Mechanoids are a category of enemy in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It includes all enemies of a mechanical or artificial nature. They are commonly used by the Ganglion and other antagonists. Some common Mechanoids are adversely affected by weather. During electromagnetic storms, energy mist, or rising energy mist weather, these Mechanoids cannot detect by sound. The living metal Mechanoids (Fal-swos, Oc-servs, and Xe-doms) are unaffected, though.
