Anchor Shot is one of Rex's Aegis Sword Driver Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Overview

Anchor Shot is the first Driver Art Rex and the player get access to in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It spawns one HP Potion on the first hit, with upgrades giving it a chance to spawn two.

When Rex uses this art, he fires the anchor on his wrist at the enemy, and pulls it to perform one hit, then slashes at the enemy with his sword for the next hit.

Anchor Shot is further upgraded after a cutscene in Chapter 3, where Vandham teaches Rex how to use it to inflict Topple against a Rampaging Ardun.
