There are 27 classes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, split into three roles: Attacker, Defender, and Healer. And while you may think each of the 27 classes has its own set of accessories that fit it best, it's actually the role that matters more rather than the individual class.

Best Attacker accessories in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Because the Attacker role focuses on dealing as much damage as possible, picking accessories that boost the attack, accuracy, and crit rate stats is ideal. Damage is always a priority, but remember that you'll deal more if your crit rate increases and hit more often if your accuracy is boosted.

Leather GlovesIncreases accuracy when an enemy evades an attack
Assault StoneIncreases auto-attack damage
Wind Leg FrameIncreases damage dealt for the first 30s of the battle
Attack StoneIncreases auto-attack damage
Ice HeadbandIncreases crit rate
Steam BeltIncreases attack

Best Defender accessories in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

While being a Defender is self-explanatory in that you'll want to stop your party from taking as much damage as you can, there are two types of Defenders in Xenoblade Chronicles 3: evasive and tank. Focus on increasing agility and evasion if you'd rather avoid damage than soak it up like a sponge. If you prefer to tank, pick accessories that boost HP and block rate.

Best Healer accessories in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Perhaps the most important role of all, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Healer classes must ensure that their party is kept alive at all times, whether that's by restoring health, providing buffs, or debuffing enemies. Because being a Healer is crucial to success, you'll also need to keep an eye on your own HP bar and aggro status to avoid dying and leaving your team to fend for itself.
