Core Crusher

Core Crusher is a in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Overview
When Core Crusher is equipped, Ether attacks will no longer do damage to appendages. However, Ether attacks will be 50%-150% stronger, meaning that overall damage will be multiplied by 1.5 to 2.5 times its usual value. This damage multiplier is independent of other multipliers, so this skill is very useful for high-damage builds.

This pairs well with the augment Appendage Crusher, because that augment directly increases damage dealt when the user is aiming at appendages. Since they no longer break, soft appendages now act as a permanent weak point for the enemy.
