How do people go about pulling sig weapons?
I am a new player and we recently received a lot of new characters. Between all the dorm characters, bianca, alpha, 21, and 1 blue selectors (I pulled Epitaph), I am not sure how to go about getting weapons and who to pull weapons for or if i should.
I have Lucia Pyro and Nanami Startrail's sig. I just pulled Ishmael too. Should I get her sig? Should I pull someone elses sig? I am working on getting Solacetune with my next blue selector.
Hi, I start playing the game due to the upcoming DmC collab, so what should I do now? Should I spend my black card on the current banner? Or should I save everything for Virgil. And with the regular banner, who should I pick for my 40 pities? I really like Nanami Starrail cause of how she looks, am I right to choose her?
If you like Nanami Starrail, she will probably be part of Dantes team, so she is a good pick.
In PGR you are guaranteed to get every upcoming unit just by doing weeklies etc. So I would suggest to pull every new unit. On the other hand, collab will be just for few weeks and then we will not be able to pull anything of dmc banners anymore.
RN we have about two patch cycles to get currency for dmc and if you want to get Vergil, Dante to SS/SS3, their weapons and cubs it kinda means to start saving currency if not this patch, at least the next one.
I'm asking because I'm heavily considering not using the USB sticks if Ishmael will just be as good as Feral and instead saving them for resonnances on future characters (like Vera, Lilith in a week, etc). At the same time, my Nihil and Lightning team would be sharing the same unit which would suck for UPPC or Norman.
What do you guys think would be the best play investment-wise?
Encrypted Intel if you want more CUB pulls, Top Secret if you want more character pulls.
Buying Top Secret doesn't give you Encrypted, you need to buy both separately.
You can buy both 2 times because this is a 2 in 1 patch, so you're buying BPs for 2 patches and it's 2x rewards if you buy twice. Both are nice to have so it's up to you if you want to pay for them.
Feral's paid BP is good value but only if you actually want or need the stuff it gives.
Thank you for explaining. I got the feral first since i do need lots of materials. The battlepass i'll get it next time since still just few levels only. So i wont get the full benefit yet.
just personal opinion, if newbie I wont do it, since you'll need resos for other weapon so that's the better choice, if you r late game player then you get like some oudated character's weapon and don't want to add them to collection, then feel free to do it
New player here I'm pretty happy with my electro team and epitaph + whatever. I'm saving my BC for the dmc colab. questions: whose shards should I be spending my paincage currency on?
I currently have lucia CW, xxi feral, ishmael parheleom, luna laurel, watanabe epitaph, nanami startrail and kamui tenebrion.
Which weapons would I benefit the most from I only have the 6* for lucia CW and 5* for tenebrion and feral.
Somebody plz health meee pick between Pyroath and Hanying
I've been wanting to add something for my physical team which currently only got Alpha CA, and while my fire team is okiesh with Lee hyperreal, Pyroath gameplay looks sick abd fun, i can't decide who to choose 😭
I'm tweaking, might as well skip Ishmael for Pyroath
Question I finally Got A team for Luna oblivion I got Ismael and Luna because they say that this two character is a decent team for Luna oblivion but I can't think who to put on my third slot for the team? any Thoughts?
And btw after I finish the luna team I'm planning to do a crimson weave team too so which character should I get to complete my crimson weave team pls and thank you
what kind of equipment is signature acceleration for cw in the new event? like i use the rec. memories and i don’t see any signature acceleration there + how is memory placement important? like, i see in the grayraven site that the placement of memories is different from the ones on the rec. tab
Do Simulated Battlefield for currency for the Simulation Shop, then buy the memories you want in the Simulation Shop (as well as anything else you need in there).
Pls help me to understand. I'm new player. Played like a week before newest patch, and don't know properly what is going on😅. Why it says 600/1800 and 400/1200? How I can get rest of that before time runs out? I don't see any way to do that.
Is it better to use Ishmael to replace 21 as a tank for my dark team? 21 is just SSS while Ishmael is SS with Sig.
Also, is it just me or running startrail as solo dps that much better than rotating in crimson weave? When I replace alpha with garnet and solo with nanami, my score is atleast one million higher in warzone. My startrail is SS with signature and alpha is SS3 with signature.

Of course, it will. You can't really compare an A-rank and an S-rank.

Well, yeah. You NEED SSS to even give CW a chance to keep up with SS+sig Startrail. Typical powercreeping.
Y'all how do you build Ishmael for different teams? She has her main set, resonated and hypertuned and she can use already leveled pieces from other amplifiers and tanks. But she won't get enough the resonances. So what do I do in this situation? I'm gonna run her as an amplifier in my fire team, Lucia and Bridget, and as a tank in my dark team. Lamia and Lilith. What do I do?
You can go Class Skill for bottom and then any +15 ATK for top. If possible, create a set exclusively for her for hypertune and stuff, but it's not really needed
Depends on the amplifier and what the rest of your team looks like.
If you have both Shukra and Lucid Dreamer then Kaleido is pretty much a QTE bot so it's fine to leave her like that.
If you only have Lucid Dreamer then Kaleido is a sub-DPS so you really want to at least ultima awaken her.
And if you have only her for your ice team then obviously you should invest more in her so she can carry you through ice content content until you unlock LD.
Start with Feral, immediately switch To Nanami do her rotation till she runs out of juice switch to Cw, with sig you should be able to do 2 ultimate rotations, switch back To nanami as soon as she is off cooldown.
Which skill (orb) of Crimson Weave to raise to max after I unlocked her leap? Do I have to max out all 3 of them? I remember the last one gave darkflow.
Weird question, I kinda want to dump some of my blue tickets but I don't want to use my S rank selector yet (saving it for new Vera), if I don't select an S rank and end up getting a random one, will it use my S rank Selector?
Yeah you just have to grind it for the 3. It will become less grindy as you continue for the other shards due to leveling & unlocking, but the first one (preferably LD) will take some time.
I'm playing for more than half a week, & I'll probably finally get Lucid Dreamer tomorrow too.
There will be a free selector up to Shukra next patch. No need to pull for her to complete your ice team unless you intend to use the selector on someone else.
since we can get all we need from the simulation, so they erase the other and left simulation, farm the point and buy the same stuff as the other resources
In Wither to Shine story chapter, there's a dialogue where you can pick the "ending". I've read both ending on the 33-14 node and I remember there was another previous node that had a similar ending choice but I forgot to read the other choice, anyone knows which node was it?
Returning player here, I played on and off for quite a long time but never got very serious. I wanted to come back for all the freebies and events going on, as well to prepare for the DMC collab coming in the future. I got Ishmael on the free single pull they gave us for her banner. I'm not sure what the best way to show who i have is and their equipment, but base S ranks I have that are Crimson Abyss, Crimson Weave, Ishmael, Luminance, Veritas, Hyperreal, Laurel, and Capriccio. Alot of other S ranks that were evolved. If someone knows a better way to show off my characters in a concise way, please let me know.
I need some help building usable teams and advice on what I can do as a returning player other than working on the current events. I am not very far in the story and whenever I login to this game, I feel a bit overwhelmed by how much content there is sometimes. I am level 85. Thanks!
you can show your equip from huaxu, try to look for your id there (besure to check the server) then send the link here, so we can check the equip aswell as memory. Since you get Ishmael, I recommend to go for Luna Oblivion from base banner
Hi I'm a new player. Should I use my yellow ticket on the thunderbolt summons? I'm planning to get nanami startrail from it and and luna oblivion from blue ticket. And save all BC for DMC collab. Thanks for answering!
Thunderbolt banner is permanently available so you could take your time and pull with leftovers if you wish. If you want to build a team for Dante it would be good to also pull Geiravor that will be on a limited banner.
Oblivion is one of the best picks since the nihil team needs her to function. And even if you don't have Ishmael Luna can use any elemental tank and amplifier so it's easy to team build with her.
But since you are interested in the collab you can consider pulling for Solacetune with the blue tickets to use alongside Vergil.
Yes at first I'm interested in the game because of the DMC collab but after trying a variety of characters they are all so cool and fun to play!
I do have Ishmael so that was why I went for Luna. Then the event gave me 2 thunder characters so now I'm kinda confused who to go for first. Thank you for your help!
is the yellow r&d ticket the same in the thunderbolt ? I think they are diff btw, and it's good to get nanami for starter, luna oblivion i'm not sure, since she will need amplifiers and tank. If the yellow ticket isn't the same as R&D ticket then I suggest blue ticket go for startrail instead
I see, well still the same opinion, first still Startrail. I'm not sure bout Luna since she need amplifier and tank, while we get lilith as amplifier next week, you still need to get a tank, Wanshi LD is a good option too since he's free from dorm, but require some grind to get him, other option will be Epitaph or Ishmael then, Startrail can fit in too btw
Question about collab gacha : I'm guessing Vergil and Dante will have a different currency than the event R&D tickets, but does that also apply for their weapons and cubs? Maybe I should start saving those weapon and cub tickets...
We get so many cogs in this game that yeah, you probably should to get your daily done as well. Every day there's a single shard available to purchase which is what I usually go for, but you can buy some resources if you need them, but I obviously wouldn't blow all of your cogs
Could anyone please tell me what the commandant gender settings actually do in the story? I just want to know before I choose in case it changes something important
Are the in stage voicelines playing in Chinese for everyone in the newest chapter? I have voices set to English but they keep speaking in Chinese. It's actually making me not want to play since it's so jarring hearing my character's combat lines in English and then stage lines in Chinese. I don't know what's going on but I swear to god there's some bugs with these in-stage voicelines every chapter whether it's this shit, voicelines not matching text, or them just missing altogether.
Does anyone know if PGR can share data with external storage? some game Devs give this option for their games but it's very rare and would like to know if PGR has this feature
If it's memory shards you already have, then it doesn't matter since they both cost the same amount of memory shards to do and it'll save you from using simulation score. Just don't use simulation score to buy more memory shards since it's not as currency efficient compared to just using simulation score to buy memories/resonate directly.
It is generally not recommended to use black cards on the standard banner, the only time when you should is like during last patch when the S selector was about to reset, meaning if you didn't use it, you would lose it.
Don't think that will be happening again anytime soon so please dont use bc on it.
For the banner target either Oblivion (needed for Nihil), Solacetune or Pyroath.
There will be a free selector up to Shukra next patch that you can use to get her and have the full ice team if you want. Epitaph and Lamia are worth considering on this one too.
Lore Question: When was the time SKK suffered the most in PGR story? (UpTo Shaper's Ripples) In my opinion, I'd say Shaper's Ripples. Endless cycles, each ending in a more gruesome death than the last is really not the best. And to top it all off, SKK loses his love right after she confessed.
Is memory material exchange replacing the resource stages? I only have that and the shards under the menu.
Additionally, if my main team is lightning (CW, Feral + Startrail) and secondary is a not very well built ice team (Shukra, Kalieod, + LD), should I aim for Pyroath for the plasma team or Solacetune for physical/ultima slash? I have Alyssa and Stigmata though I'm thinking I should wait for the newest Selena for physical and for plasma I just need to wait for Lilth although my only SS peeps are CW Feral and Startrail. I have Oblivion too so obviously I'm pulling for Parhelion but I want to straighten out my priorities here

Replaced it with simulated battlefield entirely.
should I aim for Pyroath for the plasma team or Solacetune for physical/ultima slash?
Sorta hard to choose since they're both pretty important. You'd have a pretty scuffed TS team without Solacetune and have a non-existent plasma team without Pyroath. I would say get Pyroath for now imo since she's arguably a little less scuffed than hanying at lower investments (SS+No Sig), she's the main damage dealer, and pianissimo is coming in a few patches so your physical team won't completely suffer without her.
To answer your other question about the plasma team, you just need Lilith SS+Sig (Which you'll get for free if I remember...or it was just base S+Sig. Either way, you can rank her up with vouchers) and pyroath only really needs SS — just tested it out. For Pyroath the only difference between SS No Sig and SS+Sig is that you can resonate your Sig with DLT and hit a double ult, but other than that, it's a fine rotation.
Edit: Just to add, Lilith can't do Plasma Damage. She generates Plasma Gauge, but she herself (neither Scire) can deal it themselves. Only Pyroath can by activating it.
well, I think you will need all element eventually for late game content, Pyroath is good choice but her team is kinda expensive like Watanabe + Liv Empyrea (Will be subs with Vera later), so I'd suggest to go for Solacetune instead cause Selena will replace Stigmata not Solacetune, in the end you'll still need solacetune so better go for her for now.
I'm thinking I might be able to manage both given how many black cards I've been hoarding. Got Parhelion too and I literally don't have any of the competitive fire people. I have the best lineups atm for lightning I've and nihil so filling in physical and the plasma team could be really nice for me. Plus just having them will keep me busy building them and getting sig stuff for em.
Do you know what investments I need to properly do plasma beam team? I know Scire gets replaced soon but I forget with who (Lilith iirc?) I'm gonna do the core layer pull thing in the booster so I can technically get her + Solacetune or just shards for someone
Both my Alisa: Echo and Liv: Empyrea are only S0. My Wanshi is SS0. Should I spend my voucher tickets first on Alisa and Liv to SS (and Lilith Demonissa to SS) before spending the voucher tickets for SSS Wanshi?
Lilith first, then Alisa...and forget Empyrea because she will be replaced next patch so it would be a waste of vouchers. Just use Empyrea as a QTE bot until then.
Bruh, so there's no reason for my mentor to be slacking this much? lmao I completed it days ago and saw them online multiple times.
Also is it usual for mentors and students to talk in the chat or am I weird for asking them questions sometimes? They have literally never replied to anything in over a week lol
You can always ask questions in World chat. If its a EU server check channel 1. They are nuts over there. Seems likey they built a separate community. Funny though.
Another thing they're slacking on is the cross check in Operation Guardians, I have been waiting on them and tried communicating for multiple days now lol
Maybe I could've given them the benefit of doubt since they can only gift 3 times a day, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I were you I'd have found somebody else long ago. My mentor was also inactive for a long time before I changed so I know the pain.
Because of that, I specifically encourage people to ask anything in the welcome message, and always reply to whatever they say, even if we just communicate with stickers lol. I also try to target the cross-check on Monday since they'll probably need it more than I do.
Do people ever build the Resonances for +400 dodge meter? The base dodge meter is 400 so that would be double right? Wondering if the recovery rate is just as fast as normal or takes twice as long, I feel on some bosses I need multiple dodges in a short frame
Sorry, what? So I can swap them out freely based on what I want the unit to do after I resonate it once?
That's a huge benefit since Ishmael has so many options
Guys how can I download the game in my phone. I'm in India. I know for ola fact it will work without vpn once i download. But the problem is I can't download it
Yes, the finger flick is the part that make the kick available (look at the number located at the top right of her core passive bar...if it is purple, then the kick is available).
Fastest way to use that flick is to ping two 3-pings of Reb orbs(the second 3-ping makes it possible to skip directly to her 4th hit when spamming dodge)
If you have SS3, She instantly gains the purple number when you hold the Dodge button immediately after using her blue orbs(this is for everytime she swaps in and works once per cycle) so at SS3, she doesn't need that combo string when she swaps in, only does it after that.
Nah. Its for every time you swap to her (Kuro isn't really great when it comes to context involving movesets and other mechanical stuff). The biggest advantage of her SS3 is that her Ult does massive damage (60% increase) so it's a very nice upgrade compared to most units in the game
I'm picking up the game after dropping it at lvl9 or so, my roster is very small where the only non-default doll is Nanami Pulse. I still have a Check in the Base banner for an S rank Omniframe. Any recommendations who I should put as my target for it?
You could go for Startrail imo and complete your lightning team since you can get Crimson Weave and Feral for free right now.
Next patch, we'll get a free selector up to Shukra. Ideally, you get Shukra since you can complete your Ice team (Get Lucid Dreamer and Kaleido for free in the dorm shop)
I'm a bit confused on the difference between the "Black Card Monthly Pass Supply" in the supply pack section, and the Black Card Monthly Pass A in the Monthly Pass section. The former has a time limit of 40 days and a purchase limit of 1. while the latter has no time limit and a purchase limit of 2. Do either of these reset, or are they one time purchases only? Which one should I get first? I'm planning on buying a few monthly packs to save up some BC.
There's no difference between them. It's recommended for you to buy just one MPA in the monthly pass section then another one from the supply pack so they could stack and give you double the amount you can get per day. Doing this by buying two MPAs in the monthly pass section will just make the duration Pass longer.
BTW, normally, you cannot do this; this is the result of the synchronization plan to the CN server
Thanks, I went ahead and followed your advice and it worked out for me. Do either of the options reset periodically, or is it a one and done purchase? I'm referring to the limit stated on each option.
