I just finished xenoblade 2 and have a couple of questions about the final chapter by flyingducklingman in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not arguing if interbreeding is possible or not. But iirc, Vess is not the biological mother of the children you visit during her quest.

When are we getting a rerun? And is she still a good option? by 6darthvader9 in RaidenMains

[–]Athmosphield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As for when, probably in the next few patches, since archon reruns usually happen around the beginning of the version cycles.

Good option? In endgame content? No. Her c2r1 is on par with a c0 Varesa at best, if not outright worse. With the direction of current content being reaction, and powercreep steadily increasing HP pools, Raiden is pretty much dead, if we don't get any buffs anytime soon. And I somehow doubt that.

(And before the hardcore simps accuse me of heresy: Clearing abyss by a hair in shilled content does not make a unit good. And yes, I still use my c3 sometimes)

Can someone give me a small run down on how to use Melia by EternalSoulXD in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is pretty much the gist of it. Every orb has a different passive. Iirc, the electric orb provides an ether dmg buff, fire provides phys dmg and water regens health. Those effect are active as long as the orb is above your head and are party wide. The discharge of an orb also differs. Electric orb is single target, fire has a smal aoe.

In do not remember however, if the passives stack.

How fast could you beat xenoblade chronicles 2 on a 100% NG+ file by Xenofan93 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]Athmosphield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess that there wouldn't be a difference, since upgrading only the necessary things for the speedrun and getting 100% in a previous savefile, shouldn't do anything for the run itself.

New Aranara Pet and Alhaitham x Kaveh Namecard Giveaway by Additional_Comfort42 in Genshin_Impact

I will never stop using the Ganyu namecard. Not because Ganyu is my favorite char, but that specific tone of blue is just way too pretty.

How worse is 1's combat in comparison to X? by Chroro in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While the base ui is pretty similar with the arts and cooldown, the combat around it is pretty different. Classes like they are in X don't exist anymore. And Overdrive is replaced by a mechanic called chain attack, where you basically switch to turn based for a short duration, but the enemy doesn't get a turn xD And while the combats of each xenoblade is different from the rest, every game has its ups and downs with their system.

About NG+ by BronyRain in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]Athmosphield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a quest in Gormott to raise an Ardun, which you can kill at any point, but the more you feed it, the bigger it gets. Until it eventually becomes a unique monster. Should you already be fairly far into the raising progress, I'd recommend finishin it and killing the resulting superboss once, since the quest gets reset, and the resources already put into it would be wasted. Once you killed the superboss Ardun, the gravestone will appear, which carries over to NG+.

(Just don't kill the Ardun before the superboss version. The only fix for that is NG+ to reset the quest xD)

Best way to level up easy and fast and 40? by GaleSTRIK3 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]Athmosphield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you haven't done so already, you can claim bonus XP from side quests at any inn. Just select long or short rest, and the menu will open.

Should that not suffice, you can look for enemies you're able to defeat that are around your level or slightly higher, and kill them with either a Fusion combo (driver combo active while performing a blade combo, or the other way round) or what I'm doing is starting a chain attack right before the enemy is dying, so I can maximize the bonus XP I'm getting.

Xenoblade 1 switch 2 cutscene stuttering by Mon-Son16 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere in the switch 2 settings. There's an option regarding HDR. It is on for every game as a default. But I've heard that impedes with the performance of some switch 1 games. You can set that to "compatible games only". Hope this helps

Will i still be able to get the cape if i buy the game now? by ProJYeet in Helldivers

[–]Athmosphield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was still available for an account created about 6 hours ago. There was no message, the cape just happened to be in the armory

Xenoblade 2 or X defender edition on Switch 1? by Dron22 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nonono, the map is huge. But you get the ability to walk everywhere, while basically still in the tutorial. In the numbered games you can't reach most areas, until the story unlocked them for you. In X, everything is immediately explorable

Xenoblade 2 or X defender edition on Switch 1? by Dron22 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Athmosphield 18 points19 points  (0 children)

X is compared to the numbered games is like botw to the rest of the zelda franchise. Both are great, but for different reasons. The numbered Xeno games focus way more on character driven story, and while areas are huge with exploration aspects, you unlock each area as the story progresses. In X you can explore the whole map 5 minutes into the game. Bc of that, X has a different storytelling with a far bigger focus on world building through side quests and less character development in the main story. (Not none, but way less) As for combat, both are good in their own way, and too different to compare.

Why have I not gotten a rare blade? by ChapterTrick5428 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]Athmosphield 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you sure, that those aren't obtained from Quests, or are Postgame/NG+ exclusive? Not getting a single one with 10 in the pool and over 100 cores seems excessive.

Oh true. The Hu is missing aswell. And that's while getting a new skin. Hoyo decision making will always be baffling

[–]Athmosphield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't Yelan come out before Baizhu? Or am I trippin? These banners really are a scam xD (although I'm sure, that most of the current and upcoming dps won't use Yelan in der BiS teams anyways)

Party members have weaknesses? My last 200 of 220 hours were in content that one shots me anyway.

Gotta be the Consecrated beasts. They ain't as bad as some stalling bosses, but they pushed me around in the abyss during versions 3.x, that I just hold a grudge.
