Types

Types, unofficially known as Classes, are one of the most important gameplay mechanics in PSU. They determine a character's Stats, their level caps for Photon Arts, which weapons they can use, how much PP regeneration weapons get, and proficiency with Traps. There are fifteen Types in total. Three Basic Types are available to everyone immediately, nine Expert Types that are unlocked by progressing with Basic Types, and three Master Types that are unlocked by progressing with Expert Types.

Type Levels

Types can be leveled up to increase a character's Stats. To level up a Type, you will need to earn Mission Points, abbreviated MP, by completing Missions. The maximum level for Expert and Master Types is 200.
Below is a chart showing the MP requirements for levels 1 - 20. For levels 21 - 200, the following formula is used to calculate the MP required: ((Type LV * 4000) / 15).

From level 1 - 20, each level gives a major boost to Stats.
