User:Corbis
Hello, simple user page for now. I often use this wiki and see missing information every so often, so I decided to step in to help out during my free time. Please let me know if you have any concerns about my editing; I've edited on Fandom/Wikia before so I will not be surprised or offended by any edits you may make to my own.
Played a little PSO2 JP in 2018 and stopped until Global came out in 2020, and I've continuing playing ever since. I've played and maxed all of the classes in PSO2 and NGS, but I mostly know what I'm doing for all of NGS's classes, so I have some reasonable knowledge about them. I'm on Global's Ship 2, as catetaro. On Discord, you can find me on the Fleet and Official servers as cate#4502.
Thanks for reading!
Priority List
At the moment, I'm adding details to the PA pages. Even though I take details from the Swiki, I make sure to verify things in-game, as I've already encountered some lost-in-translation specifics using DeepL. Thank you very much for your time Engouku and Frozen Yellow Containers.
Sorry if it's been taking so long to get info onto these pages, I haven't been active in-game for the past few months. For the PA pages waiting to be finished, I should definitely have them done by the time Slayer comes around; very excited for that class. Many thanks to Time for filling out Rod, Talis, and Wand pages, along with fixing up some table formatting and game terms.
- (Done) Creating Photon Art pages for each weapon.
- (Done) Rename PA pages to fit NGS page name schemes and for accuracy (New Genesis Swords Photon Arts -> Portal:New Genesis/Sword Photon Arts and Actions)
- (Done) Including additional information to each weapon's PA (guard, inv. frames, PA cancel opportunities, any extra quirks)
- (Done) Updating NGSEquipment template to properly link respective weapons' PA pages.
- (WIP) Weapon Action, Normal Attacks, and Photon Blast info on PA pages
- Creating Technique pages for each type of technique.
- Additional information for techniques.
- Dark Falz Aegis/Battle of Halphia Lake strategy and attack patterns.

Overview
The Bouncer's Soaring Blades has long, 2 stage PAs that can be separated as single-tap and double-tap versions, each providing different attack animations and utilities. The weapon is also able to inflict and contribute to one of Bouncer's skills, Physical Decline, to make enemies more vulnerable to Physical Downs, and can dish out powerful counterattacks.
However, the Soaring Blades relies heavily on PP management to perform these counterattacks, requiring PA usage and canceling to effectively perform them. The length of the Soaring Blades PAs can also leave you vulnerable, even with its defense options learned.
Features of Soaring Blades
Normal Attacks
| Icon | Stat | NA1 | NA2 | NA3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Potency | 90 | 100 | 60 + 130 |
| PP Recovery | 4 | 4 | 2 + 6 |
Slash the enemy with the Soaring Blades.
Normal Attacks
- NAs move you forward both on the ground and in the air.
- NA3 creates an X-shaped shockwave that can hit enemies at range. This attack also hits twice.
- The beginning of NA3 has an auto-guard from the front.
Weapon Action
| Icon | Stat | Photon Blade | Fanatic Blade | Counter Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Potency | 90 x 2 | 36 x (4, 6) | 500 |
| PP Recovery | 1.5 x 2 | 1.5 x (4, 6) | 0 |
Fire two Photon Blades at the enemy with a cooldown of 1 second.
- Photon Blade**
- You can fire the blades while using any movement action (jumping, gliding, photon dash, etc.). You will continuously fire the blades while holding the Weapon Action button as well.
- Cooldown is increased to 2 seconds if any sort of attack is performed during the initial 1 second cooldown.
- Damage reduced by 1/4th if used in a multiweapon setup with the other weapon unsheathed.
- Cannot be used during Sidestep Attacks, NAs, and PAs.
- Does not cause the enemy to flinch when they are hit.
- Fanatic Blade**
- Increases damage and attack speed of the Photon Blades. Learning **Fanatic Blade Augment** increases the amount of blades sent out per level of the skill (level 1 sends out 4, level 2 sends out 6).
- Deals high damage-per-second while Fanatic Blade is active. This can be further increased using the add-on skill Encore Jump to constantly jump on the enemy while sending out blades.
- Can still be affected by the aforementioned 2 second cooldown.
- Blade Arts Parry Counter Edge**
- Successfully guarding an attack with Blade Arts Parry during a PA creates a massive Photon Blade that drops directly onto the enemy. Can only be performed once per PA (as Blade Arts Parry can only be used once as well).
- Can hit enemies at a distance as long as they are targeted.
- You can perform a high-damaging but difficult counter by guarding an attack with Blade Arts Parry, then quickly pressing Sidestep to dodge the same attack. The Parry's hitlag is essentially the time you want to press Sidestep.
Universal Actions
| Action | Potency | PP Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| Sidestep Attack | 95 x 2 | 4 x 2 |
| Sidestep Counter | 260 x 2 | 7 x 2 |
| Dash Attack | 280 | 15 |
| Dive Attack | 200 | 0 |
- Sidestep Attack/Counter: After a Sidestep, press Normal Attack to slash the enemy twice instantly. If you dodge an enemy's attack with Sidestep, damage and PP recovery is increased.
- You will remain in the air during Sidestep Counter.
- Dash Attack: Swing the Soaring Blades in a horizontal sweeping motion in front of you.
- Dive Attack: Nearly the same across all weapons. Dive deals damage to nearby enemies and restores no PP, and is mainly used to reach the ground faster.
Photon Blast
Fire enhanced Photon Blades at the enemy, then combine your Soaring Blades into a massive Photon Blade to then perform a powerful cleave.
- You will remain still during this Photon Blast. You can slightly adjust the horizontal direction of the Photon Blades, but they will not home onto the enemy.
- As a result, it can perform poorly against enemies that move fast or vertically.
- You can adjust the horizontal direction of the cleave, even to hit an enemy behind you.
- The Photon Blades have a wide hitbox, which can cause them to hit unwanted parts of the enemy.
- Like all Photon Blasts, you are invincible during its animation.
- Power Notation: Measured in Potency, deals 180 x 18 hits (Photon Blades) + 960 (cleave).
