Shu (Japanese: シューツ), known as Schutz in Japanese, is a support technique common to Phantasy Star games.
Etymology[]
シューツ (shūtsu) is possibly derived from the German word "Schutz", a noun which means "protection", "shield", or "shelter".
Effects[]
Phantasy Star II[]

Amy is the only character who can use shu. She learns shu at level 2.
Phantasy Star III[]
Although the technique that was localized with the name Shu in the English language version of Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom has a similar effect, it is actually a different technique altogether. For more information on the version of Shu seen in Phantasy Star III, see Chaos.
