    2:07 If I could fix Defenders in both XC2 and XC3, I'd give them all an innate aggro multiplier of, I dunno, 500% or something, and I'd give skills like Block-Counter Assembly here a significantly higher multiplier - 900%, at least. That'd do a more-respectable 7200 damage, in this case. I'd also add an additional aggro draw on top of that of 300%, because spikes bloody hurt. That worthless Spike Gem? I'd also massively increase that thing's multiplier too. "Auto Aggro Up"? Make it increase aggro by something _useful_ like, for shits and giggles, 777 per second.

    @@Aussielios I mean, I do understand why aggro exists - to punish attackers who are doing their jobs too well, to add more balance - and if aggro was removed as you suggested, non-Defenders would only get hit by AoE attacks and thus not face dying nearly as often. Plus, when there are two Defenders, which one is the enemy supposed to target? Aggro helps with that too. Sure, the overall system does need a rework, but the concept is sound, I believe. All it needs is for Defenders to draw aggro more effectively, not for aggro to be removed outright.

    That's cool. We ended up with basically the same Nikol build. One difference is the chain attack accessory. I dropped the Ashera heroic chain and focused him on the ability that adds 15 TP to everyone else and my chain attacks have become way better. With +150% TP for completing an order on Rex, and Melia's heroic chain on Matthew, getting the round 1 Amazing with 4 characters is easy, (and you can get that person back with A's default chain order) and it sets up Rex to easily 3-turn amazing and stack TP like crazy.

    I actually wonder if they wanted him to be run something like this or if they just don't know how to balance these classes between early game and super bosses. Nikol had no problems keeping aggro for me through most of my playthrough, that problem lies with Shulk. But as soon as Rex passed a certain powerup threshold, Nikol became basically "the guy left standing to run from battle." I can't believe I didn't think to use the memory locket seeing as how I used that on defenders in my first playthrough of the base game.

I'd go with the Vigorous Anklets over the Shield Belt since it would be nice if he could do at least some damage and the difference in durability isn't that much considering how long his arts are. Despite being the weakest team member, I do think the Nikol is better than almost every tank in the base game, especially either of the face tanks that aren't Guardian Commander. Really sucks just how uninteresting the tanks are in Xenoblade 3 as a whole especially when compared to the powerhouse's we had in previous games

    I really wish they'd realize the scaling of damage when making the spike damage effects. You'd need to have the effect be something like 2000% (20x) the attack stat before the damage is noticeable. Also kind of wish they wouldn't make the face tanks so slow all the time, because that's another really crippling thing to tanks. Nikol isn't bad. He has some good things going for him, but there's a reason most face tanks in the series haven't been great.

    I'm really glad that Xenoblade 3 found ways for tanks to be useful even without having aggro after the travesty that was the shield hammer class. I still think future games shouldn't be as afraid to give tanks, especially face tanks, as low damage as these past 2 games have, but for the completely unkillable tanks I also really want to see them do better with their aggro increasing abilities. I feel like giving them basically an attacker ability, but instead of increasing damage per x thing done it gives you an aggro multiplier could potentially work if it scaled high enough, it just feels like the aggro increasing abilities they've been giving tanks these past few games just don't cut it.

    Wait, really? Nikol was actually pretty reliable when it came to managing aggro, all things considered. Obviously Rex and Matthew would steal it from him pretty often, but as you said, that's kind of par for the course when the FR team is as stacked as they are. But anytime they did take aggro, he'd take it right back while A and Glimmer were able to safely revive the now-dead Attackers lmao The only time things really became an issue were when the enemy would use a crazy strong AoE and happened to take out both healers lol That said, I really do wish they would change how tanks fundamentally work in these games. If a tank can't do crazy good damage, then they can't pull aggro well. But if they can't pull aggro well, they're losing out on an important part of their role. But if you're just building them primarily for high damage, then why are you still calling them a "tank?" I'm fine with tanks doing really good damage, like Dunban and especially Reyn in XC:DE. But if they don't or can't, they should at least REALLY pump up their aggro draw numbers to be competitive with the game's Attackers. It's one thing to lose aggro from time to time during a huge damage burst. It's another for Attackers like Rex to just be like "no me c:"

    For the bulk of my playthrough I usually suffered from one of the two DPS getting the most aggro, dying, the other getting it, dying, and even if the first DPS was picked up, the aggro then fell to the healers despite my efforts to give them aggro reduction stuff. Aggro systems in Xenoblade are just trash unfortunately and definitely my biggest complaint across the series. Good thing everything else is so much fun to play with at least.

    Seeing Nikol now again I really think they should’ve added Shulks spike damage on one skill and give Shulk another skill that gives him Awakening whenever aggro is kept for longer than 5 seconds and allow him to freeze the timer of Awakening as long as he is targeted by the enemy. Meaning once aggro is gone the timer of the Awakening buff would start to count down. That would have made Shulk actually good but instead monolith soft decided to give Shulk two separate useless spike effects.

    I give Nikol strategy manual vol 20. In case the rest of the party just passes away and I have a chain attack, the order revives everyone and the heroic chain practically guarantees that Nikol can do his order by himself (200% if used first, so combine that with base 30tp + 15tp for his order, and most characters can manage to get 5 extra tp).

    Shit, using Nikol as an extra reviver makes so much sense, I wish I'd thought of that when I was playing through it. Future Redeemed really demonstrated that(at least on Hard) not having that 7th healer/reviver class was a big disadvantage in tough fights, since your two main healers could go down easily at times. That was a big way to stay alive in the base game, so using Nikol here like that would have been very useful as well.

    I actually found Nael not bad as an attacker, in chain attack and outside. I stack her with the most offensive options I could manage and she does more raw dmg than her brother. The main downside to Nael is she doesn't give any utility to the team so I ended up only using her on rounds where Rex wasn't a viable options since her personal dmg was second highest, only losing to Rex. Outside of chain attack, I find my Nael taking aggro and dying more often than any characters who isn't Rex, which I sometimes use to my advantage by starting a chain attack when she was down to eliminate the RNG aspect she brings into chain order.

    Yeah, that's unfortunately just how the series is. Reyn and Dunban are better at doing damage, Brighid and Corvin are great tanks because they have ways to boost their own damage, Hugo is perfect, and Xenoblade 3 probably has it the worst where only one defender class has literally anything that helps with drawing aggro. Damage is and always has been the best way to hold aggro.

    @@conorb.1901 It’s even more sad when you realize that there’s enough additive defense boosts to make any class take 1 damage from everything in 3. It’s more feasible on Agnus classes because of Solid Stance, but I think enough defense field effects and enough buff power on your Soul hacker with Butterfly Dust passes the 100% threshold for Keves classes. They’ll be close enough if it doesn’t. With that, you can make an attacker just as unkillable as any defender with the same setup but do more damage, grab more aggro(the aggro loss from taking damage is practically gone with only taking 1s), and benefit from Protector’s Pride + Fraternal Badge. If it’s a single target fight, you only need one, leaving extreme flexibility with everyone else. You do need pretty consistent defense field support, but if it’s an Agnus healer, you can put the same setup and make an unkillable duo. And you usually want that anyway for Glittering Melody spam later on. I guess defenders still do stuff earlier on, but by the time you can get Butterfly Dust on Soul Hacker, you’ll be far enough to get everything you need for the setup.

I think what gets me about them is less that they’re bad and more that they’re just less fun to use. The big damage and crazy support stuff is left to non-defenders. Zephyr’s fun with the low recharge and Lone Exile has fun Blossom Dance spam or Crit recharge later on, but some of the most fun and hilarious stuff in 3 comes from the recharge stuff you get from not using them. Combo-locking, perma-evasion, buff spam, max chain attack damage stuff, and so on are just more possible or more ridiculous with faster recharge.
