Photon Art Reviews

Here I will be reviewing photon arts. The guide on psupedia gives hits, %s and who it's useable by, but there are some key properties in a photon art that are not written down anywhere (that I am familiar with). Therefor, I have taken it upon myself to write this guide, and give a deeper understanding of different PA's. Note that the grading here is a bit subjective for the moment, a I have not yet gone through the trouble of actually timing PA's and whatnot. I'll be doing most things from memory, also. Therefor, if there are any inaccuracies, please do note them. However, if there is critique on the grades I give PA's in the different fields, you might be so kind as to keep them to yourself. Each of the PA's I reviewed I have personally trained to lv40, so I know what I'm talking about.

Grading system: In each category the PA can score up to 10 points, and in te end they get a grade out of 100%. if i find the PA to be the best of all PA's in that category, it will get 15/10, and thus, 5 bonuspoints. The categories are the following:

  • Damage over time: The amount of damage a PA can rack up over time. This holds into account the amount of targets it can hit, and the PA's accuracy multiplier. It also takes into account how fast the PA does so. This gives an idea of the damage efficiëncy of the PA. This is damage you wil practically be doing.
  • Damage over PP: The amount of damage a PA can do in reflection to the PP cost, and thus also the targets it hits. This gives an idea of the brute force of the PA. This is damage you theoretically should be doing.
  • Just Attack: How easy this is to just attack (a big time window for the JA), or if this PA gives a significant drop in any other field, if the JA is used.
  • Defensive ability: How easy it is to get hit while using this PA; basically, if the PA leaves you open for enemy attacks. This gives an idea on if the PA is agressive (and attacks constantly), or if there are some thwirly moves, which are a waste of time.
  • Flexibility: How flexible the PA is. Some PA's can be steered while they are executing, in different degrees. Some PA's move you quite some distances over the battlefield. Some PA's are even so flexible, that you can avoid enemy attacks with them. This gives an idea on how much the PA can move the person over the battlefield. An important property, as this may be used to avoid enemy attacks, while attacking yourself, or if the enemy suddenly moves from his position, still move so that you still hit it.
  • Tactical prowess: How the combo of the attack takes into account it's previous moves, and builds up momentum. It holds into account properties like wipeout, launch, blowaway. (eg if you first launch and then blowaway, that is good, if you first blowaway, and then launch, that is not good)
  • Team play: How much the team will appreciate this PA.
  • Level speed: How fast it levels. Note that this is a measurement for how long it would take to level, if you just battle with it, not if you use special fast levelling techniques.
  • Obtainability: How easily the PA is obtainable.
  • Style: How badass or funny the PA is. Hey. This is a critical issue.

Dam/PP Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Too expensive for what it is. But double sabers recover PP fast anyway.
Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-S.gif Actually doesn't worsen the combo whatsoever. Easy to hit, too.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Makes you look like a masochist. The final part is nigh-on useless because of this.

Tactics Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Ok, in truth, the buildup of melee effects is good, but that is kind of negated by the duration of the last part..
Team Play Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif Nice, doesn't hurt the team, and launches.

Dam/PP Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif Cheapest knuckle PA in terms of PP.
Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Might be a little tricky to find it at first, but it doesn't create huge openings.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif When using JA it becomes a little open, but otherwise it's rock-solid defense.
Flexibility Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif The last part is flexible, the others less so, but not stiff.
Tactics Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-S.gif Very good! Knockback and going after it. The only thing that's silly is that the first hit of the last part will hardly ever connect.

Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-S.gif Easy and no downsides.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif The beginning and middle leave holes on the side.
Flexibility Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Your reach falls somewhat short at times, and it's not very steerable.

Dam/PP Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif Not the kindest of knuckle PA's on PP.
Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Since this is a one-hitter, this takes a toll. However, knuckles are fast enough that it matters little.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif The beginning leaves you open (but not really THAT long, unlike anga jabroga), the ending makes you nigh on invincible.
Flexibility Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Not the most steerable, but it has a decent reach.
Tactics Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-S.gif It hits fast enough to hit the target with all 4 hits before it's to high (because of the launch) so that you can't hit it anymore.
Team Play Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-S.gif Saves lives and doesn't annoy.

Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Not easy to just attack, rather hard actually. However, it has next to no effect on it's speed, since it's slow already.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Bottom feeder. Just pray your character doesn't evade the attacks, and just takes them.
Flexibility Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gif Quite flexible, however the reach is sometimes a bit short.

Just Attack Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif It's a bit tricky to get sometimes, and it does slow it down, althought hat doesn't have big side effects.
Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif Both good and bad. It makes a lot of targets flinch, but with JA, it leaves quite the opening.

Defense Star-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-C.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-B.gifStar-A.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gifStar-Grey.gif The first part requires time to charge, as does the last attack. Blowdown on the second reduces this though.
