Melia Weapons

Discover the top 3 weapons for Melia in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition! Learn where to find the Ether Burst, Meteor Staff, and Sun Staff, and their stats.

Hey there! So you're looking to deck out Melia with some sweet gear, huh? Let's dive into the best staves she can wield in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. We'll cover where to snag 'em and what makes them tick.

Top 3 Melia Weapons

Ether Burst

First up is the Ether Burst. You can snag this one from a chest located in the First Sanctum on Prison Island. Stat-wise, it's rocking an auto-attack damage range of 510-530. It doesn't offer any Physical Defence, but it does give you a nice boost of 25 Ether Defence. Plus, you get a solid 20% Critical Rate, though it doesn't add any extra Block Rate. Like the other top Melia weapons, this staff comes with 3 gem slots. This is a great pick if you're aiming for a high Critical Rate percentage and a decent auto-attack damage range, with a little bit of Ether Defence thrown in.

Meteor Staff

Next, we have the Meteor Staff. You can find this beauty by defeating the Frost Nebula in Satorl Marsh, or by taking down the Resplendent and Opulent Flamii in Colony 9. This staff boasts an auto-attack damage range of 510-610, which means it has the highest potential max damage out of all the top weapons. However, it offers no Physical or Ether Defence. It comes with a 15% Critical Rate, but no boost to Block Rate. Just like the other top Melia weapons, it also features 3 gem slots. The Meteor Staff is all about that wide damage range, so your auto-attacks can really vary. It's not the best choice if you're looking for defensive stats or Block Rate, but it truly shines when you want to focus on raw auto-attack damage and a good Critical Rate percentage.

Sun Staff

Finally, let's talk about the Sun Staff. You can get this one from Nebulae found on Prison Island, or by defeating the Stormy Belagon and Lograt Kromar in the Eryth Sea. The Sun Staff offers an auto-attack damage range of 520-560, giving it the highest minimum auto-attack damage among the top 3 weapons. What really sets it apart is its defensive capabilities: it provides 50 points of Physical Defence and 50 points of Ether Defence. It also comes with an 18% Critical Rate and a 15% Block Rate. As you can see, this weapon is much more defensively oriented than the others, thanks to its increased Block Rate and high Physical and Ether Defence stats. And yes, like the other two best Melia weapons, it also has 3 gem slots. The Sun Staff is a really well-rounded choice, offering a solid mix of defence and damage. It even edges out the Meteor Staff in Critical Rate and adds that valuable Block Rate to the mix.
