New Genesis: Techter
Techter is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards close and long range combat, that also supports other players through Techniques. With temporal ability enhancement and healing, they can stack any battle in their favor.
Class Weapon Overview
Techters has access to two unique weapons: Wands and Talises.
Wands
Wands are general purpose Technique casting weapons that can also be used as an melee weapon. Wands can be imbued with an element by casting a charged technique, which allows them to create Technique "explosions" called Photonic Fury when striking enemies with melee attacks that inflict additional damage and strike all enemies near the blast.
Using the Parry Weapon Action, you can block attacks and negate their damage when Guarding right before the attack hits you with a Perfect Guard. A Perfect Guard also allows you to move when successfully performed.
Talises
A Technique device equipped on the arm that allows Techter users to cast Techniques in different behaviors with Photon Art usage. The type of attack depends on the PA used.
Using the Talis Deploy Weapon Action, you can install a floating Talis that will attack nearby enemies, restoring PP.
