Topple (XCX)

Topple is a mobility in Xenoblade Chronicles X. The character will be toppled, opening them up to further attack.

Overview
When a player or enemy is Toppled, they will be left unable to move for a few seconds. If they are flying in a Skell, Topple will cause them to fall. This can sometimes still happen during a player Skell's Cockpit Time. Additionally, they usually have a unique voice line like "I didn't trip, they tripped me!"

The Stagger effect can make characters vulnerable to Topple, but unlike Break in other games, Stagger is not required to inflict Topple. Enemies inflicted with Topple will be unable to dodge hits and they will take more damage.

On foot, Topple can be prevented via the Armor augment Resist Topple or the skills Stand Strong (with a Shield) and Unstoppable (while sprinting). While in a Skell, Topple can be prevented via the Skell Armor augment Resist.TOPPLE.

Many enemies are resistant to Topple, but the Topple Topper will reduce enemy resistance to the status. Topple can be extended using the Long Topple, and Melee Arts do more damage if Dirty Fighter is equipped.

Additionally, the effects of Topple: Barrier and Topple: Decoy grant a chance of activating Barrier and respectively when the user is Toppled.

By enemies
Some Arts will only Topple flying Skells, while not causing problems for grounded fighters. Additionally, Luciel, the Eternal has a unique passive skill that lets it Topple anybody with any attack. This usually requires a resistance of 200 to fully nullify thanks to its high level.
