Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Showcases Swordfighter’s Talent Art, Exceed Buster

The official Japanese Xenoblade series promotional account has shared new specific gameplay information regarding the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Following the reveal of Talent Arts returning in this entry, elaboration was provided regarding the Talent Art of the Swordfighter Class, Exceed Buster. This high-damaging skill is more effective on stunned foes, so it’s likely best utilized in the late stages of battles. This attack is also exceedingly reminiscent of Monado Buster; a skill Shulk wielded in the first game. Further, it is worth noting that while Noah is a Swordfighter by default, characters can change their class, with their cosmetics even altering.

Information regarding Class changes and their respective Talent Arts will undoubtedly be revealed as we approach the title’s release roughly two months from now.

We’ll keep updating you all on any significant  Xenoblade Chronicles 3  news.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 tells the story of protagonists Noah and Mio contending with a conflict between the nations of Keves, and Agnus. 6 characters will be the crux of the experience, and the broad concept of “life” will be the title’s central theme.

The narrative for the game will tie in elements and plotlines from the future of the prior two mainline games, Xenoblade Chronicles and    Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Flutes seem to play an integral role in the title’s premise. The new trailer reveals characters have a mighty Ouroboros form, which allows them to assume the form of powerful oversized entities in battle.

The summoning of this powerful new form depends on a new Interlink system. If specific conditions are met, characters can combine into this mech, and choosing well when to transform should be key to the more difficult battles. Another system revealed is a class change option, allowing players to customize their parties’ builds further than in previous games.
