you need to use the blade combos that appear on the top right of the screen. for a blade combo you need to hit a special with a certain element 3 times. the first time needs to be at least a level 1 special, second step is at least level 2 and last one has to be a level 3. you know you triggered it because you'll get the cutscene. if you hit with that, an orb will be set. each orb lets you do an extra round in the chain attack and increases the multipliers.

I've heard the canceling art is very good, yeah. It's like 3-5k points though and I'm a little bit off yet. I assume after that I want the ones that let me use arts instantly in battle?

No other ability is as important, and I didn't get it until about chapter 5ish. Just beeline through the story, the game is loooong as each chapter gets longer.

After trying for a couple hours last night, I got a "perfect" run through of Tiger Tiger stage 5 tonight on my very first try. I was rewarded with my third Dark Elemental Core, which is absolutely useless, but it felt nice to get it done.

Hi I am very smart and forgot how to (chapter 8 spoilers) activate SSJ Pyra. I know you need gold affinity and a max party gauge, but I don't remember what button to press Edit: Nevermind, found it TurnipFritter fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Dec 23, 2017 |

nerdz posted:Fire is possibly the best element to have orb master, since you can open up with fire, water and ice for 3 easy orbs. I did most of the superbosses with only a fire orb master. I still need to max out Orb Master on Nia's blade because the last 2 upgrades involve blocking and dodging which is... fun.  its curtains for Kevin posted:That makes breakresist reduction valuable IIRC, super bosses aren't resistant to breaks they're immune to them completely. If you try to break then you get a "no effect" and not a "resist" message like with most enemies. At least one superboss has to be immune otherwise toppling them would almost certain result in them falling to their death. Evil Fluffy fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Dec 23, 2017 |

Several (almost all) superbosses are not immune to break, but they’ll reliably resist it without a high-end Beta Scope.

CharlestheHammer posted:Man I can not get any Cubic diamonds or whatever for the poppi side quest. Cubic Diamonds are very rare. A good spot to mine them in Mor Ardain would be in the lower level, near the landmark labelled "Pipe..." If you haven't discovered this landmark yet, I would suggest poking around in the upper level; The Mine Pit and Elevator might lead you in the right direction, and there's a separate section where you might be able to bound downwards towards the titular pipes in the rock. There's only one mining point afterwards so having Brighid is great since her Mineralogy helps farm it fast.

I'm having a lot of trouble traversing these maps. I'm on the main quest in Tantal and it told me they have three hours to do... something, but I have absolutely no idea how to get to the lower levels of the map. This sort of thing has been happening a lot, and the waypoints really do not help at all.

Finished the game. Ending was kinda trite, and I really don't get the whole thing with Titans becoming part of earth. Why? I loving bust a gut laughing when I saw that Pyra and Mythra got split up when they revived at the end. Holy poo poo, really, game? Can't say the ending was particularly satisfying, aside from the fact that it ended at all. It doesn't look like it had any connection to 1 or X, which is fine, I guess - I still don't understand why Malos had the Monado out of nowhere, though. What the gently caress was that? All in all, I'm kinda glad I'm done playing this game. I'm of half a mind to Youtube the stuff I missed, and half a mind to just forget it and do something else. Pollyanna posted:Also, conjecture. There is only one reason why they're hiding Addam's face: he looks like either Rex, or Shulk. Following up on this: They never show his face.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The Master Blades don't lose their memory when they return to a Core Crystal. It's explicitly stated that all the Blades are uploading to them each time they return to their Core Crystal, so they just retain all their memories/data. Wow, this makes the ending even stupider if everyone knew all along that Pyra and Mythra were going to retain their memories.

This sort of thing has been happening a lot, and the waypoints really do not help at all. From the Theosoir Main Gate, go straight forward to the Blacksmith and follow along the wall until you can go down. You should be in the southeast of Theosoir on the main map. Follow the awkward path down until you get outside the city. Follow the road/platform south, then head east when you get the chance. You're eventually gonna hit the Twin Pillars, which looks like a dead end, but you need to break the ice up top by walking on it, then knock the big ice pillar down to make a new bridge to get across. Then there's a lot of ruins in a dungeon-like area that you have to navigate and I have no helpful advice for that but the important thing is that you need to be heading downward. Honestly this was the part where I said screw it and burnt through my inn experience to bump my level up to like 50 so I wouldn't have to worry about constant fighting. (Don't worry, you aren't time restricted)

Xenoblade ending stuff: It's also setup where The Architect is the 'good' and remorseful half of Klaus while Zanza is the 'evil' and power-hungry half of him. The weird thing though is that Pyra's power will apparently come to an end due to The Conduit leaving? There's nothing in XC1 that suggests Shulk's Monado's power diminishes in any way after the story ends.ntan1 posted:
I legit thought that was what happened at first. Gramps flying through some 'rift' that suddenly takes them from Morytha to an endless ocean with a pair of islands on it? They absolutely intended to mreference XC1's new world even if it's not a merger of those two realities.

Just the Blue-Hair Super-Mode Creation powers.

nerdz posted:Basically ditch all the attackers and control a healer yourself ch 8 Do you use Nia yourself? I had the extremely good/bad luck of having all my good healers end up on Nia, which means I'd have to pull like a nutcase for the remaining healers on Zeke if I wanted to run Rex+Nia/a second healer/tank, or burn Overdrives. I have 3 of those left to use, at least. Also Vess' crystal left, at least. If I left Nia as a Driver I could scrape together two healers for Rex easily, but I'd be giving up on apparently the strongest healing blade in the game.

I have 3 of those left to use, at least. Also Vess' crystal left, at least. If you have her on rex, you won't really need anyone else healing once you max out her stuff, she's really strong both in healing and in damage dealing. Hell, her passive healing is already better than healing partners by itself, it's crazy. Her cooldowns are also really low so you can use only her for healing, though I have a secondary healing blade. You can make your partners full on tanks or hybrid tank attackers and it will work out fine. Just make sure you have a good spread of elements to get as many orbs as possible.

Questions related to Chapter 7 stuff: 1. Once I get Pyra back, can Rex ever unequip her? I've already had spoiled the fact that Rex can later use anyone's blades, by the way (though not the surrounding context/story reason). Turning Nia into a blade seems immensely impractical seeing as how she's the only possible dedicated healer driver (and it seems like a really bad idea to give a healer any non-healing blades, since they might be using the wrong thing when a heal is needed). I wouldn't mind making Rex into a healer if Pyra/Mythra could be unequipped, with Zeke serving as DPS (I've already been using Zeke/Nia/Morag), but I have a hunch I'll be stuck with Pyra again once I get her back. 2.Story related, but what exactly happened in Nia's past? Did her dad somehow do, uh, something to her that turned her into a blade somehow in an effort to save her sister? Was the "sister/father" thing just a metaphor for her originally being her sister's blade? I'm not sure how a non-blade Nia being turned into a blade would be related to try to save her sister's life. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Dec 23, 2017 |
