I wish there was a 'group' art that grants anti spike.

So I'm fighting Telethia plume right? With Party Members?

Everything's going fine until it starts doing bonker's spike damage.

I switched my melee weapon to photon saber (Thinking 'ok fine I'll just heal spam ' ) and it worked. But then Telethia Plume just...randomly 1 shot my whole party. So I'm like ? what happened ? lol

Nothing 'special' really just a 'revenge' kill lol

Wii U Playthrough: Never defeated this idiot. Many attempts.

OG Switch Playthrough: Attempted a couple times, failed/got dusted every time.

This Playthrough: Attempted once during my normal story playthrough (before I had this build rolling) got laughed at. Finally killed it with this build lol.

And yes, I know about cheesing it with a long range skell build. But I didn't feel like grinding that particular build out. Maybe I will later post Ch 13 in order to farm the parts he drops.

Question about NG +

So I see that NG + Deletes the 'current' save to make a new one.

And it carries over your levels from previous playthrough. That much I already understand.

But does it create an 'entirely' new save file? Even if the 'current' save was 'marred' by the accessibility functions?

Anyone Want to wish me luck for the flower head pieces?

I don't think I'll be 'grinding' for them, but I'll try to get them when I'm in the mood.

Thing is, I got 2 already, and they're the hard to get ones. I smell something fishy.

Did I miss out on something?

So I finally have the 'oooo I can do all the shit now' key, and my first thought was to go back to that one guy in jail in the island town...and...he was dead?

So, I think I solved my 'getting enough TP' problem with my dual guns build.

The main hiccup of my build (For Me) is getting enough TP for the initial overdrive.

Tried the Photon saber idea others suggested, but I didn't like how those arts (for photon saber in general) 'felt' to use.

I had been using my Tensifiers / Mega Tensifiers to get the starting TP, but that was getting wasteful.

So I tried slapping a couple Arts Gain TP XX on my weapons. After some testing, this solved it. I just go to a 'normal' mook at the start of my play session and spam primer a few times and boom instant max TP for cross. Not the best solution by any means. (Had to sacrifice a tiny bit of range damage to do it) but hey, it works.

Dang, almost broke a hundred.

This was my first 'real' attempt at trying to get a good score in one round.

I think I wasted a bit too much time recasting Shadow Runner but I didn't want to risk getting bonked even with Ghost Walker.

For the record it doesn't super matter since I'm doing it for the flowers anyway. But I dunno, kinda fun to shoot for a high sore while I'm at it.

Does Melee Attack Drive 'compound' ?

I'm talking for both ground armor and Skell armor.

What I mean is, does it add a 'flat' 20% to your total for each one, or does it 'compound'

As in adding 20% to the new total each one you add?

I'm noticing a little bit of an epidemic with Xenoblade DE Video Guides?

Sometimes when you look up 'how do I do X quest' you'll get lucky and get a 8-10 minute video telling you exactly what you need to know/what you clicked on said video for.

Other times? Video is 20 + minutes long and 2/3'rds of the video is running around like a goofball instead of showing the quest objective.

I'm sure it's just a 'me' thing, but when I'm looking for a 'guide' on a game I prefer quick tutorial vs 'viewer retention time' style of delivering info. And honestly the only reason this even bugs me (it's more of a pet peeve than anything) is because youtube likes to shove the 30 + minute videos to the top of search results.

Where to 'farm' complimentary weapons for the G Piledriver?

Ok so, I was told in my previous thread that said formula zero build was nowhere near enough.

I Tried it and, it got it to about half HP. That got me wondering if the 'build' was correct but the Frame, armor, and weapons weren't. (Aside from the G Piledriver)

To be clear. I want to "one shot" telethia. I'm a bit sad I can't use FZ for this cause I like the frame, but I'll do what I must. I wanna get the good ending for that one quest this playthrough dangit. (And yes I know it's just a dialogue change, but a good ending is a good ending)

Will this Pointy Thing Kill the Ultra Fauna Bosses?

I feel like it will, but I need a suitable opponent to test it on before I try to poke Telethia.

This thing is mainly for that but I guess it would work on the other bosses that are Ultra Fauna too.

Rate The Fit chat (out of 10)

Trying to make good outfits where the 'gold' pieces work drives me insane.

But I feel like I nailed it with this one. What do ya'll think?

I've been wanting a good outfit with a tiny bit of gold for a while now.

What's your least favorite 'un fun' thing to deal with in RPG's? (Including DQ)

My personal least favorites:

1: 'how do we make this boss hard' 'I know let's give it 3 + actions per turn'

2: 'how do we make this boss last longer' 'I know let's give it a gajillion HP'

3: 'can we give it multiple phases' 'sure but let's do a health bar twice as large and no healing between rounds'

Teach me how to fight the online superbosses?

I kinda want to take a crack at them now that I have a funny powerful build going.

I'm not sure if I'll survive the whole fight, but my cross sneezes on stuff (I know that's not what she's doing but I imagined that when using zero zero with this build and wheezed so now I can't un see it) and it dies right now. I'd like to maybe earn the telethia parts plus I also want the cool head armor fashion pieces eventually. (Maybe not all variants)

I also think fighting the bosses is probably a better way to get the rare mats VS buying them with tickets ? At least if I want them En Masse.

So, Receding Rust farming might not be that hard with my build...

Mental image of My cross sneezing by accident and everything in front of her dying.

Not sure if everything else I'll have to fight will die this quickly though.

So I'm starting to see diminishing returns on M ATK XX Augments on my skell

Do I stop stacking them at this point? I'm thinking of Doing more Opening Art Damage Up

Maybe Melee Attack Boost if you can put that on weapons ? But I have 3 on the frame already.

The main weapon is G Pile Driver (Level 60) and I'm trying to make a 'one shot' telethia build. Cause I wanna get the 'good' ending to that one quest this playthrough. (I know it's just a slight change in dialogue but still)

So, NielNail refuses to use Heroic Tale on her own for me but I had a silly idea.

It'll make her next to useless in the actual battles, but I was thinking of making it the only art on her palate. I'll be trying it out shortly but if that doesn't help I'll put her arts back on probably. Otherwise how do I convince her to use Heroic tale on her own?
