Damage taken value is a result after all mitigation calculations has taken place on the defender side. However, it can be further altered by modifiers that explicitly affect Damage taken or Damage dealt. citation neededRelated skill gems. Skill gems that specifies damage taken. We knew that Monolith Soft was working on something for the Nintendo Switch, but one of the surprise reveals at today's Switch event was that of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Not a whole lot is known.
This is an idea I've had for a while: creating an 8th party member for Xenoblade 1. But because I'm not creative, I used an existing character. So which character did I choose?

Egil
Not only are the Machina the only non-playable race, but he could've easily joined Shulk in the fight against Zanza after the two came to an understanding had he not decided to stay behind and sacrifice himself.
As for his playstyle, I figure he could work as a summoner character. In the fight against him in Agniratha, one of his main things is summoning Mechon, and there's no other character that belongs to that class, so I think that could really work.
Now let's go over his stats and stuff.
For his weapon, I figure he would attack like he does in his boss fight, with Mechon parts always surrounding him and firing an ether projectile for his auto-attack. I just don't know what I'd call that.
