The ARKS Interception Silhouette (A.I.S. for short) is a large, mechanized suit developed specifically for the purpose of Mining Base defense. It is equipped with high-powered armaments that can effortlessly cut down Darker forces, but due to the risk of corruption, its use is limited to short bursts or non-Darker battles. The A.I.S. is white in color by default, but will adjust color according to the primary color of the player's outfit or CAST Parts.
Quests
The A.I.S. appears in the following Quests, where it has a time limit:
- Mining Base Defense: Despair
- Mining Base Defense: Demise
- Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Silver)
- Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Gold)
The A.I.S. appears in the following Quests with indefinite use:
Mechanics
- In Quests where the A.I.S. has limited use, the A.I.S. can be summoned from a Defense Pad. In Mining Base Defense, the requisite number of Points must be collected to summon an A.I.S. In Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Silver/Gold), the A.I.S. can be summoned up to 99 times. The A.I.S. has a 120 second duration, but will end preemptively if the player dismounts manually or the A.I.S. is defeated. When the A.I.S. is dismounted in these Quests, the player returns to the ground in the state prior to boarding the A.I.S.
- In Quests where the A.I.S. can be used indefinitely, the player automatically starts the Quest in the A.I.S. The player is barred from dismounting the A.I.S. manually. If the A.I.S. runs out of HP, the player is defeated and must wait 5 seconds to respawn.
Basic Movement
- Analog Stick/Movement Keys: Slide around in the A.I.S. Has a fair movement speed.
- Jump Button: Slowly ascend into the air with your boosters.
- Evade Button: Activates the Boost, propelling you forward at high speed. Costs 15 PP. Can be chained repeatedly.
Basic Attacks
- Solid Vulcan: Basic attack. Fires a salvo of bullets at your foes. High PP recovery. Can be held down for automatic fire, or Just Attacked between salvos for increased damage.
- Photon Saber: 15 PP. Slash with your Photon Saber. Can be chained up to three times for a combo that increases in power with every slash.
- Photon Grenade: 55 PP. Fire a payload of rockets from your Solid Vulcan. Deals large damage per rocket; extremely high damage potential if concentrated on a single target. Blast radius on impact.
- Photon Rush: 70 PP. Dash forward with your Photon Saber and slash around you. Deals outstanding single-hit damage. Final slash hits in a radius.
Skills
The A.I.S. knows the following Skills by default:
- Photon Blaster: Use the Photon Blaster to fire a portable Photon Particle Cannon at enemies. The strongest move in an A.I.S.'s arsenal. Radial mobility is reduced slightly while in use. Has a 120 second cooldown.
- Photon Blizzard: Fire a bomb that explodes on impact, inflicting the Freeze status on all enemies in range. Has a 40 second cooldown.
The following Skills only appear in certain Quests:
- High Boost: Appears in Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Silver/Gold), Annihilator's Purification, and Unleashed Prestige. Fire boosters to vault upwards at high speed. Has a 1 second cooldown.
- Weak Blaster: Appears in Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Silver/Gold), Annihilator's Purification, and Unleashed Prestige. Load and fire a bullet from your Solid Vulcan that inflicts Weak Bullet on a target.
- Area Heal: Appears in Bonus Quest: Magatsu (Silver/Gold), Annihilator's Purification, and Unleashed Prestige. Release a healing pulse that restores up to 1/2 of an A.I.S.'s maximum HP to yourself and nearby allies.
- Over Boost: Appears in Unleashed Prestige. Fire boosters to travel forward at high speed. Turning radius is dramatically reduced while in Over Boost. Holding the Jump button enables hovering as normal. Once you have traveled a certain distance, pressing the Photon Saber button will cancel your Over Boost and transition to a powerful slash attack that has long range and very high damage. Can be cancelled normally with any other action.

Enemies variant
There is a darker infected version of AIS, AIS Exodas, appearing in Mining Base Demise and Necky's Challenge. AIS Exodas upon appearing will prepare to charge Photon Blaster, targeting the towers and can be stopped by destroying the gun however this causes it to move around shortly and attacking players or AIS. AIS Exodas can be downed on fours by breaking the legs and exposing it back without moving for short duration, if not able to kill the AIS Exodas in time, it will get up and proceed attacking players or AIS.
Notes
- A.I.S. makes an appearance in PSO2: The Animation Episode 12 flying in and clearing out Darkers with ease from the air, combining Photon Blaster into one powerful beam. Unfortunately the AISes are destroyed instantly by Dark Falz Apprentice shortly after landing.
- In the Unleashed Prestige quest, PP regenerates while you are in the air as well. This is not the case for any other quest with an AIS appearance at this time.
- AIS are affected by both Shifta and Zanverse techniques. This is put to best use during any Mining Base related quests, as others can Shifta and Zanverse you.
- In Annihilator's Purification, it is possible to apply Shifta on AISes though only three ticks will be applied due to boarding the AIS. The caster must not be inside the teleporter and charge Shifta outside till the countdown appears on screen then walks into teleporter before countdown ends.
