M.A.R.S. M.A.R.S.
Main Class Skill Tree

The M.A.R.S. (Multirole ARKS Reactive System) is an action system introduced to Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis in the July 31st, 2024 update.

Overview

Unlockable following the completion of Chapter 1, the M.A.R.S. is a customizable weapon that is usable via its designated Sub-Palette button.

The M.A.R.S. is composed of four different main armaments, and three different sub armaments. Players can equip any combination of two main armaments and one sub armament at a time, with each one having different properties, effects, and gameplay styles.

Similarly to Photon Blasts, the "M.A.R.S. Battery" charges passively at a rate of 1% every 5.4 seconds: with nine minutes being required to fully charge the system. Players can activate the M.A.R.S. after its battery has reached at least 25% of its maximum charge, and the battery's charge will drain at a rate of 1% every 0.83 second: allowing for a maximum usage time of 2 minutes.

The M.A.R.S. system can be activated and deactivated at will multiple times at any point in the majority of quests. However, prematurely deactivating the M.A.R.S. before it has been used for at least 30 seconds will consume additional charge (up to 25% of the maximum gauge).

Note that becoming incapacitated will automatically deactivate the M.A.R.S.

Main Armaments

The M.A.R.S. main armaments all have a Normal Attack, a single Photon Art, and a Weapon Action. Each main armament has its own playstyle and specialty that are the biggest influences in how you operate the system. There are a total of four main armaments, with two being equippable simultaneously (one weapon will fill the main armament Palette, while the other will fill the Back Palette).

  • VA-1SRM Garm

  • VA-2MRM Nidhoggr

  • VA-3LRM Hydra

  • VA-4XRM Scylla

VA-1SRM Garm
