Xenoblade Chronicles 2 New Game Plus 1.3.1 - Theory evasion / agility tank setup - Keep aggro

Описание: This is an example of evasion tank Morag featuring Theory. This setup is able to keep aggro without using aggro boosting items...even against Kos-Mos doing 8 million points of damage. Normal difficulty, no pouch items, start from empty party gauge.

Theory starts the blade combo. Build up special meter. Theory does 2nd stage of blade combo. To prevent other drivers from taking aggro for the 3rd stage, Theory will do a Lv3 special right before the teammate. This "buffer" lets Morag keep aggro. In the video, it looks like Morag is about to do a Lv3 special but then it cuts to Nia's Lv3 instead. You can see this at 00:58.

Then chain attack starts.

Loadout:
Morag with 642 agility: Lv99, Weapon Arts at Lv5, level 10 ideas, filled both affinity charts, burst symbol, optical headband, katana attachment
Theory: S+, tachyon chip, affinity max attack V, outdoor attack up V
4 star TNK common blade with 24% agility mod: S+, pentagon chip, affinity max attack V, fast blade switch VI, HP attack boost V
3 star TNK common blade with 24% agility mod: S+, pentagon chip, affinity max attack V, fast blade switch VI, HP attack boost V

Note: Agility can be boosted much higher but at expense of offense and keeping aggro. As core chip stacking works again, you can get agility above 600 without using ester shoes by using pentagon chips on common blades with high agility mods. Theory keeps tachyon chip to maintain offense.

Nia: Lv99, Weapon Arts at Lv5, level 10 ideas, filled both affinity charts, burst symbol, optical headband, critical symbol
Kos-Mos: S+, tachyon chip, affinity max attack V, hp attack boost V, blade combo boost VI
3 star HLR common blade with 24% ether mod: S+, tachyon chip, affinity max attack V, shoulder to shoulder V, Hunter's Chemistry V
3 star HLR common blade with 24% ether mod: S+, tachyon chip, shoulder to shoulder V, Hunter's Chemistry V

Note: 2 HLR common blades with high ether mods help Kos-Mos to reach damage caps reliably.

Rex: Lv99, Weapon Arts at Lv5, level 10 ideas, filled both affinity charts, burst symbol, optical headband, critical symbol
Mythra: S+, moon matter chip, affinity max attack V, critical up V
Patroka: S+, affinity max attack V, HP attack boost V, critical up V
Perdido: S+, affinity max attack V, HP attack boost V,

Note: Rex's main purpose is to help with chain attacks.
