No Blades match those filters.
Nearly every Rare Blade has a personal quest, and completing it is the only way to finish that Blade's Affinity Chart. Quests unlock through a mix of story progress and the Blade's own chart — here's the pattern.
Most quests appear once the Blade's Key Affinity reaches a set level (2–5). Trust unlocks those tiers: fight with the Blade, give it pouch items it likes, send it on Merc Missions, and view its Heart-to-Hearts.
Every quest also has an earliest chapter, from Chapter 3 (Electra) to Chapter 10 (KOS-MOS). Several need Pyra or Mythra in the party, which rules out Chapters 8–9 — for many quests Chapter 7 is the practical window.
Some quests hide behind extras: a specific Heart-to-Heart, a field-skill node on the Affinity Chart, a time of day, resting at a certain inn, party members, or even a Merc Mission. Each guide page lists these under “Before you start.”
It runs both ways: completing the Blade Quest is itself the requirement for the final Affinity Chart nodes. You can't fully master a Blade without doing its quest — that's why they're worth hunting down.
Raise Trust to open Key Affinity tiers: reach max Affinity in battle, give the Blade pouch items it likes, complete quests and Merc Missions, and view Heart-to-Hearts (dialogue choices change how much Trust is gained). Completing a Blade Quest itself awards 200 Trust in almost every case.
Check both the Key Affinity level AND specific chart nodes before hunting for a quest — several quests stay hidden until a particular field-skill node is unlocked (e.g. Flames of Justice needs Godfrey's 'Justice Blizzard' Lv. 3), not just the Key Affinity tier.
Merc Missions do double duty: they raise Trust in bulk, and at least one quest (Zenobia's 'A Real Challenge') only appears after sending the Blade on a specific Merc Mission ('We Need To Talk!'). Dispatch idle Blades constantly.
For time-of-day-gated quests (Tranquility: 7:00-19:00; Lost Kingdom: 16:00-18:59), change the clock by resting at an inn or bench before skip-traveling to the quest giver's location.
Keep the featured Blade in the active party and bring field skills: quest steps frequently include field-skill checks (e.g. Shiny New Power needs Earth Mastery and Keen Eye; Flames of Justice has 'Soul' node checks; Powered-Up Poppi needs Lv. 5 Forestry and Lv. 3 Ancient Wisdom), and Heart-to-Heart/inn prerequisites often require specific party members.
