[Slitz]

Well, alot of people have been asking about the classes. So I'll try to give a little bit of into on the classes of PSU. Could help you decide on a class.

To find the exact topic you're looking for, simply press CTRL+F and type in the Number or Letter of the category below. (Table Of Contents.)

Example:
CTRL+F
Type: 1.C) in the text area, then clikc "Find Next" (Might have to click it twice.) and it should go to topic 1.C) which is Force - FO.
This Method is generally used to prevent you from having to search endlessly thru the guide,info thing.

1. Starting Classes.

1.A) Hunter - HU

Basically, the melee class.
I'm sure most of you know what melee is.
Hunters are distinguished with Close-Ranged weapons, and also proficent with some Ranged-Weapons.(But Ranged is still rather limited.)Hunters have the highest ATP and HP in the game.

PERSONALLY, I think Beast and CAST are top choices for Hunter. Human and Newman are OK..


1.B) Ranger - RA

Rangers are the Ranged-Class of PSU.(Go figure, right?) They're great with Ranged Weapons,(Hand Gun, Rifle, Shotgun, w/e.)And also decent with Melee. Different from PSO because they actually play a role in Support, instead of just straight damage, by using Photon Arts called BULLETS(Original) to put status effects on the bad guys... Like Burn. Woot.
Rangers have the highest ATA, which means they hit more often.

IMO, CAST makes the best RA. But then, what do I know? Any other Race will probably work just fine. It's totally up to you.


And, last but not least.

1.3) Force - FO

The Tech users.(Basically, techs are magic.)
So they heal, support, and do Tech Damage. Are very weak in Attack and Defense, but deal great damage with their spells. Also the only class that can use longbows, (I think.)

I think Newmans make the best FO's, ... yeah. Human will work just fine. But CAST and Beast, may lack... a bit.

2. Expert Classes
(Later in game)

The following info was added by EJ.
Thanx for saving me alot of time lol.
I guess it's from psupedia.org. ;P

2.A) Fortefighter - This type is for those who specialize in melee combat. The types of weapons that fortefighters are able to use are fewer, however they have much higher ATP and DFP.


2.B) Fortegunner - This type is for those who specialize in ranged combat. The types of weapons that fortegunners are able to use are fewer, however their ATP and ATA are top-notch. They can also use A rank spears, daggers, and sabers.


2.C) Fortecher - This type is for those who specialize in technique combat. Fortechers are able to use all techniques, however they suffer from lower DFP.
They can also use A rank daggers, spears, dual daggers, sabers and handgun so they are not without some decent melee weapons.


2.D) Fighgunner - This type combines the abilities of a hunter with a ranger. Not only can fighgunners use melee weapons, but they are also able to wield ranged weaponry.


2.E) Guntecher - This type combines the abilities of a ranger with a force. Even though their main weapons are ranged, guntechers are also able to cast techniques.


2.F) Wartecher - This type combines the abilities of a force with a hunter. While using mainly techniques, a wartecher is also able to battle with melee weaponry. According the the info they seem to be use melee more than tech since their skills level is said to go to 20 while their tech can only go to 10. But can only use S wands.


2.G) Protranser - Protransers take pride in their ability to skillfully utilize traps in battle. They are able to use all types of traps including those of much greater power than normal. But unlike the other classes they don't excel in any weapons so the highest weapons they can have are A rank weapons.
