Techniques are offensive magic-like abilities in the form of equippable chips in Phantasy Star Online 2 es. Each technique consumes a certain amount of Chip Points (CP) per use. The amount of CP each chip needs varies between the strength of the technique and the level of the chip. Bronze plated chips are the easiest type of technique to find and, consequently, this also makes them the weakest in strength. They are usually given as a prize during trials or won via Fun Scratch. Silver and Gold chips are the rarer and more powerful forms only obtainable by using Fun, Arks Cash or Rappy Coins.
