Just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2, why the hell does this game play so slow? What am i doing wrong? I've got three party members at levels 24-25, but it can still take five minutes to kill some level 18 mook. I'm only in chapter 3, but the spider boss is easier than many of the trash mobs.
It feels like they've made another very complicated system where there are several damage multipliers that can be strung together, but to "even" things out they gave the enemies tons of health so you need to use this system to kill them quick. Took forever to figure out how to game the system they created in Xenoblade Chronicles X, but it sounds like they did the same thing again here too.
What the hell am I doing wrong? Everytime a skill is available, I use it. Every time one of those A/ZL/ZR specials is available, I use it. There's not much else you can really do, why is combat so damn slow?
I tried to look at some online guides and there's even more advanced things out there, like breaking orbs with opposite elements. Feels like the game wants you to do some strategy with your specials, but all you can do is press A/ZL/ZR when they pop up, no advanced strategy beyond that. The Break/Topple thing rarely comes up too.
