You can just repeat the same one over and over though, so getting all of the song missions isn't a big deal.

Getting the concerts that yield lots of fans and stamps, on the other hand, should be a priority. I think you need to get 30 of every stamp type and then max out each category of stamp one at a time for the most effective results.

Seventh, eighth, and ninth Rare Blades: Sheba, Perun, and Percy.

Both for the Scottish lady.

I hope I get Finch soon.

And hey, Lora is Captain America.

I forgot who Cole is.

Hey, the music on the Indoline ship is Refugee Camp!

Buy an instrument pouch item, then use it on her driver.

Speaking of which, it may be a good idea to spend an overdrive protocol to move her from Rex to Zeke.

One caveat I'd add is that Shulk's AI goes up at least two points once you unlock his fifth skill tree.

By far the biggest flaw of AI Shulk is not knowing that he should save his Talent Guage exclusively for reacting to visions, which becomes a complete non-issue once you get a passive skill that makes out his Talent Guage the moment a vision occurs.

No real disadvantage to him being AI at that point.

I'd also give Riki at least a 6 on Aggro. He can grab and hold it plenty well if you let him spam his Ether based arts and his support skills.

Everyone is finished.

I moved Shulk's AI to 5 (previously 4).

Also moved Melia's support to 8 (previously 7).

I attained a triple Elemental Burst for the first time: Fire, Dark, and Ice.

Workable, useless as usual, not exactly in the best situation no matter what, and workable, but works better on other drivers, respectively.

Pretty much every town has a vendor that sells them. The shop icon you're looking for looks like some piano keys.

Boreas requires money to fill out his chart, but he's nowhere near as expensive as Sheba. In fact, you can fill it out pretty quickly if you do some salvaging in Mor Ardain. I don't know who his best Driver is, but I also opened him on Morag, and he worked pretty well.

I usually only have Boreas on Nia. However, given Boreas' knockback shield thingy, Morag works well too. Both drivers have direct healing arts, which beat the piss out of anything Rex or Zeke have to offer.

Go do the old core crystal farm in Mor Ardain. You'll be picking fights with Krabbles, and before long, Vess' core crystal will be ready.

Zekenator 3 is Lv.35.

Sorry Zeke, I just defeated Vandham's Lv. 44 buddies and is currently Lv. 47 (Morag is Lv.50 but that's irrelevant). You stood no chance.

15th Rare Blade: Vess. Nia got her.

Keep going through the plot of Chapter 5, as it's all exposition until the very end (ie when you go to a new continent). You'll get Zeke on the way, and you may want to move Ursula to him.

I actually saved a bunch of crystals just for Zeke and shotgunned him to the max a couple of times trying to get good Blades for him.

Yeah, you can go on a core-opening streak too.

By the way, go to an intel salesperson and buy the Core Hunters and Greedy Monster bits. Those lead to more rare blades.
