What the Interlink Soul Tree is for in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Like skill trees in other games, the progression is tied to points you earn that are then spent on the Soul Tree abilities. There are new Arts, stat boosts, overheating reducers, and more found on the Soul Tree. The Ouroboros Forms are pretty strong to begin with, but you’ll never regret upgrading them as much as possible.
How to Share Abilities Across Interlink Soul Trees in Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Each Ouroboros Form in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 can share two abilities with the form of the other character used for Interlinking. For example, Noah’s Ouroboros Form can take advantage of two abilities on Mio’s Soul Tree and vice versa. The same is true for Eunie with Taion and Lanz with Sena.
This sharing feature only works for abilities that are not related to specific Ouroboros Arts. That still leaves plenty of stat boosts and overheating reduction.
