Lots of Xenoblade Chronicles X details about the Dolls
Details stemming from yesterday’s Xenoblade Chronicles X website update have now been translated. You can find them rounded up below.
– Take the “Doll License Certification Exam” once you reach a certain point in the story
– After you pass, you can obtain “Dolls”
– After the “Flight Pack” is developed, you can fly Dolls through the sky
– Dolls can accomplish an enormous variety of things
– Light, Medium, and Heavy Doll types
– Light: Low HP, high Accuracy and Evasion; excellent mobility in battle; low fuel capacity, but gets good mileage while flying; the price makes it a good choice for beginner pilots.
– Medium: Balanced in all areas, and easy to handle; excellent armor on all parts, making it difficult for them to be destroyed; mid-range priced Dolls recommended for pilots with battle experience.
– Heavy: Very high HP and Defense; able to make frequent use of high-powered weaponry due to its high fuel capacity; their heavy frames make them slow in battle, and they get poor mileage while flying; price, but appreciated by veterans and romantic pilots.
– Dolls perform auto attacks in battle with the Hand Weapons equipped to either hand
– Dolls use weapons equipped to other parts to use arts
– Hand Weapons(L/R)…Rods, Swords, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, etc
– Dolls can equip up to 8 weapons to use arts
– Back Weapons(L/R)…Railguns, Missiles, Grenade Launchers, etc. Use high-powered arts
– Shoulder Weapons(L/R)…Missiles, Chainguns, Laser Weapons, etc. Can use arts more powerful than Back Weapons.
– Arm Weapons(L/R)…Shields, Vulcans, etc. Tend to come with arts with extra effects.
– Spare Weapons(L/R)…Beam Sabers, Hand Grenades, etc. Have distinctly short Recast times.
– Just like fighting on-foot, you can expend 3000 TP to activate the “OC Gear”
– Can’t use fuel while in OC Gear
– When using arts, there’s a fixed chance you’ll enter “Cockpit Mode”
– All arts are instantly Recast after Cockpit Mode activates, allowing you to reuse them immediately
– Can “Catch” enemies who are suffering from “Break”
– This prevents them from moving for a fixed period of time
– All attacks against enemies in Catch are guaranteed to hit, and the damage inflicted against them is increased
– Dolls use up fuel while flying around, and when using arts in battle
– Fuel recovers slowly when you disembark from the Doll, but you can also refuel them at NLA
– Use the console at the BLADE Home to change your Doll’s equipment, name, coloring, etc.
