Magnum Charge

Magnum Charge (, Bullet Charge) is one of 's support s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It multiplies the of the next art he uses, but requires and expends his entire talent gauge. If the next art is a multi-hit art, the damage bonus only applies to the first hit.

Overview
Normally, Reyn uses his talent gauge for Mad Taunt, generating a huge amount of that degrades over time. Magnum Charge is an alternate way to turn talent gauge into aggro: by dealing a large amount of damage, creating aggro that is not as large but permanent. Sword Drive is the typical thing to combo with for even more ridiculous damage. The risk is that the art used with Magnum Charge might be blocked or even miss, wasting the talent gauge entirely, compared to Mad Taunt which uses accuracy. The art's high cooldown is also problematic, making it infeasible to rely on it exclusively compared to Mad Taunt.

Trivia

 * The description of Magnum Charge is changed in the Definitive Edition from "Reyn gets fired up and his Arts damage increases." to "The user gets fired up and their Arts damage increases.". This is because Nene's Magnum Starch shares the same text.
