The Rise and Fall of Elysion in PSO2: A Comparative Analysis with Nazonde and Sazan

As we delve into the world of Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2), it's hard not to notice the rise and fall of certain characters. In this article, we'll take a closer look at Elysion, a popular supporter unit that has been overshadowed by other units like Nazonde and Sazan.

Elysion, with its impressive 11th slot, was once considered a powerhouse in the game. However, as new mechanics were introduced, it seemed to lose its luster. In the eyes of many players, Elysion has become inadequate in an era of 15 weapons. Its ability to provide critical rate buffs and support teammates is undeniably valuable, but it's hard to compete with the sheer damage output of Nazonde.

Nazonde, as we all know, is a force to be reckoned with. Its uncharged version deals a whopping 15k/8k per tick after charging, making it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. In contrast, Elysion's uncharged version does about 2.5k-3.8k x 3 hits for rapid spam, which is significantly less.

One of the major drawbacks of Nazonde is its tendency to root players, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. However, this can be mitigated with the use of a L/Tech C Parrying ring, which creates guard frames in front of you when you start charging a tech. This allows players to defend themselves and use their techs without fear of being knocked back.

Despite its limitations, Elysion still has some redeeming qualities. For instance, it can provide critical rate buffs to teammates, which can be further increased with its Skill 2. Additionally, it can support two teammates with the highest ATK, making it a valuable addition to any team.

In conclusion, while Elysion may not be the most powerful unit in PSO2, it still has some use cases and can be a valuable member of any team. As we look forward to EP3 mechanics being implemented next year on SEA servers, we hope that things will change for the better. Who knows? Maybe Elysion will get a much-needed buff, making it a force to be reckoned with once again.

With its exclusive features like balanced classes, custom-coded gear, and 4-player local splitscreen mode, PSO2 is an undisputed future of this amazing game. Will you join the ranks and experience it for yourself? Find out now on our Destiny PSOBB server!
