"What is my purpose"
You use the smash art.
"Oh my God."
How to use Roc:
1. If the enemy has been launched, switch to Roc and use Wing Smash.
2. Switch back to a better blade
Honestly, if I wanted my pfp to be accurate to my name, I should switch it to Roc, lol. Ok that’s a little too mean.
3. Replace him with corvin when you can
That's exactly how I used him lol.
That's exactly how I use him.
He might not be very useful, or fun to use, but he IS Roc, and he always has been, and he always will be.
HE? Last time I checked, Roc's gender is 4.
@@justinbowman1342 We're hitting levels of nonbinary that shouldn't be possible.... (That said, Roc uses female physical mannerisms and male speech mannerisms (in Japanese, where you can do that at least).
"Vandams best blade"
it hurt itself in confusion
Rip Aussie Man
What do you mean? Using Roc on Vandham is broken, especially on the final boss obviously
That's just mean man
I think that Roc was intended to be a "safety net" blade of sorts. His low damage combined with his critical rate, his aggro reduction skill, and his low hp skills makes him a good blade to switch to when Rex is being targeted, while the 30 second damage boost serves to help you out before the battle escalates. Combined with how early you get him in the game, he's also a good beginner blade that serves to encourage the player to practice important combat elements, such as aggro management and driver combos.
Roc is the Hulk of Xenoblade 2. All he does is smash
Name: Roc
Formerly: Roc
Will be: Roc
Gender: 4
"A child? Don't make me laugh! this kid...has made himself Roc's driver!" - Malos
Roc is a cool blade. He’s a massive bird, uses dual scythes, and his former driver is a mercenary leader!
Roc is amazing. Always has been, always will be!
Roc: "I, AM ROC, PLEASURE TO MEET YOU"
Me: "Hello, smash art"
Roc: "... huh"
Don't sleep on that Launch art on Vandham though. Very important
This but...kinda unironically? Muscle Uppercut is the first truly good Launch art you'll have access to. The other pre-Pandoria Launch arts are on Rex's Greataxe, which has decent Arts but terrible animation speed, and Nia's Knuckle Claw, which suffers from, well, being a physical weapon on Nia. Vandham gives the party a setup which can actually execute Driver Combos with some level of optimization, at least for a short while.
(This setup is Rex/Nia/Vandham with Corvin on Rex. Rex will be fine tanking because Corvin, and he'll actually get the Topple off unlike Tora.)
@@jordanthejq12 That, but also Muscle Uppercut has better synergy with Crimson Storm
I kinda like Roc, he has a cool design, unique weapon type, and has a bit of charm. Too bad he sucks in battle and loses all relevancy in the story, always has, always will.
"Man I love chaining these driver combos AFK!"
AI Rex refusing to switch off Roc: I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE!
Honestly, Roc may have been more suited to Vandham than Rex. See, you say that the level 4 is contradictory to the smash art, but on Vandham it synergies better because he has a launch art instead, and you can just cancel muscle uppercut into Crimson Storm, and with launch duration extension, could lead the way for someone else to smash. The fact that Vandham has great stats (especially in strength) for a driver compared to the others, I’d say that Roc would be better on Vandham had Vandham been a permanent party member, it’s actually more fun with Roc on Vandham anyhow. Now if only someone could make mod for permanent Vandham...
Watching this, it just occurred to me that "Immovable Heir Carlos" is intended to be the descendant of Immovable Gonzalez from the first Xenoblade.
I love it
Immovable Gonzalez is in this game too
@@willycheez7218 Yep! Poppy even mentions him by name in a cutscene. That completely slipped my mind when I commented this. I still think the connection is cool though
@@HybridAngelZero Yeah. I think the Reinventing The Gogol challenge even takes place where you fight Immovable Gonzalez
“ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE!” I just love using this line just because why not. Thanks for the guide Enel! Also tbh I’m also just waiting for the Kosmos guide just because I managed to get her in Chapter 5 while opening cores and salvaging in Indol... I wasn’t even intending to get her I was just opening cores to see what I would get!
THE NAME IS ROC. ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE
How good is Roc? Used by Rex, Roc smashes paper and scissors
"He- or 4..." I see what you did there.
Roc is cool. I wish he stayed more relevant throughout the story though
These are so well done, can’t wait for the dagas guide aka put on party member
Who is Dagas? You mean Kaiser Zone?
I thought this video was just going to be “use the smash art” then it would end
Gender: 4
I'm so happy the blade guides are back! Keep it up Enel!
Maybe Roc's level IV has launch damage up because Vandham has a launch art? But the smash art is better for obvious long term reasons and QT pi has launch and the best break art in one extremely overpowered package. I don't know, that's just a weird effect.
Ah yes, the best blade type
Four
I wish they let you keep Vandam in NG+ and you could overdrive any blade to him.
Although objectively he's not that great, I almost never have Roc off of Rex in a casual playthrough. It felt like having Vandham there for the rest of the game in spirit.
Obligatory always has been always will be
Thanks so much for creating these videos! They’re really helping me with post game builds and it’s curing my dependency on fioras crit heal screw edge build you showed in an earlier video 😂
Thank you for these videos! I'm still improving my blades and these guides have been a great help :D
you have no idea how hyped i am for all of these blade videos
I love how you go into so much depth with the skills and battle tests. Can't wait to see a Blade Nia guide because I rarely hear anyone talk about her.
So glad to see the blade guides back.
I like Roc's design and character. Not much to say...If I were to upgrade him, I would have Storm and Stress not have the 30 second time limit. I would also increase his auto-attack damage by 100 from the listed value in the video.
A note about Roc's level 4 special: when used as the 3rd special in a blade conbo, the launch freezes and allows him to do big time damage on stuff like Volcanic Storm, AND still get the smash off if timed correctly.
Edit: I say Volcanic Storm specifically so you can build Volcano and then use it as a finisher. This means just with story blade (Pyra, Wulfric, and Roc) you can Break/Stone, Topple/Volcano, and Smash/Volcanic Storm.
Thanks Enel for another informative guide.
I used all story blades against Aion.
Rex had Mythra, Nia, and Roc
Tora had Poppi a + QT
Zeke used Pandoria
Roc works surprisingly well with Mythra and Nia. You can go ham with Mythra, once you start taking damage, switch to Roc, since he has an Art that is stronger when Rex has low HP. Once you use his Evasion Art to dodge an Enemy Art, switch to Nia and heal back all the damage you take.
I’m literally on chapter 5 on the first time why do I watch all of these
It's your subconscious mind debating with your inherriant OCD if you want to spend hours grinding S+ trust on all Rare blades because I'd look oh so good when you open your blade page.
@@tgclericoll572 Ehhm, you should seriously reconsider doing that with Ursula though 😂
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 I did Ursula like 2 years ago bud
@@tgclericoll572 Ohh, so you too went through the hell of her side quests, I feel moved right now. Frankly, the devs could have reduced the side quests to a 10% of the actual challenge, that was a nightmare.
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 I did it twice actually. It got reset for NG+ and was nagging me in my sidequest tab.
These videos are why i got back into xenoblade.
I tend to use a set up of Mythra, Zenobia, and Roc on Rex. At least that way I have most of the Driver Combo on Rex and I can just wait for someone else to break an enemy. In short, Roc literally sits there doing nothing unless I need to Smash something.
ROC[K] SMASH!! Omg after 200 hours I finally get it
Roc isn't programmed as a 1 for Male Blade, 2 for Female Blade, or 3 for Animal Blade. He, and only he, is programmed as 4. As Rex's only Smash art (without DLC), they knew he forever would be the 4th slot.
"I am Roc, always have been, always will be, in your 4th slot."
Edit: I just realized you said "Him or 4".
technically poppibuster i believe also shares the 4 designation, but i assume thats because poppibuster is both a male and female robot due to poppi mk.II
I never playd roc but still this is helpfull keep up the good work and videos 👍
ENEL CONTENT LETS GOOOO
For a future video can you please do a video on the best driver combo party setups at different points in the game such as when the full break, topple, launch, smash combo is first possible in the game. A mid point team and then an endgame team outlining which drivers and blades are used as well as accessories, aux cores, chips, pouch items and all. I have only ever found one team setup that will work to do the full combo but I am curious what the best setups are and how fast and often you can possibly do the combo. Thank you.
Damn, and I used this levitating son of a gun heavily during both of my playthroughs. Seems I have to admit, that I have no idea which attributes, skills and effects in Xenoblade games are good or bad.
Otherwise, a damn Roc-solid guide. I love these!
I have Mythra and Roc on Rex in chapter 4 along with Corvin
I hate that i have to use him just for his smash art
You misspelled love
IKs that the last of the guaranteed blades? How will the others be organized? By element? By weapon class? Alphabetically?
Storm and Stress could've been something else and that would've really helped out.
Maybe instead of increasing damage for the first 30 seconds of a fight, it should've constantly increased you offense every 30 seconds that pass.
8:07 I got that reference
the best part about roc is that you can say the number 4 and every xenoblade 2 fan will know what you’re talking about
*AND THAT 4S ROC*
*ALWAYS HAS BEEN*
*ALWAYS WILL BE*
Roc the blade I only use for wind field skill and smash combat art and also....
to respect Vandham. So I use him all the time.
Looks like now we have a guide on how to use the Pootis bird in this game
Can you smell what the Roc is cooking? A WING SMASH!
Ah Mr. Roc you may be a cool blade, but you're quite the forgettable boi still though Vandham would be proud :)
Help Enel.
My current tem is:
-Tora with qtpi;
-Zeke with dagas for the topple and kaizer zone;
- Rex with roc for the smash.
I wanna switch roc with another smasher. I got corvin but should I give it to rex or Zeke? If I give it to zeke, I put mythra on rex as a main toppler but, I loose dagas Kaiser zone right? Or is Kaiser zone like a passive that is active even if he isn't in combat?
nah kaizer zone only works if dagas is active. Better to use corvin on rex.
Storm and Stress reads like you don't get the percentage until AFTER the first 30 seconds
I know this is off topic, but how do you get burst affinity and synergy bonuses in Xenoblade Definitive. By the way, great video.
its just a cooldown period, critical hits, missed attacks, stuff like that all works
But what if you go to New Game Plus and level grind Vandahm?
I mean sure, most of the Titans are off limits to him, but you can use him in Challenge Mode.
But ngl when he does his lvl4 special, and tells Rex to follow his lead it really does feel like vandhams still helping Rex
Vandham still lives in Rex.
We will roc you!
So next is nia or aegaeon right?
Yesterday started xenoblade chronicles 2 ⭐️NewGame plus game ⭐️
Number 4 my beloved
I'm honestly curious what builds could be done if someone hacked blades onto other drivers, like letting someone else use QTpi
no arts exist for QTpi on other drivers so this wouldn't really work
"Since he, or 4"
lmao I love that
I wonder how you'll deal with Catalyst :o
Was the other highest level enemy you were talking about that one aspar from that one challenge?
strategizer nitro from the mk challenge. It's level 200 but also cannot be hurt really and just blows up later.
@@EnelXC were you talking about the enemy's initial level or the enemy's final/potential level?
speaking of vandham has anyone max out his chart in NG+
I was surprised he had 1 at all tbh
Roc best 4.
You know, looking through this comment section 9 months later, I'm suprised I haven't seen a single "lemme smash" joke considering that's pretty much all the bird man's good at.
How did it feel to build Roc? That merc mission skill tree is annoying
Completely off topic, but I saw something on your Twitter...
My cousin decked out Vandham before the boss fight. Maybe not his best decision.
Can you do Fiora next piz.
she will come eventually no worries
FOR VANDHAAMMMMMMM
For a blade that doesn't have very high damage output, there sure is quite a few ways to set him up. TFW you matter so little that it doesn't matter what you help with.
Hi! Which challenge should I play to get Affinity Max Atk VI?
Buy devoted marigold nia aux core for 20 flawless stones. It has same effect
@@GurpreetSingh-rx9cw thank you!
chickenheart challenge also works
@@EnelXC thanks! ✌🏻
What did you mean about not applying the fusion combo in the right order?
hitting a blade special on a running driver combo does lots more dmg than hitting a driver combo on a running blade combo
@@maximilianbehrens3471 but he did the special after the driver combo started, so I’m still not sure what he meant.
3:03, wait, Storm & Stress doesn't reactivate every time you switch to Roc?
Why does the Architect allow crap like this to happen?
Nevermind that the wording can be interpreted to do 2 completely different things.
(Boost during 1st 30 sec only, or boost for remainder of fight after 30 sec have passed)
Roc is cool and all but I hope you plan on uploading more Xenosaga today.
10:51 Roc's gotta smash as much as he can
My current plan is alternate a guide with a saga vid
@@EnelXC
Alright, I'm looking forward to it!

Honestly, the only reason I ever use Roc is having a smash art on Rex.
I still used him to beat both Malos and Aion.
That was for Vandham!
Should I be concerned that one of 2 bird blades in the game focuses on killing other birds?
Wait, so Storm and Stress is damage increase in the FIRST 30 seconds of battle, and not AFTER the first 30 seconds? Despite its description?
yeah its weird
@@EnelXC Well that is what we call ass game design.
His smash is fast though at least
Roc could have been truly good with Vandham in chapter 3 at quick-killing ejected bosses. Unfortunately, the bosses in chapter 3 are all drivers, which make them very difficult to be ejected.
12:30 what is he referring to as highest level thing in the game
enemy in mk viii that has a level 200 enemy who cant attack but takes no damage and eventually explodes
Dwayne Johnson is also the "Roc(k)" lol
Roc is built to be pretty much the Aerial Monster Slayer.
I was hoping you would do Poppibuster next, since he/she/they is another form of Poppi. Will you do Poppibuster after you do Nia and Aegaeon? Speaking of which, how are you going to do Nia without spoiling?
probably just a censored thumbnail with the chapter you should have finished mentioned 🤷
Okay he might not be the best blade in combat but at least Wing Smash is a really fast Smash art, we take those
He's the Roc Hawk.
Wait, wrong bird character? Shit.
roc
Roc Smash? What is this? Pokemon?
Boreas guide when
Was expecting a one second video consisting only of "Don't"
