Every Xenoblade game is distinct from one another, but Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a far cry from anything else the series has done before. From the massive open world t🧸o the literal aliens, nothing solidifies the identity of this game like Skells, the giant mechs that make exploration and comba𒊎t a different affair entirely.

Skells are powerful beasts in thei🦂r own right, and only get stronger when you get some powerful weapons to equip to them. But what's even better than weapons you get from the store? Literal superweapons, that's what. There are a great selection of superweapons for 𒐪your SKell, so here's how to unlock all of them.

What Are The Skell Superweapons?

Skells work a bit differently from your average playable character, though that's to be expected. While on-foot combat has you equipping armour pieces and two weapons to yourself and your companions, Skells are mechs designed to pack as much weaponry as possible. So while you equip armor as well,👍 this does not apply visually. Weapons do, how▨ever.

There are multiple of each slot, including:

• Back, typically the most powerful of your weapons, and often takes up both slots.
• Shoulder, more powerful weapons with long cooldowns.
• Arm, which are usually things like swords that deal good damage with balanced cooldowns.
• Spare, which is for more utility, low-damage but quick cooldown weapons.
• Sidearms, which are your auto-attack weapons.

Every type of weapon is restricted to each of these categories, with some taking up both slots or only able to be put in the left or right ones. When it comes to superweapons though, they exist exclusively for the back and 🃏shoulder slots, and always take up both. In fact, some superweapons even take up the back and shoulder slots simultaneously, taking up four slots for just one weapon.

Like regular Skell weapons, superweapons only provide a single Art, even when they take up multiple slots. This is a testament to the꧃ir incre🎶dible power.

Each Superweapons comes in multiple fixed levels to match with Skells. These are levels 30, 50, and 60. Every superweapon is craꦯfted from a schematic, ⭕and each schematic is unlocked differently for each level.

Every Skell Superweapon And What It Does

Superweapon Stats

In total, there are 14 Skell superweapons for you to discover. They cover almost every damage type, excluding Ether, and are almost entirely damaging Arts, with a good mix betwe🀅en ranged and melee arts. Healing and Aura Arts have no representation among the superweapons, s𓂃o you must rely more on standard Skell weapons for these. Here is each of them and their various attributes.

All Superweapons occupy both Shoulder and Back slots when they are used, with Hexad-Partican and Dragoon-Lance both taking four slots.

Since the superweapons occupy so many slots and only appear for the Shoulder and Back slots, that means you can have a maximum of two superweapons equipped at a time. As such, don't drop the hunt for better Skell weapons just because you have the Superweapons. Having powerful weapons𒅌 in every other slot is important to offset the long cooldowns and high fuel consumption of the superweapons.

Superweapon Effects

Here's a slightly more in-depth look at each superweapon so you can get a better idea 🌄of exactly what each does.

Unlike regular Arts, Skells do not have Secondary and Tertiary cooldowns.

Some of the superweapons are a bit more situational, but each of them are valuable in the right ♛circu♔mstances.

Where To Find Every Skell Superweapon

Now that you've seen each of the superweapons, you can aim for the ones you actually want. Here is where each of them is found, with the vast majority acquirable before you've ev൲en finished the game.

With just one exception, every level 30 superweapon schematic is given to you as a reward for completing the base game.

All level 50 schematics are found by salvaging treasure around the world, with many of them hidden in high-level areas or in regionsꦺ only accessible with flight. That said, all of them have a place, so it's worth seekingꦕ out all of them.
