Types (戦闘タイプ -- Battle Types), also known as Jobs and Classes, are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. A Type essentially defines most of the abilities of your character, as well as the Weapons (s)he can use. PSU retains the three Types from its predecessor, Phantasy Star Online. They are:

  • Hunters - the melee specialists of the game. They are the damage-dealers, who can take as much as they deal out. With their Photon Arts known as Skills, they can execute powerful melee attacks.
  • Rangers - the ranged specialists of the game. They can use their passive Photon Arts - Bullets - in order to cripple enemies with Status Effects such as Burn and Freeze. They are also the most accurate Type in the game.
  • Forces - the archetypical mage. Forces use their Photon Arts called Techniques to acheive a variety of effects; including but not limited to elemental damage, healing, and raising and lowering Stats.

In addition there are Expert Types that will allow further customization of a character. Expert Types appear to include 'hybrid' Types as well as more powerful versions of the Basic Types. See the Expert Types article for more information.

Skills 20 10 1
Bullets 10 20 10
Techniques n/a n/a 20

Changing Types

Type Select Counter Menu

You can change your current Type to any of the Types available at the Type Select Counter. Doing so will cost you a certain amount of Meseta, dependent on your Character Level.

When you change your Type, you do not get the benefits of your old Type in your new one. You cannot switch from Force to Hunter and use Techniques, for example. Nor do any stat bonuses from your old Type as a result of leveling the Type (see below) carry over to your new one. However if you switch to a different Type, and then switch back again, your old Character Level and abilities will still be there.

Type Change Costs

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. Below is a table showing the cost of changing your Type.

Char Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Cost 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650
Char Level 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Cost 700 750 800 850 900 950 1000 1050 1100 1150
Char Level 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
Cost 1200 1250 1300 1350 1400 1450 1500 1550 1600 1650

Type Levels

Upon completing a Mission, you will get a reward of Meseta and Points ('Type experience') for the Type you were using in that Mission. Like with your Character Level, once you receive enough Type Experience your Type will level up. The benefits this brings are twofold:

  • Firstly, your stats will increase, particularly those that are important for your Type. Hunters, for example, will get more HP and ATP than the other Types.
  • Secondly, when reaching certain Type Levels you may 'Rank Up' - that is to say, your proficiency with certain weapon types will increase, allowing you to use more powerful weapons. For example, you may level up your Hunter Type and upon reaching a certain Type Level for Hunters, your proficiency with Sabers may rise from C to B, allowing you to use B-Rank Sabers.

The maximum Type Level for any one Type is 20. Type Levels exist completely independently of your Character Level.
