Sadly yeah. The devs themselves said it’s a different game made for a different playerbase…… This is why many of us still only play pso2, and refuse to touch NGS, even for the SG
Damn my gameplay is actually really similar to this but I'm struggling for DPS at stage 70 because I can't get my hands on the S4 steadfast or klaus units yet. Doing 300k per counter instead of the 400k here.. One weird thing I see is how fast you can detonate marker, for me it seems like I have to hold the weapon action for like half a second for it to actually works.
Hey I just started depth clearing sodam with ph rifle and your video really helps me out with it. Also, what is the voice you're using? I don't play with jp voices so I'm not sure if that's a base voice or a scratch item. Is it JP exclusive?
I was wondering if I could still accomplish depth 100 even if I'm not on Guardian souls like you are - sure I foresee I'll take longer but Im hoping it's not impossible :'D
Yeah, it's definitely possible without guardian soul units. As long as the s-abilities on your weapon are in order and you have a decent amount of atk from your units, you'll be good to go.👍
@@murakumomech5128 I see! well thanks to your setup, I was interested in trying to get a Steadfast will... and honestly just trying your method of mostly counters really shaved off a minute or 2 on my current times as I'm climbing to 100. I just wonder if my Escalating Pursuit and Mysterious Purpose would still be enough. I could get calming intent but I'll have to get used to not relying on my dps heals... and steadfast will is still really expensive in the market right now. Also don't have the crit S6 sadly yet too tho
@@Dogrethson Mysterious Purpose/Skillful Adept Will is still great as an s5. The only reason I'm using s5:Steadfast Expanse/Calming Expanse is because I'm already at 100% crit chance without it (60% from having 300pp, 20% from crit ring, 15% from s6, and a random 5% from somewhere XD). If you're not at 100% crit chance without mysterious purpose and crit s6, I'd highly recommend mysterious purpose over calming/steadfast expanse. It's unfortunate that s4:steadfast will is still expensive too. You should still be safe with escalating pursuit but if you find yourself running low on time in depth 100, i'd think it'd be a good idea to get it then.
Thanks! The JP names for the SSAs are in the description but for the global translations, they're: s1 Augment Will 2, s2 & s3 precision will 2, s4: steadfast will, s5: steadfast expanse, s6: skillful adept, s7: fortified ranged 2, s8: skydance support.
@@CelebrityAsh For the right ring, I would use C-Strike (called Critical Strike on Global) since it gives you 20% extra crit chance on melee, ranged, and technique weapons as well as 3% extra crit dmg (it's a combined ring so you'll have to get ranged, strike, and technique crit rings at level 20 and combine them [but using the ranged crit ring is fine if you're only playing phantom rifle]). As for the left ring, Phantom Lock-On Bomb is great because you can detonate the marker on the enemy part you're locked onto (like the head or other enemy weakpoints). You can put left rings onto units with the unit skill addition mechanic from Dudu or Monica, however, I personally don't use phantom shift as I'm not really comfortable with it (however, I've seen some Phantom Katana players using it). The left ring skills I have on my units are currently Jumping[JP]/Leaping[Global] Dodge, Mag Excite[JP]/Excitement[Global], and Atomizer Lovers[JP]/Fanatic[Global]. Sorry for the long explanation, but yeah, C -Strike and Phantom Lock-On bomb are the most important in my opinion.
The following link is my tree in the skill simulator: bit.ly/3pqqegg Do note, this tree is highly unoptimized for "proper" phantom gameplay since I pretty much put no points into skills revolving around Rod. Also, depending on how much pp you have and if you use Rod when playing phantom, I'd move the Mark PP Drain and Mark Heal points into Sprint Tech Charge, Ambivalence, Tech Charge Perf. Attk Addition, and Photon Stream.
For enemies that you can abuse with counter shots, yeah (especially if you have s4:calming intent[JP]/s4:steadfast will[Global] since the step attack and the phantom counter are affected by the 13% dmg increase). For stationary/idle targets, Nachtangriff is better.
@@murakumomech5128 I see. i used to just do verbechen2x - normal 3 whenever the target is still moving. fortunately i'm still new to phantom rifle, so it's not muscle memory yet and i can incorporate your advice. thanks.
Damn, I feel like I've been doing Rifle Phantom wrong. I keep using shift Kugelsturm for DPS, when just normal attacking is doing more damage. I barely finished Depth 50 yesterday with my build (I have 220~ atk on my units, except leg which has 175 on it). Also, how did you get Mark Joyo (which I assume is Mark Joy on global?) on your units? I thought those were exclusive to weapons.
Mark capsules are available during the SG support scratch on JP servers (unfortunately, I don't believe they're available on Global). Also, a lot of people fall into the trap of using shift Kugelsturm as their main dps method. Normal Attacks/Step Attacks with Counter Shots will yield a much higher dps in all situations (especially if you have "s4:steadfast will" since it will also increase your counter shot damage by 13%).
@@murakumomech5128 I'm starting to see that after moving my Steadfast Will to my Klaus rifle (and replacing Timeflow Will with Agressive Will 2), yea, it can do a lot more damage when done right. I just hope I don't cramp my hands as I go deeper trying this. XD I'm also gonna try to make a better Leg Klaus unit, ditch the Grand Stamina for a Grand Precision, ect.
@@JessePrower Sounds good 👍Also, s1:augment will 2 should be getting cheaper since as time goes on, more people are completing the higher depths and more augment will 2s are dropping (an extra 2% dmg increase over aggressive will 2 can save you some extra time). Good luck on the runs!!
@@JessePrower Nah, what you're thinking of is s5: Augment Bloom (this S-Grade augment will double the stats from the augments on your weapon). S1: Augment Will 2 increases your damage by .75% for every augment affixed to a weapon. If you have 8 augments on your weapon, you'll get a 6% dmg increase.

That’s an amazing gameplay. I never realized before how much PA can slow you down. No wonder I got hit so much.
Thank you! And yeah, ph rifle's PA are pretty slow so step attacks with counter shots is a pretty good method of dealing with Sodam.
it's so fucked that the gameplay of old PSO2 is much better than NGS
