Force is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
Class Weapon Overview
Rod
A long-shafted weapon augmented for Technique casting. The Rod allows Forces to freely move around while casting as well as block attacks with the Guard weapon action. Using the Guard Weapon Action, you can block attacks and negate their damage when Guarding right before the attack hits you with a Just Guard, which also restores 30 PP when successfully performed.
Rod Mechanics
- Rod Bullet: Returning from PSO2, upon Normal attacking with a rod, a bullet is fired that restores PP when hitting an enemy.
- Rod Free Movement: While charging and casting techniques with a Rod as well as shooting Rod Bullets with Normal attacks, the Force is able to move freely at a reduced speed.
- Step Counterattack: After successfully dodging through an attack with a Step, a unique counterattack can be performed by pressing the normal attack button right after the Step in the form of a more powerful Rod Bullet.
- Rod Technique Keep: A Passive Skill only usable on Rods when "Rod Technique Keep" is unlocked on the Force skill tree. Upon using Step or the Weapon Action on a Rod while charging a Technique, the Technique is stored in the Rod, allowing the Technique to be cast later with a reduced charge time and with the PP cost negated.
