Class (XCX)

Classes are a battle mechanic in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Each party member's combat style is determined by their Class. While most playable characters have a set Class, the player character can change Classes after mastering previous ones.

Classes determine the party member's set of melee and ranged s, the number of Slots and provide boosts to certain stats. Through increasing the Class's Rank, the party member learns specific s and Skills. When reaching the maximum Rank of 10, the Class is mastered and other Classes may be unlocked. When mastering fourth-level Classes, the corresponding melee and ranged weapon type can be used in any other Class.

Characters other than Cross cannot change their class. Although their class names are shared with those Cross can learn, they are unrelated and can have different stats, arts, skills, number of skill slots, and even weapons. If a playable character uses a different weapon than his class name would usually suggest, an '+' is added to the name.
