Line 1: Line 1:
The '''accuracy glitch''' (commonly referred to as the "SNS glitch", or simply "SNS") is a glitch that alters the accuracy of [[attack|attacks]] in a combo. The term is typically associated with ranged attacks utilizing both components of the glitch, particularly {{Sword|Slicer}} type weapons in order to greatly increase accuracy.
<!--Creating this page and just gonna start dumping some stuff on it-->
This page is intended to serve as a reference for terminology and abbreviations regularly used in discussion of ''Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst'' that may not be familiar to all players.


The two parts of the accuracy glitch are '''Combo Step modifier''' inheritance and '''Attack Type modifier''' inheritance. A select few '''melee''' weapon attacks can utilize only the first part, while most '''ranged''' weapon attacks can utilize both.

==Primary example==
====Ranged weapons====
:''Refer to [[Terminology#Gameplay|gameplay terminology]] for more information on SNS, NHS, SSS, S1, N2 and other combo notation.''
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
!Term || Item Name
|-
|Auto-aim || While all aiming is essentially "automatic" in ''PSO'', the term "auto-aim" is used to refer to certain ranged weapons which have attack ranges equivalent to that of a [[Shots|shot]]-type weapon, which gives them a much wider [[Weapons#Distances and angles|horizontal targeting ability]]. In practice, this enables characters to automatically attack enemies coming toward them without having to readjust to compensate for a narrower targeting angle.  


The most common useful example of accuracy glitch is an SNS combo with {{Sword|rare|Slicer of Fanatic}} at medium distance. Without accuracy glitch, the accuracy modifiers on the S1 attack of this combo would be <code>1.0 * 0.5</code> = <code>0.5</code>, but with the accuracy glitch the modifiers on the S1 attack become those of N2: <code>1.3 * 1.0</code> = <code>1.3</code>.
Some examples of weapons with this feature include the special attack of {{Gun|rare|Heaven Striker}}, {{Gun|rare|Rianov303SNR-2}}, and the non-Divine Punishment special attack of {{Gun|rare|Mille Marteaux}}.
 
|-
This results in a little more than '''2.5x''' the expected effective accuracy, allowing a typically incredibly inaccurate S1 attack to be more reliable than an N1 attack (<code>1.0 * 1.0</code> = <code>1.0</code>) or an S3 attack (<code>1.69 * 0.5</code> = <code>0.845</code>). This allows even low [[ATA]] characters to fight high [[EVP]] [[monsters]] more easily and effectively, while also elevating the ceiling of strong combos for high ATA characters with good positioning.
|CR || style="text-align:left" | {{Gun|rare|Cannon Rouge}}
 
The SNS combo - or simply SN combo if S3 accuracy is not reliable - can be effective against a majority of monsters in the game. However, if the monster is exceedingly evasive like [[Deldepth]] or [[Ill Gill]], the glitch can be pushed to even further effectiveness with a NSN combo (<code>1.69 * 1.0</code> = <code>1.69</code>), glitching S2's projectile with N3's accuracy modifiers. This is notably useful for a [[FOmar]] without [[Red Ring]]'s addition ATA bonus using Hell {{Sword|es|ES Slicer}} or {{Sword|es|ES J-Cutter}} against many of the medium-high EVP monsters in Episode 2.
 
==Components==
===Combo Step modifier inheritance===
 
This portion of the glitch is usable both by '''all ranged weapons''' provided enough distance as well as '''a select few melee weapon types''' that have combo and animation timings allowing the next combo input to be queued before the previous attack hits a monster - most notably usable on first combo step's second hit for [[Daggers]] and [[Twin Sabers]] weapon types.
 
This modifier is updated '''at the time the player queues an attack'''. In any case that a weapon's earlier attack does not hit a monster until after the next attack is queued, the earlier attack will inherit the later attack's '''Combo Step''' modifier.
 
'''Combo Step modifier''' refers to the accuracy adjustment multiplier based on which step of the 3 hit combo the player is on, using the following values:
 
* '''Combo Step modifier''' is:
** First attack: 1.0
** Second attack: 1.3
** Third attack: 1.69
 
===Attack Type modifier inheritance===
 
This portion of the glitch is usable by '''most ranged weapons''' provided enough distance. '''Melee weapons cannot utilize this component''' unless the glitched attack is one of a few projectile special attacks on select weapons.
 
This modifier is updated '''at the time of a projectile's creation''' in the player's attack animation. In almost any case that a weapon's earlier projectile does not hit a monster until after the next projectile is created, the earlier attack will inherit the later attack's '''Attack Type modifier'''.
 
:''Some ranged weapon projectiles will not inherit Attack Type modifier, namely every Card-type weapon'' except ''{{Cane|es|ES Cards}}.''
 
An attack must be queued before a projectile can be created, so any case of ranged '''Attack Type modifier''' inheritance will also imply a '''Combo Step modifier''' inheritance.
 
'''An Attack Type modifier inheritance will ''always'' be accompanied by a Combo Step modifier inheritance''', but not the other way around.
 
The player receiving damage after the next attack is queued but before the projectile is created will interrupt the animation prior to the projectile's creation. In this case, the previous ranged attack will inherit the '''Combo Step modifier''', but not the '''Attack Type modifier'''.
 
:''Canceling a projectile's creation by having a menu open or toggling to an alternate palette with no attack inputs bound will'' '''not''' ''interfere with the Attack Type modifier inheritance or Combo Step modifier inheritance of the previous attack.''
 
'''Attack Type modifier''' refers to the accuracy adjustment multiplier based on the type of attack, using the following values:
 
* '''Attack Type modifier''' is:
** Normal: 1.0
** Heavy: 0.7
** Special: 0.5 (Some [[Attack#Special attack|special attacks]] use the 0.7 Heavy modifier)
 
==Weapon type uses==
===Melee weapons===
Most melee weapons are unable to accuracy glitch. If the weapon type or specific weapon is not listed here, it is not known to be able to be accuracy glitched under standard battle speeds up to the maximum of 40% battle speed provided by {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Battle}} or {{Unit|rare|V101}}.
 
====Daggers====
[[Daggers]] hit two times per combo step. For both the first combo step and the second combo step, the second hit can be accuracy glitched for an increased combo step modifier.
 
Examples:
* HHH combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: H1 H1, H2 H2, H3 H3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: H1 '''H2''', H2 '''H3''', H3 H3
* SNS combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: S1 S1, N2 N2, S3 S3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: S1 '''S2''', N2 '''N3''', S3 S3
* NSS combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: N1 N1, S2 S2, S3 S3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: N1 '''N2''', S2 '''S3''', S3 S3
 
====Double Sabers====
[[Double Sabers]]' combo steps hit in a pattern of two hits, one hit, then three hits. For the first combo step, the second hit can be accuracy glitched for an increased combo step modifier.
 
Examples:
* HHH combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: H1 H1, H2, H3 H3 H3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: H1 '''H2''', H2, H3 H3 H3
* SNS combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: S1 S1, N2, S3 S3 S3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: S1 '''S2''', N2, S3 S3 S3
* NSS combo:
** Standard accuracy per hit: N1 N1, S2, S3 S3
** Glitched accuracy per hit: N1 '''N2''', S2, S3 S3
 
====Projectile-based melee weapon specials====
The following melee weapons have projectile special attacks that are able to be fully accuracy glitched.

====Technique weapons====
====Slicers====
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
[[Slicers]] are the easiest and most popular weapon type to accuracy glitch. The projectiles are relatively slow yet very resilient against manual evasion even during long bullet travel time.

====Handguns====
===Barriers===
[[Handguns]] have relatively fast projectiles and medium-long range. They can be accuracy glitched starting at a medium distance. For targets at longer distances, it is best if the monster is stationary or immobilized with {{freeze}} or {{paralysis}} status effects. Otherwise, the long bullet travel time against fast moving monsters in Ultimate difficulty leaves the attack susceptible to manual evasion.

====Mechguns====
===Units===
[[Mechguns]] have relatively fast projectiles, relatively slow animation, and medium-short range. However, there is a small positioning window near the maximum targeting range where they can be accuracy glitched.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"

However, the longer travel time and inherent knockback property of Heavy attacks can cause manual evasion, interfering with the effectiveness of accuracy glitching at long range. Players can avoid these drawbacks when using increased range Mechgun accuracy glitching against targets that cannot be pushed back, do not move, or are immobilized with {{Freeze}} or {{Paralysis}} status effects.

====Rifles====
==Quests==
[[Rifles]] have relatively fast projectiles and a slower animation than Handguns, but can be accuracy glitched at medium to long distances. This is easiest to perform on stationary monsters, as the long bullet travel time leaves the attack susceptible to manual evasion.

====Shots====
==Community==
[[Shots]] have relatively fast projectiles, relatively slow animation, and medium range. There is a small positioning window near the maximum range where they can be accuracy glitched.
===Gameplay===
 
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
=====Baranz Launcher=====
!Term || Meaning || Description
{{Gun|rare|Baranz Launcher}} is a Shot-type weapon with incredibly slow projectiles. Unlike Slicers, it is highly susceptible to manual evasion beyond very short range.
|-
 
|0FT || Zero Freeze Traps || Used by android players to indicate that they have depleted their stock of [[Traps#Freeze traps|freeze traps]] and will be unable to control the next incoming spawn(s). Other android players in the party should attempt to step in if they still have freeze traps remaining.
It is very easily accuracy glitched from even very short distances where manual evasion is much less of an issue.
|-
 
|CK || [[Combo Kill]] || A term used to refer to a character's ability to defeat an enemy in ''one full combo''. The ability to "combo kill" certain enemies is often used as a measurement of a character or weapon's effectiveness .
Any [[Ranger]] with max [[ATA]] equipped with a 50 Hit Baranz Launcher and attacking [[frozen]] monsters is capable of a very reliable accuracy glitched SSS combo against all but the most evasive targets - these targets can be reliably be handled with accuracy glitched SHS combo instead.
|-
 
|DMC || [[damage cancel|Damage Cancel]] || An unintended game mechanic ('''no longer present on Ephinea''') whereby players using techniques or dealing damage values (typically referring to lower damage values) could "override" the damage values of other characters, which often resulted in certain strategies being more effective at killing enemies than others (e.g. an enemy hit by a Force's lower-damage {{Rafoie}} at the same time as another character's higher-damage [[Weapons#Sacrificial damage increase|charge]] weapon attack would ''only'' take the lower damage from the Rafoie).
====Launchers====
|-
[[Launcher|Launchers]] projectiles behave differently from standard photon bullet projectiles. These have "infinite vertical" reach above and below the projectile and do not require reticle on a target at the time the bullet is fired to hit it: the projectile will hit whatever target it collides with.
|CT<br>DT<br>FT || Confuse Trap<br>Damage Trap<br>Freeze Trap || The different kinds of [[traps]] android characters can deploy to damage enemies or inflict them with [[Status effects|status effects]].
 
|-
Launchers have slow animations and identical horizontal range to Handguns. Similarly, they can be accuracy glitched at medium-long distance.
|NNN<br>NHS<br>(any combination of N/H/S) || Normal<br>Hard<br>Special || The different types of attacks used to make up a combo. The order of letters refers to the order in which attacks are used in a combo.
 
<!--*|"N1", "H1", "S3" (or any of the above letters followed by a number from 1-3) || Used to refer to using the corresponding type of attack as the corresponding step in the combo (e.g. H2 meaning heavy attack as the second hit, S3 meaning special attack as the third hit, etc.).-->
====Cards====
[[Cards]] use modified launcher projectiles but typically cannot be accuracy glitched. However, {{Cane|es|ES Cards}} and can be fully accuracy glitched at medium range, giving the player a fast single target, high accuracy attempt at a Hell or Demons special activation attack that can be queued and pre-fired before a monster has fully spawned in and become targetable.  
 
ES Cards can also be Combo Step glitched with no distance needed.
 
====Slingshot glitch====
The "slingshot glitch" refers to swapping weapons and firing immediately, before the new weapon finishes its load-in animation. When this happens, bullets originate from the last location that the weapon was equipped on the current map (or from the default <code>0,0,0</code> origin of the map if the weapon was not equipped previously in the current map), leading to potentially very long travel time to the target destination.
 
:''{{Frame|rare|Stealth Suit}} eliminates the weapon load-in animation, making the slingshot glitch impossible.''
 
In these cases, the player may have time to complete an entire combo and begin one or more combos before the very first slingshotted bullet(s) arrive at their target. The slingshotted bullet(s) receive the Combo Step accuracy modifier of the most recent Combo Step queued, and the Attack Type accuracy modifier of the most recent projectile created.
 
Note that all currently active projectiles are destroyed upon changing equipped weapon. There is no opportunity to use slingshot accuracy glitching with any weapon swap stat adjustments.
 
===Combo-locked weapons===
Weapons that cannot make a combo attack are also inherently unable to accuracy glitch. The following table lists all combo-locked weapons on ''Ephinea''.

===Other notes===
===Symbol Chat===
While the accuracy glitch typically improves accuracy, there are instances in which the glitch ''decreases'' accuracy. For example, a ranged attack combo of NSS at long range will cause N1 (<code>1.0 x 1.0 = 1.0</code>) to use S2 (<code>1.3 x 0.7 = 0.91</code>) Combo Step and Attack Type modifiers. In these cases, the player can intentionally delay the S2 input to ensure the S2 projectile is not created before the N1 projectile hits the monster, preserving the higher N1 accuracy modifiers for the N1 attack.
Symbol Chat can be used in-game and can mean many things depending on context.
 
"'''Hello'''" can mean:
 
* Follow me
* Come stand where I am (there may be an upcoming [[Delbiter]] or [[Dorphon]] which will charge when it spawns)  
* I have just used a telepipe so that you can warp to my location
* I am ready to rejoin the main group and need someone to use a telepipe
* I have rejoined the main group


Given the above circumstance and depending on the positioning and timing, the player can choose to:
"'''Goodbye'''" can mean:  
* Attack as fast as possible to fully accuracy glitch, provided enough distance.
* Delay an input slightly in order to land the previous attack between when the next combo step input is pressed and when the next combo step projectile is created, accuracy glitching only combo step modifier for improved accuracy.
* Delay an input longer in order to not use any form of accuracy glitch at this point in the combo. However, the player can choose to accuracy glitch the next attack instead.
** The long range NSS example above would be best handled with a long delay between the N1 input and S2 input, but no delay between the S2 and S3 inputs. This results in the accuracy modifier for the three combo steps in sequence to become N1, S3, and S3.

Ranged weapons

Term Item Name
Auto-aim While all aiming is essentially "automatic" in PSO, the term "auto-aim" is used to refer to certain ranged weapons which have attack ranges equivalent to that of a shot-type weapon, which gives them a much wider horizontal targeting ability. In practice, this enables characters to automatically attack enemies coming toward them without having to readjust to compensate for a narrower targeting angle.

Some examples of weapons with this feature include the special attack of Gun icon.pngHeaven Striker, Gun icon.pngRianov303SNR-2, and the non-Divine Punishment special attack of Gun icon.pngMille Marteaux.

CR Gun icon.pngCannon Rouge
DB Gun icon.pngDual Bird

TTF Quest icon.pngTowards the Future A quest that is the fastest method for repeatedly fighting Dark Falz, as well as being an effective method of leveling characters.

Episode 2

Term Quest Name Description
ANH Quest icon.pngA New Hope An older, story-focused, one-player mode-only custom quest that is notable for including a fight with two consecutive Gal Gryphons. Also features VR Temple Alpha as an unlockable area, accessible only after clearing the rest of the quest, which offers an extremely large number of high-density enemy spawns in one room.

PW# Quest icon.pngPhantasmal World (series) High-enemy-density quest series for Episode 2 similar to the Endless Nightmare quests, taking place in Jungle/Seaside, Mountain/CCA, Seabed, and Control Tower (1-4, respectively). Notably, they award Lucky Coins for clearing.

PoD Quest icon.pngPoint of Disaster A quest that quickly leads the party to a fight with Shambertin, making it particularly effective for repeated chances at encountering Kondrieu.

Note: Point of Disaster can only be selected from the quest menu and played if all players in the party are on a team with the quest unlocked (party members do not need to be on the same team).

Gameplay

Term Meaning Description
0FT Zero Freeze Traps Used by android players to indicate that they have depleted their stock of freeze traps and will be unable to control the next incoming spawn(s). Other android players in the party should attempt to step in if they still have freeze traps remaining.
CK Combo Kill A term used to refer to a character's ability to defeat an enemy in one full combo. The ability to "combo kill" certain enemies is often used as a measurement of a character or weapon's effectiveness .
DMC Damage Cancel An unintended game mechanic (no longer present on Ephinea) whereby players using techniques or dealing damage values (typically referring to lower damage values) could "override" the damage values of other characters, which often resulted in certain strategies being more effective at killing enemies than others (e.g. an enemy hit by a Force's lower-damage Rafoie.pngRafoie at the same time as another character's higher-damage charge weapon attack would only take the lower damage from the Rafoie).
CT
DT
FT		 Confuse Trap
Damage Trap
Freeze Trap		 The different kinds of traps android characters can deploy to damage enemies or inflict them with status effects.
NNN
NHS
(any combination of N/H/S)		 Normal

OPM One Person Mode -
RT Retrap Used by android players to indicate that they are about to die intentionally and use a Tool icon.pngScape Doll to restore their traps. It is said in advance of the intentional death, as revival by the Scape Doll can be interrupted by the usage of a Tool icon.pngMoon Atomizer or Reverser.pngReverser, disrupting the process and not restoring the player's traps (and thus should be avoided).
TPD TP Death Used in Challenge mode to denote an intentional death for the purpose of using a Scape Doll to fully restore TP.
TP Can refer to either:
Tool icon.pngTelepipe
Team Point 		For "Team Point," it is usually referring to the act of converting an item into Team Points (e.g. Player 1: "I just found <bad item>!" Player 2: "TP it LOL")
00
100
Any two numbers		 Progress of your Photon Blast It's common to type "00" or "100" to quickly tell your team that you have 100% charge for a Photon Blast. Any numbers can be used to tell your team what % you're currently on in other circumstances. It is also common to pair this with the below terminology to state you are at 100% and what Photon Blast you intend on using (e.g: "00 Twins.")
Twins Mylla & Youlla.pngMylla & Youlla A Photon Blast which grants Shifta.pngShifta and Deband.pngDeband, and can be used in chains to grant higher levels than techniques can normally provide. Term usage is to dictate that you are going to use Mylla & Youlla in the Photon Blast chain.
Dolphin Estlla.pngEstlla A Photon Blast with a linear attack that strikes enemies in front. Term usage is to dictate that you are going to use Estlla in the Photon Blast chain.

NoFo No Force The players currently in the party already include a Force, and would prefer a character of a class other than Force to join.
Res Reserved Indicates a game that is reserved for specific or pre-determined players only. Use of this term is not ideal, as it is not a commonly-understood term, and may result in communication issues. Passwords do not have these problems.
