Reyn/Gameplay

Reyn
Joins	Mechon Wreckage Site (Colony 9) (temporary) Weapon Development Lab (Colony 9)
Role	Armour tank, physical damage

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

Reyn is the second party member in Xenoblade Chronicles (discounting the prologue). He is the game's armour tank; his job is to maintain the enemy's aggro by powering through the attacks aimed at him. While he has the option of dealing damage to initially get his aggro, he also has several ways to generate aggro via other means. As Reyn levels up, he obtains Battle Arts that allow him to inflict very high amounts of damage, making him effective as the party's main source of damage in the endgame and postgame.
