those fights are tough, I had to make sure I was running a holy trinity of pure dps / tank / healer. If you find that Rex ends up with agro anyway, making one of his 3 blades a tank blade can help out significantly with damage taken. Stack +hp % gear as accessories. The story fights with him are...

I think there is 3 that you can find and the other 5 come from maxing out each persons talent tree / personal chart. It takes significant time to do this and usually all happens at roughly the same general time for everyone. I had heard you can get overdrives by maxing out a 4 star non-unique...

early on I think Roc is one of the only "smash" Blades. Some of the tank blades can Launch, and the break / topple is normally handled by your standard crew. Make sure you keep tabs on your "4th" weapon ability, I didn't put in Rolling Smash on Rex until the very end and it seemed to really help...

favorite pouch items for the blades can be force-fed to raise affinity but its really slow as you only get 10-15 per item that is their favorite. I found that completing side quests with the blades you wanted to raise affinity with in the active slots (they didnt have to be the one visible but...

I agree. I enjoy the combat systems and the "grind" in all 3 XC games. At this point they are must buy games for me. I bought a Switch in Nov to get used to it before XC2 came out. I hope they keep going with the Xenoblade Universe, they have the framework setup to do it There is a...

I got lucky and got her pretty early on, seeing how rare she is I feel pretty fortunate to get her. Wish there was a better system for getting the rare blades

took out the 117 on the first attempt this time after properly re-gearing for him. Tried the 130 and 1-shotted him as well, hes not the most difficult by far in my opinion. Wrapped up the rest of my quests so all that there is remaining to do is the weaving / baking / tigertiger / trust grind...

Agro has a hard time keeping up in this game, the 3rd poppi is a dps and I havent done tiger tiger enough to see if you can convert her to a tank (im sure you can) but I preferred Morag to Tora because I could kit Morag out with 3 tank blades for the extra agro right from the get go. Even with...

farmed up the 114 boss quite a few times, hes not too bad. smoked the 120 down the first time, hes super low health. Took a few runs to get the 100 down, hes a driver and considerably beefy and does a ton of damage.. I've still got the 117 and the 130 left to try out, going to see if I can take...

real close to wrapping things up, got everyone to 99 and most of the rare blades fleshed out (not gonna grind affinity on all of em if I'm not gonna use em). Found all the pouch expansions and maxed development with all the places plus got almost all the store deeds. I beat the 104, 109 and 110...

Im just about done with everything, lvl 98 and got most of my "good" blades maxed. Finishing up a last few bit of quests, still missing a few blades and there are a few more monsters that I need to find and take down, pretty much all the lvl 100+ guys. If it takes a significant amount of...

when I "closed out" the game so that no user was logged in to it, it automatically downloaded and applied the update, but it wouldn't do it while you are basically "windowed out" of the game and someone is logged in.

3 other quick tips for increasing damage or suitability : always remember to upgrade blade chips when you get to a new town, thats one of the easiest damage upgrades. When you see the little box on the right side for an "affinity upgrade" with a blades face in the background, make sure you...

eventually you will want "rare blades" (the named ones with unique looks and abilities) as your secondary blades, so I wouldn't worry too much early on. Pay attention to the role of the blade you have as your secondary (tank, healer, attacker) as that will affect your drivers stats and damage...

The element combo'ing is new but the base combat system and the skill upgrades and affinity chart is also similar XC and XCX both had gear instead of just weapons but they all share a lot in common. I really liked the XCX combat style and flow at the end of the game but it was rough at the...

working through Chapter 5 now, havent had great luck with getting rare blades, but my team is getting pretty well fleshed out. stacking the proper blade types to change your "class" to fit is really helpful. For the longest time I was only running around with 1-2 blades on everyone like a...

I think I was lvl 27-28 when I did the end of 3. The damage output gets significant at times. Most of my guys are running at least 1 +hp accessory and have the first tier of SP hitpoint bonus unlocked on the sbility wheel Ive been going with rex / nia / tora in my party, I dont like playing...

playing the previous 2 xenoblade games helps a lot in picking up some of this stuff I think, for anyone coming new into it the learning curve is steep. I remember in XC1 not really knowing about the chain attack feature till the very end and I didn't augment my gear until the very end at all...

yeah, I will look into trying Luck stacking are you guys finding the aux crystals worth messing with at an earlier level? In preivous Xeno games I never did the augmenting till I got the good stuff and just hoarded materials till then.

Im in chapter 3 right now. Ive still got 1 set of "???" on the main menu between "blades" and "items". Is there a chain-attack type feature that gets unlocked with max party tension (3 bars). It looks like its the "+" button on the controller according to the combat controls guide but i havent...

so I am guessing that Edgedancer is probably a necessary read before Oathbringer? I've read so many books inbetween #2 and Oathbringer that I may need to look up a good summary to get me back up to speed.

I sat in one of the Herman Miller Aeron's at a fancy office design place and I wasn't all that into it based on the serious amount of money that they cost. Their Envelope Pocket Desk was also pretty cool, but the portion that stayed level was really narrow and there were no drawers. I like the...

Finding a meaningful currency would be the most difficult thing. If you make it gold then what do you use more gold for when you have 100+ billion? Unless someone has enough keystones to never need to run a yellow rift then its really hard to not have more gold than what you need. The nature of...

I think I would like to see a version of the AH return, but I think it would have to be more of a bartering or trade house than a posted auction house. What we saw in the RMAH / Gold Auction house was a straight clusterfuck. Drops were skewed so badly back then that most legendaries were crappy...

All the games workshop stuff can be hard to find outside of printed books or their own produced audio-books. I really wish they were on Kindle, but I usually end up buying them in paper to keep anyways. I'm still on the fence on some of the newer writers they seem to have. The first 3 books in...

Myself and a buddy are possibly looking to get into this game. We will probably do healer and tank as main jobs. Can someone familiar with the game give me a brief summary of what we might expect playing through with 2 players and what what things will be good / bad with the current state of the...

picked up a dimmer switch today and paired it up works exactly like you said (as expected) and completely solves that problem I had. Thanks for the quick reply, its much appreciated.

got a question for you guys who are familiar with the Philips Hue lights Is there a light switch that works with the hue lights to basically keep the light on so that it can still be toggled off / on with the app, but the bulb will be off? Is this what the Hue Dimmer Switches do? We are wanting...

with the amount of injuries to WR and RB so far this year, I would personally only roster a 2nd QB to fill an immediate bye week need if you had a stud QB already. Early in the year with so many committee RB situations I think having a share in some of those could prove to be valuable down the...

I like the 2 RBs as safe options. I feel more confident on McKinnon than I do Langford. With Cutler out and Jeffery a big question mark Langford might have some extra company in the box if they cant get a pass game established. Both RBs are decent pass catchers. The vikings o-line is pretty good...

I would go with Luck over Carr I see that Indy / SD game as probably going to be a shoot-out, or at least a lop-sided high scoring game. Oakland seems to be trying to get the running game going and Tenn does a lot of ground attack as well which just shreds the clock in a game. Tenn has a really...

Man its getting really hard to work up the will to play. I mostly play Non-Seasonal chars. Played a lot during S5, significantly less during S6. Not sure what the point will be for S7 era. Everything got nerfed and its hard to keep grinding I guess ill prolly switch over to WoW and lay low a...

Dabbled with football last year in a pretty minor way. I ended up liking the 50/50s a lot more than the tournaments. I cashed low on a few cheap tourneys but its pretty depressing to see the top lineups that often have quite a bit of salary cap left over and some very strange choices win and...

absolutely go WRs in a PPR format. Brown is a pretty clear #1, OBJ and Julio for 2/3. Julio has the size but that foot is always cause for concern and Matt Ryan was rough last year. Julio still did well despite that. All 3 of those top guys have competent and pretty durable QBs throwing to them...

I haven't played the 3ds version but I'm pretty sure its not much different than the original wii version. If that is the case then I very much feel Chronicles is worth getting. I did a lot of the completionist things on it and put in a solid 125ish hours on it and felt it was a good game...

wrapped this up completely the other day, looks like I clocked in at about 250 hours. Got 100% survey on Mira, maxed all chars levels and affinity, completed every mission and killed all the tyrants and super-bosses. The last few bosses required significant farming and gearing, I probably spent...

been grinding hard on this and coming down the home stretch now. I've got just a few missions left to finish up, and Im at about 95% survey / completion rate on every tile. Mostly just some affinity missions and heart to hearts to wrap up with the occasional quest / tyrant still to kill (Blood...

im not as far through the story as Derkon but so far the game is pretty good, the story is ok but not really the reason I'm playing it. backup characters catch to within 10ish levels of your mains pretty fast, but leveling is a grindy. I agree you will probably need to look up stuff for...

yeah I would advise on doing the non-affinity missions and side-quests with a crew other than Elma and Lin, as they seem to be in almost all the story missions and a lot of the affinity missions. Your affinity level with them will be pretty good, but for Irinia, Gwin, Doug, HB, L and the other...

Im up to Chapter 9 as well. I did some probe work last night. I was worried if I moved a probe I would lose it, and since you can't seem to buy them anywhere I didn't want to do that. Was experimenting with the crappy lvl1 mining probes and saw that they go back into inventory (thankfully) if...
