Division

Divisions, also known as Unions in the Japanese version, are the divisions of BLADE in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Cross can choose their own division after they complete, once they're accepted into BLADE.

Overview
The division the player joins affects the Division Points they earn, which helps with their BLADE level and the daily division ranking.

It is possible to change the player division at any time by going to the online console, going to "Division Activity", and selecting "Change Divisions". Doing so does cost Credits, though.

It is possible to get Division Support from other players if playing online with other players who happen to be in the same region, depending on the other players' divisions. This usually occurs at random intervals.

Plot
BLADE is composed of eight different fields of work, and each one has its own division within BLADE. Every BLADE gets to choose their division once they join, and each one does important work.
