    About Appendage Crusher: the game doesn't reveal what appendages that you need for augment crafting until you defeat an enemy with that appendage (it might not even say unless you get it as a drop), and at least one enemy that you have to fight only spawns in a secret cave in Sylvalum.
    These are the appendages that you will use your reward tickets on: 1 Emerald Horn, 1 Shed Germivore Scales, 1 Mortifole Pollen, (you also need 1 White Cometite)
    People really undersell how much information the game hides from the player. New players wouldn't know what to spend those 124 tickets on.

      The game actually rewards you with the information by completing the quests which themselves force you to explore and give you access to all the secret areas.
      But the game doesn't tell you about the Overdrive mechanics enough for it to be useful. Granted, the superbosses are then a challenge, and giving out this mechanic removes all the fun of discovering it, but I think most people finished the main story without ever deeming Overdrive useful.
      And it's true the game is much more fun when you actually manage to do infinite overdrive. It happened to me once in a skell combat, it was amazing, I thought it was a bug.

      I think you mean materials, in place of appendages in this instance.
      To further elaborate, players definitely won't get Appendage Crusher augments until breaching well into Sylvalum, since only Sylvalum Germivores drop Shed Germivore Scales, and the Emerald Horns come from Xiphias, specifically the pink variety which live exclusively in Behemoth's Shadows (Eastern Sylvalum).

    • @shyrobot4643
      @shyrobot4643 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      ​@@SkilledYetTalentless The Emerald Horn is the appendage in this instance (and so, must be broken), but the rule follows for all materials you get from enemies, yes. You can get Germivore Scales in Noctilum as well.

    • @SkilledYetTalentless
      @SkilledYetTalentless 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      ​@@shyrobot4643 You can get Flowering Germivore Scales from the varieties in Noctilum, but not the Shed kind. It's the variation material for Germivores and you can tell the difference by their abdomens. The Flowering kind have lilac posteriors, whereas the Shed kind have teal.

      I refuse to give up hope on Xenoblade X: Remastered. It's either going to be announced with the "Switch Pro" or the "Switch 2". I have no idea what to expect out of a next gen switch, but the Switch Pro should run Xenoblade X like a champ. Of course, if you have a mid-tier graphics card (1080ti and up), you can emulate Xenoblade X with the graphics thru the roof, making it look like a PS4 title.
      The only other hope I have for that game is more content. I know its asking a lot... but I can hope, right?

    Mastering overdrive is the key to truly enjoying this game. When I replayed the game last year, I took the time to master overdrive and boy oh boy was it a rush when you start challenging those high level tyrants. Playing around with different builds and abusing reflect arts and reflect augments makes you feel so overpowered it's ridiculous. Another reason why I think the gameplay for this game is amazing.

    • @The_OPN
      @The_OPN 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@duelverse8815 there's a number of arts in the game that can reflect a single damage type, like Raijin and Astrolibrium. There's also a number of augments that will make that art reflect additional damage types.
      For Dadaan, you need to be able to reflect physical and thermal. Alternatively, you can just get 100% resistance to those two damage types to get the same effect. Ghost Walker won't work because he calls several dozen grunts that each have multi-hit attacks that make decoy arts worthless.
      These grunts do loads of damage but can't take a whole lot themselves, so you can use any AOE TP art to instagib most of them. Rinse and repeat to get a ton of class XP.
      Also note that Dadaan destroys your skell in 10 seconds, so you can't rely on it to attack/tank.
      For me, personally, I used a photon saber build with Astrolibrium. If you kill Dadaan fast enough, he doesn't summon reinforcements, so I used that with a skell to get the Reflect:thermal and Reflect:physical augments, then used Galactic Cataclysm to farm
      Less than an hour later, I had every class maxed out

    • @duelverse8815
      @duelverse8815 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheOPN OK so if I understand this right there’s an augment you can get that makes AstroLibrium (or Raijin) reflect the type of damage dadaan back at the enemies, So it can basically make you invincible.
      Then you use infinitely the responding ads of that fight to grind for class experience. And then you keep doing it until you max out every class.
      Correct me if I got anything wrong but that’s what it sounded like from your explanation. Also can you explain to me what damage type those enemies use as well as the augments I would need for this and how to get them?

    • @The_OPN
      @The_OPN 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@duelverse8815 Dadaan and his grunts use only physical and thermal attacks. Dadaan himself drops the reflect augments you need, so if you have a skell weapon that can kill him in one hit, that's a good way of getting them. Otherwise, just craft resist thermal and resist physical augments to tank him completely.
      The class EXP comes from using orange arts to kill his many underlings, which is why I used a photon saber for him. For this, you don't want to use your skell because you want to kill him slowly so he calls his reinforcements.

    When i think of overdrive i think of the time i got stuck on the final story boss on that fateful friday night. All Skells dead, Party members equipped horribly and me not knowing how overdrive worked. So i changed up my party. And died. I turned every option available to achieve better results. Nothing helped.
    But when experimenting with that 15 seconds buff feature, i started noticing that particular equipment and skills did things with it (keep in mind i've used it probably two times since unlocking it)
    So at saturday 3.A.M, after vaguely figuring out how skill sequences affect it, i slapped on skills that i deemed useless.
    Quess what happened: Beat that final chapter into submission.
    That was probably the dumbest i've ever felt in a game, and at the same time having 'mastered' such a powerful mechanic - that was probably the first and up until now the only time i felt true satisfaction in a game.

    Another easy infinite overdrive build for the early/mid game is essence exchange + geolibrium for the blast fencer/galactic knight class. Just craft a couple Max TP up augments, use geolibrium to regen your HP, and then essence exchange every time you need more TP to reactivate overdrive; just make sure not to essence exchange with 0 TP. Also, since both arts are for photon saber, you can use the ranged weapon of your choice.

    These XCX guides you recently released singlehandedly made my experience a million times more fun and engaging, learning infinite overdrive felt like learning how to ride a bike for the first time, pure excitement, I was giggling like a child after I killed my first high level tyrant.
    Although I've gotten to a point where I know overdrive well enough that Skells feel like a crutch now for people that didn't understand the combat (me in my first playthrough)
    so if you want could you make a Skell guide?
    You've already done enough and I don't expect you to do one, that won't stop me from figuring out Skells though, so the decision is all yours.

    The previous video was lacking Yoyyeno, so I'm glad to see The Man in action.
    Also, my favorite overdrive "build" to just do quests and stuff with is to have 5 "Overdrive: Gain TP" augments and the corresponding skill so that Overdrive doesn't cost anything to use. If you get an armor piece with any "Overdrive Count Up" trait on it, you can spam the overdrive button and give all your party members free TP while building your own count to max. Typically, I'll just stack a bunch of melee attack or something because potential is useless.
    (I feel like I need to make a disclaimer here that this is a joke because newer players might think potential might actually be useless... It's a super good stat, but you probably don't want to run potential AND melee or ranged attack as you're far better off choosing one of potential, ranged attack, or melee attack to focus on)
    Final Edit: I learned this strat from Rhuanjl (he made a bunch of X guides on youtube a while ago and on GameFAQs). His video outlining the strat in detail is in his video called "The Melee Build" or something along those lines.

    • @black1blade74
      @black1blade74 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One of the best pure melee builds is photon saber because essence exchange means you don't even need to worry about TP as long as you can keep your health up (astral heal helps!!).

      @@black1blade74 Before I used the one I was previously talking about, I used photon saber with Essence Exchange and used Geolibrium for my Aura. It never would matter how much TP I had starting a fight because Geolibrium would full heal in like 4 seconds, so I could go from 1 TP to HP TP every 4 seconds. Also, there's the bonus effect of being able to sit in the middle of lava without any danger of dying due to Geolibrium nullifying terrain damage.

One thing id like to contribute is that if you use blood sacrifice>return to mech>blood sacrifice you can quickly build your TP for a battle without waiting around for Blood Sacrifice's cooldown.
    I think a tutorial on how to battle with mechs in the game would be cool. I have no clue what I'm doing when I'm trying to pick parts for mine.
    So far all im doing is making sure my allies are in mechs when I charge in and pop out to infinite overdrive.

    @micaiuslucian 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    So let me see if I understand this...
    The use of overdrive is mostly based on which types of arts you're using. Usually you want to do a buff art before using either a melee, ranged, or debuff art since it doubles the counter gain they net you. Increasing counter is a big priority as it helps with basically everything in overdrive including increasing timer, which is done through aura and buff arts. Debuff arts also are major because they increase your TP based on the counter. If you're going to do any attack arts together (melee, ranged or debuff), it should never be a melee to a ranged or a ranged to a melee. And that's essentially the basics of overdrive?

    Recently I went back to Xenoblade X, partially cause of this video. I had stuck with one line of classes but switched to enforcer so I'd be able to try out that mastermind build. And today at rank 6 enforcer, I truly experienced overdrive for the first time and damn it was fun- I got to 77 count and it only ended cause I won the fight. I'm thinking once I take down the game's strongest enemies with the mastermind build, I'll do a lot more of my own experimenting and I'm excited. When I originally played X, there was no overdrive guide like this or any guides as comprehensive as your general combat guide so Im able to learn the game so well now without just a bunch of trial and error and that's awesome
