[PSO2:NGS] Post-Kvaris Braver Guide (Lvl 60)

[@ACLMSC]

This was awesome. A Kaizaar equipped Braver is ridiculous. I hope they show more love to Fighter and Hunter in the next update.

[@anon7596]

Kinda hate how awesome this class is. I started off as ranger, but now thanks to this guide I'm absolutely shredding anything i come across! It'll be hard to switch classes once this is maxed 😭

[@UhCold]

Bro I’m a RA main since day 1 base and this class is too fun to not play lol

[@chaunceyjohnson2972]

I believe there is a lot of utility, and I-frames left on the table by not using fearless attitude. You can gain a full bar of PP back weaving it in your PA rotations. Your legitimately invulnerable after the strong normal, on top of the fearless attitude bubble animation, That's long time to be invulnerable. The easiest usage of fearless A., I found is using it after the powerful normal attack strong stike. The I-frame animation are like 3 or maybe 4 seconds ( I haven't counted, but the window is long). However, you have to be willing to (not attack) wait for in coming attacks. It also suspends you in the air, allowing you to maintain position for more counters, this does take a little bit more intuitive playing and watching, but I found it to be a more synergistic play style in using the katana once master.

[@gogglesveemon5551]

I found the best way to wave FA is to not actively look to use it, but just use it if you end up in a situation where you can use it, like you just finished a 3rd strike and know and attack its coming next. Instead of actively keeping it on your mind and slowing down on purpose just to see if you can weave one

[@czffaffsafsafa8136]

Bruh the damage I do on counters alone is remarkable

[@AceWolf456]

Well, for a full class guide I gotta say, solid 5/10 guide. Forgot to talk about bows, and bow PAs. For a katana guide, probably 10/10, no idea, I was only looking for bow info.

[@pneuma7665]

A pretty safe combo I really like to use to save PP and still do good damage is 2 Silverleaf into an Lotus with the combo finish. Tons of frames to counter and the 3rd step on the Lotus does great damage. Also the Finisher doesn't count for offensive PP recovery so you would want natural PP recovery to maximize your PP.

[@ashtondonaghy1154]

Another great video thank you so much, I didnt realize I had been missing out on so much dps with my counters! Well deserved like and content!

[@AyaChible]

omg Keroo thank you so so much. I always hated Katana cause I didn't know how to paly with it at all and it kept bothering me for weeks, but thanx to your video now I'm very good at it and enjoying it very very much.

[@gogglesveemon5551]

I like when these guides also explain the situations when each PA should be used. However i do admit you should have talked about fearless attitude too since it's something a lot of br still have problems with but its worth mastering since you can also chain it into empowered normal and it gives back approximately 80pp back when done correctly

[@AzariusR]

Braver Katana is so balanced that I feel like most weapons need to be like it lol.

[@mjdiaz2085]

how can it be true when the comment have been edit.

[@AzariusR]

@@mjdiaz2085 Yeah I always accidentally call Braver Katana by just the class Braver when I forgot Braver also have Bow which to be honest still isn't as smooth as I want it to be in comparison.

[@AzariusR]

@Tsuru Tsuru Well you could say the argument about Katana and Rods being loved because of the Otaku culture about Katanas being the weapon of choice while Mahou Shoujo(Magical Girls) is pretty overpowered as well from their point of view. Sadly they left out Spear which was supposed to be a Japanese Naginata like weapon but man it just feels so clunky when you can wield a Sword much faster than that of the Spear's normal of all things.

[@villahermosasebastian8794]

@Tsuru (Like to bash internet toxics) Bro sb bouncer is like a combination of kirito and vergil which is pretty much the weeb dream and yet its new skills are garbage

[@waynecarrjr.1187]

a neat way to use the empowered normal attack when fighting daityls is to lock on to their back canister thing while you're in front of them attacking their chest, and use the empowered normal to deal damage to it without having to constantly reposition yourself

[@Alisaa]

The imbalance between top and bottom classes is getting insane as in almost every other Asian game. Honestly I thought NGS will be better than that, but not gonna lie, how broken katana is compared to the weaker weapons now makes me think of quitting. Maybe time to look for a game with no classes because devs deliberately making certain classes broken instead of at least trying to balance made me fed up. There's no way they could have made katana this buffed and broken if they were trying to balance.

[@iboy2ward2]

Only because everyone complained that braver wasn't at the best when it was released. Now katana is too strong.

[@victornguyen1175]

They aren't trying to balance. Their plans have always been to haphazardly update different classes and have power spikes along the way. This has been true since the original PSO2jp. It would not surprise anybody if Braver falls behind a year from now, then everyone would just have something else to complain about. From a game design perspective, albeit not a good one, this gets people to think one class is the best then level that one each time there's a new best. Repeat ad nauseum. When another class becomes the best, players are convinced to invest time leveling a new one and therefore spending more time on the game. It's already happening with players switching to Braver. In a few months, it'll be another class.

[@Alisaa]

@@victornguyen1175 That's still dumb as hell why would they want to intentionally annoy people with balance like this. If katana gets abandoned, then those players will also get mad and fully understandable, it's toxic way of balancing imo

[@robmauk362]

Is it really balance in terms of dps? Or overall usefulness in a group setting? Not all classes are meant to dish out insane amounts of dmg, some are intended to be support. I think people just tend to get carried away with the numbers they do to a mob vs another players dmg. Sure some classes are more sought after for purple triggers and such, but it isn’t impossible with non “meta” classes.

[@Alisaa]

@@robmauk362 No I am counting not just damage, but AoE and mobility as well - but katana has it all in one weapon too (fighter needs to multi weap). There's not any significant "support" in NGS other than Techter and Ranger, but I am not comparing their solo dps with katana anyway. If a class is much more desirable in purples or dark falz r2, basically the "end game" content, then that's exactly the imbalance problem. What other content would the ditched classes be better at? Can't think of anything lol

[@HURGIIDX]

I personally switched from knux/daggers multiweapon fighter to katana braver as my main melee class with the most recent update. A large reason is the ridiculous grind or luck for 7*, and katana is a melee weapon that I feel doesn't really need to have a multi to get the best out of it so I only need one 7* to be all set.

[@robisco69]

Sheeesh time to return to pso2! Nice guide btw thanks! :D

[@ZNRenova]

if you watched the entire video, Keroppi has now taught you the ways of the katana.

[@romane7thletter]

Hey @keroppi I've been experimenting with using Gunner (Twin) as my main and I use Braver Katana as second (Nero build from Devil May Cry lol) and I noticed you didn't need to use Braver's WA as the meta works already, in your opinion what would be the optimal loadout for this duo? I can easily gain PP again with Gunner's normal

[@steelian_gaming]

Still reccomended to have multi weapon for Br/Fo? which one is best for fluid gameplay?

[@levant69420]

while its true that silverleaf is safer than lotus you should really mention that optimizing dmg would be minimizing silverleaf and maximizing lotus uses. pp isn't a big concern because of fearless and even less so if you run fo sub. also it can be better to cancel your combo finish or counter plus if you can get another counter instead of just sitting in the s.

[@kiritolord]

My main class is braver and im loving this powered auto atack

[@TheVoidBeing]

I main hunter and sub braver but because I main hunter for the tanky stuff while braver skills only require braver weapons, I just use the katana and bow and it does wonders when I combine omnidirectional guard and mighty guard, war cry and hunter’s physique, then if I want to dps, since I just have braver weapons, I use braver combat.

[@xandt-doggaming3313]

I wonder if the loss of pp support would be viable for crit increase from slayer

[@DJchrismiller1]

really good work here

[@BetaVein]

I believe that the enhanced attack after triple PA DOESN'T have i-frame, only the one after counter does

[@saikatsune2085]

I think you’re right about this. However, I don’t think I’m able to be knocked down when I use it, so I think it may have a level of hyper armor. I’ll do some tests.

[@ajkun5587]

are we getting a new guide for braver soon? hmm

[@viturus7399]

What Katana Camo are you using?

[@tobiaspfau3876]

when we got the infos we were really hyped about it and thought braver got the most buff again but a little bit after that we got mistaken. Braver,gunner,ranger just shares the dps these classes didnt got good buffs sadly compared to the other classes which do way more dps over time.

[@tilting_cat3344]

What? Braver katana damage is high,sure fighter is higher but fighter more risky than braver katana did i misinterpret something?

[@pulgas]

i find Hunter having good buffs this patch, lvl 2 charge photon +Twister Zapper PA + lvl 2 photon avenger = big dmg

[@tobiaspfau3876]

@Tsuru Tsuru well the 3 classes sharing the same dmg calculations for the last places from all 8 classes bouncer/techer/fighter coming after that Force reached the 2nd place and hunter is 1st place now in terms of dps and dmg overall.

[@m3tr0id86]

Thanks to you man I have actually become a Braver main and absolutely love it. Plus a lot of what I've learned in PSO2 NG so far has been from you. More often than not with the counter it's like one of Wolf's taunts from super smash brothers when he does the hand gesture to come at him and he says "are you scared?" before I counter the enemy that a lot of damage that has made Phil Swift pretty quiet when he found that Flex Tape or Flex Seal can't fix it.

[@jakehunter1172]

May we get an updated bow guide, please \o/ Love the videos, BTW.

[@dakotahmay6746]

Yes please that's all I want just started the game, and immediately went for Braver because I love bows, it's nice to have the Katana it's awesome, and strong but I want my bow to be the focus

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

@@dakotahmay6746 braver as a sub for ranger and using a bow rifle multi wep is disgusting you hot bar your pas like homing you want from rifle and then blight rounds rifle wep action for grenade and scatter shot you dont need to worry about the rifle range issues just stick to bows moveset and pa for dmg using homing for big aoe mobbing and scatter and nade pp/dmg and s on scatter shot too you have either photon blast you want bow being big single target dmg rifle being that localized mini multi hit aoe great for deleting trash mobs its just gross you lose blight rounds subbed ranger but having it for the multi wep as braver main to keep nade for big dmg and scatter shot for pp regen and ez s is nice too plus the nade recharges as you dodge and this includes w the multi wep using bows dodge for the counter shots its nasty nasty ranged dps that is really safe

[@alvinicarolubrica5645]

what augment are you using for katana user?

[@ZeroBeat1]

The new katana PA is an absolute godsend. My main complaint with the katana was a lack of dashing abilities, and now we can finally get right back in the face of those annoying enemies that keep jumping around. The new bow PA is good for damage dealing, but is very risky due to being unable to cancel the charged version once you release it. That new special attack after a counterattack or stage 3 PA is very good too. Improves PP efficiency when you're on offense and adds damage, PP charge, and a ton of extra invincibility frames on both perfect guard and Fearless Attitude counterattacks.

[@lorddraco5954]

10:54 the laser is actually very accurate to what it shows. I don't think the I frames actually did anything there and you just dodged it. FYI you can dodge that laser by tapping left or right and moving extremely little.

[@saikatsune2085]

You’re not wrong. However, I’m almost positive he should have been hit by the laser we see at 10:50 . It literally clips into him, however I see no damage taken. I think it has i-frames on its start-up. The first slash connects with the enemy as soon as the laser hits, and he takes no damage.

[@hywolfgaming8932]

any ideas on multi weapon? or other sub classes pur dps?

[@juro8926]

What's the katana skin called

[@METROSPAZZIN]

How did you get the cloud

[@yurasosnitsky755]

sword arts over charge vs avenger of hunter is beter dps then 2 bravers

[@abyssphantom6786]

Please put Katana Braver for the title, and specify that you are only covering Katana Braver. Calling this a “Braver” guide when you are only covering half the movesets and half the weapons, is very misleading.

[@harlowviv2968]

People play Braver for the Bow? Fascinating

[@abyssphantom6786]

@@harlowviv2968 Yes, lots of players do. Not as many as Katana for sure, but I see more Bow braver mains than I do many other mains in Kvaris.

[@mazzkassim8467]

Im currently using Ra/Br(bow). Pretty enjoying it as long i can use blight for support party and use bow for good dmg.

[@kurtsaidwhat]

@@harlowviv2968 nothing nuttier than a bow braver player

[@abyssphantom6786]

@Death Inquisitor Again, exactly as the comment says, it’s only about a misleading and false title. It really is a lie to call it a Braver guide if it’s only covering Katana Braver. No one has an issue that the guide only covers Katana, it’s just not cool to have a misleading and click-baity title.

[@infamous1416]

Hi I'm new to this game loving it so far but the 3 separate pa attacks dont go into the normal auto attack for me the 3 silver leaf do but 3 different ones wont work for me

[@keroppi]

You need to unlock a skill on the Braver skill tree (its at the bottom left (2nd skill).

[@Tentimez5]

Ive been wanting to try braver thank you

[@ThePurpleHydraa]

I need this for all the classes tbh😭💜

[@Requimatic]

Braver is so busted in Kvaris that I'm almost forced to change mains. Even with Ranger as a sub, Gunner is laughably bad right now.

[@PaleVoyager]

None of the comboing PAs works for me.

[@keroppi]

You need to unlock the skills in the Skill Tree first.

[@helio1055]

and …”bang bang bang” 😂🔥

[@JROC4LYFE808]

I’m not gonna, maybe it’s just me. I feel like Base PSO Katana was more fun compared to NGS

[@TheJulian1509]

thank you alot, i actualy now only udnerstood the charge-thing and seeing how to chain the pa´s best actualy is amazing

[@5823steven]

Gigguk on CoD: 14:18

[@khvrasiel]

I cant help but laugh when I hear something-pp. High pp good, low pp bad!

[@samueldeodato5270]

I know you are not much into it but fighter as subclass is pretty popular for purple triggers also braver PAs becomes stronger in each step.. not only on the 3rd atk but overall nice guide

[@inoob26]

Lowkey the biggest takeaway of this video is that I finally learned how to swap lock on targets lol

[@czffaffsafsafa8136]

I’ve just been counter -> finisher ing everything since I came back to NGS this week. The grind to level 60

[@kitzen1795]

my favorite thing to abuse this on is the giant chicken veteran. you can kill it with ease sense once it attacks once you've basically got it stuck in an infinite loop of counter attacks until it dies

[@xGaelioNx]

So… braver hunter or braver force? D:

[@keroppi]

Braver Force for Easy content (Combat Zones) and Braver Hunter for harder content (Purple Triggers/ Dark Falz Rank 2)

[@kiracoon]

Can we get a gear break down as well?

[@galadriel5570]

weeb class with 1000 times folded japanese steel is strongest in game????!!! who could have seen this coming?!! braver once again is SEGA's favorite child, and will only get stronger. At least until Sega releases A hero equivalent and the game dies lmao.

[@iboy2ward2]

Summoner and gunblade class haven't even come out yet. It going to be forever until we get hero 😭

[@squiddingsquid674]

..... i smell nerf.... hopefully not

[@matty4z]

it Nerf or nothing hopefully its the later :)

[@bladegrip8459]

Ngl, I chuckled when you said laser donkey. XD

[@NeoKurow]

Stupid question... How do you that 4th auto attack?

[@gimurachi]

you have to unlock 2 new skill, katana counter plus allows you to do the powerful normal after a katana counter (and fearless) or the Katana PA combo fish which do the same after a 3rd step of PA

[@NeoKurow]

@@gimurachi thanks I had to reset my skills using a ticket but I finally got it

[@peppy5635]

now braver is edgier like it's base game counterpart, good addition!

[@BananaDouji]

hehe PP

[@reinz247]

this two skill sega gave to katana br overtuned it too much , call it a godsend to you mains but having a massive range, AOE, ultra safe on execution, and braindead tracking makes the class more braindead to play over time, its so damn boring that ive drop this weapon entirely , then theres the neglected bow but who needs them when you can just use the katana for range, hope sega can start buffing the other classes if they dont want to nerf this.

[@Esrell]

Still not enuf, we need fi's short cycled iron will attached to combat and a katana ver. of sb's new PA for verticality and pls let us charge some PA's as well were being denied of that feature

[@robmauk362]

Please no charges. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Coincidence is it since I was watching base pso2 PAs for brave and now this. This gonna be good

[@pdaangsakti21]

i think it is the fine time to get back to braver.

[@matty4z]

my character set ups (faster levelling with multi characters with story+side missions) character-1 use Br , Fi , Hu character-3 use Hu , Fo , Te , Bo character-3 use Fo , Ra , Gu

[@AcrossTheSea12]

Moves aren't 'an i-frame', they have frames of animation during which you're invincible. So you would instead say this move 'has i-frames'. If moves only had one single i-frame they wouldn't be very good
