| ==Chain building tips==
| |
| As creature stats in ''Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity'' are designed around chain multipliers, it is very important for players to be able to build their chains quickly and easily.
| |
|
| |
| Below are common methods used for chain building:
| |
|
| |
| * Using a Technic weapon ({{rod}} [[rods]], {{wand1}} [[wands]], or {{tech-Mag1}} [[Tech-Mags]]) with either {{Fire}} [[Foverse]], {{Ice}} [[Sabarta]], or {{Lightning}} [[Sazonde]] bound to {{Square}} square.
| |
| ** {{Fire}} Foverse builds chain passively while close to creatures. Foverse can be paired with any other chain builder.
| |
| ** {{Ice}} Sabarta builds chain on up to 3 creatures in front of the user. Ideal for groups of small creatures.
| |
| ** {{Lightning}} Sazonde builds chain on up to 2 creatures, and will also stagger most creatures. Ideal for single larger targets, as small creatures will become untargetable if hit by Sazonde.
| |
| * {{R-Mag1}} [[R-Mags]] fire automatically and will build chain passively while the player uses their right-hand [[weapon]], such as a {{wand1}} wand or {{dagger1}} [[daggers|dagger]]. A fast R-Mag such as [[Opaopa]] or [[Elenor]] are ideal.
| |
| * {{Machine gun1}} [[Machineguns]] with [[Meseta Fever]] allow the player to build chain quickly for no PP cost.
| |
| * Melee weapons, such as {{twin saber}} [[twin sabers]], {{twin dagger}} [[twin daggers]], or {{twin claw}} [[twin claws]], can build chain quickly on single targets.
| |
| * {{Twin handgun}} [[Twin handguns]] are also an effective method of building chain on a single target, and are great for many with [[T. Heaven Punishers]].
| |
| * [[Partner characters]], especially [[support characters]] built for chain, are helpful for building chain. If the follow command from the quick orders menu is used, partner characters will only use {{Square}} square attacks and never break chain.
