Left Weapons are basic equipment that is used to deal damage or inflict status effects on the various enemies of Ragol.

Saber, one of PSO's many weapons

All weapons do damage based off the ATP stat regardless of their type (melee, ranged, or technique), but many weapons also boost MST to improve the power of techniques, or increase the power of up to 3 specific techniques. In order to equip certain weapons, players must meet the stat requirement for the weapon, which is either ATP, ATA or MST.

Weapon Types

There are 19 types of weapons in Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, split into 3 categories of weapons: melee, ranged, and technique. In general, Hunters can equip all the melee weapons, Rangers can equip all the ranged weapons and Forces can equip all the technique weapons, but many weapon types can be worn by other classes, and certain weapons can only be equipped by specific classes (such as HUcast or RAmarl).

For weapon types that can be equipped by multiple classes, usually off-classes (e.g. Hunters and Handguns) can equip lower tier weaponry, whereas the higher tier weaponry is usually restricted to the class the weapon type is designed for. For example, Heaven Striker can only be equipped by Rangers, despite handguns being equippable by all.

ES Weapons

Main article: ES Weapons

ES weapons, informally known as S-Rank Weapons or S-Ranks, are a special category of weapon which encompass all the weapon types and a few extras, such as the Needle. They have the visual of a basic weapon with a brown photon. Unlike regular weapons, they have a few unique properties:

  • Custom 8-character name (A-Z only)
  • Cannot have any attributes
  • Can have a custom special applied, which has no reduction regardless of weapon type.

They are obtained after the completion of Challenge Mode with an S-Rank rating, the choice of weapon depending on the episode cleared.

TypeM Weapons

Main article: TypeM Weapons

TypeM Weapons are a special type of weapon introduced in Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst. They have the appearance of the normal weapon with a white photon, but many TypeM weapons have different animations than what is expected of them. For example, the weapon TypeDS/Rod uses a Double Saber animation with a Rod model.

There are 6 special TypeM weapons on Ephinea available only from events that come with hit and a special:
