A Driver can have up to three Blades equipped and may switch between them in battle as the situation warrants. Instead of an Art palette, Arts are assigned to the face buttons of the controller. These Specials deliver a powerful attack and feature four levels of intensity (from I to IV). Executing Arts, in turn, will fill up the Special gauge. Arts are divided into Driver Arts and Blade Arts.

Unlike in the previous games, Arts must be built up over time through auto-attacks. Blades appear as characters on the field, although they cannot be controlled directly, and establish a tether to their Driver while supporting them during combat. In this installment, playable characters are called Drivers, and they are supported by weaponized lifeforms called Blades, which determines their currently wielded weapon and available arts. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 uses a similar approach to gameplay mechanics as Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X, such as the freedom to explore the world of Alrest, the ability to run to virtually anywhere seen in the distance, and the return of a Arts battle system which involves both auto-attacks and a cooldown timer for each Art.
