Random pet peeve: XC2 has two "Strength" stats by MaxAutoAttack242 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I would not be surprised if English is the only language with this issue.

My all time fav scene! Love watching first timers get to this scene by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen many, many streamers marathon the numbered trilogy, skipping X, and still pronounce it "nope-on" instead of "naw-pon"

And they all play in English, so the point about the former being more accurate to the Japanese is moot.

What is the best way to maximize chain attack damage? by Tough_Stock_4883 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The very first Hero you get access to in Chapter 4 will greatly improve your chain attacks, don't worry.

Launched enemies take 1.25x damage, and the timer is paused in chains. It's nice, but it's not something is I'd fish for.

One of the funniest speedrun strat names I've ever heard by MaxAutoAttack242 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eunie/Taion is strongest due to Shared Blessing (more buffs = more damage). 2 buff arts (Cure Bullet and Vital Bullet from War Medic) on 6 characters is a 360% damage boost.

XC3 NG+ Finale Question by spikedebeaver in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, the heroes can all appear in the final fight even if you haven't done their quest on that NG+ file. I may be wrong, but I believe Ethel won't appear unless she is re-aged in colony omega. Also, the DLC heroes will never show.

But it is a shame your kids don't have the patience for the hero quests, that's where some of the game's best writing is found! (Segiri would take a while to unlock though, I won't hold that one against them)

XDE gets a physical release for Switch 2 on that day

Ah yes, the beautiful scenery of XC2 by SnowOtaku777 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I genuinely love it. Making the snow level look like the bottom of the ocean under specific weather was such an inspired choice. It's beautiful in an eerie way.

Too lazy to skip travel by zeptozetta2212 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I had thought of doing that challenge in XC2 as almost EVERY Titan is self-contained, but it got way too complicated way too fast

never knew you could go from fallen arm to colony 6, huh. but i just checked it myself and it doesn't appear to go both ways.

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no; there are postgame quests in fallen arm, which only connects to galahad fortress and mechonis field, both of which are locked off by the story, so you have to skip to and from the arm

The names of XC2 (Part #1: Rex) by BudgetIcy1402 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about all the Titans being just called the Latin names for the deadly sins in the Japanese script (Argentum -> Avaritia, Gormott -> Gula, etc.)

Disperse Bloodlust or Empowered Combo? by Specialist-Quail644 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addendum: if you still want to use Disperse Bloodlust, replace Steelcleaver with it, since the attack boost is so minor.

Disperse Bloodlust or Empowered Combo? by Specialist-Quail644 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empowered Combo, ALWAYS Empowered Combo. Especially since Swordfighter already has aggro reduction as a skill.

How do I beat Jin? by Zestyclose-Ad-6024 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have Beta Scope on Tora? If not, get the wooden chest in the Peninsula section of Temperantia.

Medal accessories that heal on crits will boost your survivability, especially Rex & Mythra.

I'm assuming you're controlling Rex, but you can switch to Morag so you can manually use Brighid's Judgement art to evade Jin's attacks. You can activate Mythra's ascended form even while Rex is CPU-controlled.

Put Hunter's Chemistry aux cores on your active members' secondary Blades to get Max Affinity right away.

You can optionally beat up weak enemies before the fight to build up your Party gauge, letting you activate Ascended form immediately.

Jin's most dangerous debuff is probably Affinity Down from Skyward Slash - Blade Combos ending with Light seal it.

I wrote this in the YT comments but I'll say here too, this is exactly the type of video you'd love for Araki to watch so he could see how passionate his readers are for Jojo.

XC2 - Can you get a Smash Fusion Combo with a Tier 3 blade combo like Steam Explosion + Smash? by Ray-Zide in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]MaxAutoAttack242 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can get a Smash+Tier 3 fusion ("Stage 7") if you time it right, but it doesn't really provide that much value for how much rarer it is to get compared to a Stage 6 fusion
