Some advice for Dahlia, if you give her the "Elemental Orb Ender" aux core she will break two to three orbs guaranteed. It all depends on the location of the wind orb.

[@cordesbatchelder8036]

I got boreas in chapter 2 on Rex, Not knowing that you can only overdrive a few characters, i overdrived him to nia. Don't regret it.

[@Excalibur5k]

cordes batchelder what chapter are you on? Cause it's good you overdrived him off of rex. Rex shouldn't be bonded with any rares unless it's required for the story.

Misha ok 👌🏻

[@tiger8154]

you can get infinite overdrives easily in the second half lol

[@Laurmachi]

I adore using Agate. Her damage just seemed to rein supreme compared to even main characters. I first had her on Rex, and recently I had her on Morag and I love her on both of them.

[@ew275x]

Adenine also has insane utility with her weakness damage increase since it's like an 80% damage increase, much better than Dahlia in Chain Attacks for that reason since it let's you kill the enemy faster. Agaeon's perfect Evasion when reaching Max affinity is broken. Electra also comes with her own Block Rate Up V and a counter, while Kasandra can't make much use of Fortune due to her low crit rate. Also KOS-MOS beats Herald due to better element and having an Ether Mod.

[@envytee9659]

I always look forward to your Xenoblade vids and I truly missed them these past few days. Great to see you're back and better than ever!

I got zenobia and vale very early on. Zenobia was my first rare blade...

[@Daboy804]

Robo315 I got them early but since I wanted to avoid spoilers I didn't even use them since I didn't know they were good. Got Vale as nias first blade and zenobia on morag. I'm just now working on them at level 90 -_-

[@bones9964]

I love my dynamic duo of Ursula and Boreas on Rex and Nia respectivly also fantastic video I love your tier lists.

[@leveldown8743]

In my opinion, you should have split the Ether Cannon section. The two are both insanely powerful. Herald has more damage and is able to oneshot liteally anything without huge investment (+she levels up insanely quick), but KOS-MOS makes it literally impossible to lose due to her team healing and increased survivability. Ether Cannons might be the most overpowered wepon class in the entire game, not counting "unique" classes like the Aegis Sword or the Big Bang Edge. ... Could you please extend this list and explain, which one of these unique classes is the best?

[@monadomaster3301]

LevelDown soooooooooo true

[@jinkisaragi874]

Really? So far i have only some comon blades with canons and they are not all that good.

[@JustPixelNoIDontWantAnyNumbers]

That is because the Commons in general suck. Kosmos, Herals and Sheba are probably teh most OP thing in Xenoblade, Herals in particular

[@SeriousStriker]

KOS-MOS is better than Sheba, as KOS-MOS can wield the light element, and Hyperclock is stupidly overpowered.

[@TwilightAdvance]

LevelDown kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2THY4Zqo9BkhNE is Poppi an Ether cannon :"D?

[@tackshootr680]

Boreas is so fun. I love his design and his voice. The strategy I use with him is switching between blades to charge his level 3 special then using it to fully heal the whole team. Works pretty well in most cases, especially against multiple enemies.

[@haks8639]

Awesome video my dude. You deserve to have much more subscribers.

[@elrey5671]

Nice video and big work!

[@deusvlad2.083]

I think it depends on playstyle mostly and some Blades are better for certain situations but on average the top ones imo are Corvin, Kosmos, Zenobia, Elma, Herald, Telos, of course Mythra/pyra in their ashended form, being the top ones on my current list, and also depends on how you equip them all can help enhance them make them better. oh yeah I forgot maxing out Poppi and all her forms just cheeses the game, but that could take a while cause I don't intend to play Tiger Tiger Arcade ever again but luckily you can upgrade her in new game + with accumilated exp shop.

[@ChromaticFramerø]

Hmm, guess I got a really good early heal setup on Nia, with Ursula and Boreas, that I got in chapter 2.

[@iMoondesert]

Right when I woke up, Thank you

[@Lulink013]

My only problem with Xenobia is that I focus a lot on driver combos and Roc's smash is a must have on Rex, which leaves me with no air spot left on him. I could just add zeke to the party, but I use Nia for her good breaks (and launch with knuckles) and Tora for having the 4 driver combo elements by himself...

[@deusvlad2.083]

Fun fact i didn't know kasandra was actually from salvaging early on in morArdain part of the game and I ended up getting her 2nd from Last, and last being Telos lol

[@TwilightYonder720]

I just got Kos-Mos (my last) the other day took about like 300 cores but Launching and SMASHING that Armu was weirdly satisfying I wonder what the DLC will have, there are no Dark or Fire healers or a Earth tank (besides Poppi) and depends what Challenge Mode might be maybe new higher leveled enemies

[@theinsfrijonds]

@8:30 I like the irony of Theory "taking the cake" while you fail to gain agro (Zeke is tanking) and then the other two die... heh

[@magus13131]

[@HelloHelloHellobby]

I find nim to be the best healer and I had her on Rex almost the whole game. Healing the whole team full with a level one special that is super easy to get is amazing. She also does a ton of damage

[@isakts8576]

Yeah! also knuckles are just fun in general on Rex!

[@noirknightzelgius384]

I know vale is better but I always use Perun, she was my first random rare and I like her personality and side quest

[@rossmacdaddy]

Current Character Setups: Rex: Pyra-Mythra/Zenobia/Roc Nia: Boreas/Floren/Ursula Tora: Poppi/Poppi QT/Poppi QTπ (...duh) Morag: Brigid/Theory/Perceval Zeke: Herald/Vale/Wulfric I rarely use Nia anymore, but Rex and Tora are usually a lock. I'll juggle Poppi's Cores based on whether I use Morag or Zeke. I was hesitant to go double Wind on Rex, but once I figured out Roc's critical rate reaches 76% with Crit Up V and Moon Matter Chip, I didn't feel so bad about it anymore. Also, Topple/Launch/Smash on Rex is always worth it. Sometimes I'll run Herald/Sheba/Azami on Zeke if I want to ensure a Driver combo for farming.

[@catalyst539]

The cookie cutter blades for Mòrag are Brighid, Aegeon and Kasandra.

[@DewottReborn]

17:50 Rex be ballin here

[@BarbsNightly]

I just got Ursula early on in Chapter 3. Gonna have fun completing that affinity chart.

[@powwowken2760]

huh, 2 years late but my team playing through the game was super similar to this list, Herald, Vale/Praxis, Mythra was my standard Rex set-up, always Boreas, Ursala, Dromarch for Nia, and either Tora and the Poppi's or Morag with Theory, Kassandra, Brighid. Sorry Zeke, I don't hate you, but you got literally zero playtime in my game.

[@TurquoiseStar-tv9je]

Just out of curiousity, did anyone bother to finish getting the rare blades that are found from core crystals once you got KOS-MOS? I got her just recently, and don't feel a need to get the rest of the rare blades I haven't found except for Praxis and Theory. The only random non new game+ rare blades I'm currently missing are the cat girl one and Herald.

[@TurquoiseStar-tv9je]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then I find out that I don't have to farm more core crystals to get Herald. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

[@titosimoes9782]

Vale and boreas were the first two blades I got in chapter 2 and they made the game pretty easy going. I never had to much trouble against special beasts even if they were 20 levels above me. Nia/Boreas is pretty awesome.

[@StormtrooperV2]

Now that it seems all the DLC blades have been released as of the Torna expansions, do you have any plans to remake this video? That would be AWESOME

[@spiritflame8806]

I've actually been quite lucky with "random" blades. I didn't watch a single strategy or battle guide whilst playing through the main story. It turns out I accidently came close to having the best team possible. Still trying to get KOSMOS, Vale, Perceval, Dahlia, and 1 or 2 others.

[@jaredkhan8743]

U should make a video on the best 2-3 blades of each role/class (probably besides poppi since people would want to use these blades together). Especially now is a good time since every pre golden country Blade has been released

[@Mugetsukun]

Guess im a but late for that game in general but this guide mostly looks at active play right? Meaning the katanas are probably ot that good when u have them on your npc tank right?

[@snakotakagorro8392]

Another great video! I actually agree on most of your rankings, except one thing. Shield hammers: while I personally like Electra more, I agree that Kasandra is better overall. Chroma Katanas: Totally agree. Theory is the best, and one of my favourites in the whole game. While Aeageon is great, to achieve his dodge potential, you either have to be low on hp (and that is a bit dangerous for katanas, as they are more fragile than shield hammers), or move around a lot (bot then you can't attack). Bit Ball: No contest. Boreas is amazing. Not to mention his affinity chart is super easy to unlock (if you have enough money and money making is easy in this game). Knuckles: Again, no contest. Ursulla is the best healer in the game. But her affinity chart is soooooo bad. How many hours do you actually need to unlock that sh*t?! 20? 30?! Goddamnit... Still not done. Spears: Yeah, Vale is kinda ahead of everyone in regards to damage. Wulfric is good, but driver combos are usually very short, so the window of opportunity is very narrow, so it can be hard to unlock his full damage potential. Praxis is good, but falls behind a little. Perun is strong solo, but that is pretty boring. Axes: Yeah, Zenobia is amazing. So is Dagaz. Others are not so much. Ether Canons: I would place KOS-MOS on the first place, as she has amazing utility, and I think her lvl 1 special actually deals more damage than Herald's. At least it did in your video. Another thing why I placed Herald on second place - she really struggles with aggro, as she has no aggro reduction whatsoever. And with her damage even the best tanks will struggle to keep aggro to themselves. Sheba has amazing damage potential, but it takes too much time to get it. And Azami... She is in a sad place. Her normal damage is horrible when compared to other Ether Canons, and it is very hard to achieve her true damage potential with the way healing works in this game. I'm sure, that If you have 1 hp remainig, you will deal a lot of damage. But I have never seen her passive kick in on my story playthrought, let alone on superbosses. It's too bad, considering her great design as a character.

[@magus13131]

Wait til you see the DLC Axe, T-elos... She's probably the easiest blade to hit dmg cap with.

[@natsu2010]

Have checked over and over your videos, which is very useful information since I started playing all over again. But since all drivers can use up to three weapons each at most the question popped up, what weapons each character should focus their builds on. Both Rex and Zeke seem to be Great axe users of what I've seen, as same for either cannon

[@mykaldrakes4570]

I actually bonded theory to rex. Does that combination work or should I have bonded her to morag

Paul Rance From my understanding, past Ch 8 or so, you never have a reason to bond a blade directly to Rex ever again

Mythra is so broken at max chart IMO Also Poppi QTpi with her builds are insane

[@NnLiMedia]

Most of the story based blades are among the most useful, in their own way. Poppi QTπ has great damage output, Mythra (at least to my knowledge) builds party gauge the fastest out of every blade, while Brighid and Poppi Alpha are immortal tanks.

[@petertilton7004]

Is there a video to showcase which characters should get which rare blades? I ask because in my playthrough for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nia managed to get all three blades for the CLeared of all Charges quest and it can't be active unless all three are in the party so I sent Godfrey to Zeke. Was that a wise option?

[@GoldenOunk]

yeah but what is the strategy for opening? like do you just open them all on Nia then overdrive the attackers?

[@brados25z6]

GoldenOunk best way to do it is to open rares and legendaries on who you want and use the booster for the corresponding element ( ex.justice for dark on Zeke etc )and if you get the wrong blade on the wrong driver use whatever overdrive protocol you have to transfer them to who you want

[@V3rP]

Mythra, Corwin, Kosmos are the only blades you will need for 45secs boss kills.

[@ShallBePurified]

This is my team: Rex: Mythra, Zenobia, Praxis Nia: Dromarch, Herald/KOS-MOS, Ursula Morag: Brighid, Kasandra, Theory With the exception of Praxis, all my rare blades are what you consider the best in their class (I consider Herald and KOS-MOS to be equal, they are interchangeable depending on if I'm going for 5 orbs or 4). Praxis is just for extra utility for her element. I'm hoping that NG+ allows us to transfer blades over so I can try different team builds without RNG.

[@James-pb7kr]

My sets: Rex: Mythra, Agate, Vale Nia: Ursula, Dromarch, Boreas Morag: Brighid, Aegaeon, Kasandra Zeke: Zenobia, KOS-MOS, Pandoria (everyone says Pandoria is bad, but she's actually not if you max her affinity chart)

in my opinion i dont think you should use knucle class blades at all because they arent very good with healing and the only move she can heal is by dropping a potion or 2 and they can die out before you get to them so i dont recomend even using knuckle class blades like at all EDIT: even if they dont change it what if it doesnt work for you what if you dont know how to do it just please if you dont use this tactic stay away from knuckle blades for healing

[@JoeSmith-xp5ll]

Wouldn't Link's Blade be Fi?

[@jaredkhan8743]

Joe Smith ur riiiiggghhhttt. (also totally called Shulk and Elma lmaooo)

[@disturbedrebirth]

What about swords, rings, whip sword, etc?

[@catalyst539]

Dromarch is the only rare blade with rings. Same goes for Brighid, Mythra/Pyra,Blade Nia.

The only reason why I won't restart this game is Ursula's affinity chart

[@sanabashir8763]

How do you say nn li

[@tienthanhnguyen1540]

I'd probably put Dagas over Zenobia. She is actually WAY too powerful that the tanks really couldn't keep up with her aggro - even Mythra spamming Spinning Edges couldn't do that. Also, I agree with you on Dahlia, but as Floren is way better at healing than Boreas.

Hey Nn Li, got a couple of random questions about this game I was hoping you could answer. Is there a "best" kind of pouch item for each character? Right now I'm just using anything that speeds up driver abilities, but the majority of foods I have/use are low tier, to say the least. I've noticed in many of your videos that you tend to focus on getting the Elemental Orbs up, and Driver Combos seem to fall to the wayside. Is that just because of personal preference, or is that the most efficient way of fighting the big baddies if this game? Is it even possible to set up a team to do both the full Driver Combo chain and get elemental orbs?

[@mnjkmnjk123]

TubaAssassin pouch items vary depending on what your doing. I prefer running two items that boost special damage as with the right setup you can kill most super bosses after charging a chain att with 1 or no orbs. If you wan't survivability or your farming items than driver art boosting items are preferred as you can heal and smash more often. For your second question driver combos take a paticular setup. Only certain blades break, topple, launch and smash meaning you're limited to running certain blades to preform driver combos. Generally you'll have a party member who can break and Rex at all times so you can topple enemies to hit them for increased damage during the topple and ideally Tora who can preform the whole combo himself although he rarely will finish it without the bangle equipped. While the combos are useful they dont make or break your dps with smash primarily used for trash mobs or farming and there are a lot of better setups for maximizing dps that use blades that can't preform combos. Even if they could you do the most damage with them when something is toppled so you probably wouldn't want to. Driver combos are great when your playing through the story and are useful in endgame to farm but aren't really practical for the endgame challenges which is sort of a bummer cause they're so fun.

[@Excalibur5k]

I a rex/tora/zeke build so I just put recharge arts on rex since I use a heal blade with him and want quick heals (he's not gonna out damage tora and zeke with mythra anyway) and on the others I just increase special damage. Generally if I'm controlling the character I want arts recharge to increase the pacing and to build my own specials faster, but for the AI I don't really care that much.

[@6rednek]

Right now, I'm running Rex/Nia/Tora. I have Rex equipped with Pyra/Mythra, Pandoria, and Roc, to go through the combo. Mia sets up Break with Dromach, Boreas, and Vess, although I plan to replace Vess with the Demonetization Bunny once I unlock her to cover the ice element. Tora is just doing his own thing, and I plan to change Poppi Qtpi's element to Dark for complete coverage once I unlock her, too.. If it's really not worth it to focus on the Drive combos, then I'll try to come up with something better

[@magus13131]

Hot Ruby Steamed Bun + Narcipear Jelly are a great combo for any activity. They increase your art recharge by 0.4s each as well as grant you some -% dmg taken from both types of dmg (main thing you want is the art recharge, as that makes you heal faster, deal dmg faster, hold hate better, etc etc). They're only not too good for Perdido, who shines with auto attacks while on Morag (she has a passive that boosts auto attack speed, otherwise I'd put an Ether Cannon on Zeke or Nia). Perdido's literally the only blade that prefers to auto attack over using arts, so he's a special case.

[@Christopher-eq1rn]

Ehhh I disagree on bitballs I think that floren is really good and that dahlia is too situational

[@dawn6316]

Hmm... I agree with most of your list, except I would replace Boreas with Dahlia, and Wulfric for Vale... Simply because crit damage is better than sheer damage multipliers

[@Lanoman123]

Phoenix 4668 dude just no... Vale does the bets damage and Boreas not only adds a ton of HP to his driver but also has VERY good healing cause it can heal overtime as well

[@Iz_zy2099]

My god the Ursula side quest is long and annoying but you basically become GOD once you finish it 100% so it is WORTH it
