Of the many poorly explained mechanics in PSO2 New Genesis, PSE Burst manages to top them all. Three weeks after the launch of Sega's popular MMORPG, many players still don't understand how it works. PSE Burst grinding becomes several times more effective if done properly. Triggering a PSE Burst drastically increases the spawn rates of enemies which means that experience rates are not only significantly higher during an active PSE Burst, but players receive more chances to get rare drops. Players need to learn how this mechanic functions so that everyone can benefit from it.

   PSE Burst is an enemy chaining mechanic in PSO2 New Genesis and it can be triggered in three different areas. These are at Mt.Magnus, Vanford Laboratory Ruins, and Resol Forest. All these can be unlocked by completing various story missions.

   After getting into one of these areas, the PSE Burst meter will appear at the top left of the screen and every enemy will get a random chance to either raise or lower this meter. New Genesis has introduced two methods for removing some of the RNG from the process of triggering a PSE Burst.

   These areas include specific zones marked by either E or T letters. E stands for effect, whereas T stands for trial. Effect zones move around continuously, irrespective of the number of enemies that are killed. In contrast, a trial zone will not move until it is completed.

   The best method of leveling up the PSE Burst meter is to religiously follow both effect and trial zones whenever they spawn. There's another method that can work too. Since trials in PSO2 New Genesis don't move until finished, a player can farm mobs outside of them until the PSE Burst is filled up. After filling the meter, simply complete the trial.

   This is more RNG-dependent, but it can still be efficient if a powerful area of effect photon art is used to kill large groups of enemies quickly. Two examples of good photon arts to use are the assault rifle's Homing Darts and the wired lance's Vane Mixture.
