I have a really funny story about Kosmos. I've played Xc2 all the way through almost a dozen times over the last seven years. Never got kosmos. This year, while doing one of my annual series replays, I found myself standing before the final boss door in Xc2. This had been my best run of the game yet, as by this point I had nearly every system down to a science, with a final playtime of 44.5 hours. Before I went to the final boss, I wanted to use my last two legendary core crystals. I verbally, audibly, said out loud to no one in particular: "This is my last chance to get Kosmos". A rolled the first core, and Bam, Kosmos. I sat in my chair, silently staring at the switch for a solid three minutes. After seven years, it would have been surprising enough to roll Kosmos, but the fact that I said it out loud, in front of the final boss door, on my last two legendary core crystals, during the best run I'd ever had of the game, was enough to make me think I'd used up all the luck I'd ever have again.

So I plopped her into my party and beat the final boss with Kosmos for the first time ever. I do not think I will ever top that run of Xc2

For anyone wondering, the best possible setup will multiply the base rarity by ~7.1 making the best possible odds of getting KOS-MOS 0.7% or about 1 in 140

Surprisingly, Kosmos was one of the first rare blades I got during my first playthrough

Correction in relation to the probability groups: The developers did mess up, and getting the pity Blades originally intended for group 5 is impossible. However, the probability group works completely fine. What happened instead is that the pity Blades intended for group 1 also are the pity Blades for group 2. The ones intended for group 2 actually end up being the pity Blades for group 3, and so on, meaning the ones intended for group 5 don't happen at all. You can still get the probabilities for group 5, but you'll end up with the Blades intended for group 4 instead.

I know this is correct because I got Kora, Nim, and Finch early on in my playthrough, the pity Blades intended for group 4. However, the last Blade I have left is Agate, I've opened many core crystals and still haven't got her. This would make sense in group 5, where she has a 0.13% chance, almost as rare as KOS-MOS. Additionally, some of the last rare Blades I got where Electra, Ursula, and Floren, who all have a 0.25% chance in group 5.

Also, in relation to the luck stat, while it does have an effect, it is the least impactful effect. At 999 luck it only boosts chance by x1.36. Also, the luck stat is inside a square root, which means more luck has a reducing effect. 300 luck is a x1.17, 500 luck is a x1.24 modifer. 900 has a x1.34 modifier, almost the maximum. Because of this, I tend not to bother about the luck stat since it has a minimal effect, and reorganising my Blades to get a high luck stat isn't really worth the hassle.

Great guide ! About idea boosters as far as I know using a booster overrides the peak values of you other ideas. So just using one Justice booster is enough to increase you chance for getting a Light or Dark blade.

I got KOS-MOS on chapter 4 from a common crystal. She was summoned by Nia. You don't know how excited I was but not as excited as mobile gacha games because I knew there was some sort of pity system so eventually I would get everyone. After watching this video, I understood how lucky I was. Good luck on everyone farming for her!

[mikkelstergaard]

Cool, can't wait to follow this guide and still not get her, but at least now I know how to get better odds

[yama-kaskad]

I’ve got KOS-MOS in chapter 4 from rare crystal 😂
It was my second or third blade)
The most difficult for me was catch Zenobia.

[ValToadstool]

I'm glad you made this video. Most people think getting her is a much bigger grind than it probably will be

YOO YOU STARTED PLAYING MY FAVOURITE PERSONA 3 SONG COLOUR YOUR NIGHT AT 8:24

[Smausmetroid]

Yeah im one of those sad people that had to try for a year to get kosmos, seeing her on my screen was enough to have my entire family wondering what the propblem was😂😮

[snugkoala]

Wow, this guide was super helpful! Ill definitely be using this when I finally complete the story on my save. Great video and thanks a bunch for the help!

[Jahames]

I’M REALLY FEELING (reaction when people finally pull the rarest blade in the game)

[nowi]

I remember Kos-mos was my first rare blade summoned but never figured out she was special until watching people grinding for her online lmao

[gilbertguerrero]

Another thing which makes the grind a lot more bearable: you can just cheat the game by using the aforementioned strategies and then make a cloud save with NSO. If you still don’t get KOS-MOS, just reload the save 😉.

[Lightmanone]

Finally a really good guide on how to grind for core crystals. Thank you! Althought I got KOS-MOS, i only need like 3 other blades so far. Almost got them all!!

[iishiir]

The overcooking bangle is crazy on tora i hit the driver combo so often just with tora. Qtpi has break and launch, alpha has topple, and qt has smash

[Qwerty]

It took me a while to get her. I savescummed like crazy. Also took a pic at my Switch when I got her.

Then, no jokes, I stopped playing Xeno 2 immediately for like 10 months :DD

[alexbranigan]

Y’all probably gonna think I’m lying but I’ll say it anyway I got her on Zeke with no luck boosting gear.
