Topple is a mobility Debuff 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 or dodge attacks for a few seconds. Additionally, they will take 50% more damage from attacks (additive with most other damage bonuses). 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, playable characters have a voice line to warn others that they've been toppled, but unlike in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, there is no way to pick up toppled characters.

The Stagger effect can make characters vulnerable to Topple, but unlike Break in other games, Stagger is not required to inflict Topple.

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. However, it should be noted that Stagger removes Topple resistance, so players should also get Resist Stagger or Resist.STAGGER to deal with enemies that can inflict both statuses, like Luciel, the Eternal.

Many enemies are resistant to Topple, but the skill Topple Topper will reduce enemy resistance to the status. Topple can be extended using the skill 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 Decoy 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.
