Xe-dom

Xe-dom are giant Mechanoid enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X that are native to Mira. They often act like dormant relics of the ancient civilizations but unleash powerful gravity-based attacks when approached.

Description
''Enigmatic, pilotless crafts exhumed from the Miran soil. They come in a variety of sizes, and are constructed from a kind of living metal that not even Ganglion technology can replicate. But while the particulars of the xe-dom manufacturing process remain shrouded in mystery, a lucky research mistake unlocked the secret of controlling the units.''

Their exceptional combat skills—including the ability to manipulate gravity in the surrounding area, useful for both attacking and movement—make them ideal for protecting critical Ganglion bases.

In combat
Xe-dom attack with powerful Gravity-based attacks primarily like Mega Gravity, but they can also emit powerful Beam and Electric attacks and swing their arms at enemies for Physical damage.

These enemies are typically weak to beam and electric (-25% resistance) and gravity (-50%) attacks, while resisting ether and thermal attacks by 10% and physical attacks by 30%.

It's important to be aware of one Tyrant: Go-rha, the Guardian Deity, which will reflect all damage types. Damage negation through Augments like Reflect.NEG-BEAM is necessary to fight it.

Variations
Xe-dom come in four variations depending on their color.


 * Silver Xe-dom are silver. They are primarily found patrolling the sands of Sylvalum, and drop the Xe-dom Silver Crest from their main body.
 * Black Xe-dom are black. One is found in Primordia and a Tyrant version named Nu-rhor, the Dark Deity is found in Jair Fortress in Oblivia, and it drops the Xe-dom Jet-Black Crest from its main body.
 * Gold Xe-dom are golden. They are found in Cauldros, and they drop the Xe-dom Golden Crest from their main body.
 * There is only one red Xe-dom, Du-rha, the Imprisoned. This Tyrant Xe-dom has a chance to drop the Xe-dom Crimson Crest from its main body. It is found in the Quay Hollows in southern Sylvalum.

In general, all Xe-dom drop these items:
 * from the hip-mounted cannons.
 * Xe-dom Hand from the shoulders.
 * Ancient Armor from the mantle on its back.
 * Octopus Board from the main body.
 * from the main body.
