Rod group (Phantasy Star Online 2)

(PSO)(PSO2)

The Rod group (ロッド系) is a category of technique weapons in Phantasy Star Online 2.

Rods are two-handed weapons, providing large bonuses to T-ATK and smaller bonuses to S-ATK when equipped. Most rods can be equipped only by Force, and a new character of the class is granted a Rod as their first weapon.

Controls[]

Pressing the normal attack button performs an attack scaling with a character's S-ATK. This attack can hit multiple targets in front of the character. Alternatively, a character may set a Technique in place of the normal attack.

The lack of rod Photon Arts is made up for with techniques, up to four of which can be set in a rod's weapon palette. Pressing the Photon Art button will cast the Technique in the palette's second slot. Holding the weapon action button allows the third and fourth Techniques to replace the normal attack and second Technique. A character must have Force, Techer, or Bouncer as their main or sub class to cast. Techniques come in six elements: Fire, Ice, Bolt, Wind, Light, and Dark.

Pressing the evade button performs a mirage escape while wielding a rod, regardless of class.
