Battle Power represents the overall strength of a character in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, and players will need to increase it in order to engage with various aspects of the game. However, some fans may be unclear on exactly how to go about raising Battle Power, as it is not detailed extremely thoroughly in the title's tutorials. It is with that in mind that this guide is being written, and players can learn all of the ways to increase Battle Power in PSO2 New Genesis in what follows.
To begin, the simplest way to raise Battle Power is to earn EXP and level up a character class in PSO2 New Genesis. This can be done by completing quests and slaying enemies, and players that want to expedite the process can even buy a temporary EXP boost with Star Gems. Notably, it is indicated that a character's sub-class does not impact their Battle Power, though sub-classes can contribute to that number in another way.
More specifically, fans can increase their Battle Power by using Skill Points to learn Class and Sub-Class Skills. For the uninitiated, Skill Points are earned by completing the challenges located inside of PSO2 New Genesis's Cocoons and Towers, with the former awarding one Skill Point and the latter awarding four. Once a player has earned some of these valuable Points, they should simply head over to the Class Counter, exchange them for Skills, and watch their Battle Power rise.
Finally, MMORPG fans can gain additional Battle Power by equipping better gear or altering the weapons and armor that they already have on hand. Indeed, enhancing items and filling augment slots can lead to Battle Power gains, and players can perform those operations at the Item Lab that is located across form the Class Counter. Additionally, fans can raise their Battle Power by unlocking Weapon Potentials at the Item Lab, though that can prove to be a fairly time-consuming endeavor.
With respect to what fans will gain access to by increasing their character's Battle Power, Urgent Quests are perhaps one of the most notable offerings. These large-scale operations are available on a schedule, and they do require that a certain minimum Battle Power be met. Hopefully this guide has clarified exactly what Phantasy Star 2 Online: New Genesis fans need to do in order to reach those requirements, and it has helped fans that want to start working on Urgent Quests.
Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available on the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
