The Luster Class Will Be Arriving In Phantasy Star Online 2 In Next Week’s Update
Phantasy Star Online 2 will be getting its first major content update of the year next week featuring the new Luster Class, new story quests, a level cap increase, and more.
The Luster is a new successor class that can be unlocked upon reaching at least level 75 in two basic classes and the only class in the game that can only exclusively equip Gunslash weapon types. Gunslash weapons give ARKs wielding them the ability to switch combat stances depending on the weapon’s elemental attribute: Wind/Lightning for high-speed attacks, Fire/Dark for aggressive, close combat, and Ice/Light for defensive, long-range attacks. This allows the Luster to quickly adapt to any combat situation or role.
The upcoming update will also kick off Chapter 6 of the sci-fi MMORPG’s storyline and will feature new story quests that revolve around Shiva and the gathering Armada of Annihilation. The max level will also be bumped up to 100.
“The battle lines have been drawn, and the Armada of Annihilation continues to gather its forces around the Mothership. The time to strike is now, before any more Luminmech can be created. Sacrifices may be required as it's going to take an all-out, coordinated attack by ARKS to annihilate Shiva – and the fate of the universe depends on the outcome.”
Apart from new story quests, Ultra-Hard difficulties will be added for The Malevolent Void and The Call of the Void Urgent Quests along with Extreme and Elite Training simulations in the Risk Realm, all of which will offer better rewards to players who rise to the challenge.
Additionally, Summoners will also get a new arctic version of the Vulcan pet.
The new content hits the servers on February 3rd.
