This article is about Billy's gameplay in this specific game. For information on the character in general, see Billy.

This article covers the gameplay for Billy, a playable character in Xenogears. He joins the party at the Yggdrasil prior to entering the Ethos Transport Ship.

Billy's and attacks require ammo in order to use. The attacks are ether-based and do not consume ammo.

Description

Billy is the party's dedicated support and healing Ether user, lacking even one offensive Ether technique but boasting a diverse set of supportive and restorative abilities. Billy has the highest Hit% and Evade% in the party, giving him good potential to trade hits with even very difficult-to-hit opponents and avoid taking damage at all from less accurate ones, ties with Elly for the highest ETH in the party, and has good EP and ETH-DEF. However, the rest of his stats run from poor to unremarkable, with his AGI being an average 9 and HP being very low despite average DEF. Because he is so fragile it can be difficult to outfit Billy since he generally needs both a set of armor and headgear and can thus only equip one other accessory, though he luckily begins with a way to increase his own (and other party members') durability out the gate. While his Ether gun attacks can take advantage of enemy weaknesses to the four standard elements, Billy is also difficult to use against enemies who absorb or heavily resist them, and many of his Deathblows have reduced effectiveness against these enemies as a result unless they are used directly from the Combo menu.
