Thanks, guess Miiverse has got some uses then.

Fucked with Blossom dance a bit last night, it was alright but I feel I’ll need to do a full potential gouge build to make it nuts, happy enough to swing around my beam saber for now whilst I farm for some better treasure sensor gear, to find better gear for farming, to find better gear for farming shit I’m not even sure what I’m looking for.

The bloody rabbit hole has me.

Got the skells I’m using atm to finally get in line right for a picture, believe it or not there is a couple of deck chairs and an umbrella behind them and the umbrella is just too low to actually sit your character on the chair, whhhyyyyyyyyyy?

Fuck skells, train hard enough and you don’t need them to fly.

Still got my old Verus knocking around in the hanger, it’s aight but when you take on harder tyrants the only level 50s that don’t melt like butter are the heavies and even they don’t stick around too long. (edit: looking at it again that’s my level 30 one, yeah dead to anything in seconds these days lol)

My Verus got oneshot by some random Lv30 jet plane Tyrant last night… I was confused as fuck.

323

Fuck any quests around the toxic lake in calderos, I swear I can’t do anything and not aggro the tyrant there

324

Kill it.

325

If it isn’t the level 60 amudais(which can still get murked if it’s focused on long enough) evasion skells have better surviabilty once you stack it to 300-500.

Also Lailah 60 has great surviabilty in overdrive. It gets a heal over time, restores lost appendages, takes reduced damage, is immune to debuffs and naturally has jamming which stops those homing attacks enemies use.

326

G-Buster OP, @Iduno lol

327

Lol I honestly didn’t realise we could use skells on that mission.

G buster’s pretty nice, running energy scythe on mine though, hits twice with backslash modifier with base damage being about 5000 under G2 buster.

328

Chapter 12 got me grinding lol… Lv43 and 3 Lv30 Skells ain’t good enough.

Going HAM in Overdrive is soooo fun. I stop worrying about damage partway through the carnage and start focusing on keeping it up as long as possible like some kind of minigame.

329

Boost the top manufacturer to 5 then check the shop

330

Yoo… These are fuckin’ expensive :open_mouth:. Gonna try to go for that Lailah, though.

331

Tbh a Veerus should do the job, also comes with a level 50 g-buster that’s serviceable if you don’t feel like farming for an intergalactic one or a g2 buster…

332

I have a Lv50 G2-Buster already. Don’t know where I picked it up, but I have it.

333

Good, that thing melts faces so fast, yeah just strap it on any level 50 skell and push chapter 12’s shit in.

334

Hopefully it works out… It’s fucked up how that area is set up. You die, you break your Skells, you’re fucked.

PSA: Save your game before starting Ch.12.

I got a bold ass cat licking its junk on my table :mad:

335

Alright beat the story, done a lot of things and can confirm Xenoblade Chronicles X > Xenogears > Xenosaga Episode III > Episode I > Episode II

words can’t describe how outstanding and rpg genre redefining XCX really is. _ If industry developers seek to learn from any game to improve their own games, it should be XCX.

I got some gripes about the game that I’m gonna argue with you about after I finish this chapter(amazing game, though), but until then…

Change the damn thread title :mad:

337

Shot of what my skell looks like so far

https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69iugiPwPWessgP

I just recently purchased one for Elma and I’m thinking about getting a new one for myself soon…good lord these things are expensive though.

338

I was tempted to do the double-lightsaber thing myself, but the impracticality of it made me decide against it. Having two of that attack doesn’t really do you much good. Man… I wish they had fashion gear options for weapons.

Edit: I found the most godlike farming spot/method for the mid-40 characters with Lv30 Skells.

https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69iuiYQkggUdLAD

Cauldros-Capital Wreckage. It has a bunch of Lv53-55 crab enemies that give a good amount of EXP. I open up with G-Buster which staggers 80% of the time, then I Bind. Lin follows up with her own G-Buster and takes it out. Swept the area a few times real quick and ended up getting most of my team to 50+ before Lin’s Skell ran out of fuel. Irina jumped from 34 to 47 after I put EXP Boost gear on her. Managed to max out the Class I was leveling as well, so now I’m a Drifter(5 Skill slots) with Longsword/Dual Guns. I’m OP as fuck, and broke ass Ghostwalker makes it worse.

Now I just gotta get this money and buy a Lv50 Skell.

339

Yeah double lightsaber looks cool but it’s not great for combat and you only get to see both being held at once in the menu anyway.

Tbh I mostly go for what gives good debuffs or gives more evade stat for spare weapons rather than damage.

340

I’m starting to get real sad whenever I am forced into fights that I can’t use my skell. I’m scrambling to determine how the hell to get through Ch 9 right now, considering that my skell is what got me through the last two chaps. On ground I suck (Duelist). I swear, as soon as I hit rank 10 on that shit, I’m SOOOOO bailing and heading down the Beamlord path…
