The DLC, however, gave Mythra some useful niches. While "Crit-Heal" note using an Avant-Garde Medal and Massive Melee Mythra to heal through critical hits is the most popular Mythra loadout, it's fallen victim to Power Creep with other Blades such as Fiora doing the same but much better.While Power Creep has introduced some Blades that are even more broken than Mythra, such as Corvin and Fiora, she remains a staple on most teams throughout the postgame (let alone the story) due to her ease of access, note being a story Blade obtained early on and the deuteragonist along with Pyra, ease of use, and general popularity. She's also the only Blade in the game who can reliably pull off a solo Blade Combo in the early-mid game note Technically, so can Pyra, and later Brighid, by mid-game, but their Blade Arts and Battle Skills are inferior to Mythra's in the Post-End Game Content, with the right load-out (such as a few accessories that heal or charge the Party Gauge upon a Critical Hit), it's possible to solo Superbosses with her and Rex. It also means allies don't have to run Night Vision to hit red level enemies like in the first game. However it's "Foresight" that really takes the cake of being strong, due to increasing accuracy and evasion at 50% to the entire party at Max Affinity, as it virtually allows Mythra and the entire party to be almost entirely unhittable with some Common Blades that increase agility each by 25%, especially when used with Shulk's "Monado Speed". Combined with a Core Chip boosting Critical Hits (the "Moon Matter Chip" being the best choice, but basically any that increases the chance of scoring a Critical Hit will work) and Aux Cores with similar effects, players will endlessly spam Rex's Driver Arts and Blade Specials whenever Mythra is in play, making her not only capable of dealing the most damage-per-second, she'll be out-damaging the rest of the party's Blade Specials just with Driver Arts alone and most notably allows her to spam her level 3 special "Lightning Buster" that pierces enemy defence and does extremely high damage output. On top of her semi-unique element of light (since KOS-MOS and several Downloadable Content Blades also have it, while Poppi can be customized to have it), her Blade Art and Battle Skills make her ridiculously powerful: the ever-useful "Recharge Boost" allows Driver Arts to recharge faster, " Critical Up" is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, "Glint" further boosts Mythra's Critical Hit ratio, "Lightspeed Flurry" means that upon landing a Critical Hit, a portion of the recharge for Rex's Driver Arts or Blade Specials is shortened from 20% at level 1 of her Affinity Chart to 100% at level 5. Mythra is, bar none, one of the best Blades in the entire game, befitting the Aegis's "first" form and a mandatory one at that.Although Pyra is decent but not spectacular in regular combat, she adds yet another tool to Rex's Aegis toolbox and provides Mythra with more options, whether they're Fusion Combos or simply as a stat-boosting reserve. But the best part is role compression because Pyra and Mythra share a party slot, there's no need to make space for another Blade such as Crossette if the player is already using Mythra, and Pyra and Mythra can also switch between each other freely and instantly. 3 Aux Cores, and she can hit the damage cap very easily with a well-timed Blazing End during a Driver Combo, whether as a first-stage or second-stage option (such as Volcano). Equip her with Fusion Combo Up and Specials Lv. III Blade Special, Blazing End, boasts an additional boost of 85% to its own critical damage. When maxed out, her "Resplendence" Battle Skill boosts her Blade Combo damage by 72%, while her "Flaming Edge" Skill increases her critical damage by 50%. But Pyra also has one specialty in which she outperforms her sister: Fusion Combos. While Pyra is generally overshadowed by Mythra as a general-purpose Blade, her mere existence means she can serve as a free stat boost for Rex if he has Mythra equipped, such as with an Amethyst Core Chip to boost his agility and a free slot for Hunter's Chemistry to boost your Blades' Affinity.These are the best in the Damager, Healer, Tank categories. With more than 35+ Blades available in the game, many range from either being incredibly strong or performing poorly. NOTE: because of the number of Blades available in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, there may be some unmarked spoilers regarding their acquisitions and mandatory appearance down the line.
