Moreover, as with Phantasy Star tradition, players of PSO2 also have the opportunity to select one Main Class and one Subclass. That way, players don't necessarily have to make alternate characters just to try out different Classes and skill formulas. Updated July 2, 2021 by Rhenn Taguiam: Unlike other MMORPGs, Phantasy Star Online 2 gives players the opportunity to tap into not just one but all of the available Classes to mix and match different builds. However, with nine classes to choose from in PSO2, just what should newbies choose? Thanks to the ARKS' versatile class system, players can equip themselves with the right abilities and weaponry to take on the many threats they face in their journey. RELATED: 5 Sci-fi Games We're Looking Forward To In 2020 (And 5 We're Not)Īdditionally, this system ties in perfectly with the game's plot. After all, in PSO2, the player has to explore the cosmos with other explorers in the ARKS organization. However, being an intergalactic explorer has its perils. This option changes the available skills and weapons they can use in the game. In PSO2, characters can freely switch in between classes. Thankfully, the much-awaited Phantasy Star Online 2takes cues from the original Phantasy Stargames with its flexible class dynamics. The range for barbarity and Zondeel practically match with the slight caveat that Zondeel is not a sphere like barbarity is, so if you have flying enemies around (that don't get knocked to the ground by the stun) you can do a slight hop before casting Zondeel to gather enemies better.It's not all the time that MMOs offer a versatile class system to its players. Zondeel also makes all the enemies overlap which means that if you hit them all with a normal 3, you'll recover PP for each enemy hit easily refilling your PP bar on a large enough crowd of enemies.

Needs a casting subclass but barbarity's stun effect gives you plenty of leeway to vacuum in enemies and finish them off with a stronger single target PA. Unspoken barbarity > charged/uncharged Zondeel > (normal 3 >) cherry blossom finale/flash of the lotus. When locked onto a target point that's slightly off the ground, katana combat will float you up to it which gives you altitude to quickly execute lunar flourishing.

Katana combat > attack > lunar flourishing. Lastly here are some other combos you might want to learn. Evicerating bloom also has a minor benefit which is that you can generally stand slightly back from the target for more damage (the waves deal more damage the further away they travel) which gives you space to see enemy attacks better and parry which is why I tend to use it more. Alternatively in situations where you can get all of eviscerating bloom's damage (enemy is large enough to be hit by all/most of the attack) that can do more damage. The nocturnal > lunar combo can't be used on aerial targets that well as lunar flourishing will take you to the ground, so lotus which can maintain altitude is better in that situation. Normal 3 is your best PP restoring attack and the parry > lunar combo lets you skip the first two attacks.įor when you don't have parry best loop is either nocturnal blossom > lunar flourishing > normal 3 (good for when you have skills/abilities that need you to chain different PA's into each other) or you just spam flash of the lotus or evicerating bloom depending on the situation. Since parry lifts you off the ground slightly, lunar flourishing doesn't need to do the jump and executes very fast.

Next best dps would be something like parry > lunar flourishing > normal 3 (your basic attack that does two slashes) or another PA. Parry provides a lot of I-frames which allows you to parry the first hit in a multi hit attack and ignore the rest, but the parry animation can be cancelled with the guard action itself so if you have decent timing you can actually parry every hit in a combo and fire off a bunch of slashes. Read and follow their rules!īest damage rn for NA on braver is parry chaining. Note: this Discord server is not managed by /r/PSO2 mods.
