Hunter is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards close-range combat, they excel at engaging enemies in close quarters. Boasting high HP and Defense, they can hold their own when operating solo.

Class Weapon Overview

Hunters have access to three unique weapons: Swords, Wired Lances, and Partisans.

Sword

A large broadsword used for heavy melee strikes. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in raw damage. The Sword is a jack-of-all-trades weapon, possessing utility in almost any situation and being capable in a variety of areas, however, its mobility and slower attacks can be lacking. Using the Guard Weapon Action, you can block attacks and negate their damage when guarding right before the attack hits you.

Wired Lances

A pair of blades hooked to handles by an extendable cable. The specialized blades are capable of striking targets far and wide, at the cost of some raw damage. Among the Hunter weapons, Wired Lances also possesses the most versatile mobility, and faster attacks.

By being in the ideal range, you can deal increased damage to enemies using this weapon.

Using the Grapple Weapon Action allows for versatile movement and action when striking an enemy.

Partisans

A long, bladed spear. It has decent reach and flexible maneuverability, but also has many attacks with long motions and high commitment.
Attacking aggressively with the Partisan isn't the best option, but reading the enemy's attack patterns and choosing the appropriate actions can help turn the tides of battle.

Using the Parry Weapon Action allows the user to swiftly guard incoming attacks. While this Weapon Action lacks its own counterattack, the Partisan is poised to take full advantage of skills related to Hunter Arts Avenger, giving it a way to deal large amounts of damage while dealing with enemy attacks.
