Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Best Blades of Every Class (Opinion Ranking)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a plethora of fantastic blades to choose from, each of whom are unique in their own way. Whether it's the character design or the core mechanics that define their playstyle, each blade has something for everyone.
Today, we're going to be identifying the best of each of the rare blades that are obtained through ingame Core Crystals in terms of overall effectiveness during postgame content (such as the super bosses)! The best best blades of each weapon class tend to have a gimmick that brings something new and effective to the table, while still leaving enough room for experimentation. Do bear in mind that there are plans for DLC, meaning that the rankings I've given today may or may not be rendered obsolete when it comes out! Enjoy! ^^
