Tonight I’m gonna try to do a Perun solo + dead allies agility-stacking build to see if I can actually cheese Bringer of Chaos challenges Edit: Yeah, no, I underestimated Bringer of Chaos challenge missions lol
Fun fact! Pretty sure I've discussed this one before, so,,, whatever. Her, Godfrey, and Perceval have very different ideas on how to approach justice and one of the game's DLC quests *does* acknowledge it. That's where Godfrey calls Perun a masochist (first amazing thing I've seen him do or say)
I think there is a heart to heart with godfrey and zeke that gives him an existential crisis. He’s like “My passion for justice is burning, so why am I not a fire element. WHY AM I NOT A FIRE ELEMENT!”
@@anonymouss1270 lol, that's funny. I think monolith chose to give ice and dark to the justice-trio (not to be confused with the swords of justice) to juxtapose their own personalities ("the people seeking it are fiery and they aim to bring 'light' into this world, but the process is often times cold and dark" kinda vibes). I find that they executed this perfectly with Perun and Perceval (Perun could easily be light and fire imo. Perceval COULD be fire. This is only for the aesthetic, of course. Their current elements are ALSO for gameplay balance, which is important). Godfrey though... Godfrey's just very annoying and very pushy (so much so that his passion for justice is dulled for me). I'd make him earth element. Stubborn. Unmovable (not a compliment). Funnily enough, I'd say Godfrey is based more on an freeze-burn than just ice, so you could say his inspiration is... a weird word-play? Anyway, idk how this turned into me giving an analysis of Monolith + The artists they worked with's choices and to someone, but here you go 😭
Watching even the tougher enemies' HP bars melt in this game (like at 10:07), even with the weaker Blades, is honestly one of the most satisfying things. Holy moly is the combat system rewarding.
Perun is one of my favourite blades in this game! While Bloody / Demon Orb Perun is far from optimal, it is a fun use of her skill. With a Demon Orb, Diamond and Loincloth / Vambraces and you got yourself a very tanky, and self-healing blade. It's really fun seeing her take hits that under normal circumstances would KO any blade, or solo-ing superbosses all the while you are in no danger whatsoever. As stated before, it is far from optimal as the process is very time-consuming, but it's nice to see her excel in her one niche. Apart from her 16 hit Level 1 Special that is.
You didn't go over that if you put Perun, Newt, and T-Elos on the same team, the driver they are equipped on immediately suffers from "Crushed Pelvis" status and become incapacitated. It even works on Nia and Morag!
I feel like Perun is a blades whose skill design leans more towards the early game where auto attacks still have some value as a damage source because you need to use them more in the early parts of the game. She also sort of fits the role, or at least is designed to, of an emergency switch in if things are going sideways which is probably more useful in the early game to where you aren't building party meter as quickly.
I like Perun. You talk about a niche? You should do a Nuzlocke NG+ with her on Rex, a driver with one common blade that will die and the third driver capable of reliably and consistently drawing aggro. I'd watch that series. I'm sure it would be better than the 40ish minute one you did 😬
One of my favorites! Too bad she’s not very useful though. I really wish her passives were about her arts/specials and not auto attacks. The single Aux core slot doesn’t help either :(
"No one asked for Perun" Me in the Nim guide comments, who requested Perun :( I love Perun's design, she is probably my favorite gacha blade. It really sucks that she's not very good. I've tried Demon orb set-up, and its not too amazing, but I also don't have Perun at S+ yet. Maybe I'll try something with T-elos or Herald lol. Thanks Enel!
I know Perun may not be very good, but I really like her as a character, and she was one of the first Rare Blades I got so I'm always going to enjoy finding ways to use her. For example, she was really helpful when I was still figuring out how to use Herald, who kept dying - and both of them have very strong level 1 specials for Chain Attacks!
Late to the party with this, but would Perun work well on the Azami chain attack set up you showed off in her video? If Azami is in super mode, Perun is also in super mode and the level 1 is also a chain attack monster. Haven't tried it myself, so maybe there's a crucial detail I'm forgetting that makes this underwhelming
"Doesn't do much to set herself apart." Aside from having probably one of the most unique methods of unlocking her Affinity Chart, that is. I mean come on, one of them even requires salvaging Heavy Round Shields lmao.
Someone on the dev team clearly forgot how poorly auto-attacks scale in this game. Battle Plans would have to be at least a 1000% damage boost to be worthwhile.
I just got Perun today following your crystal farming guide, you’re awesome :D Now I just need one more blade to complete my waifu-dex, and it’s “Mrs hi I’m from Xenosaga and I’m also impossible to get”.
2:21 - OK THIS SHIT; I _swore_ during my entire first playthrough of XC2 with all the equipment split between "reduces/boosts arts aggro" and "reduces/boosts auto-attack aggro" that _surely_ there were different formulas for auto attack aggro and arts aggro. After all, AA Stealth cores reduce aggro by 30% and Arts Stealth reduces by 17%, but Arts do WAY more damage, so clearly auto attacks must generate a ton of proportional aggro to their damage, right? It wouldn't make sense otherwise. If I do 100 damage with an auto attack and 74,380 damage with an art, yet you won't just give me a "less aggro" item, then there has to be something going on. ...But... no. They really just left in XC1's Auto-Attack Stealth and Aggro gems and said "whatever, the players'll figure it out." boggles my mind to this day
Could Perun work on Morag with a Rex/Mythra evasion build and Dagas/Fiora/Shulk support? With Rex always sitting on 30% HP for the bonus evasion and never getting hit, Perun would always have the 250% damage increase. Plus, should she pull aggro the 40% damage reduction helps as well. Just food for thought.
I like Perun. She's the ice blade I have for Nia. Dunno why I haven't overdriven complete Ursula over to Nia. Maybe I just forgot about overdrives completely, and prefer to try and make things work on the drivers they start on. Like having Vess on Morag.
These blade guides are actually my favourite, the ones with the blades that I don’t remember but make me go “oh yea this was a cool blade that i forgot about”
What a cool blade. Its such a shame, theres literally no need for aggro reduction skills when your tank is already grabbing it all. At least auto attacks do something, and her last skill is just dumb…
Thanks for making a video on Perun. One of my favourite Blades (waifu) for the game. It sucks she's gimped on things since she has potential to be a very usable Blade. I'm still going to keep using Perun just because I just like her in general.
I got her during Chapter 3 on Rex and honestly never used her that much. I ended up giving her to Mòrag just because of the Smash art and sometimes I forget she exists just because she's not that useful when you can just use Patroka.
Unfortunately for Perun, her auto attack damage increase does not double the actual auto attack stat. But maybe it's for the better in terms of balancing the game
The only 2 blades I seen worth relying on auto attack is fiora and Oberona and even then despite auto attack spam being good you're going to be linking it into spamming arts anyways unless with Obrona you plan on getting party guage up asap
Are auto attack talents good in the game for cpu controlled heroes? Does the cpu cancel autos? If not I feel like auto talents could be good? Not sure tho just thinking
Why do you always recommend night vision and never sunlight eye? Aren't they the same effect just at different times of day? What, is it better to battle at night or something? Why?
Wished they would have added the greek warrior stuff indicated by her likes into her design, heavy round shield, ab armor, hopilte helmet, fancy greaves, could have took inspiration from Nephenee from FE9.
Yes!!! Been waiting for you to finally do a guide for her, so glad you read my comment. Now I can go about with my dream team of Elma, T-Elos, and Perun.
She was my first rare blade and I think she's kinda neat. Never thought she was super good or anything though. Perdido's a way better and cooler version of an auto attack set up, even though he's not particularly amazing either in the grand scheme of things.
Hey serious question, does Resurrection symbol revive your allies at less than 30%? Can you let your teammates die while you set up orbs and then chain attack with Perun to take advantage of Defender
The best part is when Nia summons her. She rolls the "R" in Perun, and it's wonderful
She may not be the most useful blade, but she was the first rare blade I ever pulled; so she's still special to me.
It's a shame that she isn't better she has one of the best Blade designs imo.
How?
@@Gamilieee What do you mean?
@@Gamilieee amazon lady with white hair? I like it
The physics on her are top tier
Tonight I’m gonna try to do a Perun solo + dead allies agility-stacking build to see if I can actually cheese Bringer of Chaos challenges
Edit: Yeah, no, I underestimated Bringer of Chaos challenge missions lol
This game has so many fetishes crammed in it, it managed to overshadow righteous dark skinned mom and I cannot forgive that.
No one asked for this but I have been waiting for it.
I actually been asking for it, if you check his last video you can see that Enel liked my comment about it.
If she could acc do damage that 16 hit level one would be sick
you made a reference to her heart to heart where she gets called a masochist lol
Fun fact! Pretty sure I've discussed this one before, so,,, whatever.
Her, Godfrey, and Perceval have very different ideas on how to approach justice and one of the game's DLC quests *does* acknowledge it.

Perun is definitely one of the most beautiful blades in the game
"Doesn't do much to set herself apart"
aside from being an Amazon. But seriously she was designed by the artist of Code Geass. That alone is awesome.
Isn't Japanese Perun voiced by Kallen's voice actress?
@@krissjames7276 yep. Ami Koshimizu.
holy shit I didn't notice that
She also resembles Villetta.
She does actually have one pretty important niche use:
She's a suitable replacement for Dahlia if you don't have her yet.
Watching even the tougher enemies' HP bars melt in this game (like at 10:07), even with the weaker Blades, is honestly one of the most satisfying things. Holy moly is the combat system rewarding.
With Azami low HP gimmick, that might be powerful chain attack shenanigans.
Perun was one of the first blades I pulled (after Boreas and Dahlia) on Morag and I used her for the rest of the game, can't explain that!
It's a shame Perun is not a better Blade, because she's absolutely gorgeous.
she got low damage but
SHE GOT PHYSICS
It would be funny if they actually weren't boobs at all but balls of ice-water. They jiggle like crazy
@@ShadowSkyX so like praxis?
Perun can be summed up by the phrase “auto attacks kinda suck”
I like Perun she was my only Ice blade who wasn't Ursula for most of my game and Ursula was off doing her singing thing most of the game
Perun is one of my favourite blades in this game!
While Bloody / Demon Orb Perun is far from optimal, it is a fun use of her skill.

Apart from her 16 hit Level 1 Special that is.
LET'S GO THE BEST BLADE DESIGN
Eh, my personal favorite is Brighid's color scheme and the outfit of Dagas
Ehh nah Kasandra exists
Yessir🤝
@@gachalibra9243 Bridghid's color scheme is soooooo gorgeous. My favorite outfit is also Bridghid's though.
You didn't go over that if you put Perun, Newt, and T-Elos on the same team, the driver they are equipped on immediately suffers from "Crushed Pelvis" status and become incapacitated. It even works on Nia and Morag!
Um, what?
really?
I mean, i would.
I feel like Perun is a blades whose skill design leans more towards the early game where auto attacks still have some value as a damage source because you need to use them more in the early parts of the game.

Perun’s design is amazing! While she may not be an amazing blade, her style and personality are something to behold.
Oh oh Perun! I have a huge bias for Ice type stuff, so I think she's pretty cool 😌
Since Defender works when they're only _low_ on HP and not just dead, I wonder if she could pair well with Azami who thrives in Chain Attacks at 1 HP.
Only one more normal Blade left...Dagas, if I'm not mistaken.
The Kaiser comes
I have used 99 legendary core crystals and I still dont have her
Ok this gal was literally my first rare blade and is also my second favorite right behind agate X3
One of my favorites!
Too bad she’s not very useful though. I really wish her passives were about her arts/specials and not auto attacks. The single Aux core slot doesn’t help either :(
Imagine being a lance that isn’t Wulfric
"No one asked for Perun"
Me in the Nim guide comments, who requested Perun :(
I love Perun's design, she is probably my favorite gacha blade. It really sucks that she's not very good. I've tried Demon orb set-up, and its not too amazing, but I also don't have Perun at S+ yet. Maybe I'll try something with T-elos or Herald lol. Thanks Enel!

For example, she was really helpful when I was still figuring out how to use Herald, who kept dying - and both of them have very strong level 1 specials for Chain Attacks!
Am I the weird for thinking her awakening makes her look like a pole dancer?
Nope
Every female (and some male) blade in this game looks like a pole dancer with their amazing sense of minimal clothes fashion
Seems like they made it their goal to make Perun look cooler than most other rare blades and damn did they deliver.
Late to the party with this, but would Perun work well on the Azami chain attack set up you showed off in her video? If Azami is in super mode, Perun is also in super mode and the level 1 is also a chain attack monster. Haven't tried it myself, so maybe there's a crucial detail I'm forgetting that makes this underwhelming
Perun and Vale have S+ tier jiggle physics. 😆
"Doesn't do much to set herself apart."
Aside from having probably one of the most unique methods of unlocking her Affinity Chart, that is. I mean come on, one of them even requires salvaging Heavy Round Shields lmao.
When I see this blade, I get the urge to revolt against Britannia
Hey nice video Enel! I feel like a lot of the rare blades I have are extremely weak. Maybe I need to watch more of your videos.
Someone on the dev team clearly forgot how poorly auto-attacks scale in this game. Battle Plans would have to be at least a 1000% damage boost to be worthwhile.
I just got Perun today following your crystal farming guide, you’re awesome :D

"How could I forget Melon?" is one of my favorite quotes about Perun by Finchinator
She was the first rare blade I got on my second playthrough. Never got her on my original playthrough
Could Perun work on Morag with a Rex/Mythra evasion build and Dagas/Fiora/Shulk support? With Rex always sitting on 30% HP for the bonus evasion and never getting hit, Perun would always have the 250% damage increase. Plus, should she pull aggro the 40% damage reduction helps as well.

Probably yeah
love this blades design and idea. not much of a meta gamer so she one of my favorites

Congrats on 0 dislikes
Perun is waifu
never actually looked at her affinity chart beyond knowing her level 1 was good and realized today why everybody in the game thinks perun is into S&M
What’s S&M?
@@palpatinjw oh I see. Thank you.
Unfortunately for Perun, her auto attack damage increase does not double the actual auto attack stat. But maybe it's for the better in terms of balancing the game
Was there anything specific the common blades were running?
they're just stat boosters for strength
I think Perun has a cool (pun intended) design. If only she did damage.
One of the best Blade designs! Really wish she was more relevant though.
I always get her early so I use her a lot also her design is 10/10 along with Catalyst/KOSMOS/Brigid/Herald do not @ me)
The only 2 blades I seen worth relying on auto attack is fiora and Oberona and even then despite auto attack spam being good you're going to be linking it into spamming arts anyways unless with Obrona you plan on getting party guage up asap
Question: Are Blade Arts (not driver arts) not very important? I don't remember seeing them mentioned in most of these guides.
Perun looks like she belongs in the Disney Atlantis movie. I forget the name.
I JUST GOT HER YESTERDAY FROM A COMMON CRYSTAL. I wasn’t even trying for a rare blade, I just wanted another earth one for the fortitude field skill!
Where is my boy dagas blade guide??
and I don't find KOSMOS attractive when I say her design is 10/10 she just looks cool
Are auto attack talents good in the game for cpu controlled heroes? Does the cpu cancel autos? If not I feel like auto talents could be good? Not sure tho just thinking
Why do you always recommend night vision and never sunlight eye? Aren't they the same effect just at different times of day? What, is it better to battle at night or something? Why?
I mean it doesn't matter but I have my preferences
What do you mean? If you just run Perun with Nia using Electra she's super broken! Best comp in the game!
Wished they would have added the greek warrior stuff indicated by her likes into her design, heavy round shield, ab armor, hopilte helmet, fancy greaves, could have took inspiration from Nephenee from FE9.
3:25 Really? Most of the time, when I'm playing a battle that counts, the majority of the team spends the whole fight dead.
Perun is actually my favorite Blade
can you do Dagas next?
Yes!!! Been waiting for you to finally do a guide for her, so glad you read my comment. Now I can go about with my dream team of Elma, T-Elos, and Perun.

Yeah but perun is cool
Soooo
Kinda weird they made a gnosis into a playable blade, but we don't question Monolith here.
so true
she's so pretty help-
Jiggle
Yeah finally ! I only waited three years for a good guide of her.
Now only Dagas or should I call him Kaiser Zone is left before the Torna blades.
Glad to see these guides are still coming out! I started a new Xenoblade 2 playthrough on a whim and I'm re-hooked
I wonder what blade is going to be next 🤔🤔🤔
:)
more xeno content is always good
Actually I was waiting for Perun because she was my first rare gacha blade
Yo, when doing these videos could you show the blades that you are using for mods and/or the aux cores on them it would help with builds. Thanks
Yeah, these are just strength mod blades so not super important to know.
Can't believe they made that random Gnosis from Xenosaga into an anime girl
Hey serious question, does Resurrection symbol revive your allies at less than 30%? Can you let your teammates die while you set up orbs and then chain attack with Perun to take advantage of Defender
No idea I've never used that accessory LOL
Blade with most amount of jiggle.
That accolade would go to Dalia lol.
Not really for dahlia's bust size they don't jiggle a lot Perun's do.
@@jonmcknight18 do perun’s move more than vale’s
@jeremiah stanton yes a yes they do
I meannn in terms of ice blades design, she's definitely in the top 4 of 5
I see what you did there LOL
Perun is a megalance
You mean neg... lance lance
Yeah yust lance lance
Perun is a lance lance
Perun is also really good when paired with Azami.
8:57
But... it looks like you got the bonus damage. I don't think you actually messed up.
maybe I did but it seemed like the damage was low
Perun? More like peerun gotten
But still nice guide!
