@@SlimekingYT He *DOES* realize the kinds of players that are attracted to games like this, yes?

@@Starcat5 Same, I still have yet to do the Ferronis but I'm close. I'm level 29 and just got Valdi about to head to Colony 9 for a hero class quest. God this game is so fun.
@@ontosinabyss5950 I wound up going back to the first region pretty much as soon as Ethel left the Party, and then I got up to level 30ish just by being stubborn with the higher leveled mobs lol.
Worth mentioning is that you can fuse Combo arts in the proper order to get that combo in one attack, like break+topple, also comboing skills that benefit from the same direction is pretty fun.
Enel, I just want to say, a big fat thank you for all your xenoblade guides. You work so freaking hard to make it spoiler free, and it is greatly appreciated. A lot of people can learn from you!
Thanks so much for the spoiler box. This is really great thinking because this game is massive and it will take awhile for people to really beat this one. I'm 30+ hours in, somewhere in Chapter 4 with my characters at level 35 or so, and I feel like I'm only 20-30% done the game. Been really exploring areas, doing side quests and taking my time.
This classes are so cool but I wish we could play as the heroes themselves. They have their own unique animations for there arts that sometimes look cooler. I get that they can't use master arts or interlink but it's still be cool to use them.
Thank you for these guides. The hard mode is actually hard for once. So knowing what to look for early helps with some of these crazy strong unique monsters. I’m very excited to look into the signifier class as it sounds crazy good. Even from the Chain attack video you did.
Hard mode is a life saver in Xeno3. With overkill and bonus XP making you over leveled, Hard mode helps balance things out. Something Xeno 2 was missing
One thing you might want to look into regarding unlocking classes for the other main characters only requiring CP seems to be a bit false. While killing elite enemies 7 levels below me and rewarding roughly 70 CP, no gains were made to unlocking the class at all. Killing normal enemies the same level at me rewarded me with about 30 CP, which made a very noticeable increase to the silhouette filling. Enemies may be required to be 5 levels below you at maximum to anywhere above you to unlock classes.
Something I didn't see mentioned regarding efficient level-ups - in the postgame, after gaining the ability to decrease levels, you could have half your team at level 1 and the rest at max level to massively increase the CP gained by the level 1 characters. I've found it super useful for maxing out class levels in the postgame.
I really don’t get why they locked Levelling down behind Post Game when the entire point of the combat system if used as intended will leave you overlevelled
Currently level 54, main story quest has a recommended level of 27. Locking leveling down to postgame was a really stupid decision, they didn't do it for their last two games, there's no reason for it to be that way for this one.
Hey coming back to mention something. So the Amiibo system made something known to me, in that Class Points and Class Succession points are completely different things. so killing enemies may give you CP(god I hate that acronym) but unless they're super close to your level or above, they will NOT give you CSP and your silhouettes will not fill.
Thank you for making these guides without spoilers. I fear the heroes might be people we know later on. Also I guess we're both psycho because my alarm bells go off if I change a class before it's mastered, but I've had to in order to balance out my party and continue everyone progressing in something
Hmm... No mention of the Scholar Necklace, farmable from Househunter Carly, a Unique Crabble early in the game. Not sure how effective it is on a D Rank class vs an S Rank, but it DOES improve CP gain effactively across the board. Farm six of these (you can only equip one each), and slap them on when learning a new class.
@@GamingFreakShow1991 And what chapter can that be accessed in? The one I mentioned can be accessed as early as Chapter 2, and makes a useful stopgap until then.
@@Starcat5 I think it's in chapter 3, and it's in the Aetia region next to Colony Gamma. It's around the same time you're able to go back to Colony 9, so it's fairly early.
definitely fell into the bonus xp trap at the beginning, ended up being WAY overleveled by chapter 3 because i had been doing so much side content. Thank god I realised how much CP i was wasting because I'm back to being pretty appropriately leveled around the middle of chapter 4. Thanks for keeping these guides spoiler free, keep it up!
i wasnt exactly sure on how powerful the combo of classes were going to be, but the 1 combo i found at just lvl 25 is guardian commanders falcon swoop as a super fast cast paired with glow ring to not deal with the long cast time for instant aggro grab, followed by imperial sword paired with wide slash which from what i can tell gives full evasion during the full length of imperial sword. I can only imagin what kind of combos and setups that are in this game, i even use a fast attacking art on a DPS class paired with buff to skip the loading animation of that.
Thanks for the vid, dude! It's awesome seeing steady in-depth guides from you again! I'm the type of player that loves to just absorb as much information and know-how about a game as I can (while avoiding spoilers, at least), so your videos help me out a lot. Can't wait to see some of the individual class and build guides in the long run! Know those were of so much use to me back with XC2. Keep it up, man!
I would say that the best attacker choices would be Eunie, Taion, lanz and Noah because ending with their chain order attacks on a big multiplier at the end of a chain attack would probably net the most damage overall. Eunie probably the best with dual guns. Personally i am probably going to have a team build with Taion Seraph, Eunnie Warmedic, Noah Support and Mio Attacker as well but not sure how i want to set up my team anymore. So many choices its become fairly hard now. Still unlocking the classes on everyone too mainly machine assassin, Seraph, and the fan class. Might consider giving everyone the option to learn martial artist but don't know if thats actually worth it since the only valuable skill to me would be speeding up arts cooldown which you can already do with an art from dual fans class.
Can we have a quick breakdown of the stats of every character ? Like a video about everyone's quick statistical strengths and weaknesses, so we can have a better idea of what class would be better for each character before the full character guides comes out. Apart from class growth rate, there is no apparent difference between them to a normal player who doesn't crunch the numbers, so I'm a bit stuck not having a clue on this.
Stats don't really matter, they have a tiny difference. The only difference between characters is their growth rates in class. All characters can be any class.
@@Chromelium I've seen some info on forums pointing to base stats potentially being pretty heavy though, and testing myself I've seen differences of up to 100 points for same gear same class and class level for 2 different characters, we really need centralized reliable data.
The fact that CP is tied to level difference is by far the worst design decision in this game. They really need to patch bonus xp to allow leveling down from the start and not tie it to post game. I bricked my characters majorly in endgame because of bonus xp it's so so so so stupid and it doesn't even make sense.
I accidentally stumbled upon one of the hero quests yesterday when doing Colony 9 stuff. Also my Chain attack damage has gone from around 7000 to over 200 thousand and that was thanks to watching only half of your chain attack video the other day. I'll watch the rest of it when I unlock more Hero Classes. Hopefully this video will help me unlock Full Metal Jaguar for all my Characters, because none of my characters have buudged in unlocking that class yet.
Man I love the class system. It's rewarding, intuitive and enables lots of creativity and expression. I wasn't immediately sold on the idea but it propelled the combat in XB3 beyond its previous limits.
Sorry Enel I love your content but I’m just dropping by to leave a like and a comment since I’m still playing the game and don’t want to risk any spoilers whatsoever! Rest assured once I finish the main story I shall be binging your videos mate!
Great job minimizing spoilers!! Hey, when you do start releasing class guides, why not start with the earliest classes first? I'd be really interested in seeing how Stalker or Full Metal Jaguar are used compared to the base class.
Yea I’ve been watching a lot of videos. I never played a xenoblade game before but after seeing people play it on twitch it looked awesome and I got the game to play and have been loving it. There is definitely a lot of stuff I don’t understand or don’t have down that well yet. Great videos. I did get lost a little watching ur chain attack video but it might be because I’m not that far in the game yet. I’m still really early in the game.
Im late because my life has been this game. But a key tip that id highly recommend is making sure you do your daily 3 amiibo scans. One of the random rewards is a massive chunk of CP. One scan got me 700 CP instantly which really helps unlock classes. Hope a lot of people see this comment so they can benefit from this too. (Any amiibo works. Just need 3 different ones)
@@KyRex1783 largest boost ive seem is 900 succession points, which doesn't rank up classes but just helps unlock classes for ALL that are silhouetted. Even if nobody in the party is actively using them
Thanks! I've been looking forward to a guide like this to give brief examples of overpowered skills/arts I can look forward to acquire. Gives me motivation to build something insane.
All the video he has put out for xb3 so far I've really wanted to watch but I've been enjoying seeing stuff as I go through to much. So I'll just watch them all in a few weeks and find out I was playing the game wrong the whole tims
This game is so indepth. It's hard to really concentrate on it unless I have a solid few hours to do so lol. Between work, wife, kids, summer hobbies, etc it makes this game so damn difficult! However, I love it. You have great helper vids Enel! Helps a noob as myself tremendously
THANK YOU LORD ENEL!! Your guides are incredibly useful, even if I have dumb moments where I forget your info and uh....well I die. (stupid need to at least UNLOCK every class on everyone) and thank you for the spoiler box, way better than most of the internet. now im gonna get back to chapter 4....oi vey this game is huge and i love it
What it taught me was that I am not trying hard enough to level up these classes and need to grind harder. I went on this huge side quest spree around colony 30 and am now level 45 while the story wants me to be 20 lol.
when the game forced me to swap classes i felt very limited and also demotivated to use it, since it was shoved into my face and did not give me any options. i changed the classes back asap. however this video convinced me otherwise, so thank you a lot!
I have been watching your videos from France for a few years.,. Although, you speak fast for my level of English, I find that these are the best, the most complete and the most technical
You say that unlocking classes is tied to CP, but I think it's worth mentioning that it does *not* count CP you get from enemies 5 levels below you or lower. Even though you still get CP from lower level enemies, and that CP *does* count towards leveling up your classes. It does *not* count towards unlocking the classes. And I know this after Overkilling a unique that was level 30 while I was 35 (so it had just turned grey), and even though I had the hero active and had Sena play that hero role too, the other characters gained nothing at all in terms of unlock progress. Some did however level up their other classes they were currently using.
This is interesting and I just figured the gain was really slow even for unlocking, didn't realize it didn't move at all. Hopefully that won't throw too many people off watching.
@@EnelXC I just tried this out again, taking pictures before and after to make sure. I must have been wrong about the level of the enemy I fought. Because now when I tried overkilling a level 31 unique as I'm level 36, I got a very tiny, but noticable, amount of unlock progression. So then I went back to the level 30 unique as I'm 36, took new comparion pictures and yeah, didn't get any progression at all. And on both tests I got 5 turns on my chain attacks, about +450% exp. So in conclusion. If you are 6 or more levels higher than the monster, you get nothing in terms of class unlock progression. If you are 5 levels higher you get a tiny amount of progression.
If thats the case then how are you ever supposed to unlock all the classes im trying to get the flash fencer but my progression for that has just slowed to a crawl since im overleveled and im forced in to using it on the main charracter only what should i do please respond
@@mpo48 I'm basically in the same boat. Enemies around the main quest route are about level 28 while I'm level 36, and I have like 7 more levels worth of bonus exp. My suggestion would be to either find a unique monster in your level range and overkill it, or progress the story enough to where you open up the map enough so you can go to higher level monsters. Because while my main quest takes me to enemies at level 27~29, I have plenty of side quests that take me to areas with level 30~39! Or simply just focus on the main quest for a while until you start facing enemies your level again~ (and without overkilling stuff, otherwise you'll keep being far ahead).
@@halosaft this is just a miserable experience all around for me atleast, my autism wont allow me to move forward untill i see every charracter using flash fencer, why would they have a stupid limit like this?
Househunter carly drops Scholar Necklace in cave near Forward Post Camp, "increases class aptitude" which sounds like it ibcreases class level gain and possibly class unlock speed
CP grinding giving me flashbacks to when I dumped Aion in XC2 a billion times to get enough weapon XP to level my arts haha. Also the loading times on this game is insane. Monolith are damn wizards.
1:57 Some clarification here, as I haven't beaten the game yet myself. Do you unlock leveling down immediately after beating the game, or is a it a New Game Plus exclusive feature?
Good question. I know the last two Heroes (I was spoiled) can only be accessed post-game, and as such their classes can only have their Level Cap raised BEFORE NG+. As for Level Down, it makes sense for it to be unlocked in Post Game rather than NG+, but there is only one way to test that, and I am not that far in yet.
Thank you for the tip about not using bonus exp. I am overleveled for the area I am currently in and I feel invincible, but now I see how that could make my playthrough more difficult later down the line
Can’t wait for the gem guide coming eventually. Coming up on the final fight and since I’m spiteful I like to overpower the final boss of each game just because I can but because no more equippable weapons I need gear, levels, and gems. Unfortunately the last one is something I’m struggling with because at most I have level 5 gems
I'm so glad that they didn't remove the old combat from the first two games. They reworked it into this nice blend and it feels awesome, except for when my AI healers randomly stop focusing on healing. I think I know whats causing that though so its probs just me lol. Also, when you mentioned that one specific skill that boosts both accuracy and evasion, I immediately went "Aha, so Mythra IS in this game!"
@@ethanhancock462 What spoiler? Nothing that I said spoils ANY part of the game, and if I had, I'm sure someone would have said something about it 3 weeks ago when I posted the comment. I was talking purely about the combat, even the last sentence.
This game is easily my GOTY. The combat feels so *Satisfying.* The classes are all unique and interesting, and more importantly they’re all FUN, the music is phenomenal and my god pulling off a satisfying chain attack feels incredible. Not to mention the very intriguing plot (which I shan’t say more about for obvious reasons). I think it’s safe to say this game is easily the greatest title Monolithsoft has ever released, one which absolutely lives up to the hype, and I am very much looking forward to whatever comes next from them.
The mechanics might sound complex, but it is interesting. I can understand the mechanics well, but not so expert on it yet. So, I will take time to experiment on what's the best that suit each of the characters. I would rather spending time on this kind of things than looking for NPC and quest area because of the confusing navigation system like in Xenoblade 2 hahaha
Great vid! Down the road, I'd like to see a breakdown of Fusion Arts, and what the best combos would be. The amount of options available is pretty insane, even for early game. On an unrelated note, anyone else playing/played in Hard Mode? I thought I was quite the XC veteran but some of the boss fights are absolutely brutal even being 1-2 levels over.
Fusion art combos sound like something that's going to take a lot of community collaboration to fully figure out, but some immediate ones that come to mind are Wide Slash paired with a long tank art (evades for the whole art, so no aggro loss) or Overfall with any low cooldown art for fusion art spam
Really appreciate all the effort you put into your guides, great stuff as usual. You're probably planning to do a guide for it but what are generally the best attackers in your opinion? I'm about to unlock Incursor and the synergy it should have with Noah's unique talent art seems pretty nasty on paper. Thanks in advance! EDIT: You don't have to worry about spoilers btw, I know all the classes.
A couple questions about the combat: When my arts recharge, how do you decide whether to use them immediately, wait for their conditions, or wait for fusion arts? And regarding fusion arts, can you tell me how much their effects interact? (Is it simply like using two arts at once, or do things like conditional damage and increased aggro carry over?) I'm spending 15-30 mins and multiple chain attacks on some bosses, and I don't know if I should be worried. (I've watched your earlier guides, and I like to play on hard difficulty.)
i am a huggegeggeee xenoblade fan, it is my favourite game franchise, and when xenoblade came out i got it on the same day. Then i go to enel to see if he made xc3 vid
"Don't feel like you need to max every class with every character." Me, a Monolith completionist since the Xenosaga days: I'm gonna be playing this game for 300+ hours, aren't I? I don't want to talk about Baten Kaitos.
Just a comment to say I appreciate those detailed video, useful for Xeno 2 challenge mode... I will avoid watching anything until the DLC and figure things out, I think the fun is finding your own thing first then looking what other people have found :)
Hope everyone likes my spoiler prevention box

Yea I’ve been watching a lot of videos. I never played a xenoblade game before but after seeing people play it on twitch it looked awesome and I got the game to play and have been loving it. There is definitely a lot of stuff I don’t understand or don’t have down that well yet. Great videos. I did get lost a little watching ur chain attack video but it might be because I’m not that far in the game yet. I’m still really early in the game.
Im late because my life has been this game.
But a key tip that id highly recommend is making sure you do your daily 3 amiibo scans.
One of the random rewards is a massive chunk of CP. One scan got me 700 CP instantly which really helps unlock classes.
Hope a lot of people see this comment so they can benefit from this too. (Any amiibo works. Just need 3 different ones)
I just read this comment having forgot to do mine... 400 Class Succession points and 100 Class Points later...
@@KyRex1783 largest boost ive seem is 900 succession points, which doesn't rank up classes but just helps unlock classes for ALL that are silhouetted. Even if nobody in the party is actively using them
Thanks! I've been looking forward to a guide like this to give brief examples of overpowered skills/arts I can look forward to acquire. Gives me motivation to build something insane.
"let's focus on how to get CP quickly" will never ceaze to be funny xD
All the video he has put out for xb3 so far I've really wanted to watch but I've been enjoying seeing stuff as I go through to much. So I'll just watch them all in a few weeks and find out I was playing the game wrong the whole tims
The best thing this game does is it changes your Gems automatically if you Switch Classes. You only have to make your Class Setup once
Only problem is those gems aren't often the best choices
I just unlocked class switching today, so I'm glad to see this video.
This game is so indepth. It's hard to really concentrate on it unless I have a solid few hours to do so lol. Between work, wife, kids, summer hobbies, etc it makes this game so damn difficult! However, I love it. You have great helper vids Enel! Helps a noob as myself tremendously
Thank you for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 guides. :)
another Amazing Guide for the Xenoblade Community & Newcomers alike good contribution man.
THANK YOU LORD ENEL!! Your guides are incredibly useful, even if I have dumb moments where I forget your info and uh....well I die. (stupid need to at least UNLOCK every class on everyone)
and thank you for the spoiler box, way better than most of the internet.
now im gonna get back to chapter 4....oi vey this game is huge and i love it
Can’t wait to watch your vids all the way through once I finish the story lmao
What it taught me was that I am not trying hard enough to level up these classes and need to grind harder. I went on this huge side quest spree around colony 30 and am now level 45 while the story wants me to be 20 lol.
when the game forced me to swap classes i felt very limited and also demotivated to use it, since it was shoved into my face and did not give me any options. i changed the classes back asap. however this video convinced me otherwise, so thank you a lot!
I have been watching your videos from France for a few years.,.
Although, you speak fast for my level of English, I find that these are the best, the most complete and the most technical
Thank you for the guide! And thanks for the spoiler prevention!
Thanks for another awesome and spoiler free guide.
You say that unlocking classes is tied to CP, but I think it's worth mentioning that it does *not* count CP you get from enemies 5 levels below you or lower.
Even though you still get CP from lower level enemies, and that CP *does* count towards leveling up your classes. It does *not* count towards unlocking the classes.
And I know this after Overkilling a unique that was level 30 while I was 35 (so it had just turned grey), and even though I had the hero active and had Sena play that hero role too, the other characters gained nothing at all in terms of unlock progress. Some did however level up their other classes they were currently using.
This is interesting and I just figured the gain was really slow even for unlocking, didn't realize it didn't move at all. Hopefully that won't throw too many people off watching.
@@EnelXC I just tried this out again, taking pictures before and after to make sure. I must have been wrong about the level of the enemy I fought. Because now when I tried overkilling a level 31 unique as I'm level 36, I got a very tiny, but noticable, amount of unlock progression.
So then I went back to the level 30 unique as I'm 36, took new comparion pictures and yeah, didn't get any progression at all.
And on both tests I got 5 turns on my chain attacks, about +450% exp.
So in conclusion. If you are 6 or more levels higher than the monster, you get nothing in terms of class unlock progression. If you are 5 levels higher you get a tiny amount of progression.
If thats the case then how are you ever supposed to unlock all the classes im trying to get the flash fencer but my progression for that has just slowed to a crawl since im overleveled and im forced in to using it on the main charracter only what should i do please respond
@@mpo48 I'm basically in the same boat. Enemies around the main quest route are about level 28 while I'm level 36, and I have like 7 more levels worth of bonus exp.
My suggestion would be to either find a unique monster in your level range and overkill it, or progress the story enough to where you open up the map enough so you can go to higher level monsters.
Because while my main quest takes me to enemies at level 27~29, I have plenty of side quests that take me to areas with level 30~39!
Or simply just focus on the main quest for a while until you start facing enemies your level again~ (and without overkilling stuff, otherwise you'll keep being far ahead).
@@halosaft this is just a miserable experience all around for me atleast, my autism wont allow me to move forward untill i see every charracter using flash fencer, why would they have a stupid limit like this?
Amazing stuff! Can't wait to see more
The spoiler prevention box is top tier.
Glad to see xbc3 content from you Enel!
Househunter carly drops Scholar Necklace in cave near Forward Post Camp, "increases class aptitude" which sounds like it ibcreases class level gain and possibly class unlock speed
Yeah that was one thing I forgot to mention in the video myself.
CP grinding giving me flashbacks to when I dumped Aion in XC2 a billion times to get enough weapon XP to level my arts haha.
Also the loading times on this game is insane. Monolith are damn wizards.
1:57 Some clarification here, as I haven't beaten the game yet myself. Do you unlock leveling down immediately after beating the game, or is a it a New Game Plus exclusive feature?
Good question. I know the last two Heroes (I was spoiled) can only be accessed post-game, and as such their classes can only have their Level Cap raised BEFORE NG+. As for Level Down, it makes sense for it to be unlocked in Post Game rather than NG+, but there is only one way to test that, and I am not that far in yet.
Luckily it's unlocked once you reload your completed save, no need for New Game Plus.
@@Mechaxk Good to know. Thanks!
You have it in postgame, no need to play NG+
Thank you for the tip about not using bonus exp. I am overleveled for the area I am currently in and I feel invincible, but now I see how that could make my playthrough more difficult later down the line
Can’t wait for the gem guide coming eventually. Coming up on the final fight and since I’m spiteful I like to overpower the final boss of each game just because I can but because no more equippable weapons I need gear, levels, and gems. Unfortunately the last one is something I’m struggling with because at most I have level 5 gems
I'm so glad that they didn't remove the old combat from the first two games. They reworked it into this nice blend and it feels awesome, except for when my AI healers randomly stop focusing on healing. I think I know whats causing that though so its probs just me lol. Also, when you mentioned that one specific skill that boosts both accuracy and evasion, I immediately went "Aha, so Mythra IS in this game!"
Dude thanks for the spoilers what the fuck
@@ethanhancock462 What spoiler? Nothing that I said spoils ANY part of the game, and if I had, I'm sure someone would have said something about it 3 weeks ago when I posted the comment. I was talking purely about the combat, even the last sentence.
Was grinding in postgame and saw this in my notifications, love your videos
This game is easily my GOTY. The combat feels so *Satisfying.* The classes are all unique and interesting, and more importantly they’re all FUN, the music is phenomenal and my god pulling off a satisfying chain attack feels incredible. Not to mention the very intriguing plot (which I shan’t say more about for obvious reasons).
I think it’s safe to say this game is easily the greatest title Monolithsoft has ever released, one which absolutely lives up to the hype, and I am very much looking forward to whatever comes next from them.
The mechanics might sound complex, but it is interesting. I can understand the mechanics well, but not so expert on it yet. So, I will take time to experiment on what's the best that suit each of the characters.
I would rather spending time on this kind of things than looking for NPC and quest area because of the confusing navigation system like in Xenoblade 2 hahaha
5:40 Just a small gripe here, Keves skills are the circles and Agnus skills are the diamonds.
I'd love to see a good party composition guide! I always run 2 of each role and I'm wondering if that's actually optimal
I could watch videos about this game for hours
Great video, thanks!
Though, as a true crime fan, my brain becomes alert every time I heard you say CP
Great vid! Down the road, I'd like to see a breakdown of Fusion Arts, and what the best combos would be. The amount of options available is pretty insane, even for early game.
On an unrelated note, anyone else playing/played in Hard Mode? I thought I was quite the XC veteran but some of the boss fights are absolutely brutal even being 1-2 levels over.
Fusion art combos sound like something that's going to take a lot of community collaboration to fully figure out, but some immediate ones that come to mind are Wide Slash paired with a long tank art (evades for the whole art, so no aggro loss) or Overfall with any low cooldown art for fusion art spam
Enel called me insane, I'll take that as a compliment
That make a lot sense on the rank.
I was confused how to unlock the class for each character.
Really like XC3 so far, great content
Really appreciate all the effort you put into your guides, great stuff as usual. You're probably planning to do a guide for it but what are generally the best attackers in your opinion? I'm about to unlock Incursor and the synergy it should have with Noah's unique talent art seems pretty nasty on paper. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: You don't have to worry about spoilers btw, I know all the classes.
A couple questions about the combat: When my arts recharge, how do you decide whether to use them immediately, wait for their conditions, or wait for fusion arts? And regarding fusion arts, can you tell me how much their effects interact? (Is it simply like using two arts at once, or do things like conditional damage and increased aggro carry over?) I'm spending 15-30 mins and multiple chain attacks on some bosses, and I don't know if I should be worried. (I've watched your earlier guides, and I like to play on hard difficulty.)
Thanks for the guide always. I can't wait to know what are the best classes and how to build them up
Great video enel finally picked up the game its so great enjoying the game so far keep up the guides
The most important information I received from this video:
You don't stop moving once you land from a jump.
Awesome stuff! So do we know how deep the end game is? I hope they added a crap ton of super bosses or other quests and stuff to do
a note on silver coins, they also seem to be farmable with amiibo. I've consistently gotten one a day from a random (non shulk) amiibo.
I am but a simple man, I see a new Enel guide I click
This is great stuff! Hey enel when are you going to discuss story plots cause I’m confused as hell rn
I might in the future but I think a lot of others will be all over that so i'd rather focus on gameplay guides first.
Nice guide. I can’t wait to hear which character is good for which type of class. So far I was just thinking that the difference is minuscule.
i am a huggegeggeee xenoblade fan, it is my favourite game franchise, and when xenoblade came out i got it on the same day. Then i go to enel to see if he made xc3 vid
"Don't feel like you need to max every class with every character."
Me, a Monolith completionist since the Xenosaga days:
I'm gonna be playing this game for 300+ hours, aren't I?
I don't want to talk about Baten Kaitos.
Just got Full Metal Jaguar unlocked.
Dual Gunner Eunie is go!
I love you, thank you for your services
Xeno is back and so is Enel
Just a comment to say I appreciate those detailed video, useful for Xeno 2 challenge mode... I will avoid watching anything until the DLC and figure things out, I think the fun is finding your own thing first then looking what other people have found :)
