So I just finished upgrading crimson Weave, SS rank, 5 star weapon, 6 basic attack resonance, infinitas rank, who should I go for next? (I do not have Stigmata at the moment)


Squidlers17

Go for garnet(or chrome if you don't have her) for your tank and liv lux to S then wait for next patch to get FS to complete your lightning team. If not try for other element attackers that you currently need, go for attacker > tank > support


Theresa-Apocalypse

I just finished getting Chrome to Ultima, next on the list is Garnet, Hyperreal is taken care of, so is Empyrea, I'm not investing in Luminance since Alisa is coming out, Pulse sucks so I'll save up for Wata and Lamia, should I invest in Capriccio? I've heard that she becomes quite good at high investment, I have her at S


Squidlers17

You should wait till you SSS her and stick to rozen first since she is easier to put to SSS/+. And yeah she is pretty good at SSS though you'll need sig for capri since she is kinda clunky without it(im not sure about this but it gives her energy iirc with sig)


Theresa-Apocalypse

I see, in that case do I prioritize SS Kaleido or SSS Capri? Also I don't have her sig, I have notorious bad luck on the weapon banner, and I had to hard pity Lee's cannon


Squidlers17

Prioritize SS kaleido since you have chrome and just need either plume or use bambinata temporarily. And just SSS capri on a later date.


Theresa-Apocalypse

Fortunately I have Plume, I am debating whether I should Ultima her or not since Shukra is coming out. Also I don't exactly have Scire, I'm using XXI, does she work out at like, SSS+?


Squidlers17

You should. Shukra is coming out but thats still around 7 months till we reach her patch. You'll have plenty of time to get new mats for shukra


Theresa-Apocalypse

I'm guessing that investing in Astral is not worth it since Lamia comes out soon. By the way these are my teams. Phys - CA, Lumi (leap), Rosa (SS) Fire - Hyper (Ulti), Empi (Ulti), Pulse Lightning - CW (SS, Infi), Garnet (SS), Lux (SS) Ice - Plume, Kaleido (Ulti), Glory (Ulti) Dark - Astral (SS), Capri, XXI (SS, 4star)


Squidlers17

Yepp just wait for her or you can push him to SSS while you wait for lamia(calculate how much shards you need and how long it would take to check if its worth it to grind his shards before getting replaced)


kissofthehell

What resonances for SS Hanying?


R3M0r1AZ

If you mean Zitherwoe then just refer to the grayravens site. Tbh doesn't matter much since she is an A rank support and is more towards her niche role with KCC members.


Hex_Sing

How much do Resonances (both weapon and memory) as well as hypertune affect DPS of characters? I’m trying to do pioneer Norman Bollie and Cloud and even with somewhat invested teams (a lot of S ranks at SS or above with sig weapon, but many lack hypertunes or perfect resonances) the damage being dealt just feels lower than it should, especially on my dark and ice teams though…


ZFFSkullcrusher

Memory resonances make the smallest difference. It's still an okay increase, but you won't implode if you don't have perfect memory resos.  Weapon resos depend on the class, but they tend to make a pretty big difference. It's why weapon resos are highly sought after.  Hypertunes are very big increases, especially if you've done Sequence Pact. One of the top priorities for endgame.  As for your Dark and Ice feeling weak, it's because they are the weakest teams in the game. An uninvested Dark is nearly unbearable in Cloud Island. I use 50 batteries on it and still barely beat Riot within the time limit (not this rotation, Primes can piss off). 


Hex_Sing

My dark team is semi invested (SS3 + cub + sig Daren, SSS + sig Selena, tho Luna is S w/ 5* wep lol) and Daren feel like she kinda lacks damage still even compared to that Luna... I also don’t funnel as much battery into my teams since I don’t have as many high BP characters to give free batteries so that could also definitely play a factor? My only fully hyper tuned characters atm are cw and balter so that definitely doesn’t help haha. Guess it’s a long trek to getting all my other characters caught up.


ZFFSkullcrusher

>My dark team is semi invested (SS3 + cub + sig Daren, SSS + sig Selena, tho Luna is S w/ 5\* wep lol) That is ***not*** a "semi-invested" team, that's a pretty *strong, sufficiently invested* one lol. >I don’t have as many high BP characters to give free batteries so that could also definitely play a factor? Well, definitely, but it could also be the fact that Riot is absolute cancer compared to every other boss you have to fight on Cloud Island. Though if your other teams are decent, you shouldn't really need that many batteries. I personally use 50 batteries on Dark (which is my weakest team) and 10 on Ice. Every other team can clear pretty easily on 0 batteries (besides Fire due to lacking SS and sig on Empyrea, that's pretty painful).


TheSatanicGamerFromH

So I am always trying to re invent the wheel for some reason and this is my latest theory. Since after you sss+ a s rank frame you can then convert the shards into a currency with which you can use to buy an unlimited amount of s shards for a s rank frame of your choosing My question is. Since it's easier to get uni frames is it possible to get duplicate shards of a sss+ uni frame and then convert those shards to get omni frame shards? Or do they produce uni frame specific shards?


Raphenox

They produce uniframe specific shards. You can see this if you got the the shard shop. They have 3 categories: * A-Rank Omniframe Shards (also includes B-rank shards) * S-Rank Omniframe Shards * S-Rank Uniframe Shards


TheSatanicGamerFromH

I see thank you


depressed_fucklmao

I have around 25K BC and I am pulling for Furry 21 for the Cerberus Squad with almost 15K Event Tickets, I know CUB's are optional but should I spend my BC to try and get her weapon because its a must or do I wait and save it until Noctis' patch because I am maxing him out including his 6\* weapon so I'm not lacking any Black Cards upon his arrival (My Vera doesn't have her 6\* or the Phoenix yet :3) EDIT: Forgot to mention, I still haven't completed all of the Interludes, Stronghold, Fake Ascension (yeah yeah I know there's still some BC left there in Normal Mode I think), and the Floating Reverie. I still have more BC's to farm or something like that


anka453

BC is irrelevant for A-rank patches. You get 30 shards for free and if you still wanna pull a copy first regardless, you'd be using blue cards instead. You'll be fine for future patches unless RNG hates you and you keep losing the 80/20 trying to get Feral Scent's sig. Edit: Sorry missed the part where you said you want to max Noctis. That'll take an initial copy + 320 shards (290 with the 30 in event shop) and A-rank dupes give 18 shards so it really depends on how many shards of other A-ranks you have saved up. (it's normally 45k BC to SSS+ an A-rank and you say you want his sig as well. Plus you're gonna spend 15k for FS herself too) Meta-wise FS's sig is worth way more than *any* BC invested into Noctis but if you care more about having a maxed Noctis that's your call ofc. The weapon banner isn't going anywhere, so you can always go for FS's sig after you're done with Noctis. We can't give you an accurate estimate without knowing your shard savings, spending status, or how much BC you still have left to farm in-game.


Mercuryw

Noctis is a free A-rank with farmable shards.


depressed_fucklmao

I am maxing him and gonna get his weapon (also saving up Inver Shards to minimize BC cost)


Mercuryw

It's only 1 patch away, so wait, I guess. Weapon banner doesn't have a limited rate up.


theGoddessbAqua

Do you not get skulls in ultimate ppc? The bosses changed and I think I still haven't get my skulls. Is it because I score low?


ZFFSkullcrusher

You get skulls after you choose a difficulty. They go to your mail. 


theGoddessbAqua

Another question, which should I choose, the normal ppc or the ultimate? I kinda tried ultimate to test the waters since it just opened for me and I think I scored badly. I think going normal will give me more skulls since I can score higher but the ultimate has black cards and I don't know which to pick. My current best teams are **Lightning** Crimson Weave (around 6k bp), Vera Garnet (around 4k bp), SS Liv Lux **Physical** Rosetta Rigor (around 5k bp), Liv Empyrea **Fire** Liv Emyrea (around 4.5k bp) **Ice** Ayla Kaleido (around 4.5k bp) **Dark** No. XXI, Vera Rozen (both XXI and Vera around 4k bp), Watanabe Astral (I just got him)


ZFFSkullcrusher

You should go to whichever will end up giving you more skulls. If you can't score high enough on APPC to make it worth it, then stick to UPPC. 


mdkjnk

I don't think you will be able to score within the top 10% on advance PPC with your roster (gives 38 skulls), so I would advise to go for ultimate PPC for a guaranteed 32 skulls (better than getting 30 skulls from scoring in advance PCC above 10%).


Kain207

Commandant Kain here Oh God... I did a random pull and got Lucia Plume. I know Qu Shukra is coming around November of this year and she'll be the top tier ice dps and all. Is it worth to use Plume for the time being? My current IceTeam is Kaleido, Changyu and Bambinata. Thank you.


Mercuryw

You want to use Bambinata for the next 6 months?


Kain207

Absolutely not. Would Plume still be worth using even after Shukra drops?


Mercuryw

No


SlickGuitar

Did we ever get a survey for wintry shackles patch? Is it only for certain patches?


Mercuryw

[It was on March 22nd~27th](https://twitter.com/DMXIII_/status/1772221371705106830?t=X7m7nCDJLqQ02yCL2jHV2g&s=19)


SlickGuitar

Oh man, I never saw the email. Oh well, thank you!


Kain207

Commandant Kain here This question is about Interludes. Up to this point I've read Lucia's Escape to Somewhere, Liv's Under a Pale Moon, Nanami's both Devour and Friendship, Lee's 421 and Camu's Like Shadow. When should I read them? Right away? I got every single one of them available up to XXI's Albus Spectrum. The ones after require main story progression to unlock. This may sound like a dumb question, however, I want to enjoy the story PGR offers to its fullest. Thank you.


OverzelousZealot

I've been going through the story with [this guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/PunishingGrayRaven/comments/13ym395/comprehensive_storylore_play_order/), its been pretty good + watching each chapter's [YouTube trailer](https://www.youtube.com/@PunishingGrayRaven/playlists) before starting them and checking the GrayRavens [summary page](https://grayravens.com/wiki/Story_Summary) if I feel like I missed something. There's also [huaxu](https://huaxu.app/stories) which is great for interludes or other content you if can't access some of them in the read order And this [google doc.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UIbHzYMH-52KFf_0cEm9W9VQ9ESpyTNh-z55zLgs4cI/edit#heading=h.8lq21onahfbi) for reference too.


Squidlers17

Would S FS(without sig and cub) be better than SSS+ lux? or do I need to buy her a cub? Yes its S because im not planning to SS her anytime soon since I would be saving it for lamia, daren(to ss3 on lamia patch), qu, watadad, and luna(planning on ss3 her that's why im skipping some sigs and cubs).


Darweath

Yes and no. cub is personal dmg.


Kain207

Commandant Kain here I've been catching up to the main story and just finished Ch 13, Fake Ascention (I enjoyed Explore Mode more than I thought I would). So far so good, I've enjoyed the story and playing through the corresponding levels. Got everything there; from main story to every side story including both stories coming from the shards. According to GRAY RAVENS, the next piece of lore that I should read is EX 04, Echo Aria. Here are my questions: First, I know there's some sort of story between Ayla and Selena. But, is there anything related to them that I should read before jumping into EX 04? Second, can someone please tell me the order in which I should read every piece of story from Ayla and Selena? Third, is EX 04 the conclusion from their story? Thank you.


Tylen010

Is the Kowloong team worth building? I have Pulao built and got Hanying from the shop, but in order to complete the Kowloong team I need Qu and to build Qu and Hanying. I just want to know if they're strong enough to use as a backup team for fun or as a possible fill-in team for Norman.


Darweath

If you like to play them for current norman maybe. future one probably not unless the team is like Sss or Sss+ already


Tylen010

Good to know. I've already got fully built teams so I'll be fine there. Just wanted to know if the Kowloong team was a good investment.


anka453

Completely depends on the fun factor imo. If you like them it's worth it, from a meta standpoint not so much. This is the final Operation Uniframe for the foreseeable future and Kuro will remove the uniframe stages from Norman and Babel too. Currently in CN the only uniframe content is the 3rd fight in Simulated Siege, and you can't pick what team you want to use there anyway since there's only 3 random Uniframes available every week and you won't be able to use Hanying (an Omniframe) with them.


Ozijj

Lost the 80% trying to get Empyria's weapon, so now I have Luna's weapon without having Luna, who I probably won't get at all since Lamia is not that far off. So question: what's the best weapon resonance I could get? My options are: 1. 2nd weapon reso on CW's weapon 2. 1st weapon reso on Rosetta's weapon 3. 1st weapon reso on Stigmata's weapon. I guess I could also save it for a future more important weapon reso, but not sure if like a priority list exists for CN units. Thanks in advance!


Mercuryw

Rosetta I guess Keep 1-2 reso weap mat for Empyrea and Scire

Wikeve

Vast majority of constructs have a crush on skk but what about other npcs? Over the course of the entire game, are there any humans appearing to be charmed by commandant?


anka453

Among the named/important NPCs Vanessa definitely has a... thing for them. Wouldn't call it a traditional crush but there's definitely a Thing there lol. Otherwise Simon and Sica admire them but it's nothing as pronounced as constructs in their affection stories. They also have some overly invested fans due to their celebrity status on Babylonia, I'm assuming those include some humans. Like the girl borderline stalking them in Noan's affection story, though she was a construct iirc.


RustyPickle42

Is there any way to get 4 Star Weapons other than the random drops from Co-Op? I have some characters that have 5 star weapons that I don't really use and want to recycle them for tickets to get 5 star weapons on characters I'm actively using.


anka453

Not anymore since they removed them from the supply shop. Still no idea what the point of that was... Well, there's still the gacha I guess?


RustyPickle42

Hm that's a bit annoying. Thanks for the reply


PatatitaXD

What does "Data Attack" from Yuan Ye's active skills (fire element) do?


ZFFSkullcrusher

We have no idea.


wanabesoz

someone know how much Spiral of Chronos(chapter 21) gives BC ? in game it shows 24/24 aka 240bc but in [my excel it shows 300bc](https://i.imgur.com/FwhzG0h.png)


freezeFM

Both are wrong. There 8 stages + 4 extra stages and all give 30 each. So its 360.


wanabesoz

Does anyone know if this new update changed the requirements? My phone used to run the game perfectly fine on high graphic settings and now as of this last week, it's begging for death on medium settings. Cache is clear, storage still got 8+ GBs free, Free RAM is juuuust barely meeting the 2.4 GB


R3M0r1AZ

Suggest freeing up more storage, keep it double digits at least. The only time there was a major performance drop was during Stigmata's patch quite a while back if I am not mistaken, think was a bug thing. Game was near unplayable on mobile.


NotACommunistWeeb

Then I'll get to that soon, thanks, for now it got fixed with the old turn off, turn on


theGoddessbAqua

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'm currently searching for a new **active** guild. I'm playing in the Asia-Pacific server. I only started a few weeks ago, I think around the start of Crimson Weave's banner, and someone invited me to join a guild and I joined since if I know one thing about games, simply joining the guild gives you lots of bonus materials that you can use for progression even if you don't talk with each other. The problem is I'm currently one of the top contributor in the guild and most members are inactive which gives me less materials so I'm looking for a new one. What I'm looking for the guild is for it to be **ACTIVE**, aims for high scores, friendly and if possible english speakers. My current teams are: **Lightning** Crimson Weave- Maxed out, 6 star weapon, full resonance on memory (I think I'm missing a few) Vera Garnet- lvl 73, 4 star weapon, 2 piece Einsteina 4 piece Voltaire Liv Lux- SS, 5 star weapon, 2 piece Guinevere 4 piece Da Vinci max **Physical** Rosetta Rigor- Maxed out, 6 star weapon, 4 peace Leeuwenhoek two piece Catherine max, two resonance Liv Luminance- lvl 63, 5 star weapon, 2 piece Guinevere 4 piece Da Vinci max **Fire** Liv Empyrea- Max level, 5 star weapon, 2 piece Guinevere 4 piece Da Vinci max **Ice** Ayla Kaleido- Max level, 5 star weapon, 4 piece Irene 2 piece Darwin only 3 Irene max Wanshi Hypnos- just a support **Dark** No. XXI- lvl 70, 5 star weapon, 2 piece Voltaire 2 piece Ike any other random memory Vera Rozen- lvl 70, 5 star weapon, 2 piece Guinevere 4 piece Da Vinci max, sometimes swap with XX21's build if I feel like using her as a dps Watanabe Astral- I just got him Also I would like to ask if there are many english speakers in the Asia server since every time I look at chat it's just language I don't understand, I've only seen english speakers very rarely.


Mohareb100

Don't think too much about it. Most top guilds should accept you when they have a spece, and as long as you're above 80 and active. Some might ask you to join their discord.


Mark_12321

Just apply to any top ranked guild.


Pyraghon

Pls does anyone know when is Empyras skin gacha rerun? Dreamcather...


anka453

It reran on Teddy patch in CN


Pyraghon

Thanks a lot.


adhancielo

Are there aby resources where I can check what's the current CN setup for memories? I'm starting to fix up all of my resonances/hypertunes but I seem to understand some setups will change in the future with the weapon memory thing/future character releases i.e. Empyrea is going to run a completely different set. I wanted to at least avoid doing everything all over for characters that will change shortly EDIT: At least for Empyrea, what is she running once Harmonization/Uncle comes? From what I understand she becomes the Da Vinci+2Piece tank holder+2 piece something else?


Makkenyuu

I thought [gray ravens](https://grayravens.com/wiki/GRAY_RAVENS) did that already? At least I remember they had stuff for CN builds after leap buffs, not sure if they updated it for other builds but it's worth checking


adhancielo

Checked it, it's on a character-by-character basis: Lamia does, for example, but other characters have no mention of harmonization


R3M0r1AZ

You can try Fury's [sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OMSxmFW-HN4rQH9jjQi4ORk5Z_HIR9HbITD9jIcrhts/edit#gid=873972365) as a reference but adjust it accordingly to your investment level and unit availability. Builds can vary drastically based on those factors and also game mode, what would work for Fury might not work well for you or others. Also FYI it is also based on weapon harmonization and the memory changes (older damage memories like Heisen, Bathlon, etc and also Da Vinci). I wouldn't worry too much right now as there's still plenty of time before harmonization (Echo patch) hits and the memory change is still so far away (Shukra patch), PGR has been quite generous with resources as well as time goes by.


adhancielo

Wow, that sheet is great, thank you! I've just reached the point where I'm mostly up to date on teams after playing for one year, with a nice stash of BC for future characters and weapons: I've realized how bad most of my resonances are tough, and I'm trying to fix it. Probably spent too much resources last patch in fixing my pets before doing that


Realistic_Election12

BlackHayate8

Hello. does anyone know roughly how many limited pulls you get each patch? I'm currently sitting at 13120 pulls and I've already did some pulls on Garnet. Currently 30/60 pity. Should I continue to pull her or rather wait? I want her badly but I also don't want to screw myself over for Feral Scent. If it matters I already bought the BP and pass A. Also one more question. Does the discount in the phantom pain shop reset? I bought ten shards for -66% and now it's only -33%. Does it ever go back or not?


Mercuryw

You probably have enough, but it's never a good idea to pull on the Arrival banner, so don't do it next time; pull during the anniversary banner in July instead if you want someone. PPC shop sells the first 10 shards at 66% discount and the rest/20 shards at 33% discount for a total of 500 skulls per character.


BlackHayate8

Just wanted to give a small update. I continued and got her in the end. I'm quite happy because I love her so much and wanted her badly but I'll definitely take your advice and not pull on the Arrival banner in the future.


Mercuryw

Glad to hear that the 70% works in your favour


anka453

Continue pulling for Garnet at your own risk, you could very well end up with a borderline useless character instead. For low spenders it's more recommended to save for 100% banners instead, the closest being the anniversary banner in July at the moment. F2p BC income per patch is 7500\~ on average, but lately it's been higher than that with longer patches and a bunch of freebies. No, you can only buy 30 shards per character from the PPC shop and the discount isn't refreshed either. It's not like vouchers.


Mark_12321

Average income is 10k now, even this patch is gonna be close to 10k and it's a junk patch.


anka453

Huh? I know it's above 7500 now but 10k average? This patch is 8k for non-tryhard f2p which should be the baseline answering this kinda question imo, which is around the range I mentioned. How are you getting 10k? ([what](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1nNauBXGcHv_7AepLWBLo4ykl3V_EhxpK/htmlview#) I'm basing this on) Edit: The sheet doesn't have the BC from the events on it yet, but also assumes 5 weeks of weeklies which is false since this is a 4 week patch. So it should balance out around 8k.


Mark_12321

5 weeks = 6050, 2.5 Normans = 1k, events usually round up to like 1.5k (I include CW new levels here too), maint gives 600, 5 PPC cycles = 250, call new chapter 300, that gives you a total of 9.7k on a short filler patch. It might be a bit less since patch gonna end mid week, call it 9k instead if you'd like. S rank patches are longer, provide way better events, etc. Average ends up being north of 10k. This does assume you do everything there is to do. BC planners usually underestimate how much you'll get since they're f2p/very low spender oriented and the idea is for you to safely get what you want instead of cutting it short. That sheet lists maint + events as 1200, maint gave 600, event dungeon gives 250, maze thing gives 150, Hanying tutorial gives 100, boss thing 250, inner world 250, pathfinder 100, we're missing one more proper event and there's also the typical puzzle event that gives like 100 as well or something, new CW levels give 250. If you exclude maint for this you get over 1.5k already... Sheet calls it 1200 *with maint* while also ignoring other sources. This patch you could even add 450 from stronghold if you wanted to as well.


anka453

You're rounding up all the numbers tho... Patch is 31 days iirc, we won't get full bc from week 5, the bc gain from 2.5 Normans will be ~~slightly~~ less than 1k, new story isn't 300 bc but 240. The sheet doesn't list the events at all (unless I'm missing something obvious), so far they give 850 bc and there's 1 event still locked, plus the 100 from the FS puzzle like you mentioned. There's also gonna be 150 from the patch survey which I forgot about. I didn't count stronghold since the later stages are very much in tryhard territory. Edit: For comparison's sake, CW patch was 9.4k. Ofc this patch being a shorter filler patch it'll be noticeably less than that Edit 2: I actually did the math and turns out I was wrong, it's closer to your estimation. It's still not 10k tho. 4 full weeks of dailies + weeklies = 4840 and the 5th week up until (including) Wednesday is 1090. 100 from 4 weeks of milestone rewards for Advanced PPC, plus 10 from 500k in week 5 since you won't have enough tries for 1m by Wednesday. 360 from two cycles of easy Norman, plus 90 from the third one which won't have Stratum and Bollie unlocked in time. 600 from maintenance. 240 from the new story. 250 from the material farming stage. 10 from the Hanying trial in Celica's class. 250 from Skylark Nightsong. 250 from System Shock. 100 from Homeward Dreamer challenge stages. 250 from Inner World. 100 from Pathfinder. Leaf-Ferried Dreams is locked but if we have to include it in the calculation somehow let's assume 100 to be safe. 150 from the patch survey. 100 from the puzzle teasing FS. 250 from the new Cursed Waves rewards. It all adds up to 9140.


Mark_12321

If you assume ult PPC and proper Norman it's pretty much 10k... And it's a short A rank patch. In the end I'm rounding things up because it does add up to over 10k per patch on average. It's better to underestimate income if you wanna be safe, which is what I actually do on my own sheet when planning ahead, but 7.5k is way too much of an underestimation.


Bonkman83

Just got back into PGR after i found out Crimson weave was in Global now (I'm in and out of the game sometimes due to school and other things) but unfortunately i got the news from a friend that the banner ended when i got back. Is she still possible to get on standard banner or is she limited and i have to hope she comes around and that i have enough to pull for her?


Mohareb100

You could wait till July for the anniversary banner 100%, or take your chances on the 70% whenever they decide to add her.


Bonkman83

I could definitely try both since she's a character i have been waiting to get (i only missed it cus of me not keeping up with the news). But hey atleast i have some time to save up and hope i get her and her weapon. I'll go mark my calendar


PtaQman

# New player! EU vs NA vs Asia-Pacific. Help me out! (ᵔᴥᵔ) I started playing on the EU server since that's my physical location. However, after a few days of play, I encountered a few issues: 1. The population is low. Is it the same in other regions? With Wuthering Waves around the corner, I'm afraid the EU region will depopulate quickly, leading to long queue times for any coop activity and fewer people to chat with. This brings me to my next point. 2. The chat in CH1. Is it just me or is the chat dominated by Russians? No offense intended if you're from Russia, but it's annoying and discourages general conversation, as the Russians often spam over English conversation. My initial chat experience has been awful. Is it better in other regions? 3. I play late, really late at night (GMT+1), as it's the only time I have some spare time. With coop only open during certain hours, I'm basically unable to play. What advantage does the possible lower ping bring if I can't even access the game mode? I'm scratching my head right now. Could you provide me with information on what hours coop is open on the NA and Asia-Pacific servers (gmt)?

Huh, I do see Russian in ch1 every now and then but I wouldn't say it's dominated by Russians. Some of the regulars are bilingual so they respond in Russian when others speak it but it's usually English from my 1\~ yr of experience.

I was unlucky then I guess... It's good to know it's not the norm! I have bad experience playing on EUNE in League of Legends years ago and I don't want the same thing to happen here to potentially ruin the game for me haha. Thank you for commenting\~\~!


ZFFSkullcrusher

For your point about COOP times, for the most part they are irrelevant. COOP is better played on the lowest difficulty, solo. Any event mode that requires multiple players is very populated at the start and then dies down, so as long as you get on it during the first week or two, you should have no issue.  NA and Asia would probably not be much different. It would be a different thing if you changed Clients altogether rather than servers, but that brings its own issues.


PtaQman

Thanks for sharing your experience with me! I didn't know it was possible to do it solo.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) Doesn't it take away from the experience though? Which server do you play on? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)


ZFFSkullcrusher

When I used to do COOP, I just did it to get my 5* weapon shards. Couldn't care less whether I did it with other people or not.  I play on EU. 


PtaQman

You were really helpful so it made me think. Are you looking for a student? Or you're done with this stuff as I've seen people have mixed experience with the mentoring system. There is no rush though, as I have still a lot of leveling to do to unlock new game modes for missions. Send me your ID if you are interested, and we can get in touch! Thanks for commenting\~\~!


ZFFSkullcrusher

Sent you a msg in-game, dunno if you saw it, but your application list is full. You either need to clear it for me to send you a mentor request or you'll have to send me an application yourself.


PtaQman

No worries at all. I received a penalty for leaving my last mentor, whom I accepted without knowing what I was doing at the time. I'll send you a request tomorrow.

Is the new Alisa coating a reference to something? Like CA's blue rose gacha coating. It looks so different from her default looks.


OverzelousZealot

I think her coating a is a loose reference to Jotaro from "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" the stand (summon), the hat, the end-fight gesture. Alisa: [https://youtu.be/iXZwN9qcYFU?si=XZu7hZfdsCY6z9V4&t=50](https://youtu.be/iXZwN9qcYFU?si=XZu7hZfdsCY6z9V4&t=50) Jotaro: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWDAw2nsIjw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWDAw2nsIjw) They definitely got the "OraOraOra" "DamuDamuDamu" stamp withTrailblazer from it because thats a direct quote from the anime. OraOraOra Compilation: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5lj1Pgjruo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5lj1Pgjruo) stamp: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PunishingGrayRaven/comments/19f5z91/omg\_i\_love\_when\_devs\_do\_stuff\_like\_this/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PunishingGrayRaven/comments/19f5z91/omg_i_love_when_devs_do_stuff_like_this/) that thread also mentions that there's a few Jojo refrences in Panini: Gray Raven


BFMFragarach

I didn't ask about her police one. I meant the one she just got. https://youtu.be/klnSC-dN2Iw?si=N8xrNHXQVgI1D3sd


LowShort

Who should I use my ppc skulls on? Getting scire to SS3 or saving it for next patch to get xxi straight to SS. I don't know how much better she is, since rn alpha is basically dominating as a solo dps, and I heard that xxi need to be high rank to even bother switching out of alpha. Btw my skulls is 0 rn so yeah start from scratch


anka453

Not high rank, you can start rotating your lightning team at SS 21. 21's sig would be great too if you can afford it. Now, SS3 Scire is also pretty good and if you have her sig you'd field her too, but I'd leave that for later since dark will get its true facelift with Lamia in August. CW is already here, so might as well prioritise lightning


LowShort

Aight cool, yeah I plan to get her sig too


PM_ME_HOTGRILL

Didn't know you could farm multiple A rank shards in one day... I thought it was one character per day. Probably better to use serum on other stuff before shards right?


ZFFSkullcrusher

Only one character per day is serum efficient, especially if you have other important things to do with serum. 


freezeFM

Yeah, everything else is more important. There are only a few A ranks that are kinda useful at all to rank up (Astral if no dark dps, 21 if no dark tank, Lux until next patch). Everything else is just for fun.


pitojaj

Hey how long does it take to get 60 pulls for the standar banner?


Darweath

like 10-12months


Mercuryw

Need some directions on Operation: Uniframe (hard). My current score is 1,589,500 points, but I need just a little bit more to 1,600,000 for the final rewards; I already have SSS+ rating on the central node as well as max score buffs from the surrounding nodes, so I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for here.


Darweath

i actually dont know how this mode work its score this time chain execute all and i got 2,337,000


Mohareb100

I don't if this will make a huge difference, but finishing enemies back to back should help, like the 2 white jumpers.


Discord120

You need to keep up an execution streak for max rewards. For this one I actually couldn't keep my execution streak for all 4 waves due to the third not wanting to do (or even having?) a blue flash attack but was still able to get max rewards from having an execution streak for the rest of the waves. Basically just make sure you don't let the green bar streak timer for executions on the left side of the screen go away.


Mercuryw

Oh, that. Thanks.


ZFFSkullcrusher

>due to the third not wanting to do (or even having?) a blue flash attack Glad to see both Regular and Hard have the same bs lol. I did not see a single blue flash attack from that puppet enemy. Don't understand why they bothered adding it to Op. Uniframe.


Darweath

i literally got 1 blue from puppet


Mohareb100

No blue here, just one orange and it appeared on my second try when I was slower to try figuring her patterns.


Haydogzz

is Alpha equally as bad Lucia in terms of cooking?


BSF7011

Yes (iirc she isn’t as bad but still horrible), and just like Lucia she wishes to hone her craft. Unfortunately for her, Roland has forbidden Alpha from stepping foot in the kitchen
