Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a massive and complex RPG<\/a> that slowly and steadily unravels all of its gameplay attributes. However, similar to others like it, it’s a slow burn. Moreover, with a wide array of mechanics introduced over time, it can become overwhelming for newcomers to grasp everything all at once.<\/span><\/p>\n

As such, if you’re new to the Xenoblade franchise and are currently in the early stages of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, we have gathered a bunch of tips and tricks to aid you in your journey through Aionios.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – <\/span>Best Starting Tips For Beginners<\/span><\/h2>\n

Below you will find several useful tips and tricks that will allow you to blast through Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rush through Chapter 1<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’re supposed to go slow in massive JRPGs such as these, but in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, it’s best if you rush through Chapter 1. That’s because, in Chapter 2, you unlock the option to switch between classes<\/a> and control other party members, which opens up numerous combat opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can always fast-travel to previously explored locations, so it’s not like you will be missing out on side quests and monster hunts by rushing through the regions of chapter 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodge in combat<\/span><\/h3>\n

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 features real-time combat, and while you can’t sprint or slide, you can dodge. <\/span>We discovered this neat gameplay mechanic accidentally during a combat encounter and have used it ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

To dodge, press R3 (the button on the right analog stick). <\/span>Dodging comes in handy, especially when you’re playing as a Swordfighter (Noah) or Zephyr (Mio) class, so make sure to use it to your advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Equip Gemstones to multiple characters at once<\/span><\/h3>\n

In Chapter 2, you unlock the ability to craft Gemstones, special equipment that gives you buffs. While the Gem Crafting tutorial will provide this detail, it is also easy to forget that you can equip a Gemstone to more than one character at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, early on, you will craft the Ironclad I Gemstone that increases your maximum HP by 100. You will probably equip this to Noah, but you can also equip this to Mio and other characters. <\/span><\/p>\n

Equip accessories that benefit your class<\/span><\/h3>\n

While it is self-explanatory, equipping the accessories according to your class<\/a> will give you an edge during combat. For example, equip an accessory that boosts healing skills to Healer classes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some accessories also come labeled with a class symbol. While you can equip these accessories to characters of any class, you should equip them to the recommended class to maximize their effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use the right commands during combat<\/span><\/h3>\n

RPGs with party-based combat open up more strategic ways to approach a combat scenario. These come in handy when playing at greater difficulties or facing incredibly tough foes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like most games of the genre, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 also allows you to take direct control of your party, issuing them commands and changing the course of the battle. As such, it’s important to learn when to use a specific command. <\/span><\/p>\n
