XC2 core crystals

Xenoblade 2

so I'm a complete idiot and just realized after 16 hours in the game that you can bind core crystals to get more blades. you can imagine the frustration of only having access to the stock elemental blade types for this long, because I was extremely limited in combo execution. I kept asking myself for a while, "when the hell is this game going to introduce an electric type blade??"

I have a stockpile of 30+ common crystals and a few rare. I bound some and got a few generic blades but I also got 2 unique ones.

now I'm curious, should I burn through them all right now? is there any reason to hold on to them?

I'd go ahead and use most of them; maybe leave a few in reserve so you have some ready when you get new characters. Be sure to spread them out amongst your characters.

Don’t bind that many to Rex. Won’t explain why, but I’d put most on characters 3 and 4.

I only have 2 characters I can bind to so I'm gonna hold on until I get more.

If you have boosters, don't waste them on Common Crystals. And don't use Overdrive Protocols on Common Blades.
