Template:SpoilerX Divisions are mechanics in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are known as Unions in the Japanese version. There are eight different divisions within BLADE, each with their own objectives and support effects. Mission details can change based on Cross's choice of division, or the Division's membership of a party member. Cross is allowed to freely switch her/his affiliation while it is fixed for the other characters.
