Attack

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

Types of attacks

Normal attack

A normal 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 deals 1.89x the damage of a normal attack and has 0.7x the accuracy of a normal attack.

Special attack

A special attack has 0.5x the accuracy of a normal attack, except for Vjaya and Dark Flow, whose specials have 0.7x the accuracy of a normal attack. A sacrificial special attack – Charge, Spirit, or Berserk – deals 3.32x the damage of a normal attack. Vjaya's special attack deals 5.56x the damage of a normal attack.

Attack combos

Almost any weapon can attack in a three-hit timed combo; for weapons that cannot, see 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.
