Topple (XC1)

The future doesn't belong to you!
For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

An enemy who's been inflicted with topple.

Topple is a status in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It causes a targeted enemy to fall down and removes its resistance to Daze. When a target is down, it cannot dodge and thus all attacks against it have 100% accuracy. Furthermore, against a toppled target, critical damage is increased by 25% and all ether attacks will always land critical hits. When hit with a topple art, an enemy will remain toppled for three seconds; if hit with another topple art within that time, the time will be extended. Arts that inflict topple are colored green. Some enemies have a topple spike, which damages or debuffs party members that attack the enemy while it is toppled.

Tips[]

All Mechon, including Faced Mechon, have a 50% longer topple duration (i.e. 4.5 seconds).
Some end-game enemies such as the Superbosses have a 50% shorter topple duration (i.e. 1.5 seconds).
The duration of a topple on an enemy stacks with every topple art applied. Through a strategy usually referred to as "topple locking," a player can keep an enemy toppled for an entire battle.
