Casual Mode

Casual Mode is a gameplay option in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. It drastically decreases the difficulty of battles without reducing rewards or gating progress, allowing players to enjoy the story and complete any combat task with minimal effort and no penalties. If the player suffers defeat twice in quick succession, the game will suggest enabling Casual Mode, unless tutorial pop-ups are disabled.

The effects of Casual Mode include:
 * Damage done to enemies is doubled.
 * Damage taken from enemies is halved.
 * All sources of are doubled.
 * damage is reduced to 0.1x, and debuff spikes are resisted 50% of the time.
 * The typical penalties on hit rate and block rate caused by difference do not apply, if the player is underlevelled compared to the enemy.
