#Xenoblade #Dahlia #Guide - Hry
Dahlia is interesting... She has a lot going into her design (no duh), by that I mean the concept art for her went through many ideas and there's a lot of neat small details. But for a blade whose story is about beauty being on the inside, I think the irony of her being judged based on looks alone is perfectly sad...
To explain the dissonance between her appearance and dialogue stems, we need note only 2 things:
1) The lack of communication between the [outsourced] artist & and the in-house writers at Monolith Soft.
2) The keyword used to describe Dahlia (as seen on the official XenobladeJP twitter account, though possibly during early stages of development also) was the term 「オトナっぽい」- a Japanese phrase that shares the exact same double-meaning as the English word "mature"
Dahlia is Dolly Parton in Blade form and you can’t convince me otherwise...
"I came into the world lookin' this way, and when my Driver dies, I'll disappear lookin' just the same." - Dahlia Xenoblade
This man actually put kos-mos on morag the madlad
Honestly, her Spotlight skill isn't even technically exclusive to her as it can show up on common blades under the name "Slamdown".
If these guides show anything, it's the sheer amount of party variety. Can't find variety anywhere close to this level in Xenoblade 1.
Maybe because Xenoblade 1 has not 45 blades??? we literally only got 7 characters so ofcourse we have not that many variety. but in the end its true
@@starchild4627 it's not even just the sheer amount of blades, the party members in XC1 are very rigid in what they can do. Reyn and Dunban will never be ether attackers, Melia will always be the fragile mage, Riki will always be the jack of all trades master of none. Now, having characters with specific roles isn't a bad thing, Dragon Quest 11 is a good example. Every party member has a specific role they play, and their skillsets ebb and flow in usefulness throughout the game. For example, Serena is your dedicated healer, but there are points where Sylvando and Rab outclass her in usefulness. In XC1, as soon as Dunban permanently joins the group you've got basically the best party makeup in the game with Shulk/Dunban/Reyn and there's not a whole lot of reason to sub anyone out without lowering the overall effectiveness of the party. I'm not saying everyone has to play in the most optimal way possible, I'm just saying that the party of Dunban, Shulk, and Reyn is so good and you get them early enough that you can kinda just ignore the other party members and keep using those three throughout the game.
Just thought I’d mention that Dahlia was designed by the same person as Ursula, Risa Ebata. I guess she just has a thing for ice blades?
Maybe have relations with ursula,
@@Sleiyphnus no, dahlia is clearly married to the dead meme Big Chungus himself(Or big chungus is dahlia’s driver if big chungus was in xc2 and you couldnt awaken her)
I know they're not really optimal, but Full Bursts are just super hype, and I personally really enjoy putting lots of Orbs on HP-sponge bosses, so I absolutely loved that Dahlia strategy!
I have no idea how you would ever get a full burst unless you dont even have chips in. Your damage has to be absolutely pathetic
@@jalalal8056 Maybe, unless Orb Master go brrr
I don't mind Dahlia's design I dont really get the reason people dont like her design.
Though I do see one problem they have.
They over exaggerated some of her assets, I mean have you see her giant hands.
I like the fact people call her “Miss Chungus”
I think a lot of people think her size is unrealistic? I mean, real people do have boobs her size, but they usually won't also have that waist and nine times out of ten, they choose to have a breast reduction. Dahlia would have an insane amount of back and breast pain. Whenever I see her, I wince in pain a little.
But she's also a Blade, so who tf knows how different her body will function, you know?
@@faithjolley6034 she is immortal and while yes she feels pain she can regenerate just like any other blade
Dahlia is the Lopunny of Xenoblade Chronicles 2
I like Dahlia because her level 4 is just her posin' on the enemies while her bitball acts as a camera
Dahlia's blade quest was the first blade quest I've completed because I didn't realize every rare blade had a quest. And I found her blade quest to be really sweet and cute.
honestly i know that’s not the most optimal way to play but like it just looked fun to see you play the game another way then just kill as fast as you can
This comes out right as I start working on maxing out her affinity chart. How perfect.
i actually laughed at that full burst, fucking insane, i loved it, i wanna test it out just to make enemies melt like that
That last chain attack was sick, I loved how perfectly planed you had all the blade combo routes beforehand for every orb.
Dahlia has been the first rare blade I've received, in all three of my playthroughs, I feel obligated to use her, it feel like she chose me😂😂
Rabbit mommy
Dahlia was one of my least favorite blades before, but after using her for a bit and playing her blade quest. She's become one of my favorite blades. I try to get full bursts because they're fun to get, so she fits right into my playstyle.
Shame her niche of using Spotlight in chain attacks can also be done by common blades with Slamdown.
Alternate title:
haha ice booba
Due to my playstyle of focusing on Full Bursts and Driver comboing as much as i can while setting up said full burst, i find Dahlia pretty strong with her seeming to focus on chain attacks.
Dahlia's spotlight is pretty useful for setting up a Full Burst for Pneuma if you can break everything just right but I never found much else of use for her.
Other than...you know...that.
Oh yes, Demonetizedlia.
The only problem I have with Dahlia is that her voice sounds really similar to Reba McEntire.
My favorite 🥰.. well after Pneuma of course!
Even when Dahlia is not the strongest blade in the game, the fact that she can break 3 elemental orbs instantly makes her still usefull.
It would have been so much nicer if NG+ update allowed you to purchase aux core slots and maybe had a hidden chart to complete for all rare blades that gives them way better abilities. Or maybe they have 3 extra abilities and you can pick and choose which ones you need so that really good abilities on characters like kosmos and crosette can still be used.
Sadly, the only good part about Dahlia is her Blade Quest and that one Heart to Heart. I adore her, but she is proudly on the bench doing merc missions in safety.
Zeke is ballin
We call her Miss Chungus actually
No one does
This episode, it’s time to learn about everyone’s favorite (or least favorite if you’re part of the Twitter Mod) Dolly-Parton-Snow-Bunny.
In a game where most of the characters have distinctly UK accents, her contrasting deep south darlin' accent makes her voice unique.
It still fits somewhat considering that almost all blades were given American accents.
Deep South accent is also the closest American accent to an English accent as well.
Bunny booba girl go brrrrrr!
Thanks for another good blade guide Enel.
My only problem with Dahlia is that she doesn't use her spike heals in any of her specials.
I was watching the blade tier list videos and now I got a new blade guide
Niceee!
Dahlia only real use is to bust multiple orbs during a chain which is a skill only common blades can have other than her.
Other than that, she is very outclassed as a healer.
Ms. Chungus
Due to damage cap, it may not be a good thing to trigger full burst early. Kinda hype though. ^^
One blade you may never encounter I haven't in over 162 hours of gameplay
She was one of my first rares, but I never really used her. Looking forward to more blade guides!
I was really unlucky and had my XC2 save be in group 1 where Dahlia is almost as rare as Kosmos. I got Kosmos before Dahlia, but I did not care about Kosmos. So Dahlia was the one I spent several days or weeks grinding core crystals to get. Because of how rare she was, and the fact that she is the last blade in order in the blade menu (before updates), I was expecting her to be the most powerful one. I was so shocked to find out she was so low tier. I was also totally unaware of her controversy until I got her, which literally boils down to "she has big boobs, which makes her a bad design". Come on, Dahlia is cool; and her quest and heart to heart show she's more complex than everyone gives her credit for.
randomly she was the last blade i got in the pre-NG+ collection. i was starting to think she was a myth, lol
I don't hate her design but I really wish her artist fully committed to the whole rabbit thing (i.e. her face). She just looks kind of awkward as is.
I also feel like she could benefit from a skirt or sth to make the design less top-heavy. Her boob-size itself doesn't bother me, but her design has nothing else going on and "has big boobs" is not that unique in this game
PULVERIZING!!!!!
There's only 2 reasons to use Dahlia..... But they're very big reasons, mind you. **Hem.**
I adore Dahlia, but then again I love exotic monster girl designs so her proportions and odd features don't bother me to begin with. I do find it interesting that in terms of actual behavior and interactions with other characters her sexiness doesn't really get mentioned at all in the game (something that can't be said for a lot of other attractive Blade in the game like T-elos and Kora), beyond her Driver always having the option of in some way saying that she's gorgeous in her heart to heart. While her personality and Blade quest does focus on beauty, it's more in a psychological and aesthetic way rather than beauty focused on sexual desire.
Now if only she were more powerful in gameplay, but at least she's not the lowest tier of Blades.
Hey look! The only blade I’m missing!
Dahlia is S Tier blade for me because rabbit. No, I'm not biased. How dare you make such a ridiculous accusation with absolutely no basis in reality or evidence to support your claim.
Nice.
Day 1 of thanking enel for amazing videos
..... Wait a second. During a full burst, the other party members use their level 3 specials? Is that what they do? Really? There's always just too much stuff going on that I can never track it
I’m not completely sure about this, but I think if you full burst on the second stage of a chain attack, they use their level 2s instead, I’ve done this twice on Tyranotitan Kurodil, and heard QT pi say Noponic Axion (her level 2)
Edit: it may just be playing the wrong voice clip
So, whose brilliant idea was it to make Dahlia almost as stupidly rare as KOS-MOS 1/5 times?
I've pulled every blade in the game except her.
Same smh
Wait is she actually that rare? She was my first rare blade.
@@gracefulrage3022 So, the way it works, is that at the start of the game, you're given one of five "tables".
This table decides who your pity blades will be, and how rare each blade's appearance will be.
KOS-MOS will always be a 0.1 rarity, and incredibly hard to find.
But if you get group 1, then Dahlia will be a 0.13, and so it's going to be almost as hard to pull her.
Incidentally, the only other blade with a 0.13 rarity is Agate in group 5. So for some reason, only group 1 and group 5 have blades almost as rare as KOS-MOS, everyone else has their second lowest as 0.25.
@@ekimmak I didn't know what group/table you got determined the rarity of other blades... Huh.
I had group 4, so I'll have to check Dahlia's rarity on that.
@@gracefulrage3022 If you're interested, I get my values from the Blade Resonance page on Xenoblade Wiki.
Group 4 is the most common that Dahlia will be, but it's still pretty uncommon versus other blades at 0.88. The most common blade in group 4 is Adenine at 1.75, the most common blade ever is Perun at 2.44 in group 1.
Although T-elos is more common at 5, I think the game prevents you from pulling her until you beat it.
Dahlia 😳
I did it I'm loved forever by someone!
God you could make a song to the beat of Zeke's Pulverizing Dunk
The one blade I still haven’t gotten after 400 hours.
How do you farm legendary core crystals?
@@phantommk3747 the ardun in torigoth with driver combo farming
@@goldbananas608 Try farming the Vampire Bride Marion in Uraya. Not only does it drop legendary core crystals, but a core chip called the gold chip. One gold chip increases the enemy item drop rate by 50%. Put one on all your blades and you get up to 750% more loot. If you have her, use Adenine for an extra 70-100%
And also if you're in the endgame, try farming the Tyrannotitan Kurodil in Temperantia. His drops are so good
Meanwhile I just pulled her on my VERY FIRST Crystal.
I have a Question where can you Farm for Critical healing and Max Afinity Damage cores
Last blade Ive gotten in both playthroughs of the game.
So...I honestly forget about her a lot lol.
Dahlia makes me wanna Full Burst! Look at all those busted orbs!
Aww, he said he loves us.
Dahlia design is interesting
Yeah, it’s kind of a shame that her niche in combat can be done better with a common blade (something that kind makes the rare blades seem less unique). I do like her character, as seeking and having inner beauty is a noble ambition. But I feel there’s some dissonance between that and her design.
Finally got her today!
Booba > meta
Man even dahlias is niche is just unfortunately overshadowed by Pnuema...
This made me realise I still haven't unlocked her. Shes the only one I haven't got yet 😅
Tbh the only reason i hate Dahlia is cause the southern bell voice doesnt match her meanwhile Agate should be the Bell
I got her when I made a joke about hating odd numbers, from a common core crystal (Might of been rare core crystal).
the lvl 2 special looked like 6 attacks
Is the trap blade next?
Heh, this blade was one of the blades I've been wanted to get until I got her through Nia. And let's be honest, those who are making such a big deal about her design, I got something to say to those people... Just shut up... For God's sake, just shut up. The people who spend too much time complaining about Dahlia and certain female blade's design are the same people who complain about any other female character design that has any ounce of sexiness in them. It's like to these people, females are not allowed to be "sexy" because it would promote the dreaded "male gaze".
Hey Enel, on Poppi QT Pi, I've got a core chip that gives her a slightly stronger auto attack stat than the Tacheon chip and it calls it Meteor Saber, I was wondering if you could identify it and say if it's still useful at all. Also Florran's my favorite bitball blade and I forget Dahlia exists half the time.
Preon chip, its not really that great outside of a small amount of niche uses because usually either crit rate from moon matter or tachyon's bonus effect will be better
Thank you, I wasn't able to remember what I gave her
..I like spotlight..
What advice do you have for getting Vale because I have used all of the tips from using justice boosters to using higher level justice characters and I still can’t even get a hint of her and I’m even in new game plus
same as other blades, just keep grinding and get lucky
@@EnelXC perhaps it’s my retribution for getting KOS-MOS as my second rare blade so now I’ll just never finish the blade album because of Vale. Literally thousands of blades drawn at this point. Smh
well, same song and dance I think, Ill really try with this one to make it a bit more unique and it may seem OP in some aspects, but Ill try to explain why later
Fireworks - Active/Party Skill - Raises Crit but 10% (Max 40%) & Raises Damage by 50%~250% (Max 200%~1000%) peer Broken Orb in a Chain Attack
Opportunist - Passive - 100% Chance to set opposite Elemental Orb when Finishing Blade Combo
Spotlight - Party Skill - Same
soooo, right out the gate the 2 party skills... but, and the main BUT here is Fireworks would be made so its Party Effect is only active while in a Chain Attack, also, the ~ in Fireworks is to separate the effect a bit, that is to say when an Orb is broken she'll gain and aditional 50% damage to herself to a max of 200%, BUT aditionally she'll add 250% to the Bonus Damage of the Chain attack to a Max of 1000%, so when you start the 2nd and so on Chain attack after the first one, from the get go youll start with a free 1000% Damage Bonus as long as Dalia is in the activation of the Chain attack, thus making Dalia a support type Blade with a focus on Chain Attacks, but a really damn good one too, a specialist on the field
note, cause every comment seems to need them, I set the Lvs of the skills I say to Lv5 so thats why Opportunist is 100%
I have a question I think it might’ve been in your tiers list but I remember you saying that Elma and Fiora shouldn’t be used on Nia which is confusing because doesn’t Nia have the second best twin ring kit?
I'll explain why in their guides, hopefully not too much longer if I can be productive
Boing boing
I'll be honest, I have nothing good to say about Dahlia so I'll just leave a comment to help Enel in the algorithms.
Shes best blade
kosmos and dahlia remain the only two random blades i dont have yet, meaning RNG is saving both the best and worst for last.
Hey, you can't do Kos-mos like that.
I got kosmos with a rare crystal with bravery boost, just before beating the game. Back then I still missed zenobia, newt, and azami and dahlia. Now Dahlia is the only one missing. I also got telos...
She's got a great design, it's just a shame the english dub voice doesn't really suit her.
Am I the only one who thought that Dahlia looked like an adult Ursula?
They both where designed by Risa Ebata.
Why doesn’t Dhalia have orb master???
booba
When i put the tachyon chip on a blade it just goes to 700-800 but when you do it it goes to 1000 -1600 I need help.
You need to get your blade to S+ trust.
Why do you have KOS-MOS on Morag?
because i have plenty of overdrives
Dahlia is really the only blade I can’t stand ... from her voice to her design ... argh ... shivers ... not sure if I can last the whole blade guide. But want to come by and send you a like anyway for your always amazing work Enel !!!
Miss Chungus
hi
How is Zeke using Pulverizing Dunk over and over?
It has very low cooldown
@@EnelXC Seem to see a lot of players use it to clear the field fast.
in my personal opinion Dahlia would look so much better if it werent for her feet and hands. while i would personal still not like her disign i would at least be able to look at her
I can forgive most of Dahlia's design choices, since she's all about inner beauty as opposed to outer aesthetics. But the claws that are meant to look like she's in heels? *Those are a crime against nature*
Now, I personally do not like her design, voice, and combat prowess, however I do like her character and blade quest.
Also, why the f@ck does she have a skill called Fireworks when she is an ice blade?!
I assume it's because what she does to Launched enemies creates a spectacle in the sky, much like fireworks.
@@RawkHawk2010 I guess that makes sense.
Oh no...Dahlia I don't really have a problem with her, but I know that 99.9% of people definitely do o.o
What species is Dahlia anyway
blade
Kosmos on Morag? 🤔
was for a specific strat here lol. I have basically infinite overdrives
Great video, although I do find it funny how desperately certain Xenoblade fans crying , trying to "defend" this design like it was their life's work haha
Although I did genuinely enjoy her side quest, it was surprisingly fairly heart warming
I like Miss Chungus
More like Nah, lia(r).
I personally think that anyone screaming bloody murder about Dahlia's design are just giving Nintendo a reason to put out another Xenoblade X censorship situation. I'll admit that I think Dahlia's design is a little too ridiculous, but I'd rather have that then having censorship forced on us. That said, it's a miracle this game isn't rated Mature lol
But dude is Nintendo censorship really that bad, I remember fire emblem fans getting heated at Nintendo because they made Tharja's buttcrack smaller or whatever. It is honestly such a non issue imo
@@jamesa.646 It doesn’t matter. ANY kind of censorship, big or small, should be met with resistance. Way too many things, and even people are being censored in this day and age and it’s a damn shame how some idiots want even more to the point where everything is going to be robotic with no personality or creativity whatsoever. Even though Dahlia’s design is certainly not great, the artist still made her a unique character that stands out among the rest of the cast. That wouldn’t happen if the artist’s creativity was censored.
@@Firestorm500
That's actually a really good point I haven't really thought about it like that
Meh... meh. Dahlia’s... uh... another word for box that Tora find around Alrest is big. VERY biggy-big! Too big for Tora...
Is that like an after battle line?
