Etoile<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Unlocking Etoile requires two classes at Level 75.<\/p>\n

Dual Blades<\/h2>\n

Features<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

[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.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the weapon action can also [Parry]. Activate your parry to block the enemy's attacks and execute an unabated onslaught.<\/p>\n

Wand<\/h2>\n

Features<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
