Choosing the perfect team in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition can feel daunting, given the vast array of characters and their overlapping abilities. This guide highlights the top five party members to ensure you’re always prepared for any challenge.
Elma
Elma, despite being the first recruit, isn’t just a beginner-friendly choice. As a Full Metal Jaguar user, she excels in balancing defense, support, and offense. Focus on leveling up her Ghostwalker and Ghost Factory skills, which create decoys and boost evasion, respectively. While she may occasionally pause during combat, her ability to buff herself and deal critical hits makes her invaluable. Essential for most story missions, Elma’s versatility ensures she remains a key member.
Irina
Irina stands out as the ultimate supporter. Her healing abilities, debuff removal, and evasion buffs make her indispensable. With Energy Source and Last Stand, she generates TP for the team while sacrificing her own. Though she lacks offensive prowess, pairing her with strong attackers keeps battles short and sweet. Ensure she’s never alone; at least one, preferably two, heavy hitters should accompany her.
Nagi
Nagi shines as a Duelist, capable of dealing massive damage while fending for himself. His Blossom Dance is a game-changer, ignoring resistances and decimating tough foes. To maximize his potential, pair him with a supporter like Irina or use Mastermind skills to debuff enemies. His versatility and self-sufficiency make him a standout choice.
Mia
Mia’s adaptability makes her a jack-of-all-trades. She debuffs enemies, deals heavy damage with Beam Barrage and Myopic Screen, and can even topple foes. However, her lack of defensive capabilities means she needs a teammate who can cover her weaknesses. Her aura-powered attacks make her a formidable asset when paired correctly.
H.B.
As an upgraded Shield Trooper+, H.B. offers superior defense compared to Lin. Beyond his protective abilities, he attracts enemy attention effectively, making him ideal for aggressive players. His taunt attack generates TP, and he debuffs enemies, boosts ranged attacks, and even topples foes. Completing his affinity mission and recruiting him is essential for surviving tougher encounters.
