Revision as of 00:15, 11 November 2006

Types (戦闘タイプ, Battle Types), also known as Jobs or Classes, are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine one's Stats, their level caps for Photon Arts, what weapons they can use and how fast these regenerate PP per interval, and in the case of the special 'Protranser' Type, also proficiency with Traps; essentially, these factors will influence one's playing style. There are ten classes, in total, three of which are Basic ones that are available from the start, and seven are universally superior Expert ones derived from these that can only be unlocked later on, by attaining the required Type Levels in the Basic Types. For people interested in playing the hybrid Types, it might be good to keep in mind the maximum amount of Photon Arts that can be learned at a time is 36.

Here is a quick overview of the different Types:

  Type Name Abbr. Req. Type Lvls Photon Art caps In-game Description
HU RA FO Skills Bullets Technics
Basic Types Hunter (ハンター) HU n/a 20 10 - A balanced type with high attack power, good for melee combat. Skilled in the use of striking weapons. A good fit for beginning players.
Ranger (レンジャー) RA 10 20 - A ranged fighter that can defeat enemies and support allies from a distance. The type's high accuracy makes firearms an ideal fit. Suited for intermediate players.
Force (フォース) FO 1 10 20 A type geared toward TECHNICs use. Allows advanced players to play a variety of different roles from powerful attacks to healing and support.
Expert Types Figunner (ファイガンナー) FG 5 3 - 30 20 -  ?
Guntecher (ガンテクター) GT - 5 3 10 30 10  ?
Wartecher (ウォーテクター) WT 3 - 5 20 10 20  ?
Fortefighter (フォルテファイター) fF 10 - - 30 10 -  ?
Fortegunner (フォルテガンナー) fG - 10 - 10 30 -  ?
Fortecher (フォルテテクター) fT - - 10 1 10 30  ?
Protranser (プロトランザー) PT 5 5 5 30 30 -  ?

New Human and Beast characters start out as Hunters, while Casts starts as Rangers and Newmans as Forces.

N.B.: The Expert Types are currently not available on the US servers of PSU yet, and neither Expert Types nor Photon Art restrictions are applicable offline at all.

Type levels and changing Types

Separately from one's Character Level, Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need Points ('Type Experience'), which are, like Meseta, gained after completing Missions (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level will eventually be 20, but currently it is locked at 10.

You can change your current Type to any of the Types available at the Type Select Counter at Clyez City 5F on the Colony. By doing so, you will not get any of the benefits of your old Type in your new one. You will not lose your old Type level either though. Changing Types will cost a certain amount of Meseta, dependent on one's Character Level. The formula for obtaining the cost of a Type change for any given Character Level is 150 + (50 * CL), where CL is the character's Character Level -- this is also represented in the following table.

Char Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

Additional Bonuses

Traps

Rangers, Figunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners are able to use certain Traps (details?); Protransers can use all of them at increased effect, since it is their specialty.

  • Regular Trap damage formula Ranger Types: .75 * CL[1] + 181
  • G-Trap damage formula Ranger Types: 1.25 * CL + 115
  • Regular Trap damage formula Protranser: 1.25 * CL + 115
  • G-Trap damage formula Protranser: 1.75 * CL + 181
  1. ↑ 'CL' stands for 'Character Level'.

PP Regeneration

  • Hunters, Figunners, Wartechers and Fortefighters gain a bonus to PP regeneration for Melee Weapons (this difference is not as big for Figunners however).
  • Rangers, Figunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners gain a bonus to PP regeneration for Ranged Weapons.
  • Forces, Guntechers, Wartechers and Fortechers gain a bonus to PP regeneration for Casting Weapons.

More details here.

PP Consumption

Fortefighters, Fortegunners and Fortechers consume less PP when using Skills, Bullets and Techniques, respectively (details?).
