Physical Protect is a gem effect in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It provides the Physical Protect buff for 30 seconds to start battle.

Overview

Typical fights should be mostly decided in 30 seconds, so the gem's effect will hold fairly well and make exploration safer on the whole. For longer fights such as bosses and uniques, this gem might not be the best choice, as it will wear off as the fight is probably reaching a more dangerous phase.

Crystals and cylinders

Enemy drops

The strength of crystals and cylinders dropped by enemies is random within limits. The first attribute is usually from 20% to 30%, but crystals from bosses and unique monsters are stronger, and are from 80% to 90% instead. There is also a 25% chance to get a better crystal, which ranges from 32% to 40% normally, or 92% to 99% for bosses and uniques. If there is a second attribute, its possible range is equal to half the range of the first attribute (for example, if the first attribute's range is 20%-30%, the second's will be 10%-15%).
