Perceval is the kind of guy you want to back you in a fight against a group of bullies. Apparently he actually has a regular human face, but we don’t see it because of his mask
My third ever blade, and one of my absolute favourites. Considering how often I get into fights with huge amounts of enemies, Perceval was a mainstay for most of my playthrough. I would rank him as my second favourite Katana, with Theory being my absolute favourite.
I wish more blades were like Percecal: super good under certain conditions but just serviceable under others. Heck, the pre-release E3 trailers and Directs for this game even advertised the whole Blade system to be similar to weapon swapping from other games: "use the right blade/weapon for the right job/battle".
You forgot the most important part of Perceval: The Perceval Roulette You give Perceval a weak weapon and auto attack the Mayne Driver in Torigoth. If you don't execute him take the punishment of your choice. Challenge Mode: Nia and Perceval alone into the Old Factory with Perceval's only aux core being Humanoid Slayer. Nia has a Humanoid Slayer art on her Katanas.
I really like the Godfrey + Perceval + Perun mission cause it kind of showed different means to the same end? A strange place to mention that, but yeah, I felt like mentioning it
Oh boy, one of my favorite tank blades (besides Kasandra) and I love these blade guides. I always get hype when Enel posts a new blade video. I’ll always tune in
Awesome, we are still enjoying the content. I can't play anymore since my joy con has reached God like level of drifting, so I get my daily XC2 dose by watching your videos :p
It seems Perceval is the nerfed version that we got from T-elos. Only an aux core...that's really sad. I used him in the Dino challenge and the other one in Temperantia but I gave up on him against Carlos because honestly I thought T-elos was just a monster hitting like a truck after killing a few enemies but for the main game Perceval is fine. He's a balanced blade and his design is sick, I absolutely love his design.
I don't know if I imagined it or not, but there's a part near the end of the game where Rex fights his comrades and I took down Zeke using Perceval's Brandish...
I recently had a playthrough of this game again because of chuggaconroy's let's play and it let me realize that he's good on old factory segment of the story and that Rex is a decent Katana user and can use the weapon decently. I managed to get Percival during my playthrough and managed to get him on Rex and with the knowledge of how to use him he has become very fun to use if you manage to get him early to mid game.
When people tell me that the blades in Xenoblade 2 are just cute anime girls... I tell them "yep that's completely true, but like, look at this badass pirate assassin dude." Seriously though, Perceval might just have the coolest design for a rare blade period.
Percival looks cool and is great to have in the early parts of the game I wish I he hadn't been one of the last blades I pulled on my first playthrough.
He was my very first rare blade, and I used him constantly up through Mor Ardain, because I like having a nice fast dark blade to parallel Corvin and Mithra for combo's (plus those 3 together give break, topple and smash, so some of the other party had 2 or 3 launch blades)... and even after Mor Ardain, he was frequently equipped because I love how good he is vs multiple enemies! All in all, he might not be the very best, but he's one of my favorites to use!
Would it have been better to use Adenine on Zeke for doubling damage from perceval once carlos enrages? Or is the 120% additive through the whole challenge better? Or could it go either way? Also theorycrafting that maybe dark evasion qtpi plus mythra plus patroka on morag might be the best for this challenge, or am i wrong? Either way, sick video as usual, and hope you’re doin well :)
Would've been cool if his execution ability worked on some of the regular enemies of Challenge Mode. While it is inconsistent, it's super satisfying when you get lucky and a bulky enemy goes down in a single hit.
Perceval, one of the first i got back then, and was a good drunk tank, he's not really bad, while not being the worst. You choose him when you want to take some damage, but he can dish out some too. There are alot better but i put him in as a mix tank/dps guy.
Does the blade switch cooldown ever matter at all? If so, when? For the most part, I never see you switch blades because you usually have commons as stat modifiers to support the one you use.
Well, for me I usually build my team around driver combos mostly then blade combo. So I constantly switch between blades since: even though male teammates are pretty consistant at pulling off driver combos (except smash for some reason), the best way is still to do it yourself. So most of the time I equip 3 out of the 4 combo moves and wait for my teammates to do the last one. Granted, I'm not in optimal gameplay as I just started challenge mode. To summarize it can be pretty useful to have fast blade switch depending of your play style. Also, Enel is doing a guide for a specific blade so he tries to give it the best uptime/setup possible to shine.
blade switch cooldown matters plenty for optimal times and certain challenges. The reason I don't really swap in these videos is because I'm trying to show off a singular blade. But that doesn't mean you can't.
I'm not saying Perceval is amazing or anything, but wouldn't his skills make him incredible against a boss with a lot of (humanoid) adds? Use his level 3, get a bunch of adds in the aoe. Some die to the 3% instant kill, some to the 5% humanoid instant kill, some just to damage amounts, and you get the boost for killing enemies. If they call in more humanoid enemies to help, you can kill them all even more easily the same way. Meanwhile the damage boost helps kill the boss faster. I don't think there is such a boss or unique monster in the game (Tyrannotitan Kurodil might be good if you aggro the enemies nearby as well, Immovable Gonzalez might be good since he can call the nearby gogols over, normal players going through the story still might find use against some weaker unique driver enemies that have others around, like that one in Uraya). But still, in theory he could be amazing in such a fight, adds become meaningless and just make you stronger against the boss.
I put percevel on Rex but I also put Corvin on Rex so I didn’t really use him in my second playthrough on my third playthrough I pulled him on zeke I also unfortunately put corvin on zeke as well so Um sorry perceval
perceval has one of the weirdest 3d models in the game. (like have you seen those eyes?!?) the 2d art to 3d model conversion just does not work for some characters.
You can also just make sure to target another enemy you’re not currently engaging and slowly run over there weapon drawn just before wiping out the first lot and continuously do this to traverse some map sections and not loose damage?
@@EnelXC nice.. also might as well add that I recently started your xenosaga play through and at first I was just going to watch them because I think you deserve the support but I actually got genuinely interested in the game and it’s lore...so thanks for that lol
I allways find Execution skills boring, the only game I ever run it is Xcom and thats cause there is so much broken things thrown your way that this skill activating is a god send since not even bosses are inmune to it (tough it does make some hilariously anticlimatic moments occur on a regular basis) but for this game this is what I would do to Execution Lv1 Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +10% + Crit Dmg +5% Lv5 Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +20% + Crit Dmg +15% Equipment with Executioner Skill Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +15% + Crit Dmg +10% now, would it be better to make it aditive or multiplicative? I think aditive since I didnt give it that big of a boost
Inferno riders delayed attacks are annoying but inconsequential when fighting him for mats, but I’m gonna get cooked if he has fucking tempest mephis stats and deals 36k in 1 hit
'Imagine working for your 300% damage additive.'
- Crossette, maybe
brighid, maybe also.
T-Elos, who has to bust her or her teammates’ ass for an 800% total additive: “You call that work?”
@@Idontneednohandle998 that’s something she would say
THIS GUIDE IS COOL AND HELPFUL AND AM DEFINITELY NOT JUST TYPING THIS BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOO
thanks bro
Idk bro that kinda sus
Perceval is the kind of guy you want to back you in a fight against a group of bullies.
Apparently he actually has a regular human face, but we don’t see it because of his mask
Perceval is my favorite one trick pony. When he's good, he's good... And when he's not he's there for A E S T H E T I C
the ink slashes are just *mwah*
Still waiting on my girl Kiko the common blade 😔
I was hoping for segai next
I actually appreciate balancing like this. He’s borderline busted in one area but subpar in another. I wish more games balanced like this!
Enel and Chugga are working together so well. I love the crossover
My third ever blade, and one of my absolute favourites. Considering how often I get into fights with huge amounts of enemies, Perceval was a mainstay for most of my playthrough. I would rank him as my second favourite Katana, with Theory being my absolute favourite.

Heck, the pre-release E3 trailers and Directs for this game even advertised the whole Blade system to be similar to weapon swapping from other games: "use the right blade/weapon for the right job/battle".
I still find it hilarious that Gogol superboss have essentially a Kamehameha for a Desperation Move
Ah Perceval, such a cool looking blade and honestly a pretty badass guy
You forgot the most important part of Perceval: The Perceval Roulette
You give Perceval a weak weapon and auto attack the Mayne Driver in Torigoth.
If you don't execute him take the punishment of your choice.
Challenge Mode: Nia and Perceval alone into the Old Factory with Perceval's only aux core being Humanoid Slayer. Nia has a Humanoid Slayer art on her Katanas.
Posted on Xenoblade 2’s third anniversary, proof that Perceval is a very blessed blade!
Perceval: I am darkness.. I am the hero who shall not kill… I am… Perceval! (Batman theme plays)
he feels really good in a casual playthrough
I really like the Godfrey + Perceval + Perun mission cause it kind of showed different means to the same end? A strange place to mention that, but yeah, I felt like mentioning it
Oh boy, one of my favorite tank blades (besides Kasandra) and I love these blade guides. I always get hype when Enel posts a new blade video. I’ll always tune in
I like to think that he is so good in multi enemy fights due to his extroverted personality.
Awesome, we are still enjoying the content.
I can't play anymore since my joy con has reached God like level of drifting, so I get my daily XC2 dose by watching your videos :p
First rare Blade I ever pulled on my very first playthrough. He's pretty cool imo. Also happy BD Xenoblade 2
I just finished Perceval’s blade quest yesterday. How fitting that you uploaded this guide today!
I completed his chart this morning. xD
Perceval was the first blade guide that I ever watched from you. It taught me how to actually PLAY this game. He’s #1 in my heart
It seems Perceval is the nerfed version that we got from T-elos. Only an aux core...that's really sad. I used him in the Dino challenge and the other one in Temperantia but I gave up on him against Carlos because honestly I thought T-elos was just a monster hitting like a truck after killing a few enemies but for the main game Perceval is fine. He's a balanced blade and his design is sick, I absolutely love his design.
As soon as I saw Perceval I knew I needed him no matter how meta he was.
I don't know if I imagined it or not, but there's a part near the end of the game where Rex fights his comrades and I took down Zeke using Perceval's Brandish...
(stares directly at emile's liking of Perceval) mhm, sure, no reason at all to do perceval first
These blade guides are like the highlight of my day these days
“Percy”
-Enel 2020
No mercy percy
"Unstop is not a word *but that's fine"*
Sure it is
Hoping for Electra next because I want to know what makes her so bad even by Shield Hammer standards.
My first rare blade ever! He always has nostalgia for me and was one of the first i got to S!
Always enjoy your guides.
The thumbnail on this is sick. Can't comment on the vid yet. Will watch later! Much love Enel!
I recently had a playthrough of this game again because of chuggaconroy's let's play and it let me realize that he's good on old factory segment of the story and that Rex is a decent Katana user and can use the weapon decently. I managed to get Percival during my playthrough and managed to get him on Rex and with the knowledge of how to use him he has become very fun to use if you manage to get him early to mid game.
Also you probably don't like hearing suggestions, but I'd love to see Agate next, she's my absolute favorite rare blade.
I remember getting Percival as my first Rare Blade. I stopped using him once I got Mythra and Crossette. Good times
When people tell me that the blades in Xenoblade 2 are just cute anime girls... I tell them "yep that's completely true, but like, look at this badass pirate assassin dude."
Seriously though, Perceval might just have the coolest design for a rare blade period.
Percival looks cool and is great to have in the early parts of the game I wish I he hadn't been one of the last blades I pulled on my first playthrough.
Perceval seems very interesting because of that one skill, perhaps I'll build him for some challenge mode stuff myself in future
I've gotten a total of four non-essential unique blades so far and I already know I'm going ride or die with Perceval until the end of the game!
Are you sure this guide was of your own free will, and not just Chugga making you do this?
Cool looking blade. Thought he was a fire blade at first because of the artwork for him.
He was my very first rare blade, and I used him constantly up through Mor Ardain, because I like having a nice fast dark blade to parallel Corvin and Mithra for combo's (plus those 3 together give break, topple and smash, so some of the other party had 2 or 3 launch blades)... and even after Mor Ardain, he was frequently equipped because I love how good he is vs multiple enemies!

either is fine. Dagas just helps for the entire fight.
Would've been cool if his execution ability worked on some of the regular enemies of Challenge Mode. While it is inconsistent, it's super satisfying when you get lucky and a bulky enemy goes down in a single hit.
He might not be the best or the most useful but he is really cool
I'd like to see you do Dagas or Boreas soon; they're pretty special.
May not be the best blade but god his art is so good
He was one of my first gacha blades so I have a lot of love for him
He's my favorite blade I'm glad he doesn't suck 😁😁
Blade vortex is top tier in my heart.
This is a very helpful guide!
Cheers Enel, keep it up!
pog chamb
holy shit it’s flyann
yo is that THE flyann?
The one blade that matters imo
I mean its pretty impressive he can take down Carlos without any additive aux cores ngl
Honestly I don’t care if Percy is strong or not, I just love his design so much that I wanna use him no matter what
I don't get why Monolith won't let us earn more Aux Core slots. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
It's like limiting aux core slots was meant to balance the more busted blades in the game, but ended up getting used for the exact opposite.
Oh Percy alot like wulfrik because he is a blade who is gentle dispute his appearance.
It'd be really cool if you had Chuggaa do the narration for you on one of these.
i awakened Percival on Rex - but ill get him to Morag eventually
Poiceval, when ever I choose him I say that out loud. Try it.
are the 2 support blades you carry on morag both agility blades?
The Japanese version of this guy is literally just Season 4 Judai from Yugioh GX
I love him so much
Keep it up Enel.

Daanng, my fav blade and my first rare blade
Enel I noticed you stopped saying "have a blessed day" at the end of your videos. did you change religions?
nope! Still Christian and may bring this back if you miss it haha
@@EnelXC I just liked seeing a personal side of your life shine through your content
Something funny about Perceval is he can break the damage cap to one shot a humanoid enemy
I know this is kind of unrelated to Perceval, but why were you pausing at the start of each wave of the challenge battle? what benefit does that give?
time save, it's just muscle memory at this point since I go for records a lot
@@EnelXC ohhh I see! that makes sense then. thank you so much for your response!!

Why is everything that morag does so cute?
Oh, a fellow Morag enjoyer, I see. Very well, my friend, I see you have taste.
i am going to bay the mithly blades hoody for Christmas can't what love the videos
I put percevel on Rex but I also put Corvin on Rex so I didn’t really use him in my second playthrough on my third playthrough I pulled him on zeke I also unfortunately put corvin on zeke as well so Um sorry perceval
can't wait for the godfrey guide, I want definitive terms on how bad he is.
Is there a known formula which calculates whenever you dodge attacks? There probably is, I just can't find it.
Don't know the exact formula for evasion but you can easily hit the cap of 97%.
Can't wait until Enel talks about how sexy QTpi is in every video.
I will be very glad if you make new guide video for Shulk, Fiora and Elma.. have been waiting them for several months
I will eventually I promise
@@EnelXC You're caring every small comments! I'll keep waiting and have fun with other videos you make

i bet he will do Kos-Mos as the last blade of the series.
He's probably still farming Core Crystals to unlock her. XD
@@irohdw6055 well... im lucky that she was my second rare blade ive got lol
None can stand against me.
Cool line but I'll still press X to doubt.
Enel do you think you could do Telos and Kosmos next to each other like how you did mythra and then pyra afterwards
i will lol
@@EnelXC nice.. also might as well add that I recently started your xenosaga play through and at first I was just going to watch them because I think you deserve the support but I actually got genuinely interested in the game and it’s lore...so thanks for that lol
This is the only Blade I don't have. I have used a least 200 Legendary Cores.
Wait a second...this isn't KOS-MOS!
2:00-2:25 - Sound be poppi...
RIP, only 1 aux core slot
Cool vid
I was pogging a little bit until you made me remember he had only 1 aux core slot.....
Wait, do ALL Level 4 Specials freeze Driver Combos?
yes

but for this game this is what I would do to Execution
Lv1 Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +10% + Crit Dmg +5%
Lv5 Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +20% + Crit Dmg +15%
Equipment with Executioner Skill
Versus X Type of enemy, Crit +15% + Crit Dmg +10%
now, would it be better to make it aditive or multiplicative? I think aditive since I didnt give it that big of a boost
I kept him on Zeke most of my playthrough
What’s with the audio glitches every so often? Great video anyways though 👍
should hopefully be fixed in future videos, sorry about that.
Great video but theres something weird about the mic
yeah I mention that in description, should hopefully be fixed for other vids.

unimpressive specials, very niche uses, powerful when set up properly...
He truly is an assassin in every sense of the word.
