Phantasy Star Nova allows players to install various facilities around the base. One such facility, the "Class Counter," enables the ability to switch to a different class. Just like PSO2, each class can be leveled up separately. Choose a quest with a difficulty that corresponds to your class level.
You can also acquire Gran Arts and Technics and increase their levels at this counter. These Arts can be yours as long as you supply them with specific materials. For example, the Rising Edge (GA) shown above, requires 2 Memory Fragment A's and a (Lightning) Gran Piece. A Foie (Technic) shown in another screenshot, required 2 Memory Fragment A's and a (Fire) Gran Piece.
You will learn different skills as you level up your class. These skills can be activated by setting them on a Skill Board. The board allows the placement of skills from other classes; so you can receive the effects of Force skills, while playing as a Hunter.
Placing certain skills together on the board can activate "Combo Effects." For example, when [S-ATK Up 1] is placed near [S-ATK Up 2], it unlocks the [S-ATK UP 3] combo effect.
There's a wide assortment of skills that can be acquired from each class.
For example:
- Hunters have a skill to increase the enemy hate.
- Rangers have a skill that can send the enemies flying.
- Forces have a skill to increase the power of Fire technics.
- Busters have a skill that allows other classes to equip Piles.
Among those, Anti-Bind (Bu), Standing Snipe (Ra), Tech Advance (Fo), and War Cry (Hu), are just a small sample of the skills that's available in the game.
As you advance through the game, you can access the weapon customization feature at the Weapon Shop. These customizations can be done through manufacturing items called "Attachment Parts." Each 'part' comes with an effect based on the 'cores' used as materials. Up to four parts can be attached to a weapon, which alters its appearance and grants it with various effects.
Eurude is a crustacean Gigantes carrying large weapon containers on the sides of its body. It can attack in various ways, from high powered lasers to gigantic missiles. With a tough shell covering the entire body, it may be difficult to intercept it unless you attack it at its weakpoint.
Initially, the base starts out deserted, but flourishes little by little as various facilities are created. Add some character to your base by customizing its look and feel.
Connect on Ad-hoc and play story quests together with your friends. Playing as the party leader allows your friends to visit your base.
