My only issue with this class is... well, Alexandria has such amazing animations for her attacks, not to mention her battle stance. Taion and Noah, on the other hand, look like they are going full unga bunga. I wanted elegant crit blade, not "me smash with weird sword".
It’s kinda funny how clearly Monolith loves good ol Dame Alex. She’s the young, super successful and capable commander who is incredibly strong but much wiser and more observant than almost any of the other heroes, and also has one of the best in game classes. She’s basically an isekai protagonist given how op she is
That is actually my main complaint with Alex in general, they seemed to write her as some sort of "super cool always one step ahead of you no matter what" individual for no real good reason and it feels quite a bit forced
@@tomatop9197 the story humbles her a bit by the end, though. You're complaining about how she starts out instead of how she ends up. Characters tend to go through arcs, you know?
@@Gloomdrake Indeed. I loved learning how how she got utterly thrashed by Valdi. Granted, if you talk to Yuzet you find out it was a massive fluke, but still.
This is the class I'm using the most in post game to quickly farm materials and kill bosses. Easily one of my favorite classes so far for being simple and hitting crazy hard, without needing to set up any smash combos or anything.
For farming, wouldn't a low dmg repeated burst combo setup be better? Since every time you successfully burst, enemy drop items just like they've been killed. Just saying...
@@UltimateLordMonkey Yeah... I realized that and started doing it just recently. It's been a lot better, especially when farming non-unique mobs with really few spawns.
@@Masmix77 If you mean for burst farming, I run Sena on Ogre with break brooch and accuracy accessories to break/topple/daze, but mainly just to break. Then I have Lanz as my single tank on Guardian Commander, but anyone that can topple is probably fine. For the rest, I have 1 signifier, and 3 troubadours, and load everyone else up with topple/daze/burst arts/master arts, and capable hands. Troubadour hero too. Pretty much just about everyone can topple/burst/daze endlessly with art recharge, and I control Sena to break. You can probably optimize it more but I haven't really bothered to.
"so what did Monolith Soft do this time? The exact same thing". Good! We enjoy big numbers for big happy chemicals. I personally enjoy putting physical atk roles on Taion because of his chain order coming with a reduction to physical attack resistance and with a base 35 TP at the start so he seemed to me really good for that kind of setup.
It's really disappointing however that in the first cut scene that you see the weapon, it's used as an actually whip. Then we get..... What we got. They could have made it way better.
@@Canthereoup I still really like Brighid's version of the whipswords. They even make sense in universe since a Blade's weapons are simply an extension of the Blade themselves and as such shouldn't run into the durability problem most whipswords would realistically run into
I feel like break is good on this class because you can combine it with shield bash to do an instant topple with fusion, and its the only class that can even do that until late game.
I think just having an Ogre dedicated to break is better, then having a Seraph with topple and launch fused will run better. It’s been working wonders for me.
@@astraseven well there are limitations. The 2 arts (one master, one on the main class) have to be in order of the combo. So break with topple, topple with launch or daze, etc. You can’t go break with a launch just to skip to launch. Also whatever effect of the two goes 1st HAS to be an art on the main class. So break has to be on the main class with topple master art. Master arts take 2nd priority when fused. Another example: launch to smash. Launch has to be the art on the main class, smash the master art bc it comes 2nd
The class I was looking forward to the most before the game came out. Crit builds are fun and Alexandria has one of the best designs in the game (Miyabi being the other lol). So happy the class is fun. Big numbers are nice
Damn Incursor is strong. I’m actually going to hold off on using this after I get all the skills and arts maxed out for the characters I want to have use those skills and arts. It makes the game a little too easy, but I can’t deny I get a certain carnal satisfaction from doing an Aerial Slash/Hidden Thorn Fusion Art boosted by Power Charge and deleting half a health bar
I always love a class that has one of the "standard" dps master skill (critical strike, eye for weakness, fighting prowess) built in thier class skills. Hence my inclinations toward incursor/ flash fencer and ogre. Add to that how incursor's entire skills are useful (in fact one can say it's almost overkill on critical rate sometimes) vs some other attacker classes with 1 or 2 so-so skills. Great video for a great class!
I have been following you since my journey starting from XCDE. I still am amazed by the fact that every content you release optimizes my team greatly. I don't know when I'll stop being at awe with the way you optimize teams. Before I watched this, I was doing like 3M chain attacks purely by luck. Now, my normal chain attacks with Incursor class easily gets 3.3-3.5m bare minimum. (Beginning of Chapter 4).
Just wanted to say thank you for the guide. I used this one, not fully optimized (not max lvl gems, not max lvl classes, missing some Master Skills), and i managed to clap the superbosses!
THANK YOU for explaining Ultimate Qigong. This whole time I thought it had diminishing returns on enemies with low physical defense. I am immediately replacing that skill that does 40% more when using physical arts (I forget its name) for Ultimate Qigong instead, on all my builds.
Best girl? Are you talking about Alexandria?! She was horrrrriiiibblleeee!!! And she had the WORST English voice acting in the entire game. Probably in the history of voice acting. 0/9999999999
These kids don't understand the allure of a successful business woman. She's a sugar mommy, a fucking CEO of all the colonies. She's got the wealth, the beauty, the brain and the connection to send you straight to commander position without opposition. She can kiss you goodnight AND do your taxes.
I prefer to use the Quick draw master art as it provides another evasive move, and does two hits- both dealing 540% when attacking from the front. Massive damage
i kinda wish the incursor sword was more like an Ivy Whip sword. Also definitely had a fun time learning how crazy the AI took aggro with this class early on lol
Incursor is so fun to use. The class alone can do the whole smash combo by itself. By far, given it's launch damage modifiers, the smash finisher is just insane and satisfying to hit. I run incursor with: Glitter stream paired with shield bash, guarantees topple if manages hit (plus adds to talent art Guage) Soaring temptest paired with aerial slash just insta launches the enemy frame 1 and can be quickly cancelled into the smash talent art. Cross impact paired with sidewinder because, vanilla attacker stuff + talent art gauge. In less than 5 seconds you can do the whole combo by yourself and since smash causes AoE damage, then fights don't last that long. For more effectiveness, breakogre with launch focused party and enemies can be smash combo locked, all by yourself. Add troubadour and happy smashing, even if you die by aggro
Similarly, Incursor can all do a whole Burst combo by itself too. Same setup with Shield baseh, but you can attach something like Sidewinder with Myopic Screen, and then use Demise Thrust on talent art. It's definitely a little slower and the timing is a little tight, but it does exist. The fact that this class by itself can accomplish both break combos on its own is ridiculous and I'm surprised they even let Incursor get away with this.
Is there any reason you can't put Flashback, Shield Bash, Soaring Tempest and Saber Strike on any Agnus class, and Glitter Stream, Crimson Lance, Mighty Beat and Pressure Drop on basically any Keves class?
@@JoeThomas-lu6fy Nothing's stopping you from doing that, but that would require all of your master art slots + talent art slot. You're dedicating the character entirely to doing solo smash combos somewhat inefficiently too since talent art building can be rather slow depending on the character. What makes Incursor bonkers is its ability to instantly topple an enemy with Glitter Stream + Shield Bash. You're accomplishing two steps in a break combo in one move since the effect of master arts comes after the class art's effect is resolved. This can give you a lot of leeway in chain attacks since the enemy's been toppled in one motion. Compared to devoting your entire smash combo on one character, which necessitates them to do every step of the combo themselves one at a time. (Plus, talent arts can't be done in a chain attack. Making the Keves version not viable in chain attacks.)
These guides have been great Enel, right now I've just been grinding the post game and doing side quests I missed out on but seeing the numbers that can be hit is exciting. Also do you think Alexandria's sword looks a bit like a shrunken down version of Zeke's purple lightning dream smasher, at least the silhouette
Her weapon is officially called "Exponential Edge," which on top of being very self-aware in how she does more damage as she does damage could bring to mind "Big Bang Edge." P.S. Xenoblade 2 weapon classes are distinct from the weapons themselves. While Pandoria's weapon _class_ is Big Bang Edge, her default _weapon?_ Purple Lightning Edge.
Love the guides man. Have been watching since the xenoblade 2 vids! What are your thoughts on best ouroboros shared skills(forgot what they called them)
My favorite class. Noah has been my main dps monster on this ^^ Been trying out the Lone Exile's Gale Slash since its 5 hits so it might give faster Adroit Blade stacks? Not sure if its on damage instances or per art. Then again soaring tempest also is a multihit art
I absolutely love this class and I’ve been using it in Noah since I got the class. I was also able to get an 83% crit rate on him I have since changed my build but that was still fun
The set I'm suggesting is probably not the best, but it is funniest. Using the skills Frenzied combo and Dance of Barrages will basically allow you to spam arts nearly indefinitely. Pair this up with a power charge spamming Signifer and art recharging Troubadour and you'll shred through boss HP... if you don't die from the shear amount of aggro your getting.
7:02 This is something I've been wondering about for a while watching your videos. You seems to have a great distain for debuffs in this game but you are recommend hidden thorn on basically every physical attacker. According to you, the bleed will almost never go through (even if you have skills to support it) and the 150% total damage buff from something like fatal bite should far outclass the extra 100% base power from hidden thorn and its on a much shorter cooldown.
Not that it's necessary but one strat I saw someone talking about is leveraging the combined relatively low aggro value + innate higher crit autos to charge up skills and then using the Martial Artist talent art to dump damage, I dunno if it's better than spamming but Incursor is definitely a job that can run that sort of setup. They're also able to run the refund art recharge on crit passive and leverage something like tyrant bite to basically get a positional even from a Keves art every few seconds.
I run incursor on Noah with unlimited sword and it's very fun, the crit items I have for lucky seven mode is overkill on incursor but min maxing is not needed when signifer exists
Just would like to know if you will do another build guide for soul hacker. Last time you just only discuss how strong as a attacker. Would like to know if there is another build as defender or healer.
Assuming crit damage is additive with itself with the gem and passive for c dmg, and the long animation of the art. Wonder if worth runing over another atk art
This is kinda random but I think a hero tier list would be helpful for people. Just knowing how effective hero’s are generally in and out of chain attacks. I guess just bringing Ashera all the time works too though lol.
question, how do you unlock the party attack skills? also, I keep finding more extreamly good Heroes for Chain Attak, there is Fiora that can give you 2 additional orders and also Seguiri, that can, and will, make sure you reach Amazing ratting round 2 at minimun for the rest of the chain... question2, is Seguiris order % or Percentage points?
Incursor is my favorite class I haven't optimized it in any sense other then getting a high crit hit rate I don't know how high it can get but at level 94 with Noah I have a 88% chance to crit I run as accessories thermo headgear for 17 percentage point boost to crits Mercurii Rings for 60% boost to crit Saturni Ring for an attack boost For skills Cypher edge Critical Strike Ultimate Qigong and Gems Empowered Combo (I only use fusion arts never arts by themselves) Steady Striker and Analyze Weakness with Arts I have Glitter Stream with Hidden Thorn Aerial Slash and Cross Impact Sidewinder and Demolition (hoping I can get that bypass to defense Idk if that does anything with crits) It is not optimized to do anything other then get crits on every hit while I wait for my arts to recharge I don't expect anyone to use this class the way I do but here's hoping someone can optimize what I did if they want
The "Crit" class I have fallen in lvoe with, besides the Full Metal Jaguar just cuz of the name and guns. I hope one of the DLC waves gives us a hero with a universal unique weapon, like Bridget's YoYo from Guilty Gear Strive. xD
I was running like 3 FMJs when I got access to Incursor (super early actually because I'm a wacko that explored the high level areas immediately), and ever since I got Incursor, I either was running an Incursor or wishing I was running an Incursor. Fun class + big damage = hard mode annihilation.
I little bonus fact: in this game block rate and crit rate are able based on level but no matter what level you are you'll always get that 100% crit rate with incurser as long as the class rank is 20 and the enemy is launched!
You probably know it already but since they didn't show up in your "all superbosses" video I thought I'd tell you anyway. There is a duo of lvl 102 monsters (King Krawkin & Conqueror Deepwan) in "Demihuma Gutter" at the end of the "malevolent hollow". It's located in a cave at the "searing strand" (geothermal zone in erythia sea). A really long cavern filled to the brim with lvl 96-100 monsters. Correct me if I'm wrong but since they are lvl 100+ & unique I thought they'd count as superbosses. On the map "searing strand" is located just to the right from where you first enter the erythia sea by boat. A little below and then to the right of Vinisog Holm.
The second that I was able to use Incursor on Noah and Sena, I immediately leveled them up to 10 on them both. I liked running Infinity Blade on Noah with this, rather then *Spoiler Talent Art*, because it recharged faster, and that Power Multiplier is JUICY. Also because I’m not sure if the Crit Rate of Incursor passed on to *Spoiler Talent Art*, so I didn’t bother.
@@themonkeyman2910 I mean the first thing I thought when I saw it was that we better get to have it as a class weapon. And it’s not like the aegis true form where nothing even hinting at it appears before launch. But that’s me.
I do have one question, when you do fusion art with cross impact + whatever damaging Art X, does art X get the bonus damage from power charge instantly ? I guess not because it would be too strong in chain attacks ... right ?
so wait actually confused about something now that i think about it. If fatal bite has a 150% positional modifier, wont it always deal more damage than Hidden Thorn in chain attacks since positional always apply? If that's the case3 isn't fatal bite just straight up better?
I haven't watched all of these guides yet, but I recall you saying that Noah's, Eunie's and Taion's Ouroboros order are the best ones for damage and I'm still a little lost on that. Which one should I always try to go for?
Ooooh ok so I was just getting confused on the arts for which is good. Yeah when you're running ogre no real need to have other breakers especially when this is basically a pure DPS class
I would like to see a lone exile build. I had a funny thought that it can run wide slash, aerial slash and jackal claw and have all its fusion give evasion. Can Gemini strike for even more evasion. Probably not optimal but funny. I also realised from this that the only evasion keves art is on fmj because there aren't any evasion arts in xc1 but there are evasion arts in xcx.
how does he keep aggro off of him? i feel like i’m having an issue where i always get aggro and die before i can do anything cause the damage gets so much higher than everyone else
I’m still learning a lot about the nuances of this game but I remember thinking Ultimate Qigong had a typo in the description because of how obviously insanely broken that is lol
Anyone know which UM drops ceramic belts? Trying to get some more copies for my tanks. In exchange, here are some of the other good ones I've remembered Circlet of Enlightenment - Wicked Wolf Aranqui, level 70, Aetia Thermo Headgear - Besieger Sheritt, level 49, Pentelas Break Brooch - Blazing Karlos, level 40, Syra Hovering Reefs area Solid Weak Guard - Mobile Vespa, level 41, Velites enemy in first floor of a spoiler area
Foolhardy Saide iirc. You can find a pretty good list of accessories and which UM drops them on game8 but it's missing this one, however I'm pretty sure I dropped some Ceramic Belts from Saide while farming materials from gems. It's a rhinon in Cadensia
Watching this showed me one thing that i glanced over early on, you can choose who goes next in the chain order. I am lv 50+ in this game and i just noticed this now 💀
I didn't know hard mode affected the durations of some things, I thought it was just damage and health related. Is that mentioned anywhere or was it just something empirical that people figured out? Guides are great as always, keep it up! The Stalker class is something I'd like to see a guide on since it seems differently paced.
I just wonder if you will make a video of thing to do before doing new game plus like in the first game ? When I saw the kit of the class, I knew it will be Stier just because of his critical rate
well there's not really any benefits to NG+ that I know of so I'm not sure if there's much reason to do NG+ currently. Maybe I could make some kind of completion checklist video?
When do you get this class? I'm in Chapter 5 and have already had my 1st encounter with the hero, done all 4 of the subquests to get her (Fought, defeated and discussed her 4 generals) and the game still won't let me into the colony nor has it given me her hero quest. Does it open up more through the story or am I just doing something wrong?
Hi Enel, is there a difference if I use a class to a different character? Or who's the best character to fill in each class? I'm planning to use Incursor, Ogre, Signi, troubadour, lone exile and zephyr.
Maybe a bit late, but it dosen't matter too much. The stat changes between characters aren't THAT major, so it's really whoever you feel like! I personally like Incursor on Noah.
Honestly its nice to use the obviously best strategies in the game, but I've been enjoying using some lesser setups. Using a combo of Seraph and Machine Assassin is very interesting when you get it to work. Seraph can set Bleed and Blaze arts and run Rage Amulet and the Bleed amulet which increase bleed and blaze damage by 300%. You can then use a Stalker to hit for some insane damage with standard crit setup. Its less of an individual build and more of a party constitution. Running two troubadors and getting fast recharge up makes it pretty fun to use against some unique monsters. Havent tried it against the super bosses. But you can get the Blaze and Bleed ticking for 500k-700k each. Its very powerful and feels fun to do. Thats what I love about the postgames. Its fun to setup the ungabunga stuff like Incursor, Ogre, FMJ. But the other niche builds are even more fun and you feel more accomplished for coming up with them. Cant wait to see all the stuff the community comes up with before December.
i found that in every newgame plus file you can recollect the legacy of the 7 items. so i imagine when challenge mode comes out in the dlc people will have restarted multiple times
Me yesterday: I should request an Incursor guide, was high on the tier list, sounds fun *never actually commented it* Enel: I literally read minds you see
Can't wait to unlock this class on the rest of my characters! I've been liking it on Taion but I really want to try it out on Noah. I keep getting more excited the more I realize there's not a single bad class in this game
@@0videoboy0 I've heard some people say that, and I haven't been loving it so far, but the weapon and animations are almost cool enough to make up for it!

@@PyraXadon So the Incursor is best at the Smash combo, but the original comment said it alone could do it independently, which isn't true.
thanks to Incursor and Seraph I got a 134 million chain attack on normal.
they busted
Wild timing, just unlocked this hero class about an hour ago
So proud of Miyabi for becoming the new face of Enel
My favorite class of the game
Thanks enel
I ran into that superboss today. I had no idea what I was getting myself into :P
Been waiting for this one!
These guides have been great Enel, right now I've just been grinding the post game and doing side quests I missed out on but seeing the numbers that can be hit is exciting. Also do you think Alexandria's sword looks a bit like a shrunken down version of Zeke's purple lightning dream smasher, at least the silhouette
Yeah it's a similar type of sword
Her weapon is officially called "Exponential Edge," which on top of being very self-aware in how she does more damage as she does damage could bring to mind "Big Bang Edge."
P.S. Xenoblade 2 weapon classes are distinct from the weapons themselves. While Pandoria's weapon _class_ is Big Bang Edge, her default _weapon?_ Purple Lightning Edge.
You're awesome! Really good quality content
Love the guides man. Have been watching since the xenoblade 2 vids! What are your thoughts on best ouroboros shared skills(forgot what they called them)
im glad to see my feeling from my casual playthrough being confirmed.
My favorite class. Noah has been my main dps monster on this ^^
Been trying out the Lone Exile's Gale Slash since its 5 hits so it might give faster Adroit Blade stacks? Not sure if its on damage instances or per art. Then again soaring tempest also is a multihit art
Just got this class today, so this guide is out on time
I absolutely love this class and I’ve been using it in Noah since I got the class. I was also able to get an 83% crit rate on him I have since changed my build but that was still fun
The set I'm suggesting is probably not the best, but it is funniest. Using the skills Frenzied combo and Dance of Barrages will basically allow you to spam arts nearly indefinitely. Pair this up with a power charge spamming Signifer and art recharging Troubadour and you'll shred through boss HP... if you don't die from the shear amount of aggro your getting.
7:02 This is something I've been wondering about for a while watching your videos. You seems to have a great distain for debuffs in this game but you are recommend hidden thorn on basically every physical attacker. According to you, the bleed will almost never go through (even if you have skills to support it) and the 150% total damage buff from something like fatal bite should far outclass the extra 100% base power from hidden thorn and its on a much shorter cooldown.
Incursor seems pretty cool. I should get around to unlocking it.
Was waiting for this fine 1
Not that it's necessary but one strat I saw someone talking about is leveraging the combined relatively low aggro value + innate higher crit autos to charge up skills and then using the Martial Artist talent art to dump damage, I dunno if it's better than spamming but Incursor is definitely a job that can run that sort of setup. They're also able to run the refund art recharge on crit passive and leverage something like tyrant bite to basically get a positional even from a Keves art every few seconds.
I run incursor on Noah with unlimited sword and it's very fun, the crit items I have for lucky seven mode is overkill on incursor but min maxing is not needed when signifer exists
Just would like to know if you will do another build guide for soul hacker. Last time you just only discuss how strong as a attacker. Would like to know if there is another build as defender or healer.
Assuming crit damage is additive with itself with the gem and passive for c dmg, and the long animation of the art. Wonder if worth runing over another atk art
Thanks so much for this!
This is kinda random but I think a hero tier list would be helpful for people. Just knowing how effective hero’s are generally in and out of chain attacks. I guess just bringing Ashera all the time works too though lol.
I have a plan for that soon actually
question, how do you unlock the party attack skills?
also, I keep finding more extreamly good Heroes for Chain Attak, there is Fiora that can give you 2 additional orders and also Seguiri, that can, and will, make sure you reach Amazing ratting round 2 at minimun for the rest of the chain... question2, is Seguiris order % or Percentage points?
Incursor is my favorite class I haven't optimized it in any sense other then getting a high crit hit rate
I don't know how high it can get but at level 94 with Noah I have a 88% chance to crit
I run as accessories
thermo headgear for 17 percentage point boost to crits
Mercurii Rings for 60% boost to crit
Saturni Ring for an attack boost
For skills
Cypher edge
Critical Strike
Ultimate Qigong
and Gems
Empowered Combo (I only use fusion arts never arts by themselves)
Steady Striker
and Analyze Weakness
with Arts I have
Glitter Stream with Hidden Thorn
Aerial Slash and Cross Impact
Sidewinder and Demolition (hoping I can get that bypass to defense Idk if that does anything with crits)
It is not optimized to do anything other then get crits on every hit while I wait for my arts to recharge I don't expect anyone to use this class the way I do but here's hoping someone can optimize what I did if they want
The "Crit" class I have fallen in lvoe with, besides the Full Metal Jaguar just cuz of the name and guns. I hope one of the DLC waves gives us a hero with a universal unique weapon, like Bridget's YoYo from Guilty Gear Strive. xD
I was running like 3 FMJs when I got access to Incursor (super early actually because I'm a wacko that explored the high level areas immediately), and ever since I got Incursor, I either was running an Incursor or wishing I was running an Incursor. Fun class + big damage = hard mode annihilation.
Good luck not dying from all that aggro tho 😂
Are you going to do a video/videos about Chain Orders and heroic chains ?
I little bonus fact: in this game block rate and crit rate are able based on level but no matter what level you are you'll always get that 100% crit rate with incurser as long as the class rank is 20 and the enemy is launched!
You probably know it already but since they didn't show up in your "all superbosses" video I thought I'd tell you anyway. There is a duo of lvl 102 monsters (King Krawkin & Conqueror Deepwan) in "Demihuma Gutter" at the end of the "malevolent hollow". It's located in a cave at the "searing strand" (geothermal zone in erythia sea). A really long cavern filled to the brim with lvl 96-100 monsters. Correct me if I'm wrong but since they are lvl 100+ & unique I thought they'd count as superbosses.
On the map "searing strand" is located just to the right from where you first enter the erythia sea by boat. A little below and then to the right of Vinisog Holm.
I love this class to death, to the point where I even managed to get through the quest to get it underlevelled. It was hard, but SO worth it!
The second that I was able to use Incursor on Noah and Sena, I immediately leveled them up to 10 on them both.
I liked running Infinity Blade on Noah with this, rather then *Spoiler Talent Art*, because it recharged faster, and that Power Multiplier is JUICY.
Also because I’m not sure if the Crit Rate of Incursor passed on to *Spoiler Talent Art*, so I didn’t bother.
Is the draw sword really a spoiler? Especially if infinity blade isn’t.
@@rexthewolf3149 Well, we get Infinity Blade quite a bit earlier then Draw Sword, so I just went off of that.
@@rexthewolf3149
Honestly, saying that there is a spoiler talent art is already a specific spoiler, so it seems a little silly to me
@@themonkeyman2910 I mean the first thing I thought when I saw it was that we better get to have it as a class weapon. And it’s not like the aegis true form where nothing even hinting at it appears before launch. But that’s me.
Won't you die often tho from all that aggro?
I do have one question, when you do fusion art with cross impact + whatever damaging Art X, does art X get the bonus damage from power charge instantly ? I guess not because it would be too strong in chain attacks ... right ?
It doesn’t. Class art is cast before master art
how do you unlock more talent arts? I only got 1 for all characters except noah who has his unique one from story.
so wait actually confused about something now that i think about it. If fatal bite has a 150% positional modifier, wont it always deal more damage than Hidden Thorn in chain attacks since positional always apply? If that's the case3 isn't fatal bite just straight up better?
My favorite part of this class is how Alexandria’s sword kinda looks like the ol zekenator’s. It sorta takes you down memory lane in a weird way
I haven't watched all of these guides yet, but I recall you saying that Noah's, Eunie's and Taion's Ouroboros order are the best ones for damage and I'm still a little lost on that. Which one should I always try to go for?
Can you make a video about heroes in the future? Ashera is obviously very strong, but I’m interested what your thoughts about other heroes like Fiona.
Ooooh ok so I was just getting confused on the arts for which is good. Yeah when you're running ogre no real need to have other breakers especially when this is basically a pure DPS class
I mainly use noah with capable hands to get his mode ult so can I use this class instead of his base class?
I would like to see a lone exile build. I had a funny thought that it can run wide slash, aerial slash and jackal claw and have all its fusion give evasion. Can Gemini strike for even more evasion. Probably not optimal but funny.
I also realised from this that the only evasion keves art is on fmj because there aren't any evasion arts in xc1 but there are evasion arts in xcx.
how come you dont get a cinematic for the talent art? is that something post chapter 4 (im not that far yet haha)
Is there any way to tell when a hit is a crit besides just knowing how much damage the attack normally does?
how does he keep aggro off of him? i feel like i’m having an issue where i always get aggro and die before i can do anything cause the damage gets so much higher than everyone else
Does characters ouroboros form affect which characters you set as heal/atk/def?
I’m still learning a lot about the nuances of this game but I remember thinking Ultimate Qigong had a typo in the description because of how obviously insanely broken that is lol
Incursor and Flash Fencers are my go to attackers in the party, i love them so much
Do you think fiber wraps would be better than the white brooch for chain attack damage on a launched enemy? Or is the defense bypass that much better?
hard to say for certain but there's a lot of additive damage already and cutting defense can give a pretty large damage increase.
Anyone know which UM drops ceramic belts? Trying to get some more copies for my tanks. In exchange, here are some of the other good ones I've remembered
Circlet of Enlightenment - Wicked Wolf Aranqui, level 70, Aetia
Thermo Headgear - Besieger Sheritt, level 49, Pentelas
Break Brooch - Blazing Karlos, level 40, Syra Hovering Reefs area
Solid Weak Guard - Mobile Vespa, level 41, Velites enemy in first floor of a spoiler area
Foolhardy Saide iirc. You can find a pretty good list of accessories and which UM drops them on game8 but it's missing this one, however I'm pretty sure I dropped some Ceramic Belts from Saide while farming materials from gems. It's a rhinon in Cadensia
@@nullasenzanome9553 Yup. Can confirm he drops them, plus crystal earrings. Thanks for the info!
Learning the topple art & stacking it as an additional fusion art with the break & topple combo is the best when's the Zeon Guide though?
probably soonish lol
Watching this showed me one thing that i glanced over early on, you can choose who goes next in the chain order. I am lv 50+ in this game and i just noticed this now 💀
I didn't know hard mode affected the durations of some things, I thought it was just damage and health related. Is that mentioned anywhere or was it just something empirical that people figured out? Guides are great as always, keep it up! The Stalker class is something I'd like to see a guide on since it seems differently paced.
it's pretty easy to see when you time it side by side
From where do I get these Master Skills... which Class do I need to have leveld to 10 to unlock them please?
I just wonder if you will make a video of thing to do before doing new game plus like in the first game ? When I saw the kit of the class, I knew it will be Stier just because of his critical rate
well there's not really any benefits to NG+ that I know of so I'm not sure if there's much reason to do NG+ currently. Maybe I could make some kind of completion checklist video?
When do you get this class? I'm in Chapter 5 and have already had my 1st encounter with the hero, done all 4 of the subquests to get her (Fought, defeated and discussed her 4 generals) and the game still won't let me into the colony nor has it given me her hero quest. Does it open up more through the story or am I just doing something wrong?
is there a video on how aggro works on 3 ??? or all the xenoblade games in general
There's a thing that I don't understand. Ultimate Quigong affects the entire party or only the one who has the skill equipped?
What if ****spoiler**** you use this class with Noah and use draw lucky seven does it keep the class stats aka the crit rate and damage
Hi Enel, is there a difference if I use a class to a different character? Or who's the best character to fill in each class? I'm planning to use Incursor, Ogre, Signi, troubadour, lone exile and zephyr.
Maybe a bit late, but it dosen't matter too much. The stat changes between characters aren't THAT major, so it's really whoever you feel like! I personally like Incursor on Noah.
We needed this.One of the best attacker classes
Honestly its nice to use the obviously best strategies in the game, but I've been enjoying using some lesser setups. Using a combo of Seraph and Machine Assassin is very interesting when you get it to work. Seraph can set Bleed and Blaze arts and run Rage Amulet and the Bleed amulet which increase bleed and blaze damage by 300%. You can then use a Stalker to hit for some insane damage with standard crit setup. Its less of an individual build and more of a party constitution. Running two troubadors and getting fast recharge up makes it pretty fun to use against some unique monsters. Havent tried it against the super bosses. But you can get the Blaze and Bleed ticking for 500k-700k each. Its very powerful and feels fun to do.
Thats what I love about the postgames. Its fun to setup the ungabunga stuff like Incursor, Ogre, FMJ. But the other niche builds are even more fun and you feel more accomplished for coming up with them. Cant wait to see all the stuff the community comes up with before December.
i found that in every newgame plus file you can recollect the legacy of the 7 items. so i imagine when challenge mode comes out in the dlc people will have restarted multiple times
What about dexterity boosts or critical rate up boosts?
Great guide, but im also wondering when youll do.machine assasian? Its been one of my funnest classes to use
I'll cover all classes eventually
I'll never understand why they made SIDEwinder do more damage from the back as opposed to the side.
maybe a localization error? idk though
can't believe they didn't make Null Slash oneshot everything
Extremely fun class of an extremely fun hero. Outputs huge numbers to boot.
How does Smash work with stuff like crit? I take it it doesn't matter at all or enough since the mighty beat fusion art stuff is what you like to use.
smash cannot crit but smash damage is based on total art damage so it still helps.
Me yesterday: I should request an Incursor guide, was high on the tier list, sounds fun
*never actually commented it*
Enel: I literally read minds you see
Oh hi there 🤝
yeeaaaah you did the one I asked for
Can't wait to unlock this class on the rest of my characters! I've been liking it on Taion but I really want to try it out on Noah. I keep getting more excited the more I realize there's not a single bad class in this game
Thaumaturge (Teach's class) is pretty bad tho 😩
@@0videoboy0 I've heard some people say that, and I haven't been loving it so far, but the weapon and animations are almost cool enough to make up for it!
can you do a video about unlimited lucky seven?
i want to know the nuances of how it works
Good timing as I unlocked this like an hour ago.
Never played this game but the constant flip is hilarious
