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 20 types of weapons in Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, split into 3 categories of weapons: Melee, ranged or 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.
