Incoming! (referred to as Action Battle before the game's release) is Disc 1, Track 13 on the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack, Track 5 on the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Sound Selection, and Disc 6, Track 13 on the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box.

Variations[edit]
The version of the track used in the above instances (and in the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Sound Selection) differs slightly from the version featured on the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack (and the version showcased before the game's release as 'Action Battle'). Specifically, the version used in the above has slightly different orchestral balancing, most noticeably including much more prominent strings and less prominent electric guitar at 0:39.
The version featured on the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack also plays in-game, when T-elos uses U-TENERITAS on the Indoline warrior monks during her Blade Quest Lingering Resentment.
A third variation of this track, which lasts much shorter and has a significantly more prominent drum line, plays in the following cutscenes:
- Sheba enacts her Divine Punishment upon the Nopon that swindled her in her quest, Fool's Gold.
- Zenobia launches the Thanatobeast Andraz in her quest, A Real Challenge.

Original text
各章クライマックスシーンのどこかで使われるということで、単純にかっこいい曲にしたいと思って作った曲です。シンの戦いの動きを初めて見た時かっこいい！ 早い！ と衝撃で、そこに映えるような曲にしたいと思いました。ギターは７弦ギター。どの楽器も難易度が高かったようで、演奏者の方々に「難しい！」と言われました(笑)。デモではホルンのリフはなかったですが、メタルmeetsオーケストラの雰囲気をもっと出しました。
Unofficial translation
Since this song is to be used in the climaxes of every chapter, I just wanted to make something that sounds cool. So when I first saw Jin’s fighting moves my reaction was like, “Cool!” “Quick!” and so I wanted to make the song shine just like that. The guitar that’s used is a seven-string guitar and that instrument's difficulty is relatively high. All the performers said, “It’s difficult!” haha! In the demo, there actually isn’t a riff with the horns but the atmosphere had more “metal meets orchestra” vibes to it.
