The best part about Praxis is that she mentions her Eye of Shining Justice in her blade quest The worst part is that she doesn't actually have one in NG+
The other day i thought to myself "hey I haven't played xenoblade 2 in a while" so I search for it on youtube, thinking the last video on it would be like 2 years ago but lo and behold
14:00 Spike damage. In Theory a nice idea to make combat more diverse. In Praxis I hate this mechanic, at least in Xenoblade 1 it was more a hassle than anything else (during story fights). During the first try against a spiked enemy you lose. Then you either use Shulk or have to assemble spike protection gear, then you win. After battle you switch back to your normal gear. Hopefully, during my XCX playthrough spike damage won't be as prominent as I remember it from its predecessor.
"Theory" "Praxis" I see what you did there. But yeah, I agree, Spike is easily one of the worst mechanics in all Xenoblade games. It just makes otherwise victorious fights borderline unfightable and it makes the post-game bosses feel way more completionist unfriendly than they are.
I generally prefer to use Praxis over Aegeon anyway. I kind of wish Praxis and Theory were main story blades as well, because they have three blade quests between the two of them, and they have one of the better arcs in terms of rare blades.
Praxis was easily one of my favorite Blades when I got to her in my playthrough; the story they told with her was just stellar, and it moved me emotionally seeing how it all turned out. And I'm glad Morag was a good driver for her, because without knowing what she was like I just bonded them since it made sense for the Special Inquisitor to take control of a criminal's Blade, so that was fortunate. I do also like her design though; bubbly in more ways than one, and she's just adorable.
I wonder why so many guaranteed blades happen to share the water element. Dromarch Sheba Praxis Aegaeon and chapter 7 spoiler all share this element. The only guaranteed dark blade is Kassandra who commits the greatest sin that any blade not named Poppi can do- no elemental mastery.
Enel: "...so we're gonna cover a cute girl instead." Me, having already read the video title: "Kasandra?" In all seriousness, these videos are great and really informative. You're doing fine work breaking this all down and making it easy to process, and it's entertaining to boot.
tbf, Aegeon is after these Praxis and Theory. But since a lot of story blades are locked to certain characters most of the time, having one where you can choose does make it a bit more interesting. Though now I wonder when Vess is coming(unless I just missed her and I am a fool for not seeing her video.).
I regret not using Praxis in my playthrough. I really like her design but i opened her on Rex and didn't really want another =water blade in my team since I was already using Aegaeon and Dromarch. I also didn't have the patience to grind for overdrives to switch her to anyone. If i ever do an NG+ she and Theory will probably be over on Zeke for team eyepatch, even if it isn't optimal.
Personally to me idk why i don't see it listed on skill tree but I feel like there is a hidden mechanic where she deals extra damage a little bit and gains affinity so much faster when theory is on the field with her.
I've just realized performing a full blade combo is bad with overdrive because you can't destroy the orbs. It decreases your damage for the whole fight, and it triggers elemental awakening.
With how you're showing off overdrive I'm hoping you do a "how to use Elma" video, which we all know will devolve into "how to use overdrive" but still.
THEORY: these videos are just Enel going the long way about showing us how well QTπ Synergizes with every other blade in the game... *BUT THAT'S JUST A THEOR-*
When I first saw Praxis, I thought her breasts were actual water balloons lol. If I were to make her a bit better, I would give her a 15% phys. def. And 10% ether def. instead of 5% each. Foam blast would have a boost to damage ratio to about 485 at max affinity level 5. Geyser spring would have a 10% crit mod.
Tbh I wish the devs let all the rare blades have 2 aux cores as the minimum and keep the 1 slots for the lower rarity common blades, a lot of otherwise pretty good blades like Praxis really suffer cause they only have one slot and it's a big waste
Nice vid, but why don't you use overdrive with all of the blades like Mythra, Corvin, and Wulfric, wouldn't they benefit from overdrive as well, and if not more.
The water balloon parts are clothes, if I remember the artist's comments correctly, and the eye patch is because "I have a medical condition, you poser." [her post battle dialogue to Zeke].
if you have full meter and she's in your party you can press r and - to have allies swap to and activate OD. If you control her you need to be controlling her though
If you wanted to do a cute girl you could've done Nia next and then Aegaeon. And come on... Aegaeon is one of the more attractive men in this game isn't he?
Oh my god... They should've made items that let you increase a blade's aux core slots, like they did with driver accessories. Why didn't they? It's just an arbitrary way to make certain blade's bad; all the ones that are considered good all have 3 likely by design. Come on... You're telling me an awful character like Sheba deserves 3 while blades like Praxis Boreas and others only get 1? Completely unfair.
The Aegis being the star of this game doesn't have 3 Aux Core slots either which is weird but maybe, because they are actually 2 and not one, Monolith considered she was too broken or something which is funny because QTPi is clearly the most broken blade in this game and she can use like 10 different slots or more. It's disturbing how some blades get 3 and others get one or two. If at least some of those blades had decentaffinity charts they could be ok but nope, some of them are at the bottom and they have 1 aux core slot which sucks.
It's a shame Praxis was so damn nerfed by Monolith. Only 1 Aux Core slot...that's painful. Also her Special Level 4 is kind of weak. Of course, I have her with Zeke because the eyepatch team is just the best lol
Praxis, Theory, and Pandoria is the best combo because there's like 2 functioning eyes between the three of them
@Krish Shah Yeah, but she needs glasses.
@@maagic2031 Zeke needs a contact lens too
I always put on eyepatch before using praxis or theory
she's cute so it makes her S tier for me. and for all the weebs out there her japanese VA is sakura ayane so it makes her cuter

Perfect timing, i just maxed praxis's affinity chart last night on my new game+ run. I think theorys better but i love praxis's design
Design 😏
@@Yengozi design😏
The best part about Praxis is that she mentions her Eye of Shining Justice in her blade quest
The worst part is that she doesn't actually have one in NG+
Praxis for driver when
Correction it’s Theory’s Blade Quest where Praxis mentions her eye of shining justice.
I’ve had a End of Battle convo occur where Zeke threatens to sue Praxis for copyright infringement. A little funny lol
I need to praxis with practice more so I can use her Praxically
I love her so much! Always have her on Zeke for no real reason. She's also precious and must be protected from all that's bad in the world.
Eye of shining justice is why

Thank you for your guides Mr. God of Xenoblade series
I’m glad to hear that Praxis is actually pretty good in this game

Yeah, I think there is technically a guaranteed dark blade in NG+ but that hardly seems fair to count, at least he has Dark Mastery
Don't forget Godfrey with his Merc Mission only skills
praxis makes perfect
Always loved praxis for her personality her connection with theory her blade quest everything.
Can't wait for how to use common blades
16:10 Tora with the save there.
Wow, I didn't realize Praxis had such good battle skills, and I got her to S. That's what I get for not paying attention in menus
The format of these videos are really good! Thank you so much Enel!
Awesome with Zek. Double damage when their eye patches are opposite from each other
Sadly praxis will never get the eye of shining justice that she deserves.
Enel: "...so we're gonna cover a cute girl instead."
Me, having already read the video title: "Kasandra?"
In all seriousness, these videos are great and really informative. You're doing fine work breaking this all down and making it easy to process, and it's entertaining to boot.
Love her design, so I just ran her all game anyways.
Glad to know it wasn't one of my worst decisions
Yes! another video right after your Xeno saga video. Thank you for creating such awesome and helpful videos! My favourite you tube channel !
Both her and Theory are cool.
I got so excited when I saw this! Love watching your videos and they always bring me back to these games!
I just genuinely LOVE her design
I cant wait to see.nia! She has always been a mystery to me lol
Lances on morag is probably my favorite class is the game
Also axes on zeke and twin rings on rex

My favorite spear blade
Im honestly more interested in seeing agieons guide
I guess that now Praxis is here, Theory is next?
These guides are awesome!
I've just realized performing a full blade combo is bad with overdrive because you can't destroy the orbs. It decreases your damage for the whole fight, and it triggers elemental awakening.
yeah its a bit unfortunate hahahaha
comment for algorythm (Elma or Zenobia next ?)
Okay nice, now I know how to get the best success for Praxis. Also good morning
Can I get an F for my boy Aegaeon😔
I’m at the end of my fourth playthrough and never pulled praxis kinda hoping I will now edit: i didnt know she was from a side quest lol
this guy knows his audience
Thank you

Does this mean, we could probably get a Kassandra guide one day qwq
8:56 so do I
Same
With how you're showing off overdrive I'm hoping you do a "how to use Elma" video, which we all know will devolve into "how to use overdrive" but still.
haha elma has a lot of things besides that dw
BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY! A... praxis... theory...
THEORY: these videos are just Enel going the long way about showing us how well QTπ Synergizes with every other blade in the game...
*BUT THAT'S JUST A THEOR-*
QTpi is good and its hard to justify not using her hahaha

Foam blast would have a boost to damage ratio to about 485 at max affinity level 5. Geyser spring would have a 10% crit mod.
So she smashes very efficiently... noted 😏
Poor Praxis...loved her story and design, but it feels weird that they screwed her in so many regards.

Commenting is praxis!
I am making a party called team eyepatch. Not joking.
Theory comes too lololol
Ah yes, True waifus always beat out anything I guess. Thanks for the guide Enel!
Can you activate Overdrive as long as Elma is in your party at all? I thought you had to be controlling her driver when she's active.
if you have full meter and she's in your party you can press r and - to have allies swap to and activate OD. If you control her you need to be controlling her though
@@EnelXC the more you know. thanks
she's good at smashing
Lol 8:57 Me too bro...me too

How to use Aegaeon in XC2: don't, maybe.
here for the algorithm

If you wanted to do a cute girl you could've done Nia next and then Aegaeon. And come on... Aegaeon is one of the more attractive men in this game isn't he?
So when's Catalyst Scimitar? 👀
Also, Praxis is my favorite lance Blade.
One part of the eyepatch sisters
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to raise her affinity until I’m able to unlock theory? I’m a noobie😅
Nice! You doing Rex’s other story blade?
yes
KOS-MOS
No really that’s all I have to say. Great character. Maybe you should make a guide on her sometime :3
Step 1: Get her on the Gatcha.
Step 2: Bond her with Nia, Zek or Rex.
Step 3: Witness how everything is demolished.

Best girl
Could they really not just come up with two different names for her skills? Like why just The Awakened (Power) and The Awakened (Skill)
Should I do the stand alone expansion pack before the main story of XC2 ? gonna buy them both tomorrow.
No. Do the main story first.
Definitely not. It's a story best viewed with context from the main game.
Can you do Aegaeon next please?
soon
that was obvious in NNN
haha
can you please explain what kind of class weapon is prefer on each driver?
I have an entire video about this actually! best driver for every blade I think its called
How many people have put Praxis and Theory in Zeke. Be honest
Trust me, Enel. Absolutely no one expected or wanted Aegeaon
gonna have to come eventually
