (Kasandra and Poppibuster). Godfrey has one good skill, and the other two are pretty bad. Combine that with his three standard specials all being ridiculously slow and you just have a blade that screams mediocre (ironic, I know). I'd take him over a few of the non-hammer blades but he's still quite bad.

[@JJGamezMC]

I think that your screen was upside down in the tier list video because I saw that the #1 blade godfrey was at the bottom. Might want to redo that video because people might look at that video and play sub optimally without knowing it.
