For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised. |
Bosses are enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. As with most games, they tend to appear at the end of a specific portion of the game and are related to the story event (directly or not, such as Missions). Bosses have unique names, can be a character or a monster, and have high stats and potentially unique skills.
There are two types of bosses. The Main Bosses have a special window frame when targeted and are only encountered during the main story, while the Secondary Bosses have a normal frame and are battled during specific Affinity or Normal Missions, although two, the Caladars and the Deva Caladar, are Story Exclusive. All the bosses have an Enemy Index entry, except the ones only fought during a Squad Mission or a Time Attack Mission, such as Neilnail Albus and Neilnail Furvus. All Main Bosses after (and including) Glennar and all Secondary Bosses are Mission Exclusive.
It should be noted that Tyrants and Nemeses are not bosses, although Volkampf, the Pursuer acts as a pseudo-boss when the party first battles it.
If the party is defeated by a boss numerous times, the player can sometimes be offered an opportunity to lower the Level of the chapter's boss by 5. The levels shown below are the initial levels of these bosses.
