Master the Sparks Fly, You Die Time Attack challenge in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition! Learn strategies for each wave, enemy weaknesses, and optimal Chain Attack usage.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Wave 1
    • You'll be playing as Shulk, but remember he won't have access to Monado Eater or Armour. Your best bet here is to use his Talent Gauge solely for Monado Buster.
  2. 2
    The enemies for this wave are two Lv 65 Defensive/ONIONs and a Lv 68 Infernal Crocell.
  3. 3
    Your priority should be to take down the ONIONs first.
  4. 4
    Once they're dealt with, unleash a Chain Attack on the Infernal Crocell if you can to finish the wave quickly.
  5. 5
    Wave 2
    • This wave ramps up the difficulty significantly. You'll face two Lv 67 M57/FAITHs and a Lv 70 Revolutionary Bifrons.
  6. 6
    The Bifrons is the tougher target and has a Spike Aura, so focus on it immediately.
  7. 7
    Your strategy here is to constantly use Chain Attacks to force Topple on Bifrons, disabling its Spikes.
  8. 8
    Keep the pressure on, maintaining Topple whenever possible.
  9. 9
    As soon as a Chain Attack is ready, use it on Bifrons.
  10. 10
    After Bifrons is defeated, turn your attention to finishing off the remaining FAITHs.
Tips
  • Make good use of Monado Buster in the first wave.
  • Save your Chain Attack for Wave 2 to effectively Topple and control Bifrons.
