All of the high tier blades: What? How are you here? You’re not even a DLC blade, a super rare blade, or something that’s earned like poppi qtpi! Dagas: *I exist*
I remember completing Dagas' blade quest and thinking "that was unnecessary long, glad that's over" then going back to his affinity chart and thing "what the hell did I do" and now after watching this video I now know what I did, I let god lose in a world of men
some people be saying xenoblade 2 character designs are bad because tig biddies and then sleep on shit like dagas I mean just look at this dude, literally an absolute king when he feels like being one
Not that I disagree, but would it be odd to suggest that people dislike the big tiddies and wish more characters are like Dagas or Ursula i.e. not to represent characters like sex fetish objects in a game where the main message is to not treat anyone like objects? I love the game, though I wish there's more of Dagas and less like Dahlia. They can all exist, just, more cohesion and more character types like aren't blatantly fan service. The story is there to prove people and their accusations wrong, but the design is not.
At least Agate does more damage than Dagas when you initially pull him. His starting ratios are kind of pathetic, combined with his singular aux core slot.
@@conorb.1901 It's an absolute tragedy that that isn't as good as it sounds, on the fact that Agate's third, and thus fourth and fifth key affinities, are locked behind her Blade Quest. Which can't be finished until the Land of Moritha. Seriously, why does she have to wait so long to get anywhere!?
Dagas has always been one of my personal favorite blades, both because of how good he is in combat but also because I really like his characterization. I know a lot of people get annoyed that he essentially hides his true power from the party to first see if they're worthy of his strength, but I think it shows that he recognizes that his power is indeed very strong and he doesn't want to misuse it by fighting for the wrong people, unlike other blades that simply fight for the people that pulled them because that's what blades do.
Fun fact about Dagas, he's called Dagos in the Spanish translation of the game, for whatever reason. He and Herald are the only blades that changed their names in the translation.
Might have been to prevent any copyright issue from Square Enix, since there 's a character in FFIX called "Daga" which, you may have guessed, is a direct translation of the english name, "Dagger" And since Herald's name is just an english word, they also directly translated it to "Heraldo", which is the spanish word for it
Dagas isn't very good. He has one aux core slot, his specials do unimpressive damage, and he has Godfrey tier field skills. His only noteworthy skill is Kaiser Zone, but it's not really good enough to warrant using a blade as bad as Dagas. Now Dagas on the other hand, Dagas is amazing! Kaiser Zone is a huge damage increase (it even increases the range of aoes!), he does good damage by himself, and he's got three aux core slots to boot. He's really good!
I know this is a joke, but I would argue that weak Dagas’s Field Skills are WORSE the Godfrey’s. Godfrey as 3 useless skills, but unlocking all those node ups your idea levels so it’s easier to get a Blade that isn’t Godfrey
Dagas is one of those characters in video games where you never know his name and only know him from that one broken skill they have. Kind of like Yoshitsune in Persona 5.
@@mimik3668 at least people know him because he's pyro, he's in all the videos of 1-hit kill, and most important, he have a very easy to pronounce name, Bennett, people don't say the name of Xingqiu because is hard to pronounce, so they name him wrong or just don't name him.
When I showed my friend Dagas' design, she said it looked like he spilled coffee on his clothes and had to raid a theatre's costume chest to get more. I have never been able to take him seriously since that moment.
I had a friend who called Dagas "overdressed blue Shadow" when I showed a picture of him. Also, Dagas thinks Kasandra has cooties (he says this in a post-battle dialogue between him and Kasandra; yes, really)
Ah yes. The blade I remember thinking was dogshit until I finally did his quest when maxing affinity charts. Now one of my most used. Can't wait to see the NG+ blades. Really looking forward to the "trio"
I’m just gonna take a minute to say, thanks for making these guides. I’m not one who really catches on to the combat side of things in video games so these are a massive help! These guides and many other videos have helped me decide on the setup I’ll be going for, as I’m just getting into the post game. If anyone wants to critique my setup, I’m open to advice: Rex- Mythra, Elma, and Fiora Nia- Zenobia, Crossette, and Adenine Tora- all the Poppis except Buster, but that’s a given Morág- Shulk, Patroka, and Mikhail Zeke- Dagas, KOS MOS, and Corvin
When I played XC2 again this year, I had gotten a couple core crystals from random enemies on the way to Torigoth the first time. After the crystal tutorial, I decided to pop some cores to fill out my blades. Dagas was my first pull. He became my mascot for the entire playthrough.
Personal opinion; if you only wanted to do one sidequest on your playthrough, do the quest to get QTpi. If you were going to do another, Dagas' Blade quest is a lock, provided you pulled him.
i literally did his quest like 4 days ago, i dont know why people dislike his character, yea its annoying his chart resets but...IT MAKES SENSE what doesn't make sense is the fact he has nopon wisdom...that is random
I think the main reason why opinions on Dagas' character are so divided is because he behaves so haughtily during both his heart-to-heart & personal quest (not everyone likes the narcissistic archetype, especially those who've grown up having to deal with similar such people IRL)
Some people believe that a blade having Nopon Wisdom is a hint at their first ever driver being one of those fabled Nopon drivers and I wholeheartedly support this notion. Mainly because the image of Dagas and Cressidus living alongside a Nopon is hilarious to me.
I like Dagas character beacose, yeah, he is disgustingly narcissistic, but you can also see how he cares about the rest of the team because he thinks that as a king he must take care of them.
He was actually one of my first rares, but I got him on Nia... I didn't understand how he was good at first, but that was before I did his quest. Now he's on Zeke, and I use him a lot. Thanks for the guides Enel!
Dagas was the first rare blade I ever pulled. Which is weird since he is never a pity blade and his pull rate is already low. Hated him at first because he was so stuck up; but since he's the only side blade that gets any real character development, so much so he's pretty much a new blade programming wise, he became one of my favorites. Contrast that with Sheba who's quest only showed her as an obnoxious spoiled little twat that never grows beyond that, and it just goes to show how much a quest can make or break a blade. Dagas is pretty much Sheba done right. Long Live The King.
@@gachalibra9243 i can agree to that, she is the only one i need, i have pulled like 30+ core crystals (on Zeke with luck + blades and equipment) only thing i haven't been doing is using the "best" boosters since i dont always have them also i've only been using commons/rares since i dont have an amazing grinding spot after so many quests and months of ignoring it though...im finally ready to tackle the world-tree
@@alakazamlover4908 Would recommend completing the optional Ardun feeding “quest” in Torigoth to unlock the lvl 99 unique monster Relentless arduran. Great way to grind cores w/ driver combos using Tora and Rex/Zeke because it has a decent amount of HP but isn’t as difficult as some of the superbosses. Turn on custom difficulty and toy with enemy max HP and attack power to let you fight it as long as you want and keep doing driver combos w/ treasure sensor ability common blades in the party and you should get enough cores to hopefully get her in no time
I used him recently on player control Zeke and honestly I was really surprised how much damage he was pumping out for player control since I usually stick him on AI for the support ability
I’ve just started NG+, have 99 of legendary and rare core crystals currently in chapter 3 but I’m not pulling any of the NG+ blade yet because I want to wait for your blade guides to see which driver I should assign them to - want to avoid wasting overdrive protocols. Thanks for the videos!
Dagas was my second rare blade ever and I rarely used him since he only had 1 aux core slot so I thought he was bad, I didn't know how good he actually was.
I just randomly got him on Zeke from a common crystal. The fact that now i have to do a quest and max him out means that my weekend is pretty much ruined
I feel like "selfish support is the best kind of support" is the vibe they wanted to go for. He's literally the definition of "I'm a pompous *duck,* but I stay winning and so do you." I also feel that a few more blades should have an awakened affinity chat and stats: Herald, Kassandra, and Electra. Herald's is pretty self-explanatory if you've done her blade quest and the DLC quest Merclibay's Mightiest. Kassandra should have gotten a second blade quest after completing her first one + viewing her h2h. That blade quest should have focused more on the spirit within the mask she wears. Electra's would come after completing her unique field skill and viewing the h2h in the power room. No Godfrey cause he's already cool enough as it is and too concerned about why his element isn't fire and justice to really be useful in any other way 🙄
Dagas is somehow my favourite blade and half of that probably has to do with the fact that I replaced Gorg with him because I liked his design more so I used him. One heck of a suprise when I finished his quest though one I liked for some reason idk. I just know I like him to much and I have a very big love hate relationship with him. I have no idea with him I sometimes wish he wasn't good but I'm also glad he is but even still I love him enough but not enough that I don't call him a bitch most of the time I talk about him.
Maybe for his next April fools video, he'll pretend to do a guide on how to properly build Tatsu, but then atually do a cooking tutorial. (Please read this, Enel. I now wanna see that more than ever.)
Remember when I said Vale was my first blade? Dagas was my second. He definitely took a while to grow on me, but once I finished his quest I really grew to appreciate him. He's by far the best gacha blade and honestly has a pretty fun personality, even if he is a bit of a shit. I personally find Zenobia more fun, but Dagas is objectively better.
The important thing for that area of effect increase is that it's likely the radius being boosted, that 120% is misleading... Pretending something had a range of say, 3 meters, it's normal area would be ~28.26 square meters. But with Kaiser Zone that becomes a 6.6 meter range for an area coverage of ~136.78 square meters. Meaning it actually increases your the are of effect coverage by around 5 times!
My team setup (i have no dlc) Tora:All poppi forms Rex: Mythra zebobia and nim because she boosts blade combo effect Zeke: KOS MOS Dagas and a common with orb master and ultimate combo Mórag: Mikhail Boreas and a common eith orb master Nia:Wulfric Dahlia and Perdido
I use Dagas merely as support. I use Tora with QTpi, Dagas with Dagas as principal Blade and T-Elos and KOS-MOS, and Mòrag with Elma, Corvin, and Patroka. I have the aux cores that increase affinity by 250 when the enemy attacks first and also the aux core that increases affinity by 250 when you attack first. When I start the fight, I have instantly the 120% extra damage for Dagas, y use QTpi to break and Dagas with Zeke to topple, chain attack, and BOOM, thanks to Dagas damage increase, QTpi awesome damage and level 1 special, Elma and her also amazing damage and level 1 special, and T-elos fast and powerful level 1 special, I can damage cap all hits in a chain attack defeat Kurodil in 25 seconds.
Expected a meme video just telling you to put Dagas on an ally and then use literally anybody else Got an actual guide and was pleasantly surprised to learn that he's also just a solid Blade LMAO thanks Enel
Enel could you please also do a guide on how to outfit the characters you don't play as? Both drivers and their blades, cuz sometimes just like you said on this video you run hunters chemistry on dagas and sometimes you have crystal earrings on someone or w/e and id like you to go a little more in depth on that department
Hey this is the blade I've seen in every video but it's the one I don't have, even though I have KOS-MOS. (I'm sure I'm sure I'm missing some other ones too but Dagas is like in every Enel video)
So I never used Dagas due to being completely unaware that he's only good after you do his Blade Quest. Keep in mind, I didnt just hate bad Dagas due to sucky combat capabilities, but also because I hate how arrogant he acted. Im gonna go do his Blade Quest now.
I've never used him because on my first run he was my last rare blade and by that point had Zenobia (This was before all the stupidly broken DLC came out though)
Hi Enel, came back to this video after a while. I've 100% XC2 completely with literally everything done, and was teaching someone about XC2 and optimal builds. I was wondering if the Sunlight Chip was worth considering for Dagas. The changes are auto attack from 1697 to 1680 (minor decrease), block from 15% to 5% (which doesn't really matter) and crit from 27% to 30% (minor increase). The main reason I ask about this is the Sunlight chip effect of granting 500 additional HP. If Dagas is pure support and is only being used for Kaiser zone, is this possibility even worth considering to increase survivability slightly? Or is the 25% crit damage boost on Tachyon chip just more beneficial even if he very rarely/never sees battle.
@@EnelXC I see, that makes sense. The crit damage likely helps for slightly better time consistency in challenge modes on the rare occasion he's pulled out for a chain attack or something. Thanks for the response, Enel, was very helpful :)
for as much as I love to use my favorite blades and how much I hate Dagas I agree that Kaiser Zone is hands down the best support skill in the game and quite frankly the only reason I can tolerate his high and mighty attitude now imagine if Mythra had that along with foresight
My doubt is against Elma. With Patroka and Adenine in theory you have a 300% elemental damage advantage but if you remove one of them for Dagas you lose a 150% elemental damage but you win a 120% damage and AOE damage in general. In theory if Elma doesn't summon her clones the first option is slightly better if you know how to glitch the ghost factory skill but if you don't then Dagas is extremely reliable, because not only your party members hit harder but also the clones can be dealt with effectively and once the clones are eliminated, you can focus on Elma with the three party members that still have the damage boost Dagas can provide. Galactic Strike will hit all the clones with Dagas, something unthinkable with Patroka or Adenine though.
@@tesladrew2608 Apparently, you can glitch Ghost Factory if you use a level 4 special when Elma is about to summon the clones. She summons the clones every two minutes, until a max of 10 clones iirc. If 1 minute and 55 seconds have passed since her last summoning ritual and you use the level 4 special, both animations overlap and Elma is unable to summon ghosts anymore, making the battle a lot easier without having to use an orb to seal the ghosts. I did it with Corvin but I suspect it works with every level 4 special, so as long as you time it right, you can get it.
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 See that's weird, because it bled into the level 65 version. She tried to summon the ghosts when the fight began but she couldn't. I definitely didn't have a level 4 then lol. I thought it might have been because I dragged her over to the corner when I did the 60 version, I don't remember if I did a level 4 or not there.
@@tesladrew2608 I guess the game try to cope with the animation but because the level 4 is in motion at that specific moment, there's a risk of crashing the game, so it decides it's better not to summon the clones.
Kaiser zone seems super useful. I've been playing on BoC mode and so I'm always trying to figure out how to stay alive but do damage. What would be the best way to keep up kaiser zone with a.i partners?
Player: stands still for ten seconds
Dagas: Chair
All of the high tier blades: What? How are you here? You’re not even a DLC blade, a super rare blade, or something that’s earned like poppi qtpi!
Dagas: *I exist*
To be fair, his second Affinity Chart is definitely earned.
Literally the best skill in the game. And the only one with multiple affinity charts. And the only one with a freaking chair in his pocket
A good king thinks of his subjects first, which is why Dagas has the best support skill in the game
True, but he doesn't think highly of them until after you beat his quest.
@@justinbowman1342 That’s why he sucks until then.
I love arrogant Jerkass Characters. Especially if they can back it up.
How to use other Blades: Shows off complex builds for both Blade and Driver tailor made to their specific strengths.
How to use Dagas: E X I S T

truly why he's high tier
The Kaiser Zone on the initial pull Dagas is already 10% more attack than Agate's, in addition to a modest AoE boost. Poor girl.

Did he just walk up slowly and Blade Special?!
Dagas has always been one of my personal favorite blades, both because of how good he is in combat but also because I really like his characterization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Kaiser Zone"
That line has no right to give me goosebumps but here we are.
He finally did a video on my favorite blade, Kaiser Zone.
You saved the best for last, I'm sure Dagas would approve.
Edit: Wait, I just realized we still have the torna blades to cover.
His chair is at the level of Iounis IX one.
Fun fact about Dagas, he's called Dagos in the Spanish translation of the game, for whatever reason. He and Herald are the only blades that changed their names in the translation.
Could it be because the “a” ending is a feminine pronoun in Spanish, while the O ending is masculine?

Tora- all the Poppis except Buster, but that’s a given
Morág- Shulk, Patroka, and Mikhail
Zeke- Dagas, KOS MOS, and Corvin
I'd recommend Zenobia on Zeke, Nia's axe animations are really slow and Zeke's axe arts are really good and a lot faster.
I recommend the same, since Nia is also good with Ether Cannons.
Nia is better used in her blade form anyway imo.
How to use dagas: just give him to a party member
Current xenoblade 2: use kaiser zone on ai to support the party.
Xenblade 2 in 20xx: everyone uses dagas on player control for optimal support.

I jokingly called Dagas a manchild after hearing that dialogue between him and Kasandra.
I didn't know he had a 2nd affinity chart at first and I almost finished his original affinity chart.
That isn't as bad as it could be, since it's more idea points.
Dagas was the first rare blade I ever pulled. Which is weird since he is never a pity blade and his pull rate is already low.

(Please read this, Enel. I now wanna see that more than ever.)
I’m a day late but shout-out the Enel for going through all the gacha blades. These have been absolutely fantastic.
I Like dagas alot so this is definitely gonna be a helpful guide that will help me use him more usefully!
Simple, unlock max Kaiser Zone and have him support another blade 👏
Remember when I said Vale was my first blade? Dagas was my second. He definitely took a while to grow on me, but once I finished his quest I really grew to appreciate him. He's by far the best gacha blade and honestly has a pretty fun personality, even if he is a bit of a shit. I personally find Zenobia more fun, but Dagas is objectively better.
No one:
Enel from 11:00 to 11:23 : "smash" also **maths expert**
The important thing for that area of effect increase is that it's likely the radius being boosted, that 120% is misleading...
Pretending something had a range of say, 3 meters, it's normal area would be ~28.26 square meters.
But with Kaiser Zone that becomes a 6.6 meter range for an area coverage of ~136.78 square meters.
Meaning it actually increases your the are of effect coverage by around 5 times!
Wow, increased Topple damage and a lv4 special go together like coffee and milk.
My team setup (i have no dlc)
Tora:All poppi forms
Rex: Mythra zebobia and nim because she boosts blade combo effect
Zeke: KOS MOS Dagas and a common with orb master and ultimate combo
Mórag: Mikhail Boreas and a common eith orb master
Nia:Wulfric Dahlia and Perdido
my favourite blade in the game.
sick design and what can I say... I like winning.
How to use Dagas:
Step 1: Give Dagas to AI controlled Driver with no other blades.
Step 2: Profit
I think there is a typo in the title, it’s supposed to say “How to use Kaiser Zone”
He already made a video on that 😂
I use Dagas merely as support.
I use Tora with QTpi, Dagas with Dagas as principal Blade and T-Elos and KOS-MOS, and Mòrag with Elma, Corvin, and Patroka.
I have the aux cores that increase affinity by 250 when the enemy attacks first and also the aux core that increases affinity by 250 when you attack first.
When I start the fight, I have instantly the 120% extra damage for Dagas, y use QTpi to break and Dagas with Zeke to topple, chain attack, and BOOM, thanks to Dagas damage increase, QTpi awesome damage and level 1 special, Elma and her also amazing damage and level 1 special, and T-elos fast and powerful level 1 special, I can damage cap all hits in a chain attack defeat Kurodil in 25 seconds.
I used Dagas and Vale on Zeke and it carried my whole playthrough
Kaiser Zone is such an S Tier name, even before you get to see the effects.
Expected a meme video just telling you to put Dagas on an ally and then use literally anybody else
Got an actual guide and was pleasantly surprised to learn that he's also just a solid Blade LMAO thanks Enel
Enel could you please also do a guide on how to outfit the characters you don't play as? Both drivers and their blades, cuz sometimes just like you said on this video you run hunters chemistry on dagas and sometimes you have crystal earrings on someone or w/e and id like you to go a little more in depth on that department
When I see dagas on zeke I always think of that video where zeke says welcome to smash town, population your face
Enel: So, I’m not saying it’s all about Kaiser Zone......but it’s all about Kaiser Zone.
I think dagas has one of the best designs on xc2
I never worked on Dagas' chart because I heavily disliked him at the time so I am definitely curious to see what I've been missing on gameplay wise.
How to use Dagas?
Put him on a driver as the only blade. Done.
Dagas: "Why would you need any other blade but me?"
Even better idea: Dagas on Zeke solo 😏
Hey this is the blade I've seen in every video but it's the one I don't have, even though I have KOS-MOS. (I'm sure I'm sure I'm missing some other ones too but Dagas is like in every Enel video)
The King is here!
So I never used Dagas due to being completely unaware that he's only good after you do his Blade Quest.
Keep in mind, I didnt just hate bad Dagas due to sucky combat capabilities, but also because I hate how arrogant he acted. Im gonna go do his Blade Quest now.
I've never used him because on my first run he was my last rare blade and by that point had Zenobia (This was before all the stupidly broken DLC came out though)
K A I S E R _ Z O N E _ I N T E N S I F I E S
Having a god awful day so thanks for the video!
Mythra's Photon Edge with Dagas' AOE ⬆️

Hi Enel, came back to this video after a while. I've 100% XC2 completely with literally everything done, and was teaching someone about XC2 and optimal builds. I was wondering if the Sunlight Chip was worth considering for Dagas. The changes are auto attack from 1697 to 1680 (minor decrease), block from 15% to 5% (which doesn't really matter) and crit from 27% to 30% (minor increase).
The main reason I ask about this is the Sunlight chip effect of granting 500 additional HP. If Dagas is pure support and is only being used for Kaiser zone, is this possibility even worth considering to increase survivability slightly? Or is the 25% crit damage boost on Tachyon chip just more beneficial even if he very rarely/never sees battle.
500 hp probably isn't going to be that game changing for the most part, he isn't likely to take aggro.
@@EnelXC I see, that makes sense. The crit damage likely helps for slightly better time consistency in challenge modes on the rare occasion he's pulled out for a chain attack or something. Thanks for the response, Enel, was very helpful :)
My man!!! Finally
Can you do a guide on exactly what you want on your common blades? I see the common blades you have equipped with Dagas, but I don’t know why
They're just stat mods lol
@@EnelXC orb mastery, slamdown, Fusion Combo; crit damage + max affinity attack; right?
for as much as I love to use my favorite blades and how much I hate Dagas I agree that Kaiser Zone is hands down the best support skill in the game and quite frankly the only reason I can tolerate his high and mighty attitude now imagine if Mythra had that along with foresight
Finaly the king him self! Make a way for Dagas!!
I love Dagas, just throw him in another party and profits all around!
My doubt is against Elma. With Patroka and Adenine in theory you have a 300% elemental damage advantage but if you remove one of them for Dagas you lose a 150% elemental damage but you win a 120% damage and AOE damage in general. In theory if Elma doesn't summon her clones the first option is slightly better if you know how to glitch the ghost factory skill but if you don't then Dagas is extremely reliable, because not only your party members hit harder but also the clones can be dealt with effectively and once the clones are eliminated, you can focus on Elma with the three party members that still have the damage boost Dagas can provide. Galactic Strike will hit all the clones with Dagas, something unthinkable with Patroka
or Adenine though.
I don't know how to bug the ghost factory skill, but it happened to me. I was able to kill the level 60 elma in 40 minutes lol
@@tesladrew2608 Apparently, you can glitch Ghost Factory if you use a level 4 special when Elma is about to summon the clones. She summons the clones every two minutes, until a max of 10 clones iirc. If 1 minute and 55 seconds have passed since her last summoning ritual and you use the level 4 special, both animations overlap and Elma is unable to summon ghosts anymore, making the battle a lot easier without having to use an orb to seal the ghosts. I did it with Corvin but I suspect it works with every level 4 special, so as long as you time it right, you can get it.
@@juanjosedelpinorivas7099 See that's weird, because it bled into the level 65 version. She tried to summon the ghosts when the fight began but she couldn't. I definitely didn't have a level 4 then lol. I thought it might have been because I dragged her over to the corner when I did the 60 version, I don't remember if I did a level 4 or not there.
@@tesladrew2608 I guess the game try to cope with the animation but because the level 4 is in motion at that specific moment, there's a risk of crashing the game, so it decides it's better not to summon the clones.
Hail to the king baby.
imagine if floren was the king and dagas was the small kid who has a bitball, then zeke could spam kaiser zone PULVERIZING PULVERIZING
Kaiser zone seems super useful. I've been playing on BoC mode and so I'm always trying to figure out how to stay alive but do damage. What would be the best way to keep up kaiser zone with a.i partners?
BEHOLD THE POWER OF A TRUE BLADE
Pre-quest Dagas blade guide when? ; )
