Any suggestions for a starter charcter?

[MaskedShardy]

So right now im installing PSO2, and i figured id ask, whats a good starter character for a beginner? I was thinking about a deuman, because of their damage boost, but honestly dont know for sure. Just figured id ask for suggestions.

Go CAST or go home.

Deumen are good, but their low HP and defense can actually make life a bit rough while learning the game. It's not something you can't get used to though. I say pick whichever has the features you want and go from there. For example, I play a caseal because I can go robutt or moeblob whenever I want.

Sometimes I curse myself for not having gone CAST. (Is a female human).

You have 3 character slots, so Newman, Dewman and CAST.

[TehCubey]

Character stats derived from race/gender do not matter. There are differences but overall they're insignificant. Build, mag, and affixes are all 10 times more important each, if not more.

So the good news is - pick whatever you like best.

Not really. With the sub units you get from the very early story quest, everything on N and H difficulties deals pathetic damage. Single digit for everything except bosses.

Well, that was the case in ep 2. Now it's a lot easier. Female dewmans, however, are the cutest.

Biggest difference is 87 T-Atk with Fo/Te. Newman♀ has the highest T-Atk and Cast♀ the lowest, with Team tree/Shifta Advance(5 point)/Shifta Drink EX it's 141 T-Atk difference.

Which equals about 3% damage difference at level 80 - just saying so OP knows what the scale is.

umm, what does robutt and moeblob mean?

Just a jokey way of saying that as a CAST you can alternate between a robotic form and a fleshie form.

[MaskedShardy]

oh, they can?.

[Anduril]

Yep; these are the same character:

Even better for males because males don't need to resemble a cyborg, they can go full super robot.

Worth noting that CASTS also can never have fleshie ears. Stuck with antennas or metal parts sticking out of their ears.

Or use a hairdo that covers the ears completely.

Or headphone accessories if you prefer a hairstyle that doesn't cover the ears. I have been OCD about this on my cast but I am going to try out some new things considering I have a bunch of tickets that I just happened to use on my other characters that he should have now. Now I just need a makeover ticket to fix some things.
