Bouncer is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.
A class geared towards close and medium range combat.
Highly mobile, and skilled at aerial combat. Its Physical and Elemental Downs will give you the edge in battle.
Class Weapon Overview
Bouncers have access to two unique weapons: 
Soaring Blades and 
Jet Boots.
Soaring Blades
A pair of long blades capable of engaging in a wide area with its attacks, attacking using both the physical blades and the ability to conjure Photon Blades. Its unique feature is performing Variant Attacks by activating a Photon Art while in the middle of performing one.
Using the Photon Blades Weapon Action, you can release a pair of flying photon blades that will strike at the enemy from a long range while evading. Its utility expands further with the skills Fanatic Blade, Photon Blade PP Recovery, and Blade Art Parry.
Jet Boots
Technique-based footwear that allows the usage of both Techniques and Photon Arts in fast aerial combat. By holding down the PA button when using Photon Arts, you can alter the resulting attack in exchange for consuming additional PP. With the skill Jet Boots Elemental Set, an element can be attached to its attacks by casting a Technique, allowing the Jet Boots to deal periodic elemental damage with normal attacks and PAs.
Using the Trick Bounce Weapon Action, you can quickly evade enemy attacks and maintain aerial altitude. With the skill Boot Trick Bounce Counter, you can release a shockwave counter at the enemy with a successful evade.
