Battle Types, also unofficially known as Jobs or Classes, are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine a character's Stats, their level caps for Photon Arts, which weapons they can use, how much PP certain weapons regenerate per interval, and proficiency with Traps. There are twelve Types in total, three Basic Types that are available immediately, and nine Expert Types that can only be unlocked 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 levels and changing Types

Separately from one's Character Level, Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need to gain Type Experience Points, which are awarded after completing Missions (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level is currently capped at 15.

The following is a chart of mission points ('Type Experience') needed to level up the types:

Basic Types Type Level 1→2 2→3 3→4 4→5 5→6 6→7 7→8 8→9 9→10
To Next 60 70 80 100 120 130 140 150 150
Total 60 130 210 310 430 560 700 850 1000
Expert Types Type Level 1→2 2→3 3→4 4→5 5→6 6→7 7→8 8→9 9→10 10→11 11→12 12→13 13→14 14→15
To Next 400 500 600 750 1500 750 1000 1000 1500  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?
Total 400 900 1500 2250 3750 4500 5500 6500 8000  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?

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.

Additional Bonuses

Traps

Rangers, Fighgunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners are able to use certain Traps (details?); Protransers can use all of them at increased damage since it is their specialty; inflicting damage 50% greater than that of normal trap users.

--A trap's SE should affect any monster that can be affected by that SE, despite normal restrictions of SE level. (Normal Traps work on Large monsters)

--SE levels remain constant despite level or Type.

--Trap damage itself, as well as SE's damage/effects are nonelemental; meaning that they are not affected by a monster's element.

--Traps charge a SUV-bar. Assumedly they charge a nanoblast as well(?).


Standard Traps (Level 1 SE) (detonate on a short timer)

Damage

Initial Damage: 325 + 3 per Level

Virus, Shock, Silence

Initial Damage: 158 + 1.6 per Level AoE + SE




PP Regeneration

Every five seconds, Weapons regenerate a certain amount of PP. Offline this is always one, but online the amount is variable, and Types get regeneration bonuses for their 'native' weapon types as well (more info about the regeneration rates here):

  • +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Melee Weapons: Hunters, Fighgunners, Wartechers and Fortefighters.
  • +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Ranged Weapons: Rangers, Fighgunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners.
  • +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Casting Weapons: Forces, Guntechers, Wartechers and Fortetechers.

PP Consumption

Fortefighters, Fortegunners and Fortetechers consume only 80% of the original PP when using Skills, Bullets and TECHNICs, respectively.

Favored Types

Online, some of the possible combinations of Races and Types gains additional statistical bonuses, the figures of which depend on the Types themselves, and are the same for all stats. While calculating bonuses, these are separate to and applied cumulatively with the Type figures (as seen in the sections below) against the 'base stats' for certain Races/genders. These bonuses exist for the following combinations:

Type HU RA FO FI GT WT FF FG FT PT AF AT
Human 102% 102% 102% 103% 103% 103% - - - 103% 105% 105%

Relative Stats

Everything from this point down in the article has not been changed since the updates that came with Ambition of the Illuminus. As such, it is all largely inaccurate.
