Xenoblade Chronicles X eGuide A Primer for Prospective Citizens of Mira

Dressing the Part

Weaponry

If you want to survive the harsh elements and indigens of Mira, then it’s all about having the right gear and the wits to use it. Fortunately, members of BLADE have access to only the best of the best.

You know weapons—they’re the things you hit baddies with to make them fall over. The type of weapons a character can wield depends on what class they are. For a complete list of classes, check out the Characters chapter.

All weapons bear the following attributes:

Attack The weapon’s power.
Lv. The level a character must be in order to equip the weapon. Raise levels to equip more powerful gear.
Manufacturer The arms manufacturer that developed the weapon. Raise the level of the manufacturer to get them to produce higher level gear.
Cooldown The number of seconds between auto-attacks.
Attribute Name The type of damage dealt by the weapon. As with your personal statistics, this is broken down into six classes. Physical, beam, ether, electric, thermal and gravity.
Ammo Count The number of shots per attack.
Stability The weapon’s potential damage range. The higher the stability, the more consistently it can deal the highest amount of damage.
TP Increase The amount of TP gained per auto-attack.
Upgrades The number of times the weapon has been upgraded, and how many times it can be upgraded before it reaches its maximum level.

Armor

Armor affects all personal statistics and resistance. There are five areas where armor can be equipped: head, left arm, right arm, torso, and legs.

Equip different armors to influence type resistances as well as stats such as defense, attack, and potential. You can also use the sub-menu to upgrade armor with augments bought from the armory if the armor has a free augment slot open.
