How To Use Shulk in Xenoblade: Definitive Edition 

Its so upsetting you can only change the appearance of shulks weapons on a NG+ file not just a clear file, makes me want to blitz through NG+ to fight the superbosses instead lol

@@DivineRainor I thought beating Future Connected is what unlocks Shulk's weapon cosmetic slot.

@@conorb.1901 Absolutely not the case. You get a new customisation option, but not the ability to change it since it's important to the story

@@jamesgardner4athp that's dumb. The replica from Future Connected is my favourite looking of all of Shulk's swords, I want to use that one

@@conorb.1901 You're able to use the replica from FC but only in NG+ i know its a pain but at least you can use it!

It’s like a basement without the body

Adam Encinas Very true

He ruined it. Shulk just takes a forward janky crap and the boss die just like that.

@@planetary-rendez-vous 'Ruined' it? I think you meant 'perfected' it.

@@planetary-rendez-vous huh?

Step 3: Now its Reyn time

@@toonlinkssbb515 6

I'm really feeling it!

Abdo1981 Mhamd spitting straight facts

Actually, the extra damage from Enchant against Mechon only applies to auto attacks, not Arts.

@@espeonscottie I've seen sword drones get the bonus damage. You may have tried to observe it in a chain attack, which doesn't get the enchant bonus, probably because that'd be busted with the chain attack multipliers

@@espeonscottie This was changed in DE it applies to arts as well now

Ohhhhhh I've been using Enchant for the "free" damage but it doens't actually do anything except on Mechons...

@@jaskaranbajwa8443 Oh wow, well that was a buff to Enchant then.

Where do I get eater

@@thomassinger5629 I think in the High Entia Tomb

Thomas Singer It’s at the end of a mid-game quest-line once Valak Mountain opens up. Lupa in Frontier Village gives it to you after reaching just 2 star area affinity and completing one other quest for her just beforehand, she’s in the Archeology centre about halfway up the tree

@@Kasaaz Armour comes from a chain of side quests in Frontier Village, it starts at the Archaeology Center with Lupa iirc, its some quest about their grandpa

@@Pixtrix_ Whoops. I knew it was a side quest I did sometime around when I got to Fallen Arm... I think I accidentally finished that other one around then, maybe...

Which is especially funny when you remember that the particle effects are in the cutscenes

It’s like the foam finger from dead space

Right I didn't even think to briefly mention that but I'll make sure to put that in future videos.

She had it the best, Meliá got friend zoned hard af, like that even hurt me, but I do agree, I don’t see why people keep downplaying sharla

Sharla is underrated but she have her use. The worst character in this game is probably Seven. She is highly overrated character. Not tanky, worst weapons, bad accuracy, terrible Arts, etc. It like all bad things combined in one package.

@@keitlowell157 "Bad accuracy" She literally has the second best agility stat in the game outside of Dunban. You're trolling, because if you're not you have no idea what you're talking about.

​@@SeriousStriker Sure she only have 10 agility point lower than Dunban but there are more to that. - She doesn't have a skill tree to increase agility stats like other characters. - She doesn't have an Art to improve her own accuracy like Dunban. - Unlike other characters who relying on Arts, she is relying on auto attack and auto attack doesn't have bonus accuracy like Arts. Have her fight monster that have 6 to 7 level higher than her or those superbosses and her attack will missed or blocked...a lot even with Night Vision and max Agility up eqipped. All of this is just one of her weakness and she still have more flaws that can be pointed out.

Keit Lowell that’s exactly why she’s not in FC, and dunban basically pressured Shulk to date seven which just throws Meliá under the bus, but this also means Shulk is loyal af and that explains why he doesn’t have any lines with malos when he is in the dlc for XC2, bc he knows his monado’s weak af

While this is still useful, don't mistake this as thinking you'll do 50% more damage; chain attack damage is an additive multiplier just like Shadow Eye, so if you Shadow Eye and land Back Slash from behind at x5 in a chain attack with his skills Ultimate Teamwork and Element of Surprise, Shadow Eye is just the difference between (Back Slash's base damage) * 1025% damage and (Back Slash's base damage) * 1075% damage.

@@celestialspark5697 *EXTRA DAMAGE IS EXTRA DAMAGE I SAY* !

Well, are you satisfied with its appearance?

@@bluegem8582 honestly NGL its kinda lame

I could've sworn he already did

He did tutorials for her and Rikki

@@thedevilofparadis6107 No he didn't?

YES Eater actually beats out Buster in base damage because of the bleed if you arent vs mechon, so its amazing if you balance your stats on Shulk with 100 of each rather than 150 in one (Shulk has higher base Ether than Strength) PLUS the fan aoe is going hit more enemies than the line aoe 9 times out of 10, eater has lower cost than buster, and mechon arent actually all that common overall so the removal of buffs is needed about as often as the 2x damage to mechon from Buster

I didn't realise this either. It was my go to break art and I didn't even notice that it fills the talent gauge

im 80 hours in and I played the original game, before realizing this

@@hirsh4666 Wild, we all need to learn how to read LOL

Dude...I thought battle soul filled the party gauge not talent! Not that I really used it tho...

@@patrickshaw411 battle soul and flee repeatedly ro fill the talent gauge before a fight is so useful though. I recommend it.

It's also alvis' weapon during the battle he fights with you, albeit as a recollection with the name claymore

There's a criminal lack of quality character guide for Xenoblade so I'm glad.

max damage doesn't matter at level 99 since they both cap at 999 anyway. This makes Rudra better IMO

@@EnelXC They do both cap at 999, but attack plus isn't limited by that cap. It's probably down to preference, at the end of the day, big number or consistency, I just feel like Abyss has a very strong argument now, with the additional crit rate and such helping out. Again, parallels to thr Receding Rust with it. Yeah, Monado III is the best by far, but I know several people that feel like NG+ isn't all that worth it, myself included. Best weapon in the game, but all your quest and colony 6 progress is reset, too.

@@EnelXC Doesn't the +10% crit chance factor in to the abyss being the best?

Yeah i misspoke there and this is what i meant I promise LOL

Especially in Xenoblade x

Generally the AI is great at using Dunban, pretty good with Riki, Reyn, and Seven, okay with Shulk, and bad with Sharla and Melia.

I saw that tip but I hate using it. The dpad works just fine for me since you can buffer inputs anyway, I can usually use my right hand to move over if i need to move at the same time. Plus it remaps them for parts of the game that aren't combat which is just annoying

those are more quest related, would be hard to get footage for that now but you can look it up online pretty easily

Fandom is a bit annoying but the Xeno wiki is an excellent resource for stuff like this. If you look at the party member pages for each character there's a skill tree section with all five and unlock requirements listed.

Step 1: Link ‘Glorious Future’ to her

@@omniscientbean3708 the greatest of plans

I am kinda of curious how buffed Sharla is in this game by the simple fact that Drive boost now goes to 75% cooldown reduction instead of 65%, which is actually insane. I haven't gotten to this point yet myself, but between that, Riki's 15% CDR at night, and her own 25% CDR on healing arts, that puts Heal Round (you know, the one that basically fully heals your party) on about a 7.5 second cooldown, assuming that cooldown reduction stacks like (.25 * .85 * .75) = healing arts have 15.9% of their displayed cooldown time during Drive Boost at night. Heal Bullet would be at 2.7 seconds, Heal Blast at 3.2 seconds (thanks to the massive decrease in cooldown with the two additional levels). Drive Boost itself hits 70% uptime (without relying on Sharla to Aura Bullet herself or refreshing during chain attacks) with Dunban's +10 second aura skill linked thanks to the -6 seconds of cooldown and +2.4 seconds uptime. Makes me wonder if you can just throw up 3x Earth elements (with a Phys Protect gem to get going since you can't start with all three) and basically just facetank endgame red tag phys only users at an extremely low level.

Haze is cute and I will also miss her

@@EnelXC Hopefully one day she will come back, in the meantime keep up the great content.

there will be a number after it if its a talent art

@@EnelXC yess ty
