XENO THEMED MERCH TO SUPPORT ME: teespring.com/...
Xenoblade Definitive Edition has a fun system with a few mechanics that aren't always so clear. And as usual chain attacks pretty dumb if you know how to use them. look forward to more specific guides on characters and equipment soon!

I came back to xc1 a few days ago and was really worried that after playing xenoblade 2 for so long, I wouldn’t really like it as much as I did before While I still do think 2’s is better, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this games combat is much more different to 2’s than I thought and is still so much fun. I can’t wait to officially do my 100% ng+ playthrough on the 1 year anniversary of DE, and it’s still my favorite video game ever (and 2 isn’t far behind)

I’m sure you already have a grand scheme in mind, but one of my least favorite parts of combat is how tedious raising party affinity between members can be. I’m sure a lot of us would love to see a content creator such as yourself make a tip video / guide for how to raise affinity as quickly as possible either throughout the game or in end-game :] As always, love the videos man. It’s really cool to hear the combat explained so clearly when the game itself doesn’t give many specifics.

Gifting is streamlined in this version, much quicker and easier to understand. Using a chain attack raises all affinity with those currently on the field, use those as often as possible no point in saving it as it usually is drained and wasted, that and the party gauge raises quickly, even in a chain attack.

There is a unique monster in the game called stormy belegon at level 85 that any physical damaging move hits it the attacker falls asleep. Really easy for end game affinity grinding works like a charm Step 1: have the two party members you want to raise affinity and have sharla for healing in the party so you can drag the fight out. Step 2: dont kill it because you can go back so bring its health low then run and fight it again Step 3: enjoy all those heart to hearts

I feel like they've made it easier to gain affinity in this port. I just reached Satorl Marsh and I have lv4 affinity between Shulk and Reyn already. Granted, I did all the timed side quests, but it still seems like a very fast gain. It's been a couple of years since I played the game though, so I guess I can't say for sure.
@michaelwhite1552
@michaelwhite1552 4 жыл бұрын
As others have already mentioned, you can grind the ether based enemies for affinity, but I did a similar thing much earlier in the story. In Makna forest across bridge number 2 (I haven't gotten there in this release and it's been a while since I played the Wii version, so I hope that's the right bridge), there's a bunch of ether-based clouds that give you constant debuffs every time you hit it. On your party members, unequip all gear and unequip all arts from their palette so CPUs can only auto attack and talent art occasionally. Put low level weapons on your party and yourself to drag out the fight, keep whacking the enemy and get debuffed constantly, and go around encouraging your party. With DE, you can even use the expert mode setting to lower the level of your party if you're killing the enemy too quickly (in theory, again I haven't gotten there yet). I just know that on the original Wii release, I grinded to max affinity with everyone in the party (except 7, didn't have them yet when I did this) from about affinity level 2-3 between everyone in around 4-6 hours (yes, that sounds tedious, but if you're at the end game then I assume affinity levels are higher in general and won't take as much time).

I'm more impressed they are having no trouble whatsoever against Rotbart. Actually reaching the level they go gold isn't easy in my experience. Maybe a quick EXP path tutorial on leveling plateaus? Given my general strategy was Riki the Red Rotbart and keep it up till they died from status effects. Only managed to beat it once before giving up on that strategy and just turned my game into a Stealth Game to reach certain post-game areas.

I personally discovered something more important with agility. I was doing a control test using reyn and the weakest weapon I could find. I took off all gems and non defense boosting equipment, then added strength gems to a value of 27, and then replaced them with agility gems to the same value. Using the plazma deinos in makna forest that reportedly have 0 in both defenses, i found that the additional agility affected the overall damage output far more than the strength gems. Control averaged 720 damage. Strength averaged 900 damage. Agility averaged 1100 damage. So agility is definitely the most important stat. I was doing this control test at level 54

How does "counterattacking" work in this game? There is nothing on the wiki about it, but Fiora has a skill tree node that turns counterattacks into crits. I was wondering if I should link this on Reyn.

Great stuff, I'm amazed how far you are in the game already! I always enjoy it when I get Heat Haze and Soaring Tempest with Dunban. The constant criticals absolutely skyrocket the party gauge so it's really easy to abuse chains to destroy all the hordes of regular mooks. I'm by no means an expert but I do love the gameplay, arguably more than the sequel (even if Agility is a pretty busted stat here imo).

I am so appreciative of you for making this video. I recall an earlier video of yours where you said you were unsure if you'd make many vids for XC:DE if they don't update the battle system since objectively the battle system is older and less intricate than XCX and XC2. I'm glad you did this for newcomers as well as people like me who used to have a solid understanding of it all but just forgot a lot of it over the years. I think it's good for your channel and good for the fanbase.

Some of the best advice in this game is that you don’t need to use Shulk. Reyn, Dunban and Riki has been my most effective party by far. Sometimes I sub in Seven or Melia. Especially towards the end of the story, but before the end game, try to get used to using all the part members. Best advice you can get for this game.

I wish we had this vid back in 2011. Whenever you'd ask a Xenoblade fan to please explain the combat, all you'd get were smug comments of 'It's like an MMO, man' and other such derogatory crap. Which is why I hate the Xenoblade fanbase with a passion. The battle system is anything but simple, 40 hours in you're still learning it.

If you’ve played any rpg with an active time battle system like final fantasy 7 or some of the later ones, it does get a little overwhelming when there’s things constantly happening and no chance to stop and think of your next move, you kinda need to be in control of the battle. What I can say though, is it’s very satisfying combining your arts and taking down tougher enemies or just melting the weaker ones, there’s not much waiting and there’s always something you can be doing in the fight. If you think you’d like it, the story has an interesting premise and is very compelling
