    I remember unlocking Fiona and thinking that random buffs didn't sound that good.
    I equipped Fiona, an AI controlled character with a predetermined and not that good build, and before I noticed I had like 8 buffs on everyone.

    Something worth pointing out is Fiona's chain attack order; she refills the chain attack gauge after her order is complete, which can give you up to 5 normal orders followed by an Ouroboros order. It's another great example of how insanely strong Fiona's (and the Signifer class's as a whole) support is.

      Sometimes that can screw you over though. If you get it at the start of a chain attack it's useless, and sometimes you may get unlucky and not have enough characters to complete a chain attack with an extra order. And I've had both happen to me regularly. That's why I always go Ashera.

      Then, I tried experimenting, and this works with Cross Impact and Resonant Flag as well. If you do that as a fusion art, everyone automatically gets power charge, cause when I tested it, the healer didn’t have power charge, but using the cross impact/resonate flag fusion art not only gave the user power charge, but gave the entire party power charge as well.
      I love having a Launch/Smash fusion art, cause it just looks hilarious. Like Soaring tempest across from Mighty Beat (I think? It’s the Monica smash art) is so much fun. They are launched then immediately smashed.

    I really loved Fiona's character in this game. The colony is probably the most normal colony of people in the entire game, to a large extent because of Fiona. I found her honesty, lack of ego and her ability to care about something more than war refreshing. It was very amusing that she very much entertained the idea that the flame clock was hidden to make the colony look better than it probably was. The whole Joan of Arc archetype was pretty refreshing to see in Xenoblade too.

      Honestly Irma's Character was kinda sad. I got the impression she purposely went to get himself killed by Fiona and try and make Fiona hate her. It probably hit her that she actually cared about the People in the Colony (and especially Fiona) but as a Consul at that point she was responsible for countless deaths and hurting her best Friend. I think it broke her.
      SPOILER FOR A QUEST:
      There is also a later quest with Triton where he mentions an "old Friend" Consul who always carried about a Box with things she treasured. Considering he remembered it in Colony Mu there's implication that was Irma ... and when we find her Hideout the only things in the Box where things from Fiona.

    Idk if this is a good strategy, but what I did is that I had Lanz under the signifier class and once he maxed it out I switched him back to heavy guard while still retaining Resonant flag and Aurole. That way he could buff up my party while also acting as a defender at the same tie.

      I did this a lot with the party on Swordfighter. Shadow Eye is a great Master Art for Attackers and Healers.
      Yeah, a Healer isn’t really going to need Attack Up, but halving their aggro is very nice.

    • @jameskeen3321
      @jameskeen3321 Год назад

      I have considered this. If you are running two tanks chances are only one is pulling aggro. That leaves the other freedom to move around field and keep more vulnerable characters in its field. Heavy guard has best field effect imo so it would be a good effect but you need to make sure it can grab aggro on secondary targets or main if other tank goes down

  • @zchoom5884
    @zchoom5884 Год назад +22

    Funnily, the blaze field from yumsmith *does* count as a field effect/healer role action based on my testing. Which is pretty good since my other healer runs advanced cooldown and Signifer has one of the highest atk stat for a healer class iirc.

    • @EnelXC
      @EnelXC  Год назад +4

      Yeah but it would also use up power charge. Not sure if worth it for that.

    a small correction, on the accesory guide, Veneris Ring specifically, it can only be acceced in chapter 7 byt story progress, its barred out of reach until then
    also, Signifer is trully the strongest, also Fiona, cause her rder is bonkers, it actually fills the meter by half, so if you get it in the third round, you get 2 extra rounds before the Ouroboros

    Hey enel, i was going to comment this on yesterdays vid but seeing how this is here now ill put it here. I believe skills like mad taunt talent art and nobel taunt work is they do nothing if you already have aggro, but if you dont have aggro on a mob it automatically pulls aggro you by matching whoever has aggros aggro. Ive had my tank get up after dying and nobel taunt to get aggro back right away. Hope this can be confirmed somehow, but hope it helps.

  • @ShermTank7272
    @ShermTank7272 Год назад +5

    With field effects, I think there may be some sort of cap on the total number of field effects. I had a few Stalkers and Lost Vanguards in the party, and between them and the healers, I noticed that when there was about 4 or 5 field effects active, when another was created, the oldest field art was converted into a buff for everyone who was standing in that field art when it dissolved. For example, Lost Vanguard's Electro Field was converted into an Armor Veil buff on the tank after the Stalkers and Healers put their own field effects down.
    Given the variety of field effects, especially Medic Gunner's Attack Up, there could be some way to cheese this and convert your field effects into yet more buffs that Signifier could spread to the party

    I found out very early on just how broken this class is. I even have the exact same set of arts! Very fun class to play as and overwhelming my opponents with buff spamming is real satisfying. One thing I would recommend is pairing Cross Impact with Resonant Flag because the fusion art during chain attacks will always apply power charge to everyone even if the Signifer doesn't already have it themselves.

    I used this class a lot during my time with the game and like... honestly it's not even that it's powerful, because yeah it's insanely strong but in a way that is kind of hard to gauge on a first playthrough when you're already slightly above level curve. It's that it's just, stupidly fun, actually, to play? Like just looping buffs on everybody literally kept me entertained from the moment I unlocked this class until I beat the final boss. I feel pretty good about having hit on the exact moveset you showed off though-- passing Power Charge to everyone for free every couple seconds is so completely insane, it's great.

    Not exactly relevant to this particular guide, but I noticed you never recommend Ultimate Qigong as a master skill on physical DPS classes. While the description is misleading, it does ignore enemy resistances even when going into the negatives, meaning a 0% phys res enemy would always be considered as having a -50% phys resistance. This is more or less a 50% independant multiplier (well, the only thing it stacks additively with is other sources of phys penetration and the phys def down debuff) that is always on, which is extremely strong. Is there any reason I'm not aware of to not use it over some other "free damage filler" options like Dynamite Spirit/fighting prowess, which afaik stack additively with most other sources of increased damage ?
