It took me something like 50 legendary cores to get all of the rare blades once I started actually farming cores, Kos-mos was one of the last ones.

what is with this games weird difficulty curve

random mooks under my level out in the field kill me with ease

a single level 8 dog monster thing that's smaller than my foot just murdered everyone

and there's 3 of us

meanwhile we can fight and kill these level 20 giraffe homies, or big lion dudes no problem

we're all level 17

the game wanted to push this mmo style dps, tank, and healer early on

but the healer doesn't have a single fuckin' healing attack apparently, because the tank always dies always

You have to give the healer healing type blades. For your tank, youll probably have to play that game to make it worthwhile. I got the DLC which helped with the tank early on. IIRC...

Technically, she heals while attacking, IIRC. Also, he second special heals. For her blade, I think one of his normal attacks heals more than normal. The problem is if you have a blade on her other than healing, she might not heal because shell use a different blade thats not for healing. Some people had trouble because they kept putting non-healers on her. Which can be useful, when youre stronger...

She should have some with her default Blade, the tiger.

Beyond that, attacks are based on weapon type, which comes from the Blade. Bitball weapons are basically healing weapons, try to get some Blades with that for her. There's a few other weapon types that are primarily healing, but I forget which they are... Any Blade that's classified as "HLR" should provide her at least one healing art.
And the tank should have an art to defend and gradually heal for a bit, it actually heals quite a lot.

Note there's 4 arts for each weapon on each character, you pick 3 of the 4. The default 3 are almost always not the best combo, so switch some out for better arts, maybe.

Also, when you find the healing art, use some points to upgrade it so it heals more. That may help...

Fucking lucky!

ursulas skill heals the entire party upon swapping her in. I dont know for sure, but see if you can start her blade quest now. I believe it begins in the central part of Torigoth at night.

Although you might not be able to properly start it until you get the option to do merc missions. Thats basically all her quest is. Doing merc missions ad nauseum.

I will second trying to start Ursula's blade quest as soon as you can. I didn't get her until relatively late and didn't start her quest until even later, and it took bloody forever to finish. If you can have mercenaries working on it throughout the rest of the game, though, it'll be a lot less painful and she'll grow in power at a reasonable rate.

You need to do your Blade and Driver combos and then do your Chain Attacks. Otherwise youre just gonna be hacking away at them forever and risk them getting the opportunity to sweep your squad. How far are you?

The combat seems complicated, but its actually deceptively simple. The game just does a shit job of teaching you.

Have you been upgrading your core chips?

The game never says it but your blade arts damage is based on your auto-attack damage.

If youre regularly taking that much damage to the point of wiping, I imagine you swapped Tora out of your party for whats-his-face, right? Dont do that. Whats-his-face is dead weight. Nia should be decent enough at healing now that shes off setting damage, and you should have a good enough stock of Arts Recharge pouch items that shes throwing those out more often and Rex can Anchor Shot enough to have an emergency supply of heals just in case.

Kora came early enough for me that I had her by this point, so if things were bad, Id have Rex swap Pyra and her as needed to make sure I had options in case Nia was being dumb. Do you have any other Gauntlet style Blades? Blitzball blades are good too.

You need a legit tank until you get one of the faux healer blades who do so much damage youll always have aggro anyway, or you get Poppi super duper busted.

Dont forget to sleep at inns to grow levels. And to level your arts up. And equip items. And use pouch items. And if you ever need to see the tutorials again, go to the XC2 board. Someone there posted an imgur link to all the tutorials in the game...

Whoops! My old man brain cant keep up with all these usernames.

put Tora back in. He really shouldnt be dying this often. If he is, you might be going after too many enemies at once. I never played him and had no issues with his tanking unless I was in a battle I didnt prep for. Make sure he has a Nopon Mask as equipment so he keeps aggro, just in case. Heal as needed.

How much does one have to like XC2 for your test?
I liked it overall, but thought it had plenty of issues and poor decisions and find it to be the worst game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Would rate it 7/10 (with 5/10 being average...I don't inflate my scores)

Not sure how a game can ripoff a game that came out after it...
Nor how a main cast that's pretty 50/50 male and female all look like the all male boy band of the FF15 main characters...

I agree the soundtrack had major issues. The thing is...the majority of the songs are great, in particular the area themes for each continent.
But the NLA themes (day and especially night) and main battle themes (Black Tar, both versions) are fucking atrocious and you'll be hearing those 4 songs for like 50% of your play time.
Shame, really. XCX also has a lot of amazing tracks that get overshadowed by the horrible ones (a few others are really bad, but don't get used much at least).
