Xenoblade Chronicles X - What is Supercharge
Supercharge in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a buff that boosts the power of your next damaging Battle Art. This guide explains what Supercharge does, how to get the buff, and which enemies can use it against you.

What is Supercharge?

Increases Damage for the Next Battle Art

Supercharge is a powerful buff in Xenoblade Chronicles X that amplifies the strength of your next damaging Battle Art. However, it comes with an important limitation: for multi-hit Arts, only the first hit benefits from the boost.

The effect of Supercharge is immediately consumed once the user performs an offensive Battle Art.

To maximize your use of Supercharge, pair it with Arts that focus on single, heavy strikes rather than multi-hit combos

Buff Level Damage Increase Duration
Supercharge I 100% 30s
Supercharge II 125% 30s
Supercharge III 150% 30s
Supercharge IV 175% 30s
Supercharge V 200% 30s
Supercharge V 300% 30s

Enemies and Supercharge

List of Enemies that Can Use Supercharge

Some enemies, especially bosses, are capable of using Supercharge too. Certain foes may activate it during battle, typically when they become Enraged or Aware.

When an enemy is Supercharged, their next damaging attack gains a significant power boost, turning it into a major threat. Stay vigilant and prepare to defend or counteract when this buff appears!
