Below, you’ll find our guide on all the playable characters in the Monolith Soft JRPG, along with all the information we know on each one.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters
There are six main characters featured in Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s story. Three of them are from Agnus and three are from Keves, two opposing nations who resolve to work together to fight a common foe. The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters are:
- Noah – playable character
- Eunie – playable character
- Lanz – playable character
- Mio – playable character
- Taion – playable character
- Sena – playable character
Noah – playable character
Class: Swordfighter
Noah is an off-seer from Keves. He is an attacker and specialises in closing with the enemy and fighting them up close and up personally with his sword. The purpose of an off-seer is to send on the voices of the departed, and they play a significant role in the team’s make-up. With a determined look and long hair, he looks like he means business.
Eunie – playable character
Class: Medic Gunner
Eunie has wings sticking out of her head – what more could you want? Also hailing from Keves, her personality has a thorny exterior, but she has a sensitive core once you get to know her. Despite her toughness, she’s the team’s healer and has been friends with Noah and Lanz since they were children.
Lanz – playable character
Class: Heavy Guard
If his rippling muscles didn’t clue you in, Lanz is a rough and tumble brawler who loves nothing more than to take on the enemy at point-blank range. He’s also the childhood friend of the other Keves characters, Noah and Eunie.
Mio – playable character
Class: Zephyr
Mio is an off-seer from Agnus and can be seen as their equivalent of Noah. She’s kind, compassionate, and empathetic. She is more thoughtful, and that is reflected in role, where she is a defender rather than an attacker.
Taion – playable character
Class: Tactician
A healer from Agnus, Taion is quick thinking and sharp as a whip – in case his glasses and typical JRPG smart-boy demeanour didn’t give it away. His role revolved around being a battlefield tactician, and he takes a more logical and scientific approach to problems and differences the team faces.
Sena – playable character
Class: Ogre
Sena may seem like a small warrior from Agnus, but she worlds her giant hammer with ferocity. She has a quiet and shy personality, and she shares a special bond with Mio. She is an attacker, so you’ll find her at the front of the pack smashing skulls.
Those are all the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 characters that you can play in the JRPG. If you want to see who breathes life into them, check out our Xenoblade Chronicles 3 cast and voice actors guide. The game is also getting DLC in the form of an expansion pass.
