Classes, also known as ''Jobs'' and ''Types'' are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. A Class essentially defines most of the abilities of your character, as well as the [[Weapons]] (s)he can use. PSU retains the three Classes from its predecessor, Phantasy Star Online. They are:

Battle Types, also unofficially known as ''Jobs'' or ''Classes'', are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine a character's [[Stats]], their level caps for [[Photon Arts]], which weapons they can use, how much [[PP]] certain weapons recover per interval, and proficiency with [[Traps]]. There are fifteen Types in total.  Three Basic Types are available immediately, nine Expert Types can be unlocked by attaining the required Type Levels in the Basic Types, and three Master Types can be unlocked by attaining the required Type Levels in the Expert Types.

Here is a quick overview of the different Types:

New [[Human]] and [[Beast]] characters start out as Hunters, while [[CASTs]] start as Rangers and [[Newmans]] as Forces.

== Type levels and changing Types ==
 +
 
 +
Separately from one's [[Character Level]], Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need to gain Type Experience Points, which are awarded after completing [[Missions]] (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level is currently capped at 20.
 +
 
 +
The following is a chart of mission points ('Type Experience') needed to level up the types:

You can change your current Type to any of the Types available at the ''Type Select Counter'' at Clyez City 5F on the Colony. By doing so, you will not get '''any''' of the benefits of your old Type in your new one. You will not lose your old Type level either though. Changing Types will cost a certain amount of [[Meseta]], dependent on one's [[Character Level]]. The formula for obtaining the cost of a Type change for any given Character Level is 150 + (50 * CL), where CL is the character's Character Level -- this is also represented in the following table.
  
−
* [[Hunters]] - the melee specialists of the game. They are the damage-dealers, who can take as much as they deal out. With their [[Photon Arts]] known as [[Skills]], they can execute powerful melee attacks.
+
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
−
* [[Rangers]] - the ranged specialists of the game. They can use their passive [[Photon Arts]] - [[Bullets]] - in order to cripple enemies with [[Status Effects]] such as ''Burn'' and ''Freeze''. They are also the most accurate Class in the game.

PSU also adds the [[Expert Class]] mechanic, although details on how this will work are scarce. It will, apparently, allow you to gain abilities from more than one Class, however.

When you change your Class, you do not get the benefits of your old Class in your new one. You cannot switch from Force to Hunter and use Techniques, for example. Nor do any stat bonuses from your old Class as a result of leveling the Class (see below) carry over to your new one. However if you switch to a different Class, and then switch back again, your old Character Level and abilities will still be there.

Rangers, Fighgunners, Guntechers, Fortegunners, Acrofighters, Acrotechers, Fighmasters and Gunmasters are able to use certain [[Traps]]; Protransers can use all of them at increased damage since it is their specialty; inflicting damage 50% greater than that of normal trap users.
−
Upon completing a [[Mission]], you will get a reward of [[Meseta]] and [[Points]] ('class experience') for the Class you were using in that Mission. Like with your [[Character Level]], once you receive enough Class Experience your class will level up. The benefits this brings are twofold:
 
  
−
* Firstly, your stats will increase, particularly those that are important for your Class. Hunters, for example, will get more [[HP]] and [[ATP]] than the other classes.
+
* A trap's SE should affect any monster that can be affected by that SE, despite normal restrictions of SE level. (Normal Traps work on Large monsters)
−
* Secondly, when reaching certain Class Levels you may '[[Rank]] Up' - that is to say, your proficiency with certain weapon types will increase, allowing you to use more powerful weapons. For example, you may level up your Hunter Class and upon reaching a certain Class Level for Hunters, your proficiency with [[Sabers]] may rise from C to B, allowing you to use B-Rank Sabers.
+
* SE levels remain constant despite level or Type.  
 +
* Trap damage itself, as well as SE's damage/effects are nonelemental; meaning that they are not affected by a monster's element.

* Traps charge SUV-bars and nanoblasts.

The maximum Class Level for any one Class is 20. Class Levels exist completely independently of your [[Character Level]].

Overview

Battle Types, also unofficially known as Jobs or Classes, are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine a character's Stats, their level caps for Photon Arts, which weapons they can use, how much PP certain weapons recover per interval, and proficiency with Traps. There are fifteen Types in total. Three Basic Types are available immediately, nine Expert Types can be unlocked by attaining the required Type Levels in the Basic Types, and three Master Types can be unlocked by attaining the required Type Levels in the Expert Types.

Here is a quick overview of the different Types:

Type levels and changing Types

Separately from one's Character Level, Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need to gain Type Experience Points, which are awarded after completing Missions (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level is currently capped at 20.

The following is a chart of mission points ('Type Experience') needed to level up the types:

Basic
Types 		Type Level 1→2 2→3 3→4 4→5 5→6 6→7 7→8 8→9 9→10 10+
To Next 60 70 80 100 120 130 140 150 150 Basic Types do not get stat increases after level 10.
You can still reach LV20: all you need is a total of 6000 MP.

You can change your current Type to any of the Types available at the Type Select Counter at Clyez City 5F on the Colony. By doing so, you will not get any of the benefits of your old Type in your new one. You will not lose your old Type level either though. Changing Types will cost a certain amount of Meseta, dependent on one's Character Level. The formula for obtaining the cost of a Type change for any given Character Level is 150 + (50 * CL), where CL is the character's Character Level -- this is also represented in the following table.

Char Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
