Telepathy (Japanese: 以心伝心, Ishindenshin) is an Aux Core or a Skill RAM/Upgrade in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It increases the chance that a Blade Art has to be used in response to the Driver's actions by up to 100%. This effect stacks with the Blade Art activation chance boosting effects of Affinity and Trust.
The rank II variant allows for 100% activation rate on Critical Up, Accuracy Up, Nullify Reaction, Back Attack Up and Draw Aggro, regardless of Trust level. The rank V variant will guarantee the same for Arts Plus, Recharge Boost, Absorb Damage and Debuff Cancel.
The Skill RAM/Upgrade variants can be used to customize Poppi α, Poppi QT and Poppi QTπ as an Aux Core equivalent.
