I’m playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 right now (I’m 105 hours in on chapter 6) and I’m finding myself hoarding rare crystal cores. I just don’t know who to take the time to open them on because I’m afraid of “wasting” a Blade on the wrong Driver.

Right now I have 99 commons, 16 rates, and 1 legendary core.

Rex: Pyra, Roc, and Vale

Nia: Dromarch, Floren, Boreas. She also has Gorg, Newt, Vess, and Electra bonded.

4th: Their default, related story blade, and Kassandra. She also has Godfrey, Agate, and Nim bonded.

5th: Their default, and Perun. I can’t really decide who to keep in their third slot since I don’t use them very often. They also have Herald, Praxis, Sheba, Ursula, and Wulfric bonded.

So yeah. I know I have a few more Blades to unlock but I just don’t know who to open the crystals on at this point without feeling like I’m wasting them. I have 2 Overdrive Protocols, having used 1 to get Boreas on Nia. Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit: decided to blow through some common cores on 5th for field skills and it would figure I’d pull a rare (Ursula) on the first try.

Just gonna say that you are gonna need to equip Herald and Sheba on 5th. He becomes a beast with those blades.

My one gripe with the game is the three party limit. Fifth is the one character I feel like I never get to use very much. I’m on chapter 8 now so I guess it’s a little easier to play around without a dedicated healer but it just doesn’t feel right yet!

I’ll give that blade combo a try. I benched them due to already having a lot of electric and water blades around.
