– Dunban.

Sharla (Japanese: カルナ, Karuna, Carna; English dub: /ˈʃɑːrlə/) is one of the seven playable characters in Xenoblade Chronicles, and a medic of the Colony 6 Defence Force.

For Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Can someone convince me that other characters besides Shulk/Reyn/Sharla are good". For instance the boss in chapter 8?

So this is my first time play though and have some how avoided spoilers to this point but for some reason when I switch out and of these characters for any of the other ones I kinda suck (I'm up to riki at this point in the game).

I was so excited to see her on my first playthough, i didnt understand... She can Daze super early though? "Just use Riki" wasn't enough for healing. So naturally, people are going to suggest that new players try it out immediately, but the new players have to first realize how good chain attacks are, or they aren’t going to understand its true potential and thus die a lot to stronger enemies.

All Sharla or No Sharla. , Yall talking mad shit for someone in THUNNNDABULIT range. Agility gear on Dunban makes him pretty bulky. For instance the boss in chapter 8? she's easily the most consistent source of healing compared to "just use Riki" or "just heal off of chain attacks" which requires a lot of min/max setup.

(Or riki). ), I've been using her as a healer is the white hair girl a better healer?
