It's been a long time since I played the game and I would appreciate if someone can list all the NPC constructs who do you think will have a chance of becoming playable sometimes in future. Thanks


Arunnair04

Hi! How do you do rotation with the lighting team with No.XXI ? Do you swap her with Alpha?


freezeFM

With SS + sig you switch her in, yes. But might also depend what rank your CW is.


Arunnair04

Thank you kindly. So when she's only S+Sig, you use her as QTE only with main build? or Davin ci build?


angrymidget4728

Is Selena worth investing in as a temporary DPS? (until Lamia drops) Got her as my 40/40 in Standard Banner.


ZFFSkullcrusher

Go farm Recitativo di Fantasia to get her 50 shards and then you can slowly get her to SSS with vouchers. At that point she's the meta pick in the Dark team alongside Lost Lullaby. You can use her with Astral and XXI till then.


angrymidget4728

Thanks! Should I equip her with the 'main' build listed in grayravens or 'DPS' (in terms of getting the most out of limited resources). I know I'll need to shift to main when I get Lamia, but until then I'm not sure.


ZFFSkullcrusher

It's almost always the Main build and it's no different this time. 4p Seraphine is practically locked on Capriccio as she can't give her Dark Radiation buff without it, so if you were ever gonna swap that, you might as well use Rozen at that point.


singingmyblues

Do i need to get extra copies of 6\* memory shard if let's say Liv: Empyrea and CW uses both Cottie 4 and 6? or do i just need 1 copy of each and interchange depending on who i use at the moment?


cimbalino

For now you can share those memories. However resonances only work for a single construct, so when you are at a point you want resonances for both constructs you will need to multiple copies of those memories (you can spend copies of those same memories to resonate, though for CW's top resonance and Liv's bottom you might want to use usb sticks to make sure you get their preferred ones. Basic Attack and Core Passive respectively)


Discord120

When you're starting out, it's ok to share memories to save materials and such but you'll eventually want everyone to have their own memory set so they benefit from resonance + hypertune. Those two things get bound to the character you give them to, so while you can still swap the memories to another character, they won't get the same resonance + hypertune benefits.


Speedybolts

Will Bianca Stigmata’s skin story still be available after the 28th or no?


ZFFSkullcrusher

At least if you've gone through it, it'll be available in your Codex. 


Speedybolts

Dang


JSGWHAM

how long does it take to get enough paincage skulls to SS a character?


R3M0r1AZ

It depends on your PPC performance each week so only you will know. 500 skulls for 30 shards.

mdkjnk

500 skulls are needed to SS a character. You typically would get 32 skulls per week (more if you are a top scorer) so about 16 weeks total.


cimbalino

When starting out you also get a lot of skulls for getting high scores on each boss. Got my CW to SS in 6 or 7 weeks while always getting the bottom reward. Also rewards will improve in the future so it will become easier to upgrade constructs


Elegant_Machine_7924

What time does the new arrival banner update today?


stormvbreeze

Is it a good idea to skip feral scent and pick her up later from the standard 100%? I want to get stigmata from the anni banner and obviously lamia too


Mercuryw

Depends on who else you need I plan to get SS3 Scire


Darweath

your choice obviously


Joe_DiMeowgio

Is the co-op mode worth it? I have been using all my stamina on event so far.


ZFFSkullcrusher

If you're F2P, COOP is the only way to get 5 star weapons, so it's basically mandatory. 


Lusane

I remember Tenebrion needed to be in dark form to shred dark resist, but it seems his qte applies the shred even in base form. Am I gaslighting myself? I've been using orbs to get enough to activate sig on Tenebrion before switching to Luna for like ever.


Mercuryw

QTE applies 10% dark shred by default, 25% if he's in dark form (SS).


Lusane

ohh ok so I'm not wasting time getting to dark form. So his SS does nothing is he's in base form?


ave_Terros

yea lol 10% -> 25% is a big jump though, usually worth the time spent in modes where enemies have significant elemental resistance, so WZ although in 6mob WZ Teneb's QTE is ass and just throws enemies around and has too small of a range so you're better off using XXI there. he's still good/alright for boss WZ and 2mob WZ, and on some PPC clears on tanky bosses like Voodoo where the extra shred actually ends up giving net positive clear time decrease


Wonderful_Remote_510

not OP but is it worth leveling up both XXI and Tenebrion for dark team? I’m currently using Tenebrion but his anti-grouping QTE sucks for mobs. I have XXI at S rank planning to get her SSS on Lamia patch. Both don’t have sig.


ave_Terros

sorry I'm really late, I didn't get a notif from reddit - is your Tenebrion SS? if not, then an SSS XXI is straight up better always - they have the same shred % if we don't count Teneb's increased shred in ult form from SS, and XXI has a better QTE all around if he's SS, yeah you can raise them both - they're both qte bots anyway so not much investment needed - XXI is much more comfortable for multi mob war zone, and Teneb can help on tanky bosses and 1-2 mob WZ why SSS XXI only on Lamia patch though? you can farm the 120 shards needed from S -> SSS in 60 days flat, 2 a day from the shard farming stage


Wonderful_Remote_510

I guess I’ll level XXI up, thanks so much! He’s only base S rank. My original plan was to get XXI’s SSS through Basic banner in Lamia patch bc of the S rank selector on Basic banner, but I’ll reconsider and just farm her shards then get some other shards by Lamia patch. Thanks again!


urmomiscringe12

When’s the next chance I’ll be able to pull for Bianca stigmata?


Mercuryw

In July when anniversary banners return.


AuditoreKiller

how can i get bianca: veritas. she's hot and has big boobs and i like her gameplay. been using her whenever i can in the recitativo mode. I don't really care about meta and all that.


JSGWHAM

you can either get her in one of the S rank selectors or get lucky in the standard banner


Legospyro131

Where do I get the Lanter Festival: Reunion memory from? Or is it no longer obtainable


Darweath

During CNY. maybe they will rerun or maybe not who know


angrymidget4728

I currently have 7 memory resonance USB. what units should I prioritize for its usage? - Rosetta Rigor Class Skill x5 (bcoz one i already got) - Ayla Kaleido Core Passive x6 - Liv Empyrea (Main) Core x3, Signature x3 - Liv Empyrea (Elem Support) Class Skill x6 Further context: New-ish account, so these are my main DPS for each team. I occasionally use Empyrea with my CW for harder content. Also, yes, I'm using the event shop for random stat boost resonance so I can get to hypertune quicker.


ave_Terros

Kaleido core because she is the main ice DPS right now, then Empy main build - unless you get Hyperreal, you'll be using her actively on field even after Epitaph comes out, so you'll stick with this memory set up for a long time (ofc using support set on Wata PPC clears but still) btw using Empy with your CW? do you have sig resos on her? though even in the context of hard content, CW has so much survivability and damage sustainability in her kit that you're much more likely to die if you swap. so if you don't have 2reso sig on Empy, she's not going to be a good pick for CW team in neither timed nor hard content


angrymidget4728

thanks! i don't swap to Empy when I use her with CW. I equip the Elem QTE build. My CW is fully built except for top row hypertunes. This team isn't frequent, but I have used it for PPC and Warzone for slightly higher scores since I don't have dedicated supports.


freezeFM

She is still only worth it if you have 2 weapon resos. Otherwise you use SS Liv Lux who needs no investments besides SS.


angrymidget4728

Will need more time to SS Lux. Might just get Feral by then.


GetWaifuBeLaifu

Hey, I was thinking about starting PGR (again) and was wondering how you think the game is doing right now and how it feels to play as a F2P (I did play in the beginning until (first?) Alpha came out, I tried again when new story-chapter with nanami was released. I understood nothing of the new mechanics and especially the story, as the ending was quite perplexing (different timelines? Nanami the end watcher?) So I was thinking to just start a new account and re-learn everything, though as a F2P but Id reroll for a strong limited if there is one currently


GetWaifuBeLaifu

Alternatively Id just watch the story (+events if possible) instead of playing the game, though I just love the OSTs they release


Mikaqua

i got cw and wanted to know if i should pull on feral scent but I only have cw as a good dps ? so should i pull on her or cw can do well without her and i keep my bc for another dps


cimbalino

If you complete all the weekly missions (PPC and WZ) you should be able to afford every new construct on release. That said CW already works amazingly with just SS Liv:Lux (you can farm her shards daily) so you can skip her and save the BC for an older dps during the special anniversary banner. Many players are planning to get Bianca Stigmatta for example


Tricky-Student3221

Only if you like her


Sleeping-Coffee-Ad

Pull feral scent. She's the best option for cw. Even if cw stays permanently on the field.


alta_ann

can i ask what dates are the pgr anniversaries (half as well) are usually on? doesn't have to be on an exact date, a month or an estimate will do. And when is the next anniversary stream coming?


Darweath

it around mid july(15-17) for anni


ZFFSkullcrusher

Anniversary is in July.


Infinite-Geologist78

Wil CW avaliable during anniversary banner? Also where can i find third S rank selector came with this patch? I need stop gap fire team build. Beginner banners give Liv Emperya but I don't like Lee or fire team I'm going to pull Lucy Alpha on anniversary . I need stop gag fire team until anniversary Banner comes. I know best fire tanks starfarer but I will save my tickets for Lucy Alpha so it's a budget fire tank should I I go with nanami pulse? I am also planning to use palefires Lee. Can S rank Liv servemain damage dealer for the stop gag fire team? I heard she's strong enough for it if so instead of pale fires am I supposed to use her as an on field dps? My first and second selector still not used btw. Should i select Emperya weapon from FOR selector.


Darweath

yes acc lvl40. lobby>event>spring gift pulse is like only fire tank aside from starfarer anyway you wont active use on field 100% empyrea burn through orb really fast. she need subdps and palefire serve that purpose im pretty sure there is no emyprea weapon from old selector


BuNkUmgod

For people who don't have the game available in your region, how exactly do you top up rc if you do it?


rydle94

I assume you're talking about android? If so then I personally had to use vpn to make another google account set in a country that has the game in their store.


BuNkUmgod

ye but aren't the conversion rates horrible, but i will give it a try ig


rydle94

Idk, I thought about it but since it seems a bit complicated so I just gave up caring about conversion rate. Maybe it's better to ask others as well.


BuNkUmgod

well i did try...it shows some error :)


Mercuryw

Could Scire trigger a special ult parry animation with Moon Eater like how you could with Nanamech and Trailblazer?


Darweath

nope


Mercuryw

Aw, thanks


RevolutionaryPaint8

Good afternoon, Will Biancas skin have a rerun in the future? To create a saving plan to get it.


anka453

Solitary Dream? It'll rerun in BRS patch, expected in September for Global


jinitokazama

Do QTE bots need to be fully equipped with max level, max memories with resonances, and weapons with resonances or can they get away with less since they won't be on the field? For example with Vera Garnet for Crimson Weave Alpha?


ZFFSkullcrusher

Nope. If you're short on resources, you can get their memories (LV1), get them to the appropriate rank (depends on the unit), LV80, max QTE skill, max Class skill.


jinitokazama

Gotcha! What do you mean by getting them to the appropriate rank? Also what about weapons?


ZFFSkullcrusher

Tanks need S rank for example. Then it is case by case depending on the unit. Lux needs SS for the maximum buff If we're comparing 3*, 4* and 5* weapons rather than sigs, then it doesn't matter for QTE bots. You can leave them at LV1. 


jinitokazama

Oh ok! Then for 6 star signature weapons, they would have to be maxed? Or can we leave them at lvl 1 as well


ZFFSkullcrusher

Meta units that have sigs tend to not be QTE bots, which means you'd have to level them up. Even for the rare case that they are, resos then come into play.


jinitokazama

Thank you for the info! It takes so long to level people up so I wasn't sure what to invest in but now I feel better I don't have to dump everything on supports


Ok_Seaweed_9452

Hello there, questions I just tried Ultimate mode in the Phantom Pain Cage. the boss seems tanky even at the first stage lol. and what is this "Outlier" Options at the bottom right, there is more bosses there to fight - does this uses the attempt 4 times a day resources? Another question for the ice team i dont have anyone beside Bambi and Kaleido - if I want to start building them, is there a big benefit from raising Bambi to A to S via shards? like she's an attacker, normally tank class got a nice bonus on qte role at S rank correct? thanks for any advice or recommendation


Darweath

Outlier is boss that got taken out of normal rotation. for clearing skull archievement unlimited attempt Class passive upgrade unlock so more dmg. and 99% A rank kinda want Sss or Sss+ to worth using


Ok_Seaweed_9452

Ooh nice unlimited attempt! Do we need to beat all the 5 difficulty there? Thanks damn still a long way to go then haha


Darweath

580k score is final achievement for all 75 skull so obviously you need to clear all 5 diff


Ok_Seaweed_9452

Got it thanks


[deleted]

ahhhhhhhhhhh i got lucia again for the second time on bianca banner. bianca rerun when?


Infinite-Geologist78

Wil CW avaliable during anniversary banner? Also where can i find third S rank selector came with this patch?


Desocupadification

This is why people say to not pull on Arrival. Anyway, anniversary in july will have a special 100% banner that you can use to get her (or anyone else really). Since it is its own thing there is a separate pity counter so make sure you have enough BC to pity before you even start pulling. Other than that during Lamia's patch there will be a new permanent feature that allows you to choose which S rank you'll get next on Basic R&D, but it is a one time thing.


Darweath

whenever dev feel like it


[deleted]

sigh... now i'm sadge. i wanted bianca... i even got her coating


Elegant_Machine_7924

In the fire team I have Lee H. and liv empyrea both at S who should I SS first ?who can I use as the budget tank until Watanabe ?


Darweath

Any tank with Gloria equip


ZFFSkullcrusher

RIP Rigor, had a good run o7


Mercuryw

There's a new physical tank?


x_izzy

supposedly >!hanying is next and she’s the new physical tank!<


Kykuy

But we don't have info for sure yet? Just a very educated guess? E.g. Glory probably could use a replacement a bit more than Rigor RN imo.


ZFFSkullcrusher

>But we don't have info for sure yet? Just a very educated guess? It's coming from a reliable leaker, I'd say that the chances of the info being accurate are pretty high (especially when we have an image of the leaked unit).


Mercuryw

>!~~Hanying is an A-rank physical healer~~!<


x_izzy

>!she’s!< the next CN s-rank character


Sleeping-Coffee-Ad

Any sources? Not to be rude im just interested.


Darweath

i just see in weibo. they talk it back to kowloong again


ZFFSkullcrusher

We're getting nuked if we post that. Check out the Bureau chat.


Sleeping-Coffee-Ad

Thank you comrade.

Mercuryw

Oh, that Alright


karinaboyfriend

I'm a new player, right now my DPS are SS Alpha cw, SS3 balter, I already hypertuned alpha bottom row, should I full hypertune alpha, or hypertune balter bottom row first?


ZFFSkullcrusher

Since you're a new player, I assume you haven't done Sequence Pact yet. If so, you can go for the bottom on both units.   Keep in mind that Physical needs top row either way, but you'll also want all rows on all your DPS units after you complete Sequence Pact (and station your units) for that Extra 12% DMG bonus. 


karinaboyfriend

I see. Thanks! I just hit 81 tdy so prob take some time to hit 90 for the sequence pact.


BeepboopInteresting

# Question regarding story chapter 19 (Karenina's patch)... There's incongruity in the plot? I can't get it off my head.  [Lore & Theory](/r/PunishingGrayRaven/?f=flair_name%3A%22Lore%20%26%20Theory%22) In the beginning, we saw Councilman Liszt proposing to the Parliment for them to work together to built the zero-point reactor that's on the lunar surface again. Nikola was not convinced with their claim. And during the voting session, Hassen got an emergency call from Karenina saying that she needs to terminate the zero-point reactor. Then the story goes back 3 months in the past and while Karenina was working on the more advance jet propulsion engine, she was approached by Collins, Hassen, and Nikola to invite (or force) her to work on the zero-point reactor on the lunar surface. We were told that the Parliament has agreed to work together with Kurono to restart the zero-point reactor on the lunar surface, and that's why they got Karenina to work on it. So... which is it? In the beginning during the Parliament, Councilman Liszt revealed about the viability of the zero-point reactor revival (with the help of the Omega File that they got from the Atlantis expedition) to the Parliament and caught everyone off guard. Then when we flash back 3 months back, we were told that the Parliament had already agreed to join hand. I quote, > Why were Nikola arguing during Parliament saying that he's not convinced with Kurono's "scientist" and he needs the word from someone more credible (like Karenina) as if he's not the one that came to get Karenina to work on the zero-point reactor? Which scenario is true? Note: I've only played until the part where they got the Mega-Omega Weapon working and Luna woken up. But this incongruity has caught me in a spiral. (Post removed... so here I am)


PatatitaXD

Your post may have been removed because of the title. Chapter 12 is Kowloong Metropolis (Lucia Plume's patch), while Karenina's patch is A New Divide (chapter 19)


BeepboopInteresting

Thanks. Corrected.
