[OUTDATED] XC:DE - Uniquely Disadvantaged (Free) - Guide (as of 3/20/2021)

For this Time Attack, the primary character that is used is Riki. The other characters in your party should be Reyn and Melia.

For the gear on Riki, I run a Meteor Biter with gems to increase my damage as much as possible. For weapon gems, I run Electric Plus, Attack Plus, and Attack Stability (First Atk Plus is also acceptable for the 3rd weapon gem). Armor gems are 2 Ether Up, Initial Tension, and Quick Step.

For the gear on Reyn, I run the Atomic Driver with the gems Ether Def Down, Weapon Power, and First Atk Plus. For armor gems, I run 2 Strength Up, Haste (on Glory Gauntlets), Agility Up, and Quick Step.

For the gear on Melia, I run the Sun Staff (Meteor Staff is also acceptable) with the gems Ether Def Down, Weapon Power, and Double Attack. For armor gems, I run 2 Strength Up, Haste (on Glory Gauntlets), Agility Up, and Quick Step.

For skills on Riki, I'm using Riki's Heroism Skill Tree to boost Critical Hit rate, and I'm running skills to increase Ether damage. Specifically, I have linked: Ultimate Ether, Ether Awareness, and Enlightenment from Melia; Ether Assault, Ether Expansion, Ether Explosion, and Decisive Follow-Up from Sharla; Ultimate Defense from Shulk; Battle Character from Reyn; Solid Foundation, Sustained Spirit, and Ardent Strike from Dunban; Showdown Stance, Ultimate Strike, Nimble Feet, and Opening Blow from Fiora.

For skills on Reyn, I'm using Reyn's Spirit Skill tree to boost Strength. The skills I have linked are: Adventure Time! and Pretty Stars! from Riki; Solid Foundation, Equipment Expert, Natural Born Warrior, Ardent Strike, and Invincible Hero from Dunban; Always Ready from Sharla; High Speed and Power of the Moon from Melia; Nimble Feet, Showdown Stance, Ultimate Strike, and Opening Blow from Fiora.

For skills on Melia, I'm using Melia's Serenity Skill tree to boost Agility. The skills I have linked are: Amazing Stars! and Adventure Time! from Riki; Always Ready from Sharla; Medium Equipment from Shulk; Rampage from Reyn; Solid Foundation from Dunban; Nimble Feet and Showdown Stance from Fiora.

For arts on Riki, you need Final Cross on his Talent Art; Hero Time and Shulk's Activate Monado should be his standard arts. Final Cross and Hero Time should both be level 12.

For arts on Reyn, you need Ponspector Sword Drive. No other arts matter, but I recommend having a "Talent Art" on Reyn's talent art slot.

For Melia, you need Summon Bolt. Summon Bolt should be level 12.

For Wave 1, you start by targeting the center enemy, then using Hero Time (you need Ether Up) and Final Cross. After selecting both arts, you should target the left enemy and use the "Focus your attacks" command. Melia should use Summon Bolt, and Reyn should finish off the enemy and give Riki another Ether Up buff

For Wave 2, you want to target Territorial Rotbart and walk within range of him. When you use the art, use the "Come to me" battle command, and just before the third hit connects use "Focus your attacks". This should cause Melia to use Summon Bolt as the wave ends.

For Wave 3, you want to quickly target Avalanche Abaasy and spam Final Cross while telling your allies to "Focus your attacks". If you did Wave 2 correctly, Melia should run up to Abaaasy without sheathing her weapon, and will start auto-attacking. If your allies inflict Ether Res Down, you should be able to beat Abaasy on the first hit of the third Final Cross.
