    Something worth pointing out is Fiona's chain attack order; she refills the chain attack gauge after her order is complete, which can give you up to 5 normal orders followed by an Ouroboros order. It's another great example of how insanely strong Fiona's (and the Signifer class's as a whole) support is.

      Sometimes that can screw you over though. If you get it at the start of a chain attack it's useless, and sometimes you may get unlucky and not have enough characters to complete a chain attack with an extra order. And I've had both happen to me regularly. That's why I always go Ashera.

    I really loved Fiona's character in this game. The colony is probably the most normal colony of people in the entire game, to a large extent because of Fiona. I found her honesty, lack of ego and her ability to care about something more than war refreshing. It was very amusing that she very much entertained the idea that the flame clock was hidden to make the colony look better than it probably was. The whole Joan of Arc archetype was pretty refreshing to see in Xenoblade too.

I think it broke her.
      SPOILER FOR A QUEST:
      There is also a later quest with Triton where he mentions an "old Friend" Consul who always carried about a Box with things she treasured. Considering he remembered it in Colony Mu there's implication that was Irma ... and when we find her Hideout the only things in the Box where things from Fiona.

      Then, I tried experimenting, and this works with Cross Impact and Resonant Flag as well. If you do that as a fusion art, everyone automatically gets power charge, cause when I tested it, the healer didn’t have power charge, but using the cross impact/resonate flag fusion art not only gave the user power charge, but gave the entire party power charge as well.

    Funnily, the blaze field from yumsmith *does* count as a field effect/healer role action based on my testing. Which is pretty good since my other healer runs advanced cooldown and Signifer has one of the highest atk stat for a healer class iirc.

    I love how XC2 trained me to put healers under the magnifying glass in this game.

    a small correction, on the accesory guide, Veneris Ring specifically, it can only be acceced in chapter 7 byt story progress, its barred out of reach until then
    also, Signifer is trully the strongest, also Fiona, cause her rder is bonkers, it actually fills the meter by half, so if you get it in the third round, you get 2 extra rounds before the Ouroboros

    Hey enel, i was going to comment this on yesterdays vid but seeing how this is here now ill put it here. I believe skills like mad taunt talent art and nobel taunt work is they do nothing if you already have aggro, but if you dont have aggro on a mob it automatically pulls aggro you by matching whoever has aggros aggro. Ive had my tank get up after dying and nobel taunt to get aggro back right away. Hope this can be confirmed somehow, but hope it helps.

I thought their consul would be like some guy who was obsessed with cute things. Like some kind of idol manger character. Or think of the yakuza guy from Kotaro Lives Alone. For it to be Irma, I was surprised. I thought she would have been killed by the consul- not that she was the consul. Also, Niko is the best NPC

    @ShermTank7272 Před rokem +5

    With field effects, I think there may be some sort of cap on the total number of field effects. I had a few Stalkers and Lost Vanguards in the party, and between them and the healers, I noticed that when there was about 4 or 5 field effects active, when another was created, the oldest field art was converted into a buff for everyone who was standing in that field art when it dissolved. For example, Lost Vanguard's Electro Field was converted into an Armor Veil buff on the tank after the Stalkers and Healers put their own field effects down.
    Given the variety of field effects, especially Medic Gunner's Attack Up, there could be some way to cheese this and convert your field effects into yet more buffs that Signifier could spread to the party

    I found out very early on just how broken this class is. I even have the exact same set of arts! Very fun class to play as and overwhelming my opponents with buff spamming is real satisfying. One thing I would recommend is pairing Cross Impact with Resonant Flag because the fusion art during chain attacks will always apply power charge to everyone even if the Signifer doesn't already have it themselves.

It's that it's just, stupidly fun, actually, to play? Like just looping buffs on everybody literally kept me entertained from the moment I unlocked this class until I beat the final boss. I feel pretty good about having hit on the exact moveset you showed off though-- passing Power Charge to everyone for free every couple seconds is so completely insane, it's great.

    Not exactly relevant to this particular guide, but I noticed you never recommend Ultimate Qigong as a master skill on physical DPS classes. While the description is misleading, it does ignore enemy resistances even when going into the negatives, meaning a 0% phys res enemy would always be considered as having a -50% phys resistance. This is more or less a 50% independant multiplier (well, the only thing it stacks additively with is other sources of phys penetration and the phys def down debuff) that is always on, which is extremely strong. Is there any reason I'm not aware of to not use it over some other "free damage filler" options like Dynamite Spirit/fighting prowess, which afaik stack additively with most other sources of increased damage ?
