Tips for Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X

  • Your Morale is another word for party solidarity. Higher Morale means characters work well together. Additionally, you receive more opportunities to activate Soul Voices and earn extra TP. 
  • If a battle tips in the enemy’s favor, activate the emergency escape. You’ll need to survive 15 more seconds, and will automatically appear at the closest landmark. 
  • It’s in your best interest to finish a battle. The game will revive the entire party, HP will increase for characters and skells, and finally, you’ll lose buffs and debuffs. 
  • You earn two types of experience after winning a battle. Your character will receive EXP for increasing stats. Class EXP, however, applies to his or her class rank, giving you the chance to acquire new Arts or skills. 
  • Armor that covers more than one body part is oftentimes stronger than a piece of armor covering one body part.
  • Wearing an ugly piece of armor with great stats? Look for a more fashionable piece of armor and press the X button while in the Ground Gear menu. Set this armor as fashion gear and you’ll apply the same stats to it. 
  • You can damage a creature with your Skell by running into it, but doing this initiates a battle. 
  • When using your Skell, make sure you have a G-Buster weapon on hand. You’ll be able to inflict Bind on the fiercest enemies in the game.
