As with most games, choosing your class in Phantasy Star Online 2 is a pretty big decision. Not only will it determine your playstyle throughout the game, but it will also have an impact on your character’s stats and abilities. In this guide, we are going to take a look at every Phantasy Star Online 2 class, so you’ll be able to make an educated decision.

Every Phantasy Star Online 2 Class

There are a total of nine main classes in Phantasy Star Online 2. As you’re probably aware, each class comes with a unique set of abilities and skills that will go a long way to determining how you play the game. Players will be required to pick an initial class when they create their character but will be able to change it later on in the game by visiting the ARKS Lobby. Below, we’ve detailed all nine of the main Phantasy Star Online 2 classes, including a short description and the weapons that they will use.

Class:	Weapons:	Description:
Bouncer	Dual Blades Gunslash Jet Boots	Ideal for close and medium ranged combat
Braver	Bullet Bow Gunlash Katana	Ideal for all-around playstyles; Good class for beginners
Fighter	Double Saber Gunslash Knuckles Twin Dagger	Ideal for close-ranged combat
Force	Gunslash Rod Tails	Ideal for long-ranged combat
Gunner	Assault Rifle Gunslash Twin Machine Gun	Ideal for close and medium ranged combat
Hunter	Gunslash Sword Partizan Wired Lance	Ideal for close-ranged combat; Good class for new players
Ranger	Assault Rifle Gunslash Launcher	Ideal for medium-ranged combat
Techer	Gunslash Tails Wand	Ideal for long-ranged combat; Mostly a support class
Summoner	Gunslash Takt	A bit of an odd class, Summoner’s raise and order pets to fight for them

As you can see, there is pretty much a class for every type of player in Phantasy Star Online 2. Further, since you can easily change up classes whenever you’d like, it’s worth trying out a few different ones to get a feel for the class that suits you. As you level up, you’ll also be able to choose from three different Successor Classes, but these will require you to have at least two of the main classes at Level 75. However, they have some unique abilities that the main classes don’t.

Phantasy Star Online 2 was originally released in Japan in 2012 and then on the Vita in Japan in 2013. At E3 2019, it was announced that Phantasy Star Online 2 would receive a western release after lots of pleading and begging from fans.
