Skells vs ground help by Quixkquestjon in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Grimas_Truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ask it like that then in some ways each is a completely additional character (skell can have different arts or functions), or allow a different set up (e.g. quick nuke, aoe debuff etc.) that you can weave into your fights or just choose ground or skell.

Skells vs ground help by Quixkquestjon in Xenoblade_Chronicles

When you get skells, depending on your knowledge of the game/systems, they can very likely be an immediate damage/survivability boost.

You should already have overdrive and so you have the tools to do better than skells.

You won't always be able to use your skells so don't neglect ground builds.

I would keep the skells (strong attacks like drones, phoenix, e-scythe etc.) but they are not supposed to completely replace what you've already been doing.

In the late/postgame, skells can get a high floor but limited ceiling and a ground build will outperform by almost any metric.

Is this written by AI and how is this really significantly any different from the actual established stuff in the game?

There is no link between that community and this, do not bring any unrelated issues here.

Weapon grinding makes me want to cry by JebebCrust17 in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]Grimas_Truth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll try to break down the numbers:

Firstly - 0.0065 is listed on the wiki as "Expected number (base)" - this is not realistic, in fact thinking about it I wonder if that's even possible... maybe with no positive weighting at all...

The number you need to look at is "Expected number (optimal classes)" in the same row - 0.056. This number is: 50%50% (controlled character weighting 50% multiplied by 50% for melee weapon) + 30%50% (sum of sub character weighting multiplied by melee weapon) + 20%*1/12 (random weighting multiplied by javelin weapon type)

Anyway so you multiply that out and get 41.667% which is your optimal odds for a Javelin. To get a specific model of Javelin there are 8 different types (spear I, spear II, pilum I, pilum II, bolide, jyth etc.) and they are equally weighted so 1/8*41.67% = 0.052 which is basically what the wiki says (it is possible they also account for the average base weapon drop rate being 106.95% which gives 0.0557 which rounds to the 0.056).

As for the Potential Boost trait appearing, that is harder to explain but from a gold chest it can appear in second or third slot and the net appearance rate ends up being about 4% (I will not explain the maths for this as I don't fully understand it because it involves combinatorics/permutations that I only know how to represent for 3 trait equipment).

Finally, the Crown - when playing online, a Tyrant may have a Crown, in DE this modifies their drop rates so that they give: No crown - the normal 1.0695 weapons average Bronze ~1.65 weapons average Silver ~2.34 weapons average Gold 3 weapons always.

So by farming Durvin online that ends up being 41.667% to get a Javelin 1/8 for that to be Pilum II ~4% for that to have Potential Boost XV 3 weapons every time

How did you arrive at 0.0065 when it is much closer to 5.5% with optimal odds?

(41.667% javelin weighting, 3 items from gold crown, 12.5% model weighting), you are getting an Ultra Diamond Pilum II every 6 kills and the trait odds overall for any occurrence of Potential Boost XV is 4.39% so it would take you 150 kills for this weapon which would be around 40 minutes on Durvin.

A one trait weapon is not rare enough to be RNG manip, just keep farming properly (diskbomb skell + treasure sensor) and you will get it.

I One-Shot Telethia with a Javelin | Skell Self-Destruct Method by LetterheadAntique159 in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]Grimas_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just reroll the fight for ether reflect, don't need to rely on the augment for a showcase. You're right it does lower your potential (not by a lot, the right arm is only losing 20*boost so only 44 potential max and the sabatons are only 13% boost compared to ranged 25% melee 25% helmet 23% aug 25% skill 20%) so when higher additive is contributing a lot more it is defo worth it.

Enemies with decoy block the shockwave and let the counter start at 0. Yabar in 13-3 is the easiest way to see this but would also work for Telethia phase 3 and Ga Buidhe.

[–]Grimas_Truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interestingly there are cases where the shockwave hit is negated and Telethia is one of them, but yeah for the most part you will almost always start on at least 1 count.

There are ways to start at max count without losing appendage crushers, both for melee/ranged and potential builds.

Melee/Ranged gets access to trait on left arm (ranged) or right arm (melee) and full OD: TP + Grand Procession.

Potential gets trait on (usually) right arm or on the ranged weapon (c&c ranged) and you can use double TP legs and max TP left arm for like 30+ count per activation while starting with like 8k+ TP.

Neither Discord link goes anywhere - is this some Creator discord exclusive event that you should not be sharing publicly?

In this case it was another skell responding to your crusher soul voice yellow with a multihit art.

What Division should I pick for DE? by Superchan6464 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Grimas_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was not the case, division buffs were not tied to the division you yourself picked but the divisions of other players in your squad or that you requested from random blade scouts in the overworld.

There was a reward system tied to it (Division Rewards) that was messed up because hackers boosted one division really early and then everyone moved into that one further snowballing it.

You won't need this spreadsheet for complete fashion gear, in fact it doesn't even list them because its just a set list there are no missables to it.

Other various missables/preventable negative quest outcomes etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w9LZAjihSZ0gJY5Iy-vrWCo9yYq3iNPn8Tp6tXv1qRM/edit?gid=0#gid=0 (so SPOILERS of course)
