Swords

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Spiral Edge	Power PP	700 25	?	Sword Photon Art. Rise in a slashing, spiral ascent. Charging increases the Photon Art's damage.	The more you charge this, the more vertical slashes are performed.
Twisting Zapper	Power PP	670 28	?	Sword Photon Art. Spin towards enemies with blade outstretched. Charging increases the number of spins.	Does several horizontal slashes that hit targets around you. Allows for horizontal movement.
Calibur Streak	Power PP	3200 35	?	Sword Photon Art. Unleash a chain of up to three powerful slashing attacks. Increase the number of hits by charging each attack.	Activate the PA again right after the previous slash to chain the next slash. Charging the PA leaves a lingering field from where the slash is performed, doing additional damage over time.

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Swift Rush	Power PP	750 23	?	A Knuckle Photon Art. Close the gap in an instant, and perform a rapid hit combo attack.	Rush forward, one-two punch, another one-two punch, then a multi-hit one-two punch before retreating. Between each of these punches you can interrupt the PA with other inputs.
Thousand Blows	Power PP	1100 32	?	A Knuckle Photon Art. Barrage the enemy with countless punches, and finish with a single powerful strike.	The final strike is an uppercut with a delay before it. This delay allows you to move towards your target.
Double Drive	Power PP	620 28	?	A Knuckle Photon Art. Perform a 3-attack combo consisting of a multi-hit dash and two jabs.

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Raging Shot	Power PP	160 22	?	An Assault Rifle Photon Art. Fire a two-shot burst with explosive bullets. Charge to instead fire a penetrating, multi-hit spiral shot.	Enemies that are hit with the piercing shot explode shortly after for additional damage.
Homing Dart	Power PP	240 24	?	An Assault Rifle Photon Art. Fires tracking bullets at locked on targets.	Shoots several homing bullets that track several targets near you. Also allows for horizontal movement.
Blaze Shot	Power PP	260 20	?	An Assault Rifle Photon Art. Rapidly fire at a target while avoiding enemy attacks. Continue holding down the Photon Art button to keep moving & firing while draining PP.	Allows you to glide while rapidly firing. Drains PP for as long as the button is held.

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Bullet Rave	Power PP	620 22	?	A Twin Machinegun Photon Art. Fire in bursts at an enemy, then finish with a powerful cluster shot.	It is possible to input an action before the cluster shot fires to skip it. Can be charged.
Aimless Rain	Power PP	660 25	?	Twin Machinegun Photon Art. Violently rotate while firing bullets at surrounding enemies.	This PA has two parts, the first similar to PSO2's Hero TMG PA Final Storm, while the second is similar to PSO2's Gunner TMG PA Shift Period.
Close Bullet	Power PP	330 20	?	A Twin Machinegun Photon Art. Swiftly close the gap and fire powerful shots at close range.	Very similar to PSO2's Gunner TMG PA Satellite Aim. Can be charged.

	Rapid Smash	Power PP	550 25	?	A Wand Photon Art. Dash at the enemy for a single powerful strike. Charging increases the power of the attack.	Very similar to PSO2's Techer Wand PA Heavy Hammer, except this does not track vertically and only does a short lunge forward without a target.
	Wave Hit	Power PP	660 25	?	A Wand Photon Art. Perform two downward strikes, each generating a damaging shockwave that affect a wide area.	While the description suggests it hits the ground, this can be used in midair; the shockwave comes from the Wand itself.
