I just realised, in Leverage: Redemption S2 Ep 3 they had the character named Tam play a character named River in the esports online game they're playing it's River Tam it's a Firefly reference!!! 😻 AGE OF THE GEEK BABY!

I decided to categorize every Blade in Xenoblade 2 based on how you get them, and roughly how good they are (big spoilers for a handful of these, so tread carefully).

To explain a few of these that might be more contentious: all of the Poppi forms have their uses when you're playing as Tora even though QTpi is obviously the best one by far and Alpha and QT are a lot worse by comparison (also the Sprit Crucible Elpys on its own justifies using Alpha and QT wholesale). I don't usually like using Blade Nia over Driver Nia personally, but she's the best healer in the game by far if that's what you're looking for. Roc has a Smash art which is really useful on Rex throughout the whole story, even if he's completely unremarkable otherwise. Pandoria is only remotely good in NG+, though I could see an argument for putting her in the above tier on the basis of her being a free Launch art for Zeke. Poppibuster, Theory, and Praxis are all mediocre, but they get the job done better than most of the gacha blades. Agate is just Dagas but worse, but if she's all you've got then she's absolutely worth using. Ursula is not good in combat, but the Merc Missions you get for her quest are a godsend for raising Blades quicker and I was really annoyed that I didn't pull her on my last playthrough for this reason. Harold is just Kos-Mos but worse, but the fact that Harold is guaranteed with like five minutes of item grinding compared to Kos-Mos's 0.1% pull chance, I think her usefulness goes without saying.

I think this is interesting to look at because it really goes to show how you don't need the gacha system to get by in this game. Even if you have absolute garbage luck, you're still guaranteed to get good blades through other means, especially if you have the expansion pass. Really it just speaks to why, even though it's not ideal, the gacha system doesn't really harm the game a lot in my opinion and only really becomes an issue if you're trying to get every blade (which is also entirely within the realm of possibility!! I and many others have done it).

I made this for a Secret Santa for a workmate who I knew was also a fan of these books.

Self-drafted (fonts largely borrowed from Lord Libidan, then modified); skeletons courtesy of my husband’s Warhammer hobby, in the geekiest collaboration I’ve participated in.
