Second Gear increases her Art damage similar to Shulk’s Shadow Eye (albeit pairing with much stronger physical Arts) while Lock-On increases her critical hit rate via an Aura. Her positioning based Arts (Double Blade and Spear Blade) deal triple damage, and she has access to Break, Topple, and Daze Arts, allowing her to stagger enemies herself if need be.īeyond being a powerhouse fighter, Fiora is surprisingly useful when it comes to buffs & debuffs. As she’s part Mechon at this point, Fiora has exclusive access to Mechon armor and can actually deal damage against Mechon without the need for Monado Enchant or anti-Mechon weapons.Īlthough Fiora comes late– serving as Xenoblade Chronicles ’ last party member– there’s still more than enough game for her to pull her weight, and she likely will. With unreasonably high base stats, a weapon that attacks twice when it makes content, and one of the most useful Art pools in the game, Fiora almost demands a slot when she rejoins the party later in the game. Shulk’s only real downside is that he’s best controlled– his AI isn’t too spectacular.
Shulk doesn’t have access to traditional buffs or debuffs, but Monado Arts like Monado Shield, Monado Speed, and Monado Purge will all find plenty of use in the hands of skilled players. Shulk has access to more in-battle Arts than any other party member in the game (a full 16.) Shulk can also naturally deal damage to Mechons, making him more or less essential during the early game as Monado Enchant is often more reliable than Break/Topple/Dazing. Plus, there’s a reason Shulk is comparatively weak as far as stats go– his Monado Arts. RELATED: The 5 Best Things About Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition (& The 5 Worst)
That said, Shulk serves as a reasonably balanced character who only improves over the course of the game. He won’t be hitting as hard as most party members, nor will he be as fast or as sturdy. Notably, his stats are all around kind of on the weak side. Shulk is overall the most useful party member in the game, but he does have some setbacks.
