Fighter is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards ultra close-range combat, they are at their best when pressing the enemy. What they lack in Defense is made up for by their devasting, pulverizing attacks.

Class Weapon Overview

Fighters has access to three unique weapons: Twin Daggers, Double Sabers, and Knuckles.

Twin Daggers

A pair of small, lightweight blades. Twin Daggers unleash rapid-hitting attacks coupled with a variety of methods to swiftly close in on enemies. Their fast-paced attacks allow for comfortable weaving of their Photon Arts and other various actions, making them quite useful against single targets, but can lack when dealing with groups of enemies.

Using the Spin Weapon Action, you can block attacks on the fly from any direction and keep attacking right after you block.

Double Sabers

Short-range, versatile bladed weapons that excel in dealing many hits in a short amount of time in a wide area. Using Photon Arts and other certain actions creates a Whirlwind around the user, dealing constant damage to any enemy it touches. The Whirlwind grows in power as you chain attacks with the Double Saber.

Using the Parry Weapon Action allows the user to briefly guard through attacks.

Knuckles

A twin pair of weaponized gauntlets. Knuckles possess notoriously short range, but can exceed even Swords in power to compensate. Their Photon Arts can hit extremely hard if given the opportunity, and are a powerful weapon when engaging a target one-on-one.

Using the Sway Weapon Action, you can avoid attacks from enemies by quickly ducking in place.
