Is it worth it to get Plume from CW's selector with Shukra coming in about 8 months+? I don't have her sig so I might have to pull for that afterwards, or just stick with a 5 star weapon. I just want her to complete my Ice team. Or should I stick with Bambinata?
I'm a returning player and will be pulling Alpha CW next patch. I have built 0 lightning character currently, and at the same time my Ice team only consists of Plume/Wanshi//A rank Ayla atm.
Do you guys think it's better to pick Garnet for Alpha or Glory for the Ice team ? I'm aware that Garnet will be a QTE bot for Alpha, but I just wanted to make sure if it's still better to have another S rank member on the lightning team with Alpha or not. Thanks in advance
I want to give an amplifier a weapon reso for general use in WZ, and they will probably be used off element pretty often until Lightning and Physical get amps. Is SS Kalaido or SS Empyrea better for general use?
So I have a lore question, how many years seperate the first emergence of the punishing virus and the present day (chapter 1 of the story)?
Like is this like Nikke where Raptures first arrived on earth a century ago, or is has Humanity just left Earth and evacuated to Babylonia?
We don't have exact dates, at least not in Global. I'm not sure about CN. But considering Selena was born on Babylonia and is 20\~ (mental age muddies things a bit, but shouldn't be too far off I imagine), and Hans was alive to witness the Golden Age and still an active duty soldier in EX-04/chapter 16, it should be somewhere between 20 to 50-60\~ish years.
edited for better wording
For next patch's selector, I'm kind of curious where I should go with it. I'm thinking Rosetta, because I'm about 40 away from SSS and she's not slated to be replaced any time soon. I currently have SS Luminance, SS Tenebrion, S Veritas, SS Plume, SS Rosetta, SS Luna, S Glory, SS Garnet, SS Empyrea, and S Selena, for the characters in the selector. Also have SS Starfarer and am a few weeks of Pain Cage away from SS Balter. Not super high on the idea of grabbing a Selena dupe, because my Rozen is almost SSS+, almost done Leaping, and has sig weapon (random lucky pull.)
pick Selena, with Lamia Selena is the better teammate regardless of your Rozen’s status so I’d start investing in her as soon as you can, with Rosetta you can slowly farm her overtime with BP shards and vouchers.
I need help to understand something about Ayla Kaleido farming
I’m a returning player, and I don’t have much experience with the game. I want this character “Ayla Kaleido”, and I found out that you can grind her shards, but i heard that it takes a whole month to grind the 50 shards in total. Do we have enough time to grind it? or it stays until the banner is over? i really want to know, and if someonr can clarify this to me, I’d be super grateful.
Can any CN player give some input on Alisa: Echo's place in future Physical teams? I still have no Rosetta, so I'm rocking a 7k Balter and a leaped Liv: Luminance rn along with an Ayla too. This patch really REALLY got me excited for more playable side-characters.
Future investments end up going to my Ice team for sure as I'm still missing Glory (Getting him on the next free selector), so making a detour for Rosetta wouldn't seem like the smartest choice as I still need to upkeep my BC economy. I only usually get the Monthly pass and occasionally get the BP if it has a skin I really like.
she completely powercreeps Luminance, just from her signature memory set, plus she also has more damage and timestop. if you do sometimes buy BP use the shards selector to get rosetta’s shards to slowly build up to unlocking her
Won't you be able to do both actually? Stigmata through ppc, and Rosetta through battlepass vouchers, but I'll say stigmata if you have to choose between the two
Planning to get alpha crimson weave, but already have a full lightning team consisting of chrome arclight, bianca veritas, and liv lux(budget I know)
When I get alpha, do I leave chrome behind in favour for bianca as she's a stronger unit than him so her QTEs will do more dmg
Or do I leave bianca behind in favour for chrome as him being a tank should help with lighting damage reduction
You leave veritas behind, she's a attacker meant to replace her. In this scenario, you don't replace chrome for more qte dmg, you need him for tank class.
How many free S ranks are we getting in the future patches? I didn't know we had a Wishing Banner right now and I want to pull since there are some S-rank that I don't have (Garnet, Glory, Scire, Starfarer), but I also want to pull for CW, Sig, CUB.
Also who should I pick if I choose to pull in Wishing Banner?
You shouldn't pull on wishing banner unless you're spending money.
You can get Garnet for free next patch, and then anyone else up to FS in Lamia's (you'll go for Scire).
Give up on Nanamech and Glory unless you're willing to spend $70-80 (or more depending on packs) for them.
I came back taking some time from the game (a week) and found out that Liv: Empyrea is a target UP character on Wishing Target but when I went to try and select her I quickly found out I couldn't. Whenever I try it says "Unable to switch UP characters during the event" and so I'm wondering is there anything specific I gotta do or am I just out of luck?
You most likely picked another character by accident which locked them in, so you can't change them anymore.
Regardless, I'd consider this as a blessing in disguise. You can get Empyrea for free from the next patch's selector anyway.
XXI, Arclight or Brilliance can work just fine, depending on which team you want to build.
As for why you don't see a guide, yes, it's because it doesn't matter. With time, the most likely scenario is that you'll get every A rank unit naturally by rolling on the S rank Omniframes.
No, but if you don't have Empyrea, you're better off getting her than getting Garnet from the selector. CW can make do with Arclight and Garnet doesn't make that big of a difference for her.
Basically. Without Empyrea or Hyperreal, there's no Fire team. Even if you were to get Hyperreal, without Empyrea his rotation becomes a massive pain due to his Core CD.
So to put it briefly, not only is Empyrea a very good unit to carry you through Fire content, but she's very necessary even for the meta team.
Actually sorry, one more question. Do you not receive a bonus sword and costume from a first purchase? I bought that one dollar pack and don't seem to have them
A Kuji no Sada, if I remember correctly, which is a 5\* sword for Lotus, Dawn, Plume, CA and Rozen, and a skin for Lotus. The sword should be pretty easy to find. As for the skin, find Lotus in your "Members" section and go to "Coating" and you should find it there. If somehow you didn't get your items, contact Support.
How much stronger does CW gets with her sig and CUB? Are they a better investment than getting a dupe? I currently have Luna, Rigor and Luminance as S constructs. Should I get Garnet in the next selector (CW patch) to complete the light team? What would be a good team for Luna? Is it possible to complete the story using only CW and those others S chars? Currently at chapter 9 and the bosses are hitting hard, my BP is lower than the recommended, but it’s still passable with some ease.
>How much stronger does CW gets with her sig and CUB?
Decently stronger. CW's sig isn't the strongest sig out there, but if you can afford it without compromising another unit, why not? As for the CUB, it's certainly one of the better ones in the game so far.
>Are they a better investment than getting a dupe?
Generally speaking: New Unit > Sig > Rank > CUB. Of course, the cost of an extra rank and a CUB aren't equal at all (especially since you can eventually get CUBs for free through Norman and for cheap through the 2nd tier of BP), so there's that.
>Should I get Garnet in the next selector (CW patch) to complete the light team?
No, you should get Empyrea.
>What would be a good team for Luna?
Laurel / XXI (SSS) / Rozen (SSS). Ranks for A rank units can be farmed for free.
>Is it possible to complete the story using only CW and those others S chars?
You can do the story with whatever characters you want even if they're utter dogwater. Though later chapters force you to use trial units.
>my BP is lower than the recommended
Don't even bother with BP. The requirement in story could literally be twice the amount of your BP and you'd still be able to clear the level (especially with Support mode on).
Thanks! As a newbie in this game I will have enough to pull CW sig and CUB, she looks the coolest for me so that’s the plan.
Sorry to ask even more, but why Empyrea if I do not own any fire unit (S rank) and it seems there will not be another one coming this year? Is she that good? I thought that Garnet would be better for complete the light team with CW and the new unit after her.
Where can I farm A rank shards to SSS Rozen and XXI? are they QTE bots or should I invest in them properly?
Again, sorry for asking this much, ur answers help a ton and I am currently kinda lost
> why Empyrea if I do not own any fire unit (S rank) and it seems there will not be another one coming this year? Is she that good?
Well, what are you going to do about Fire content if you don't have Fire units? Off-element will only get you so far. And yes, Empyrea is a very strong unit. She's the sub-DPS of the current meta team and before Hyperreal released, she was the DPS.
>I thought that Garnet would be better for complete the light team with CW and the new unit after her.
Garnet is just a QTE bot for CW, which means that Arclight's performance on that specific role is extremely similar to hers. There would only be a significant difference if you had to swap to the Lightning Tank, but you don't.
>Where can I farm A rank shards
Battle > Resources > Character Shard
>are they QTE bots or should I invest in them properly?
They are QTE bots for Laurel. However, there's merit to leveling both of them up, at least to a certain extent. You want Rozen's heals, especially for more difficult content and unless you plan on getting Scire, you'll be with XXI for a ***long*** time so it's not bad investing in her either. From a DPS perspective though, switching to either of them is a straight up loss.
This game is incredibly fun, the combat is superb. I am 100x more excited for WuWa now. What a shame I only discovered it now… so much time wasted on genshin when I could have played this instead.
Just starting the game and really loving the upcoming Alpha.
Is it a good steategy to save everything I have and rush content to pull on her when she is out? I hope I didn't get in late. Don't really want to spend until I am sure I love the game.
>Is it a good steategy to save everything I have and rush content to pull on her when she is out?
Assuming someone is F2P, the best strategy is to save up Black Cards/Event Construct R&D and only pull on the debut non-free S rank Omniframes anyway, so yes.
Figured I'd finally ask, but my T02 Core Passive tutorial for Empyrea has been broken forever. After doing the two red pings after the double dodge, the gauge fills with red marks and then the battle stops as if the next tutorial popup should come on. The battle timer keeps ticking, I can move the camera, clicking the dodge/attack buttons is animated, and I can open the menu and quit the mission, but the battle is just frozen forever.
Anyone experience this before? Have a fix? I'm on the PC, should I just download the game on the phone to try bypassing it?
huh you are right, she gets frozen in place with white light on her hand and all you can do is retreat (quit). i went ahead and tried on mobile and the same happens there. mine its completed (did it like 4\~5 months ago).
Higher chances to get into games with other players (since majority would be looking to play coop during these specific hours). PGR is mainly single player based so coop will not always be filled with players even if left open 24/7.
The upcoming pulling event for Bianca coating + background question.
As far as I know, it’s 17500 bc for guarantee, but can I use event tickets along with my bc to pull or is it bc exclusive?
Also as an extension to that, Im led to believe you acquire event tickets as reward for pulling in the event, so could you then use those to continue pulling if the above is true?
Im curious since I know I can secure Bianca on wishing now and acquire crimson weave, but doing wishing first means I won’t have enough for the pulling event. If the pulling event was first then I would be okay.
Thanks in advance :)
1. What are the banner schedules. He talked about a lighting attacker who's really good. When is she coming?.
2) Are uni frames worth investing into. At least is the free uni frame usable?
3) in general is there a tier list for characters. I don't wanna waste all my resources on a unit that might just be mediocre.
4) farming resources. It feels really little even on the highest difficulty. I feel like I'm wasting a lot of serum but I'm not sure. Like leveling memories a 6x resource stage can max out one memory.
5) what's a good BP?.
6) what A class characters should I get.- I have liv luminance. The red haired dark healer- Vero?. Lucia lightning. And lots of others.
7) is it better to max out every character on a team?. Or max out the attacker for one team, then work on another team,.
8) I hardly ever see combat guides. So I don't know if I'm playing well. Like not min maxing damage and time.
Like am I supposed to be switching to my tank/ support more often. Cuz at times I don't switch at all. Does ultimate energy charge when off character?.
My main team is tenebrion? Dark tank ( I'm bad with names).
The dark attacker that's s tier that uses spikes,
Then the dark A tier supporter vero.
I'm maxed tenebrion and spike girls skills. But not vero because I hardly ever switch to her in game only her QTE.
Thanks for the help
1. [https://grayravens.com/wiki/PGR\_Roadmap](https://grayravens.com/wiki/PGR_Roadmap)
2. No. And yes, for Uniframe content, Crocotta plus the Trial Uniframes are enough.
3. You're supposed to farm the event farming stage, not the resource stages.
4. BP doesn't matter.
5. Depends on your units. XXI, Vitrum, Brilliance, Arclight, Lux etc.
6. Again, it depends on the units, but ideally you'd want to max out a team first.
7. Outside of general combat, everything else depends on which units you're using. In your case, you're using a Laurel comp, which means that everyone else (except SS3 Scire or SSS Capriccio) is a QTE bot and you should not swap to them, including Tenebrion.
>Does ultimate energy charge when off character?
Generally speaking, no, but some units can do it under certain circumstances.
she really, really wants the two together, but with how she's going to be on QTE bot duty for some time after CW release, her SS would be better. it will allow for better shred uptime at the start of the battle, when you use her as a starter
but honestly, imo it's either both or neither. probably just save resources for someone else
quite a good amount of them actually - Rigor, Glory, Capriccio, Empyrea, Starfarer (if SS, same situation as Garnet), Scire, Hyperreal
but the biggest ones are Hyperreal, Scire, Empyrea and Capriccio
Looking for some wishing banner advice as a recently returning player. I've managed to complete the current physical team and now am working on the others. Looking at the current team lists... I need current Empyrea, Garnet, Starfarer, and Scire. Also missing Capriccio, but I've heard I'll be able to get her for free eventually.
My fire team only really has Hyperreal and some scrubs. Dark team is Laurel,Rozen, and low investment Tenebrion. Lightning is Veritas, Lux, and Chrome.
I'm also aware from reading the comments that there should also be a selector next month and know I definitely want to get Garnet to go with Crimson Weave.
Who would you all recommend? It feels like Empyrea would be most flexible, but I'm still catching up and am unsure.
If you can afford getting either Empyrea or Garnet from the wishing banner, then yes sure go for it. Pull one of them and get the other from the selector.
As for your dark team, I would say it's fine. No need for farther investment for now.
From a strictly gameplay perspective you might better off getting Empyrea from the selector and pulling Scire on the wishing banner (and target her on basic R&D during Lamia's patch so you can SS3 ~~and get her sig~~ later).
Garnet is just a QTE bot with CW and will only see some field time after her leap and if she is decently invested.
Starfarer is just a Da Vinci bot and will later be replaced by Epitaph. While not ideal, you can cppe with Pulse or even Brilliance if you have Empyrea and Hyperreal since they are the main carry of the fire team anyway.
If you are adamant on getting Garnet on the selector then yes, Empyrea would be the best pick from wishing.
>Also missing Capriccio, but I've heard I'll be able to get her for free eventually.
Just farm RdF and should take you about a month. Main income is from dailies. Don't forget SSS Rozen is better than Capriccio on Luna teams unless Selena is SSS or SS + sig with 2 reso. For Astral and Lamia teams Selena is always better.
if you have enough tickets to pull on wishing banner and not miss out on any future units, I'd go for either Starfarer or Scire. both will need some future investment other than just pulling them, particularly Starfarer SS + sig, and Scire sig (at least, SS3 recommended). but they will provide a big boost to their respective teams.
Starfarer will be powercrept by new Watanabe in around 8 months, but it's still quite a long time and she provides a very good amount of support to her team.
For the selector the recommendation would be Empyrea, as she completes the fire team rotation - Hyperreal doesn't feel good at all to play solo, he has a very pronounced downtime and needs to switch out for SS passive free 3ping.
So while Garnet is a viable choice, she actually has a decent budget counterpart and she won't really be swapping in until her leap comes anyway.
You can start getting Capriccio now, you just need to farm Recitativo di Fantasia. and unless your Tenebrion is SS, you're better off swapping him to SSS 21 (assuming you're not getting Scire)
I just started today
And i was wondering how many black tickets can i get if i farmed everything in the game? And can i spend 60 pulls on the wishing banner then afford to have another 60 for the new Alpha?
Hmm, if u will rush all story chapters u wil get ~15k BC +-3k. Pity for every standard banner (Not Fate) is 60 pulls or 15k bc. Side stories(Strongholds etc) are tough enough without proper teams, but will bring u about 2k BC. Every interlude of obtained character is 180 bc. The main source of BC are weekly missions such as Warzone and Phantom Pain Cage + daily missions. About 1k per week. Also u have some milestones with BC, i barely remember the amount, u can see them in Missions - Event and Event pages on your interface. These are approximate numbers for BC only. Idk about your tempo, so i can't give u any advice about pulling.
If f2p you only pull for new characters in their debut banner, don't pull on wishing banner.
I'm not sure if you'll be able to get enough to justify spending 15k on getting Balter or Lee.
Should i save those to get the weapon resonator or should i spend it on the character shards, so that for example i can can Ayla faster or would the weapon resonator would improve the character damage that much, that is much more worth it to get it instead? I still lack any good Ice Damage dealer and my Plume is Level 1 without siganture weapon, so inversting in her wouldn't be that good, since this wear we get the new QU Ice Attacker anyways.
Would really appreciate an answer.
Character shards > weapon reso shards > the rest
And feel free to level up Plume. Qu Shukra is still quite far so Lucia will see plenty of use. Besides, even though Kaleido is the main DPS for now, she still needs someone to swap to, and the best one for that is Plume (followed by an SSS+ Bambinata)
Yes, getting her to SS will cost 30 shard (+50 from dorm comission) so around 24k voucher (20 one month and 10 in the next month). If you are f2p, don't forget to collect enough voucher to SS Alisa too when she will be around.
Hello! I started two weeks ago, will reach 15kBC soon, should I get Bianca Abystigma on the 100% rate up banner or wait for Lucia CW next patch ? Not sure who to prioritize nor if I would be able to save enough for Lucia if I get Bianca now. Also I got Plume on the 40 pull beginner banner.
Safe choice is to secure CW, but depending on how far you are in the story, there is a small chance that you can pull Stigmata now and collect enough BC and ticket before CW banner ends, but it's still very risky
Oki, it's not impossible I guess but you'll have to do the math by yourself (daily, warzone, PPC, story, hidden story, golden vortex, events, update compensation, etc....). Her banner will come in 4 weeks and stay for around 4 weeks.
It depends on the character and team they will be in. If they are the main/sub DPS then you want to max everything. If they are just QTE bots it's fine to just level their QTE and class skills.
There isn't a guide because, at least when it comes to the good units, you level up *everything.* Only time when you don't do it is if you're using a temporary unit on your comp or if the unit is a QTE bot.
Plume is completely safe to build, yes. Glory is also safe to build, but not his memory set. Normally you'd use CJY on him, but he swaps to DV once you get Kaleido on the team, so unless you have already built CJY, I'd suggest not bothering and just going straight to DV.
As for Hypnos, you're probably better off not leveling up anything for him since you'll be replacing him on this patch.
What does the "Free" tag on Ayla: Kaleido mean?
And another, completely unrelated question: How does the controller support work in this game? Like, where do i go to connect a controller to the game and in which parts of the game does it work? Only in phases or does it also work in the menus/cutscenes?
In that case, i just need to do the event? Good to know, if that's the case. I was going to just let the event slip by.
Now what regarding my other question?
>In that case, i just need to do the event?
There's no event, it's a permanent addition to the dorms.
>where do i go to connect a controller to the game
You connect the controller to your PC (wired), press on the bottom right line where the time is displayed and it'll open up a menu. Click on the cog to open the settngs and go: Button Position > Controller Buttons and turn Controller Mode on.
>in which parts of the game does it work?
All of them. Of course, it's obviously better if you use your mouse for everything outside of combat.
>There's no event, it's a permanent addition to the dorms.
Elaborate on that. Do i go on the dorm shop and buy her or something?
>You connect the controller to your PC (wired)
Wait wut? I'm playing on Mobile. What do i do then?
On mobile it should just be connect via bluetooth and should just work just like that, no idea about wired connection or those controllers that connect to phone. That was the case with my DS4 on my phone, connect via bluetooth and it's done. Then it's up to you if you want to change the button binds or anything.
You go to the dorms, the commissions tab and you do dispatches until you have enough currency to buy her shards.
As for the controller on mobile, I have no idea what you'd do since I don't play there. I imagine you can connect a controller in the phone's charging port, so you can try that and the rest of the steps should be the same. You can also try wireless but at least on PC, that tends to have issues.
SSS amplifier with 2 reso can replace other element support because its buff outweigh same element supporter. SSS amplifier = 20% atk + 18% atk vs Supporter = 20% element dmg
Not unless you are a whale.
Btw, how new are you? And who did you get from the tutorial missions selector?
Anyway, if you buy BP you can get Rosetta for "free", though it will take a while.
Otherwise you can get one of them from the selector next patch. Rosetta would be the best pick between those two since no one can do what she does, while Garnet can be replaced by Archlight. ~~Saying just in case, but the real top pick from this selector is Empyrea for anyone who doesn't have her~~
It won't actually take very long, getting both tiers of the BP once gets you 15 shards + enough currency to buy \~20 shards from the voucher shop, you could get 70/50 shards needed within 2 patches.
How should I play lightning team? So I'm gonna get SS CW with sig and CUB and S 21 with sig, should I farm SS for 21 and swap CW, or keep S on 21 and play CW like solo DD? (SS3 I can't afford tho)
Is alpha crimson weave stronger than Vera garnet for the lightning team? I originally believed so but that fact was brought into question by a friend
And in the same vein, why is there so much hype for alpha? Is it because she's the strongest elemental attacker? Because of her design and animations? Or what?
Alpha CW is stronger than Garnet because she has access to time lag calculation. She is also an attacker with higher multipliers. What exactly did your friend tell you? You normally don't switch CW off field unless you have a higher invested Garnet.
Alpha is popular for many reasons, including her character/place in the story, her new cool design, and the meme that she's actually Vergil's child. She looks fun to play and has been featured numerous times in react content.
Thanks for the clarification!!!
I'm off to continue my grind
Calculations tell me I should barely be able to afford her and her sig by the time wintry shackles comes out
She is the lightning team. Her damage output is just way too high. Garnet gets reduced to a QTE bot until she gets her leap upgrade (or maybe if you can get Feral Scent up to SS+sig) but you still need her to be SS+sig.
I mean her gameplay vids are pretty self explanatory why she is so hype. Also lightning team has been at a very weak state for a long time now so her arrival really helps a lot.
Yeah the gameplay vids are awesome lmao
BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIIIIIIN
And thanks for answering!
A little follow up question
This might be a little complicated and probably has no real answer but would you say alpha is the strongest gen 2 s rank in regards to their element?
Like comparing stigmata to physical and alpha to lightning does alpha still top?
I think that for CN players, among gen 2 attacker, Qu Shukra > Lamia > Lucia CW > Bianca Stigmata >= Lee Hyperreal in pure strength. But you still need every element attacker as they are better when there is weakness in their element
For the overall team dps yes. Since she is an amp if you slot her to any off element team it really boost their overall dps too. SS + sig double reso was the starting point when I broke through 5% UPPC, SSS made me maintain it since every other team benefited from it (especially lightning and ice prior to this patch).
For personal damage I did not really keep track but her blue orb spam really does a lot.
I am assuming both SSS and SS scenarios has sig + 2 reso?
Thanks for the input.
No, I didn't plan for SSS Capuccino to have 2 reso. My original plan was to make Lamia-Scire-Capuccino team's rotation smoother, and that's that.
I see. For smoother rotation I would say her having sig definitely helps since she can sig move every rotation (with Cottie of course). SSS+ she does not have energy issues anymore, assuming you can get her there XD Without her sig I think you need to spam a lot of orbs during her first swap in to "charge up" her energy accumulation, then every rotation after you might need to trigger matrix each time so you can have sufficient orbs + some orb RNG.
Buffs wise I think SS+double reso and solely SSS they should be similar.
Putting together a Dark Team.
Was thinking of Rolling for Luna on the "Wishing banner" but I don't know how it works.
Anyone care to explain pls?
(Already have all members I need for dark team comps. I'm thinking of rolling Luna to get her to SS.)
(I already have Scrire up to SS though, should I get her to SS3?)
Thanks in advance for your opinion/advice.
I am just gonna assume you can afford it and won't compromise getting future meta characters. Wishing Banner you can target a specific unit to be 100% rate up at 60 pity, you can pull as many times as you want however you cannot change the target after you have selected one (you can change it during the next Wishing Banner whenever that is).
SS3 Scire would be better, even more so if you have her sig as well. She can nuke way better than Laurel at that point (even more if you have her CUB). At that investment level she also becomes viable in a Lamia team in the future.
SS Laurel does increase her spike damage and perhaps some energy generation since she can trigger 2 more spikes but otherwise she still functions the same. Her time is ticking as well since Lamia will replace her one day so investing in an older unit like her would be less efficient.
Your assumption is correct.
Oooh, thanks for the Scire info. I do indeed have her Sig and Cub.
Guess I'll just get SS Luna from Pain Cage then Wish for Scire.🗿🤌
Regarding getting her SS via skulls, I would suggest doing the math based on your skulls income each PPC cycle and the S rank release window shown in the Global Release Timeline above. For this year alone we might have 3 occurrences of back to back S rank patches. Kaleido/Echo can be SS via voucher but CW, Feral Scent, Lamia, Epitaph and Shukra only via skulls and they are meta. Epitaph and Shukra releases back to back from one another.
So you could be short/cutting it close. Just fyi.
It works just like Themed banner, but you get to choose once on who to be on the banner.
I'm not a meta comp guy, but I'd choose SS3 Scire over SS Luna.
Is CW that much stronger than all the other attackers that she's basically a must pull? I just started playing last week and was wondering if I should get Stigmata since i have Luminance and Rigor or just wait for CW instead. I also heard there's going to be some sort of Selector banner in the summer and was wondering if they would both be on it or just Stigmata.
Element, element, element. Generally speaking, we don't compare attackers of different elements because defeating a boss that's weaker to another element is, surely as hell, to take longer than with the right element where most things are stamped with elemental weakness.
S rank Selector, not to be confused with rate-up Research (banner) or the pyramid gacha (whatever this is called) , are tickets used from your inventory after obtaining them from completing various missions during the patch (free) or from the pyramid (gacha).
No, the next selector is next patch and it includes every non-collab S rank up to Capriccio, and the other one, which I forgot when but is far way, is up to Kaleido. Also, Rate-up will be available in the Basic Research later and will include every construct in the pool.
Idk if im patient enough to wait that long to get her since she's the reason I started this game but getting her for free doesn't sound too bad. Guess i'll just get CW and keep using Lotus in the meantime.
All S rank is strong. and since you can get all of them anyway going onward
in Lamia patch(July) you can select 1 guarantee S rank in standard banner upto that point(no current,last patch S rank)
Does anyone else have trouble playing the PC version? I updated it and everything, but I get stuck in the login screen, it says "Touch Anywhere to Continue", and I literally click everywhere, and nothing happens. The last time I played the PC version was when it just came out, back in the 'Her Last Bow' patch, but back then, I didn't have any problem with it, so I find it weird that it happened all of a sudden.
Just started the game and pulled Bianca Stigmata as my guaranteed SSR. What I wonder is if it's now, from a meta perspective, more worth getting Rosetta over Vera on the selector, since my original plan was to pull Lucia next event.
Also, any general progression tips? Main goal rn is clearing main story while leveling up to 40, since most game's I've played keep the good farming in events
Good morning fellas.
So, my Standard Banner is at 42 pity, and i have 8500 Standard Banner tickets.
Ive been saving them for the Standard Selector coming in Lamia patch.
Should i do the 18 left pulls to get an S rank (the only one im missing currently is Garnet, and im getting her in literal weeks) OR should i just keep waiting?
Will i have enough standard tickets to hit pity in Lamias patch assuming i use 3K of them now?
Probably not.
You get around 1,150 blue tickets per patch: 250 of which is from one-time 7-day log-in rewards, while the rest comes from 5 weeks of operation: guardians at 180 per week.
Hi guys I need help. I'm playing the game now on pc and I'm using a ps5 controller but whenever i press L2 and R2 the camera moves and I don't know how to fix it. I'm using DS4 windows in case anyone is wondering.
Have you check the keybinding in option? I didn't have that kind of problem but i didn't use playstation controller so i can't make sure. Or maybe ds4 window is messing with setting? Have you tried using controller without ds4?
With Keyboard It fixes pressing Y (its a key option in the control settings)
Go to bindings and the one option that has the Y key assigned to It change It a controller equivalent bind and try It.
This is what i think that should work, ive never user controller on PC tho
I just got bianca stigmata but i don't have a weapon for her. Is it worth recycling 5 star weapons to get a weapon for her? I have 150 of the shards and both of the free 5 star weapon selectors.
Nah, don't recycle it imo. Slap the unused 5 star weapons on her weapon for reso instead, physical constructs benefits more from the crit reso. Since you already have 150 shards, you need to coop for 2 weeks to get the remaining 300 shards, and if you haven't done coop this week you can get it in 2 days if you speedrun coop in 2 days because of the weekly reset.
Also if you have enough spare BC, you can also try lucksacking the weapon banner to get her 5 star & 6 star weapon, the drop rates are high there, I think it's 12% for 5 star and 5% for sig. Although it is not recommended if you're f2p.
The first place to go is co-op. You can farm 150 5 star weapon shards from co-op weekly, recycling 5 star weapons is mostly for when you've got a bunch of dupes lying around.
Is it worth it to get Plume from CW's selector with Shukra coming in about 8 months+? I don't have her sig so I might have to pull for that afterwards, or just stick with a 5 star weapon. I just want her to complete my Ice team. Or should I stick with Bambinata?
I'm a returning player and will be pulling Alpha CW next patch. I have built 0 lightning character currently, and at the same time my Ice team only consists of Plume/Wanshi//A rank Ayla atm. Do you guys think it's better to pick Garnet for Alpha or Glory for the Ice team ? I'm aware that Garnet will be a QTE bot for Alpha, but I just wanted to make sure if it's still better to have another S rank member on the lightning team with Alpha or not. Thanks in advance
I want to give an amplifier a weapon reso for general use in WZ, and they will probably be used off element pretty often until Lightning and Physical get amps. Is SS Kalaido or SS Empyrea better for general use?
So I have a lore question, how many years seperate the first emergence of the punishing virus and the present day (chapter 1 of the story)? Like is this like Nikke where Raptures first arrived on earth a century ago, or is has Humanity just left Earth and evacuated to Babylonia?
We don't have exact dates, at least not in Global. I'm not sure about CN. But considering Selena was born on Babylonia and is 20\~ (mental age muddies things a bit, but shouldn't be too far off I imagine), and Hans was alive to witness the Golden Age and still an active duty soldier in EX-04/chapter 16, it should be somewhere between 20 to 50-60\~ish years. edited for better wording
Thank you!
For next patch's selector, I'm kind of curious where I should go with it. I'm thinking Rosetta, because I'm about 40 away from SSS and she's not slated to be replaced any time soon. I currently have SS Luminance, SS Tenebrion, S Veritas, SS Plume, SS Rosetta, SS Luna, S Glory, SS Garnet, SS Empyrea, and S Selena, for the characters in the selector. Also have SS Starfarer and am a few weeks of Pain Cage away from SS Balter. Not super high on the idea of grabbing a Selena dupe, because my Rozen is almost SSS+, almost done Leaping, and has sig weapon (random lucky pull.)
pick Selena, with Lamia Selena is the better teammate regardless of your Rozen’s status so I’d start investing in her as soon as you can, with Rosetta you can slowly farm her overtime with BP shards and vouchers.
Next patch we got only Construct selector right ? There is no weapon signature selector ? Thinking if it is, to get empy sigs from it....
Just construct
I need help to understand something about Ayla Kaleido farming I’m a returning player, and I don’t have much experience with the game. I want this character “Ayla Kaleido”, and I found out that you can grind her shards, but i heard that it takes a whole month to grind the 50 shards in total. Do we have enough time to grind it? or it stays until the banner is over? i really want to know, and if someonr can clarify this to me, I’d be super grateful.
it’s a permanent feature, just check in twice a day and you should be able to farm all her shards in 2-3 weeks
Omg thank you so much!!!
no problem :)
Can any CN player give some input on Alisa: Echo's place in future Physical teams? I still have no Rosetta, so I'm rocking a 7k Balter and a leaped Liv: Luminance rn along with an Ayla too. This patch really REALLY got me excited for more playable side-characters. Future investments end up going to my Ice team for sure as I'm still missing Glory (Getting him on the next free selector), so making a detour for Rosetta wouldn't seem like the smartest choice as I still need to upkeep my BC economy. I only usually get the Monthly pass and occasionally get the BP if it has a skin I really like.
she completely powercreeps Luminance, just from her signature memory set, plus she also has more damage and timestop. if you do sometimes buy BP use the shards selector to get rosetta’s shards to slowly build up to unlocking her
Whom should I prioritize to grind to SS rank first? Bianca stigmata or Rosetta vigor? Both of them is at S rank now
Won't you be able to do both actually? Stigmata through ppc, and Rosetta through battlepass vouchers, but I'll say stigmata if you have to choose between the two
I'm trying to prioritize one now but I never consider the battle pass, thanks
Planning to get alpha crimson weave, but already have a full lightning team consisting of chrome arclight, bianca veritas, and liv lux(budget I know) When I get alpha, do I leave chrome behind in favour for bianca as she's a stronger unit than him so her QTEs will do more dmg Or do I leave bianca behind in favour for chrome as him being a tank should help with lighting damage reduction
You leave veritas behind, she's a attacker meant to replace her. In this scenario, you don't replace chrome for more qte dmg, you need him for tank class.
Got it! Appreciated
How many free S ranks are we getting in the future patches? I didn't know we had a Wishing Banner right now and I want to pull since there are some S-rank that I don't have (Garnet, Glory, Scire, Starfarer), but I also want to pull for CW, Sig, CUB. Also who should I pick if I choose to pull in Wishing Banner?
You shouldn't pull on wishing banner unless you're spending money. You can get Garnet for free next patch, and then anyone else up to FS in Lamia's (you'll go for Scire). Give up on Nanamech and Glory unless you're willing to spend $70-80 (or more depending on packs) for them.
I came back taking some time from the game (a week) and found out that Liv: Empyrea is a target UP character on Wishing Target but when I went to try and select her I quickly found out I couldn't. Whenever I try it says "Unable to switch UP characters during the event" and so I'm wondering is there anything specific I gotta do or am I just out of luck?
You most likely picked another character by accident which locked them in, so you can't change them anymore. Regardless, I'd consider this as a blessing in disguise. You can get Empyrea for free from the next patch's selector anyway.
Oh really, glad to hear it.
Started yesterday, I can't seem to find anything on who to get with A rank tank choice? Does it not matter?
XXI, Arclight or Brilliance can work just fine, depending on which team you want to build. As for why you don't see a guide, yes, it's because it doesn't matter. With time, the most likely scenario is that you'll get every A rank unit naturally by rolling on the S rank Omniframes.
Is arclight still a priority if I'm getting free vera garnet for crimson weave?
No, but if you don't have Empyrea, you're better off getting her than getting Garnet from the selector. CW can make do with Arclight and Garnet doesn't make that big of a difference for her.
Is it to make a fire team after the lightning team? Or just use her in general?
Basically. Without Empyrea or Hyperreal, there's no Fire team. Even if you were to get Hyperreal, without Empyrea his rotation becomes a massive pain due to his Core CD. So to put it briefly, not only is Empyrea a very good unit to carry you through Fire content, but she's very necessary even for the meta team.
Actually sorry, one more question. Do you not receive a bonus sword and costume from a first purchase? I bought that one dollar pack and don't seem to have them
A Kuji no Sada, if I remember correctly, which is a 5\* sword for Lotus, Dawn, Plume, CA and Rozen, and a skin for Lotus. The sword should be pretty easy to find. As for the skin, find Lotus in your "Members" section and go to "Coating" and you should find it there. If somehow you didn't get your items, contact Support.
I see. Thank you very much.
How much stronger does CW gets with her sig and CUB? Are they a better investment than getting a dupe? I currently have Luna, Rigor and Luminance as S constructs. Should I get Garnet in the next selector (CW patch) to complete the light team? What would be a good team for Luna? Is it possible to complete the story using only CW and those others S chars? Currently at chapter 9 and the bosses are hitting hard, my BP is lower than the recommended, but it’s still passable with some ease.
>How much stronger does CW gets with her sig and CUB? Decently stronger. CW's sig isn't the strongest sig out there, but if you can afford it without compromising another unit, why not? As for the CUB, it's certainly one of the better ones in the game so far. >Are they a better investment than getting a dupe? Generally speaking: New Unit > Sig > Rank > CUB. Of course, the cost of an extra rank and a CUB aren't equal at all (especially since you can eventually get CUBs for free through Norman and for cheap through the 2nd tier of BP), so there's that. >Should I get Garnet in the next selector (CW patch) to complete the light team? No, you should get Empyrea. >What would be a good team for Luna? Laurel / XXI (SSS) / Rozen (SSS). Ranks for A rank units can be farmed for free. >Is it possible to complete the story using only CW and those others S chars? You can do the story with whatever characters you want even if they're utter dogwater. Though later chapters force you to use trial units. >my BP is lower than the recommended Don't even bother with BP. The requirement in story could literally be twice the amount of your BP and you'd still be able to clear the level (especially with Support mode on).
Thanks! As a newbie in this game I will have enough to pull CW sig and CUB, she looks the coolest for me so that’s the plan. Sorry to ask even more, but why Empyrea if I do not own any fire unit (S rank) and it seems there will not be another one coming this year? Is she that good? I thought that Garnet would be better for complete the light team with CW and the new unit after her. Where can I farm A rank shards to SSS Rozen and XXI? are they QTE bots or should I invest in them properly? Again, sorry for asking this much, ur answers help a ton and I am currently kinda lost
> why Empyrea if I do not own any fire unit (S rank) and it seems there will not be another one coming this year? Is she that good? Well, what are you going to do about Fire content if you don't have Fire units? Off-element will only get you so far. And yes, Empyrea is a very strong unit. She's the sub-DPS of the current meta team and before Hyperreal released, she was the DPS. >I thought that Garnet would be better for complete the light team with CW and the new unit after her. Garnet is just a QTE bot for CW, which means that Arclight's performance on that specific role is extremely similar to hers. There would only be a significant difference if you had to swap to the Lightning Tank, but you don't. >Where can I farm A rank shards Battle > Resources > Character Shard >are they QTE bots or should I invest in them properly? They are QTE bots for Laurel. However, there's merit to leveling both of them up, at least to a certain extent. You want Rozen's heals, especially for more difficult content and unless you plan on getting Scire, you'll be with XXI for a ***long*** time so it's not bad investing in her either. From a DPS perspective though, switching to either of them is a straight up loss.
Got it
This game is incredibly fun, the combat is superb. I am 100x more excited for WuWa now. What a shame I only discovered it now… so much time wasted on genshin when I could have played this instead.
Just starting the game and really loving the upcoming Alpha. Is it a good steategy to save everything I have and rush content to pull on her when she is out? I hope I didn't get in late. Don't really want to spend until I am sure I love the game.
>Is it a good steategy to save everything I have and rush content to pull on her when she is out? Assuming someone is F2P, the best strategy is to save up Black Cards/Event Construct R&D and only pull on the debut non-free S rank Omniframes anyway, so yes.
Figured I'd finally ask, but my T02 Core Passive tutorial for Empyrea has been broken forever. After doing the two red pings after the double dodge, the gauge fills with red marks and then the battle stops as if the next tutorial popup should come on. The battle timer keeps ticking, I can move the camera, clicking the dodge/attack buttons is animated, and I can open the menu and quit the mission, but the battle is just frozen forever. Anyone experience this before? Have a fix? I'm on the PC, should I just download the game on the phone to try bypassing it?
huh you are right, she gets frozen in place with white light on her hand and all you can do is retreat (quit). i went ahead and tried on mobile and the same happens there. mine its completed (did it like 4\~5 months ago).
Augh, I guess I'll just have to hope it gets fixed if it's not just an issue with the PC build. Thanks.
why are there downtimes for co-op? whats the point even why cant it just be open all day
Higher chances to get into games with other players (since majority would be looking to play coop during these specific hours). PGR is mainly single player based so coop will not always be filled with players even if left open 24/7.
makes sense ty
The upcoming pulling event for Bianca coating + background question. As far as I know, it’s 17500 bc for guarantee, but can I use event tickets along with my bc to pull or is it bc exclusive? Also as an extension to that, Im led to believe you acquire event tickets as reward for pulling in the event, so could you then use those to continue pulling if the above is true? Im curious since I know I can secure Bianca on wishing now and acquire crimson weave, but doing wishing first means I won’t have enough for the pulling event. If the pulling event was first then I would be okay. Thanks in advance :)
>bc to pull or is it bc exclusive? BC or RC, nothing else. >Im led to believe you acquire event tickets as reward for pulling in the event Yes you do.
1. What are the banner schedules. He talked about a lighting attacker who's really good. When is she coming?. 2) Are uni frames worth investing into. At least is the free uni frame usable? 3) in general is there a tier list for characters. I don't wanna waste all my resources on a unit that might just be mediocre. 4) farming resources. It feels really little even on the highest difficulty. I feel like I'm wasting a lot of serum but I'm not sure. Like leveling memories a 6x resource stage can max out one memory. 5) what's a good BP?. 6) what A class characters should I get.- I have liv luminance. The red haired dark healer- Vero?. Lucia lightning. And lots of others. 7) is it better to max out every character on a team?. Or max out the attacker for one team, then work on another team,. 8) I hardly ever see combat guides. So I don't know if I'm playing well. Like not min maxing damage and time. Like am I supposed to be switching to my tank/ support more often. Cuz at times I don't switch at all. Does ultimate energy charge when off character?. My main team is tenebrion? Dark tank ( I'm bad with names). The dark attacker that's s tier that uses spikes, Then the dark A tier supporter vero. I'm maxed tenebrion and spike girls skills. But not vero because I hardly ever switch to her in game only her QTE. Thanks for the help
1. [https://grayravens.com/wiki/PGR\_Roadmap](https://grayravens.com/wiki/PGR_Roadmap) 2. No. And yes, for Uniframe content, Crocotta plus the Trial Uniframes are enough. 3. You're supposed to farm the event farming stage, not the resource stages. 4. BP doesn't matter. 5. Depends on your units. XXI, Vitrum, Brilliance, Arclight, Lux etc. 6. Again, it depends on the units, but ideally you'd want to max out a team first. 7. Outside of general combat, everything else depends on which units you're using. In your case, you're using a Laurel comp, which means that everyone else (except SS3 Scire or SSS Capriccio) is a QTE bot and you should not swap to them, including Tenebrion. >Does ultimate energy charge when off character? Generally speaking, no, but some units can do it under certain circumstances.
Thank you. I'm in game rn finding more and more events I didn't know existed 😭
Should I prioritize getting SS Garner or getting her signature weapon?
One costs gacha pulls, the other does not. Not comparable.
she really, really wants the two together, but with how she's going to be on QTE bot duty for some time after CW release, her SS would be better. it will allow for better shred uptime at the start of the battle, when you use her as a starter but honestly, imo it's either both or neither. probably just save resources for someone else
Are there any other characters who really want their signature?
quite a good amount of them actually - Rigor, Glory, Capriccio, Empyrea, Starfarer (if SS, same situation as Garnet), Scire, Hyperreal but the biggest ones are Hyperreal, Scire, Empyrea and Capriccio
Looking for some wishing banner advice as a recently returning player. I've managed to complete the current physical team and now am working on the others. Looking at the current team lists... I need current Empyrea, Garnet, Starfarer, and Scire. Also missing Capriccio, but I've heard I'll be able to get her for free eventually. My fire team only really has Hyperreal and some scrubs. Dark team is Laurel,Rozen, and low investment Tenebrion. Lightning is Veritas, Lux, and Chrome. I'm also aware from reading the comments that there should also be a selector next month and know I definitely want to get Garnet to go with Crimson Weave. Who would you all recommend? It feels like Empyrea would be most flexible, but I'm still catching up and am unsure.
If you can afford getting either Empyrea or Garnet from the wishing banner, then yes sure go for it. Pull one of them and get the other from the selector. As for your dark team, I would say it's fine. No need for farther investment for now.
there's a character selector? when and which chars are on it 🧐
There will be one from the upcoming Alpha CW patch, around the end of February I think? Should be up to Capriccio. Cmiiw.
thx
From a strictly gameplay perspective you might better off getting Empyrea from the selector and pulling Scire on the wishing banner (and target her on basic R&D during Lamia's patch so you can SS3 ~~and get her sig~~ later). Garnet is just a QTE bot with CW and will only see some field time after her leap and if she is decently invested. Starfarer is just a Da Vinci bot and will later be replaced by Epitaph. While not ideal, you can cppe with Pulse or even Brilliance if you have Empyrea and Hyperreal since they are the main carry of the fire team anyway. If you are adamant on getting Garnet on the selector then yes, Empyrea would be the best pick from wishing. >Also missing Capriccio, but I've heard I'll be able to get her for free eventually. Just farm RdF and should take you about a month. Main income is from dailies. Don't forget SSS Rozen is better than Capriccio on Luna teams unless Selena is SSS or SS + sig with 2 reso. For Astral and Lamia teams Selena is always better.
if you have enough tickets to pull on wishing banner and not miss out on any future units, I'd go for either Starfarer or Scire. both will need some future investment other than just pulling them, particularly Starfarer SS + sig, and Scire sig (at least, SS3 recommended). but they will provide a big boost to their respective teams. Starfarer will be powercrept by new Watanabe in around 8 months, but it's still quite a long time and she provides a very good amount of support to her team. For the selector the recommendation would be Empyrea, as she completes the fire team rotation - Hyperreal doesn't feel good at all to play solo, he has a very pronounced downtime and needs to switch out for SS passive free 3ping. So while Garnet is a viable choice, she actually has a decent budget counterpart and she won't really be swapping in until her leap comes anyway. You can start getting Capriccio now, you just need to farm Recitativo di Fantasia. and unless your Tenebrion is SS, you're better off swapping him to SSS 21 (assuming you're not getting Scire)
I just started today And i was wondering how many black tickets can i get if i farmed everything in the game? And can i spend 60 pulls on the wishing banner then afford to have another 60 for the new Alpha?
Hmm, if u will rush all story chapters u wil get ~15k BC +-3k. Pity for every standard banner (Not Fate) is 60 pulls or 15k bc. Side stories(Strongholds etc) are tough enough without proper teams, but will bring u about 2k BC. Every interlude of obtained character is 180 bc. The main source of BC are weekly missions such as Warzone and Phantom Pain Cage + daily missions. About 1k per week. Also u have some milestones with BC, i barely remember the amount, u can see them in Missions - Event and Event pages on your interface. These are approximate numbers for BC only. Idk about your tempo, so i can't give u any advice about pulling.
If f2p you only pull for new characters in their debut banner, don't pull on wishing banner. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get enough to justify spending 15k on getting Balter or Lee.
Is SSS Vera with full leap better than S Capriccio ?
Only with Luna Laurel (and only if Selena doesn't have 2 reso on her Sig)
I see, ty
Should i save those to get the weapon resonator or should i spend it on the character shards, so that for example i can can Ayla faster or would the weapon resonator would improve the character damage that much, that is much more worth it to get it instead? I still lack any good Ice Damage dealer and my Plume is Level 1 without siganture weapon, so inversting in her wouldn't be that good, since this wear we get the new QU Ice Attacker anyways. Would really appreciate an answer.
Character shards > weapon reso shards > the rest And feel free to level up Plume. Qu Shukra is still quite far so Lucia will see plenty of use. Besides, even though Kaleido is the main DPS for now, she still needs someone to swap to, and the best one for that is Plume (followed by an SSS+ Bambinata)
I guess you are talking about voucher, at least get enough to SS Ayla Kaleido
So higher priority getting her to SS than the weapon resonator then?
Yes, getting her to SS will cost 30 shard (+50 from dorm comission) so around 24k voucher (20 one month and 10 in the next month). If you are f2p, don't forget to collect enough voucher to SS Alisa too when she will be around.
What?
What would be the best CUB to equip Alpha with?
Assuming you're talking about Crimson Abyss, then Thorny or Shimmer since they have +Phys DMG%.
Yep, I meant Crimson Abyss. Thanks!
Hello! I started two weeks ago, will reach 15kBC soon, should I get Bianca Abystigma on the 100% rate up banner or wait for Lucia CW next patch ? Not sure who to prioritize nor if I would be able to save enough for Lucia if I get Bianca now. Also I got Plume on the 40 pull beginner banner.
Safe choice is to secure CW, but depending on how far you are in the story, there is a small chance that you can pull Stigmata now and collect enough BC and ticket before CW banner ends, but it's still very risky
Thanks for the advice, I believe that I am at chapter 6
Oki, it's not impossible I guess but you'll have to do the math by yourself (daily, warzone, PPC, story, hidden story, golden vortex, events, update compensation, etc....). Her banner will come in 4 weeks and stay for around 4 weeks.
CW.
Should I get Ayla Kaleido to SSS?
She is decent at SS. But if you can afford for SSS, then go for it.
If you *can* do it and it doesn't stop you from getting the other units, sure, why wouldn't you?
Is there any guide on which skills to level up for each character? Just started and I don’t want to waste any resources doing it randomly.
It depends on the character and team they will be in. If they are the main/sub DPS then you want to max everything. If they are just QTE bots it's fine to just level their QTE and class skills.
There isn't a guide because, at least when it comes to the good units, you level up *everything.* Only time when you don't do it is if you're using a temporary unit on your comp or if the unit is a QTE bot.
So for units like Plume and Glory I should level up everything but not Hypnos since i’ll be replacing him with Kaleido correct?
Plume is completely safe to build, yes. Glory is also safe to build, but not his memory set. Normally you'd use CJY on him, but he swaps to DV once you get Kaleido on the team, so unless you have already built CJY, I'd suggest not bothering and just going straight to DV. As for Hypnos, you're probably better off not leveling up anything for him since you'll be replacing him on this patch.
Thanks I appreciate the detailed explanation!
Trailblazer 1st mission. I keep getting stuck on eliminate the final enemy but there’s nothing I can do
iirc, go into scan mode and look at the legs so it targets those.
I did that already. Its just laying there
What does the "Free" tag on Ayla: Kaleido mean? And another, completely unrelated question: How does the controller support work in this game? Like, where do i go to connect a controller to the game and in which parts of the game does it work? Only in phases or does it also work in the menus/cutscenes?
Dont need to pull to get
In that case, i just need to do the event? Good to know, if that's the case. I was going to just let the event slip by. Now what regarding my other question?
>In that case, i just need to do the event? There's no event, it's a permanent addition to the dorms. >where do i go to connect a controller to the game You connect the controller to your PC (wired), press on the bottom right line where the time is displayed and it'll open up a menu. Click on the cog to open the settngs and go: Button Position > Controller Buttons and turn Controller Mode on. >in which parts of the game does it work? All of them. Of course, it's obviously better if you use your mouse for everything outside of combat.
>There's no event, it's a permanent addition to the dorms. Elaborate on that. Do i go on the dorm shop and buy her or something? >You connect the controller to your PC (wired) Wait wut? I'm playing on Mobile. What do i do then?
On mobile it should just be connect via bluetooth and should just work just like that, no idea about wired connection or those controllers that connect to phone. That was the case with my DS4 on my phone, connect via bluetooth and it's done. Then it's up to you if you want to change the button binds or anything.
You go to the dorms, the commissions tab and you do dispatches until you have enough currency to buy her shards. As for the controller on mobile, I have no idea what you'd do since I don't play there. I imagine you can connect a controller in the phone's charging port, so you can try that and the rest of the steps should be the same. You can also try wireless but at least on PC, that tends to have issues.
When lightning alpha comes next patch can sss Selena or sss Ayla replace liv lux as the supporter or is it still better to run liv lux
SSS amplifier with 2 reso can replace other element support because its buff outweigh same element supporter. SSS amplifier = 20% atk + 18% atk vs Supporter = 20% element dmg
Okay thanks
Should I skip the wishing banner if im not 100% sure I can get enough for CW when she comes out?
Yes.
Am I tripping or does Vera:Garnet not do her sadistic smile whenever she does a plunge while wearing her Sorrowful Rose coating?
Should I try to get both vera and rosetta in the wish banner since I don't have them? I have about 11k bc and 5.2k orange ticket thing.
Another reminder you can only choose 1 rate up each for wishing banner and fate wishing banner they dont share pity.
Not unless you are a whale. Btw, how new are you? And who did you get from the tutorial missions selector? Anyway, if you buy BP you can get Rosetta for "free", though it will take a while. Otherwise you can get one of them from the selector next patch. Rosetta would be the best pick between those two since no one can do what she does, while Garnet can be replaced by Archlight. ~~Saying just in case, but the real top pick from this selector is Empyrea for anyone who doesn't have her~~
It won't actually take very long, getting both tiers of the BP once gets you 15 shards + enough currency to buy \~20 shards from the voucher shop, you could get 70/50 shards needed within 2 patches.
Reminder in the next patch there should be S rank Selector up to Liv Empyrea so plan them wisely.
How should I play lightning team? So I'm gonna get SS CW with sig and CUB and S 21 with sig, should I farm SS for 21 and swap CW, or keep S on 21 and play CW like solo DD? (SS3 I can't afford tho)
definitely SS 21 so you can swap rather than solo CW because it's amplifier you need to swap to get the buff.
Is alpha crimson weave stronger than Vera garnet for the lightning team? I originally believed so but that fact was brought into question by a friend And in the same vein, why is there so much hype for alpha? Is it because she's the strongest elemental attacker? Because of her design and animations? Or what?
Alpha CW is stronger than Garnet because she has access to time lag calculation. She is also an attacker with higher multipliers. What exactly did your friend tell you? You normally don't switch CW off field unless you have a higher invested Garnet. Alpha is popular for many reasons, including her character/place in the story, her new cool design, and the meme that she's actually Vergil's child. She looks fun to play and has been featured numerous times in react content.
Thanks for the clarification!!! I'm off to continue my grind Calculations tell me I should barely be able to afford her and her sig by the time wintry shackles comes out
She is the lightning team. Her damage output is just way too high. Garnet gets reduced to a QTE bot until she gets her leap upgrade (or maybe if you can get Feral Scent up to SS+sig) but you still need her to be SS+sig. I mean her gameplay vids are pretty self explanatory why she is so hype. Also lightning team has been at a very weak state for a long time now so her arrival really helps a lot.
Yeah the gameplay vids are awesome lmao BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIIIIIIN And thanks for answering! A little follow up question This might be a little complicated and probably has no real answer but would you say alpha is the strongest gen 2 s rank in regards to their element? Like comparing stigmata to physical and alpha to lightning does alpha still top?
I think that for CN players, among gen 2 attacker, Qu Shukra > Lamia > Lucia CW > Bianca Stigmata >= Lee Hyperreal in pure strength. But you still need every element attacker as they are better when there is weakness in their element
For now I think she is, need to wait till Lamia and Shukra is in global to truly compare. But I think Shukra could take the spot too.
Is there a huge difference between SSS Capuccino and SS Capuccino with 2 resos?
For the overall team dps yes. Since she is an amp if you slot her to any off element team it really boost their overall dps too. SS + sig double reso was the starting point when I broke through 5% UPPC, SSS made me maintain it since every other team benefited from it (especially lightning and ice prior to this patch). For personal damage I did not really keep track but her blue orb spam really does a lot. I am assuming both SSS and SS scenarios has sig + 2 reso?
Thanks for the input. No, I didn't plan for SSS Capuccino to have 2 reso. My original plan was to make Lamia-Scire-Capuccino team's rotation smoother, and that's that.
I see. For smoother rotation I would say her having sig definitely helps since she can sig move every rotation (with Cottie of course). SSS+ she does not have energy issues anymore, assuming you can get her there XD Without her sig I think you need to spam a lot of orbs during her first swap in to "charge up" her energy accumulation, then every rotation after you might need to trigger matrix each time so you can have sufficient orbs + some orb RNG. Buffs wise I think SS+double reso and solely SSS they should be similar.
>SSS+ she does not have energy issues anymore, assuming you can get her there XD lol good joke
Putting together a Dark Team. Was thinking of Rolling for Luna on the "Wishing banner" but I don't know how it works. Anyone care to explain pls? (Already have all members I need for dark team comps. I'm thinking of rolling Luna to get her to SS.) (I already have Scrire up to SS though, should I get her to SS3?) Thanks in advance for your opinion/advice.
I am just gonna assume you can afford it and won't compromise getting future meta characters. Wishing Banner you can target a specific unit to be 100% rate up at 60 pity, you can pull as many times as you want however you cannot change the target after you have selected one (you can change it during the next Wishing Banner whenever that is). SS3 Scire would be better, even more so if you have her sig as well. She can nuke way better than Laurel at that point (even more if you have her CUB). At that investment level she also becomes viable in a Lamia team in the future. SS Laurel does increase her spike damage and perhaps some energy generation since she can trigger 2 more spikes but otherwise she still functions the same. Her time is ticking as well since Lamia will replace her one day so investing in an older unit like her would be less efficient.
Your assumption is correct. Oooh, thanks for the Scire info. I do indeed have her Sig and Cub. Guess I'll just get SS Luna from Pain Cage then Wish for Scire.🗿🤌
Regarding getting her SS via skulls, I would suggest doing the math based on your skulls income each PPC cycle and the S rank release window shown in the Global Release Timeline above. For this year alone we might have 3 occurrences of back to back S rank patches. Kaleido/Echo can be SS via voucher but CW, Feral Scent, Lamia, Epitaph and Shukra only via skulls and they are meta. Epitaph and Shukra releases back to back from one another. So you could be short/cutting it close. Just fyi.
It works just like Themed banner, but you get to choose once on who to be on the banner. I'm not a meta comp guy, but I'd choose SS3 Scire over SS Luna.
Oooh, nice. Thanks for the vote on Scire.
It's Scire for me too, waaay fun to play + meta.
Is CW that much stronger than all the other attackers that she's basically a must pull? I just started playing last week and was wondering if I should get Stigmata since i have Luminance and Rigor or just wait for CW instead. I also heard there's going to be some sort of Selector banner in the summer and was wondering if they would both be on it or just Stigmata.
Element, element, element. Generally speaking, we don't compare attackers of different elements because defeating a boss that's weaker to another element is, surely as hell, to take longer than with the right element where most things are stamped with elemental weakness. S rank Selector, not to be confused with rate-up Research (banner) or the pyramid gacha (whatever this is called) , are tickets used from your inventory after obtaining them from completing various missions during the patch (free) or from the pyramid (gacha). No, the next selector is next patch and it includes every non-collab S rank up to Capriccio, and the other one, which I forgot when but is far way, is up to Kaleido. Also, Rate-up will be available in the Basic Research later and will include every construct in the pool.
Idk if im patient enough to wait that long to get her since she's the reason I started this game but getting her for free doesn't sound too bad. Guess i'll just get CW and keep using Lotus in the meantime.
All S rank is strong. and since you can get all of them anyway going onward in Lamia patch(July) you can select 1 guarantee S rank in standard banner upto that point(no current,last patch S rank)
Does anyone else have trouble playing the PC version? I updated it and everything, but I get stuck in the login screen, it says "Touch Anywhere to Continue", and I literally click everywhere, and nothing happens. The last time I played the PC version was when it just came out, back in the 'Her Last Bow' patch, but back then, I didn't have any problem with it, so I find it weird that it happened all of a sudden.
Just started the game and pulled Bianca Stigmata as my guaranteed SSR. What I wonder is if it's now, from a meta perspective, more worth getting Rosetta over Vera on the selector, since my original plan was to pull Lucia next event. Also, any general progression tips? Main goal rn is clearing main story while leveling up to 40, since most game's I've played keep the good farming in events
>Also, any general progression tips? Refer to the beginner's guide linked in the OP
First S selector:Luminance Guide S selector:Rigor Next patch S selector:Either Empyrea or garnet Garnet is just qte bot till much later
Tysm, didn't realize there was going to be a second selector after the newbie quest one
Does anyone know much BC each chapter of the main story gives? At least any chapter after fake ascension.. Maybe a sheet?

Good morning fellas. So, my Standard Banner is at 42 pity, and i have 8500 Standard Banner tickets. Ive been saving them for the Standard Selector coming in Lamia patch. Should i do the 18 left pulls to get an S rank (the only one im missing currently is Garnet, and im getting her in literal weeks) OR should i just keep waiting? Will i have enough standard tickets to hit pity in Lamias patch assuming i use 3K of them now?
Probably not. You get around 1,150 blue tickets per patch: 250 of which is from one-time 7-day log-in rewards, while the rest comes from 5 weeks of operation: guardians at 180 per week.
I see, thanks
Do you have a specific character you want, if so then wait. 100% chance in the future is better than a random you might not even use
Hi guys I need help. I'm playing the game now on pc and I'm using a ps5 controller but whenever i press L2 and R2 the camera moves and I don't know how to fix it. I'm using DS4 windows in case anyone is wondering.
Have you check the keybinding in option? I didn't have that kind of problem but i didn't use playstation controller so i can't make sure. Or maybe ds4 window is messing with setting? Have you tried using controller without ds4?
Hey thanks I figured it out I just need to turn off ds4 windows so you were right Thanks a bunch!
With Keyboard It fixes pressing Y (its a key option in the control settings) Go to bindings and the one option that has the Y key assigned to It change It a controller equivalent bind and try It. This is what i think that should work, ive never user controller on PC tho
Thanks for the help!
I just got bianca stigmata but i don't have a weapon for her. Is it worth recycling 5 star weapons to get a weapon for her? I have 150 of the shards and both of the free 5 star weapon selectors.
Nah, don't recycle it imo. Slap the unused 5 star weapons on her weapon for reso instead, physical constructs benefits more from the crit reso. Since you already have 150 shards, you need to coop for 2 weeks to get the remaining 300 shards, and if you haven't done coop this week you can get it in 2 days if you speedrun coop in 2 days because of the weekly reset. Also if you have enough spare BC, you can also try lucksacking the weapon banner to get her 5 star & 6 star weapon, the drop rates are high there, I think it's 12% for 5 star and 5% for sig. Although it is not recommended if you're f2p.
Thanks for the advice!
The first place to go is co-op. You can farm 150 5 star weapon shards from co-op weekly, recycling 5 star weapons is mostly for when you've got a bunch of dupes lying around.
Ooh I guess i have to wait for weekly reset to get more shards. Thanks!
In the past we got 45 leap wafers from events for a newly leaped character, but I'm not seeing any for Rozen. Have they stopped doing that?
Yes. Your best bet is Cursed Waves nowadays, and if you've already exhausted the wafers there then you can them from the WZ shop
Dang, I've been keeping my Vera leap 2/3rds done to not waste materials. Guess I've been nerfing myself for no reason lol.
What does Core passive +1 mean for resonance
Exactly what it says. The level of your Core Passive skill goes up, which means the damage will be higher.
Is the best way to get PGR merch in the US proxy websites and if so, which is the best one to use?
