Rex using Auto-Attacks
Auto-Attack is a battle mechanic in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. During battle, party members will automatically perform Auto-Attacks while within range of the targeted enemy with their weapon drawn. Characters cannot Auto-Attack while swimming or moving.
Auto-Attacks are delivered in sets of three attacks of increasing power. Each of these attacks may consist of one hit with a single weapon, or two hits with dual weapons such as Twin Rings or Dual Scythes.
Each successful auto-attack fills the Recharge Gauges of Driver Arts by a certain amount, allowing the Arts to be used when the gauge is full.
Auto-Attacks can be canceled by moving, reviving an ally, switching Blades, or using an Art or Special. Executing an Art, Special or Blade Switch at the precise moment an Auto-Attack connects is called a Cancel Attack, which increases the Art or Special's effectiveness and causes its recharge gauge to fill faster afterwards.
