Like the S Bianca video said she does her 3 red orb attack so you can switch to her and ping a single blue orb to trigger her ultimate or whatever. The switch-in attack is baked in. You can't change it. Sometimes it helps toward activating a character's core passive and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the character. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort. If imitators liked hard work, they wouldn't be imitators. |

I know you can just go to a mission and change but not start, but I thought there was a way to just edit teams on the fly. I swear you could beat up a single enemy with constantly regenerating health, and not just in the tutorial section of each characters page. Everything that lets you practice stuff is tucked away here: Battle -> Challenge -> the Trial Zone button at the upper right. You can turn on Co-Op (don't) or switch it to Solo play. Edit teams on the fly...you mean save team formations? You can do that when choosing your characters for a stage. Click on the Team Preset button at the top right. You can edit and save up to six presets and switch between them at any time. You can also do the same for memory loadouts. Go to where you equip memories on a character and tap the Memory Set button at the top right. Unequip takes off all memories at once, so use that to quickly swap stuff out. ![]() ![]() Here, you can save a memory set you have equipped so that you can change out sets or quickly swap a set to another character (useful for some modes). You can even name your presets! Yeah, I still have some memories to farm... YugiNoob posted... What in the holy fuck theres a memory named Adolf in PGR? And the art for one of them is loli Hitler pointing a gun at her head D: lol Yeah, that memory was renamed Cottie in the global version.

That's the roguelite mode I talked about a while ago (called APUS in the last event). I just finished the first map myself. Here's a reddit thread with pics of all the maps with stamina-optimal routes drawn on them. The red line is the shortest route while green is in case you misclick. https://www.reddit.com/r/PunishingGrayRaven/comments/qzfq01/optimal_apus_routes_nona_version_more_in_comments/ To answer your question, support points can buy power-ups but are mainly used to buy support characters, which can be used to complete a fight without using up your 8 daily attempts (i.e. free stage clear). The catch is that the three you use disappear after the fight, so deploy them when you really need them. The good thing is that this mode is 100% optional and I don't see any black card rewards. You can get 6* memory shards from some missions and a lot of materials.

ennuigamer 11/23/21 2:08:21 AM #240 | YugiNoob posted... Just out of curiosity...is there a reason that the War Zone trick only works if you don't have a score? I'm sure there is but I have no clue. All I know is that it just works. Also, do you have any suggestions as to what I spend my stamina on now that I've gotten my Darwins and Pattons? I overclocked them each once, but they're not all at level 30 yet. I've been thinking of trying to get more 6 star memories for Resonance fodder, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea in the first place :< As a new player, there's a ton of stuff to do and farm for! Isn't that always the case in gacha games? :D 6* equipment (weapons and memories) hard caps at lv45, so there's an objective. You could farm for duplicates to resonate those memories, level up your other Constructs (always a good idea), get equipment for your other Constructs (also a good idea), just plain stock up on shit for later (this event is a good opportunity for that), clear stuff you haven't gotten around to yet, farm character shards in Interlude, etc. What do you want to do? I did get around to testing some stuff in the Pain Cage in regards to the weeklies. You DO get credit toward your weeklies for dying against a boss and saving the run but, oddly enough, that does not count toward your dailies. Can you repeat cleared stages and have it count by winning or dying again? No. Once you get credited for "clearing" a stage, one way or the other, that's it. The weeklies are worded "1st time clear" for a reason, right? lol So you can only sort of cheese Pain Cage clears for your weeklies. At least you only need 10 clears and meet the two score thresholds, then you're basically done with that mode for the week. War Zone is the one that needs 12 clears but has lower score thresholds for weeklies. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

Is Pain Cage the only thing that requires multiple teams? I figure that for PC Ill split up Alpha and 2B, but for general use Ill use Alpha/2B/Rosetta or Liv (I know 2B will be sub-optimal without her Nier buddies, but even I dont want to whale for 3 units lol. Also I dont like that weenie 9S). Yeah, there will be other game modes that demand multiple teams and a wide pool of developed characters. It's not just covering Pain Cage boss weaknesses and War Zone element bonuses. Even just as an attacker, Veritas is simply really solid, especially when you want ranged AoE attacks. Besides, she has that really satisfying finger snap! lol Gameplay sample in the lighting War Zone, stage 3 https://youtu.be/Ve6nBmQ_qa4 I can't decide for you if you ultimately want to get her or skip.

ennuigamer 11/22/21 12:05:34 AM #217 | YugiNoob posted... How do I finish the weekly missions about clearing Pain Cage or War Zone 12 times for the first time? Since there are only 10 Pain Cage bosses total with their different difficulties. Will more things open up later and Ill just be unable to do those missions until then? It doesn't count when you re-clear stages you've already beaten? I usually don't have to worry about that, so I'm not going to be much help to you this time. You do get 8 attempts in the Pain Cage on the weekends now and more stage unlocks in War Zone, so maybe try one of the lower difficulty stages (Elite or Knight) again? For War Zone, maybe re-clear stage 3 of a zone? That's all I can really think of. Other than that, just finish what you can and try again tomorrow when all of the weeklies reset. Once things do reset, I'll be in a position to test some ideas. If anything, you can start the week off doing that War Zone dailies trick I linked to before. When your account level gets to 55+, you'll start getting three bosses instead of two. Here's what I do during the week: Monday - All three stages in one zone in War Zone; 4 runs of Pain Cage Tuesday - same Wednesday - War Zone is on Recruitment Phase, so nothing today; wrap up Pain Cage runs Thursday - Complete another War Zone area Friday - Finish War Zone runs for the week Saturday & Sunday - break from both; maybe finish up on Saturday if I missed something or felt lazy On another note, I did learn something interesting about the Nier characters in this game recently. I was somewhat mistaken about their strength relative to the regular physical team. I came across some threads where veteran players were referring to them as "the whale team" but I didn't know why that was the case. It turns out that, while they are stronger than Alpha+Rosetta+Liv (especially when Alpha's bursts are not feasible), they all have to have their signature weapons and be at least SSS to get there (i.e. pulling enough copies for shards). Since the collab eventually gets a rerun, you could split up pulling for duplicates between the two events but you would have to do that anyway to make them worthwhile. If you keep them at S or SS rank, the Alpha team is stronger. Just something to keep in mind for later. At least it doesn't get in the way of simply collecting them, I guess, but it's a little disappointing. The upside to that, if you can pull off getting the three all decked out, you'll have a second physical-based team that's better for War Zone and for bosses Alpha can't burst down or has poor survivability against. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do when the collaboration hits: just collect and be done or pull lots of copies. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

Just need to get enough to scrap and exchange for the other Darwin :D Almost there! :D Resonating memories now or later is up to you, as resonating memories boosts the character's performance and lets you get the last (Ultima) awakening for that character (lv. 80, 5500+ BP, and equipped with 12 6* resonance skills), which passively lets her start with 3 more signal orbs and gives you an icon for your player profile. You'll want to do it at some point but there will be later opportunities to farm these memories if you don't want to do it now.

B Lucia Lotus, S Lee Entropy, A Watanabe Nightblade 2 Darwin (top row) and 4 Patton (bottom row) (Lee can substitute Cottie for the Darwins for faster ultimates) A Bianca Zero 4 Patton and 2 Cottie (Cottie on bottom row) S Bianca Veritas (if you decide to go for her) and A Lucia Dawn 4 Heisen (top row) and 2 Frederick S Lucia Plume (early farming for the next event) 4 Hanna and 2 Einsteina (top row) A Kamui Bastion 4 Hanna (top row) and 2 Cottie (bottom row) -- Awakening set and makes him into a Babel parry god OR 4 Da Vinci and 2 Catherine (bath have the same stat spreads, so put them anywhere you want) -- if you only want him on QTE support duty A Karenina Blast 4 Hanna (top row) and 2 Darwin B Liv Eclipse 4 Da Vinci (bottom row) and 2 Philip II B Nanami Storm 4 Da Vinci and 2 Catherine (bottom row) --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/19/21 9:27:28 PM #199 | YugiNoob posted... Heres who I have right now Oh, that's actually a really good spread there. You can make this work! Save Alpha for the Chaos and Hell difficulties, obviously. Who you use really depends on the boss' weakness but that's a LOT of physical damage dealers you have there. Since you already have B Lucia Lotus built to a degree, I'd use her on the Knight and maybe the Elite difficulty bosses, stamina permitting. From that, you'll want one or two more attackers, one for Test/Elite and maybe a backup for the high difficulties. A Karenina Blast and A Bianca Zero are good choices. Just be aware of the fact that ranged characters like Bianca have a lower dodge capacity (1 less dodge) but that shouldn't be a problem on lower difficulties. If you're willing to use dudes for attackers here, your S Lee Entropy is a good physical DPS, second to Alpha at the moment. Like Bianca, he's a ranged unit. For tanks, B Nanami and A Kamui are really all you have, so I'll leave it to you to figure that out. For support/healing, all you have is B Liv, so only use her for Chaos and up to mitigate the stage bleed. You shouldn't need a healer for difficulties under Chaos, just learn the enemy tells when they're going to attack and ration out your dodges to avoid damage. Practice and use the boss guides if you need to. A Lucia Dawn sucks, so she can be your filler where you need her. A Watanabe is okay but I use him as filler myself. You have better physical damage-dealers at your disposal than him. That 100% (i.e. debut banner) rerun for S Bianca Veritas will be out around Thanksgiving. If you're willing to buy another character, she's definitely worth it. I'm using her now as my main DPS and I'm really liking her performance. If you want a gameplay example, I can record my gameplay and upload it for you to see. That will give you a lightning damage dealer that doesn't suck *glares at Lucia Dawn*. Elemental damage can't crit but it does bypass enemy DEF; it's only subject to element resistance. The upcoming Lucia Plume in the next event deals ice damage. Since Nona Ouroboros runs until December 21st, we'll probably get the next event around Christmas. YugiNoob posted... Oh yeah, and are memories specifically tied to a certain slot (1/2/3/4/5/6 position), or is it just the row? Like if I get an Atk/Def Patton from the shop, will I be able to put it in any of the 4/5/6 slots? What memory goes where is all about the row. The top row (slots 1, 2, 3) only boosts HP and crit while the bottom row (slots 4, 5, 6) boost ATK and DEF. Some memories want to be in one row or the other because of their stat distribution. As far as I can tell, there's no difference in the particular slots of the row in terms of stats you get. Memories are, however, tied to specific slots, so a slot 4 Patton can only go in slot 4, and so on. That's why I wasn't recommending farming for a specific memory from the farming stages; you get a random memory for a random slot. With memory sets, you want to think in terms of the set bonus effects they give, usually one 2-piece set and one 4-piece set. Sometimes you'll see a 2-2-2 build but those are uncommon. There's no point equipping more than 4 of a particular memory. Once you get the hang of things, feel free to start experimenting. 6* memories are what you really want to find and invest in. There are some 5* memories that are good or decent but most have a direct 6* upgrade. 4* memories and below are enhancement fodder or stopgaps until you get better memories. To give an example, for Alpha, Patton gives a poor HP boost but decent ATK/DEF boosts, so you want her memories in the bottom row slots. Her other memory, Darwin, has a really bad ATK boost, so she goes in the top row slots. I'm sorry if I said Da Vinci before; I meant Darwin. I double-checked to make sure. My Alpha set has Darwin in slots 1 and 2, and Patton in 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you farm Frederick memories later down the road, they will replace the Patton memories (or just keep Patton, your call; both sets are good). To know which row a memory wants to go in, consult that spreadsheet and click on the tab labeled 6* Memory lv45 Stat Overview. Green numbers are best while red are worst. You can also bring up a character and I can tell you what memory set(s) are recommended. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/19/21 5:39:51 PM #196 | YugiNoob posted... Dang. So I just noticed that you cant just use the same team for Phantom Pain since they run out of stamina. That blows since I dont think I can get the weekly that requires you to clear new stages 10 times. Unless they just allow you to do really shitty and die and still count that? You got the two modes unlocked?! Great! Yeah, that's why I was advising you to raise a lot of different characters, even though I was more emphasizing Project Babel before. I've gotten so used to Pain Cage that I don't really think about it anymore, lol. The minimum to bring into any Pain Cage fight is two characters, so you'll need at least... You're at the Basic version of Pain Cage, right? Two bosses available? You need a minimum of 400,000 total points to finish the P.C. weeklies (200,000 is the other weekly one), so you'll need a minimum of 4 Constructs to get through everything. 6 characters if you want a full team for the two higher difficulties (you'll really want a healer for that stage bleed/environment damage effect). For the three lower difficulties, use filler characters to satisfy the requirement if you can solo the stage. If you don't like your score at the end, you can choose to not save the run and it will not consume your attempt or character stamina. Make as many attempts as you want until you're satisfied with your performance. If you die against a boss, you still get some points, not a lot, and it counts as a clear and opens the next difficulty for that boss. You get more points the more you lower the boss' HP by the time you died. You just won't get the points for keeping your health up. When I got started, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to things and be able to start clearing stuff to where I could get at least most of the weeklies. Or was that two weeks or so before I could start clearing all of them? I don't remember. It was something like that. Once you get three bosses, you only have to clear up through Chaos difficulty instead of Hell to get the points you need. You'll need around at least 7 characters by that point though. Pain Cage has a ranking mechanic, similar to War Zone. You don't have to care about either of them right now. Just think of the stuff you get from that as a bonus until you can start clearing things consistently. I'll get into that stuff at a later time. I think there's a way to cheese the stage clear weeklies in Pain Cage but I need to test it next week since I've already taken care of my own weeklies for now. You will be sacrificing the two score weeklies to do it if it works though. There's a similar way to cheese the clear weeklies in War Zone. Instead of explaining it here, I'll link to this (it's at the bottom). For War Zone score weeklies, all you need is a total of 200,000+ points, which should be doable for you. War Zone is in a semiweekly cycle (Sunday through Tuesday, then Wednesday through Saturday) but the weeklies take into account all of your points from both cycles for the week. https://grayravens.com/wiki/War_Zone --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/19/21 12:23:19 AM #188 | YugiNoob posted... 17.14% seems like such a strange number lol. Would you suggest farming the currency stage since Im aiming specifically for Patton? Yeah, just go for the currency for now. Get your Pattons from the exchange and then farm the memory stage until you get 6 random 6* memories, then recycle them for the shards. Take those shards to the Recycle Shop and trade them for the two Da Vincis you need for Alpha. Each 6* memory gives you 50 shards when you recycle it, so you need to trade in three memories you don't want for each one you do want. You can also get Heisen, Einsteina, and Hanna memories from this event exchange, so take a look at that spreadsheet's Endgame Memory Set recommendations and equip your characters with what they need. These recommendations will save you time in the long run. You could maybe even stock up for Lucia Plume since she takes 4 Hanna and 2 Einsteina (these will get replaced with 2 Darwin later -- anyway the two set goes in the top row). For anyone else you don't have, you can hold off for later events to farm memories. You could hope for the right memory to drop from a farming stage but this method takes out the RNG, even if it's a little more involved. Once your memories are squared away, farming event currency is a great way to stock up on items you need (cogs, skill points, EXP items, equipment enhancers, etc.). The exchange rate is pretty darn good in this event, better than the last one. I bought Monthly Pass B just to get serum to stock up! lol Edit: I'll just screenshot the spreadsheet to save you time. lol ![]() --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

Liv is mainly recommended as a healer. B Liv in particular once she's SSS or above because she passively buffs the team's physical damage by 10% at that rank with an unlockable skill. YugiNoob posted... Also how do I farm Patton? Do I do those stages that cost 30 stamina and hope for her to drop (I think it says 6 star memories can drop)? The whole layout of the event screen is kinda confusing for me :< No problem. I'll try to simplify it for you. As I stated earlier, event currency is farmable from Cornered in Cruise. On that screen, there are five things to take note of: -the stages (here it's TPB-1 and TPB-2) -the "Switch to Abyss" button -your Authority Lvl in the upper right corner as well as... -...the reward thingy in the bottom center (both are linked) -the boxes on the bottom, marked as 1 through 5 ![]() Both stages give you EXP toward your Authority Level. More on that in a bit. Unlike the last event, there's no cap on how much of this you can get in a day. TPB-1 is your place to farm event currency, Metal Grubs, with a small chance of also getting Holographic Tickets. The tickets are for the Abyss mode stage and also turn into x10 6* memory shards each at the end of the event. When the event moves to the next box on the bottom of the screen, the leftmost stage always will be your event currency farming stage. Each run costs 30 serum and you can multi-challenge it up to 4 waves to save time for repeat farming. TPB-2, rightmost stage in each box, drops memories and a tiny amount of event currency. Each run here has a 17.14% chance of dropping a random 6* memory, with a guaranteed drop within 8 runs outside of the first clear. You can also get those tickets here too if you want. Same stamina cost and such here. Abyss Mode has only ONE stage, TPB-0, and it costs 4 of those Holographic Tickets instead of consuming stamina. It's also a fair bit challenging. The reward for this stage is a guaranteed random 6* memory drop every run. Authority Level gives you passive boosts in this gameplay mode and nets you rewards for reaching specific levels. Box 1's reward is obtained at Authority lvl 2. You can look at what passive boosts you get by clicking on your lvl at the top right. Part of your reward in each box will be Electric Stamps, which earn you milestone rewards in the event's home screen under Financial Terminals at the bottom left. The event shop is marked Virtual Mart at the bottom left of the event's home screen. You trade in your event currency for Patton there. All 6 slots of her are available for 380 Metal Grubs each under the North Market tab. ![]() ![]() --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/18/21 8:18:38 PM #183 | In short, the debuff+burst down trick with Alpha is RNG-dependent. You have to hope your debuffer starts with a 3-ping of the debuff skill, switch to Alpha, and hope Alpha has 1 blue orb to 3-ping during Matrix and 3 of another color. If not, you have to restart the run and hope for better RNG. Everything has to line up for the trick to work. It's really best saved for the Pain Cage for high difficulty bosses once you have the Frederick memory set. Even if you don't kill the boss outright, you'll take out enough HP to make the rest of the fight much easier and faster to deal with than dancing with them the whole way. Most of the time, it's just simpler and easier to use that Patton set instead. Debuff the enemies where you can and sword wave when you can. Speaking of debuffers, farm B Nanami's shards from Interlude. You want to evolve her to S rank so you can unlock a skill that increases the amount she debuffs enemies by, which goes up to 20%. If you keep her below S, that skill will be stuck at lv. 1 and you will only get 10%. For minimal investment, she only needs blue orb leveled up and that tank skill. That's it. A Kamui Bastion is a better debuffer (and a great physical unit in general) but I think his setup is a little different. I need to check on that. Edit: Kamui just needs his QTE leveled up and maybe a memory set to help with debuffs but that's it. No extra ranks are really needed but you can raise him to S for a similar extra debuff skill unlock (not really needed for him though). --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/18/21 8:03:24 PM #182 | YugiNoob posted... quick Alpha-related question: when using a defense-lowering teammate, are you supposed to start with them and use their skill, then switch Alpha in? Would her incoming attack count towards her 3 ping for sword waves? Or am I supposed to start with Alpha then ping blue > assist > ping 3 > mash sword waves? At least it's not a game over if you get caught. You can run and gun it through stealth sections if you want. IIRC, it's only a few specific areas or optional objectives that mandate the stealthy approach. I mainly like these stages because I like playing stealth games. You can do the whole debuff song-and-dance but I've been able to get by with Alpha on the field from the get-go pretty well. It's when bursting down bosses or tough enemies that you want to lead with the DEF-debuffer, both for the debuff and so Alpha can get extra signal orbs. If you use B Nanami Storm to debuff, I recommend equipping her with her 5* chainsaw, Lightning Spark. For debuffing, it's better than her 6* signature weapon. You lead in with the tank's debuff, switch Alpha in, dodge twice, triggering Matrix, then go into sword wave stance and blast the enemy. This whole trick requires a very specific setup (i.e. Frederick memories) and takes practice. Her switch-in attack is a 3-ping of the red orb and you need to lead with a 3-ping of blue orbs to satisfy half of the condition to activate her core passive/sword wave stance. It's 3 blue and then 3 of any color. What I've been doing, and it works, is using this 6* memory set and just playing her normally, going into sword wave stance whenever I save up enough orbs. She still hits like a truck once you get things leveled up and overclocked. 2 Da Vinci on the top row (I used slots 1 and 2) 4 Patton on the bottom row and the top row's remaining slot You can farm for Patton in this event (event currency shop) and you can get extra 6* memories to trade in for shards to get Da Vinci and for resonating the memory set once you're happy with it. If you decide to resonate memories, don't bother trying for perfect skills right now as it's way too stamina-intensive. Do that at endgame when you don't have much else to do. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort. If imitators liked hard work, they wouldn't be imitators. |

ennuigamer 11/18/21 5:15:25 PM #172 | On the CN side of PGR, this boss uses elements Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Looks like a pretty fun fight. Note that we get Selena as a Compositor first before we get this version of her as a Construct (dark amplifier). https://youtu.be/GWu37dyCaFI Moving on to the current event on global, Nona Ouroboros. First up is the character guide for Chrome since he's out now. You can get him from the normal, non-event character gacha at a rate of 100% within 10 pulls. Make sure to set the selector to him before you pull! He is the last member needed to make up the first iteration of the Lightning Team. A Chrome is later replaced by S Vera Flare but that's 10 events away. https://youtu.be/pg_vPa6Z8cQ Chapter 11's story moves really fast but at least it has some good stages. The MGS-like one is a much better way to handle stealth stages, IMO. The Hanged Man enemies are a pain in the ass to fight but I think I'm slowly getting used to their attack cues...maybe. 11-7 gives you a small taste of Lucia Plume but she's strictly limited to physical attacks and skills. You also get to play her in a skin that will be up for sale in the next event. The first major boss, The chapter final boss had some visually impressive attacks. Looked straight out of HunterxHunter's Netero from that one fight. It wasn't too hard, just some tricky attacks. I haven't played Chrome's interlude, so I don't know how to unlock the hidden story bit yet. All interludes have a hidden, unlockable story section when you meet the requirements in the playable stages. Bitter Daybreak: Cornered in Cruise is where you farm event currency and 6* memories. Unlike the last event, the next set of stages opens in time rather than Authority Levels. I hope people can go back and play the earlier stages so that they aren't locked out of the rewards, not that the lvl milestone rewards are much to speak of. Don't forget about the new mode that opened up under Battle > Challenge, Border Pact! It plays a lot like Stronghold but is harder and offers some additional benefits... Looking at the limited event packages in the Top-Up Shop, here's my opinion on them if you're planning to spend anything. I'm not buying anything myself this time but this is based on my experience buying packs like this before. [Nona] Strike Hawk Support (28 Rainbow Cards) - All of this is easily farmable. I'd pass on it. [Nona] Arclight Awaken Bundle (59 RC) - Same story but I'd maybe buy them for the 6* Memory Shards if I really needed them. But that's also what the monthly packs are for... [Nona] Event R&D Pack (119 RC) - 2500 event gacha tickets (a 10-pull) and 500 black cards for whatever else? Not too shabby! I'd buy this one. [Nona] Basic R&D Pack (119 RC) - I'd only get this one if I wanted to stock up on basic character gacha tickets. The skill points are a nice bonus. This one is a maybe from me. [Nona] Target Weapon Pack (59 RC) - You need to buy both to get the full benefit, a 10-pull in the targeted weapon gacha, but it's not too bad (118 RC total, so in the same boat as the other ticket packs). I'd get these to help offset black card consumption in the weapon gacha. [Nona] Weapon Reso. Bundle (229 RC) - Hard pass on this one. While it gives you half of what you need for a 10-pull in the non-targeted weapon gacha (ugh) and an item that lets you resonate any 6* weapon slot, this pack is more of a newbie trap than anything else. 6* weapon resonation is not really a priority in the game until endgame. By that point, you probably will have done enough pulls or saved up enough tickets to get fodder weapons that can do the same job for less. Also, non-targeted weapon gacha tickets are not valuable in this game when targeted ones exist (and black cards). The event skins are good. If you have any interest in them at all, get them now! Events are a discount period for specific skins. When Chrome's skin gets added to the permanent skin pool and you can farm blueprints for it, it will be much more expensive. Bianca's skin, when it comes out, is an exclusive one. Exclusive skins may make a return later but it's uncertain when they will appear for sale again. If any are made permanent, then they too will be much more expensive. If you haven't caught on yet, skins and their related items are Kuro Games' primary source of monetization for this game. Expect them to be stingy here. It's also why it takes seemingly forever to farm up enough blueprints for a skin for free. Yay! I'm back over 15k black cards for Lucia Plume! Now I need to get it to 22.5k so I can get both her and her weapon. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/17/21 2:08:28 PM #155 | YugiNoob posted... Yups. I think that most games with auto could benefit from changing it to skip. If you could skip I would probably would've stuck it out, but as it is, RW just feels like a chore :< I feel the same way after farming in PGR sometimes. I like how the option was added to spend more stamina and condense multiple runs into a single one. All you have to do is fight more enemy waves. It will get a sweep option, where you spend stamina and it just skips the stage and gives you the rewards, but we'll have to wait for the Grand Blue event to get that QoL improvement. Also, a Retry button will be added to certain places where it would be useful. I don't remember offhand when that arrives but it's relatively soon, I think. From what I've read up on, we're following either JP or KR in patches and QoL additions, so that's how I know it's in the Grand Blue patch. Grand Blue is the event right after Kowloong Metropolis (where Lucia Plume (ice) drops). That's also the event where we start getting Compositor characters!

And is the only way to get it by choosing it in Target Weapon Research and praying I don't get that other weapon? Sorry, I tend to make a lot of edits! lol The targeted weapon gacha is not the only way to the weapon but is the fastest and most efficient method. The normal weapon gacha has no way to focus-pull, so you could get anything. I'd say use the non targeted one when you save up enough normal tickets from log-ins and stick with the targeted gacha for weapons. For Alpha, you want either Sakura for a 6* weapon or Kuji no Sada for a 5* weapon. A character's 6* weapon is preferred but you can live without it. Nearly every 6* weapon is meant to go on a specific character; that's why they're called signature weapons. The only exception is the katana Sirius. Also, the weapon gachas always stay the same, so there's no need to rush it here. Not all 6* weapons are the greatest though.

ennuigamer 11/15/21 11:08:59 PM #97 | Whoa! You got her already! That was fast! Yeah, everything is for sword wave on Alpha. When they come up, try to collect some 6* memories for her. The bottom row, slots 4-6, should be leveled first for you since they increase ATK and DEF. The top row, slots 1-3, level HP and crit. The ones to look out for on Alpha are 2 Darwins in the top row and 4 of either Patton or Frederick in the remaining slots. Frederick takes some managing, you have to do 3 dodges or 2 dodges and sword wave stance to get the full boost. Patton is just "throw it on and go". If you're farming 6* memories and aren't getting what you want, you can recycle them for 50 6* memory shards each. 150 shards lets you get ANY 6* memory you want in the Shop. YugiNoob posted... Wait, where's her weapon? Is it a big game changer? Or even a moderate one; I really like Alpha and am willing to spend a little more on her.

I have to give PGR credit though; its really creative. Ive never seen a gacha with so many other alternate methods of play. Like playing as that weird graffiti robot, or riding on the motorcycle with Lucia and Bianca. I like playing as the bosses. I can go "Mwahaha! Let's see how YOU like it now!" And it's almost impossible to lose on those stages, so it's a nice break from the other, tougher stages and free black cards on your first run. It feels great. The other part I really like about the game is the music. The BGMs are done by the same studio as the one behind GFL's music, Vanguard Sound Studio. The other part I like is the skill-driven gameplay. While you have the usual option to just get OP and bulldoze everything, you can get through almost any stage with good tactics and smart use of your dodges. It's kinda like Arknights that way.

Kal'tsit is also pronounced in the game as either "Kelsey" or "Kalsey". Something like that. The "t" at the end is silent. An unusual name but whatever... >_> YugiNoob posted... Man that was kinda annoying. In PGR there was that mission on the train and it said the objective was to beat that bigass robot thing with the weird eyes. But that wasnt the real objective since you couldnt actually hit it; you had to kill those tiny grunts. Luckily I went after them first since I hate fighting bosses when they have grunts. But come on, dont make such a misleading thing like that :< Yeah, writing that as the objective was odd. I don't think it should have been stated like that either. But at least the mission was simple enough to beat. Lucia Plume's banner will not be in this upcoming event, Nona Ouroboros, but is tied to the event right after, Kowloong Metropolis. That's more than 5 weeks away, which should be enough time to save up enough black cards to guarantee getting Plume. The order goes: event with an A rank character banner, event with an S rank character banner, rinse and repeat. This current event, Eternal Engine, is the debut of S Bianca (and A Sophia, I guess) while Nona Ouroboros is the debut of A Chrome. Even after Kowloong Metropolis starts, you'll have around 4 or 5 weeks to pull on the Plume banner. How many black cards do you have now? Do you have War Zone and Pain Cage unlocked yet? The sooner you get those two opened up, the sooner your ability to farm black cards will go way up. If you're struggling on any stage leading up to that, I may be able to walk you through it. It helps if you abuse supports at least; they provide some extra damage and a nice distraction for the enemies. I used the starter characters up until the middle of chapter 8, so I'm pretty familiar with the struggles leading up to that point. The good thing about Nona Ouroboros is that the event exchange is much cheaper, so you can stock up on 6* memories and basic items you need. Make good use of it from the 17th onward! --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort. If imitators liked hard work, they wouldn't be imitators. |

ennuigamer 11/10/21 5:51:40 PM #367 | You're Bunny, right? I got your request and added you. Lv36 already? You've made some progress! I take it you also made it past 5-7 normal? That's what you need to get the essentials unlocked for your weeklies and the bulk of your black card income, War Zone (mob rush) and Phantom Pain Cage (boss challenges). The next milestone after that will be account lv40 so you can participate in most event stages. The roguelite mode, APUS, requires lv55 when it's open and Project Babel (think Arknights' Contingency Contract) is lv60 for the few times a year it shows up. All that's left in the unlock roadmap as a new player is lv65 for Golden Vortex (i.e. more one-time black cards), pushing through to clear 8-6 hidden to open all of the supply stages (they're not as good as event exchanges and stage drops but it's there), and finally lv80 at some point down the road to be able to level Constructs all the way to the hard cap. If I remember correctly, I was able to get to lv60+ in around a couple of weeks or so. It shouldn't take too long to get everything unlocked. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort. If imitators liked hard work, they wouldn't be imitators. |

ennuigamer 11/09/21 12:24:01 PM #319 | YugiNoob posted... I dont think I added anyone yet. I didnt even know you could use other peoples characters lol Yeah, a support character is randomly pulled from your friend list and some strangers if you turn the option on. You replied right after I made an edit to my post! lol In case you don't see it, I added one extra video with the Nier collab characters so you can see them in action. I know the collab hitting global is a long way off but it's something to look forward to, I think. They're a strong team that completely takes over the physical stages in War Zone for optimal scoring. --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.

ennuigamer 11/09/21 12:11:03 PM #316 | YugiNoob posted... Any suggestions on how to beat 3-11 in PGR? Its that boss with the visor thingy who magically makes explodey stuff out of ground in the mansion. The suggested BP is 1,300 and Im only 67 points below that but everyone still dies in 2 hits :< 3-11...3-11....I have to look that one up... Ah, Roseblade! You'll be fighting this guy a lot in the future, mainly in the Phantom Pain Cage, so this is a good opportunity to get used to his attacks. I'd say this is where Rexlent's boss guides really are useful. https://youtu.be/MTpJ7v4wCdA the music you hear during his explanation of Roseblade's attacks is from the Nier Automata collab. It's called "Structures" if you want to look it up. and one for Roland, since you'll have to fight him right after: https://youtu.be/h-3LM9usBbs I struggled with these two bosses for a bit myself, so I found these videos very helpful to learn the attack tells and dodge timing. You can beat stages even if your BP is well below the recommended level as long as you get good at dodging attacks. I got to chapter 7 with my BP around 2000 points lower than what was recommended. If you have the option to turn on Support when picking the units you want to send out, I found that to be helpful to clear stuff. Did you add me as a friend in the game? You can borrow my Alpha if you want. Your next roadblock stage will likely be against the Royal Guard enemy at 5-8 due to this one having regeneration and shields. It's mainly a DPS check stage and the guard doesn't have many attacks for you to learn. There are guides out there for 5-8 I can refer you to but posting those now would be premature. You may not end up having trouble with that one. Speaking of the Nier collab, here's a sample of gameplay of the collab's characters, 2B, 9S, and A2. https://youtu.be/McnCrGPlJGE --- The best way to avoid imitation is to make that imitation take effort.
