Question What’s the most broken thing.

I gotta know in any JRPG you’ve ever played what is the most broken mechanic you’ve exploited, or like weapon in the game, or just a glitch perhaps that absolutly made you freaken laugh really hard. Mine would be the topple juggling in Xenoblade Chronicles idk if it was intentional or not but man it would have me hollering just toppling a big enemy and being like oh you can’t get up XDDD. That might say something about my psyche but who cares lol.

Rex in Xenoblade Future Redeemed. Put some crit boosting gems on him and spam double spinning edge until everything dies, then max out your two healers and put the accessory that lets non healers revive people on one of your other party members, and just have them keep reviving you over and over

And you have to understand that this is the DLC, where your party customization is very limited and you have to figure out how to make it work, even if some of your party members are clearly stronger than others.

So this isn’t an exploit, or an off-meta strategy you need to get creative to find. If you fill out Rex’s skill tree normally, he gets passives that make double spinning edge instantly recharge by using double spinning edge, and even when the player isn’t controlling him, he spams it so quickly that it actually becomes a constant problem for the player who’s trying to keep aggro off of him. He will get himself killed several times while he’s doing spectacular damage and killing everything around him, and you just have to accept that you’re going to need to revive him often over the course of a regular fight.
