PSO2 Episode 5: Hero Class

Hero Class Unlocking

Phantasy Star Online 2 introduced the Hero class as part of its Episode 5 update. This class has the unique ability to fluidly switch between three weapon types in the heat of battle.

Heroes have swords, twin machine guns, and talises among their arsenal. Thanks to their unique Photon Arts and Weapon Actions, they'll utilize the weapons a bit differently than what we've seen so far.

In order to unlock the class, you'll need to acquire 1 Title. This client order unlocks upon heading to the Campship.

Title: まだ見ぬ境地へ

Have two classes at LV. 75+

Once you've acquired this Title, head to Koffie to clear the following:
