This is the only challenge that could make Tora D tier.

I did not actually use electra, blame BlunZ for the thumbnail LMAO

Flyann: loses Crossette to Immovable Gonzales Enel: First death to Territorial Rotbart Monkey bros are out in full force in these XC2 nuzlocks.

“Unfortunately she didn’t get it up as fast as I’d like” - Enel talking about Nia

"This game is really centered around Pneuma near the end." *flashes back to my playthrough having hardly ever used Pneuma after her required fight because she confused me*

ngl i feel like we’re gonna get a lot of flyann and enel vids that they make together.

My Twitter feed is plagued with Xenoblade 2 ads thank you

Ok so do i Buy Xenoblade 2 Or do i Buy Ur Merch? Enel: Yes

"these fights are pretty much a joke" me who put everything on other characters because of rexs overdrive ability: yea...easy.

Meh meh meh! Tora really needs that amazingly cool merch... but still flat broke like penniless pancake. Also Tora and Poppi will be last ones standing in nuzlocke!!!

I honestly don’t think Electra solo is even possible. Maybe you should try

Me and my friend are doing a nuzlocke, he got Akhos and patroka and I got Electra 🥴

You're the best Mythra player in Smash Bros, right? Had no idea you played Xenoblade 2 as well!

This is a wonderful idea, I need to sleep right now but I’m really looking forward to this in the morning

*BIG CHONKUS BOREAS IS A NECESSITY*

If you do another, maybe every chapter you can play 1 game of Tiger Tiger so you can use Tora a bit more, but if you die you have to remove all equiped stuff on her

17:52 "will this suffering ever come to an end?"

U guys remember when this man used to make superboss guides with rex and mythra

Ayo? A nuzlocke of XC2 by famed KZfaqr Enel? Day made

Enel ive been playing xc2 from the time it came out, and watched literally all of your videos.....I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A CHEST ON THAT BRIDGE

Hey Enel, hopefully after pyra/mythra makes it into smash, a whole flock of people discover the brilliant content you've been putting out. I'm sure your beginner oriented or combat mechanics garner a ton more views. Cheers mate!

dying to rotbart really. you where the chosen one, you swore to teach the noobs not join them

I tried doing something like this over the last week. Then I got to chapter 4 and pulled KOS-MOS. Guess I'm doing a KOS-MOS run now!

Literally the moment the video starts: "Nice shirt, I want one of those... Oh, I can just buy them from you. lol"

really fun watch, enjoyed the insightful commentary on the combat throughout it and would love to see another one if you enjoyed it. still losing my mind over that mythra alt that was just shown also :)

Awesome challenge, might give this a try myself. Keep it coming!

Glad I checked out the merch page, just picked up a sweet new mask. Also thanks for the awesome vids.

More Xenoblade content is always welcome. I’m excited for this.

Watching the nuzlocke live was really fun. Good stuff!

This is a really cool concept. I would love to give this a go someday, but I might make things easier on myself because I’m not very good at the game lmao

Might give it a try on the future! Great vid Enel!

i was going to watch the vode on twitch but that was gone and i was sad but now am happy. getting the chat on the screen was an adventure

This vid was a banger, great concept, I might give this a go next time I restart the game

Enel is true gamer. People often thought game are so easy. Well, just find a way to make it harder. That is a true gaming experience.

UMN Mode on a xenoblade video 😌

i actually thought of doing something like this a while ago. interesting to see you actually did it

Being able to choose who you release on a death really kinda defeats the entire purpose of a Nuzlocke.

I love challenges like these this games story mode gets kinda easy after you understand all the things that can make the game easier

awesome video! Love your content, sorry for not commenting every single video. Really enjoyed this one! Keep it up and stay safe and healthy!!!

I’ve been looking for a good xenoblade KZfaqr for so long

*Channel almost entirely dedicated to the Xenoblade games* "If you know me, you know I love Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Mm-hmm, yeah... How do you feel about Pyra and Mythra in Smash, by the way? I just can't guess.

I think the concept of a XC2 nuzlock is actually really interesting. Easpeacially since you have no idea what you're going to get, the Blades could be amazing, or they could be something that makes the run even more of a challenge. Really brings to mind the fourth rule of the Slavager's Code. I'm still in the 'git gud' stage of XC2 career so maybe one day, eventually, i'll do this sort of thing myself, but not today, or any day soon.

Definitely a fun challenge idea. I think for folks that aren't as well versed in XC2 as you are the rule base is probably just the right amount of lenient.

I was hoping somebody would post xenoblade content! I’m trying to finish definitive edition but it takes a while to record, can’t wait to finish and play the second game!

It hurts seeing rare blades getting released

21:08 Scandalous

This is cool! Maybe I should give this a try.

Possible rule changes: - You can pull new Blades every time a new area is added to the top level of the skip travel menu (i.e. Argentum, Gormott, Uraya, etc.) - Once they join, Zeke and Morag get as many Blades as everybody else has gotten, so Morag gets 5 and Zeke 6 (or 7 if you start pulling in Temperantia instead of Indol) - On party wipe, you have to release a Blade from each Driver in the active party Essentially, each Driver has a max of 12 lives, as there are 12 "continents". This gives you 48 lives total, for a max of 16 party wipes before the run ends. - Optional: You can use Legendary Blades, but they can still die. This includes the Poppi forms, giving Tora 3 lives by endgame. It's up to each player if they eat up lives though. Legendary Blades are basically your starters, after all. I have no idea if these would be more or less balanced.

I hope xenoblade explodes in popularity one day and xenoblade nuzlockes are just as recognizable as Pokemon nuzlockes but that’s tough

Didn't show the hardest fight in the game. THE Security Tirkin smh

XENOSAGA 1 UMN THEME I MISSED YOU

Bro, I don't even think I can try this. I don't have enough strength to release ANY of my blades

"Inspired by Pokemon" - Flaynn looks on in disappointment-

I would watch but have yet to finish the game

You are making me pick this game up again, why have you done this to me Enel 😂

So I'm not the only one who thought about this challenge

man ur fast first you were on Mythra's twitch stream and now ur already on YT 👌

This video is cool as heck!

Watching your run inspired my to try out my own ruleset, I do: -You get to pull 1 blade on 1 driver every 4 landmarks you visit. Yes, that includes the first blade on each driver, thankfully there are 6 landmarks to go through before ancient ship to get a pull on rex, and you can use jin and malos as party members until you can get a pull for nia. -For every wipe, you remove a blade from every active driver in the party, if tora or vandham are in the party, you remove an extra blade off of rex or nia instead. Blades don't have to be active. -For the first 4 chapters I only pull from common core crystals, then next 3 I pull from rares, and I can pull legendaries in the last 3 chapters. -Other rules from Enel apply, Poppi is gimped, no shining stars, use of all DLC is banned with the exception of getting extra core crystals. The idea was I give myself more options but make the punishment much harsher, if you end up death cycling to something you can lose blades at an alarming rate and the cannon fodder might not be able to keep up. Now with that been said, I can tell the story of Ai, the best common blade I pulled this run. Ai was an ice axe blade I got on Zeke, as you can tell this is already a good start, but that's not all. Ai came with FIVE whole levels of target weakness, which gives a massive additive crit rate of 15%, which is as good as Mythra, her other skill was emergency guard which was whatever, but here's the real fun part, she came with three whole aux core slots. With crit up 3 and a mirror matter, her crit rate reached 60% and with and avant guard and an ice headband on zeke, she could hit those big girl 6-digit numbers on fusion combos. Unfortunately that run died to Chapter 9 jin. I thought I could rush him down, but the evasion was too much for me and my dumbass didn't bother reviewing my set-ups.

I was thinking of another possibility for a nuzlocke being you can only use rare blades but every time you die you release one. Obviously you cant release pyra or poppi or anything so if you have to release them only do it as a last resort and if a character runs out of rare blades, you cant use them. If all characters run out, the run dies.

This is a very interesting concept that I really wish caught in; this would have gotten a lot of milage.

17:46 was probably the most humblest moments ever. Look at that laugh and joy man. Enels energy is unmatched

I might try this after my current playthrough :)

Come on bro it's half past midnight, guess I'm sleeping at 1 tonight :/

Your content is the best

I think I might try this with a modified rule set. If you die, you have to release a blade that was equipped. This would be more impactful because you would either have to release one of your good blades or intentionally equip bad blades and hurt your battles just in case. Next, one blade per new town (or titan if no towns). This would give like 14 blades (13 titans/world tree, uraya has 2 towns), which I feel like would still be restricting, while also giving more variety.

Really cool chance to see a bunch of Common Blades shine. Two suggested changes to the ruleset would be that you have to release the Blade you had out on the character you control every time you die, in exchange for being able to go up 1 level per Chapter at the Inn. At least in theory that sounds like a way to respect the Nuzlocke spirit while keeping the difficulty manageable.

Love your content.

I still remember that the first blade I got in my play through was Kos-Mos, Lucky

MERCH IS SO COMFY BUY IT

I could never imagine releasing a rare blade D:

17:42 sometimes I wished that they would just go back to xenoblade chronicles 1 where items can be collected via a pop up menu after opening chest.

I knew you were going to try this.

You know after the solo blade run I tried it out for myself this one however looks way harder than that.

He called his blade yuri

I'm gonna try this! I swear though, if Dahlia is my first rare blade I pull one more time, I know I'm cursed 😅💀

This is pretty spicy :P

ill buy merch cause you said itd make me look handsome, im trusting you

More Xenoblade content. Lets goooo

This video made me buy a sweater

Hmm, I feel like gimping Tora was bit too rough, I think that just having tora just normal and just not being able to use that form and not just straight up basically ruining her would still be acceptable. I have no problem just after facing bosses, being able to draw blades, like facing routes. With the rates just no grinding for core Crystal's and and any story obtained cores would be fine, in my opinion

Stole this ruleset from your stream, got an Orb Master common in Chapter 4 and destroyed the whole game with it

MORE, Master!

This video makes me wish we could name common blades 😂😂

I feel like I'm good at this challenge and would be shit at this (I remember when I first played I thought Zeke sucked but tbf that was before Pandoria got jacked out of her mind and DLC powercreept Nia)

Seeing those rare blades released hurt. At least you didn’t release KOS-MOS

Finally starting Torna this week to celebrate Mythra in Smash. Any tips?

Next time, Commons only and one Blade per Driver at a time. 👀 Also, while I doubt you'll do this (since you like challenge), what if you were to assign each Driver a weapon type and you just rolled until the Driver has that weapon? Like say, giving Nia Twin Rings.

Dammit, i missed the finale

This man be reading even the newest comments. Great video btw

Something I’m wondering since I’ve never done it, can you redraw rare blades you release?

If you lose more than 1 blade I'm gonna be sad

I’m in the middle of a Pokémon red Nuzlocke with Xenoblade 2 characters as the Nicknames. So this video was very deja vu for me.

Bringer of Chaos nuzlocke when?

Even though I personally find Nuzlockes boring and often don't enjoy watching them, I love seeing the crazy ideas people have on Nuzlockes. It's interesting because some games with collectible creatures have forced loss battles so you can't do a nuzlocke on them. But you can do Nuzlockes in some Hot Wheels games. Also, kids, please don't do hungerlockes or sleeplockes, that's literally unhealthy and may have long term consequences.

I really want the smash outfit of pyra ingame...

When do you stream on Twitch? I've recently caught up on all the xenosaga videos, so I want to start watching live.

21:07 omg he picked Pyra over Mythra 🥲🥰

Does anyone know what music was being used at the beginning of the video? (after the merch at 0:20, anyway) It doesn't sound like anything I can remember from Xenoblade, so I was thinking it might be from Xenosaga; either way, it's giving me serious Phantasy Star vibes, and I love that

Common blades are pretty strong, huh
