Ooookay, that makes a lot of sense. Now I see the strategy. Before I generally used them as soon as they showed up on the screen, but I guess it's a better idea to wait a while first. Thanks for setting that straight for me.
I'm really liking the battle system as a whole this time around. I'm not quite sure it measures up to the original Xenoblade's mechanics, but it's a huge improvement from what Xenoblade X gave us. I won't lie, I could never get the hang of that battle system at all, and it didn't feel satisfying to use the Overclock Gear. At the moment I still think the Chain Attack is my favorite of the three. It was deceptively deep despite how simple it was on the surface, and if you really knew what you were doing, you could pull off absolutely insane combos.
