Common Questions

Spoiler!

Q: Which does more damage? Step Counter or WA Counter?
A: Currently step counter does more damage for Katana at least until a buff happens for it's WA counter, Bow WA counter is stronger against step counter.

Straga is still the top series to go for, Forsis is roughly 3% weaker but more attainable and cheaper, currently Resurge works for Br due to Step counter doing more damage than WA counter but once the WA counter gets buffed, you can definitely use something else.

I really don't recommend Resurge bow but up to you if you want to go that route.

Units
https://image.swiki.jp/img1/?host=ps...C%E3%83%9E.pnghttps://image.swiki.jp/img1/?host=ps...B%E3%82%AC.png
You can use 2x Arga / 1x Geant or 1x arga / 2 Geant or 3x Geant (remember all negatives for Geant). If not these then choose from the other readily available units like Cuald/Cattoria Arma.

Katana at the moment seems the better of the two, frankly pick what you like and get better with it since both weapons are really good and really fun.

class preview up

skill tree added here and the other class tree thread

Hatou v2 and Shidou v2 (or w/e its called, the AoE one) are best for single and multi targets. idk about bow yet but all i can say is i like it more than PSO2C's version for sure

I'm a little disappointed there isn't a good place to use maxed charge Flex Arrow yet. There's nothing to pre-charge it for that you can't just keep hitting with the first charge level. Stuff like Fear Eraser made me hope they were moving away from long charges being purely for precasting, but I guess not.

Added stuff to the tabs above, will be working on the other classes later today. I believe people are still working on a DPS chart, I haven't seen one up yet that didn't need revision so for now I guess keep checking swiki or discord

Katana definitely needs a couple of QOL changes. Getting back-to-back fearless counters against daedal feels great, but doing anything against Oruq makes me want to scalp myself.

the katana combat finish looks like the one from DMC 5. boring

That's the exact opposite of the reaction I had. I've been wishing they would add something like Judgement Cut End to Katana since classic.
