*Poppibuster does level 4*
“Ah, time for a bathroom break”
That's a special with some Super Nova vibes, and coincidentally can be used for Supernova blade combos.
so apparently poppibuster has this big op level 4 with the big hit doing nearly 400,000 damage after set up then directly after you can see rex doing 300,000 with an art.
Enel: "If you spend money on a *hammer,* it better be a *good blade"*
Me: hmmmm
Was literally about to comment this 🤣🤣🤣
Finally, Poppibuster gets some spotlight after always getting shadowed be Telos ever since the day they both released.
If only this blade was a customizable blade for all the characters :(
That'd be so sick. Does she not have poppiswap?
I remember spending what seemed like hours in my mind trying to get the Blades I needed and then checking and realizing I already had all the ones I needed
Poppibuster was such a letdown after expecting it to have access to Poppiswap and/or be usable by Tora.
Tanks really got dealt an awkward hand in this game, having only two general weapon types and one of them is just bad.
Might be worth mentioning that like the challenge mode "Blades" and Poppi, Poppibuster is immune to the restrictive effects inside Spirit Crucible Elpys.
If you have a Water Reflect/Absorb aux core, you can solo cheese Holy Lancer Efrain by putting Poppibuster on Zeke or Rex (can get Water Reflect before Ch.7 from a merc mission picked up from a Phonex near Treetop Path in Gormott; requires Nim). Even works when you're underleveled on BoC difficulty. Just slap a crit healing medal and double arts recharge pouch items on your driver and hunter's chemistry on some stat stick blades (Or your party members who'll probably die anyway), have your block art active anytime Efrain uses an art, and just use lv.4 special repeatedly.
For healing in that place since other than poppi everyone is restricted to level 1 specials, use Nim, Akhos and common twin rings. Ursula with switch healing is good too. For that annoying holy lancer I liked using the ether cannons.
Ah Poppibuster, such a cool looking blade and only good Shield Hammer :)
That dude is really dissin' my boi Godfrey. Unbelievable!
Shulk is a shieldhammer clone.
@@XSaebaYRyoZ I'll say this, at least Godfrey has a pretty cool design and good personality :)
I always enjoyed using Poppi buster until I realized how slow the level 4 was and it made you wait soooo long for using another special, but idk, all shield hammers in this game aren't really "viable" and more just "I wanna see these blades so I'm gonna try to make them work"
grampypon soosoo built poppibuster, retconned his own death then disappeared back out of the game so he may as well have died anyway
I remember how disappointed I was when I found out Poppibuster didn't have Poppiswap... I thought that would be the appeal of using this random shield hammer but no, it just ended up easily the worst DLC blade of them all.
I keep Poppi Buster on Mòrag usually for the agility buff and his entomology field skill. He’s also cute as hell, she too ... I suppose - the Poppi Alpha clone inside Buster ... Sometimes I use him when I’m controlling Mòrag - just because Mòrag looks so HOT wielding a hammer ... I mean she’s hot wielding anything ... but extra easy on the eyes when sharing the screen with Buster. That said I’m a totally casual XC2 player ... I set things to easy and do things as I please instead of trying to optimize everything ☺️☺️☺️ ... Thanks for all the vids Enel - been really enjoying your content with this my second XC2 playthrough .... really been enjoying this round because of the knowledge I’ve picked up here ... 250+ hours in ... think I’m gonna do some land of challenge grinding before I hit that final battle.
at least it’s not nerfed by spirit crucible, and that is a massive W, only non tora blade to be uncapped in there
Well, at least in a fresh run. NG+ you can bring in a few other blades who don't get affected by it.
This blade's chart takes so long to complete!! God I hate this thing. I do like the butler voice though, seems appropriate to match Poppi's maid gimmick
Honestly they should have made poppibuster be able to switch weapon kits instead of being jsut hammer. Would make sense since the quest involves using things from each weapon.
Poppibuster is probably the blade I've used the least. I didn't actually bother to get them until I was really far into NG+.
Doesn't help that the quest for them is so rng dependent if you haven't been keeping common blades of each type and weapon combinations
It took me so long to get that giant megalance of giant better cannon common blade
@@bluegem8582 yeah, it's pretty reliant on rng whether or not you have a brute ether cannon or the others, but I admittedly just opened a ton of common cores to get anything I didn't have, and by the time I was doing the quest, I was maxed out on common cores.
@@conorb.1901 it probably doesn't help that before I went for the quest, I had the dumb habit of getting rid of most not 4 crown commons, so by the time I got to it, I had to grind core crystals
Why in the fuck does she have so much work for the little payoff she has?
Literally didn't know this blade existed
If only he could dance better. Then poppibuster would’ve gotten a better weapon
Thank you again Enel - looking forward to all the content
My master plan: use blades and other characters differently than they're supposed to just to have fun.
"Let's it be used on anyone at anytime."
Except in a VERY specific situation I found myself in and I'm pretty sure wasn't intended. If you have Poppibuster on Morag during Chapter 6, shortly after the fight with Mr Snowy Samurai, when she leaves the party to defend Emperor Niall you cannot get him back until she re-joins the party later on. This will most likely mean nothing to anyone playing the game normally but considering I am showing this game to a friend of mine for the first time when she comes to visit, guess who learnt this the hard way when our session ended just after Morag left? Me, that's who. Because of this weirdly specific situation I have had to wait over a week to use Poppibuster again.
If I am wrong, please correct me because I would like to get Poppibuster back and I would happily take feeling like an idiot for missing something obvious over having to wait to work on his affinity chart while sitting here doing Ursula's quest for the 3rd day in a row as what little remaining sanity I have leaks out of my ear and drips onto the couch.
Meh...why Grampypon make other Poppi for Rex-Rex and friends to use...Poppi is supposed to be Tora’s waif-... um...Blade. Yes Tora definitely meant Blade. Meh heh heh.
Tora literally created a cute girl to be his blade in battle. He is the definition of a Chad.
@@DueNorthGaming So glad someone other than friend Enel actually respect Tora. Meh meh meh, you are truly brilliant friend.
there's something uncanny about this blade, idk why, i remember when i was doing the quest for it and saw how it looked like for the first time i just wanted to finish the quest so i didnt have to look at it anymore
I really dont understand why there's a self silence on the level 4. It's such a wonky idea that I think the developers put way too much thought into level 4's being these amazing attacks when 9 times out of 10 the level 3 is better.
Hell there's even that tutorial in the main game that tries to say Mythra is useless indoors and you should just use Pyra when it's literally only referring to her level 4 which isn't even that good outdoors lol
I think they forgot their own mechanics to a degree.
I see what your saying but I think it’s because the special is supposed to initiate his self destruct mode and I guess the cool down is because he has to put himself back together but yeah it really hurts him
Gurren NOPON! Sorry had to say it. I will say though a party with Kosmos, Poppibuster and Mythra is absolutely fun, even if my Kosmos isn’t at full potential. Thanks for the guide Enel.
Enel, I did learn something here... despite being the best Shield Hammer (RIP Kasandra) and Monolith actually building to the weapon's strengths, the weapon class as a whole is still horribly outclassed by a Hammer clone, which humorously isn't even a Hammer.
Poppibuster: Lots of work for not that big of a payoff.
I’m gonna definitely try to make some builds this character is interesting
can you plz cover elma next i relly want to know how to use her well and the video is relly good as all ways
elma will be coming eventually dw lol
In gana love using buster for my main play through! If i decide to go meta and do everything ill prolly use something els
It's a shame Shield Hammers are useless. I personally am a fan of transforming weapons (Side note: I am a Monster Hunter Switch Axe main), and the Shield Hammers are no exception. Heck, of the common weapon types, it's the only one that has a transforming property. However, it's problems come from a flaw that comes from the mechanics of the game: The endgame focuses on damage, damage, and more damage. Doing damage heals you, doing damage draws aggro, and, obviously, dealing damage deals damage. Shield Hammers... just don't do a lot of damage. They're made for tanking, and that's pretty much all they can do, excluding any gimmicks such as "Doesn't Ring a Bell." I do think it would be neat if they allowed Poppibuster to be customizable via Poppiswap, and it would also be nice if Tora could use him (As customizable as Poppi is, it's a little annoying to be forced into only using her three options). Even if he still gets outshined by Shulk, Poppibuster could at least provide better stats to a stronger blade.
thank you for your hardwork.
Poppi has to file complaint
I like how the characters are like:"A second poppi!? That's great!" and then the Nopon who should be dead but isn't says "Actually, it's even better!" and then it's infinitely worse in every way, even characterwise. I still somehow managed to get a surprising amount of value from this hammer, so I'm just bad at the game I guess, lol.
You said Pneuma and didn’t preface your video with spoilers. All other experiences within the game have now been ruined.
(this is sarcasm for the uninitiated)
It's just a name so i'm sure its fine lol
I wonder why Tora specifically isn't allowed to use a DLC Artificial blade?
You'd think that this would be one of the ones he could actually have. Do they just not want to give him a new weapon to deal with?
probably because they were too lazy to program new animations
He already has the best blade in the game. Maybe they realized that he's already OP with QTPi
if you love hammer so much, how about a challenge run (ng+ on a speedrunfile) hammer only. sound very fun 🤢
Poppibuster helped me on some BoC fights because of their incredible defences. They're not amazing because the hammer's problems of a poor crit rate and long cooldowns aren't remedied, but I still find them relatively solid.
Also, what if you combined Poppibuster, Gorg, and Newt?
Can we talk about how annoying his walk sound is?
Hey poppibuster, could you keep it down? People are trying to sleep here.
That and it keeps getting in the way of the camera unless I zoom all the way out.
I'm waiting Enel.
for?
@@EnelXC Music. Tierlist.
Poppibuster should be useable by Tora. Change my mind
they were too lazy to give him new animations lol
Who's the biggest blade? Wulfric, Boreas, Herald, Cressidus, or Poppibuster?
I think it's Cressidus but I could be wrong because I don't remember Poppibuster being in the Alrest Records art book
I think Buster has the largest model
Poppi Buster has a cool design and that’s it
I’m all for a mech finally back in a xeno game that I can actually play as
I actually never even got Poppi Buster because people told me it’s not that good. Sad because all the other DLC blades are so fun
yeah Gacha blade !
I wish poppibuster was another blade for Tora
I forgot Poppibuster was in the game. Seems cool enough but I never used Poppibuster too much
If you swap from poppibuster after using the level 4, do you lose the damage increase from the skill? or can you swap back and still get the damage increase?
This is actually a good question I didn't consider given just how situational poppibuster already is so i actually don't know. Based on my understanding though, the game would just keep track of how many times the moves was used throughout the fight and allow it to not reset.
Apparently a lot of other blades' cumulative passive buffs get reset upon blade switching, so that got me wondering about this as well.
love this blade's design but wish they had faster animations instead :(
Wait why does the robot like meat?
robot taste buds
Poppi can sense smells but not tastes, pretty sure Buster works the same
me before the video: Hammers arent good
me after the video: yup
I was honestly hoping that Poppibuster had a unique weapon type instead of a hammer
Yes! He did it
No one:
Enel: **casually slides through about all the English pronouns**
I mean, yah, but also neutral pronoun *T H E Y*
I was hoping someone would notice that I just cycled through all of them LMAO
Hey Enel a question so i made a long time. How you obtain the Aux cores and make useful? Sometimes I don't know obtain a certain Aux core, and when finally I get them, I need the materials to use that, how you do that?
You get aux cores from combat and quest rewards usually and can refine them with materials gathered in the field. Just gotta find what enemies drop what you want.
Are you gonna be doing Mikhail, Shulk, Fiora and Elma next since they're guaranteed blades? The description has me a bit confused.
Well mikhail is late in NG+ and that will be covered after the other gacha blades. The other 3 I might move up but they were planned to be last initially since they're the hardest to get even if they're guaranteed.
@@EnelXC Makes sense to me!
Odd question... do you have a format where I can ask you game questions?
usually if its just on a video I'll see it
Stop! Hammer time!
Poppibuster is the best 4 blade in the game.
i didn't even knew that poppibuster has a gimmick on the level 4. i think i never used it because i never used poppibuster after the first 3 times. thats so dum. poppi qt pii has a probably better level 4 and that has no drawback. poppi should really just focus on her own fight instead of controlling a second body when thats the downsize.
I have yet to play XC2, so I have to ask
Why is there such a significantly larger number of playable characters in this game compared to one?
blades are the main customization feature and xc2 has much more combat depth as well.
Does anyone know how many Heart-to-Hearts are viewable on a non-New Game Plus playthrough? I've found 65 on my run, but Xenoblade Wiki and some other lists I've checked online list 66. I've wasted hours scouring the map and sleeping at inns with basically every character, but I still can't find this supposed 66th Heart-to-Heart. Are there only 65? Also I know I can just start New Game Plus to finish Poppibuster's chart, but I've been doing this run for 18 months and I have no intention of starting another 300+ hour run of this game anytime soon.
One of the heart to hearts is glitched and won't count, yes there are 66 on a typical NG playthrough but poppibuster's skill will say 65. Regardless, that node cannot be completed until NG+
@@EnelXC FINALLY I CAN SAVE MYSELF FROM THIS INSANITY
Thanks Enel, I've wasted hours going through 4 or 5 different Heart-to-Heart lists trying to find one that I thought I'd missed. I've known for a while that there aren't 70 Heart-to-Hearts on a non-New Game Plus playthrough but I was determined to know that I'd at least viewed all of the ones I could view.
Gonna finally be done with this 19-month long run in a few hours. FREEDOM AT LAST
Poppibuster, Newt and gorg =????
Well, Enel. Let's be serious now. Is Godfrey coming next?
I haven't decided the next blade yet lol
Poppi is a massive disappointment, especially with how tedious his skill tree is to complete. Having to view 70 heart-to-hearts is the most tedious thing I've done in XC2 , not even Ursula's merc missions can hold a candle, at least Ursula's merc missions are super useful.
XC2 has a massive issue of heavily wasting your time on meh tier blades like Ursula and Buster, but only providing truly absurd blades like Fiora, Elma, and Shulk mere tickles of chart fillings. They can have an entire mechanic of changing your driver into a blade, only to make the blade itself stupidly meh too. It's ridiculous how under designed these stupid blades are.
Monolithsoft makes the best DLC compared to other Nintendo games (excluding smash).
honestly the moment i found out it couldnt be used by tora i lost all interest in this blade. since tora can only use 3 i was so looking forward to what ever he could get only for not only for it not be its own thing seprate from poppi but Way way worse specifically cant be used by Tora
Poppi who?
hi
Funny how poppibuster is on anyone but tora, huh?
how
I hope you don't get burned out discussing these shit blades haha. I'll still like and comment though hey
This Poppi isn't busted
i’m sorry but other then fusion combos why does speed matter at all it doesn’t make sense to me like who cares
for getting lower times for completing challenges and superboss timers, since the game tracks your best time.
Normally I'd agree with you, but this particular game can be really long even without all the fluff it contains (Got 600+ hours logged from my first playthrough and 100% NG+ combined), and many enemies can be absolute damage sponges if you don't know all the ins and outs of the combat system, which the game does a really poor job of explaining, if at all. So with that said, I think Enel's "gotta go fast" approach has merit for XB2, though I might disagree for a lot of other games.
If a special is slow in a chain attack you can lose your fusion combo damage bonus even if you aren't necessarily going for fast times since it'll tick down faster. This gives you less damage which can mean a longer fight or death or something. Slower specials outside of chains can also leave you open for a longer period of time to take damage without being able to do anything about it. Speed in general is just really nice for fluidity in my opinion but outside of that it doesn't make a massive difference I suppose. For time attacks naturally speed is important also. In the case of level 4 specials, its really just the fluidity thing though.
Poppi is a female...
Yes, but the mecha part of Poppibuster is male, so Poppibuster's pronouns can be whatever you want (he for the mecha, she for the drone, it bc robot, plural they bc there are two characters, singular they bc it's a neutral way to refer to people...) I think the game puts Poppibuster into the same gender category as Roc, if I remember correctly
@@blablablubb7623 wait do robots even have genders
@@Keychan64 I guess if they are close enough to human they could have one? Like, I don't think that Lego robot I built when I was 12 had a gender, but super-advanced-basically-real-person robots like Poppi who have likes and dislikes and relationships probably could develop a gender identity. Also, if your robot is programmed to interact with people, you could probably give them a gender identity to use in those interactions without having to achieve sentience, but whether that counts as a real gender is the sort of philosophical dilemma people write papers on. But given the human urge to treat antropomorphize the hell out of objects, it probably wouldn't make a difference to most people. Alexa has a female name, a feminine voice and most people refer to her as female, but I doubt she has the capability to identify as a gender
Seriously hate this thing. Why bring Soosoo back when it is literally the core of the Engineer Family story
Shield hammers shouldn’t be as good as they are other weapons aren’t even useable!
One of the worst blades, not a cute girl. (Blonde poppi is a doll so I don't count it.)
