The big world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 offers countless hours of fun. However, the first hours of play can be a bit overwhelming with all the tutorials on the in-depth game systems. So that you can get off to a good start in the role-playing game, we have summarized the most important information for you.

Character change and role distribution

In Chapter 1, your group consists of three characters: Noah, Lanz and Eunie. After fighting your way through the first chapter, you will get to know the main characters Mio, Taion and Sena. Each main character has a different class, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Each class is assigned to one of three categories, also known as roll be referred to:

  • Defender: Hold enemy aggro and minimize incoming damage.
  • Attacker: Deal the highest damage in the group.
  • Healer: Heal their companions’ wounds and can even revive them.

How do I switch characters?

From the second chapter you can change your main character at any time by ZL+R or ZL+L pushes. Character switching even works in combat and is an important tactical tool that you shouldn’t underestimate.

Use one tactical character changeto reposition your group. This allows opponents to be better grouped or group members to be taken out of danger zones. The AI ​​isn’t flawless and it’s quite possible that your defender doesn’t hold every aggro or your healer doesn’t heal enough. In this case, a quick character change is recommended to correct the error.

What happens if the group dies?

The further you advance in the game, the the fights become more difficult. Exploring the open game world is not without its dangers either. Careless action can quickly cost you your life.

If your main character dies outside of combat, for example from fall damage or while attempting to escape, you will be revived at the beginning of the area. You only lose a fight when your entire group has died. Here, too, you will be reset to the starting point of the area. Experience points and collected items are not lost when you die.

This increases your chances of survival

Always make sure to have two healers in the group. If a healer dies, you can use the other healer to revive him. Avoid unnecessary fights and fight one opponent after another. If you’re not looking for a fight, avoid the roaming elite monsters.

If the whole thing is still too difficult for you, you can do it difficulty of the game down at any time. You can find the setting in the options. This does not give you a playful disadvantage. Experience points earned and items rewarded remain the same.

It’s easier to fight with a full stomach

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3 it is possible to increase the efficiency of your party by eating meals. Meals can at rest areas be cooked if you have the necessary ingredients and the appropriate recipe. You can find ingredients in the open game world or buy them from merchants.

In addition, each colony has one canteen, where you can buy delicious meals. If you eat a meal here, you can learn the corresponding recipe in order to cook it later at one of the rest areas.

Each dish provides you with others bonuses, which are mostly active for an hour. In addition to an XP boost, which you should have active as often as possible, you can improve the drop rates of gold, items and coins.

Increase Colony Flame Clock & Affinity

The Flame Clock is a special game mechanic that only in the first chapter from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 attacks. The Flame Clock is a blue gauge in the upper-right corner of the screen that shows how much energy your colony currently has.

You can fill the meter by defeating opponents in the game world. A full gauge gives you bonuses to your combat stats. The Flame Clock’s energy drains over time, so don’t dodge every enemy. An empty display punishes you too maliwhich reduce your combat values.

Attention story spoilers: After completing the first chapter, you will be freed from the bondage of the Flame Clock. Once you have completed the second chapter, you will receive a new, yellow meter that indicates your colony affinity. If you liberate a new colony, you can increase your affinity for that colony. A high affinity rewards you with numerous bonuses.

How do I increase affinity for a colony?

  • Talk to the inhabitants of a colony
  • Complete side missions
  • Complete the collection cards
  • Assists the colony in random encounters

Change the current time – this is how it works

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3 you can in the main menu or during fast travel change the current time of day at any time. This is an important game mechanic that will have a major impact on your adventure.

What is affected by the time of day?

The current time of day determines, among other things, with what monsters you get to do it. Some monsters can only be found at dusk or at night. If you need to hunt a specific monster, it pays to search the area at different times of the day.

The time of day also determines which side missions Are available. Some quests can only be found at night. Before you leave an area, you should always check whether you have found all the orders. Some side missions are no longer available to you later in the game.

What are Special Techniques?

Special talents are techniques that help you to get through the game world faster. For example, you can learn how to climb steep walls or walk over poison unscathed. There are a total of four special techniques that you can find in the main menu under “group bonuses” can see.

At the beginning of the game, the talents are still locked. In the following, we list all the special talents and explain how you get them unlocks every single special technique.
