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.

Swift Rush	Power PP	750 23	?	Knuckle Photon Art. Instantly close in on an enemy and pummel them with a flurry of blows.	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	?	Knuckle Photon Art. Pummel an enemy before you with countless blows before unleashing a powerful finisher.	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	?	Knuckles Photon Art. Close in on an enemy and unleash a powerful 3-hit combo.

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Razing Shot	Power PP	160 22	?	Assault Rifle Photon Art. Fire shells that explode on impact with the enemy. When charged, the shells spiral and penetrate targets.	Enemies that are hit with the piercing shot explode shortly after for additional damage.
Homing Darts	Power PP	240 24	?	Assault Rifle Photon Art. Fire special bullets that track multiple enemies in your field of view.	Shoots several homing bullets that track several targets near you. Also allows for horizontal movement.
Blaze Shot	Power PP	260 20	?	Assault Rifle Photon Art. Avoid attacks while firing a high-speed volley at the enemy. Press and hold for continuous fire, until your PP is depleted.	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	?	Twin Machine Guns Photon Art. Loose fire on the enemy before launching a powerful focused 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 Machine Guns Photon Art. Pelt the enemy with a hail of bullets as you spin round and round.	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.
Point Blank	Power PP	330 20	?	Twin Machine Guns Photon Art. Quickly close in on enemies and hit them with a powerful blast.	Very similar to PSO2's Gunner TMG PA Satellite Aim. Can be charged.

Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
Fallen Impact	Power PP	400 25	?	Launcher Photon Art. Drop down an explosive shell in front of you.	This PA is similar to PSO2's Assault Rifle PA Satellite Cannon, however the radius is much smaller and shoots multiple missiles down from the sky instead of a beam of light.
Fear Eraser	Power PP	1600 35	?	Launcher Photon Art. Fires a high-powered photon laser. By pressing and holding down the PA button, it will continue to fire until PP is depleted. A follow-up attack will be added when used continuously for a certain amount of time.	This PA has three parts, the first similar to PSO2's Launcher PA Phtonic Laser, while the second occurs as you hold the PA button down longer, it is a slightly wider beam that does more damage. The third part does a final even larger blast when you run out of PP or release the PA button.
Multi-launch	Power PP	1010 30	?	Launcher Photon Art. Fires a continuous volley of explosive shells ending in a devastating blast. Can be fired while moving or stationary.	Has two parts, the first shoots a volley of missiles at the enemy, the second occurs at the end of the volley and does a bigger explosion at the enemy with slight AOE, it can hit parts of the enemy that are targeted even if they are not in your line of sight. Can be cancelled by pressing the dodge button twice, there is a delay before it cancels however so it is still risky to try to cancel it while being attacked.

	Swift Smash	Power PP	550 25	?	Wand Photon Art. Quickly close in on an enemy to deal a devastating blow. Charging increases the potency.	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 Crash	Power PP	660 25	?	Wand Photon Art. Generate a shock wave that spreads over a wide area.	While the description suggests it hits the ground, this can be used in midair; the shockwave comes from the Wand itself.
