Sword Drive (ソードパイル, Sword Pile) is one of Reyn's physical Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves a quick but powerful stab with his weapon, dealing a massive amount of damage along with some knockback.
Overview[edit]
Sword Drive is the strongest non-talent art attack of all party members by a decent margin. The big damage helps Reyn generate lasting aggro rather than temporary aggro, and it's often combined with Magnum Charge for even more pain. Its main downside is its long cooldown, so Reyn doesn't get to benefit from its damage much. That said, Sword Drive's power, combined with it being a red art, makes it extremely deadly in Chain Attacks where cooldown is no issue.
