Force is a returning class in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis.

Class Weapon Overview

Rod

A long-shafted weapon augmented for Technique casting. The Rod allows Forces to freely move around while casting as well as block attacks with the Guard weapon action.

Just Guarding with a Rod

Using the Guard Weapon Action, you can block attacks and negate their damage when Guarding right before the attack hits you with a Just Guard, which also restores 30 PP when successfully performed.

Rod Mechanics

• Rod Bullet: Returning from PSO2, upon Normal attacking with a rod, a bullet is fired that restores PP when hitting an enemy.

Rod Bullet

• Rod Free Movement: While charging and casting techniques with a Rod as well as shooting Rod Bullets with Normal attacks, the Force is able to move freely at a reduced speed.
• Step Counterattack: After successfully dodging through an attack with a Step, a unique counterattack can be performed by pressing the normal attack button right after the Step in the form of a more powerful Rod Bullet.
• Rod Technique Keep: A Passive Skill only usable on Rods when "Rod Technique Keep" is unlocked on the Force skill tree. Upon using Step or the Weapon Action on a Rod while charging a Technique, the Technique is stored in the Rod, allowing the Technique to be cast later with a reduced charge time and with the PP cost negated.
