Xenoblade 3 - Warning Level
Every time a colony is liberated in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the warning level of its nation increases, and more troops are deployed on the field. Read on to learn the effects of increasing your warning level and how to increase or lower it.

List of Contents

Warning Level Effects

Soldier Deployed on the Field Increases

XC3 - Soldier Deployed Increases
As the warning level for a nation increases, the number of soldiers they will deploy on the field will also increase.

How to Check Warning Level

Found Right Side of the Menu Screen

XC3 - Keves
Kevesi Warning Level		 XC3 - Agnus
Agnean Warning Level

Check your warning level by pressing X on your controller to bring up the Menu screen. The warning level can be found on the right side of the screen.

Moebius Warning Level

XC3 - Moebius Warning Level
As you start progressing through the later chapters of the main story, the warning levels of both Keves and Agnus will combine and form into a single Moebius warning level.

How to Lower Warning Level

Not Possible to Lower

XC3 - Not Possible to Lower
Currently, there is no possible way of lowering your warning level. If you can't help doing hero quests, it's best to avoid Kevesi and Agnean soldiers if you come across one on the field.

How to Increase Warning Level

By Destroying a Flame Clock

XC3 - By Destroying the Flame Clock
Liberating and destroying a colony's flame clock will raise the warning level of the country the colony belongs. You'll only be able to free a colony by progressing through the main story quests or finishing Hero quests.

Although increasing the warning level may add up the soldiers you'll have to fight on the field, the trade-off is that you'll get powerful Heroes and unlock new classes for your party.
