XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 SPECIAL EDITION (NINTENDO SWITCH)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an action RPG set in an open world. The player's party consists of Pilots, which can be controlled directly, and Summoned Blades which grant their Pilots weapons and powers. The active group can contain up to three Drivers at a time, who in turn can engage up to three active Blades. During combat, each pilot can have one Blade active at a time, but can switch to any of the others as needed. Each blade has its own weapon type, element, role in battle, and each grants a specific stat bonus to its pilot. In turn, pilots have stat distributions that make them more suitable for certain weapons and blade roles. Therefore, the player is responsible for assigning Blades that have synergy with both their Pilot's specialty and the elemental distribution of other Blades in the party. Both character types have skill trees and can equip items to further develop their strengths.
