How to Switch Heroes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3?
In the Hero Selection menu, you can pick which heroes will join your party in combat. You can only have one hero in your party at a time, so pick wisely based on the strength of the enemy you expect to encounter.
This has not been confirmed officially, however it appears that heroes cannot switch classes. This means you have no choice but to continue in the course to which they have been assigned. While Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s main classes can be switched out, any of the hero classes can be used with the main characters. This can be accomplished by keeping them in your party long enough to gain access to that class for one of your main characters.
How to Recruit Heroes in Xenoblade Chronicles 3?
To recruit heroes to your team, you simply need to find them and ask them to join your side. However, you may first need to complete one or more of their associated quests or defeat them in combat.
