Game mechanics/Frame data

From Ephinea PSO Wiki

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst runs at 30 frames per second.

  • Combo is the frame data when this attack is not the ending step of a combo.
  • Full is the frame data when the combo ends on this attack.

Heavy and Special are the same unless explicitly marked.

Calculating a Combo[edit | edit source]

Examples using HUmar frame data:

Handgun N: N1(Full) = 27 = 27f total

Handgun NNN: N1(Combo) + N2(Combo) + N3(Full) = 14 + 11 + 19 = 44f total

Handgun NH: N1(Combo) + H2(Full) = 14 + 30 = 44f total

Photon Blast[edit | edit source]

Startup for the first player is 61 frames. Players chaining will join the first player for however many startup frames were left.

Twins is 255 frames, all other PBs are 254. Two PB chains are 404 frames.

HP Drain[edit | edit source]

Weapon Frames
Psycho Wand (any spell) 15
Lavis Blade (first drain) 20
Lavis Cannon 21
Raikiri, Orotiagito 22
Gal Wind 23
Soul Banish 23+1*
Double Cannon, Girasole 25
Lavis Blade (second drain) 27

* Soul Banish drains on frame 23 but adds one additional frame to the collapse animation

Total time to revive with a scape doll:

(time to drain) + 7f (collapsing) + 119f (dead) + 70f (reviving) + 1f (standing but cannot act)

So for example, with lavis blade, it would be 20+7+119+70+1 = 217f total, or 7.23 seconds for a full retrap.

Block Recoil[edit | edit source]

Blocking damage (EVP or DFP block) leaves the character in recoil for 8 frames.
