User:Corbis

Hello, simple user page for now. I often use this wiki and see missing information every so often, so I decided to step in to help out during my free time. Please let me know if you have any concerns about my editing; I've edited on Fandom/Wikia before so I will not be surprised or offended by any edits you may make to my own.

Played a little PSO2 JP in 2018 and stopped until Global came out in 2020, and I've continuing playing ever since. I've played and maxed all of the classes in PSO2 and NGS, but I mostly know what I'm doing for all of NGS's classes, so I have some reasonable knowledge about them. I'm on Global's Ship 2, as catetaro. On Discord, you can find me on the Fleet and Official servers as cate#4502.

Thanks for reading!

Priority List

At the moment, I'm adding details to the PA pages. Even though I take details from the Swiki, I make sure to verify things in-game, as I've already encountered some lost-in-translation specifics using DeepL. Thank you very much for your time Engouku and Frozen Yellow Containers.

1. (Done) Creating Photon Art pages for each weapon.
2. (Done) Rename PA pages to fit NGS page name schemes and for accuracy (New Genesis Swords Photon Arts -> Portal:New Genesis/Sword Photon Arts and Actions)
3. (Done) Including additional information to each weapon's PA (guard, inv. frames, PA cancel opportunities, any extra quirks)
4. (Done) Updating NGSEquipment template to properly link respective weapons' PA pages.
5. (WIP) Weapon Action, Normal Attacks, and Photon Blast info on PA pages
6. Creating Technique pages for each type of technique.
7. Additional information for techniques.
8. Dark Falz Aegis/Battle of Halphia Lake strategy and attack patterns.

Overview

The Fighter's Double Saber focuses on dealing damage through the use of its Whirlwind mechanic, which is built up using any Double Saber attacks barring Dash, Dive, or special attacks that consume Whirlwind. Though the Double Saber deals a considerable amount of damage to enemies in an area with a fully-built Whirlwind, it tends to be weakened during gaps between combat as you may lose your built-up Whirlwind. Without Whirlwind, its PAs also lack in power in comparison to other melee weapons.

Fighter's weapon PAs are split into two halves, and learning Fighter Skip Arts allows you to use the first half by inputting a directional key, or to instead skip to the second half by not inputting.
For Double Saber PAs, the first half provides various utilities (Julien's gap-closing, Unchained's generous autoguard and mobbing), while the second half focuses on damage or whirlwind building. It is recommended to understand when to use each half according to your combat situation.

Features of Double Saber

Whirlwind

Whirlwind Stage	Power
WW1	32
WW2	80
WW3	144

Double Saber's built-in mechanic to deal damage to nearby enemies every second. By default, it can be built up to 2 stages; the 1st stage creates blue slashes around you, and the 2nd stage increases its damage and adds purple slashes. If Saber Wind Extra is learned, the 3rd stage is unlocked, further increasing the damage and slightly increasing the range of your Whirlwind. The Whirlwind will also appear as a purple circle surrounding you.
The skills Deadly Archer and Spiral Drive can be used as attacks in exchange for Whirlwind.
The skill Saber Glaze PP Gain allows Stage 2 and 3 of Whirlwind to generate 2 PP per hit, providing additional sustain.

Whirlwind will disappear in 15 seconds if no Whirlwind-building attack is made. In certain combat situations, it may be smart to consume Whirlwind with the aforementioned skills if you don't expect to hit an enemy in that time span. However, keep in mind before using them that the Double Saber relies on its Whirlwind to deal competitive damage to other melee weapons.

When using the Double Saber in a multiweapon setup, Whirlwind will deal a 1/4th of its damage while using the other weapon. Though it is still a damage increase, it is recommended to use other melee weapons so you can stay in range to deal damage with Double Saber.

Normal Attacks

Icon	Stat	NA1	NA2	NA3	NA4	Spiral Drive
	Power	45 x 2	46 x 2	55 x 3	255	350 x 2
	PP Recovery	3 x 2	3 x 2	3 x 3	14	15 x 2

Swing each side of the Double Saber multiple times across 3 Normal Attacks to hit enemies in front of you. Saber Attack Extra adds the 4th NA. Same Arts Skip Attack - Fighter and Another Arts Skip - Fighter allows you to skip to the 3rd and 4th NAs after using a PA twice or two different PAs, respectively. Spiral Drive allows you to perform a quick, damaging attack that restores 30 PP by holding down the NA input, at the cost of Whirlwind.

Normal Attacks

• NA4 moves you forward and has a wide reach, allowing it to hit multiple enemies in front of you. It is also better in terms of damage and PP recovery compared to other NAs, making it effective to utilize Another Arts Skip for good and sustainable damage.
• NA4 autoguards from all directions from the beginning to the middle of the swing.
• NAs (barring NA4) can be canceled at any time with Weapon Action.

Spiral Drive

• Performs a gap-closing attack then a retreat.
• Using Spiral Drive during WW3 will revert it to WW2, and using it with WW2 will consume it completely.
• Can be effectively combo'd if used before a Photon Blast as it will return you to WW3 during the attack.

Weapon Action

Icon	Stat	Parry Counter	Another Counter	Deadly Archer
	Power	125 x 3	500	140 x 9 + 168 x 2
	PP Recovery	4 x 3	7	0

Spin to guard yourself in all directions. Skills in the Fighter tree provides 2 different counters to use after guarding an attack, as well as access to a special attack, Deadly Archer.

Parry Counter

• Allows you to counter with an NA input after a successful guard.
• You can move roughly 2 Steps in any direction using the respective movement input as you counter.
• Versus Another Counter, it provides better PP recovery and Whirlwind build-up value, but deals less damage, shorter gap-close, and less invincibility time; less invincibility however makes it better for multiple attacks.

Another Counter

• Allows you to use an alternate counter with a Weapon Action input after a successful guard.
• Versus Parry Counter, it provides higher damage, a further gap-close, and longer invincibility time, but has worse PP recovery and Whirlwind build-up value.

Deadly Archer

• Hold down the Weapon Action input to consume all Whirlwind to enhance your Double Saber, then toss it, where it spins rapidly to attack the enemy.
• Has a relatively long startup time, and you will remain in place while performing the attack.
• If you plan to fully consume your Whirlwind with WW3, consider using Spiral Drive first before using Deadly Archer.

Universal Actions

Action	Power	PP Recovery
Step Attack	80 + 80	4 + 4
Step Counter	190 + 190	9 + 9
Dash Attack	280	15
Dive Attack	200	0

• Step Attack/Counter: After a Step, press Normal Attack to perform a quick slash. If you dodge an enemy's attack with Step, the damage is increased.
• Dash Attack: Swing the Twin Daggers directly in front of you. Has a narrow range compared to other Dash Attacks.
• Dive Attack: Nearly the same across all weapons. Dive deals damage to nearby enemies and restores no PP, and is mainly used to reach the ground faster.

Photon Blast

Quickly attack the enemy with numerous horizontal slashes before finishing off with a rising spin attack.

• One of the fastest Photon Blasts, but also deals relatively low damage in comparison.
• The rising spin attack may accidentally hit unintended parts of the enemy. Consider activating the Photon Blast somewhat lower than the part you intend to hit.
• Power Notation: Measured in Power, deals 240 x 5 hits (slashes), 300 (transition slash), then 360 x 5 hits (rising spin).
