Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Best Blades of Every Class (Opinion Ranking)

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a plethora of fantastic blades to choose from, each of whom are unique in their own way. Whether it's the character design or the core mechanics that define their playstyle, each blade has something for everyone.
    Today, we're going to be identifying the best of each of the rare blades that are obtained through ingame Core Crystals in terms of overall effectiveness during postgame content (such as the super bosses)! The best best blades of each weapon class tend to have a gimmick that brings something new and effective to the table, while still leaving enough room for experimentation. Do bear in mind that there are plans for DLC, meaning that the rankings I've given today may or may not be rendered obsolete when it comes out! Enjoy! ^^

    Adenine also has insane utility with her weakness damage increase since it's like an 80% damage increase, much better than Dahlia in Chain Attacks for that reason since it let's you kill the enemy faster. Agaeon's perfect Evasion when reaching Max affinity is broken. Electra also comes with her own Block Rate Up V and a counter, while Kasandra can't make much use of Fortune due to her low crit rate. Also KOS-MOS beats Herald due to better element and having an Ether Mod.

  • @leveldown8743
    @leveldown8743 Před 6 lety +59

    In my opinion, you should have split the Ether Cannon section. The two are both insanely powerful. Herald has more damage and is able to oneshot liteally anything without huge investment (+she levels up insanely quick), but KOS-MOS makes it literally impossible to lose due to her team healing and increased survivability.
    Ether Cannons might be the most overpowered wepon class in the entire game, not counting "unique" classes like the Aegis Sword or the Big Bang Edge.
    ...
    Could you please extend this list and explain, which one of these unique classes is the best?

    and depends what Challenge Mode might be maybe new higher leveled enemies

  • @deusvlad2.083
    @deusvlad2.083 Před 2 lety +1

    I think it depends on playstyle mostly and some Blades are better for certain situations but on average the top ones imo are Corvin, Kosmos, Zenobia, Elma, Herald, Telos, of course Mythra/pyra in their ashended form, being the top ones on my current list, and also depends on how you equip them all can help enhance them make them better. oh yeah I forgot maxing out Poppi and all her forms just cheeses the game, but that could take a while cause I don't intend to play Tiger Tiger Arcade ever again but luckily you can upgrade her in new game + with accumilated exp shop.

    My only problem with Xenobia is that I focus a lot on driver combos and Roc's smash is a must have on Rex, which leaves me with no air spot left on him. I could just add zeke to the party, but I use Nia for her good breaks (and launch with knuckles) and Tora for having the 4 driver combo elements by himself...

  • @snakotakagorro8392
    @snakotakagorro8392 Před 6 lety +1

    Another great video! I actually agree on most of your rankings, except one thing.
    Shield hammers: while I personally like Electra more, I agree that Kasandra is better overall.
    Chroma Katanas: Totally agree. Theory is the best, and one of my favourites in the whole game. While Aeageon is great, to achieve his dodge potential, you either have to be low on hp (and that is a bit dangerous for katanas, as they are more fragile than shield hammers), or move around a lot (bot then you can't attack).
    Bit Ball: No contest. Boreas is amazing. Not to mention his affinity chart is super easy to unlock (if you have enough money and money making is easy in this game).
    Knuckles: Again, no contest. Ursulla is the best healer in the game. But her affinity chart is soooooo bad. How many hours do you actually need to unlock that sh*t?! 20? 30?! Goddamnit... Still not done.
    Spears: Yeah, Vale is kinda ahead of everyone in regards to damage. Wulfric is good, but driver combos are usually very short, so the window of opportunity is very narrow, so it can be hard to unlock his full damage potential. Praxis is good, but falls behind a little. Perun is strong solo, but that is pretty boring.
    Axes: Yeah, Zenobia is amazing. So is Dagaz. Others are not so much.
    Ether Canons: I would place KOS-MOS on the first place, as she has amazing utility, and I think her lvl 1 special actually deals more damage than Herald's. At least it did in your video. Another thing why I placed Herald on second place - she really struggles with aggro, as she has no aggro reduction whatsoever. And with her damage even the best tanks will struggle to keep aggro to themselves.
    Sheba has amazing damage potential, but it takes too much time to get it. And Azami... She is in a sad place. Her normal damage is horrible when compared to other Ether Canons, and it is very hard to achieve her true damage potential with the way healing works in this game. I'm sure, that If you have 1 hp remainig, you will deal a lot of damage. But I have never seen her passive kick in on my story playthrought, let alone on superbosses. It's too bad, considering her great design as a character.

    Tora: Poppi/Poppi QT/Poppi QTπ (...duh)
    Morag: Brigid/Theory/Perceval
    Zeke: Herald/Vale/Wulfric
    I rarely use Nia anymore, but Rex and Tora are usually a lock. I'll juggle Poppi's Cores based on whether I use Morag or Zeke. I was hesitant to go double Wind on Rex, but once I figured out Roc's critical rate reaches 76% with Crit Up V and Moon Matter Chip, I didn't feel so bad about it anymore. Also, Topple/Launch/Smash on Rex is always worth it. Sometimes I'll run Herald/Sheba/Azami on Zeke if I want to ensure a Driver combo for farming.

    Hey Nn Li, got a couple of random questions about this game I was hoping you could answer.
    Is there a "best" kind of pouch item for each character? Right now I'm just using anything that speeds up driver abilities, but the majority of foods I have/use are low tier, to say the least.
    I've noticed in many of your videos that you tend to focus on getting the Elemental Orbs up, and Driver Combos seem to fall to the wayside. Is that just because of personal preference, or is that the most efficient way of fighting the big baddies if this game? Is it even possible to set up a team to do both the full Driver Combo chain and get elemental orbs?

    • @mnjkmnjk123
      @mnjkmnjk123 Před 6 lety +1

      TubaAssassin pouch items vary depending on what your doing. I prefer running two items that boost special damage as with the right setup you can kill most super bosses after charging a chain att with 1 or no orbs. If you wan't survivability or your farming items than driver art boosting items are preferred as you can heal and smash more often.
      For your second question driver combos take a paticular setup. Only certain blades break, topple, launch and smash meaning you're limited to running certain blades to preform driver combos. Generally you'll have a party member who can break and Rex at all times so you can topple enemies to hit them for increased damage during the topple and ideally Tora who can preform the whole combo himself although he rarely will finish it without the bangle equipped. While the combos are useful they dont make or break your dps with smash primarily used for trash mobs or farming and there are a lot of better setups for maximizing dps that use blades that can't preform combos. Even if they could you do the most damage with them when something is toppled so you probably wouldn't want to.
      Driver combos are great when your playing through the story and are useful in endgame to farm but aren't really practical for the endgame challenges which is sort of a bummer cause they're so fun.

      @Excalibur5k Před 6 lety

      I a rex/tora/zeke build so I just put recharge arts on rex since I use a heal blade with him and want quick heals (he's not gonna out damage tora and zeke with mythra anyway) and on the others I just increase special damage. Generally if I'm controlling the character I want arts recharge to increase the pacing and to build my own specials faster, but for the AI I don't really care that much.

    • @6rednek
      @6rednek Před 6 lety

      Right now, I'm running Rex/Nia/Tora. I have Rex equipped with Pyra/Mythra, Pandoria, and Roc, to go through the combo. Mia sets up Break with Dromach, Boreas, and Vess, although I plan to replace Vess with the Demonetization Bunny once I unlock her to cover the ice element. Tora is just doing his own thing, and I plan to change Poppi Qtpi's element to Dark for complete coverage once I unlock her, too.. If it's really not worth it to focus on the Drive combos, then I'll try to come up with something better

    • @magus13131
      @magus13131 Před 6 lety

      Hot Ruby Steamed Bun + Narcipear Jelly are a great combo for any activity. They increase your art recharge by 0.4s each as well as grant you some -% dmg taken from both types of dmg (main thing you want is the art recharge, as that makes you heal faster, deal dmg faster, hold hate better, etc etc). They're only not too good for Perdido, who shines with auto attacks while on Morag (she has a passive that boosts auto attack speed, otherwise I'd put an Ether Cannon on Zeke or Nia). Perdido's literally the only blade that prefers to auto attack over using arts, so he's a special case.

    huh, 2 years late but my team playing through the game was super similar to this list, Herald, Vale/Praxis, Mythra was my standard Rex set-up, always Boreas, Ursala, Dromarch for Nia, and either Tora and the Poppi's or Morag with Theory, Kassandra, Brighid. Sorry Zeke, I don't hate you, but you got literally zero playtime in my game.

      Most of the story based blades are among the most useful, in their own way. Poppi QTπ has great damage output, Mythra (at least to my knowledge) builds party gauge the fastest out of every blade, while Brighid and Poppi Alpha are immortal tanks.

      GoldenOunk best way to do it is to open rares and legendaries on who you want and use the booster for the corresponding element ( ex.justice for dark on Zeke etc )and if you get the wrong blade on the wrong driver use whatever overdrive protocol you have to transfer them to who you want

    Morag: Brighid, Kasandra, Theory
    With the exception of Praxis, all my rare blades are what you consider the best in their class (I consider Herald and KOS-MOS to be equal, they are interchangeable depending on if I'm going for 5 orbs or 4). Praxis is just for extra utility for her element.
    I'm hoping that NG+ allows us to transfer blades over so I can try different team builds without RNG.
