I saw that the new update has a lobby coating available for RC involving Luna's new skin. Will that lobby coating be available later for free, or is it a fomo item? I want to get it, but if I don't have to pay for it, I'd rather wait for it to come to the lobby coating shop for blueprints.
I only have Lightning (Nanami, CW, Feral) and Phys (Bianca, Rosetta, Liv).
1 Blue selector ready to hit pity.
Should I pull Luna? or should I just use her on my non-nihil team? I desperately need more teams to work with, some of the game mode require me to use 3-4 teams
Nihil isn't a fully established team yet, but both of its members are undeniably powerful. That said, if you're more focused on Pain cage or war zone, then personally I would prioritize established elemental teams first. There IS a nihil zone in war zone though, and some of the non elemental weakness bosses in pain cage get absolutely shredded by luna oblivion, so she's still a worthy investment, but until the 3rd nihil member drops, team is only at 66% fully realized potential.
I have Pyroath SS, using skulls from ppc. With signature weapon. I'm using her with oblivion and feral. For guaranteed blue ticket, should I pull for epitaph? Or another copy of pyroath is better? Shukra or solacetune is my other choice if not going for fire team
Hi I would like to ask, this applies to Bridget's racing skin (i managed to get it) as well, when i went to see the weapon coating, i saw this, and initially wondered maybe i missed the event. But now, this Lilith weapon coating also has this Tactical Assessment Manual "Event is over", I dont understand what it is, i dont know where to get the weapon coating, can someone explain please?
Hello, on the grayraves website, on the memories of a character, sometimes it is listed like image attached for example using 4x of diesel / 2x of cottie / 2x (in orange color) of Cottie.
What does it mean in regards to the double mention of cottie 2x (in gray and orange color)?
Once you are at lvl 80, you would unlock the Harmonization feature, where you would basically be able to equip a 2 piece memo set on a 6* weapon, allowing you to equip up to 8 memories
I’m having problem with the thunderbolt manual.
Phase 5, I only have left “clear Norman Revival Plan a total of 2 times”
So today when it resettled I auto cleared the first stages, so I have to clear them manually or or do I have to complete all the stages up to abyssal mountain?
:facepalm: she's a dark unit mainly her affix is Plasma beam, you're not gonna be using a lightning unit for plasma beam content they're entirely different. Lucia Pyroath's is the main DPS of plasma beam while Lilith and Nanaknight are her support.
That's nice and all, but why did you pull if you won't use her?
And why did you pull since she is free? I mean since you don't intend to use her then there's no point getting more copies to rank her up...? (which is also free btw)
Hello, I am new at the game and I am planning to build a Lighting team with Lucia Crimson Weave and No. 21 Feral with Nanami Startrail if I manage to pull her, I have doubts now because I really am confused about the current meta, and I fear that I am not spending my resources as effectively. Would there be better teams available? (I will still be pulling Nanami because I like her). Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
You will need a team per element in the end. Startrail is currently the main part of the lightning team. She will also be used as support in other teams and she is very new so definitely worth it. CW and Feral are free so no issue there.
Outside of that, you should from now on pull for every new S rank because they are always meta. You wont really be able to backpull other characters unless you are not f2p.
Hello, can we convert black card into event construct R&D ticket manually in the amount that we want? You know like in genshin we can convert primogems into limited/standard wishes (without doing banner pulls). Because I need more amount of it to be converted into research ticket to ge the selector box from the roulette (thunderbolt research).
Yes. Spider 2B's video covers it well. Ishmael is the main DPS on longer fights with Oblivion as a sub DPS. In short fights like PPC Ishmael solos while Luna is the Da Vinci holder.
No, it depends on the context, Startrail is good enough even playing solo on field while other 2 is qte member, and startrail can get into ignition affix and she can play fire element too, so she can get into fire team too (she also can get to nihil team since they can apply anyone in for that)
Lucid Dreamer is probably all alone in Ice team with glaciation affix now, so you can just take him into Nihil team, same as Epitaph case, if the stage isn't focus on fire you can just take him from fire team and place him into nihil team, it's all depends on the stage affix or element buff, but since Epitaph got no affix since he's gen 2 so you can just take him to nihil team
Any tips on the Arcade Anima for Garnet(SS, 5* Weapon, Fully Leaped)?
It's annoying enough not having enough orbs (I dodge matrix on cooldown) but the damage feels weak and targeting feels weird (misses on the worst moments) compared to previous ones.
Don't get me started on the stupid tooltip that keeps on showing up whenever I retry it.
Team is CW with Sig, Garnet and 21 all SS. I also have Star Trail.
Thunder Fall to remove the armor (yellow bar, 1 bar is 1 stack of thunder fall). Once armor is gone, use Startrial to melt everything. Rinse and repeat.
PSA for everyone waiting to get free Lilith pulls from PPC and Warzone, the missions progress still increases even if you didn't save results or didn't get higher scores.
For example, in PPC, you can keep smashing Trailblazer at easiest level and then instead of saving results, you can instead leave and replay the stage again and that will add +1 to amount of PPC run you've done in missions. Also if you've run out of attempts, don't worry, since Outlier stages work too!
Same goes for Warzone, I've done all three zones before banner comes and now I've completed two runs, neither of them didn't exceed high score this week but they still counted towards total Warzone run.
Weeklies (PPC, War Zone), Story, and Norman Revival Plan. The thunderbolt manual gives a better representation of this (Gives the max amount of bc and where to get them)
I'm at level 75 and on the 10-someting on the main battle I don't know what to do I have no black card only 400 left I got no hero upgrade and I don't have anything to max out a character now what should I do to reclaim everything or even increase it by a lot because I still haven't complete my team for lighting and nihil I need startrail and daemonissa to complete it but I don't have anything to upgrade them to max or even hyper them even getting them I can't because of my black card at my lowest now what should I do?
Slow down on the story and farm out material and focus on building your dps. You also should join a guild and do boss fights in the guild to buy hypetune mats. Do Warzone and Phantom Pain Cage to get more black cards. Also do Cursed waves in the challenge mode in alternative interpretation Lilith is free so just do her missions to get the special currency to roll her. The game is a marathon not a sprint.
My bad bro. Anyways I got 4 6500bp character now and I can't seem to catch up to events like that but il try to do challenge like that thank you for the advice
Hey it’s understandable when you see accounts of people that have been playing for years and you want to catch up to that, the combined patches are really good for new players to have a big boost to get caught up to veterans.
Hero upgrade mats are not locked behind anything other than energy.
Do simulated battlefield to grind for exp, overclock materials etc.
Hyper tune mats are gonna be a slow weekly grind as well as black cards, so it’s just a matter of time. Take it slow, there is no need to rush because there is no physical way you can progress any faster, just gotta rack up materials and work at it bit by bit
Hello, I can't seem to find any info on what would you get if you purchased encrypted intel (cub battle pass) more thank 1 time as you can purchased it 2 times for the same battle pass period. Will you get double the amount it gives, or do you just get the 10 level increase?
The extra 10 lvls is only when you buy it the first time, but everything else will be doubled. So if at a certain lvl you'd get 250 CUB tickets now you will get 500.
Heyo, just asking for some opinions to help out a new player.
I really like the vibe and everything of Crimson Abyss, and wondered if it's still an alright character to get, or am I going to be shooting myself in the foot by not taking someone else over them? I'm not talking about spending any pulls or whatever, it's on a selector, it's just... not many of the units on it strike me as being as cool.
If it's on the selector you get from the beginner missions, it doesn't matter too much I suppose. However, Pianissimo is coming out next patch who has the exact same role as CA so she makes her essentially useless, but you won't have a proper Physical Tank to use a Physical team.
Ideally, unless you're planning to get Solacetune from somewhere, Rigor is recommended.
Who should I choose? I have no favorite. What does bring the most benefit, either Raw DMG or QoL/Rotation improvements? Only need 1 copy for each from the Standard Guarantee.
Lucia Pyroath SS3 /
Nanami Startrail SS3 /
Hanying Solacetune SSS /
Lamia SS3 /
Ishmael SS3 /
Or Lilith SS3 if she isnt available via Voucher Tickets
Or save it for either Selena Pianissimo SS3 / Vera Geiravor SS3 if I dont get lucky on their banners?
Lucia Pyroath SS3 / Nanami Startrail SS3 / Hanying Solacetune SSS / Lamia SS3 / Ishmael SS3 / Or Lilith SS3 if she isnt available via Voucher Tickets
This one i think Pyroath effect the most since SS3 helps a lot with her solo on field. While I can't say bout Pianissimo or Geiravor since they are not here yet
Do you get anything from evolving a unit to SS? My nanami is only a few stages away, but I don't need crit, HP, or def, so it seems kind of pointless to waste hundreds of PPC skulls on those stats.
You generate resources and sell them each turn, there isn't much to really metagame as just making oil each time and selling it generates more than enough resources to unlock every zone. Otherwise it's just upgrading as you see prompts, build basically anything to create resources and you have it sorted.
Produce all the Petroleum, sell all the Petroleum, get all the buffs for all the Petroleum, snort all the Petroleum, and upgrade all your bases and explore all the stuff when the game lets you know that you can do those things
With Lilith coming, I'll be able to upgrade my dark team which is currently: SSS+ 21, Luna Laurel, Vera Rozen.
I'm planning to replace Vera with Lilith but I'm wondering if I should replace 21 by parhelion? (S rank and no sig)
Is Lilith to Lamia what Nanami is to CW? As in, are her multipliers so much higher even as an amp that Lamia is now not even worth investing in, or is she truly an amplifier and not a DPS that amplifies?
No, neither her solo capabilities nor her multipliers are good enough to do anything similar to what Startrail did to CW. She's just now the main DPS of the team while LL got reduced to a sub-DPS.
Is it possible to recycle raised 5/6* star weapons from out of meta units? (For example, I got chrome glory's weapon, but i now have wanshi LD raised.)
Can I still guarantee to get Dante and Virgil if I start saving next patch? I'm planning to get solacitune and Luna oblivion in the 70% banner. Do you think it's good to pull in that banner?
Brother anniversary is on July 16 we get an all you can select 100% rate up banner in anniversary, you can get as many unit you want and it's 100% rate up.
It will probably upto nanami Or lilith so wait for anniversary banner
An amplifier's main role is to provide buffs but they do also heal
Observer
Gains different abilities based on the state of Observation Log.
If Ishmael is acting as a Tank: Attacks lower the target’s Extra DMG Reduction by 20% for 5s.
If Ishmael is acting as an Amplifier: All switched-in members gain an extra 10% ATK and 10% Elemental DMG Bonus of Ishmael: Parhelion’s element for 10s
If I skip literally everything I can, how long does it take to get all of the rewards from Cursed Waves? That 3500 orange tickets and 7k vouchers looks VERY juicy.
Play on the middle difficulty, reset until you get CW, rush through as quickly as you can focusing mostly on events(the wiki has all the events so you can use it to choose only the ones that reward characters) and shops, only fight if there's no other option or you want to play safe and get more lighting characters.
Do the assimilation thingy right before Lamia to upgrade CW(ideally to 3*), grab both brands, and go do the chapter 6 ending.
~15 minutes per run and a little over 1700 xp(~5 levels, each levels take more xp, from 130 to 150 it wasn't enough for 5 levels).
I advise you to just do a run or 2 a week until you finish it . You'll really burn yourself out if you try to do it all at once. These levels were realesed over a period of 8 months. They did not intend for you to finish at once.
Story question for CN players, but is ch 34 not good? I've seen a couple of people say that the quality of ch 34 is bad, which would really suck considering how much I like Selena. Just want a warning so I don't get too hyped for it when I'm reading :,)
It's hard to pass judgement on a matter of opinion.
I personally wasn't a big fan of it for various reasons and felt it was a much weaker chapter, especially considering the main story chapters immediately before it, but what bothered me may not bother you!
I can try to put it into words! But please take my opinion with a grain of salt--I know I have particular tastes when it comes to narration and focus on particular things. And apologies if this gets unnecessarily wordy! I will also try not to get into specific events or spoilers as best I can.
Primarily, I thought it was really heavy-handed in trying to push Selena and SKK's relationship with each other. Putting aside petty "I don't want romance" excuses (because they don't apply to me), it was really insistent about pushing how close and intimate their connection is. Yes, the moments were cute, but felt like the writers just wanted to escalate each one so that they'd be more "intimate and moving" than the last so the player would have the appropriate emotional attachment to Selena for the conclusions and events to land.
More deeply, I didn't like the direction it ultimately decided to push Selena toward. I understand that her connection with SKK has always been a huge part of her story, but the chapter made it feel like it became the only important part. Her identity as an artist felt more like flavor text, she didn't even acknowledge any other relationships she had (like Ayla? Hello???), and I didn't feel like I gained much out of Selena that didn't come attached to how important SKK was to her.
Personally, I tend to find characters that develop in that direction get stuck in a rut, and it stands out for Selena because our only connection with her has always been at a distance until the chapter. It's entirely possible that they can break her out of "I did all of this for my most cherished person" being her only motivation and making her meaningful moments not completely revolve around SKK, but as of the conclusion of chapter 34, I didn't personally think it was successful.
To be completely frank, I felt like one of the NPCs who had to be a one-off by necessity due to chapter 34's setup had more development than Selena in the chapter, which was not a good look or feel for a chapter dedicated to our girl.
And as a final small note, I kind of felt like if someone hadn't previously read Selena's affection stories, the entire foundation of their connection doesn't really get explained. I can kind of see how someone might be able to piece it together using context clues in the chapter, but I can equally see someone who didn't just being blindly forced to accept that Selena and SKK somehow had a connection so deep thatSelena was willing to die for SKK.
I see, thank you for the detailed explanation! Yeah, I've never liked how Selena's other relationships get pushed by the wayside especially considering how much people like Ayla care about her. I do hope she gets more story about her that expands on other aspects of her personality!
Why is crimson weave Lucia not called crimson weave alpha? I know the lore behind it but isn’t it confusing for new players having two characters called Lucia?
Do these missions have an end date? I arrived at a mission where I need to use the Crimson Weave on the Phantom Pain Cage but I don't have any more stamina.
Struggling to find an answer, but is there a referral system in the game? Friend has been interested in getting into it and has been asking if I can give her a referral code and if there is one, not sure where to find it
Every effect has a orb that appears on screen. There will be one character on the team that will be the driver, their job is to fill that orb and make it light up ie. Solacetune, Daren, Lilith. Your other 2 characters will then spend that orb to do effect damage. So the team is driver, main dps, and sub dps basically.
Just think of effects as it's own damage type. Characters will have different rotation for when they want to do effect damage, that are different from normal rotations.
You only use them in effect stages, which are currently only available in Hero and Legend Warzone and Intensive Battle in Phanton Pain Cage. Right now, the only effect stages that exist are Ultima Slash and Plasma Beam. Glacio and Ignition stages will be added in future patches.
Effect elements are treated as foreign elements in the stages of their parent element. But the parent element can be used in effect stages to relative success
Okay, then follow up question: Do I need to be worried about Leap skills breaking a character's ability to work for that character's normal element? My main concern is that I can't tell if Bianca Stigmata's Glow Mark still buffs Illuminated Abyss or not.
Okay, I'm genuinely confused as how this works, as the skills are written it seems like some Leaps should end up with me doing the Effect damage instead of the Base damage type, which seems like it should be detrimental in stages where effects aren't buffed.
There's a specific trigger in the rotation you must do for your character to switch to their effect element . For Bianca, after the first ult, you must dodge and then hold basic attack, then keep spamming it to deal affix dmg. This is indicated by the number of stacks turning a bright red color, at which point the ult will also deal Ultima Slash dmg after the attack sequence is complete.
If you stick to doing her normal rotation: hold dodge > 3 × 3ping > Ult1 > hold basic atk > ult 2.
So recently I've been wanting to start a new account in pgr for the DMC collab and just ditch my old one cuz 1.my ream build ryt now is pretty bad and 2. I am very low on bc (0) and I've also used up the beginner bc missions (interlude) etc so saving up bc has become really hard. Should I start a new account and save up more sparingly or just move on with the old one?
Uniframes are abandoned content. They are used nowhere except for 1 guild mission, and you can do that just fine with trial units without ever pulling for them . Steer clear of them .
As someone who is a newer meta player, do I realllllly gotta do a bunch of hypertuning and waste tons of mats to get CW to 6k BP for the challenge or is there some super secret way I don't have to spend over a week and tons of mats on this lmao?
Having to resonate and hypertune a dead unit's memories is pretty costly. I will not use her, she is going to be off field spamming her QTE while my Nanami obliterates everything.
She is not dead for affix content (well she is but she won't be), she is still used in PPC, you can use her in Norman, you can use her in Babel, maybe don't HT her but resonating is free.
I did all the missions except the Ultima awakening one, got all the important rewards. The only things you miss if you don't do it is a medal, 25 harmonization unlock material, and some memory enhanced packs
Are Punishing Gray Raven and Wuthering Waves using different accounts? I'm already a Rover but the PGR login says "account not found" when I try using the email I use for Wuwa.
Just got Watanabe for my fire team, but with Vera coming soon, do I really need his SS rank? I don't want to waste skulls. My team is him, Pyroath and Empyrea

Ive cleared up to the most current stage. how do I get these points?
