What Is The Best Build For Swordfighter(Late/Endgame)(Patch 1.1.0)~Xenoblade Chronicles 3

[@wafflesnosyrup]

i feel like this is noah’s canon build since the most pacifist person in the party ironically has the strongest fusion smash in the game. and waiting for the right moment to smash by waiting for buffs sounds like it describes sword fighters in real life since they have to wait for the perfect moment to strike. monolithsoft soft cooked 😭🔥

Nailed it in one Waffle!

A icon based character switch wheel that pauses combat would have been so useful

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

I agree Andreas! It's hard swapping to characters to your left as you have to claw your hand to do so.

@@Xenowolf8 This what I did as well Xenowolf. I don't like it but it works.

[@SlyRocko]

it is genuinely so funny seeing half of a superboss's hp bar being obliterated with a single attack. It really do be the Smash of the End.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Right? This is my first Xenoblade game and I am astonished on how powerful they let you become!

[@TrevisSlagowski]

Isn’t this an exact copy of the build that guy used to do an 11s kill of the 120 boss on hard?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Exact copy of who's? A friend showed me two weeks ago of a Japanese player killing the Hard Mode boss in 30 seconds using a Smash build. I don't understand a lick of Japanese and I waited two weeks for them to release a set up. Since they didn't I took it upon myself to make that build. Today's video is my interpretation of what that may have been Pianyst!

[@TrevisSlagowski]

@@Naztalgic_Memories some guy named lawaleeth. I mean you are using the same classes and arts down to the T.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@TrevisSlagowski Thank you for the username! While our Classes do line up our Fusions Arts, Items and Skills differ but I can promise you I have not copied this person. I was trying my best to emulate yintse99's who was the first person to publicly showcase this combo. Seeing they have uploaded other quality videos and if you look that I have done the same then you'd know players of our caliber will eventually come to the same conclusion as I am a fellow min-maxer.

[@phatasm6351]

Can you do an end game version of capable hands + lucky seven combo? It'll be interesting to see what you can come up with.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

I tested that before this and I couldn't see any benefits from that build vs this one as you need to build up a Talent Art to do what this build does faster. I'll go back to see if I can make something of its other abilities.

[@intel_coar6844]

@@Naztalgic_Memories Capable hands is a master skill that fills the talent gauge by 100% at the start of combat, meaning Noah can enter battle with lucky seven

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Whoops! I may have missed that when I first read it Intel_Coar. In that case maybe somethings possible!

[@martinlo7988]

@@Naztalgic_Memories hi, any update on this one?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@martinlo7988 I tried a handful of builds but it seems our skills get replaced with different ones which I have no idea what they are. It's been a month+ and no one has released datamine info on it so I can actually make a decent build. So it's on hold until we have more information Martin.

[@cavsfightingroom3692]

would love to know how this soulhacker setup works

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

The main purpose is to briefly draw Aggro at the start so Sena can hit the flank then buff the party. Normal party buffs from Signifer or Passives take some time to build up. We get the most important right away with Power Charge and Critical Up.

[@cavsfightingroom3692]

@@Naztalgic_Memories is it really better than just usig a signifer and troubadour in the party?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@cavsfightingroom3692 I guess it depends on your foe. If you're just fighting the endgame enemies at their base level this is all you need. On higher levels I don't see what a Troubadour would bring over Soulhacker so yes I would say it's better.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

My favorite job in any Role Playing Game is a Samurai or katana user. Noah doesn’t have a katana but he does have the Iaido Stance when he uses Lucky Seven. Since this is the closest thing to a Samurai that I can immerse myself with I took a lot of time into making this build the best I could. I present to you my interpretation of the best build for Noah’s Blade: Swordfighter!

[@bandi642]

could you make a lucky seven build that focuses on using the lucky seven by having it at the start of the battle with the flash fencer skill?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@bandi642 I'm honestly not sure how it would be better than this since the uniqueness about Lucky Seven is its Talent Art letting you do the Smash Combo by itself. This does that but the fights already over. I'll see what the other abilities do if there's anything cool to bring out of that build Bandi!

[@bandi642]

@@Naztalgic_Memories yeah, this builds is so amazing. not saying is better or worse, but lucky 7 is so cool and has the iaido gameplay

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@bandi642 I KNOW! Iaido is so cool! I'll check it out when I have free time Bandi!

[@bandi642]

@@Naztalgic_Memories im talking about the x art that does launch and smash, by doing one after the other it maximaces the damage of the smash because it scales with launch time the less launch time the more damage. i dont know the damages percentages of the arts of lucky seven but it should do more damage

[@gaemor_guy]

It's a very good build, but having two stance arts is useless as only 1 can be applied at a time. I think it's best to remove Shadow Eye and replace it with Sword Strike. Also personally, I would replace Ground Beat with Edge Thrust so that way I'm not always waiting for a cooldown. Other than that I think it's a really solid build!

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

I love the backhanded compliment Gaemor. First off Shadow Eye is NOT a Stance. Two if you watched the video you'd have heard that the Arts assigned to Y are not used but only put there because we had to. If you use anything else besides the X and B Arts then you're losing Power Charge which is what this build is banking on to kill the enemies quickly.

[@Coldbidz]

what difficulty tho?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

It was done on Easy Mode but you can replicate this on Normal and Hard Mode. That's why I have a back up Glittering Melody Cold!

Déjà vu

Someone call the fbi he dead ass broke the game 😂

B-but if they arrest me then I won't get to release more fun builds Soldier!
