Bleed Attack

Bleed Attack is a effect in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It grants a percentage chance that the user's will inflict  for 10 seconds, dealing extra  every 2 seconds (for a total of 5 extra hits). Unlike the debuff's normal effect, the damage done is equal to the gem's value, rather than based on the initial damage dealt.

Overview
Bleed Attack is just an extra source of damage; it can be placed on anyone who wants to deal more damage without having to worry about extra (as it's a debuff). Compared to Blaze Attack, Bleed Attack gems are individually stronger, but the total cap is significantly lower.

In the original version, Bleed Attack works against Mechon armour, dealing its full damage. In the Definitive Edition, it does not trigger at all.
