So, if you are wondering if a hero dies during combat, will you lose them permanently in Xenoblade Chronicles 3? The answer to that is No! You don’t lose heroes that die during combat—you only lose heroes who are meant to die as the game’s story progress. 

For example, Cammuravi is one of the heroes who join your party in the early game, only to die during Chapter 4. So, make sure you fully utilize the heroes while they are in your party. You won’t know when you might lose them.
