Overview
There are many PAs that attack in a wide range and PAs that attack at high speeds similarly to Twin Daggers and Knuckles.
Although there are PAs that are suitable for close and mid-range situations, there are no PAs that can easily attack enemies at long range.
As a side note, the PAs (both in EN and JP) have references to plants/flowers.
