Hello there, my name is Gabriel and I play the character of young Noah in Xenoblade 3. It's AWESOME to see my character, to actually hear my voice and, to see the finished product! It's been an absolute privilege to be involved in this and it's VERY exciting to see everything come together in this way.

this man loves speedrunning so much, he even speedruns making guides, the goat 🙌

How did I know that the first thing I would see was going to be Eunie dual guns

The more I play with the classes, the more it feels like a combination of classes from X and blades from 2. Your class dictates half your arts, your auto attack string, and your role in combat like in 2, but leveling them up let's you use the arts with other classes and teaches you equippable skills. I'm really enjoying this system so far.

12 hours after release Enel is already level 74 and making guides
What a damn hero

[brandonhughes]

Game just came out and man’s already mastered the combat. Enel’s too cracked for us mere mortals

[corbinosman]

I think it’s really cool how for one side they implement aspects of Xenoblade 1, and for the other they implement combat from Xenoblade 2!

After just starting the game yesterday like most people, I must say it's good to hear you eventually learn to cancel arts into other arts because not being able to has gotten old very quickly.

Finally a guide for mastering this game. Even if I'm 20 hours in nothing beats the feeling of absolutely destroying a boss with mastering the combat

[MonadoBoyFlameRock]

Wow a XC3 Combat guide from XenoChad!
now we need a
Chain Attack Guide
Class Guide
& Gem Crafting Guide

I kind of wish the game told you what the class actions for healers were before letting you dequip Power Ring.
I was starting to wonder why Eunie was falling behind on healing; it was in part because one of her healing arts was charging veeery slowly.

[mariah]

Looking forward to all your future guides, your Xenoblade 1 and 2 guides where really helpful for me!

[RozalinGaming]

"For healers, placing ring effects, using heals and buffs can recharge."

I'm not very far right now so maybe this changes later on, but at least early on healing doesn't actually charge healer role actions; it must be placing ring effects, buffs, removing debuffs, or raising fallen allies.

I love these guide sooo much, all discussion online is about the story and lore, but I'm all about those sweet mechanics <3

[Xenowolf]

Also one thing I noticed is that when a Kevesi Ouroboros is active, the heat gauge is blue. And when an Agnian Ouroboros is active, the heat gauge is yellow. But both turn red when they start overheating.

The interesting thing to note about Xenoblade is how it took a lot of mechanics from MMOs to single player. In MMOs you have your positions / auto attack timing etc... If you ever played an MMO it is pretty easy to jump into the combat of Xenoblade.

[isakts]

This game's combat is ridiculously fun from what I've played so far. The seemingly endless possibilities make me so excited to see what else this game has to offer. Awesome guide as well :)

[luisaugustomoreiramartinez]

You know there's something special when 17 minutes fly by and you were watching a combat tutorial from a jrpg. Great work Enel!

[misterzia]

You can cancel normal arts into fusion arts. Fusion arts are a sort of wild card with the talent art being the only art that ends a cancel chain

[supacopper]

The good thing about Xenoblade 3 is even if we tend to forgot how things work, there is always tutorial and training drills that can be revisited anytime. Unlike in Xenoblade 2 where all these are only shown once and cannot be revisited from menu.
