I think a good way debuffs could be improved or more balenced is that they always apply when the enemy is dazed to give daze some more uses other than item farming (and the dubuff resistance drop art always applies)
I mean daze also has enraged cleanse which is highly likely to be crucial in challenge mode Monolithsoft really just needs to nerf the debuff resistances or release a master skill that gives at least a 50% success rate for debuffs
@@neonblackbeast7243 that's true, burst gets rid of enrage, but with how broken smash damage is in this game and how launch gives bonus damage, I still feel like it would help balence the 2 out
@@neonblackbeast7243 I believe what he meant is that, unlike the Launch status, daze doesn't have an extra affect applied to it like launch does. Daze extends the time the enemy can't do anything and then lead to burst. Launch also extends the timer the enemy can't move and and also leads into smash, but the big differential is that launch gives a pretty considerable damage increase to the enemy, which is best used on chain attacks. I think if what he said about daze helping on any debuffs would make sense design wise, because launch > smash is supposed to build damage, and daze > burst is supposed to weaken enemies by removing rage, which is not bad by any means, but it does come across as somewhat inferior when you are picking arts, even if just a little
@@eduardoleocadio2678 Daze does have an extra effect applied to it like Launch though. Like in 1, all attacks against dazed enemies will always hit, and no aggro is gained from attacking Dazed enemies
I like this class almost entirely because of Isurd; when you get him, he’s probably the most consistent way of getting two of your guys back in a chain attack if he finishes an order and it’s not once per chain attack like Ashera. Really fun support class, great hero, everything Thaumaturge wishes it could be.
@@planetary-rendez-vousit looks cool and Teach is good TP support, but like Zeke with Lances in XC2, he’s too busy trying to be flashy and ends up not being as practical. Isurd, and Strategos in general, can always find a spot on your team for multi-hit ether damage with support always being an option.
@@emilianoizanagi2245 poison isn't a big problem because Segiri let's you just ignore it. Not a whole lot can be done about the extremely high level enemies beyond just killing them though
@@conorb.1901 You only have to navigate through lvl 60-65 enemies if I remember correctly because the 90+ enemies are found at the bottom of a cliff and the quest requires you to instead take a side path through that cave and you only run into level 63 or so antols
Shackle Ring boosts damage and while its average damage increase is lower than Ceramic Belt, the fact that it increases buff, debuff, and field duration (all of which this class does), as well as lowering enemy debuff resistance makes it synergize really well with Strategos. With the increased chance and duration of the physical defense down debuff, this may make it so the party does even more damage overall with Shackle Ring than Ceramic Belt, but even when that's not the case I still think it's worth it.
Of note about Preemption Gambit is that, from what I’ve noticed, so long as you draw your weapon before the enemy notices you, you will get the attack buff, even if they aggro you before you can get a first hit in. It also works even if Strategos is not the one that initiates the preemptive attack.
This is probably my favourite healer class in the game just due to it being more offensively oriented. I hope we get some keves healers in the DLC so this class can potentially nab it's master arts. A better buff for it to use would be really nice
Definitely a super fun class and an interesting take on a healer. I could just never get past the fact that they remind me of those little disc shooters you'd get at an arcade... which made me love them even more.
Isurd would love those little guns, tbh. After his ascension question, I can imagine he sees someone with their back turned in the colony then **shunk**.
This is probably one of the classes my main man Mwamba would have high aptitude in. He was such a big fan of Beyblades and this class is like shooting beyblades. Anyways, I am once again here to ask for a miracle: Sharpshooter guide when?
I get such a laugh out of Noah practically screaming No Love Lost. It's just oddly funny to me. I used this Class on Taion for most of the game as soon as I got it both out of it feeling appropriate and me just liking the Class.
When I first saw this class I thought it was going to be knuckles claws. This class was very useful during my hard playthrough. The outfit is also really nice.
A good thing to note is that Preemption Gambit will trigger even if you're controlling a character different from your Strategos, meaning your DPS will quickly get a damage boost when initiating combat with their combos.
aesthetically; my favorite healer. just a cool design. Kept Taion on it for a while; only switching off for the usual pairing of Troubadour and Signifer lol
Nice guide as always keep up the good work, I enjoyed using this class alot for it's healing during the midgame - late game and felt like it was a straight upgrade to Taion's class, until I got the post game healer class, which I prefer using now.
One unusual use of Hornet in midgame is as a Master Art on Kevesi Defenders; as a healing Art, it seems to draw additional aggro, and even though it won't heal _much_ HP on a Defender, every little bit helps. The strategy definitely gets quickly outclassed as the better lategame options start coming online, but during that awkward middle hump when you're desperately trying to ration your limited supply of non-capped Defender levels, the extra bit of aggro draw can allow you to run single-Defender setups without immediately consigning your whole party to dying all the time.
Loved the guides and have been following them since xenoblade 2! I can't wait for the lost vanguard guide as I've been trying to get that class to work in post-game but not sure about the optimal setup.
I've never touched Strategos really even after 190hrs of playtime, but this video kinda made me want to give it a try! I think i'll start working on this build today ^_^
I've been combining this class on Taion with Full Metal Jaguar on Eunie for thematic reasons. I think it's fitting that they're an Ouroboros pair, and they both get a class that wields dual guns on top of having a damage increase that caps out at 200% (at least). Yesterday, with my setup, I managed to get over 20 million damage in a Chain Attack against the Dragon Superboss and I wasn't even fully optimal. Strategos wasn't the only contributor obviously, but with Healers never going past 99%, it was fun constantly spamming him and watching a Healer do Attacker-level damage consistently. As a disclaimer, I was playing on Easy mode due to my setup not being perfected yet. My planned setup is Noah: Swordfighter Mio: Lone Exile (directly controlled) Eunie: Full Metal Jaguar Taion: Strategos Lanz: Signifer Sena: Flash Fencer With the exception of Signifer, I mostly chose these for aesthetic reasons, but they're so fun. Edit: Changed Full Metal Jaguar to Incursor due to better consistency in addition to the Sword Attacker theme I have going. Kept Strategos though because it's fun. Also, I swapped Eunie and Taion's classes due to stats (however negligible they may be) as well as the fact that Taion starts with more TP in Chain Attacks. I have manage to do over 39 million damage in a Chain Attack since. Edit 2: This setup doesn't even exist anymore. I've been changing things up constantly trying to find my best setup. I have managed over 53 million damage in a chain attack.
@@ColdspaceDog Honestly, I just put Lanz on Signifer because 1) He's the S-Rank 2) Mio's my favorite character, and I wanted to actually play as Lone Exile.
I recently found out that sources of random buffs, like Cry of Faith, do not actually count towards Prowess Gambit. You're better off using Glittering Melody, since it does stack it, and it's just a really useful art overall.
Hopefully the update that adds in challenge mode also addresses how badly debuff-based setups perform, because it's pretty annoying to have certain classes be meh or terrible solely because enemies have ridiculous resistance to all debuffs with no possible counters.
this makes me wanna give thaumaturge another go tbh. It doesn't rlly get another damage additive like strategos does but maybe if it was built towards getting more crits and gave it skills that buffed it's damage and crit rate rather than pure support u could prolly get some nice numbers from it especially since crits are crazy in this game. it would obviously help if it also got a damage additive for like everytime u healed or smth but idk if MS is gonna do any balancing to individual classes. I think even with what's available tho u could prolly make something really good out of it
Isurd contends with Teach for the main spot in my party. Main issue is I do not wish to double up on the same kind of field effect. Although I could do worse than double regen field, and Isurd does seem better in chain attacks. Although my main healers lack debuff removal so it’s a rough choice.
I’m on chapter 5 rn and I’ve been playing this class a lot (I make sure at least one of my healers is a strategos) I like this class a lot as it balances well between healing and debuffing Great guide as always !
Definitely has been one of my main heal classes ran with War Medic until I got access to the late game ones. Also, I did finish the game last thursday and boi...BOI, have I been hit with post-game existential crisis after this one, definitely my new favorite XC game of the 4 (including X). Does so much right. Unrelated too but I have to go into this rant with a purpose because I couldn't believe it: I was fighting a pretty meaty boss in hard mode and had what could only be the most cursed chain attack. I had Ashera in my party so I got an Amazing on first turn by default. However I did not get Ashera at all as a chain order so I only had 3 chain orders in total. My second turn my final order stopped at freakin' 149%...so I only got a cool rating and one hero back. Then I run the third order to lead into an ouroboros order and...AGAIN...it stops at 149%. So finally I go into Ouroboros order, finish the order...IT ENDS AT 199%. To quote Rex "This is too ridiculous for words!" So the purpose of this rant: I was following Enel's amazing guides on how to build up my characters' classes with only some minor tweaks and even with how shitty that chain attack luck was I still defeated that boss within the chain attack!
Super late to the party, but do we know how the damage boost from buff applications actually works? Like, is it per buff applied to an ally or is it per buffing action you perform? Because if it's the former you'd get 6 stacks right at the start of a fight if you get a preemptive and buff everyone with Attack Up, no? I wouldn't complain if that was the case because I adore this class but yeah I'm curious now lol Phenomenal guide as always btw, your XC2 guides made me appreciate that game so much more and I'm finding the same to be true for this game as well. Rock on!
Prowess Gambit stacks *once* per buff application, regardless of how many party members receive the buff. Buffing only yourself does not grant any stacks. It is also worth noting that sources of random buffs DO NOT grant stacks, so using Cry of Faith does not benefit Prowess Gambit.
Wait I thought fraternal badge with it’s no defender setup only applied to tanks. A tank that isn’t currently in aggro?. Did I misinterpret the description.
Wow your timing is crazy lol. Just looked an hour or so ago to see if you had a strategos guide but you didn't, so I just googled some info instead. I must have JUST missed the upload
Would you consider doing a video of ideal party comp? Like everyone using the class their stats complement with a balanced mix of attack, defense, and offense
When it comes to superboss cheese people go for these smash builds. Look up Naz Talgic's swordfighter video. In a non-cheesy ways I go for 3 Attackers, 2 Healers, 1 Defender. Others prefer 4 Attackers and 2 Healers.
Great video enel just got this awakening and by the way are gold nopon gold coins used for anything other the gems or do they have another use I have 99 so each time I fight a unique boss just wastes it keep it up
The thing I struggle the most is which character should get which class. I don't know if the impact is to significant but there has to be some optimization in terms of fulfilling their role
I'm not sure if there is in terms of stat optimisation actually. Obviously, each character is the best with their base class, but outside of that, I haven't noticed many stat variations (for example, if I have lanz and mio as the same class, lanz has slightly more HP, and mio has slightly more agility but again, the differences are mostly minor).
Some characters are better than others with classes, like all the characters are best at their specific class but otherwise it really does not matter who is what. A character being a Class really only matters for Mio with Signifier and thats more to do with Interlinking with Noah and being able to pass Invincibility to everyone. As said, it really does not matter who is what. Outside of some slight stat differences which don’t really matter.
@@mrbubbles6468 just to add about sig. You probably want it on someone with a chain order you don't intend to lose as using the SIGs chain order will make them lose power charge
@@_Sinduss Yeah, and that also works out for Mio. If you have a Signifer, Taion and Eunie's ouroboros finisher is most likely the best one, and Mio's chain order isn't that good anyway.
@@lued123 Yes this is true. Only problems with Mio is you probably want to go Noah, Taion, Eunie. In the final non ouroboros round there is a small chance (25%)you won't get Eunie or Taion and will have to go Mio to get the ouroboros round. This is pretty minor though. Lanz is also a good choice for sig as his chain order is also pretty useless
Why not run Energy Grenade on Agnus Healers? Yah its not GOOD but it is an extra field and its not like Agnus healers have a plethora of options. (also its very funny on Trobador becuse you can get SOOO much Talent Guage with all the Art Recharge it has)
I think the reason is that most healers already have one field effect in their kit, so you would have to sacrifice/waste both a master skill (for the "All-About-Support" one) and a master art (energy grenade) slot just to activate your talent arts a bit faster...
True true, especially on a class like this one. I’m just saying that it would double the rate of Talent Charge and plenty of Talent Arts are really good. Just not a discussion I see around a lot
Well with this class you only need to use Cry of Faith once to max out your damage bonus. 30*7*2 is 420, which overshoots it by a lot. Cry of Faith is still good, but you don't need it after that, especially if you have a Sig or Troub doing a much better version of the same thing.
The pronunciation of the ‘g’ is dictated by the letter following it. In the case of vowels, it’s a soft ‘g’ (sounds like ‘j’) when followed by e, i, y. Conversely, it’s a hard ‘g’ when followed by a, o, u. Even so, Enel’s pronunciation is still wrong. He emphasises the third syllable when it’s the second syllable that should be stressed - ‘stra-TAY-goss’.

The best strategy is subscribe to the handsome lad Enel

Let it Rip!!
Would you consider doing a video of ideal party comp? Like everyone using the class their stats complement with a balanced mix of attack, defense, and offense
When it comes to superboss cheese people go for these smash builds. Look up Naz Talgic's swordfighter video.
In a non-cheesy ways I go for 3 Attackers, 2 Healers, 1 Defender. Others prefer 4 Attackers and 2 Healers.
how do you quit the animation of the talent art?
Great video enel just got this awakening and by the way are gold nopon gold coins used for anything other the gems or do they have another use I have 99 so each time I fight a unique boss just wastes it keep it up
The gold coins are used to buy some accessories but they aren't great.
Go to dannagh desert
@@archedmash9501 so it’s probably better to just buy a rank 10 gem im guessing
@@archedmash9501 alternatively you can also buy Gem upgrades. Personally that’s what I went for just because of how expensive level 10 is
Buying a rank 10 gem is the best use for them
The thing I struggle the most is which character should get which class. I don't know if the impact is to significant but there has to be some optimization in terms of fulfilling their role
I'm not sure if there is in terms of stat optimisation actually. Obviously, each character is the best with their base class, but outside of that, I haven't noticed many stat variations (for example, if I have lanz and mio as the same class, lanz has slightly more HP, and mio has slightly more agility but again, the differences are mostly minor).
@@matthewstone2319matters mostly for chain attacks with tp
where are you finding unique monsters this strong? the strongest i found was lvl 120 after completing ionios strongest
When you rematch superbosses you have to click 'challenge' to have its level increased
Will all party members be fine no matter what classes they get or do the party members have particular strenghts and weaknesses?
Some characters are better than others with classes, like all the characters are best at their specific class but otherwise it really does not matter who is what.
A character being a Class really only matters for Mio with Signifier and thats more to do with Interlinking with Noah and being able to pass Invincibility to everyone.
As said, it really does not matter who is what. Outside of some slight stat differences which don’t really matter.
@@mrbubbles6468 just to add about sig. You probably want it on someone with a chain order you don't intend to lose as using the SIGs chain order will make them lose power charge
@@_Sinduss Yeah, and that also works out for Mio. If you have a Signifer, Taion and Eunie's ouroboros finisher is most likely the best one, and Mio's chain order isn't that good anyway.
@@lued123 Yes this is true. Only problems with Mio is you probably want to go Noah, Taion, Eunie. In the final non ouroboros round there is a small chance (25%)you won't get Eunie or Taion and will have to go Mio to get the ouroboros round. This is pretty minor though.
Lanz is also a good choice for sig as his chain order is also pretty useless
Why not run Energy Grenade on Agnus Healers? Yah its not GOOD but it is an extra field and its not like Agnus healers have a plethora of options.
(also its very funny on Trobador becuse you can get SOOO much Talent Guage with all the Art Recharge it has)
I think the reason is that most healers already have one field effect in their kit, so you would have to sacrifice/waste both a master skill (for the "All-About-Support" one) and a master art (energy grenade) slot just to activate your talent arts a bit faster...
True true, especially on a class like this one.
I’m just saying that it would double the rate of Talent Charge and plenty of Talent Arts are really good.
Just not a discussion I see around a lot
Well with this class you only need to use Cry of Faith once to max out your damage bonus. 30*7*2 is 420, which overshoots it by a lot. Cry of Faith is still good, but you don't need it after that, especially if you have a Sig or Troub doing a much better version of the same thing.
Fair point, its bad in this class but
A. I meant Agnus Healers in gneral like Tacticion
and B. I can't math but I like button go brrr
@@captianblitz Yeah it's a decent option in most cases.
So this is just green dps
Tactician but better. That’s not saying much though.
What I was sure that it was pronounced stratejhos
NO LOVE LOST
Wait why is it pronounced that way when it’s derived from the word “strategy”??
The pronunciation of the ‘g’ is dictated by the letter following it. In the case of vowels, it’s a soft ‘g’ (sounds like ‘j’) when followed by e, i, y. Conversely, it’s a hard ‘g’ when followed by a, o, u. Even so, Enel’s pronunciation is still wrong. He emphasises the third syllable when it’s the second syllable that should be stressed - ‘stra-TAY-goss’.
You don't have luck. They translate strategeos in my langage
It's pronounced Strategoose :P
Wrong again lol. The correct pronunciations are ‘stra-TEE-goss’ or ‘stra-TAY-goss’.
