Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the next title of the Monolith Soft license and its release takes place on July 29, in a month. We will therefore return to some of the protagonists who are present there, starting with Noah.
Mio, soldier of Agnus
Mio is among the soldiers of the named nation Agnus. She is also one of the members of the protagonist group that we play in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Just like Noah, its first appearance dates back to the Nintendo Direct of February 2022. We see her alongside Noah, but also with her comrades who are fighting. It is important to specify that Mio is also one of the few people to whom the role of soul smugglers (also called “Okuribito”). Thus, she and Noah can play the flute in order to help the souls of the deceased on the battlefield reach heaven. Within your adventure, she will be accompanied by taion and Sena before joining the other protagonists.
Since the reveal of the game, we have had the right to a multitude of announcements, whether via trailers or tweets concerning the characters and therefore inevitably, we have been able to learn more about the young Mio. 19 years old, she has a personality that is both gentle and serious. Among the things to know about Mio is the fact that she draws her hope from others. She still has her own concerns, including the fact that she too can live ten periods and in the latest trailer released during the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct, we discover thatHe has three months left to live before the famous ceremony.

Mio, a formidable fighter in agility
Now that we have learned a little more about her, it’s time to see what she gives in combat. And yes, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is also a game where you have to take hits or dodge them. For this, the young woman is not doing too badly since she has an agility allowing her to dodge blows quickly. Armed with her rings, she will not hesitate to take over to attract the attention of your opponents and above all to relieve your team of a burden when you have characters in need of care.
Thanks to his classZephyr“, Mio will be a strong protector that will be very useful against strong enemies such as bosses or unique monsters. His main strength lies in his ability to dodge enemy attacks. To help her keep the aggro, she can use her named Art “Butterfly Edge” which refocuses the blows your enemies will deal to your other members on her. If targeted, Mio can use her skill Air Fang which inflicts more damage if the latter is targeted. With such agility and management of dodges, Mio will therefore be an option not to be overlooked, especially when we see what a dodge-oriented tank gives in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with morag. She can also use the interlink to merge with Noah to become an Ouroboros in your battles.
- Role: tank
- Class: Zephyr
- Weapon: Rings (Chakram)
- Form a duet with Noah
- Specificities: dodge, taunt
Also note that like the other five protagonists, she can change class and role.
Mio, Nia’s replacement in Xenoblade Chronicles 3?
If you have played Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you must remember Nia who is the first to join you in your quest to Elysium. If we tell you about her, it’s because there were rumors that she was the person who seems to be leading Agnus in the next installment of the license, but that’s not what interests us here. In reality, we will rather see how Mio could be the “replacement” of Nia in this Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Already, the first point which is notable is at the level of his hair, as you could see, both have ears which are quite similar. The second point to which we return is the choice of weapons, because even if their roles are indeed different, they have the same type of weapons, namely the Chakram.
So of course, these are small details that do not mean much and it is possible that they have no connection. In any case, they will not have the same personality, that is a certainty. Finally, if you were waiting for an answer from us on the fact that she could be the one who will have a similar place in the hearts of the fans, it is difficult to say at the moment nevertheless, her story could reserve surprises. and change the game who knows?
