Force is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards long range combat, they make use of Techniques to assault the enemy from a distance. Making use of a variety of Techniques, they can exploit an enemy's Elemental Weaknesses.

Class Weapon Overview

Force has access to two unique weapons: Rod (NGS) Rods and Talis (NGS) Talises.

Rods

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 Perfect Guard, which also restores 30 PP when successfully performed.

Talises

A Technique device equipped on the arm that allows Force users to cast Techniques in different behaviors with Photon Art usage. The type of attack depends on the PA used.

Using the Talis Deploy Weapon Action, you can install a floating Talis that will attack nearby enemies, restoring PP.
