Xenoblade Chronicles 3 features three main class types that you can choose from to create your party composition. They are the Attacker, the Defender, and the Healing classes.
The Ogre hails from the Attacker class and loves to crush enemies using great hammers. They tend to be one of the more aggressive classes in the game with a large focus on doing devastating blows at the cost of minimum healing and defensive stats.
The following guide will explain all there is to know about the Ogre class in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
How To Unlock The Ogre
Since the Ogre class is the default class of Sena, which is one of the starting main characters of the game, we already have access to the Ogre Class from the beginning.
If you, however, wanted to use the Ogre class with another Character, you’d first have to progress through the game enough where you can unlock the ability to change classes.
The ability to change classes will be unlocked as you progress through Chapter 2 of the game, particularly after completing the “The Hillside Hulk” Quest. This quest is part of the main story, so it would eventually be unlocked as you play the game.
Once the quest is complete, you’ll unlock the ability to change classes, at which point, you would be able to use the Ogre class with other Characters.
Best Ogre Class Characters
There are two characters that rank at the top when we talk about the Ogre Class – Sena and Lanz. Of these two, Sena is unlocked by default, but Lanz is unlocked later on in the game.
Additionally, you could also use the Ogre Class with Noah pretty well because of his high Dexterity Stats.
