finally I get an idea on how to do some decent combo. thanks^, I'd assume that the same rules apply to Skells as well?
the game doesn't even try to explain most of the Overdrive mechanics.

Just walked into Oblivia for the first time. Looked so cool, then I got to the bottomless looking pit.. I just stood there looking around taking it all in. Just amazing.
As I'm exploring, looking around at the landscape, the indigens, it starts raining some sort of acid rain.. So I think "Damn I guess I better fast travel back to somewhere safe". But I decided to look around a bit more and I stumbled unto a cave.
Well I might as well explore it to get out of the rain.
I'm so glad I bought this game. I love it.
And fighting Tyrants is the best! The music is awesome, makes it feel so epic!

As far as I can tell Skells' overdrive time extensions are completely RNG just like the cockpit view is.

My favorite mini game in this game is Indigen Dodging. There will always be bigger and badder threats and having to dodge them successfully whenever youre running across the continent makes traveling a lot more enjoyable.
I give myself a high five if I can make it to a goal without getting into any battles.

The journey to the Northeastern part of Oblivia is an intense journey, wow.
Thanks! Also what set up did you have when beating Rexoskell at ground gear in the definian downfall mission? Cant even harm the thing.

Comboing yellow arts together gives you a Class EXP boost and comboing orange arts together gives you a normal EXP boost.
That said, I haven't mastered Overdrive without the Ramjet Rifle. >_>
so I got a G2 buster for my lvl 30 heavy, along with drones on the back and the L-missile (or whatever it's called, the one that has extra blaze damage). I'm just annihilating everything up to +10lvl enemies haha. got cocky and went for a tyrant though which didn't turn out so well.
this is such a huge step up from where i was not long ago. will i be overpowered now within main story/affinity missions? or does the game expect that I'm going to be upgrading like this?

Lots of weapon with mechanoid slayer, armor with electricity and ether resistance mostly, and I engaged the fight with an overdrive directly to take out her appendices as fast as possible
You will most likely destroy the main story. I know I did.
I'm considering restating my game again. I'm over 115 hours in (35 hours into post game).
Right now doing bunch of normal and affinity quests I'm very overleveled for and grinding out reward tickets/materials to get new Superweapons&Skells.
During my normal run I made a lot of mistakes. It took me too long to properly understand the mechanics, I stuck with the name Sniper/Lance class for the majority of my time, I left a lot of normal/affinity missions for the post game (which is a mistake), and botched a few side mission choices (poor Carl).
I guess I should just get on with it but I dont know if I want to give it all up and restart again (it's a long as time before skells). And yes I know I can just make a new profile therefore new save but If I end up spending as much time on that profile as I have with this one I'd rather have it on my main profile.
Anyone else in a similar situation?

Yeah theres a ton of really high level stuff up there. Frustrated me a bunch until I got the skell.
Will try that thanks7

Considering I'm still trying to wrap this shit up in a timely manner (lol) and move onto Trails of Cold Steel nooooooooooo
But I get your point, the scariest part of XCX is that it gives a lot of incentive to replay and try out alternate takes on normal missions.

Thanks so much for this. I think I'll be doing
Green > Orange/Yellow > Purple > Blue > Green
That gives me

I've stopped equipping my team members with arts that use 200 fuel, but they still chew through their fuel so quickly.
Is there really no way to tell them to drive more eco-friendly? >_>

Can’t stump the diablos
No reason to give your entire team skells unless the mission demands it. I usually only have my main on an OP skell.

That's waaaayy too much micro managing.
I finally hit 50 and am ready to purchase a new skell and have already farmed a level 50 G2 buster and the phoenix. Are there any other must have weapons or any recommended skell builds? Is there some overpowered set I should be farming or a certain combo to buy from the vendor to plow through chapter 12?

Try enemies of the same type around level 30. I forget where exactly is a good place for level 30 stuff but any of the ganglion bases you've been to recently ought to have robots.
Looks like we're at 161k for NA!
I swear it was only at 150k-ish yesterday. At this rate it should reach 500k worldwide easily! It'd be nice if it could get to a million but that'll probably be tough.
Also I'm loving all these quests involving interactions between different alien species. Just did a really simple one involving a Ma-Non and a
becoming friends and it was just really adorable haha.

Look for nodes with sightseeing spots
If you want a good solution here is a spoiler:
Remember that you have to find the sightseeing spots for it to work.
I will probably do the same but an another account so I can befriend my first char, hahaha.
Well, I've really got the hang of it now. The end level Jaguar skills come in handy. I'd recommend going down that road if you want to build exp. I can easily chain long strings with the multiple hit melee arts. Blood sacrifice gives you 1000 TP a pop... And you can throw out three in a row - indefinitely extending your overdrive when you max it out.
So I think I understand everything about how to make the ares 90 except for the part where I have to do squad missions for tickets. I've got everything else in place except for that.
Something about recruiting lv60 and level 1 blade level recruits and getting medals. This shit is flying over my head.

So I finally began chapter 10, and it was so easy it wasn't even funny. All I had to do is use my trusty G2-Buster whenever it was available and I'd be trashing the boss' appendages in matter of seconds, with cockpit views making things even crazier. I almsot feel like Saitama, beating all missions centered in combat with my overpowered AoE weapon. Only tyrants pose a challenge to me, and mostly because they often have so much HP that they can actually tank multiple G2-Buster strikes.
I've also recruited Celica and stole her dress as fashion wear for my character, while I gave her some other light clothes to keep her in-theme as well as a flower headgear I got from a mission. She's become a somewhat stable character in my party now since I'm planning to attempt her affinity quest as soon as I'm done with chapter 11, which I haven't started yet.
Playing affinity missions that don't require a fourth party member is always really weird since they're always standing even further away from your team than Tatsu and don't even get a single line, sadly (neither spoken nor written).

Its not squad missions, is scout a lvl 60 player.
You don't need to do that.
The diference between a lvl 60 player and a lvl 1-9 player is that when you get it to max Scout level it gives you 15 tickets instead of 1.
But you can level a level 1-9 to max with a single lvl 40+ enemy.
What I did was:
-Scout 3 lvl 1-9 players
-Warp to 406 killed all purge in there, to get my GBuster and my Phoenix weapons
-Warped back to the city, released all of the scouts
Rinse/Repeat
This gave me a lot of blade medals, and enough gear to farm the global nemesis.
So tell them to get out of their skells when in a fight. You can also start a fight outside of your skell and get in after that, the other members will stay out.
Anyway, after trying the final (I think) fight I decided to grind enough money to equip my whole team with lv. 50 skells. I just hope it won't take another 90 hours.
I didn't even know Cold Steel would be releasing so soon. Will I be able to play it without having played Trails in the Sky?

Are you trying to brag? We already went over this, you are overleveled and overgeared.

I'm using only light skells, and I put boost.eva and/or spec.eva in every slot. I have 3 light 50 skells with 350+ evasion each. Anything lvl 64 or lower hits me once in a blue moon and I can take on a few lvl 70/80 tyrants.
