personaly, i like think the photon launcher types are the coolest new additions.

It's a tough choice.. I voted Photon Launcher because I use them a lot, but I like how fomar runs with cards.

I picked Photon Launcher bacuase it is a damn cool looking weapon with awesome heat distortion effects on the beam. I'm really not that big of a fan of the Dual Saber types. The Card type is ok but a bit too slwo for me.

The only one I've gotten to use is the dual saber, and they are OK, but not great. They usually have a high ATP, but the first move of the combo takes so long to start they aren't really too useful agains fast enemies. And don't even try to use them agains a pack of grunts X(

Every time I see a FO using thsoe cards, he's always doing 0 damage. WTF is up with that?

thats odd my FO does 120-200 Damage with MAHU (one of the cards)

i'd actualy pick card over twin saber. while twin sabers are quite stylish, they aren't to paracticle.

im intrested to see how the SectionID cards look, yellowboze card would be cool for my fo

I know the female character has a different twin saber combo then males. I have no idea which one is better.

I do know that with god/battle on the twin sabers are hella sweet. The final attack has a really long delay time, but they'r incredibly strong and built to take out high HP enemies in one combo(belras, C bringers etc...). Thats how I use them, to take out really strong enemies quickly, there not built for for attacking a group of enemies(thats what swords are for).

Photon launcher are a nice addition for RAs, but I still think a shot is better since they both shoot really slow. The snow queen is the BEST photon launcher hands down. If your a RA you need either a frozen shooter or a snow queen, your team will love you for it.

FO cards suck big time. Only class that can use them effectively is a FOmar with god/battle on when it comes to actual damage. When it comes to TP drain the FOnewearl has the higher ATA. Reason why you see FOs dealing 0 damage is because the mahu and talis absorb TP, so FOs just use them to get free tp.

Maybe hitogata is a good card wep, cause I never even bother use the damn things.

A friend of mine has one. I refuse to battle him because he can beat me easily with 15 - 20 levels on him. The only downside is that sometimes it freezes you, but just about everyone knows about the ice trick, so it's not that big of a deal.

i voted for the card type becuse its sweet with FOmar i like photon launchers but the RAmar and RAcast run funny with them all hunched over and the RAmar's arm looks all floppy

I like the Photon Launchers the best, they're good for
plowing through enemies, and they work wonders on bosses
with multiple spots (even nails the dragon while he's
airborn. :D)

Duel Sabers and Cards come in a tie for 2nd, Duels are
great for taking out single big enemies quick, and cards,
well they just look funny being held by a FO running.
They're like the ghetto version of Spread Needles.

Since snow queen only has one combo, if your really quick about it, you can break free before the next shot comes out...or just wear cure/freeze if you have one.

It's kinda funny though. I can drop hunters with one Foie in battle mode.

While there have been alot of cool weapon additions, I guess I really don't have one paticular favorite.

While I may be a tad off topic, I have to say that I like the new animations for high level techs more than any new weapon, the high level Rafoie is thoroughly badass. I just use weapons for accessorizing...as long as it doesn't clash with my costume I'm happy.

Heh, i'm the only one that's voted for twin saber types so far...I chose them because they are the only type I've used so far. I was so happy when I saw the Musashi for the first time and I can't wait to get an Asuka or Sange & Yasha. I'm stuck with a Yamato for now :(. Oh well, PSO is still fun :D!

Do Grass Assassin Sabers count as dual saber type? Those are the only type of dual weapons I like so far. They are slow, but in the hands of a Fomar they can be used effectively as a finishing attack.

Just need to equip an elf arm++ first

they do kick ass, i have yet to see rabarta, gibarta, grants or megid though....

i'll be sure to eject the technique disk from the next baranz i encounter before i Obliterate it.

Rabarta is really cool, it's like a huge ice sheet that forms under your character. I think my favorite is Gifoie. it goes on forever and the heat distortion is sweet

So far I've only seen rabarta and gibarta. Gibarta's ice wave thing rocks :o

id have to go with photon launchers even tho my fo uses grass assassin sabers almost exclusively and on a side note high level zonde puts a smile on my face but i cant wait to see how high level grants looks

That high level zonde scared the shit outta me the first time I saw it. I was like "aagh wtf is happening?"

I'd have to say the Photon Launcher is the best weapon add on, nothing like blasting a Del Saber while its blocking

actually I've tested this out on someone and it turns out they would need the cure/freeze cause doing the ice trick would make you actually break your controller, (the one hit combo is just about in synce with the ice break)

Hehe, I can break from ice in 1 second flat, I kid you not. Yes, it does worry me that I might break my controller jamming the analog from left to right that fast, but it can be done.

Also just if your evp is high enough you can just evade the snow queens attack. It's only a 1 hit combo and it's a special attack, so its accuracy isn't that high. You would need a VERY high amount of evp.

I picked the Card series. Baba loves using her Mahu, and has asked Zorya to look for a Hitogata.

I have hitogata, it dropped from a del biter is seabed. Right now the strongest card ATP/ATA wise is the gal griphon wing, but it's special attack is way too risky for a Fo to use effectively. The hitogata needs that blasted 'book of hitogata' for it to be the strongest card wepon. It gets a muched needed atp and ata boost for it to be useable in the later EP stages. Pretty much none of the card weapons are useable in seabed or CCA without hit %. The hitogata does have a lovely 96TP steal special attack. Getting close to 300+tp in one hit is very rewarding and alot more usefull then the gal grifs special attack.
