Defeating Final Chapter Bosses By Doing Nothing - Xenoblade Chronicles X
22Well, almost nothing. We take down all of the bosses in Chapter 12 without attacking them. This is achieved by using the skill Electric Flesh to passively damage the enemies and HP Rebound to survive. Electric Flesh is a skill that grants the user a 30% chance to deal electric counterspike damage to any target that hits us, once per instance of damage received. This sounds cool, but this skill is actually really trashy as it's not only terribly weak (the damage scales by 200% of the potential stat, which is rubbish), but also gated by a poor trigger rate. Skills like these make me question why they even exist when Core Crusher also does. On the defensive side, HP Rebound augments (and 1 trait) is used to passively heal us. It grants a 15% chance to heal 500 HP per instance of damage taken. This may seem pretty bad, but multiple of these augments can be used and they act independently, meaning that we can use 5 augments and 1 or more trait to trigger multiple HPR augments at once, so that's multiple 15% chances to heal per hit taken that can be triggered simultaneously.
With both of these combined, we can just sit and wait for the bosses to die as they attack us. Fortunately, this build is able to work against these enemies as they are not too powerful. A build like this wouldn't work on high-levelled Tyrants as they deal much more damage. Check out my HPR showcase video to see this defensive build work under various circumstances:
• HP Rebound Showcase - Xenoblade Chron...
We don't really do absolutely nothing in these battles sometimes. The Shield Satellis during phase 2 of the first boss is taken down with auto attacks because it would take forever for Electric Flesh to kill it. Additionally, some of the second boss' attacks are avoided by boarding and then leaving our skell (especially when our HP drops low), as they would decrease the likelihood of survival should we get hit by them. Still, we never directly attack any of the enemies apart from the Shield Satellis. If I had instead used a shield with the skill Shield Screen, it could considerably increase my odds of survival and make it possible to beat this by truly not doing anything. However, I didn't take this approach as I had only 15 battle points left (and with online gone, there's absolutely no way to get BP before chapter 12 once all classes + your level is maxed). I could've upgraded SS to Lv. 3, but I didn't want to use it under max level.
