The Waker Class is Now Available in PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 NEW GENESIS

Last month, SEGA announced the new Waker class for Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis. The class has officially hit the free-to-play action RPG, so it might be time to dust off the game and check out what a Waker can do. In short, Wakers use Photon Life Forms (aka Familiars) to do combat.

These Familiars are summoned using a Harmonizer which can also change the fighting style of the Familiar to best fit the situation. It sounds a bit more technical than the other classes, but it could be fun depending on your play style.

Waker has three Photon Life Forms, called Familiars, that support them in combat: Fredran, Wulfen, and Marmelo. Unlike pets, Familiars do not need to be fed or raised. Players can use the Harmonizer to easily interchange their fighting style from ranged attack, short-range combat, and defense. Both Fredran and Wulfen can be summoned with Photon Arts. While Fredran specializes in long-range attacks, Wulfen prefers to get up close and personal. Marmelo can be summoned with Weapon Actions and can defend against enemy attacks as well as dish out powerful counterattacks.

The Harmonizer has its own gauge system called the Harmonizer Focus. Each familiar has a different Harmonizer Focus Gauge which fills up when attacking or defending against enemies. By consuming Fredran and Wulfen's Focus Gauge, the two can combine forces to unleash their powerful special move, Familiar Harmony.

You can play Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis now on PC and Xbox One.
