"How can Patroka be bad if big number good?" You've got us there Enel.

[@ashketchup7354]

But why big number good?

[@johnnsmash0467]

Chugga: I leave Enel to explain the scientific stuff. Enel: BIG NUMBER GOOD

[@Kokoyorii]

Chugga's enthusiasm is genuinely contagious

[@twilo1015]

I spent a solid 40 seconds waiting for the classic "Hey everybody, it's Chuggaaconroy!" before realising that this is, in fact, not a Chuggaaconroy video but instead a crossover

[@baronhdl5861]

Yeah she’s cool but does she scream *WULFRIC!* when she does her level 4?

[@anthonyk3952]

Only Chugga can somehow be so enthusiastic about being so pessimistic about something.

[@justinbowman1342]

You waited so long to get to Patroka, she's probably fuming right now.

[@sigmadraconis8207]

I once saw a picture that called her "evil Tifa." Also, apparently Patroka doesn't wear pants.

[@nodot17]

Blades wear pants?

[@TrinityCore60]

@@nodot17 maybe it depends on the Blade.

[@kohltalbot]

I was deadass confused and thought I accidentally clicked a chugga video.

[@Psychopath465]

"You cannot do damage without hitting things" So THAT'S where I've been going wrong.

[@daltongibson1033]

Fun fact: Patroka's voice actress, Laila Pyne, also voices Herald and Agate. While I've seen criticism of her performance as Patroka, I rarely see anyone speaking ill of Herald and Agate's vocal performances, and more often see people who like them! Let it be known that her less-than-stellar performance as Patroka is not standard for Laila Pyne, and she voices other characters in XC2 very well! (Also, Patroka is perfecly fine in the heart-to-hearts in my opinion, and it's really just the main story cutscenes where she's not amazing. Which are, of course, the most prominent appearance of Patroka, but. Whatever. I personally think that there were just weird directing choices made for Patroka in the main story cutscenes, and that's the reason for her weird performance- especially since Laila Pyne also voices characters from other games that I love, like Xayah from League of Legends!)

[@woofpack3]

Yeah, iirc they did a blazing fast run of the voice acting for the game to get it out on time and the whole game had pretty mediocre voice direction imo. I think they had more time to refine stuff for ng+ and torna though which is why the voice acting in that content seems better

[@ShadowSkyX]

Agate seems to be her best character.

[@ryans3199]

Voice acting aside, I wish this game would let you view Heart-to-Hearts in Scenario Events like every other AV clip. 😕 They have some of the cutest and most touching moments, such a waste.

[@rubenlima7311]

I feel like the next Xeno guide will be something like : "Truly understanding combat in Torna the Golden Country"

[@gaymerjerry]

use jin never switch to haze. end of video

[@conorb.1901]

@@gaymerjerry if Jin was usable in the base game, he'd be amazing. His skills are kind of ridiculous (although the vanguard switch skill would obviously need to be changed)

[@gaymerjerry]

@@conorb.1901 exactly hes not balanced in torna at all but im happy theres at least one blade thats amazing at ultimate aurora

[@BagonGanda]

now we need "common giant-blade megalance weapon guide, common female blade megalance weapon guide, common male blade megalance weapon guide"- and so on so the content continuessssss

[@anaisabelgomezrobledo7426]

Honestly, one thing I don't like about Torna is that Mikhail, Akhos and Patroka (especially these two) spend the entire game being Team Rocket and when they finally explain their backstory they are about to die.

[@timmyjoseph9938]

Poor tyrannotitan Kurodil can finally rest in his grave without having the same people come everyday to revive him and use him as a punching bag.

[@noahwhiteley2879]

Let’s just appreciate the end of a great series

[@angeldude101]

"Anything weak to Earth element will get absolutely destroyed by Patroka" This includes her brother by the way. In _both_ fights. Illusory Bloom is her best Special because she slaps the opponent which actually does damage.

[@SAI-Max_D]

I like to imagine the thought process in conceptualising Patroka's character went something like this: "Uh oh, looks like Nomura-san accidentally gave us some concept art of a scrapped costume variant for FFVII Remakes' Tifa." "This again?! I can understand the guy's being pulled in all sorts of directions at the moment, but he already presented us with the Cloud x Sephiroth hybrid-clone concept that is Jin." "Well, if this Patroka is gonna be another Square Enix reference, we might as well make her personality similar to a character from a different IP that Squeenie has published..." "In that case, how about this Kainé chic from the niche title Nier? We might have to tone down the profanities a bit, but **shrugs**"

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

One of the very few characters able to remove Dagas from the party and compensate for it. She really hits hard.

[@marcelineabadeer8380]

Ayyyyyyyy Chugga’s here for the final blade guide that’s amazing thank you so much for this amazing series Enel!

[@aiexmonsterhunter]

I was so confused at the begining. I genuinely thought Chugga had made some kind of parody about your guides and had to double check which channel this video was uploaded to xD

[@connorlego5229]

I can’t wait for the finale of chugga’s XC2 playthrough when Enel makes a voiced appearance

[@kingvike379]

She's good in combat and also insanely hot, its a win win situation

[@exordi5172]

I... didn’t realize that was Chuggaa until the voices switched and I went back and checked lol

[@chanlaman2565]

Enel ending the blade guides the only way he knows how: with a cute girl Awesome guides, man. More people are starting to play XC2 because of Smash, so I’m glad these guides are here to provide them with proper tutorials since the game didn’t really seem to get the memo to have them itself. These deserve more views!

[@stripedrajang3571]

I was one of those lol. I actually got Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna: The Golden Country and all other dlc's last summer for my birthday, but didn't touch it till Pyra/Mythra got announced for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I finished the story before Monster Hunter: Rise came out, and plan to 100% when I'm done with Monster Hunter: Rise. 😁

[@spiderdude2099]

I can’t believe people actual dislike her voice acting. It’s literally PERFECT. I love that valley girl tsundere thing she’s got going on, and her interactions with Mikail crack me UP.

[@monadoguy7807]

idk why everyone saying this is the final Blade Guide, Enel hasn't even gotten to making guides on all the possible Common Blades in the game.

[@TawksickMewtwo]

The end of an era. These blade guides I'm very sure are very helpful for newer players and older players alike. Thanks for doing all this Enel. You did a great job with these.

[@conorb.1901]

Patroka is a fantastic blade, bit what I want to know is why the heck her core chip is so much better than the other Torna blades. A lot of blades would kill for a core chip like that.

[@lukeyp95]

Man I can't believe this is the last one. Been here for a long time and watched every single one. The information was invaluable and I loved every single one. Thanks so much for this! Also that chugga crossover!!!

[@Souvlaki96]

I like how Chugga sounds enthusiastic even when complaining about something!

[@sebasthiannunez7880]

I didn't expect the Lord himself to be here...

[@thedemonicorangefridge1930]

Well, here we are. The end of an era. And what a high note to end on. A word I've used to describe most of the Torna blades is reliable, and I feel that word describes Patroka more than any other. Her damage output is nuts with no bad skills and a great weapon type for damage. She's pretty much a better Adenine and that's absolutely beautiful. Character wise I think Emile best described how I feel about her. Not good. Since we're at the end I feel like listing my three favourite and least favourite blades in descending order of how much I like them: Favourites: Sever, Cressidus, Theory Least favourites: Newt, Electra, Godfrey Thank you so much Enel for providing these videos for us despite the issues you've been going through. I hope for the best for you! Also thank you Chuggaaconroy for playing through my favourite game of all time and helping to introduce this wonderful game to more people.

[@PenguinTr4sh]

Eyyyyy, finally the series is complete! So excited for the future of this channel (Also monolith please reveal XC3 at this year’s E3)

[@camfalafranca800]

I'm good for anything really

[@aegislight98]

If anyone is in trouble with Elma: Redux, try Corvin on Mòrag and KOS-MOS on Zeke, with both ether modifier blades, and Rex with Mythra and Patroka, that equals victory assured.

[@codename618]

I swear, it feels like this series started yesterday. I'm gonna miss it. Now it's time for a Common Blade guide. 👀 And by that, I kinda just mean going over the different specials and skills on the affinity charts at the very least?

[@johnnyp9126]

woahhhhhhhhhh the intro made me jump hahahaha

[@the_bookworm8281]

Now that the Blade Guides are complete, I wonder if there is going to be a revised blade tier list will be happening soon. The process of making those videos seems to be quite a nice learning experience on how lesser-used blades fare in higher level settings. There was also a few (significant) things that were discovered in the making of those videos (Cressidus' lvl 4 topple stack shenanigans, Newt's mistranslated skill, etc.). Either way, this video series was quite a fun ride. Keep it up!

[@ClawlessnessScizor]

This was not a cross-over I was expecting, but I absolutely love it!

[@hannahvuylsteke1131]

Blade guides are over now :( Thank you so much Enel for creating all these guides! I've loved XC2 for a while, but I've come to appreciate it even more from watching your channel. You should be really proud of this series, and I can't wait to see where your channel goes next!

[@NebulaAlterna]

Well I wasn’t expecting Emile here. That is great, been following him since like 2009. He lasted my whole school life from elementary through high school love him to death.

[@princefishyfingers7498]

I think the best thing about this series was that Enel can just easily turn any character into a sss tier blade

[@tomux5741]

Woah I didn't realize there was only 1 blade left to finish the blade guides. This was certainly a huge project for your channel and they have been really helpful to me. Thank you as always and I'm looking forward to your future videos or guides about the series.

[@RandomBurfness]

Looks like the way to use her is just: have her in your party!

[@Surfinator]

All good things must come to an end. Thank you sooo much for your phenomenal blade guides Enel! You are a legend!

[@arbaruhin9098]

I think now that the blade guide series is done, it might be cool to see guides on each level in challenge mode. I think learning the speed strats or just general guides on how to beat each level in bringer of chaos would be super cool to see.

[@gmaster2647]

Did not expect to see chuggaaconroy collab on this finale! That was a surprise. This series was excellent, you did a great job on these videos. I forget if you got asked, but are you planning on re-doing any Torna guides? I've noticed compared to the main game Torna seems not focused on as much.

[@orangepotato2112]

Just wanna say, MASSIVE props for doing all of this! I appreciate it greatly as it's been helpful not only to me but lots of people :D

[@roytheboy5286]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this series. I’m gonna miss listening to you (and chugga) talk about big numbers all the time

[@michaeldavis5973]

This was a great series! Can’t wait for more content

[@davidtate2000]

Hey Enel since this is the last blade guide I want to say that I found your channel through the blade guides and I really enjoy your content. I even went back to some of your old videos too. I hope you have a great day and I'm excited for any future content you may or may not have planned

[@cpattersoniv]

Enel, Thank you so much for this series. I got this game when it first game out and never played it until recently. Your guides have been thoroughly watched and enjoyed and were very informative (Poor Nia. No blade is best on her) Now if only there was a vid about all those accessories and aux cores you talked about 😉 Seriously though, thank you so much.

[@mmicb0b]

probably the best NG+ Blade (Akhos is pretty good too) and of course she's stupidly hard to get

[@SearchmanDS]

Thanks for making all of these Blade guide videos they provide some great insight.

[@misbehaven1237]

This has been a really great series to watch! I’m sure you’ve got ideas for where to go next, but one thing I think would be cool/useful as a “guide” would maybe be videos on optimal team setups for challenge mode missions or specific areas of combat?

[@claydolmaster2644]

Me: *clicks on video for background noise* Chuggaa: PATROKA Me: CHUGGACONROY!?!?!?!?

[@rakuen7235]

Thanks for all the effort Enel, these videos have been so interesting

[@Wlightning25]

Congrats on finishing the blade guides! I look forward to more content. Also Patroka is cool enough

[@ratman6754]

She is the *last* blade I need. I have been working day and night to boost Nia’s compassion. I have used compassion boosters. I have used all of this, PLUS legendary core crystals. I hate her for this, but I know as soon as I get her, I will be jumping for joy.

[@moberlysquad67]

Love all the content you give us Enel. I hope you can feel better soon.

[@ProtoZaru]

Thanks for this series Enel. It's because of you that I gave xenoblade 2 a second chance and it became one of my favorite games ever made, keep up the good work!

[@thetoragod654]

“Big number good”. Friend Enel truly is smartest person Tora know! However... Tora now much sad because bladey-blade guides are over... *sad meh meh*. Though Tora and Poppi appreciate friend Enel for passing down his amazing knowledge to Tora and friends!!!

[@stevepikman]

We love and appreciate Patroka in this house

[@Supersonix58]

I love how Chuggaa got into the series at the very end

[@dethan4176]

Last episode? Sad to see this go. This is by far my favourite series on this channel! I hope you’ll do some walkthroughs on some challenges (if there aren’t any already???) and some basic “sets” you can use.

[@robertstrott5001]

This was a fantastic series to watch! I learned a lot about the combat. Random thought that popped into my head watching this, but what if you could switch to your other party members mid battle? I think that’s be pretty awesome.

[@EnelXC]

I've wanted this for a long time hahaha

[@sunname6252]

Now to wait for the "Is it additive or multiplicative?" guide. For instance, I forgot that aux core crit rate was multiplicative.

[@EnelXC]

It is multiplicative lol

[@oro6399]

“Mik... please, shut up!”

[@LinkcarioX]

It took me by surprise hearing Chugga at the start. I actually thought I was in the wrong channel for a moment.

[@nikopierrot]

I haven't seen a Chugga video since his Kid Icarus Uprising series, so I got really confused and thought I clicked on the wrong video at first. Nice to see some collaboration!

[@gachalibra9243]

Now that this is the end... I need to say something... The core chip from the titan superboss is actually the best core chip for every blade because it gives each blade their original weapon

[@callmezeldaonemoartime]

This is the crossover of the century

[@tilerh17]

Emile in the intro threw me off so bad lol. Definitely had to double check what video I was watching. Hell of a series. I also want to acknowledge how you wrote all of these guides to be able to be watched independently. Which sounds obvious, but small things like mentioning in every video that L4 specials freeze combo timers and make you invincible. Or why certain accessories are really good. How easy would it have been to assume we knew that and skip that information? But you made each guide accessible to anyone, which is super cool

[@lightningwolf1727]

I did not expect Chuggaaconroy to be in this video, I was pleasantly surprised by that. I did not find Patroka's character, though her toolset is great, especially Fatal Blow and Swallow's Flight. If I were to improve her in any way, Great Garland would gain an additional 2 hits to make it more useful. @Enel I know this is the end of the blade showcase you have got going on and I am a bit sad about that. I am curious if you are going to a guide for the team in Torna: The Golden Country?

[@soul1795]

And thus. I have fully optimized every single blade now thanks to you Enel. Was always excited when a new guide would come out and I'd get to build another blade. Can't wait to see what's to come.

[@jasonso2056]

Tl;dw The worst thing about Patroka is her level 2 special. Thanks for providing these guides for us, Enel! They really help people get into Xenoblade and understand its mechanics. I know they helped me!

[@kamilandzi]

thank you for the absolute behemoth of xc2 blades knowledge

[@enderaceofspades8579]

Ah, Tifa Xenoblade

[@pkg946]

good to hear Chugga after so long

[@ajaxmajor]

thank you for your service

[@hydraofvaliance2691]

i clicked this video and i immediately thought i accidentally clicked on a chugga vid and had to double check

[@mewminator]

Enel, can you please cover the different common blades, I'd like to see all their different specials/damage ratios plus what king of interesting combination of abilities you can get to optimize them. It's fine if you can't be bothered to bust open enough core crystals to get the perfect common tho.

[@scrapyarddragon]

sad to see this at an end, I guess the question is what awaits us now

[@Magic_Ice]

Hopefully Enel comes onto Chugga’s channel to talk about Patroka

[@Magic_Ice]

Didn’t happen rip but you get mentioned a lot

[@JJGamezMC]

I like how xenoblade 1 and 2 both have such broken strategies that it’s not that hard to defeat some of the hardest enemies in both games at level 1.

[@vilehoward7251]

HAZE JIN AND MINOTH BLADE GUIDES GO GO GO cmon you know you wanna

I was planning on commenting about how much i hate Patroka, but I'm genuinely so happy two of my favorite youtubers collaberated for this. Thank you, Chug. I look forward to seeing your Let's Play continue.

[@SeriousStriker]

I reckon using a team of Poppi QT Pi with the Light Element + Patroka + Adenine could kill Ophion on BoC really quickly.

[@devincombs4509]

this series was very helpful

[@2Brave2]

Thanks again for another good tuto enel ^^

[@guguig9746]

Ok, that was a great surprise!

[@SilverSalamence]

I love Patrokas design, her concept as a character, her playstyle, her place in the the plot, but oof her english voice is so poorly directed its almost painful. Its not that her english VA isnt good, because her VA did other voices in this game that were GREAT, but every Patroka line in the main game sounds like the VA has no context whatsoever. I just wanna know what happened to make the random npc lines have more care put into them than the *major story cutscenes* . The angry tone she uses in contrast to the JPN VA is fine, and I even kinda like it, but with the poor directing job going on, it makes it just unimaginably grating sometimes to the point that its the weirdest bad voice direction choice in the whole game. I really do like nonstandard VA jobs and weird tone is a part of it, but Patroka and Mikhail have the WORST VA work in the game on technicals alone and it goes beyond a interesting and unique voice quirk and into 'bad enough to break immersion' because its clearly not on purpose. Its just... bad. Pretty much every part of the english dub is as good or better than the jpn imo, *except* for Obrona, Patroka, and Mikhail and it makes it hard to enjoy them because of how hard they drag down the english VA. Shes fun and cool though. Stabby spear cool, big number good.

[@Zach984racer]

Patroka is complicated. She has the same english voice as Agate and Herald, but her deliveries just seem off... Tsunderes are already a complicated personality, but I think of all the blades, she’s the only one who’s personality I’m not a fan of, but I still use in battle from time-to-time.

[@FoxHoundUnit90]

I think it’s more of a voice directing problem. Through out the game there’s bad deliveries, but I wouldn’t say any of the actors are bad. But that’s my take on it

[@Qwerty10254]

Does tsundere means annoying b1tch?

[@freakon2009]

I had just dusted the insides of my PC and plugged back everything. Decided to test the PC audio with this video and was wondering why Enel sounded like Chugga...
