Etoile
Etoile, the third Successor Class, lands in PSO2 on December 18th! This class can equip Double Sabers, Dual Blades, and Wands, but is unable to use Techniques. Deflecting, parrying, and protecting are its specialties.
Unlocking Etoile requires two classes at Level 75.

Double Saber
Features
Guard while moving with the Double Saber's [Deflect] Weapon Action. It can be used during Normal Attacks and Photon Arts.
Perform a [Deflect Combo] by using the weapon action after deflecting. Aside from the attack it produces, the combo provides a way to move closer to the enemy while guarding. Executing a combo after a successful Just Guard will strengthen its attack. Keep this up and unleash a powerful string of counterattacks.
Etoile Double Saber – Photon Arts
|
Swiftly approach the enemy, perform a series of slashes, and finish with a sweeping circular strike.
|
| Absolute Quasar | |
 |
Glide forward, blades spiraling around your character, and follow up with a single slash. |
| Saber Destruction | |
 |
Leap into the air, perform a low horizontal slash, and pierce an enemy with several large blades from above. |
| Shooting Star | |
 |
After a quick downward strike, kick a large photon blade towards your foe that sends your character flying backwards. |
| Celestial Collide | |
Dual Blades
Features
While utilizing Dual Blades, an Etoile can launch [Edge] projectiles during Photon Arts. By activating your weapon action during [Step], you'll carry out a [Step Edge].
[Connect] is an attack that occurs by using the weapon action after performing a Step Edge. It consumes Gear and deals heavy damage to a wide area. Activating the weapon action once more leads to a [Full Connect] that further magnifies the damage.
Furthermore, the weapon action can also [Parry]. Activate your parry to block the enemy's attacks and execute an unabated onslaught.
Etoile Dual Blades – Photon Arts
 |
Plunge your blades into the enemy and slash outwards, accompanied by an Edge pincer attack. |
| Distortion Pierce | |
 |
Dart towards the enemy and strike with a series of slashes. Edge mows down a wide area. |
| Radiant Sting | |
 |
Sharply ascend and swoop down with a slash. Two large Edge blades pursue the enemy. |
| Vertical Flow | |
 |
Hurl forward several shockwaves. Two Edge blades come forth during the final portion. |
| Light Wave | |
Wand
Features
Wands have a [Charge Protect] weapon action that generates a protective barrier that requires Gear. Consuming a certain portion of the Gear Gauge initiates [Protect Release], delivering a powerful counterattack.
Activating the weapon action at a certain time during a PA will transform it into a [Focus PA], reducing its range but increasing the power.
Etoile Wand – Photon Arts
 |
Hold the PA button to glide forward and release to attack with a far-reaching slash. The focused version reduces the slash distance. |
| Prism Circular | |
 |
Become airborne and unleash a meteor shower. Focusing narrows its area of effect. |
| Glitter Stripe | |
 |
Emits a black hole that explodes with time. The explosion lasts longer during the focused version, but has a shorter range. |
| Black Hole Rupture | |
 |
Casts forward a long beam of light. Focusing shortens the beam. |
| Luminous Flare | |
