Aren't the things you need to swap blades really limited though? I read that there's only like 5 or 6 total.

IIRC you can farm them late game. I'll check and edit. I pretty much awakened everyone on rex cause he had the best values so a higher chance of rare blades and then just transferred some to other people. You can also farm blades so eventually you can get everyone if you are patient. I was still missing a few of the rarer ones after opening hundreds. Theres also a few exclusive to new game+.

Ok just checked, you can get an overdrive protocol (the item needed to switch one) every time you max out a 4 crown common blade and release it. Late game once your mercs are maxed out you can do this relatively quickly. Theres also 3 you can find, some you get for having the DLC, and you get 1 each for completing a main characters affinity chart.

So late game you could probably farm about 4 in 2 hours. You won't just want to switch blades back and forth all the time but if you decide you don't like where one is, it's not a big deal to farm some up later. I also think you may be able to get some for completing DLC arena missions but I'm not sure. I just know I switched around quite a few and never ran out.

So basically the rarity of these items is only really an early-mid game problem. Maybe do some of your early awakenings spread out so everyone gets 3 rares.
