An attack is one of the most basic ways to damage a monster in PSO.

Types of attacks

Normal attack

A Normal Attack.pngnormal attack deals damage equivalent to [(ATP - DFP)/5] x 0.9. In-depth ATP calculation can be found on the game mechanics page.

Heavy attack

A Heavy Attack.pngheavy attack deals 1.89x more damage and has 0.7x the accuracy of a normal attack. A heavy attack will push back an enemy hit by it, with some exceptions (e.g. Ob Lily).

Special attack

See also: Special attacks

A Extra Attack.pngspecial attack has 0.5x the accuracy of a normal attack, doesn't fill the Photon Blast gauge, and doesn't push enemies back. These properties don't apply to Sword icon.pngVjaya, Sword icon.pngDark Flow, Gun icon.pngDark Meteor, Gun icon.pngFrozen Shooter, and Gun icon.pngSnow Queen, whose special attacks have 0.7x the accuracy of a normal attack, do fill the Photon Blast gauge, and can push enemies back, similar to a heavy attack.

A sacrificial special attack – Charge, Spirit, or Berserk – deals 3.33x the damage of a normal attack. Sword icon.pngVjaya's special attack deals 5.67x the damage of a normal attack.

A melee attack whose special fails the accuracy check deals 0.56x the damage of a normal attack.

HP drain, TP drain, EXP steal, Freezing, Paralysis and Confusion weapon special attacks deal 0.67x the damage of a normal attack. Additionally, HP drain attacks deal damage equal to the HP drained from the enemy.

Sword icon.pngOrotiagito's piercing wave special attack deals 1.94x the damage of a normal attack, and Sword icon.pngRaikiri's similar special attack deals 0.97x the damage of a normal attack.

Critical hit

If any attack is a critical hit, it will deal 1.5x the damage it would otherwise deal. Critical hits occur at a rate of (Attacker's LCK) / 5%. Monsters have a critical hit rate of LCK / 2%.

Attack combos

Almost any weapon can attack in a three-hit timed combo; for weapons that cannot, see the list of weapons which cannot combo. The first attack of a combo has no accuracy modifier, the second has a 1.3x accuracy modifier, and the third has a 1.69x accuracy modifier.
