Types (戦闘タイプ, ''Battle Types''), also known as ''Jobs'' or ''Classes'', are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine one's [[Stats]], their level caps for [[Photon Arts]], what weapons they can use and how fast these regenerate [[PP]] per interval, and in the case of the special 'Protranser' Type, also proficiency with [[Traps]]; essentially, these factors will influence one's playing style. There are ten classes, in total, three of which are Basic ones that are available from the start, and seven are universally superior Expert ones derived from these that can only be unlocked later on, by attaining the required Type Levels in the Basic Types. For people interested in playing the hybrid Types, it might be good to keep in mind the maximum amount of Photon Arts that can be learned at a time is 36.

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:

Separately from one's [[Character Level]], Types can be leveled up for stat increases. To do so, you will need Points ('Type Experience'), which are, like [[Meseta]], gained after completing [[Missions]] (check the article for in-depth info regarding amounts). The maximum Type level will eventually be 20, but currently it is locked at 10.

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.

Rangers, Figunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners are able to use certain [[Traps]] (details?); Protransers can use all of them at increased effect, since it is their specialty.

=== PP Regeneration ===
 
 
 
Every five seconds, Weapons regenerate a certain amount of PP. Offline this is always one, but online the amount is variable, and Types get regeneration bonuses for their 'native' weapon types as well (more info about the regeneration rates [[Weapons|here]]):
 
 
 
* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Melee Weapons: Hunters, Wartechers and Fortefighters.
 
* +40% bonus to PP Regeneration on Melee Weapons: Figunners.
 
* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Ranged Weapons: Rangers, Figunners, Guntechers and Fortegunners.
 
* +25% bonus to PP Regeneration on Casting Weapons: Forces, Guntechers, Wartechers and Fortechers.
 
 
 
=== PP Consumption ===
 
 
 
Fortefighters, Fortegunners and Fortechers consume only 80% of the original PP when using Skills, Bullets and Techniques, respectively.

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

Additional Bonuses

Traps

Main article: Traps

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.

  • 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)
  • 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.

Every five seconds, weapons recover a certain amount of PP. This amount is variable, and Types get recovery bonuses for their 'native' weapon types as well (more info about the recovery rates here):

  • +25% bonus to PP recovery on ranged weapons: Rangers, Fighgunners, Acrofighters, Acrotechers, Guntechers and Fortegunners.

  • +80% bonus to PP recovery on striking weapons: Acrofighters.
  • +80% bonus to PP recovery on TECHNIC weapons: Acrotechers.

PP Consumption

Fortefighters, Fortegunners and Fortetechers consume only 80% of the original PP when using Skills, Bullets and TECHNICs, respectively.

Acrofighters, Acrotechers, Fighmasters, and Gunmasters have a faster attack speed than other types.

Penalties

Favored Types

Online, some of the possible combinations of Races and Types gains additional statistical bonuses, the figures of which depend on the Types themselves, and are the same for all stats. While calculating bonuses, these are separate to and applied cumulatively with the Type figures (as seen in the sections below) against the 'base stats' for certain Races/genders. These bonuses exist for the following combinations:
