So, that I got in store for you guys. So, the first tip I want to go over is the first tip I want to go over is the first tip I want to go over is regarding your classes. So, choosing regarding your classes. So, choosing regarding your classes. So, choosing which class tree you want to go down which class tree you want to go down which class tree you want to go down early on in your playthrough is pretty early on in your playthrough is pretty early on in your playthrough is pretty important. Basically, I will explain it important. Basically, I will explain it important. Basically, I will explain it like this or for example, I I'll say like this or for example, I I'll say like this or for example, I I'll say what I'm doing right now. So, Drifter, what I'm doing right now. So, Drifter, what I'm doing right now. So, Drifter, Enforcer, Scycrupter, and then I'm going Enforcer, Scycrupter, and then I'm going Enforcer, Scycrupter, and then I'm going to plan on ending with mastermind. So, to plan on ending with mastermind. So, to plan on ending with mastermind. So, these classes here have let's see, knife these classes here have let's see, knife these classes here have let's see, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun, knife and ray gun. So once I get to mastermind and ray gun. So once I get to mastermind and ray gun. So once I get to mastermind and get all these arts and skills from and get all these arts and skills from and get all these arts and skills from all these other classes, basically what all these other classes, basically what all these other classes, basically what I can do is I can start at any one of I can do is I can start at any one of I can do is I can start at any one of these other classes and go down any these other classes and go down any these other classes and go down any other pathway and bring over the knife other pathway and bring over the knife other pathway and bring over the knife and ray gun weapons over to these

and ray gun weapons over to these and ray gun weapons over to these classes as well as their arts. So, for classes as well as their arts. So, for classes as well as their arts. So, for example, once I max out mastermind, example, once I max out mastermind, example, once I max out mastermind, imagine I feel like going down commando imagine I feel like going down commando imagine I feel like going down commando and partisan eagle and astral crusader and partisan eagle and astral crusader and partisan eagle and astral crusader here. As you see in partisan eagle and here. As you see in partisan eagle and here. As you see in partisan eagle and astral crusader, I have the sniper rifle astral crusader, I have the sniper rifle astral crusader, I have the sniper rifle and the javelin. But if I liked some of and the javelin. But if I liked some of and the javelin. But if I liked some of the maybe ray gun arts that I've been the maybe ray gun arts that I've been the maybe ray gun arts that I've been using in mastermind and if I'm somewhere using in mastermind and if I'm somewhere using in mastermind and if I'm somewhere in partisan eagle or astral crusader, I in partisan eagle or astral crusader, I in partisan eagle or astral crusader, I can ideally have a javelin and a ray gun can ideally have a javelin and a ray gun can ideally have a javelin and a ray gun and kind of mix and match those weapons and kind of mix and match those weapons and kind of mix and match those weapons and those arts. But here's the coolest and those arts. But here's the coolest and those arts. But here's the coolest thing. So once I max out, say mastermind thing. So once I max out, say mastermind thing. So once I max out, say mastermind or and Astral Crusader, if that's what I or and Astral Crusader, if that's what I or and Astral Crusader, if that's what I plan to do in this playthrough, plan to do in this playthrough, plan to do in this playthrough, hypothetically, what I can do is I can hypothetically, what I can do is I can hypothetically, what I can do is I can go all the way back into Drifter and use go all the way back into Drifter and use go all the way back into Drifter and use whichever weapons and whichever arts and whichever weapons and whichever arts and whichever weapons and whichever arts and whichever skills that I want that I've whichever skills that I want that I've whichever skills that I want that I've gotten from all of these classes that I gotten from all of these classes that I gotten from all of these classes that I maxed out. So I'll give you guys another maxed out. So I'll give you guys another maxed out. So I'll give you guys another example. In my first playthrough on the example. In my first playthrough on the example. In my first playthrough on the Wii U, I maxed out full metal jaguar and Wii U, I maxed out full metal jaguar and Wii U, I maxed out full metal jaguar and got all these dual swords and dual gun got all these dual swords and dual gun got all these dual swords and dual gun arts and all the skills from this class.

arts and all the skills from this class. arts and all the skills from this class. And then I also mastered duelist. So I And then I also mastered duelist. So I And then I also mastered duelist. So I learned all the long sword and assault learned all the long sword and assault learned all the long sword and assault rifle arts. And then I went back to rifle arts. And then I went back to rifle arts. And then I went back to Drifter because Drifter actually has, as Drifter because Drifter actually has, as Drifter because Drifter actually has, as you can see over here, it has the you can see over here, it has the you can see over here, it has the maximum number of skill slots more than maximum number of skill slots more than maximum number of skill slots more than any of these master classes. So, any of these master classes. So, any of these master classes. So, ideally, once you're done with learning ideally, once you're done with learning ideally, once you're done with learning every single art and skill that you want every single art and skill that you want every single art and skill that you want to get, it's a good idea to go back to to get, it's a good idea to go back to to get, it's a good idea to go back to Drifter and mix and match whichever arts Drifter and mix and match whichever arts Drifter and mix and match whichever arts and weapons and skills you want because and weapons and skills you want because and weapons and skills you want because that will give you the best and most uh that will give you the best and most uh that will give you the best and most uh versatile cross or protagonist that you versatile cross or protagonist that you versatile cross or protagonist that you can ever have in this game. So, remember can ever have in this game. So, remember can ever have in this game. So, remember to do that. And on top of that, I want to do that. And on top of that, I want to do that. And on top of that, I want to remind you guys that if you guys are to remind you guys that if you guys are to remind you guys that if you guys are somewhere in your playthrough to somewhere in your playthrough to somewhere in your playthrough to remember to level up your arts and level remember to level up your arts and level remember to level up your arts and level up your skills.

But it's a good idea to read what skills But it's a good idea to read what skills But it's a good idea to read what skills you have equipped and choose the right you have equipped and choose the right you have equipped and choose the right ones for your um desired party ones for your um desired party ones for your um desired party composition and all that. So, keep that composition and all that. So, keep that composition and all that. So, keep that in mind. Okay. Okay, so the next tip I in mind. Okay. Okay, so the next tip I in mind. Okay. Okay, so the next tip I want to give you guys is about your want to give you guys is about your want to give you guys is about your affinity missions. So, I'm going to go affinity missions.

Um, it's an affinity mission that I Um, it's an affinity mission that I Um, it's an affinity mission that I didn't choose very early on, even in my didn't choose very early on, even in my didn't choose very early on, even in my Wii U playthrough. It's basically Hope's Wii U playthrough. It's basically Hope's Wii U playthrough. It's basically Hope's affinity mission. One of my favorite affinity mission. One of my favorite affinity mission. One of my favorite characters in the game. Really want to characters in the game. Really want to characters in the game. Really want to do her affinity mission. But look at do her affinity mission. But look at do her affinity mission. But look at this. Remember what you are reading at this. Remember what you are reading at this. Remember what you are reading at the bottom. You will be unable to accept the bottom. You will be unable to accept the bottom. You will be unable to accept any story missions until the affinity any story missions until the affinity any story missions until the affinity mission is complete. So basically, mission is complete. So basically, mission is complete. So basically, whenever you like accept a story mission whenever you like accept a story mission whenever you like accept a story mission or an affinity mission, you're kind of or an affinity mission, you're kind of or an affinity mission, you're kind of locked into doing that. You can do other locked into doing that. You can do other locked into doing that. You can do other frontier nav stuff. You can do whatever frontier nav stuff. You can do whatever frontier nav stuff. You can do whatever you really want to do. You're just kind you really want to do. You're just kind you really want to do. You're just kind of locked into the affinity mission and

of locked into the affinity mission and of locked into the affinity mission and you're not allowed to do any other you're not allowed to do any other you're not allowed to do any other affinity missions or story missions.

I I've reached the required all of them. I I've reached the required level, the recommended level. I've level, the recommended level. I've level, the recommended level. I've accepted the marry me basic mission. But accepted the marry me basic mission. But accepted the marry me basic mission. But look at this. The primary destination is look at this. The primary destination is look at this. The primary destination is Cauldros. I don't really feel like going Cauldros. I don't really feel like going Cauldros. I don't really feel like going to Cauldros right now. It's it's still to Cauldros right now. It's it's still to Cauldros right now. It's it's still early on. Cauldros is teeming with very early on. Cauldros is teeming with very early on. Cauldros is teeming with very powerful indigens and enemies and giant powerful indigens and enemies and giant powerful indigens and enemies and giant ganglen skells. So, I don't really feel ganglen skells. So, I don't really feel ganglen skells. So, I don't really feel like I want to go to Cauldros just yet. like I want to go to Cauldros just yet. like I want to go to Cauldros just yet. Just know what you're getting into when Just know what you're getting into when Just know what you're getting into when you choose to do an affinity mission. you choose to do an affinity mission. you choose to do an affinity mission. Make sure you see where you're going to Make sure you see where you're going to Make sure you see where you're going to be going and just check the recommended be going and just check the recommended be going and just check the recommended levels as well. Also, another thing I levels as well. Also, another thing I levels as well. Also, another thing I want to remind you guys is these want to remind you guys is these want to remind you guys is these affinity missions are not only important affinity missions are not only important affinity missions are not only important in the sense that they give you in the sense that they give you in the sense that they give you character dynamics, lore, like character dynamics, lore, like character dynamics, lore, like additional story, additional lore on additional story, additional lore on additional story, additional lore on Meera and the characters and things like Meera and the characters and things like Meera and the characters and things like that, but they give you new arts that that, but they give you new arts that that, but they give you new arts that are exclusive to those affinity are exclusive to those affinity are exclusive to those affinity missions. So, if you guys have heard of missions. So, if you guys have heard of missions. So, if you guys have heard of the Ether Blossom Dance build, you get the Ether Blossom Dance build, you get the Ether Blossom Dance build, you get that specifically through a affinity that specifically through a affinity that specifically through a affinity mission. I won't tell you whose affinity mission. I won't tell you whose affinity mission. I won't tell you whose affinity mission because I I don't want to really mission because I I don't want to really mission because I I don't want to really spoil that. It's not really a huge spoil that. It's not really a huge spoil that. It's not really a huge spoiler, but still, you should continue spoiler, but still, you should continue spoiler, but still, you should continue to do these affinity missions,

to do these affinity missions, to do these affinity missions, especially for the characters that especially for the characters that especially for the characters that correspond to the class trees that you correspond to the class trees that you correspond to the class trees that you want to go down because without doing want to go down because without doing want to go down because without doing those, you won't get those really, those, you won't get those really, those, you won't get those really, really good arts that will help you in really good arts that will help you in really good arts that will help you in the long run in the endame. So, keep the long run in the endame. So, keep the long run in the endame. So, keep that in mind as well. this game, this that in mind as well. this game, this that in mind as well. this game, this definitive version of this game, uh, definitive version of this game, uh, definitive version of this game, uh, allows you to use any character at any allows you to use any character at any allows you to use any character at any point in the story and in any Affinity point in the story and in any Affinity point in the story and in any Affinity mission. So, if I wanted to use like mission. So, if I wanted to use like mission. So, if I wanted to use like this, uh, party of Doug, HB, and Alexa this, uh, party of Doug, HB, and Alexa this, uh, party of Doug, HB, and Alexa throughout the entire game, I throughout the entire game, I throughout the entire game, I effectively could. The only quote effectively could. The only quote effectively could. The only quote unquote penalty I can like guess or unquote penalty I can like guess or unquote penalty I can like guess or think of for using the same characters think of for using the same characters think of for using the same characters throughout my entire playthrough is the throughout my entire playthrough is the throughout my entire playthrough is the other characters will not be getting other characters will not be getting other characters will not be getting affinity. like um Fog here won't be affinity. like um Fog here won't be affinity. like um Fog here won't be getting affinity. L here won't be getting affinity. L here won't be getting affinity. L here won't be getting affinity. Lynn won't be getting getting affinity. Lynn won't be getting getting affinity. Lynn won't be getting affinity. That's the reason why I don't affinity. That's the reason why I don't affinity. That's the reason why I don't have Elma on my team as much because I have Elma on my team as much because I have Elma on my team as much because I always find myself having Elma on my always find myself having Elma on my always find myself having Elma on my team way too much. She just hogs so much team way too much. She just hogs so much team way too much. She just hogs so much of the affinity and like all these other of the affinity and like all these other of the affinity and like all these other guys don't get affinity as much. And the guys don't get affinity as much. And the guys don't get affinity as much. And the reason you want to continue to gain reason you want to continue to gain reason you want to continue to gain affinity in this game is so that you can affinity in this game is so that you can affinity in this game is so that you can do these characters affinity missions.

do these characters affinity missions. do these characters affinity missions. Of course, some of the affinity missions Of course, some of the affinity missions Of course, some of the affinity missions are locked behind level and story are locked behind level and story are locked behind level and story progress and other prerequisites, but progress and other prerequisites, but progress and other prerequisites, but sometimes they're locked behind the sometimes they're locked behind the sometimes they're locked behind the characters affinity. And I'm not sure if characters affinity. And I'm not sure if characters affinity. And I'm not sure if affinity levels the same way as it does affinity levels the same way as it does affinity levels the same way as it does in the Wii U version. It would kind of in the Wii U version. It would kind of in the Wii U version. It would kind of suck if it does cuz it levels a little suck if it does cuz it levels a little suck if it does cuz it levels a little bit slow, but you should always be bit slow, but you should always be bit slow, but you should always be swapping out your characters because now swapping out your characters because now swapping out your characters because now it's so easy to do that. You can swap it's so easy to do that. You can swap it's so easy to do that. You can swap out your characters easily. And if you out your characters easily. And if you out your characters easily. And if you notice a character is low on affinity, notice a character is low on affinity, notice a character is low on affinity, bring them into your party so they can bring them into your party so they can bring them into your party so they can level up with the other characters. And level up with the other characters. And level up with the other characters. And what's great is your characters now what's great is your characters now what's great is your characters now level up together. So it's a good idea level up together. So it's a good idea level up together. So it's a good idea to generally get as many party members to generally get as many party members to generally get as many party members as you can early on in the game. So as you can early on in the game. So as you can early on in the game. So hypothetically, they may not be like hypothetically, they may not be like hypothetically, they may not be like lagging behind on levels. I don't know lagging behind on levels. I don't know lagging behind on levels. I don't know if they will join you and match the if they will join you and match the if they will join you and match the level of your protagonist, but if that level of your protagonist, but if that level of your protagonist, but if that is the case, then that's cool. But try is the case, then that's cool. But try is the case, then that's cool. But try to get as many people as you can. Of to get as many people as you can. Of to get as many people as you can. Of course, be mindful of where their course, be mindful of where their course, be mindful of where their affinity mission is going to send you affinity mission is going to send you affinity mission is going to send you and what you're going to be doing. Try and what you're going to be doing. Try and what you're going to be doing. Try to get as much affinity as you can on to get as much affinity as you can on to get as much affinity as you can on everyone so you can do all their quests.

everyone so you can do all their quests. everyone so you can do all their quests. Okay, so the next thing I want to talk Okay, so the next thing I want to talk Okay, so the next thing I want to talk about is the arms manufacturers and the about is the arms manufacturers and the about is the arms manufacturers and the AMs. So, let's go to Armory Alley over AMs. So, let's go to Armory Alley over AMs. So, let's go to Armory Alley over here. here. here. So, where you're going to be So, where you're going to be So, where you're going to be um always uh coming to buy new gear and um always uh coming to buy new gear and um always uh coming to buy new gear and all that stuff. So, of course, you know, all that stuff. So, of course, you know, all that stuff. So, of course, you know, the shop terminal, but next to the shop the shop terminal, but next to the shop the shop terminal, but next to the shop terminal is the arms manufacturer terminal is the arms manufacturer terminal is the arms manufacturer terminal or the AM's terminal. So, you terminal or the AM's terminal. So, you terminal or the AM's terminal. So, you can manage AM's. I only have three so can manage AM's. I only have three so can manage AM's. I only have three so far. The more quests you do, the more uh far. The more quests you do, the more uh far. The more quests you do, the more uh xenoiforms you find and bring to New LA, xenoiforms you find and bring to New LA, xenoiforms you find and bring to New LA, the more arms manufacturers will show up the more arms manufacturers will show up the more arms manufacturers will show up here. But right now, I have Sakuraba, here. But right now, I have Sakuraba, here. But right now, I have Sakuraba, Granada, and Meredith. What you can do Granada, and Meredith. What you can do Granada, and Meredith. What you can do is you will gain a lot of maranium. Uh is you will gain a lot of maranium. Uh is you will gain a lot of maranium. Uh right now I think I have zero maranium right now I think I have zero maranium right now I think I have zero maranium because I used it all and dumped it all because I used it all and dumped it all because I used it all and dumped it all into the AM's. But usually what you want into the AM's. But usually what you want into the AM's. But usually what you want to do is you want to go in and max out to do is you want to go in and max out to do is you want to go in and max out these levels as soon as possible because these levels as soon as possible because these levels as soon as possible because what it's going to do is it's going to what it's going to do is it's going to what it's going to do is it's going to give you new gear that will be available give you new gear that will be available give you new gear that will be available in the shop terminal. And the only way in the shop terminal. And the only way in the shop terminal. And the only way some of these will show up is by some of these will show up is by some of these will show up is by investing in those arms manufacturers.

investing in those arms manufacturers. investing in those arms manufacturers. Like as you can see over Like as you can see over Like as you can see over here, this is Granada GG. This is here, this is Granada GG. This is here, this is Granada GG. This is Meredith and Co. This is Sakuraba Meredith and Co. This is Sakuraba Meredith and Co. This is Sakuraba Industries. Sakura Industries. Granada Industries. Sakura Industries. Granada Industries. Sakura Industries. Granada GG. So a lot of these are very high GG. So a lot of these are very high GG. So a lot of these are very high level, but it's because I invested in level, but it's because I invested in level, but it's because I invested in those arms manufacturers that I'm those arms manufacturers that I'm those arms manufacturers that I'm getting these in the shop. And one more getting these in the shop. And one more getting these in the shop. And one more thing is you can see like a lot of these thing is you can see like a lot of these thing is you can see like a lot of these are locked out. I have the cash to buy are locked out. I have the cash to buy are locked out. I have the cash to buy them. I could honestly buy them if I them. I could honestly buy them if I them. I could honestly buy them if I wanted to, but I still cannot. But the wanted to, but I still cannot. But the wanted to, but I still cannot. But the reason is is as you can see over here, reason is is as you can see over here, reason is is as you can see over here, it's a level 55 it's a level 55 it's a level 55 um gear. So, I'm only level 21. So, I'm um gear. So, I'm only level 21. So, I'm um gear. So, I'm only level 21. So, I'm locked out of that gear, unfortunately. locked out of that gear, unfortunately. locked out of that gear, unfortunately. So, I can't get any of these because I'm So, I can't get any of these because I'm So, I can't get any of these because I'm still too lowle. But, if you go over still too lowle. But, if you go over still too lowle. But, if you go over here, see this is level 15. Level 15. here, see this is level 15. Level 15. here, see this is level 15. Level 15. Level 15. I can get all these because I Level 15. I can get all these because I Level 15. I can get all these because I have passed level 15. So, ideally what I have passed level 15. So, ideally what I have passed level 15. So, ideally what I should do, I should look into getting to should do, I should look into getting to should do, I should look into getting to level 25 so I can get some better gear level 25 so I can get some better gear level 25 so I can get some better gear because that's the next kind of uh because that's the next kind of uh because that's the next kind of uh threshold for better gear. See, look at threshold for better gear. See, look at threshold for better gear. See, look at these. So, I think this is a good uh these. So, I think this is a good uh these. So, I think this is a good uh transition point to talking about gear transition point to talking about gear transition point to talking about gear and how it works very differently. Um, a and how it works very differently. Um, a and how it works very differently. Um, a lot of people uh in some of their other lot of people uh in some of their other lot of people uh in some of their other guides have said how defense is not guides have said how defense is not guides have said how defense is not really that important of a stat or it's really that important of a stat or it's really that important of a stat or it's not very good of a stat. Um, I don't not very good of a stat. Um, I don't not very good of a stat. Um, I don't really want to explain that. I think really want to explain that. I think really want to explain that. I think other people have explained that a lot other people have explained that a lot other people have explained that a lot better in their other guides. So, the better in their other guides. So, the better in their other guides. So, the thing that I look for when it comes to thing that I look for when it comes to thing that I look for when it comes to gear is these additional effects. So, gear is these additional effects. So, gear is these additional effects. So, potential up three is pretty good.

potential up three is pretty good. potential up three is pretty good. Potential is a pretty good stat. And Potential is a pretty good stat. And Potential is a pretty good stat. And this over here means that I can add an this over here means that I can add an this over here means that I can add an augment to it. So, I'll show you what an augment to it. So, I'll show you what an augment to it. So, I'll show you what an augment is real quick because I do have augment is real quick because I do have augment is real quick because I do have some augment set on this piece of gear some augment set on this piece of gear some augment set on this piece of gear that I have for my main character. that I have for my main character. that I have for my main character. Ground gear. Go over here. Yeah. See, I Ground gear. Go over here. Yeah. See, I Ground gear. Go over here. Yeah. See, I have an augment for max TP up 10. So, have an augment for max TP up 10. So, have an augment for max TP up 10. So, that gives me a lot more max TP. And that gives me a lot more max TP. And that gives me a lot more max TP. And over here, I have max TP up five. So, over here, I have max TP up five. So, over here, I have max TP up five. So, that gives me even more TP. But those that gives me even more TP. But those that gives me even more TP. But those are additional augments that I are additional augments that I are additional augments that I engineered at the arms manufacturer. engineered at the arms manufacturer. engineered at the arms manufacturer. Over here, I forgot to mention that. Over here, I forgot to mention that. Over here, I forgot to mention that. Here, you can engineer augments based Here, you can engineer augments based Here, you can engineer augments based off of what you want to create. You can off of what you want to create. You can off of what you want to create. You can track the navigation in the panel so you track the navigation in the panel so you track the navigation in the panel so you can get all the necessary equipment. But can get all the necessary equipment. But can get all the necessary equipment. But basically, these are sort of like your basically, these are sort of like your basically, these are sort of like your Xenolade one gems that you can add to Xenolade one gems that you can add to Xenolade one gems that you can add to your equipment to make you a little your equipment to make you a little your equipment to make you a little stronger. But let's go back over here. stronger. But let's go back over here. stronger. But let's go back over here. Let's go back to protective war. Uh Let's go back to protective war. Uh Let's go back to protective war. Uh let's go back to some of these highle let's go back to some of these highle let's go back to some of these highle ones. Yeah. So, the most important thing ones. Yeah. So, the most important thing ones. Yeah. So, the most important thing to look for in your gear slots is maybe to look for in your gear slots is maybe to look for in your gear slots is maybe not necessarily your defense, but it not necessarily your defense, but it not necessarily your defense, but it will be these additional effects. If you will be these additional effects. If you will be these additional effects. If you get stacked additional effects, uh get stacked additional effects, uh get stacked additional effects, uh sometimes, yeah, you don't see it here.

sometimes, yeah, you don't see it here. sometimes, yeah, you don't see it here. Maybe in the torso. Let's see. No. Yeah, Maybe in the torso. Let's see. No. Yeah, Maybe in the torso. Let's see. No. Yeah, some of the higher level equipment you some of the higher level equipment you some of the higher level equipment you might get, it might have more than one might get, it might have more than one might get, it might have more than one um additional effect and it'll have um um additional effect and it'll have um um additional effect and it'll have um an augment slot to boot as well. Uh, so an augment slot to boot as well. Uh, so an augment slot to boot as well. Uh, so another thing you want to pay attention another thing you want to pay attention another thing you want to pay attention to is your resistances. So, uh, if to is your resistances. So, uh, if to is your resistances. So, uh, if defense isn't really that important of a defense isn't really that important of a defense isn't really that important of a stat, resistances are very important. stat, resistances are very important. stat, resistances are very important. So, you can see over here, this gives So, you can see over here, this gives So, you can see over here, this gives me, uh, 10 plus beam resistance, ether me, uh, 10 plus beam resistance, ether me, uh, 10 plus beam resistance, ether resistance. That's pretty good. It resistance. That's pretty good. It resistance. That's pretty good. It lowers the physical resistance a bit. lowers the physical resistance a bit. lowers the physical resistance a bit. But um with the additional effects, the But um with the additional effects, the But um with the additional effects, the base um resistances as well as your base um resistances as well as your base um resistances as well as your augments, you can cover all of your augments, you can cover all of your augments, you can cover all of your weaknesses and affinities and weaknesses and affinities and weaknesses and affinities and resistances and all that stuff. So make resistances and all that stuff. So make resistances and all that stuff. So make sure to look out for the additional sure to look out for the additional sure to look out for the additional effects, the resistances, and choose the effects, the resistances, and choose the effects, the resistances, and choose the best augments for your desired build for best augments for your desired build for best augments for your desired build for your cross. And yeah, just don't don't your cross. And yeah, just don't don't your cross. And yeah, just don't don't pay attention much to the defense. So in pay attention much to the defense. So in pay attention much to the defense. So in this game, you can craft new gear, you this game, you can craft new gear, you this game, you can craft new gear, you can craft weapons, protective wear, can craft weapons, protective wear, can craft weapons, protective wear, which is gears, you can craft scale which is gears, you can craft scale which is gears, you can craft scale weapons and scale frames, which is weapons and scale frames, which is weapons and scale frames, which is pretty insane. And you can also um craft pretty insane. And you can also um craft pretty insane. And you can also um craft different augments. So, for example, if different augments. So, for example, if different augments. So, for example, if I want to get like something like this I want to get like something like this I want to get like something like this or this super civ attire, if I want to or this super civ attire, if I want to or this super civ attire, if I want to get this, I don't have the necessary get this, I don't have the necessary get this, I don't have the necessary materials for it. But this is new to the materials for it. But this is new to the materials for it. But this is new to the definitive edition. If I press Y, it

definitive edition. If I press Y, it definitive edition. If I press Y, it says track in navigation panel. So, I says track in navigation panel. So, I says track in navigation panel. So, I can basically track all this can basically track all this can basically track all this material. And now, see my fall is taking material. And now, see my fall is taking material. And now, see my fall is taking me to that direction. See, look. If I go me to that direction. See, look. If I go me to that direction. See, look. If I go to this tab, this purple tab, I am to this tab, this purple tab, I am to this tab, this purple tab, I am tracking all the material necessary to tracking all the material necessary to tracking all the material necessary to craft the super civilization attire. So, craft the super civilization attire. So, craft the super civilization attire. So, let's go to the map and let's get out of let's go to the map and let's get out of let's go to the map and let's get out of New Los Angeles and let's see if it New Los Angeles and let's see if it New Los Angeles and let's see if it shows it on shows it on shows it on my my my map. Ah, yeah. Here you can see these map. Ah, yeah. Here you can see these map. Ah, yeah. Here you can see these are where um a lot of the craftable are where um a lot of the craftable are where um a lot of the craftable items are. Whether there are enemies items are. Whether there are enemies items are. Whether there are enemies that'll drop the items or if they're that'll drop the items or if they're that'll drop the items or if they're item orbs that'll drop the item orbs that'll drop the item orbs that'll drop the item. We shall see. But that's super item. We shall see. But that's super item. We shall see. But that's super super incredibly convenient. That is super incredibly convenient. That is super incredibly convenient. That is something that was unavailable and just something that was unavailable and just something that was unavailable and just not there in the original version of the not there in the original version of the not there in the original version of the game. So, you had to rely on guides and game. So, you had to rely on guides and game. So, you had to rely on guides and all that other stuff, which was very all that other stuff, which was very all that other stuff, which was very annoying. Yeah, I just got ambushed by annoying. Yeah, I just got ambushed by annoying. Yeah, I just got ambushed by this guy. Oh, wow. Look at that. Turns this guy. Oh, wow. Look at that. Turns this guy. Oh, wow. Look at that. Turns out he has one of the items that I need.

out he has one of the items that I need. out he has one of the items that I need. So, yeah, Barnabas the despate. See, he So, yeah, Barnabas the despate. See, he So, yeah, Barnabas the despate. See, he has that purple feather next to him. So, has that purple feather next to him. So, has that purple feather next to him. So, that's telling me that one of his item that's telling me that one of his item that's telling me that one of his item drops will probably give me what I want. drops will probably give me what I want. drops will probably give me what I want. And yeah, I don't really want to do And yeah, I don't really want to do And yeah, I don't really want to do that. Super high level. And that was that. Super high level. And that was that. Super high level. And that was just an example because I don't really just an example because I don't really just an example because I don't really want to craft that specific piece of want to craft that specific piece of want to craft that specific piece of gear. And you can go back over here, see gear. And you can go back over here, see gear. And you can go back over here, see exactly which thing you wanted, and you exactly which thing you wanted, and you exactly which thing you wanted, and you can cancel the tracking. You can do that can cancel the tracking. You can do that can cancel the tracking. You can do that for any one of these things over here. for any one of these things over here. for any one of these things over here. Okay, for this next tip, I wanted to get Okay, for this next tip, I wanted to get Okay, for this next tip, I wanted to get into combat to kind of give you guys an into combat to kind of give you guys an into combat to kind of give you guys an idea of um what I wanted to talk about. idea of um what I wanted to talk about. idea of um what I wanted to talk about. But basically, uh, remember to always, But basically, uh, remember to always, But basically, uh, remember to always, uh, prioritize TP because TP allows you uh, prioritize TP because TP allows you uh, prioritize TP because TP allows you to do a lot of really important things to do a lot of really important things to do a lot of really important things such as reviving your party members and such as reviving your party members and such as reviving your party members and later activating overdrive, but also later activating overdrive, but also later activating overdrive, but also another thing that TP does is it allows another thing that TP does is it allows another thing that TP does is it allows you to use certain TP arts. Like, I'm you to use certain TP arts. Like, I'm you to use certain TP arts. Like, I'm going to get into combat one more time going to get into combat one more time going to get into combat one more time just to show you guys. As you can see, just to show you guys. As you can see, just to show you guys. As you can see, 1,140 TP. And I have this art over here, 1,140 TP. And I have this art over here, 1,140 TP. And I have this art over here, recuperate, which is a TP art, which recuperate, which is a TP art, which recuperate, which is a TP art, which will use 1,000 of my TP to use it. These will use 1,000 of my TP to use it. These will use 1,000 of my TP to use it. These I these arts are usually very good, and I these arts are usually very good, and I these arts are usually very good, and you can't use them until you regain all you can't use them until you regain all you can't use them until you regain all that TP. And to gain TP, you just like

that TP. And to gain TP, you just like that TP. And to gain TP, you just like continue to auto attack. You help your continue to auto attack. You help your continue to auto attack. You help your party members out in with soul voices. party members out in with soul voices. party members out in with soul voices. you just generally perform well in you just generally perform well in you just generally perform well in combat. But another thing is, if you combat. But another thing is, if you combat. But another thing is, if you guys remember in my gear slot over here, guys remember in my gear slot over here, guys remember in my gear slot over here, I have two augments that give me max TP I have two augments that give me max TP I have two augments that give me max TP up. So, your base TP is 3,000, I think. up. So, your base TP is 3,000, I think. up. So, your base TP is 3,000, I think. Let's go to like uh Doug, who doesn't Let's go to like uh Doug, who doesn't Let's go to like uh Doug, who doesn't have any additional augments set on him. have any additional augments set on him. have any additional augments set on him. no TP up on any of his additional no TP up on any of his additional no TP up on any of his additional effects or any of his augments. And he effects or any of his augments. And he effects or any of his augments. And he has a max TP of 3,000. But when you has a max TP of 3,000. But when you has a max TP of 3,000. But when you increase your TP by a lot, that means increase your TP by a lot, that means increase your TP by a lot, that means you can revive people more often in you can revive people more often in you can revive people more often in battle. You can use more TP arts in battle. You can use more TP arts in battle. You can use more TP arts in battle, and you can do more cool things battle, and you can do more cool things battle, and you can do more cool things with overdrive, which is a little more with overdrive, which is a little more with overdrive, which is a little more advanced. So remember to prioritize your advanced. So remember to prioritize your advanced. So remember to prioritize your TP. Prioritize way to regain your TP.

TP. Prioritize way to regain your TP. TP. Prioritize way to regain your TP. There are some arts such as like buff There are some arts such as like buff There are some arts such as like buff arts which will um boost your TP like arts which will um boost your TP like arts which will um boost your TP like Elma has the art which is blood Elma has the art which is blood Elma has the art which is blood sacrifice that will give you more TP if sacrifice that will give you more TP if sacrifice that will give you more TP if you are a full metal jaguar uh adjacent you are a full metal jaguar uh adjacent you are a full metal jaguar uh adjacent class or if you have Elma on your party. class or if you have Elma on your party. class or if you have Elma on your party. Okay, for my next tip I want to give you Okay, for my next tip I want to give you Okay, for my next tip I want to give you guys some general Frontier Nav tips and guys some general Frontier Nav tips and guys some general Frontier Nav tips and advice. What's really nice now in the advice. What's really nice now in the advice. What's really nice now in the definitive edition is if you want to definitive edition is if you want to definitive edition is if you want to highlight uh some of these nodes, you highlight uh some of these nodes, you highlight uh some of these nodes, you can. And on the mini map, it will sort can. And on the mini map, it will sort can. And on the mini map, it will sort of tell you when you're in that area. of tell you when you're in that area. of tell you when you're in that area. So, right now, it is showing me I am in So, right now, it is showing me I am in So, right now, it is showing me I am in a Frontier Nav Hex. Probably in relation a Frontier Nav Hex. Probably in relation a Frontier Nav Hex. Probably in relation to uh this normal mission data miner. to uh this normal mission data miner. to uh this normal mission data miner. So, I think it's in relation to this So, I think it's in relation to this So, I think it's in relation to this guy. Let's see. guy. Let's see. guy. Let's see. Yeah, this gives you all the additional Yeah, this gives you all the additional Yeah, this gives you all the additional information on the side which is very information on the side which is very information on the side which is very helpful. So yeah, the client is Giorgio. helpful. So yeah, the client is Giorgio. helpful. So yeah, the client is Giorgio. He's right here. Can help him out and He's right here. Can help him out and He's right here. Can help him out and clear that node. But clear that node. But clear that node. But southwest I have highlighted this southwest I have highlighted this southwest I have highlighted this tyrant. So I desa the subterranean is tyrant. So I desa the subterranean is tyrant. So I desa the subterranean is somewhere down there. So I can see somewhere down there. So I can see somewhere down there. So I can see exactly when this hex ends and that exactly when this hex ends and that exactly when this hex ends and that other hex starts. And within that hex, I other hex starts. And within that hex, I other hex starts. And within that hex, I will have to find that tyrant somewhere will have to find that tyrant somewhere will have to find that tyrant somewhere in there. So that's very helpful. So in there. So that's very helpful. So in there. So that's very helpful. So that's just within the segment section.

that's just within the segment section. that's just within the segment section. The map section is also very helpful The map section is also very helpful The map section is also very helpful because it will tell you exactly where because it will tell you exactly where because it will tell you exactly where all the quests are. So it'll give you a all the quests are. So it'll give you a all the quests are. So it'll give you a good idea of where some of the quests good idea of where some of the quests good idea of where some of the quests that you have not yet uh accepted could that you have not yet uh accepted could that you have not yet uh accepted could be. It'll show you where hearttohe be. It'll show you where hearttohe be. It'll show you where hearttohe hearts are. So another thing I can do hearts are. So another thing I can do hearts are. So another thing I can do from the Frontier Nav menu is track from the Frontier Nav menu is track from the Frontier Nav menu is track quests very easily. So, I just accepted quests very easily. So, I just accepted quests very easily. So, I just accepted Giorgio's quest. So, I can go to Giorgio's quest. So, I can go to Giorgio's quest. So, I can go to missions. I can go over here and press Y missions. I can go over here and press Y missions. I can go over here and press Y to track this to track this to track this quest. As you can see here, just like quest. As you can see here, just like quest. As you can see here, just like how we track the how we track the how we track the materials, you can track this normal materials, you can track this normal materials, you can track this normal mission. Initiate the fall ball and it mission. Initiate the fall ball and it mission. Initiate the fall ball and it will tell us exactly where to go. But will tell us exactly where to go. But will tell us exactly where to go. But not only that, if you hit Y and go to not only that, if you hit Y and go to not only that, if you hit Y and go to just the map on the left side, it will just the map on the left side, it will just the map on the left side, it will tell you exactly where this location is. tell you exactly where this location is. tell you exactly where this location is. So, for example, I'm over here. Like, if So, for example, I'm over here. Like, if So, for example, I'm over here. Like, if I'm like all the way over here, I can I'm like all the way over here, I can I'm like all the way over here, I can fast travel to a much fast travel to a much fast travel to a much easier to access location, which is a easier to access location, which is a easier to access location, which is a lot closer to my desired destination.

lot closer to my desired destination. lot closer to my desired destination. And this makes quest tracking so much And this makes quest tracking so much And this makes quest tracking so much easier because in the original version, easier because in the original version, easier because in the original version, you couldn't even like see half of the you couldn't even like see half of the you couldn't even like see half of the stuff in the menu. And oh my gosh, I am stuff in the menu. And oh my gosh, I am stuff in the menu. And oh my gosh, I am being ambushed. And situations like being ambushed. And situations like being ambushed. And situations like this, just follow the follow ball. In this, just follow the follow ball. In this, just follow the follow ball. In the original Xenolade Chronicles X, it the original Xenolade Chronicles X, it the original Xenolade Chronicles X, it was very, very hard to track a lot of was very, very hard to track a lot of was very, very hard to track a lot of quests. Often times, it wouldn't show quests. Often times, it wouldn't show quests. Often times, it wouldn't show you exactly where to go. So, here I am you exactly where to go. So, here I am you exactly where to go. So, here I am getting this treasure. getting this treasure. getting this treasure. And let's see. Okay. No, I pressed the And let's see. Okay. No, I pressed the And let's see. Okay. No, I pressed the wrong button. And talk to wrong button. And talk to wrong button. And talk to Giorgio. So, can see he's back here now. Giorgio. So, can see he's back here now. Giorgio. So, can see he's back here now. So, So, So, maybe he's actually not where he maybe he's actually not where he maybe he's actually not where he originally was, looks like. So, maybe I originally was, looks like. So, maybe I originally was, looks like. So, maybe I can fast travel over can fast travel over can fast travel over here. Hopefully that gives me a sure here. Hopefully that gives me a sure here. Hopefully that gives me a sure shot way to get back to him. Okay. Um, shot way to get back to him. Okay. Um, shot way to get back to him. Okay. Um, now that we've talked about the map now that we've talked about the map now that we've talked about the map portion and the segments portion, I want portion and the segments portion, I want portion and the segments portion, I want to talk about the Frontier Nav portion, to talk about the Frontier Nav portion, to talk about the Frontier Nav portion, what do all these like little probes what do all these like little probes what do all these like little probes mean? So, whenever you get onto an FN mean? So, whenever you get onto an FN mean? So, whenever you get onto an FN site, those uh Frontier Nav probes, site, those uh Frontier Nav probes, site, those uh Frontier Nav probes, you'll install a basic probe. You'll you'll install a basic probe. You'll you'll install a basic probe. You'll usually have just a normal basic probe usually have just a normal basic probe usually have just a normal basic probe installed because you as you can see on installed because you as you can see on installed because you as you can see on the bottom I have my mining revenue, the bottom I have my mining revenue, the bottom I have my mining revenue, revenue total, storage limit. And when I revenue total, storage limit. And when I revenue total, storage limit. And when I go over here, I can look at this and go over here, I can look at this and go over here, I can look at this and yeah, it says basic probe over here.

yeah, it says basic probe over here. yeah, it says basic probe over here. Basic probe over here. All these are Basic probe over here. All these are Basic probe over here. All these are just normal basic probes. What I can do just normal basic probes. What I can do just normal basic probes. What I can do is with by selecting it, I can swap the is with by selecting it, I can swap the is with by selecting it, I can swap the data probe into anything that I already data probe into anything that I already data probe into anything that I already have. So, let's look at this over here. have. So, let's look at this over here. have. So, let's look at this over here. I have a chain of one, two, three, four I have a chain of one, two, three, four I have a chain of one, two, three, four of these mining probe G1s. And what you of these mining probe G1s. And what you of these mining probe G1s. And what you can do is if you can chain three of can do is if you can chain three of can do is if you can chain three of them, you will get a revenue boost. But them, you will get a revenue boost. But them, you will get a revenue boost. But if you can chain five of them, you can if you can chain five of them, you can if you can chain five of them, you can get an even more of a boost. So, let's get an even more of a boost. So, let's get an even more of a boost. So, let's see. See if I get a see. See if I get a see. See if I get a boost. Takes a little while to five boost. Takes a little while to five boost. Takes a little while to five chain effects 50%. So, I think when you chain effects 50%. So, I think when you chain effects 50%. So, I think when you do um three, you get a boost. When you do um three, you get a boost. When you do um three, you get a boost. When you do five, you get another boost. And when do five, you get another boost. And when do five, you get another boost. And when you do like eight, I think you get you do like eight, I think you get you do like eight, I think you get another one. Let's see how many I can another one. Let's see how many I can another one. Let's see how many I can chain together. It does cost a little chain together. It does cost a little chain together. It does cost a little bit. Ah, eight chain 80%. So, what this bit. Ah, eight chain 80%. So, what this bit. Ah, eight chain 80%. So, what this is going to do is this is going to net is going to do is this is going to net is going to do is this is going to net me more. Let's see. Let's see the me more. Let's see. Let's see the me more. Let's see. Let's see the description over here. 100% production description over here. 100% production description over here. 100% production quality, revenue ability 30%, mines quality, revenue ability 30%, mines quality, revenue ability 30%, mines precious resources, and uranium. So this precious resources, and uranium. So this precious resources, and uranium. So this is going to give me a lot more uranium.

is going to give me a lot more uranium. is going to give me a lot more uranium. The amount mine depends on both the The amount mine depends on both the The amount mine depends on both the grade of the probe and the output of the grade of the probe and the output of the grade of the probe and the output of the frontier nav probe site. There is a lot frontier nav probe site. There is a lot frontier nav probe site. There is a lot of strategy involved in the placement of of strategy involved in the placement of of strategy involved in the placement of your probes and how you set them up and your probes and how you set them up and your probes and how you set them up and everything. And there's some guides on everything. And there's some guides on everything. And there's some guides on how to do that in the base game and I how to do that in the base game and I how to do that in the base game and I don't really remember how that's done. don't really remember how that's done. don't really remember how that's done. So I will let other people probably So I will let other people probably So I will let other people probably describe that more. But I just want to describe that more. But I just want to describe that more. But I just want to let you guys know, do not forget to do let you guys know, do not forget to do let you guys know, do not forget to do all this because if you do this, if you all this because if you do this, if you all this because if you do this, if you set this up in even a very basic way, set this up in even a very basic way, set this up in even a very basic way, you're going to be swimming in cash. you're going to be swimming in cash. you're going to be swimming in cash. When I mean swimming in cash, see like When I mean swimming in cash, see like When I mean swimming in cash, see like when you uh just explore and do stuff, when you uh just explore and do stuff, when you uh just explore and do stuff, at the bottom left of the screen, you at the bottom left of the screen, you at the bottom left of the screen, you might just see like uh like 10,000 might just see like uh like 10,000 might just see like uh like 10,000 credits and 10,000 uranium. And you're credits and 10,000 uranium. And you're credits and 10,000 uranium. And you're never ever going to be low on any of never ever going to be low on any of never ever going to be low on any of your your your like currency. Like look at this. I have like currency. Like look at this. I have like currency. Like look at this. I have like a 1.2 million credits. I have 6,000 like a 1.2 million credits. I have 6,000 like a 1.2 million credits. I have 6,000 bananium. And with the extra storage bananium. And with the extra storage bananium. And with the extra storage probes I've installed, I'm going to get probes I've installed, I'm going to get probes I've installed, I'm going to get even more. So this is your main way to even more. So this is your main way to even more. So this is your main way to make money in this game. Uh, of course make money in this game. Uh, of course make money in this game. Uh, of course you can do it via doing quests and story you can do it via doing quests and story you can do it via doing quests and story missions and all that stuff, selling missions and all that stuff, selling missions and all that stuff, selling your equipment, but honestly, you don't your equipment, but honestly, you don't your equipment, but honestly, you don't need to do that to grind money in this need to do that to grind money in this need to do that to grind money in this game at all. You can just go on Y, go to

game at all. You can just go on Y, go to game at all. You can just go on Y, go to Frontier Nav, set up all your probes, Frontier Nav, set up all your probes, Frontier Nav, set up all your probes, and remember to chain them in the right and remember to chain them in the right and remember to chain them in the right way. So, like I have a few of these over way. So, like I have a few of these over way. So, like I have a few of these over here. Let's try to I don't know. You You here. Let's try to I don't know. You You here. Let's try to I don't know. You You can just experiment and see like what can just experiment and see like what can just experiment and see like what any of this does. So, that will probably any of this does. So, that will probably any of this does. So, that will probably net me more, but less uh credits. So, net me more, but less uh credits. So, net me more, but less uh credits. So, it's just a little bit of a trade-off it's just a little bit of a trade-off it's just a little bit of a trade-off there. But just experimenting with this there. But just experimenting with this there. But just experimenting with this will net you so much cash, so much will net you so much cash, so much will net you so much cash, so much stuff. You will literally be swimming in stuff. You will literally be swimming in stuff. You will literally be swimming in money and credits and eranium. And yeah, money and credits and eranium. And yeah, money and credits and eranium. And yeah, just remember to do that because a lot just remember to do that because a lot just remember to do that because a lot of people forget to do that and then of people forget to do that and then of people forget to do that and then you're just low on cash when you never you're just low on cash when you never you're just low on cash when you never really should be in this game. should really should be in this game. should really should be in this game. should never be low on cash in this game. If never be low on cash in this game. If never be low on cash in this game. If you are low on cash, then you are you are low on cash, then you are you are low on cash, then you are probably either doing something wrong or probably either doing something wrong or probably either doing something wrong or you're just ignoring this part of the you're just ignoring this part of the you're just ignoring this part of the menu altogether. So, don't forget this. menu altogether. So, don't forget this. menu altogether. So, don't forget this. Okay, for this next tip, I'm going to Okay, for this next tip, I'm going to Okay, for this next tip, I'm going to try to overlay some footage of the Wii U try to overlay some footage of the Wii U try to overlay some footage of the Wii U version uh because it's primarily about version uh because it's primarily about version uh because it's primarily about skills. I haven't even gotten my skill skills. I haven't even gotten my skill skills. I haven't even gotten my skill at the time of this recording, but I've at the time of this recording, but I've at the time of this recording, but I've confirmed with some other people that confirmed with some other people that confirmed with some other people that this mechanic still remains and it's this mechanic still remains and it's this mechanic still remains and it's going to be the same as it was in the going to be the same as it was in the going to be the same as it was in the Wii U version. So, so now I want to talk Wii U version. So, so now I want to talk Wii U version. So, so now I want to talk about skull insurance. So, skull about skull insurance. So, skull about skull insurance. So, skull insurance is very interesting.

insurance is very interesting. insurance is very interesting. Basically, your skill has its own like Basically, your skill has its own like Basically, your skill has its own like little health bar. And if your health little health bar. And if your health little health bar. And if your health bar goes down, if you're in the middle bar goes down, if you're in the middle bar goes down, if you're in the middle of a fight, if a large enemy or any kind of a fight, if a large enemy or any kind of a fight, if a large enemy or any kind of enemy just destroys your skill, of enemy just destroys your skill, of enemy just destroys your skill, what's going to happen is you're going what's going to happen is you're going what's going to happen is you're going to get a B button prompt. You're going to get a B button prompt. You're going to get a B button prompt. You're going to get a button prompt which shows B. to get a button prompt which shows B. to get a button prompt which shows B. And what will happen is if you hit that And what will happen is if you hit that And what will happen is if you hit that button prompt and if you get a perfect, button prompt and if you get a perfect, button prompt and if you get a perfect, then your scale will be fine. But this then your scale will be fine. But this then your scale will be fine. But this is all reliant on your skill insurance is all reliant on your skill insurance is all reliant on your skill insurance and how many insurance tickets you have. and how many insurance tickets you have. and how many insurance tickets you have. So for any normal skill, be it like a So for any normal skill, be it like a So for any normal skill, be it like a level 30 scale or whatever you have, level 30 scale or whatever you have, level 30 scale or whatever you have, depending on what frame you have, you depending on what frame you have, you depending on what frame you have, you will usually 90% of the time I think you will usually 90% of the time I think you will usually 90% of the time I think you will usually have three insurance will usually have three insurance will usually have three insurance tickets. And back to what I was saying tickets. And back to what I was saying tickets. And back to what I was saying about the B button prompts. So, whenever about the B button prompts. So, whenever about the B button prompts. So, whenever your skull runs out of energy, whenever your skull runs out of energy, whenever your skull runs out of energy, whenever you die in combat, you will get that B you die in combat, you will get that B you die in combat, you will get that B button prompt. If you hit it perfectly, button prompt. If you hit it perfectly, button prompt. If you hit it perfectly, your scale will still be okay, and you your scale will still be okay, and you your scale will still be okay, and you will not have had to use up any of your will not have had to use up any of your will not have had to use up any of your insurance tickets. So, if you hit it insurance tickets. So, if you hit it insurance tickets. So, if you hit it perfectly, you're 100% fine. Your perfectly, you're 100% fine. Your perfectly, you're 100% fine. Your insurance tickets will not be used. If insurance tickets will not be used. If insurance tickets will not be used. If you by any chance hit a good or a fail, you by any chance hit a good or a fail, you by any chance hit a good or a fail, then you will use up an insurance then you will use up an insurance then you will use up an insurance ticket. So whenever you go back to the ticket. So whenever you go back to the ticket. So whenever you go back to the blade barracks and you go back to the

blade barracks and you go back to the blade barracks and you go back to the hanger, you will get your scale back hanger, you will get your scale back hanger, you will get your scale back regardless of what will happen, but you regardless of what will happen, but you regardless of what will happen, but you will have used up a insurance ticket will have used up a insurance ticket will have used up a insurance ticket because you didn't hit the B prompt because you didn't hit the B prompt because you didn't hit the B prompt correctly. So remember, hitting the B correctly. So remember, hitting the B correctly. So remember, hitting the B prompt correctly means that you will not prompt correctly means that you will not prompt correctly means that you will not use up a skeleton insurance ticket, but use up a skeleton insurance ticket, but use up a skeleton insurance ticket, but you will like automatically get your you will like automatically get your you will like automatically get your skill back whenever you go back to the skill back whenever you go back to the skill back whenever you go back to the hanger. But if you miss the B button hanger. But if you miss the B button hanger. But if you miss the B button prompt, either you fail it or you don't prompt, either you fail it or you don't prompt, either you fail it or you don't get a perfect, you will use up one of get a perfect, you will use up one of get a perfect, you will use up one of your three insurance tickets. So, you your three insurance tickets. So, you your three insurance tickets. So, you might be wondering, what if might be wondering, what if might be wondering, what if hypothetically you use up all three of hypothetically you use up all three of hypothetically you use up all three of your insurance tickets and then you lose your insurance tickets and then you lose your insurance tickets and then you lose your skill in combat? Even if you do a your skill in combat? Even if you do a your skill in combat? Even if you do a perfect button prompt or whatever, if perfect button prompt or whatever, if perfect button prompt or whatever, if you lose your skill in combat, having you lose your skill in combat, having you lose your skill in combat, having lost all of your insurance tickets, you lost all of your insurance tickets, you lost all of your insurance tickets, you will effectively lose your skill, you will effectively lose your skill, you will effectively lose your skill, you have to go back to the hanger and you'll have to go back to the hanger and you'll have to go back to the hanger and you'll have to pay an exorbitant fee to get it have to pay an exorbitant fee to get it have to pay an exorbitant fee to get it back. Of course, you can if if you have back. Of course, you can if if you have back. Of course, you can if if you have the cash because like as you know like the cash because like as you know like the cash because like as you know like if you set up your data probes and if you set up your data probes and if you set up your data probes and everything correctly, you'll be swimming everything correctly, you'll be swimming everything correctly, you'll be swimming in cash. But another thing is if you in cash. But another thing is if you in cash. But another thing is if you don't have the cash, then you're kind of don't have the cash, then you're kind of don't have the cash, then you're kind of screwed in that instance. So, here's one screwed in that instance. So, here's one screwed in that instance. So, here's one thing that I like to do uh to kind of thing that I like to do uh to kind of thing that I like to do uh to kind of save you from that potential outcome of save you from that potential outcome of save you from that potential outcome of you having no insurance tickets and you you having no insurance tickets and you you having no insurance tickets and you have to spend an exorbitant fee to get have to spend an exorbitant fee to get have to spend an exorbitant fee to get your scale back. What I do is if by some your scale back. What I do is if by some your scale back. What I do is if by some chance I lose out on all my insurance chance I lose out on all my insurance chance I lose out on all my insurance tickets, I my scale dies three times and

tickets, I my scale dies three times and tickets, I my scale dies three times and I use up all my insurance tickets, but I I use up all my insurance tickets, but I I use up all my insurance tickets, but I still have my scale. What I can do is I still have my scale. What I can do is I still have my scale. What I can do is I usually like remove all of my weapons usually like remove all of my weapons usually like remove all of my weapons and things and all my augments from my and things and all my augments from my and things and all my augments from my skull. I remove everything and then I skull. I remove everything and then I skull. I remove everything and then I just sell the whole skull frame. I will just sell the whole skull frame. I will just sell the whole skull frame. I will sell that entire frame. I will get some sell that entire frame. I will get some sell that entire frame. I will get some money back and I'll just buy a new skull money back and I'll just buy a new skull money back and I'll just buy a new skull frame. So, I I think that whole process frame. So, I I think that whole process frame. So, I I think that whole process of selling your skull frame and rebying of selling your skull frame and rebying of selling your skull frame and rebying a new one will be much less of a net a new one will be much less of a net a new one will be much less of a net loss than having to repair your scale loss than having to repair your scale loss than having to repair your scale and repurchase that same scale that was and repurchase that same scale that was and repurchase that same scale that was annihilated in combat. But remember, you annihilated in combat. But remember, you annihilated in combat. But remember, you can only do this if you still have your can only do this if you still have your can only do this if you still have your scale. And you can do it no matter how scale. And you can do it no matter how scale. And you can do it no matter how many uh insurance tickets you have. But many uh insurance tickets you have. But many uh insurance tickets you have. But usually I do it when I'm running low on usually I do it when I'm running low on usually I do it when I'm running low on insurance tickets or if I have no insurance tickets or if I have no insurance tickets or if I have no insurance tickets left just so I don't insurance tickets left just so I don't insurance tickets left just so I don't have to pay like an exorbitant fee to have to pay like an exorbitant fee to have to pay like an exorbitant fee to get it back. And if I got any of this get it back. And if I got any of this get it back. And if I got any of this information wrong, please let me know in information wrong, please let me know in information wrong, please let me know in the comments below because I don't the comments below because I don't the comments below because I don't really remember how it was like to lose really remember how it was like to lose really remember how it was like to lose my skull. And I remember the insurance my skull. And I remember the insurance my skull. And I remember the insurance ticket situation kind of confused me a ticket situation kind of confused me a ticket situation kind of confused me a lot. I think it is if you hit a B button lot. I think it is if you hit a B button lot. I think it is if you hit a B button prompt then you will not have to use up prompt then you will not have to use up prompt then you will not have to use up a ticket. If you don't hit it perfectly a ticket. If you don't hit it perfectly a ticket. If you don't hit it perfectly or if you fail the button prompt then or if you fail the button prompt then or if you fail the button prompt then you will have to use up a ticket. Sort you will have to use up a ticket. Sort you will have to use up a ticket. Sort of like that situation. But let me know of like that situation. But let me know of like that situation. But let me know if I am correct in the comments below if

if I am correct in the comments below if if I am correct in the comments below if I got any of that wrong. And one more I got any of that wrong. And one more I got any of that wrong. And one more thing I want to let you guys know about thing I want to let you guys know about thing I want to let you guys know about scales is your party members, if they're scales is your party members, if they're scales is your party members, if they're assigned a skill and if their scale assigned a skill and if their scale assigned a skill and if their scale blows up and if their skill gets blows up and if their skill gets blows up and if their skill gets destroyed in combat, they will never use destroyed in combat, they will never use destroyed in combat, they will never use up any of your insurance tickets. So up any of your insurance tickets. So up any of your insurance tickets. So your party members will always get your party members will always get your party members will always get things right. You will not have to hit things right. You will not have to hit things right. You will not have to hit the button prompt for your AI party the button prompt for your AI party the button prompt for your AI party members. Your AI party members will members. Your AI party members will members. Your AI party members will always perfectly get out of their scale always perfectly get out of their scale always perfectly get out of their scale and the situation will go smoothly for and the situation will go smoothly for and the situation will go smoothly for them. So, if you have a skill that has them. So, if you have a skill that has them. So, if you have a skill that has like three insurance tickets set to like like three insurance tickets set to like like three insurance tickets set to like Elma or Lynn or L or Doug or anyone, no Elma or Lynn or L or Doug or anyone, no Elma or Lynn or L or Doug or anyone, no matter how many times your skill is matter how many times your skill is matter how many times your skill is destroyed, it should retain the same destroyed, it should retain the same destroyed, it should retain the same number of energy tickets. It should number of energy tickets. It should number of energy tickets. It should never usually go down. But when you go never usually go down. But when you go never usually go down. But when you go back to the hanger, you can get those back to the hanger, you can get those back to the hanger, you can get those skills back or get all of your skills skills back or get all of your skills skills back or get all of your skills back for all your party members. Okay, back for all your party members. Okay, back for all your party members. Okay, so for the final tip I want to show you so for the final tip I want to show you so for the final tip I want to show you guys, this is a really cool hack that I guys, this is a really cool hack that I guys, this is a really cool hack that I discovered um while I was playing the discovered um while I was playing the discovered um while I was playing the Wii U version which some of my friends Wii U version which some of my friends Wii U version which some of my friends showed me and a lot of people have been showed me and a lot of people have been showed me and a lot of people have been doing it while playing this game as doing it while playing this game as doing it while playing this game as well. So the requirement for this little well. So the requirement for this little well. So the requirement for this little hack, you either have to be a full metal hack, you either have to be a full metal hack, you either have to be a full metal jaguar or you have to be uh within the jaguar or you have to be uh within the jaguar or you have to be uh within the class that has the arts. Let's go over class that has the arts. Let's go over class that has the arts. Let's go over here and see. Yeah, you should be in here and see. Yeah, you should be in here and see. Yeah, you should be in either winged viper or full metal either winged viper or full metal either winged viper or full metal jaguar. So if you are on those paths, jaguar. So if you are on those paths, jaguar. So if you are on those paths, you can do that as cross. But if you are you can do that as cross. But if you are you can do that as cross. But if you are on a different class path as cross, you on a different class path as cross, you on a different class path as cross, you can either have Elma on your team do can either have Elma on your team do can either have Elma on your team do this or someone else who can help you

this or someone else who can help you this or someone else who can help you with this is the winged viper fog. If with this is the winged viper fog. If with this is the winged viper fog. If you have fog on your team, you can do you have fog on your team, you can do you have fog on your team, you can do this as well. Granted that they all have this as well. Granted that they all have this as well. Granted that they all have the right art. So basically, you need to the right art. So basically, you need to the right art. So basically, you need to have blood sacrifice and shadowrunner. have blood sacrifice and shadowrunner. have blood sacrifice and shadowrunner. So let's see. Fog. Fog has not learned So let's see. Fog. Fog has not learned So let's see. Fog. Fog has not learned blood sacrifice yet. He needs to be rank blood sacrifice yet. He needs to be rank blood sacrifice yet. He needs to be rank 13. So for Fog and Elma, if they're rank 13. So for Fog and Elma, if they're rank 13. So for Fog and Elma, if they're rank 13 in their respective class, they can 13 in their respective class, they can 13 in their respective class, they can do this. So let's do this with Elma. do this. So let's do this with Elma. do this. So let's do this with Elma. Basically, what you need to do is I want Basically, what you need to do is I want Basically, what you need to do is I want to test this on these enemies over here. to test this on these enemies over here. to test this on these enemies over here. So basically, what you have to do is use So basically, what you have to do is use So basically, what you have to do is use blood sacrifice, which will half your blood sacrifice, which will half your blood sacrifice, which will half your HP, but give you a boost in TP. And you HP, but give you a boost in TP. And you HP, but give you a boost in TP. And you have 1,000 TP. So, you can cast this TP have 1,000 TP. So, you can cast this TP have 1,000 TP. So, you can cast this TP art, which is shadowrunner, which art, which is shadowrunner, which art, which is shadowrunner, which disables enemy detection. You see these disables enemy detection. You see these disables enemy detection. You see these enemies? They will detect me via sound. enemies? They will detect me via sound. enemies? They will detect me via sound. So, let's make some noise. Yeah, see, So, let's make some noise. Yeah, see, So, let's make some noise. Yeah, see, they heard me. Now, I'm screwed. They're they heard me. Now, I'm screwed. They're they heard me. Now, I'm screwed. They're too high level. They're going to destroy too high level. They're going to destroy too high level. They're going to destroy me. But you know what's really good is me. But you know what's really good is me. But you know what's really good is when you see like an FN probe site or a when you see like an FN probe site or a when you see like an FN probe site or a piece of treasure which is nearby like a piece of treasure which is nearby like a piece of treasure which is nearby like a huge swarm of enemies, you can use this huge swarm of enemies, you can use this huge swarm of enemies, you can use this tactic to just sneak in there, get in, tactic to just sneak in there, get in, tactic to just sneak in there, get in, get out easily. Yeah, this site I was get out easily. Yeah, this site I was get out easily. Yeah, this site I was not able to get to it because that swarm not able to get to it because that swarm not able to get to it because that swarm of enemies over there was guarding it of enemies over there was guarding it of enemies over there was guarding it and every time I would get too close and every time I would get too close and every time I would get too close they would see me and they would just they would see me and they would just they would see me and they would just annihilate me. So, I had to use this um annihilate me. So, I had to use this um annihilate me. So, I had to use this um blood sacrifice to get 1,00 TP and then

blood sacrifice to get 1,00 TP and then blood sacrifice to get 1,00 TP and then shadowrunner to make it so that these shadowrunner to make it so that these shadowrunner to make it so that these enemies can't detect me. See, look. Just enemies can't detect me. See, look. Just enemies can't detect me. See, look. Just run. I'm I'm part of I'm part of the run. I'm I'm part of I'm part of the run. I'm I'm part of I'm part of the squad now until they squad now until they squad now until they realize that I'm not. Let's see how long realize that I'm not. Let's see how long realize that I'm not. Let's see how long it takes. But, of course, the more you it takes. But, of course, the more you it takes. But, of course, the more you level up your Shadowrunner art, I think level up your Shadowrunner art, I think level up your Shadowrunner art, I think the longer this effect will last. So the longer this effect will last. So the longer this effect will last. So keep that in mind. And of course it's keep that in mind. And of course it's keep that in mind. And of course it's not going to last forever. not going to last forever. not going to last forever. So yeah, now now they noticed So yeah, now now they noticed So yeah, now now they noticed me. Yeah, still a very very useful hack me. Yeah, still a very very useful hack me. Yeah, still a very very useful hack to get you out of some very scary to get you out of some very scary to get you out of some very scary situations. But of course once the enemy situations. But of course once the enemy situations. But of course once the enemy finds you, then you just got to book it. finds you, then you just got to book it. finds you, then you just got to book it. You got to run as fast as you can and You got to run as fast as you can and You got to run as fast as you can and get out of there. But anyways, that's get out of there.
