Xenoblade 2 |OT2| THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME!? DON'T FORGET ME!
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
A whole lot of random stuff, and challenge mode.
The official site recorded every single free/paid stuff super detailed.
(First time ever an official site for a game is useful)

maybe i missed the explanation, are some blades just destined to not have three aux core slots?
I think so? But this is also coming from a person who just discovered the third accessory slot after 180 hours.
You must toggle it from in game setting, same goes to English/Japanese VA, change anytime in game instantly.
*notice how I keep talking about Japanese VA. Many people were put off by the english VA, and the Japanese VA is so good, so if you're that kind of person, use it. IMO, many scenes were so much better thanks to the JP voice, the way they express certain emotion is just much better because Rex English VA can't yell properly.
It's largely Rex's voice, the rest are pretty good/fine, so if you can stand him, you should be ok.
But I LOVE some of the later female character voice in JP.
Turning off enemy aggression is an affront to Xenoblade.
It's not Xenoblade if a level 90 Monkey doesn't one shot your party in the opening area and that's that.

Just got to this part in Chapter 4 where you have to read Nopon writing on a green barrel, and of course I dont have the ability to do it lol. Theres a Merc Mission I deployed that takes 30 mins to complete, so I sent them out. Is there anything else I can do to speed things up?
Edit: Think im going to just let the merc mission complete while I play something on PS4 lol.

Oh. Saturn.de sells it right now for around ~73€ through their online store and ebay shop but unfortunately they don't ship outside of Germany.

Just beat a "Unique Enemy" from behind a closed door lol. Its the second time something like this has happened, but this time we were close enough that I could actually get the healing items dropped on the ground. Couldnt get away from him to actually open the door before getting aggroed.
Is it normal to die to an enemy the same level as me when I only have 1 character? Either I'm pretty bad or there is something wrong.
Also, I can have up to 3 blades, can I just focus on one or I have to upgrade all of them? Any reason to switch mid battle?
Lastly, I have some Legendary and Rare cores, any point in saving them?

The game said increasing your luck stat means better pulls, was that a lie?
I've avoided all XC2 threads after downloading the challenge mode as I wanted to work out how to get Shulk and Fiora on my own.
Just reading through the last few pages, I can't believe I completed all the challenges (on normal) in order in my quest to get them when I only really needed to do one! lol
Torna's Finest and Serious Showdown (I think that's the name) were bloody difficult.
Having said that, I've had a great time with it. I've really had to toy around with my team composition, aux cores, accessories and blade combinations to complete some of them.
I'll always have fond memories of Tiger! Tiger! IRL, as what seemed like a daunting challenge at first became quite easy after tinkering with Poppi QT Pi.
Making Morag nigh on untouchable, so much so she could essentially soak up the pressure from every single Torna member was good fun too.
I loved the one where you face off against three enemies of varying levels in one room and you get to essentially kill one for free, before the other two join in. The fun is working out who you need to take down first.
You really have to pay attention to spike damage, shackle and so on - way more than you do in the main game.
I've seen the odd person complain that combat becomes a bit samey (I disagree), but this does a brilliant job of leveraging every element of the battle system and introducing a load of new elements too.

I just completed all too, and I'm satisfied. To me they proved it's possible to extend combats not only with numbers.
I planned to buy only the physical edition in September but I don't regret my purchase, it's a good amount of content I would have been overwhelmed with the whole DLC/expansion. And the new stuff is juicy, I'm ready for a NG++ in higher difficulty :-P

Yes. Never attack an entire group of enemies when you're alone, you are an attacker, you will be getting healer and tanker soon and that's kinda where the game begins, so just power through the beginning. You can turn off enemy aggression to avoid high level enemies one shotting you. In Setting, Game Setting (the forth one), default is enabled, so just disable it.
And you will be juggling between 3 blades and managing both of your party members when you get a full party, so yes, every single person/blades in your party are extremely important because you get almost full control of them in a combat, you will understand why soon enough. The later parts of the combat is an entirely different experience after you start to unlock skills, faster recharge and full party. I can't stress this enough, but seriously, the combat is very, very, very different later on.
I wish I can just explain to you why and how it works in the later parts of combat but it's better for you to discover it, many people finished the game without even fully understanding the combat, so I'll just drop a few tips that you should be watching out for when you get the tutorial later on.
- Cancel attack, watch out for this skill, try to get this asap. It's named differently for every character, but same description.
- Blade Combos
- Driver Combos
Oh also, save your game. There's no auto save, game crash = good bye

99% of what you get will be common blades for sure, those with the white outer shell, you can just ignore those. Since you have a bunch of cores, spread out legendary cores/rare cores among your members, just use anything available. The game is pretty forgiving in this aspect, you don't really have to min-max, only engage heal blades for healer etc. Just mix and match whatever you want for now. Also always check affinity skill of your blade, it will automatically level up when criteria is fulfilled but you have to open that screen for it to apply. As for driver (character) affinity, those are manual, so upgrade those too, same goes to leveling up weapon skill, those will reduce cool down time, increase damage.
Yea, there's a lot of shit to look out for, hence the post game and people sinking in 200 hours +.
tl;dr
- Blade affinity are auto, but open up the screen to actually level up.
- Driver affinity are manual, upgrade those.
- Driver weapon enhancement are manual too, make sure to upgrade those.
And then there's aux core, accessories, yea.... slowly digest those, don't forget to manage your team members too, you can also play as them anytime, just press X in characters, you can adjust them around.
So, I just got the lucky core, and I'm wondering who I should give it to. I'm in chapter 5 with the 4th and 5th party members. 5th has Wulfric, while 4th still has nothing, though tbh, I'm still sticking to Rex/Nia/Tora. I got Vess on Nia, and managed to pull another healer (Kora, but she's also a electricity so I want to swap her out).
Other rare blades I have are Godfrey, Newt, Finch, Azami and Dagas, all on Nia. Edit: Oh, and Nim on Rex.

that blade is useful because it gives that character another piece of the driver combo.
Although its best use is probably on character 5 since it has a lot of skills with crit damage and you can use the boost damage to tank Augment to help sure up that character's DPS/Healing (Via Crit heal)
Edit:
Keep Kora on Nia since she has Launch
move Finch to 4 since she is a tank blade with agility boost and Open Lucky core on 5 because why not.
You won't need to open any random cores on 4 since 2 of the most useful blades aren't random and you will get them both by chapter 7.
probably do Praxis Quest and add her to 4 as a filler or progress the story further.
edit: Also don't open any more cores on Rex. (Pro tip)

Each time you do a driver combo, at each step the bar refills, it gives you more time ;-)
And that is where team mates, swapping blades comes into play.
You will be executing blade combos non stop later on when your skill cool down is a whole lot lower. Much later on you will be able to instantly recharge some of them on critical hits.
Then you need to plan out certain equipment for you to switch blade faster so you can switch away, charge special switch back, plan this and that, it's an endless amount of planning. I'm still swapping my equipment around everytime I'm doing different thing.
Any tips for endgame party make up? I finished the game, finished new game plus, got my party to level 99.. and that's pretty much it. Haven't played since then but was drawn back by the DLC but I am getting my ass handed to me in challenge mode (even on easy).
If you want to get all the rare blades farm common cores, and level those common blades as much as you can through pouch items, combat, and mercenary missions. You want to raise your characters four blade element attributes to level 10. Aside from each stat governing your chances of getting a blade of one of two elements, the higher the total of all four stats together, the higher your chances of getting a rare.
Tora with a crit/heal Poppi QTpi tanking is very very effective. If you invest in Poppi and get her high level parts she and tora become nearly indestructible. If you have the DLC then give Shulk to Morag and Fiora to Rex and gear them both to crit heal as well.
No. Was hoping to have a new tank by now. I can go back and do it though if need be.
Lol. Tora is never a bad link if u actually build him lol. He can literally solo most of the enemies.O_O
OK :( Thanks lol. Ill go do that then.
Is there a good guide expalining what upgrades to use on him from the stuff you get in Tora Tora?
Poppi QT Pi with critical tank build can make him stays alive even vs that ice cream guy.^_^ He just take all damage like a boss while ur Special 1 is to heal ur hp as soon as possible or Sp 2 to deal AoE damage to all enemies.^_^
Yeah but Tiger Tiger is not fun for everybody. And upgrade Poppi without this mini game is possible only in NG+. And the last form of Poppi is late in the story.
But definitively yes, I like Tora as a party member (I still don't like him as a character though). My favourite trio atm is still Rex/Tora/Zeke. Bosses are always controlled by drivers combo (I use a master scope accessory + Tora + Canons+Pandoria on Zeke to have a lot of breaks and launch, Rex can spam topple so it's really good). I had any problems on drivers in challenges for example. Torna members and the duo Jin/Malos were a walk in a parc even on normal difficulty and even without dedicated accessories. ^^

Break seals? Use chain attack lol.
Haha. I like Tora as party member and character lol. He is one hella perverted guy but he sure enjoy it a lot.^_^ Kinda honest to a fault kinda guy. Great friend to Rex too there.
On party, it seems we are the same lol. Rex, Tora and Zeke is my ultimate combi. They are just tooooo good.^_^
