Hunter is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards close range combat, they excel at engaging enemies in close quarters. Boasting high HP and Defense, they can hold their own when operating solo.

Class Weapon Overview

Hunters has access to three unique weapons: Sword (NGS) Swords, Wired Lance (NGS) Wired Lances, and Partizan (NGS) Partisans

Sword

A large broadsword used for heavy melee strikes. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in raw damage. The Sword is a jack-of-all-trades weapon, possessing utility in almost any situation and being capable in a variety of areas, however, its attack range is lacking. Using the Guard Weapon Action, you can block attacks and negate their damage when Guarding right before the attack hits you.

Wired Lances

A pair of blades hooked to handles by an extendable cable. The specialized blades are capable of striking targets far and wide, at the cost of some raw damage. Wired Lances also excel in grappling targets, manipulating their positions and using them to strike other foes around them. By being in the ideal range, you can deal increased damage to enemies using this weapon.

Using the Grapple Weapon Action allows for versitile movement and action when striking an enemy.

Partisans

A long, bladed spear. It has a wide range among the melee weapons, but it has many "heavy" attacks with long motions and limited cancelling inbetween.
Attacking aggressively isn't the best option, but reading the enemy's attack patterns and choosing the appropriate actions can help turn the tides of battle.
In addition, it doesn't have its own counter attack, so if you want to deal damage while dealing with enemy attacks, skills related to Hunter Arts Avenger will be important.
Once you get used to using it, you'll want to use it effectively.

Using the Parry Weapon Action allows the user to swiftly parry incoming attacks.
