Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a role-playing video game featuring a variety of monsters. To defeat these monsters, you will need several abilities and skills. Chain attacks are one of the best character arts that combines three characters against enemies. While this attack can deal maximum damage, it can be a little tricky to use. Don’t worry, here is our guide on how to unlock and perform chain attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
How to unlock chain attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
- You can unlock chain attacks by defeating the monster Gyanna Aspar during Riku and Manana’s standard quest in chapter 2.
- Once you defeat the monster, you will unlock and be able to perform chain attacks.
- But before you can use this attack, you need to charge and fill the chain attack gauge or meter.
- Although this gauge is not displayed, it does appear in the lower right corner of the screen during combat.
- We offer to fight against elite and unique types of monsters to charge the gauge.
- You can land multiple combos, role-play and cancel arts attacks against your enemies to fill the gauge.
How to perform a chain attack
Follow the steps below:
- You can use and perform a chain attack after filling the scale. Press the (+) button to start a chain attack.
- When the attack starts, wait for the animation and choose one of the three chain attack orders.
- But these chain orders will be random based on your current group.
- If your group has a hero, the chain can also include a hero.
- After choosing an order, check the bonus for completing each order.
- Then choose one card from the three chain orders to choose the first chain attack.

- When the battle starts, select the remaining party members in the lower left corner of the screen. You can see Tactical Points (TP) above their icons.
- Now we need to fill up the chain counter using these tactical points.
- If the TP is above 100%, you can deal a lot of damage to your enemies.
- If the meter doesn’t empty after one round, another round of chain attack will begin.
- But your characters may not be available since you have already used them during the fight.
- Alternatively, you can use defender characters as they can be re-activated with more TP for the next chain order.
That’s all about how to unlock and perform chain attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
