Monica Vandham (Japanese: モニカ・ヴァンダム, Monika Vandamu) is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is simply named Monica as a Hero or an NPC. She was designed by Masatsugu Saito, the lead character designer of the game.

Overview[]

Monica can be recruited as a Hero after completing Hero Quest Vandham's Heir. She is the daughter of Guernica Vandham, the mother of Ghondor, and the leader of the Lost Numbers.

To get Monica to Rank 20, a member of the party must reach rank 10 with the Lost Vanguard class and the quest Promise to the Future will be available in the City.

Story[]

Monica is an Elder of the City. She first meets the party at the Great Sword's Base and takes them into the City.

Gameplay[]

Monica's class is a Defender class named Lost Vanguard. In a Chain Attack, Monica starts with 30 TP by default, but the class skill Now That's Tactics! increases this by 5-10 TP. Her Chain Art is Lost Advent, and her Heroic Chain bonus will reactivate the character with the most TP and give them 15 TP on top of that if she completes a Chain Order.

Base Stats[]

These are Monica's raw stats prior to modifications by class. They serve as a baseline for calculating her stats in the Lost Vanguard class (see its page for the corresponding multipliers which adjust these stats). Intermediate values are linearly interpolated between these base stats.
