Great tips! I, however, am always dodging and attacking at the same time so the Shift PA L Ring for Phantom comes *REALLY* handy for me xD. I'll try to use the Stationary ones when I can though!
In my opinion the shift ring doesn’t really benefit phantom rifle because your main combos rely on non shifted versions. Especially when step attack is that strong, after stepping in most cases there’s no reason to replace it by a shifted PA. And if your goal is to get rid of weapon action to activate (s) PA, it’s not a great deal because step + PA is slower than WA+PA so you will lose dps. In the end the only utility I found on this ring is maybe with rod since gameplay is based mainly on techs and just a few PAs.
Thank you for making this, really informative to make an educated decision on combo-ing mid fight :) please don't mind the other comment, i really do prefer this kind of format :)
oh can you also add a rough dps estimation to sideways verbrechen? i am wondering if it might be useful for positioning while doing good damage compared to step attacking
@@wandeezpso2114 thank you! I was looking for a PA to dump my PP on whenever the enemy is too mobile/aggresive to use nacht, shift kugel, or frontal verbrechen, since apparently shift nacht and kugel are worse than step attack dps-wise, and thought that side verbrechen might work..? do you have any thoughts on this?
@@nine3374 I would definitely recomend step attacks. But sometimes side verbrechen fits better. For example if you want to stay in the air at a certain height to follow with f/b verbrechen combo (on persona's head for instance) or if you can hit multiple targets/points. I also like to use it against masquerade when he throws projectiles at me ans to dodge geysers. just don't spam it too much, try doing it to position yourself for another PA. You can me use it a few times versus masquerade in this video : ruclips.net/video/EB6oxAYVmH0/видео.html But keep in mind that on this fight I use "unconventional rotations" because the boss became imune to every attack dealing more than 10% of its HP (that explains kugel spam over steps^^).
@@nine3374 Tests with Side Verbrechen gave me following results : Combo 3b : Side Verbrechen Ver(s) > Ver(s) > 3rd From base : -25% Mark/s : 4,56 Comparing this to other combos : Step (-21%) > Verb(s) (-25%) > Kugel (-28,6%) So step is better as ST (also has better mark gen). But as an AOE it deals more damage than Kugel and has better mark gen but you don't have hyper armor and the AOE is really smaller.
Yeah of course ! I’m currently running : Units : trailblazer +190range/+20pp Weapon : Atlas Ex rifle + 85 range/about 7pp (can’t remember ^^)/phrase decay/S1 skillful adept/s2 precision will/s3 precision will/s4 lifesteal. But affix stats won’t change the damage that much, even +100-120 range is good. What makes a difference should be S1-s3 abilities and phrase decay affix (+5% extra damage on targets affected by jellen).
You will get more PP by leveling up. I think you get 2 pp per lvl from 90 to 100, before I can’t remember. Also Phantom has a skill in its skill tree that increase max PP by 20 I think. But most of it should come from gear. In this video I had +20pp per units, and about 10 on the weapon. With end game top gear you can easily reach 300pp.

@@phumrapeewichetthapong2955 Affixing is way more complicated than NGS. You can use SAF that's easy to use and some weapons give good augments. You can buy weapons to the market with a specific SAF. Here is the SAF list : pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Ability_Factors_(Weapons)_(PSO2) But be careful, to transfert an SAF you need as much or more slots than your main weapon, and you also have to put the SAF affix on the weapon first to be able to transfer. 13* Units do have SAF but you can't trade them so you won't find any at the market. And SAF on units are not very good : pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Ability_Factors_(Units)_(PSO2) But if you really want to get into affixing try to find tutorials because there's a lot to cover and you can ruin your affix/money with a single mistake. Croesus is an ok weapon serie for leveling, you shouldn't have any problem with that in term of damage. But you can get a better weapon from titles if you manage to beat the last challenge mode quest "Violent Tremor" (Fluxio Weapon serie). You can do it solo if you're skilled enough because I think you'll struggle a little to find groups running it atm. Damage is more reliant on your rotation and skill tree.
You don’t have to reset, on contrary you should max it. dodge counter shot buff your counters by 15% so it’s a key skill since phantom best move is step counter
hey sorry to bother you again, but can you do a calculation of rifle step attack with s5: steadfast expanse? turns out it's a pretty good dps increase, and might have a faster mark rate than normal step attack spam o/ that coupled with s4: steadfast will take step attack to a whole new level ngl
@@nine3374 That's a good question, S4 steadfast will is definetely a must have for rifle that probably putn it on par with verbrechen combo. For S5 i dont really know if it's better than other s5 but it could work. Unfortunately I can't test it since I don't have the S4, and my rifle is has been trade for a gunblade to play luster^^.
Rivilate without doubt ^^. I just finished mine and after testing it on rock bear It gives me 13-15% more damage than the Atlas Ex I have in this guide. And I don’t even have the S4 enhancing normal attacks yet. But Atlas is still good, especially since it will get an upgraded version of its potential probably in a few weeks/month that should bring it closer to the rivilate série (at least until rivilate gets its own potential upgrade).
@@wandeezpso2114 I mean might as well upslot the novel now in boost week, but rivalate seems to be pain in the ass to make, 200 class excubes and 50 ultimate boosters, yikes. Just started playing and I don't have many class excubes
@@Zanbatoss yeah that's a good idea, I've done it for my katana to prepare when I get enough mats and a 2nd rivilate key.

Are there any tips with the phantom rod? Like is it better to focus on techniques or on the weapon arts? Are there combos for rod? I kinda feel like a bozo using this class, I don't really deal any damage haha
I don’t play Ph rod at all. From what I know you just spam 1 or 2 light based techs and maybe channel the beam when boss is stun but not sure about that. For damage every ph weapon is good. Katana has the best raw dps but struggle with pp, rifle is an aoe beast but need good positioning and combo choice to perform as good on single target and rod is good everywhere since it’s so easy to spam tech with invulnerability and speed it gives you. But rod gameplay feels a bit brain dead to me so even if it should perform the best overall, I don’t use it.
I think you’re talking about the shifted version of Nachtangriff. If you hold the PA it let you run like this while consuming pp and at the end it fires 2 piercing shots that you can see in the combo at 4:04
I'm using a custom controller with 4 programable buttons added behind so I'm not sure it's interesting to make a video about it^^. But if you want to know this is what I use : (PS4 custom controller) Square/triangle/R1 : weapon pal actions X : Jump (mapped on custom button too) R2 : weapon action L2 : dodge L1 : Lock R3 : Use sub pal action L3 : change weapon pal select : open quick menu Directional cross : up : OTS view (mapped on custom button too) Right/left : navigate in sub pal (custom button too) down : basic palet navigation (default, I don't use it) To change weapon I use a keyboard with shortcuts.

Really digging this guide, showing every combo and comparing them is a great way to visualize the tools we have.
Also that's a great song damn.
I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I just started playing ph and this is really helpful
Thank you!
I’m glad this helps :)
Too many people overlook Ph Rifle's step attack. Seeing it actually have a section in this guide gave me a faith. Excellent video, man. Good stuff.
yeah that could be surprising at first, but damage talk by itself :)
I always use it for practical attack and also on New Genesis' ranger class.

For side verbrechen I think it's weaker, but I'll test it to confirm and give you results.

May I ask for the build you used in this video? I'm currently a level 85 Phantom and only doing a quarter of the damage than shown in this guide.
Yeah of course ! I’m currently running :
Units : trailblazer +190range/+20pp
Weapon : Atlas Ex rifle + 85 range/about 7pp (can’t remember ^^)/phrase decay/S1 skillful adept/s2 precision will/s3 precision will/s4 lifesteal.

Don't forget alliance attack buff, also phase decay in your weapon helps
