How dare you imply rex.made a choice other than "ALL OF YOU"

Rex in FR is hilariously busted. AND I LOVE IT. Using him was so much fun, like the rush you got from using mythra for the first time in xb2 but times 10

I don’t think she’s nearly as broken as Rex or even Matthew, but Glimmer feels like the unsung hero of the Future Redeemed party. Since the tanks are honestly kind of worthless at keeping aggro, and A is more of an off-healer than dedicated support, Glimmer is basically the only person that can keep Rex alive, and she delivers by being one of the strongest healers in the series. 2 AOE healing Arts, an AOE Crit Up, an Attack field, and 2 debuff Arts. That’s not even getting into her great Fusion Arts, which let her apply Crit Up + Crit Damage for insane synergy with Rex. Add onto that some excellent passives like faster revival, faster healing cooldowns, heals for every Art used, and just straight up huge boosts to her healing power. All of this on an Agnus class, who cools down by spamming Art cancels, and you have a character that can keep your party alive forever. Legitimately don’t know how you’d be able to beat any of the stronger enemies in FR without her.

I agree that Glimmer is underrated. Her insane synergy with Rex makes her one of the best members of your party. I'd say she's 3rd behind Rex and Matthew, since Rex is the primary damage dealer and Matthew is the primary breaker/aoe power charge for the party. The only thing that's bad about her kit is that some of her animations are a bit too long, especially her talent art.

That's a really nice way to look at it

One important thing to bring up about Tora that also pushes him over the edge as the strongest driver, no contest, is that he is the only driver in the game that can do a driver combo by himself. QT Pi gives him break and launch, QT gives him smash, and Alpha gives him topple. So while Alpha and QT are not busted on their own, they are useful because you can use luck mods to boost Tora's break chance, and give basically all the other passive mods on them like gold and item up, healing utility, etc so you can keep QT Pi DPS focused. So even without optimal gear for QT Pi, he really just needs a beta scope and an overclock bangle to be the strongest. And on top of his art which will heal him back to full, you can also give him the equivalent of the Avant Guard Medal (heal every time he crits) as just a passive on QT Pi, so he can also sustain himself without needing to use an accessory slot for it. If you hate Tiger Tiger you can always just sell all the spare parts you get from merc missions and craft good enough gear to get QT Pi going and she'll still be a monster. Alpha and QT are also better than people give them credit for. QT is at least as strong as Brighid, and Alpha with the right build can get a 98% block rate. It's just that even with a block rate that high, Tora's one weakness is he can die from reaction arts.

I want Master Driver to be a class so that Kevesi classes can have its launch art and as a second art whatever. Grand Marshall should give Monado Rage and Armor and would add a new tank class. And I would love it so much if we'd get A as a last hero, with Monado Fencer as a class. The game would be perfect that way. Also am I the only one disappointed that we didn't get a hero system in FR? Was the perfect opportunity to add Reyn, Fiora, Sharla, Morag, etc. And a bonus : they could be playable too. Also imagine if the 6 main cast of FR had Ouroboros forms too, the fan service would be complete. Shulk x Rex Ouroboros together would've been so good. What we got was very fun, but it wasn't as big of an upgrade as Torna was for XC2.

Well, I agree that would have been cool, the lack of Ouroboros forms, hero system and the XBC1 gang and XBC2 gang makes sense, gives the old crew drive to beat alvis and as the avatar help beat Zed. Having Ouroboros got developed yet makes Nia and Melia getting there asses handed to them, Melia getting captured and Nia in a hideway recovery sleep make more sense. In the final fight with Zed, one of the first things he does is flipping cut of the party from using the ouroboros forms. Also, Jesus, if you had Shulk's skill set on someone that in better at holding aggro, Rex's raw damage output combined with Lucky Seven or stacked lower output but higher survibility characters, and A's visions.... they would to create another difficulty level or challenge mode to balance it.

Yeah right Rex said he went all out against Glimmrt and the other kid, yet against bosses he annihilates them lol

Personally when discussing "whos the worst or best" in XC3, I find it more interesting to say "which is the best or worst class" because the only major thing that sets the characters apart is the fact that Noah has Unlimited Sword, and their TP in chain attacks. Worst class I would say is Stalker, because we all know debuffs suck, the art animations are super long, so Stalker has very low dps. Any Healer class is easily better because they can at least revive and do some sort of party support even if its not super helpful like tactician, which is probably the worst healer class (except maybe thaumaturge but that has Ultimate Qigong so i'll give it a pass). You could argue one of the defender classes is worse, either lost vanguard or heavy guard, but I think they have some extremely niche uses, I know you can fuse an evasion art to Variable Turret to have a very long animation in which to evade with, and Heavy Guard has a smash art, and also they are defenders so they'll die slower (I suppose you could pull a FR and give the defenders a memory locket), but I see no situation in which Stalker would be useful. Even if for some reason you wanted a debuff build (which might be a bit better on easy mode since debuffs are more consistent there), then just use Machine Assassin. Best class is tough. Signifer is good for buffs, but you can also just put resonant flag and aureole on a kevesi healer, which makes war medic, medic gunner, and lapidarist quite good. Soulhacker is also quite good because it can provide really good damage and really good support. Seraph is good at dealing lots of damage, and so is Incursor, and FMJ. This is honestly really tough, I kinda can't decide. Also another reason Rex is really good in FR is because he has a skill that completely ignores block rate, at all. Paired with the skill that ignores defence on crit, it means Rex is always doing really insane damage. That skill is extremely effective against Fogdwelller Abaasy, since it has an ability that makes blocked attacks deal 1 damage.

@moosoose4661

7 ай бұрын

I think soulhacker s the best class because in a party setup he is not really replaceable. In terms of support he far outclasses signifer (because his buffs are guaranteed with stuff like desperate charge and dragon decree) and you can just have another class use resonant flag on a lapidarist or something. You have many choices on what you want to use for damage, as a flagger, or whatever, but for support i would always have a soulhacker

@conorb.1901

7 ай бұрын

I'm going to contest you on FMJ. Being an ether attacker in a world where Ultimate Qigong exists is already a mark against it, but its abysmal critical chance of 10% also holds it back rather significantly. There is no possible way to reach 55% displayed crit (the threshold needed to reach 100% crit rate with just a Soulhacker buff and Beaming Edge) on FMJ without sacrificing additional accessories or skills for more crit. You are pretty much required to run Eye for Weak Points, which takes more time to stack up than some of the better classes take to kill superbosses. Now, if you enjoy the class, that's great! I enjoy it too, but I wholly admit that it has a combination of several factors that make it less desirable than other stronger attacker classes like Flash Fencer, Martial Artist, Incursor, Royal Summoner (which is technically a physical class and thus benefits from UQ hilariously enough), and the obvious Seraph.

@@moosoose4661 Now that I think about it you're absolutely right. For buffs you can use signifer or any kevesi healer, for damage there are multiple options, but nothing is just as versatile as soulhacker is. Also it has the advantage of having access to all combo arts. This is the same reason I think Poppi QTpi is the best blade in XC2. In certain situations other blades will out dps her, but her sheer versatility is what puts her on top. That and having access to speedy sword, and on top of that having swooshing slash making her by far the best blade at driver combos.

@T101G I meant that soulhacker can even just straight up out class aureole/signifer for buffs because arts like desperate charge, dragon decree, and battle pherenome allow a soulhacker to consistently give better buffs to the team (its also not random which is a huge win)

I'm going to shoutout Enel, and give a vote for Miyabi's Troubadour class in XBC3 as very close to Signifier. Ring o' Roses is an AOE effect that boosts art recharge rate. And if you pair this with Masha's the Ring a la Mode skill, you can drop a bunch of them, and they stack. Her talent art, Glittering Melody, also fully recharges all arts for the party. She's also one of the few classes with a burst art, which removes the enraged buff from boss enemies, provided they aren't break resistant. Lastly, her Swiftsong skill boosts evasion for all allies by 10-20%. So that's going to be a big boost to any evasion tank. Her talent art charges rapidly too, which will let Noah use Unlimited Sword quickly. Miyabi's chain attack skill isn't that great, but she does give a TP bonus to Mio (which is only useful if Mio isn't a healer class) if used in a chain, along with a chance to revive an extra party member.

Honestly I hadn't considered that and I don't think I'll make a video like that

As someone who keeps replaying Xenoblade 2, and Torna tGC specifically (because the combat system is Torna is just beautiful) I main Addam's team. Initially because I liked the characters on his team better, but more so as I realized how busted these guys can get. Like Lora and Jin are amazing together but once I have Minoth maxed out the only thing that's stopping me is the enemy's break resist levels.

25:08 plus the Talent Art that just gives you all your Arts back. And a positional Art with a recharge gauge of 3 auto-attacks. This means 1 auto-attack and 1 cancel already gets you ready to cancel into your Talent Art charger.

I think with signifier it's also worth mentioning that with the keves art cross impact paired up with resonant flag it grants power charge to the entire party... meaning if you have another signifier with Fiona, you can get two power charges meaning you could for example in a chain attack you could go resonant flag with signifier with the chain order of the attacker in your party A which is the Ouroboros party member, attack with your strongest art which is power charged by said attacker, use Fiona to reapply the power charge effect and with enough tp maybe get a bravo or amazing rating and here you go dealing a littlr bit too much damage.

as an enjoyer of Lucky 7, I have to say that in DPS mode, Noah can still die when using it.... but usually not before doing a shitton of damage also, gotta absolutely love Beyblade Rex in FR.... Id say its actual one flaw is how much you'll have DOUBLE SPINNING EDGE in your head for MONTHS.

For XC1, Shulk is the standout for me because of how much utility he brings, but Reyn tends to be the strongest because of how fast and high-damaging his entire kit is. Reyn's only weakness is poor accuracy, but some Agility Up gems and/or Night Vision gems for superbosses can fix that up. Most importantly, he's one of the 3 members of the Topplelock strategy, alongside Dunban and either Shulk or Seven. But his high damage, high hp, and strong topplelock combo potential make him much better than Melia for me, who really can only Force topple and is a bit too fragile. Special mention for Reyn also because unlike both Shulk and Melia, Reyn doesn't have to be controlled to be effective, which leads me to... XC1FC: They really gave us a game where the 3 worst characters to control are 3 out of the 4 characters you can use didn't they? Shulk, Melia and "Sharla (Kino)," and the only other member who shows up is "Reyn (Nene)?" I think you'll understand why I put Nene at the top here. Having Reyn's kit means high damage, HP, and Topple combos (the survivability being even more important because you don't have Dunban, Riki, or Seven to do any kind of tanking), and of course, you don't have to control them, meaning you can focus on controling one of the other party members. Shulk still has good utility, but damn losing visions him quite a bit, and for Melia losing chain attacks hurt her quite a bit because she can't summon elementals for easy chain continuation. XCX: Cross, obviously. But if we discount him for a second, the conversation actually gets a bit more interesting. We have Elma, Celica, and Phog who all have Ghostwalker for amazing survivability, and Nagi who grants you 2 of the best arts in the game: True Stream Edge for great TP generation and Blossom Dance for way too much damage (there's a reason blossom dance longsword builds are so powerful). For support, L with Mindstorm can also be mentioned for helping boost your Potential even further. But of course, all conversation goes out the window when Cross shows up. XC2: Poppi QTPi is nuts. Just how much driver combo access you can have is unparalleled. The only contender I would say is like Elma because of Overdrive, or Fiora because of EZ arts spam. Also you could argue just Rex in general because he can access almost every other blade EXCEPT Poppi, which is really funny because he can get his hands on every single blade except the strongest one. Torna: I like your Addam call here, but you're right: all 3 of the drivers have talent arts that contribute something really important to the team, and it's funny how much stronger those Talent arts are than the Blades' talent arts. XC3: As overpowered as Infinite Sword may be, I want to actually make a case for another member of the Core 6: Sena. Obviously anyone can access the Ogre class, but Sena has her personal weapon for the class and the stats to use it best, and similar to why Poppi QTPi is the best party member in 2, Sena and the Ogre fill a niche in lategame content that other classes struggle to fill: She can get Breaks. Break resistance is nutso in the lategame of 3, and Ogre is the best class in the game for landing breaks while still providing a great amount of damage. But I'll admit, it struggles to match with how powerful infinite sword can be, I mean there's even an instant-kill chance to proc on normal and even elite enemies! XC3FR: Rex. It's Rex, and it's not even close.

Ogre is not the best breaking class. Its actually yumsmith which is actually one of the best classes despite being considered one of the worst. It is mostly because spamming 3 break arts is just as likely to break (especially when fusion comboed) as the Ogre's one skill that makes putting a break art on them good. Then Yumsmith frankly just has a better AI for breaks (unless you want to control your Ogre) and a way higher dex allowing the class to function as a breaker more consistently. You could also use Incurser, or Noponic Champion as other alternatives but the max number of break arts they can have is 2. Incurser would also provide far more damage than Ogre, but you really only need one damage character per team. Frankly Xenoblade 3 has been solved for a while and even saying Signifer is good (as the video did) is not true. All the broken skills and arts it has can be given to classes that use them far better. Infinite sword is pretty outclassed as a strategy and only used for a few challenge mode runs. But it is utility fully unique to Noah and thus it forces him to be the best character. Though, as the video stated that does not mean that much because every character is basically the same.

I think H.B. was probably also worth mentioning in X. With two taunts (which both generate TP for himself) and Gunforce which transmits TP to the party he's a good TP battery to keep your TP skills flowing. He's probably the least survivable of the tank characters, but he'll keep Cross' damage rolling out.

He was an honorable mention for being a weird but good mix of supporter and tank, the others were Irina and Alexa

Tora and QTPi has always a bit divisive for me... There is NO doubt that she is in a class of her own at her max potential, but i can't shake the fact that i NEVER find it enjoyable to drop everything, and grind for several hours to get what i need to make her extremely powerful as soon as she is unlocked. Unless i plan to do NG+, or at least do all the postgame stuff, i pretty much just do the quest to get her, and then sideline Tora for Morag again... I just feel like the amount of game left where you get to use her, is not worth the investment to bring out her full potential in a pure main journey playthrough... So Rex always wins out for me, with his story locked access to increasingly broken versions of the Aegis, along with mandatory access to Break and Topple arts. And with no real effort on the players part, Pneuma trivializes most battles right out of the block, where QTPi takes a while and a ton of investment to become really broken!

I think the best character in XCX (in terms of how useful they are when AI-controlled) comes down to a three-way tie between Irina, L, and H.B. As mentioned in the video, L is an excellent tank but also has self-healing and party support with Mindstorm and topple locking with both Wild Down and Starlight Kick (not that he has enough TP to use them a lot of the time). Meanwhile, Irina and H.B. both have access to the best ranged weapon in the game which comes with the best support art in the game - Last Stand. Pair that with an assault rifle that has Ranged: TP Gain Up and suddenly you have a TP generating machine on your hands. Irina has party healing with Smooth Recovery, can throw around TP and a Potential buff with Energy Source, can topple with Assault Hammer, and has access to Repair and Absorber Skin if you want more niche healing/barrier options, but she can’t take big hits very well. She’s most useful for a 2000-3000 TP bonus at the start of battle to instantly overdrive and take out your target. H.B. has better survivability and access to both Decoy Round and Trash Talk, so he has no problem keeping enemies occupied and generating a ton of TP from it. He has Shield Wall as a better barrier art (same as L) and access to Wild Down (but no Assault Hammer sadly). As niche options Atomic Hit can launch smaller enemies to keep them immobile for a few extra seconds, Takedown Shot is another topple against machines, and Furious Blast is another option for generating TP (this point also applies for Irina but to be honest neither AI is smart enough to wait for Furious Blast to cool down before throwing it out). Irina and L are best used in tandem, while H.B. combines their two roles into one if your team needs the extra space, at the cost of team healing options. Elma is also a good companion for Ghost Factory reasons, but the AI sucks at positioning so her damage output is middling at best.

Elma is by far the best AI controlled character because her AI actually uses ghost factory. back when global nemesis was a thing, the party build without online was cross, elma, celica, nagi. cross is cross, nuff said elma has a 160% potential boost just tied to her character, has ghost factory and AI uses it, and executioner is decent celica is knife + dual guns, broken combination, is by far the best character for soloing who's not cross, but in this party of 4 she's the weakest nagi has no real way to defend himself, so he relies on elma's ghost factory to be good, but he has offensive stance and blossom dance, best dps in the game. also assault rifle isn't the best ranged weapon in the game, very far from it. dual guns is the best by a very significant margin and maybe situationally gatling gun. I think MaxMonado made a very good choice in picking elma. (ignoring cross), 2nd best dps in the game when soloing (only beaten by celica), and 2nd best dps in the game when in a group (only beaten by nagi). elma's AI actually uses ghost factory, which is the only support that you need in the game. the speedrun for X, switches to elma before the first fight and solo everything with her until cross is max FMJ and the the speedrun solo's with cross.

It is still crazy that poppi QTPi is this broken that shes outclassing even dlc. in blade tierlists i have seen there is only one blade which hits even THE SAME TIER as poppi, and that one is a dlc blade which far as i remember gets infinite arts recharge. but thats dlc you have to raise up. poppi just works.

My vote for most overpowered xenoblade 3 character is whoever is on guardian defender. This is based on the fact in the DLC, you have ridiculously overpowered characters, and then you have Nikol, a nerfed version of guardian defender from the base game, because apparently having a tank which will never take agro but has such high damage reductive capability their self healing makes them physically immortal isn't fair, but a character with higher damage output than seraph without any of the self damaging drawbacks is.

While she definitely isn't nearly as powerful as Noah, I do think Mio and her Dominion Flower is at least worth a mention, it's basically an Ether version of Lucky Seven with a bigger AoE and inflicts Burst, sure that means going through the lesser Daze combo, but I just personally like using Mio so having anything unique for her is a plus to me

I'm a late comer to XC after wiping out all of the late LOZ. Been studying all characters and find Melia to be the greatest contributor to the team. Her 'summon' buffs not only do their own damage, but they power up the damage the team deals and the effects go on for up to 30 seconds, then she can do the next summon. The con is that she goes down easy. Her low agro makes up for that weakness. And Fiora also has these devastating attacks like no one else. So, my favorite team is Melie, Fiora, Shulk. My least used characters are Reyn and Ricki.

On easy mode, she grants enough recharge to the party gauge for +2 rounds, which means you can have a 7 round chain attack. This also applies to that one manual in future redeemed that grants the same effect, but since there aren't heroes that don't consume party gauge the max is 5 rounds (6 on easy mode).

I would say Melia can do Ashera's job just as consistently as a Hero in XBC 3, and stays around for the whole chain rather than just the first round.

I don't think ouroboros forms are big game changers most of the time, aside from chain attack finishers and Eunie having an art to revive everyone.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention Noah’s biggest selling point-although it doesn’t work on unique monsters or bosses, if Noah is in an attacking class, every single hit he lands has a 3% chance to **instantly kill** an enemy. Pair that with his most spammable art, which hits *seven* times and often recharges itself instantly after use, and you’ve got the most broken DPS character Monolith has ever made.

You're talking shade about the other Poppis, but Alpha has the ability to gain 93% block rate as well as a skill that makes it to where blocking has a 50% chance to completely nullify damage. Add in some kind of healing like Auto-Attack Heal and a defense increase and Tora literally can't die. I once took on Tyrannotitan Kurodiil on Bringer of Chaos with nothing but Poppi Alpha and won. Took forever but considering the strongest Superboss in the game on the hardest difficulty could barely do damage to Tora...

Honestly, I think Monolith needs to make it clear that if you want to hold aggro, you need to be doing damage. Reyn and Dunban do great damage, lots of blades in Xenoblade 2 can tank because they can hold aggro whether they are tanks or not, but then we get to Xenoblade 3 where Lone Exile is literally the only tank with the proper tools for holding aggro. All other tank classes cannot even hope to take aggro from a decently damaging attacker. Granted, Xenoblade 3 is also the game where the best way to survive fights (besides just killing the enemy) is to stack damage reduction and you can do that regardless of class, but it still goes to show that 3 is by far the worst showing for tanks in the series so far.

For two and three as mentioned by others the classes/rare blades are probably more meaningful than the driver/hero 2: Poppi QTpi is #1 no contest, but number two has some amazing competition between Fiora, Elma, Kaiser Zone, Corvin, KOS-MOS, Patroka and so on 3: Where do we even begin with XBC3? Do we take Sena: Ogre for the near guaranteed Breaks? Signifier or Lapardist's buff stacking, any of the myriad stupid damage dealers like Seraph, Incursor, Full Metal Jaguar and so on? The absolutely absurd flexibility presented by Soulhacker?

2. Depends what you value. Elma is essential for overdrive for the big HP sponge enemies, Fiora clears mobs, Corvin is basically immortal, and skill is broken. I think most people value Fiora the most because on top of the insane AOE damage and she gives a flat crit rate increase to the party, but honestly it just depends on the fight you are going into. 3. The best two classes are soulhacker and Seraph. It is not even close. Buffs define the game and Soulhacker has by far the best buffs due to a skill making them more potent and having access to every buff that actually matters. And they are all team wide. It is a far, far, far better than Signifer (and war medic is better at going for random buff pulls than signifer is). Seraph grants the awakening buff when below I think it is 90 percent HP, which is like 3 major buffs in 1. This can be passed to your team through Ouroboros form and the buff passing art (though if you are using Seraph as your damage source it is not needed). The class has some of the best attacking skills in the game and insane ratios on their arts making them easily the best attacking class. It can function as a combo support with break if you want with break, two topples, and a launch. Heck, the class is actually the best tank in the game with awakening and stacking damage reduction. It is too powerful and flexible to be considered anything else than the best attacking class. It is more flexible than Soulhacker honestly. Soulhacker is probably still better just because of how powerful buffs are. Seraph would not function as well as it does without them, but it kind of depends on what you value more. Any team you build optimally will 100 percent have both these classes in it. Ogre is not even in the conversation. Yumsmith weirdly enough is a far better breaker. On the grounds of it having more break arts, far better AI for them, way better accuracy and better uptime for using the arts. You could also go with Incurser or Noponic Champion, which give up a break art for launch, but again kind of depends on what the team needs.

Personally, about future redeemed I would say Glimmer is better because of the support usefulness, with how broken Rex is, the simple attack up she gives to him might be of higher impact than Matthew himself, also, revives are way more important in future redeemed as Shulk tried to become Dunban but forgot about the aggro and Nikol is just an immobile stone that won't die, won't support, won't get aggro and won't do damage at all, tanks are both unable to maintain aggro because of Glimmer + Rex, so she will constantly need to revive him in order to survive. Also, about both father and daughter, you forgot about their unity combo which is free 20 crit rate and 50 crit damage to the whole party for just existing, and as they are both the most important characters on the party, they should not be dead so they can just use the active whenever it is needed.

Damage reduction is the best way to survive fights in Xenoblade 3, and stacking it is surprisingly easy. In Future Redeemed alone, we've got Nikol's defense buff (15%, can go higher with swelling blessing), Shulk and Nikol's unity skill (another 15%), and Rex's own Heroic Spirit skill (30%) for 60% less damage taken because dr stacks additively in Xenoblade 3. You could even throw a shield belt on Rex for another 30% damage reduction at the cost of -50% damage additive which sounds much worse for a damage dealer than it actually is. That's 90% damage reduction which is likely to lower enemy damage into the double digits, if not less. As for the aggro situation, that's unfortunately just a byproduct of the aggro generation mechanics HEAVILY favoring damage. The reason every tank clas that isn't Lone Exile sucks at their job is because they don't do enough damage to counteract how much your attackers are pumping out. Simply put, if you want to hold aggro, you need to be doing damage. It has been this way since Xenoblade 1, and it hasn't changed.

She can make him go from mostly crits to guaranteed crits, make those crits go from 1.25x to 2x, gives him an attack buff field, and can instantly revive him when he inevitably goes down every 5 seconds only to instantly reapply all 3 of those buffs. Plus she can fully heal everyone else with a single art in the off chance Rex somehow doesn't have aggro.

Nah you were listening to the wrong people then lol. Common consensus with speedrunners and pro players alike is that he's the best DPS after Jin and maybe Lora, for the reasons I listed in the video.

Meliea let me to kill enemies 20 or 16 levels above me, not with ease but was viable, possible and I actually do it.

Without watching, I just know Poppi QT-Pi is gonna be Xenoblade 2's

@@MaxMonado fair enough. Tbh X is my absolute favorite in terms of gameplay, it really is almost an MMO in terms of room for optimization and build variety

Man my favorite game ever is X why you gotta do me like that qwq

I'm truly shocked. The MCs are the most broken Characters of their Games

I can't believe Tora is the main character of 2 and Rex the main character from Future Redeemed

Are the Ouroboros gang better in their original classes? The weapon upgrades really only benefit Noah, Sea, and Lanz. Mayyybe Mio. Because the weapon upgrades only offer atk, crit, and block buffs. The only thing that makes any of the characters special is their fusion.

Well the fact that they get a higher attack stat means by default that they're better, you listed 4 out of the 6 and even Eunie and Taion still benefit even if slightly

if im not mistaken, if rex dies you lose the crit stacking from his skill, so you need to build it up again right?

Rex does lose the damage from his Adroit Blade equivalent (I don't remember the name lol, but it's literally the exact same skill Incursor has), but it's so stupidly easy to get 100% crit rate with him that he's going to put in some major damage before dying again, even if he still needs to ramp up

@paulrance5445 no, Eye for Weak Points scales up your crit as you attack, which Rex does not have. Instead, Rex has a skill that is identical to Adroit Blade which gives you more damage for every crit that you do

XC1: The power to have various effects through the Monado, summoning Elements that support and does damage, etc. yeah. Sharla really did draw the short end of the stick. XC2: The only way to dictate who’s the best Driver is to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Rex and the non Tora Drivers aren’t good with every weapon class (cough Shield Hammer), so depending on the Rare Blade themselves and what they do, the Driver’s effectiveness varies for each Playthrough. Rex has the Aegis throughout most of the game, thus his main blade is two for the price of one, Chapter 8 lets him use every Non Poppi other characters have. I could go on.

Like I said, in a 'normal' playthrough where you don't have good random blades, Rex is the best. However I looked at whoever the best character is when you have every option, which will make Tora and Zeke better since they both have more overpowered options

@@MaxMonado that means you also have to consider that Poppi QTPI also requires time an effort without DLC or NG+ and in a way, so does Zeke. And he doesn’t get EoSJ until NG+, which like Pneuma, is once per battle. So even they still have some weaknesses and lack options that Rex does. Tora just has the flexibility of being able to equip whatever works for Poppi (if you work for it).

Before getting into it im guessing: reyn/dunban for topple lock potential (maybe shulk cause monado arts go brrt) Havent played x 2 is QTpi this is objective fact Torna Id assume is Addam/Mythra Xenoblade DE dlc (cant rememver it) prob melia since shulk is stuck with monado rex, maybe rikis daughter (his son sucks cause hes just sharla) 3 has to be either signifer or soulhacker base game, if we're doing dlc I could see lapidarist though 3 dlc its rex and much like QTpi this isnt a debate Edit: ok so THAT'S how we're ranking xenoblade 3 characters nvm, yeah in that case its noah not even a debate lucky 7 go brrt.

Very on point predictions, nice!

I think for Xenoblade 1. Aside from Shulk who is of course the main character and who is broken as hell. I would put not Reyn but Riki in 2nd place. First of all when he joins your team he have higher Hp that Reyn. Second of all he have ALL sorts of art. Attack art, buffs arts, debuff arts and even healing art. I just loved playing with Riki more that the rest of the party. I mean he even have art called "fake death" and this is what it is. If the ennemy deals too much damage to riki you just need to fake his death so that the ennemy lost his agrro on you past on anoter party member. So yeah for me Riki is that broken Otherwise good vidéo for the rest

Riki is more a jack of all traits, but a master of none He has the highest HP, but his attacks aren't strong enough the gain the aggro consistenly and even if he could, his defences aren't high. He has all kinds of arts which is great but it also means he's outclassed by other characters in every aspect except support. I love Riki too, but I think he's closely behind Melia (though he's still amazing, everyone in 1 can just do great things)

Shulk over Melia? Melia guarantees a basically endless combo in chain attack with the three uses of her white art, she has a forced topple that affects even the strongest monsters, she can temporarily become invincible and therefore dodge attacks, she can also shut out auras and buffs, she can buff the entire team and use one of Sharla's talents to avoid gaining aggro with her aura while still dealing immense, high-precision damage with ether attacks, including the strongest dps debuffs in the game. She has basically it all and more, except blocking Special Arts.

Melia can do great things like you said. Shulk can protect his team better, keep enemies topple locked with daze and Cyclone, raise the party gauge easier, has better synergy with Reyn and Dunban who are also great... You can make an argument for every character, Melia is great but imo other characters have more synergy (despite her talent art in chains)

You forgot to mention, that TORA is the only member who can SOLO Kill ALL the Super Bosses on his Own and Do his Own Combos-Chains as also Combo-Breakers XD... Heck, he could even cure Cancer if he wanted to XD

Well he's the only one that can do a full driver combo all on his own true, but for the rest all the other party members can also do solo's or solo blade combos. Tora is still goated though
