New Genesis: Fighter
Fighter is a class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
Class Weapon Overview
Knuckles
A twin pair of weaponized gauntlets. Knuckles possess notoriously short range, but 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.
Knuckles Mechanics
- Knuckle Attack Extra: A Passive Skill only usable on Knuckles when "Knuckle Attack Extra" is unlocked on the Fighter skill tree. Knuckles gain a 5th normal attack that can be used in your attack combo. This 5th normal attack is just as powerful as a Photon Art.
- Knuckle Sway Counter: Pressing the normal attack button after a successful Sway Counter with Knuckles will allow for a counterattack, and if "Knuckle Attack Switch" is unlocked, jump to the 5th normal attack.
