Fighter (PSO2)
A close ranged melee class specializing in lightweight weapons. Users of this class are known for their high fighting prowess. However, this class is also known for having many conditional types of damage boosters, multiple of which are related to saying under low HP, so dodging should be a main priority.
Reaching Level 75 on this class will give the following bonuses to the base stats of all classes and all characters of the same account: PP +2, +50, +15, +10.
Class Weapon Overview
Fighters use the Twin Dagger, Double Saber, and Knuckles weapon types.
Twin Daggers
Short-range daggers that excel at aerial combat. Capable of extremely fast attacks with multiple hits, and multiple PAs that allow maneuvering in all directions, both horizontally and vertically. However, because PAs are so fast, it tends to also consume PP much faster than most other weapons.
The Weapon Action allows you to do a twirl in the air that maintains altitude and has 360° Just Guard frames through its full duration.
Double Sabers
Short-range bladed weapons that are capable of dishing out a multitude of hits in a single combo. Double Saber PAs generally have multiple hits (but slower than Twin Daggers), and are capable of drawing enemies nearby with aoe attacks. Gear management is a very important part of using Double Sabers. Generally regarded as mobbing weapons for a long time, the addition of the Skill Ring L/DS Whirlwind allows Double Sabers to become an extremely effective boss killer.
The Weapon Action does a flourish animation that by itself does nothing, requiring the Double Saber Gear gear to have any effect.
Knuckles
Short-range fist weapons that excel at dealing large amounts of damage to a single target. PAs are generally strong single hit attacks with low range, but there are exceptions.
The Weapon Action does a quick swaying animation that possesses iframes, allowing you to dodge enemy attacks while standing still.

Tech Arts JA Bonus
Increases damage when chaining together successive different PAs or Techniques via Just Attack.
Notes:
- Any type of combination between Techs and PAs work:
- PA -> PA
- Tech -> Tech
- PA -> Tech
- Tech -> PA
- Using regular attacks between PAs will not interrupt the combo.
- Missing JA timings will not interrupt the combo, but won't update the previous JA'd PA/Tech either. For example:
- Will work: JA Heartless Impact -> non-JA Ducking Blow -> JA Backhand Smash -> JA Heartless Impact. Only Ducking Blow won't benefit (as it wasn't a JA)
- Won't work: JA Heartless Impact -> non-JA Ducking Blow -> JA Heartless Impact. Heartless Impact is still the previous JA'd PA, so it won't work.

Weapon Related Skills
Double Saber Gear
Hitting enemies with basic attacks or PAs will generate Gear. The more hits, the faster it fills.
Performing a Weapon Action will spend all Gear and generate a whirlwind around you that damages nearby enemies. The higher the gear, the more damage and wider the aoe. Requires at least 1/3 Gear to generate a whirlwind. The whirlwind hits themselves generate more gear, and you can have up to 2 whirlwinds up at the same time. Whirlwinds benefit from Just Attacks and status effects chances on your weapon.
Note: The Skill Ring L/DS Whirlwind allows you to activate the whirlwinds after using any PA (except for Chaos Riser and Tornado Sender) without spending any gear.

Icon | Skill Name | Prerequisite |
---|---|---|
Double Saber Wind Parry | Double Saber Gear Lv1 |
Twin Dagger Gear
Performing a Weapon Action while in the air, or using specific PAs will generate gear. There are 3 Gear levels. If you touch the ground or get damaged, the Gear is reset.
Increases the damage of all attacks and PAs based on Gear level.
The following PAs generate Gear:
- Gear Level +1:
- Raging Waltz
- Shoot Polka
- Scar Fugue
- Symphonic Drive
- Facet Folia (only if the first hit connects)
- Gear Level +2:
- Quick March

Twin Dagger Spin Move
Allows you to move horizontally while performing the Weapon Action. Distance covered is small (about half the distance of Step), and it does not change the direction you are facing.
Icon | Skill Name | Prerequisite |
---|---|---|
Twin Dagger Spin Move | Twin Dagger Gear Lv1 |
Knuckle Gear
Performing any attack or PA will generate Gear (even if no hits connect on an enemy). There are 3 Gear levels. Each Gear level raises the attack speed of all attacks and PAs (such as Backhand Smash and Surprise Knuckle). When the Gear is maxed, it also raises the damage of specific PAs. Gear resets if you stop attacking, if you get hit, or if you jump.
Performing a Weapon Action or Step won't generate gear, but will prevent it from reseting. Additionally, performing Weapon Action multiple times in a row will prevent it from reseting, but performing Step multiple times in a row will not (this can be avoided by using Step Attack after every Step).

Stance Related Skills
Brave Stance
A stance in which you deal increased damage while in front of an enemy. Decreases damage done while behind an enemy. Cannot be activated at the same time as Wise Stance.
Notes:
- Being in front or behind an enemy is defined by the enemy's total body, not the part you're targeting. So, for example, hitting the weakspot behind the neck of a Dark Ragne will benefit from Brave Stance, despite you being behind the neck, because you are on the front half of its body.
- Some enemies consider the battlefield as their body. Such enemies will benefit from Brave/Wise Stance based on where you are located in the battlefield. For example:
- Dark Falz Elder considers the entire battlefield as its body, meaning Wise Stance will work at all times, as his body is always on the back part of the arena.
- Big Vardha's body can be walked on. Whenever you hit a part of it, the Stance that works will be based on where in its body you are located. So hitting the missile launchers on the back will always benefit from Wise Stance, while the laser cannons on the front will always benefit from Brave Stance. The core moves through its body, so it depends on where you are at the moment.

Wise Stance
A stance that increases your damage done while attacking from behind a target. Decreases damage done while in front of an enemy. Cannot be activated at the same time as Brave Stance.
Notes:
