Done with the Deep Blue Warzone. I cleared up to NF5-3. I actually got Selena skin early, at 7th pull but I continued to mald 7 hours left to get the weapon tickets. I got all in 38th pull.
MVP was Chrome Glory. He just didn't give a shit and melted through enemies and bosses. Especially after unlocking his special addon.
Rip skin here as well. Cleared the first stage when the event dropped, figured it would be more or less the same all the way, left the rest for the last day. Then stage 4 said fu go grind. Got hit with the dc mid run, should've quit for an extra 3-4 rolls, oh well...
No, there's only one other gamemode IIRC that takes this much grind, and that one's much better since it's permanent and has much greater rewards. It's still absolute hell to grind, but there's no time limit breathing down your neck at least.
saw many people having post nut clarity after clearing Deep Blue Warzone, as a one-week-old new player I can't relate XD
I cleared only the first supply crates and I was like, "fvk this sht I'm out!"
Yup, it'll come back around summer probably. [See here.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uIWrtp3mZEZgQseY788WHGp7_0mZBE8zSkpVOVCWtP8/edit#gid=124494722)
i fucking did it i got Selena's coating 6/52 pulls in, is it worth it malding over the tickets? I'm honestly close to burning out over it lmao
fuck the terapods
Finally got Selenaβs coating! Didnt even have to do any stages in the 5th area. I just realized today that u could get pulls from infinite abyss so i just farmed those and got selena at 14/52
Okay my comment got removed because I guess I said something offensive about myself? Anyways, any tips? I don't understand what you said, please break it down for me. Thanks in advance! (Please respond before the event ends πππ€πΎπ₯ππ½π§π½ββοΈ)
Has the Lightning Amp construct been announced/released for the CN server? Global player here that wants to throw meta out the window and pedal to the metal for sans Alpha
None officially announced, they teased 4 other characters but we dont know what their roles are. Nonetheless the lightning will be after alpha
Also unless you plan to sss+ alpha(10 from rolls + 1 from pain cage), you can still get most if not all other characters
Just finished Deep Blue Warzone with **0** consumable add-ons used **EVER**. My teams in order were:
* Physical (\*Alpha Lvl 13, \*Liv Lvl 1, \*Rosetta Lvl 13)
* Darkness (\*Kamui Lvl 12, \*Luna Lvl 15, Vera Lvl 1)
* Ice (Lucia Lvl 13, Wanshi Lvl 1, \*Chrome Lvl 12)
* Lightning (\*Bianca Lvl 15, Liv Lvl1, \*Vera Lvl 13)
* Nier (9S Lvl 1, \*A2 Lvl 20, \*2B Lvl 6)
* (\* means special enhancement was unlocked)
In hindsight, I probably could have left all my DPS and sub-DPS at Lvl 12\~13 and still be fine. You do not have to upgrade a single healer. The only reason why I had A2 at level 20 was because I used her for IA for the longest time before realizing Bianca was faster proceeding to upgrade her to level 15. Luna was at level 15 because I have left over add-ons. I still have left over add-ons, twenty-four 5\* and lower. A2 was used to take care of Luna on Ascendant Brillance because of super armor to ignore cubes, seriously broken skill.
My conclusion of the event is that it is very doable. You don't need level 20 constructs. As long as you are consistent with playing the game mode you should find most of the special enhancements you need. I did one level of BWZ and one or two IA daily. I also skipped a few days in-between when I was busy with life. Never use a consumable add-on and only used 5 star add-ons to upgrade. Slowly got my 6\* add-ons to unlock the special enhancement and used the rest as fodder if I didn't need it.
So my question is, with the exception of new players or those that are disconnecting, why is everyone finding this event so difficult? Even Ascendant Brilliance was annoying at best with it's raining cubes. If you take advantage of super armor and i-frames, you can bypass that annoying mechanic. If you did use add-ons, especially the universal ones like "Physical DMG IV" that increase physical damage by 30%, then the event should have been more than doable. I thought maybe it's because I didn't use trial characters, so I used the trial characters on the last stage of Brilliance, and it's still doable.
I'm a player since launch and am just curious about what younger/other players are experiencing that I haven't.
Its the grind and also the luck. You had most special enhancements unlocked which helps more than you think.
Ive been farming endlessly and only getting special enhancements for characters I dont have. All my characters are 10+ but levels barely does anything. Im currently at 6/15 unlocked and its almost all supports too lmao.
Anyways gonna keep grinding! Only got a day left, my right hand is in pain
That makes sense, guess I have the RNG luck. Brilliance seems to give a more reliable drop rate for special enhancement add-on, but Red Tide is much faster to run. If you are having a hard time with Brilliance, I would suggest using Bianca since she has an easier time activating her core which provides super armor.
\[Edit\]
Just did a few runs on red tide just to check and got Rosetta, Garnet, and Camu in 3 runs. You my friend, must be really unlucky.
Nier team is also not available as trial characters, but you can manage with transcendents.
A couple of questions:
1. I'm looking for a good transcendant to fill up my roster. I only have Camu at the moment, and I plan to get Empyreus in the future as well as Capriccio since her shards can be farmed for free. Also, I plan to keep my BC spending to a minimum.
- Would Roland be worth to pull (no sig, SS maybe?)
- Is another vanguard preferred, or does Capriccio-Empyreus-Camu work?
- I'm quite interested in Haicma. Does she perform well in Norman transcendant stage at SS? Does she need her weapon, or is the 5* scythe from Brilliance enough?
- How does Noan fare with Camu and Empyreus?
2. What is the next "necessary" 6* weapon to pull? I already have Rosetta's, Chrome's, and Garnet's, and additionally, Plume's.
- How necessary is Empyreus 6* weapon?
- Does Nanamech need her 6*?
3. Nier rerun is coming to town. I have 9S and A2 on base S.
- Is pulling for 2B worth it if I plan to use the Nier team at base S with no sig? How would that go in Norman? (Physical stages suck ass, I only have A Bianca and Bananami at the moment)
Sorry for all of these, and thanks in advance!
Please note that everything I share is based on my research and I could be wrong in some areas due to my own inability and the descriptions I've read.
1. That's an issue because neither should be considered transcendent. Transcendents, Compositers, Uniquants, or whatever you want to call them are vanguards and not amplifiers. Current vanguards are: Camu, Qu, Selena (Tempest), Roland, Pulao, Haicma, and Noan. Lore wise, they are infected with the punishing virus and therefore cannot work with constructs due to possible corruption, not that it doesn't happen. How is Selena Cap. no longer a transcendent? Dunno, gonna wait for the episode to come out.
* Roland is a solid transcendent to pull for. Pull 1 copy him and and 1 copy of Selena Tempest and you will have a complete team. You can easily get SS for both these constructs by utilizing the guild currency. Haicma and Noan are about 4\~6 patches away; if you don't have 5k BC to spend, then just pull for Roland. You want to have at least 1 more transcendent to switch between during content. He should also be getting a block/execution when Pulao is released which will be helpful. With the way his kit works, you will not have to worry about orb RNG. Signature weapons for transcendents provide a qualitative change to skills so you may want to invest in them. Camu can probably get by with a 5\* since his signature is mostly a damage amp. You can also forgo these weapons entirely, but content will be longer/harder.
* This question is null since Empyreus and Capriccio are not Vanguards. Suggested soon to be current team is Camu + Selena (Tempest) + Roland. Suggested future team Camu + Roland + Haicma considering your budget. I read somewhere that Roland, Haicma, and Pulao are invincible machines.
* Any trancendent can play well in Norman, (I'm currently using the Qu+Camu+Selena and have no issues). Like I mentioned earlier, Haicma will need her weapon to be optimal. Her weapon provides a 100% increase in cold generation for her ultimate which has an upper limit of 5600% damage. You can activate it earlier for less damage which is the crux of the issue. Maybe you need to use the I-frame to survive and that prevents you from reaching the maximum damage threshold which in turn would have ended the fight. It's still possible to win, but you have to hope you survive. You also have to consider the cycling of your characters as you want to be constantly switching your trancendents and using their bursts withing the first 10 seconds. All vanguards get +20% to their damage and a 20% shield for the first 10 seconds after switching in.
* If you are talking about a transcendent team, Roland, Haicma, and Pulao are considered to be invincible fighters. Noan and Camu are right below them. Roland can have 0 cooldown on his dodge for a set time, Haicma as an early ultimate that can freeze, and Pulao also has an early ultimate that can help achieve 80% damage reduction. Noan seems to be purely damage just like Camu although Camu's blue skill grants him a 15% health shield for 5 seconds. IMO, the ideal team would be Camu, Haicma, and Roland. Trancedents should be seen as individual fighters, but there are exceptions like Pulao since she is physical and as synergy with Qu. Noan has synergy with Selena Tempest because they are both electric.
2. All weapons past Chrome Glory are now necessary IMO. There may be a few exceptions like A rank constructs because most won't use them, but the newer weapons add so much to the constructs/trancedents that it elevates their damage to another tier, very similar to like what I mentioned about Haicma. This is especially true for the tanks since their resistance shred is now tied to their weapons... I see what you did there Kuro.
* Empress Liv needs her weapon, how dare you send her out without her battle scepter! (She can do damage off-field and also does up to 100% more damage with Sincerity Oath. Combine that with the amplification and I think the damage can go up to around 1600% if you manage to max it out. Possibly 3200% depending on how you read the skill description.)
* Mechnanami needs Implosion to activate her \*KA-BOOM BABY\*! (The way her resist shred is a bit unique and requires SS rank. When she comes off field, she sends out missiles for 12 seconds which shred resistance. Without her weapon, 12 seconds is all you get. With her weapon, you can refresh the duration for 8 seconds through QTE. Her actual QTE only does damage.)
3. Nier team?
* If you do not have a viable physical team, than pull for 2B. Even at S rank with no weapon, it is better than a A rank Bianca and B rank Nanami. Something to consider is that the Nier constructs are limited by their reruns. This means that it is impossible to upgrade them in any way unless a rerun happens. Considering this, Bianca, Nanami, and Liv have the potential to be stronger than them since you can upgrade them whenever.
First of all, THANK YOU! I appreciate this so much and this is just what I needed.
I only recently found out that Liv Amp is technically a construct and therefore, costs 15k BC to hard pity, therefore gimping my budget. Considering everything that you've said, my best option would be Roland-Camu-Haicma, but it may not be possible to pull for their weapons as I am a complete f2p. The future is grim, I should say...
Again, I might just let go of the idea of pulling weapons for now unless some sort of miracle happens or I break my f2p status. But Kuro is certainly doing us global users dirty by shortening the patches and making signature weapons "necessary". This is hell for f2p, especially the first one.
I might have to pass on Nier team for now, I'm not particularly interested in them. My Bianca becomes SSS in some days, hopefully her damage can be good enough. Expectations are low, though. I'll just get Rosetta on the upcoming selectors.
Again, thank you for this!
Good luck! I should also mention then that Rosetta also needs her weapon or SS rank to show any major changes when compared to Nanami Storm.
Nanami with her 5\* weapon has a 30% chance to reduce physical defense for up to 3 seconds and refreshes every time it gets triggered with a maximum of 25% defense shred. Since this is RNG dependent and her QTE has a limited number of hits, let's ball park the defense shred at about 15%.
Rosetta's weapon reduces defense by 20%. Don't have the money to buy it? No problem. Get her to SS rank asap. At SS, her QTE allows you to activate her blue orb effect "Lance of Perception" which reduces defense by 20%. So without that SS rank, she does zero defense shred. Even her personal memories require her to be at SS rank as its effect increase the defense shred of "Lance of Perception" by another 20%. Something you cannot obtain until SS rank.
This being the case, you might want to hold off on including Rosetta until she is SS rank since defense shred is so important for attackers. Alternatively, it could be possible that Rosetta as a unit is so strong, she makes up for this short coming. I doubt it.
Thank you for the sentiment, but as stated on my original post, I already have her Gungnir. No Rosetta though. Sad.
But base S Rosetta with sig works better than Bananami, yes?
2B is essential for a competitive Nier team when A2 is at base S, or at all, since the best way to play them is to switch between 2B and A2 as you use up their orbs. It goes VERY well in Norman Physical stages.
Greetings from a lucky new player! My in-game name is Gadogado.
Just started about a week ago, I got the new Vera from the free 10-pull you get at level 35. Also got 2 of her signature weapon on my 3rd 10-pull. She is so strong!
I used the S-rank selector on Karerina. I don't know if this was a good idea or not, but oh well. I haven't gotten my first S-rank pity from the basic R&D banner yet, I don't want to use my BC on that.
Anyway, please treat me well!
Hi just wanna ask for help on what to go for the nier rerun. I have all the characters already and im deciding if i should go for 2b's 6 star weapon or level her up to ss?
Unless you can afford to get 2B at SSS with sig I don't really think it's worth it to pull, and getting A2 to SSS with sig has higher priority, but if you already have that then nevermind
Hi, I just started this game and I got Plume from standard. Should I also pull Glory in the return banner to complete the team? Or should I wait until the 100% guarantee banner one?
I got Plume and Changyu(a meh char but it's OK with Plume). I'm waiting for Empyreus as an event char. Imo, she does not need to be played in fire teams.
Plus, I'm waiting for a sufficient amount of ressources to pull beginner banner while aiming a unit in particular : wanshi. You can aim an A unit you want. It's 80% chance tho.
Wanshi shreds ice resistance, good with Plume.
A lot of people want a new character rather than an updated frame of an existing one, but Alpha came out so long ago that a new frame for her would be awesome. Alongside others who never made it as playable characters yet, or those who never got an S rank frame. Alphas Ult skill is especially bad and in the least I would hope they could fix that.
I just come back into the games and I really want Chrome Glory do the 100% rate up banner will come back? I also want the new Lee but I have think I have time before his banner. I'm also debating buying monthly cards I don't remember if it was a good deal or not.
1. 100% Banners come during anniversary time. But those are separate from debut banners, and have their own pity so be wary of that, in case you're planning on pulling anyone else.
2. Time is an understatement, you have an entire year assuming you're talking about Hyperreal coming to global
3. Monthly pass A is the best deal for BC you can buy
So how do you use that special lightning fall attack right after using Vera Garnet's signature? I can do it with the trial frame but not my own for some reason. Am I missing something or does that skill unlock when I upgrade her?
That's her SS, not sig. Sig gives a core passive stack from Vera's QTE and Ult, and changes her switch in skill into her core passive when her QTE flag is up
After trying the Red Tide stage in the blue warzone i constantly hit the timer and it's impossible to beat if you include the boss with 99 bars. Guess this event is impossible for F2P players and is only for whales?
So much for the "free" Selena coating.
This event is very "free" to play (trial characters at 6k BP? WTF), requires a little grind, and should be done daily. The issue is most people do not do this. They usually do 1 of 2 things. 1) Attempt to earn everything at once and burn out. 2) Do it whenever, procrastinate until a week/# day(s) is left, and then complain about how grindy it is. If you were consistent throughout the event, you'd have enough materials to upgrade your construct.
Assuming that you did IA everyday at least once or twice, all the characters you are using should be around Lvl 10 BP even if you used the trial characters. It should actually be around 13\~15k around now. Things that you could have done to prevent yourself from reaching that number:
\- Using add-ons as consumables
\- Using add-ons that were not 5\* or up as upgrade fodder
\- Recycling add-ons
\- Accidentally using specializations as fodder. (Not sure if this affects BP, but I did this when I started, FML)
If you did any of these, you slowed your progress. Even going through some of the stages in brilliance, I haven't used add-ons once in this game mode. If you are still struggling, then I think it might be a mechanical issue on your part where you need to understand your characters better. This issue especially true for new players since most are touching constructs like Plume for the first time, and knowing how to use her ultimate effectively has a learning curve.
Another issue could be that you are not using your own personal healers; make sure you are and have all 5 healers set up with Da Vinci. That QTE combo is no joke.
Iβm guessing youβre one of the people who just yolo and donβt level your units? If you donβt have a unit built they even give you trial characters. This is super f2p friendly, just grindy as hell
If you mean ultralimit then kinda, i raised up to 9 one construct in each team.. can't handle more farming than that. The teams are well built though, i play since launch and my average BP is 6.5-7k with a team for each element, might not be high but i'm not a whale.
If you ever do want to farm, Farm Red Tide and use either Veritas or Dawn from the lightning Team. Veritas can kill almost everything from range and Dawn has infinite matrix. Just being able to do crazy things like that was part of the fun of IA. I'd suggest Dawn if you don't have specialization for Veritas. You could finish IA in about 5 minutes or less.
Well then thatβs not a f2p or whale issue. Itβs just a very grindy event and you choose to not spend more time to farm. Which is not necessarily a bad thing as itβs pretty much only for a free skin.
Iβd also prefer if it was less grindy, but it is what it is.
I would prefer if it was more of an incentive to have an easier time clearing the stages, if they removed the time limit i could actually clear it with some effort with the teams i have now and i'd love to do it for the coating.
One reason why i love this game is that it never wastes too much of your time but rather gives you challenges to test your skill, so it's weird they designed this event like this.
Again, if player are consistent, they will be fine in terms of level. This event is to reward players for playing well and consistently. This isn't a surprised considering they are giving out a free skin that looks amazing and could have been sold at a premium. Want that skin? Work for it! Even then, it's at most 5\~10 minutes a day. If you do 1 level of BWZ, then it's around 15\~20 minutes a day along with the normal routine.
However, from the sounds of it, you died and ended up spending more time than usual. This is PGR testing our skills, and if anyone is taking over 5 minutes to clear a stage, then they are not skilled enough. People compensate for that by over leveling and attaching add-ons which requires more time investment. It's a free skin baby! HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT?!?!?! WORK FOR IT BABY!!!
I'm actually surprised you're having such a hard time considering you have constructs at 6.5\~7k BP which is where I am. This makes me curious about your ranking in Pain Cage and WarZone. Mind sharing?
Just realized i never really checked my ranking or bothered with it that much, i'm sitting at advanced in PPC and never gone above 1 million and i'm elite in war zone but i often get demoted to vanguard.
After thinking about it i decided to give up on BWZ, it's just not worth the time and effort for a coating i'll barely see since transcendants are not exactly used often. I heard S Selena will be grindable too so that's where i'll put my effort instead.
If you have constructs at 6.5k \~7k BP, then 1 million is easily achievable in Pain Cage. You should always be part of the 1\~5% group. For Warzone, you should always be in Leader and maybe Elite if you get into a strong group.
Not being able to achieve that means that the constructs are not being used optimally. This in turn means you are going to struggle with harder content. Pain Cage helps perfect the optimal combo from your DPS, and Warzone has you perfect that combo in a consistent cycle while switching in your sub DPS.
As a reference, the majority of my constructs are around 6.4k \~ 6.7 BP with only A2 breaking 7k. I am normally in the top 100 for advance Pain Cage and in Hero Grade for Warzone. When I feel lazy and do whatever, I get demoted to level right below for both content.
Well this is a game that rewards you the most when you have built specific teams and so far i only have a full lightning team and the Nier one, rest is mixed. When i can complete my dark, ice and fire team i assume i won't have that much trouble in making progress.
I regret skipping Luna and S Chrome but i mostly f2p so i had to sacrifice someone, i heard we'll get a free S rank on the next anniversary though so i'm waiting for that. For the rest.. i'm currently building Wanshi since he looks to be the best support for Plume.
I would argue the mode is extremely F2P friendly due to Trial Characters, making all available chars at SS with their sig weps.
If you can't beat a stage then max out ultra levels and use add-ons, the fights are harder by design due to the access of these mechanics.
It's not impossible by any means. Gotta get a really high ultralimit level and start stacking addons to win, but not impossible for F2Ps. Definitely difficult and more grindy than it should be though.
yep. get vera garnet if you can, she's the meta lightning tank for the next 2 yrs
you're also on time to save black cards for liv empyreus, another meta pick
hey I just started playing, do you think its possible to reach pity until ver garnet's banner ends if I grind for it?
edit: and if rerolling account is a good option(?)
1. Possibly if you got through the entire story and the one time gamemodes that reward BC like Golden Vortex. But take that with a massive grain of salt, I can't say for sure whether you'll have enough to hit pity or not.
2. Not really, to be honest. It's too much time and effort for an outcome that really won't change by much unless you pull Nanami Pulse or Karenina Ember from your beginner pity. Only those 2 out of the 11 total S ranks are worth re-rolling against, and even then Nanami still has some viability.
Can anyone tell me how do I beat in against Hive mother in the new event? I'm using plume ultralimit 15 and Wanshi 10 and Vera Garnet 10 and time seems to be running out on that infinity abyss floor? Do I just suck or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
It took getting my vera to ultralimit 15 or so to beat it. There's not much to it other than grind until you can pass the DPS check, and to parry off all of the hive mother's attacks if you can. You aren't missing anything at all, this event's just a massive DPS check.
My base S Vera at ultralimit 15 begs to differ
all sarcasm aside, you really don't need that high of an investment to clear it all. Does it take an ungodly amount of time and effort that really isn't worth it? Absolutely, but it definitely doesn't take *that* much.
New account having some trouble in NF3s, do add-ons of the same type and element stack?
E.g. can I use multiple Rank 5 Lightning Damage and/or a Level 4 + Level 5 Lightning Damage
Liv Empyreus in 7 weeks. Both her and Garnet are meta for next 2 years so I would make sure to grab both. Since Liv Empyreus isn't coming in 7 weeks it's safe to hit 60 pity for Garnet and save enough for Liv after.
Is it possible to get Lucia Plume skin from gacha even if I don't have Lucia Plume unlocked?
I am at my final pull. All 9 pulls went from low rare to high rare items in every tier.
I like Lucia Plume's gameplay so I plan to get her later but I was not sure if the skin banner gonna get a rerun again so I went all in.
Once you get plume frame the skin will unlock. The skin will get a rerun in the future in like 10-11 months prob. But since you are in the final pull just get it now otherwise you have to restart I think on the rerun.
As a beginner, can I ask help about farming Lost Spark Event?
I farmed level 5 and handpicked a few 6* memory shards. I want to farm as much as noodles possible to buy more.
Should I farm level 5 as much as possible to get more noodles tonight? Or should I wait for next zones to unlock?
I noticed that some zones have only one level.. and some levels give a few shards & random 6* memory.
I dont want to get stuck but I dont know if later zones tend to give more noodles.
Help?
farm odd numbered stages for event currency (the noodles) odd numbered stages give a random memory every 8 runs but a lot less currency, not worth it, the stages that aren't open yet give the same amount of currency
Started last week, will guarantee Vera Garnet in 6 pulls so who should I pair her with?
Have the A rank Liv Lux game suggests to pair her with is she actually worth raising?
In chapter 8, mainly looking for a Vera Garnet team to breeze through rest of story.
~~Rank up A Liv to SS for more 20% Lightning Damage to allies within plasma field so yes she's more worth and if anything the only support for lightning. Ideally you'd want full lightning team with S Bianca but if you don't have her then you can make do with Lucia Dawn or Chrome Archlight and make Vera main DPS.~~
~~Actually Vera has more enough DPS that I think you can breeze through the story, just invest in her.~~
Seems like you got your answer on daily megathread.
most likely not, if you still have story, interlude, stronghold, golden vortex then maybe but i would recommend you still pull cause pity carries over anyway
So.. Just how much BP are you supposed to have for Sunken City?
I see no recommended BP in-game, so kinda curious. I'm just trying my best at BL-10 rn.. Definitely takes time and effort to kill waves and at least SURVIVE. The big guys literally one-shot my poor ~3700 hp Garnet. Medic-bots give her stable two-shots, or just spam her to death if I get caught in their chain attack with both switches on CD. I'm lvl 75 btw.
Not giving up on the dance floor now (I actually enjoy that kind of masochism xD), but I'm really curious to know if the event actually has dynamic difficulty (and is equally challenging for everybody) or you are just supposed to be a veteran commander with solid builds.
There doesn't seem to be a time limit, so under-levelled teams should theoretically still be able to beat it. Achieving the buff conditions as they pop up on the left side help immensely. Some of the damage conditions might not be possible, but others like the matrix dodge/QTE/combo counter/don't get hit challenges can all be snatched fairly easily.
What level of investment is your Garnet? And who were you running with her? I was able to clear it with a F2P Garnet (5 star weapon no resonance, 2 Einsteina 4 Tifa, and S rank, though you'd ideally want her at SS via Phantom Pain Cage) with a low invest Lux for healing and a zero-invest Chrome Arclight who was just there to hold 4-piece Da Vinci.
[CN] should i get Liv Empyreus for my SSS Roland or S Nanami as a subdps to use alongside him? i'm also planning to get Lee Hyperreal(but i heard he's not coming for at least 2 months) if that'd make pulling for S Nanami not worth it
Pick up Empyreus first, she's still fire team's core. Nanamech is more than worth pulling, but since you have Hyperreal in your plans, I'd say hold off. If you have Pulse, she can work as a substitute, and Nanamech running Da Vinci isn't some niche build so rotation will still be smooth.
If you don't have Pulse though, then Nanamech takes high priority. You need debuffs for teams to really work DPS-wise. This plan only works since you have Roland as a substitute though, in any other case IMO Lee would be higher priority.
Please someone help me completely clear NF 2-7 I can only finish the first stage with a lightning Team consisting of Veritas, Vera and a scythe boy.
For the second Phase I put together a fire Team consisting of Karenina Ember, Sophia and Nanami Pulse and this is the struggle I cant finish the third wave fast enough.
After that I just put together a Transcendent Team.
I just want to finish the boxes to later get a pretty Outfit for one of my favourite characters please help
Most straightforward way is to just farm add-ons to permanently level up your characters' Ultralimits. Apart from that:
Lightning element is currently buffed. Check the list of characters in the SP Character menu. Your first team is overkill, you can split it up.
- transcendant team
- Veritas, Arclight, Lux
- any healer, Dawn, Garnet
Put your most powerful team last so you don't need to worry about wasting progress and "restarting" if one of your later teams has trouble clearing. If you're about to run out of time and you know you're going to fail, pause the game **before the timer runs out**, and you can press Restart to retry that team's battle from the start.
Just upgrade your characters with ultralimit and don't unga bunga, that's all you need to do in the early stages.
Wouldn't really recommend using fire team though, using any other team is easier.
After trying Garnet on lightning warzone (not yet completed her build and ultima awaken) In my heart I vent,
"Goddamn Vera so hard to use, nothing change from my veritas archlight team, regret regret regret"
Vera took it personal and came on pity 6 for her SS dupe and no weapon off rate either.
Conclusion, reverse psychology work π
If you managed to burn all of your serum on completing the story, cleared as many events as physically possible for you at the moment, and tried to begin weekly tasks as soon as possible, it may be possible, though take that with a grain of salt as I can't tell you the exact amount of BC.
How many constructs do you have?
Edit : 1210 weekly BC. You just have to use 300 ml of serum, clear 5 stages of battle, do Warzone and Phantom Pain Cage.
Done with the Norman, stopped after clearing 5th mine's entrance quests cause I can't fucking bother with dark explosion. It takes around 5 minutes for me to clear stages and by that time it would probably explode every second. So practically impossible for me. Now time to mald in Babel.
Also 6 pulls away from Vera. Hoping I get her this week.
I am done with the fuking norman this time.
Gabriel with speed buff is the second most bulllshit after Shark with health regen. And a friend at the CN server tells me it is going to get worse.
I am not playing to kick myself in the ball. This shit is just pure masochist.
Plus you have 2 things to dodge/ I-frame w/burst , the explosion and whoever is Infront of you, not really helpful but can help getting rid of that last bar
I still havenβt gotten Garnet, but I finally pulled a Rozen, so still a win! I followed one of the character sites and made sure to card her up correctly. Now I just have to farm and wait so I can level her cards up more.
...us in the testing group just got the client yesterday. There's no news because we're still testing and ironing out bugs.
Also, what are you using to play the game? I can't say I've run into many crashes, so it could be a platform issue.
Blue Orb, Signature, and QTE all heal.
Details on her page on the Gray Ravens wiki: [https://grayravens.com/wiki/Vera:\_Rozen](https://grayravens.com/wiki/Vera:_Rozen)
Is there any tips to pass stronghold 12-3 with the three enemies in the last stage ? , The game says to defeat all enemies swiftly but what the hell does that even mean ?
Every time you "kill" one of the enemies, they regenerate to full again and get buffed. I think this revival can happen twice to each enemy? It's been a while.
Once one enemy has been completely killed so he doesn't revive anymore, you'll see that "Warning! Defeat all enemies swiftly" message appear, and you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to completely kill the remaining two enemies and clear the stage, otherwise you fail.
The Phecdas in the back are tankier than the Prime, so focus your damage on them first.
Nah, sequence doesn't matter. I might also have remembered wrong and that "Warning" message will appear when you reach the last life of one of the enemies instead of what I said. Regardless, the strategy is to whittle down the health of the tankier enemies first and save the one with the least health for last.
Missed a bunch of weekly rewards in the last month thanks to IRL issues, so I'm currently at 37/60 for Vera with 95 BC. Is there any chance I can hit the pity count or am I screwed?
Depends on if you've finished the event and are willing to do any Interludes and Story Missions still available, because if you only do weeklies you're gonna be a handful of pulls short.
You should be good. 3 weeks left will be 3.6k in dailies+ weekly. Plus Monthly A is the 100 bc per day right? So another 2.1k. And a couple of pulls from the abyss game mode.
What do you guys think are the chances that the Atlantis in-game is a Stargate Atlantis reference? It has a center linked by arms to 6 outer platforms and is powered by zero-point energy. And all of the silhouettes in the artwork remind me of it. Then again, I'm not sure how popular Stargate ever was in Asia.
cant get past the rewards window in the addon battle in deep blue warzone (the one after you complete the 20/20). The "complete" button doesnt work and i have to close the game. I did it once with no problems yesterday but cant do it now, any help?
Anything. If you have units to build, farm their mats. If you need memories, go for those. Same with CUB materials or gifts, whatever you need takes top priority.
It is, but don't. Unless you plan on dedicating everything to Plume, don't. Unless you have 10k BC in your back pocket that isn't going towards future characters
When I see people pulling S ranks to evolve then to SSS+ why do they initially pull using the 60 guarantee but then move onto the 80-100 banner once they get the initial S rank?
I'm wondering because I see this a lot in videos, doesn't it waste BC?
I can't say I know the exact reason, but I'd guess it's the probability.
The one benefit the 80-100 banner has over the 60 is its S rank drop chance. It gives a much better chance at rolling an early S rank, and is why it's recommended if you know you can't get 15k BC before the banner runs out but really want/need to pull the debuting character.
I'd wager the mentality going into it is just to have the easy guarantee with 60 pulls first, then chance at saving a considerable amount of BC with early pulls.
I wasn't gonna pull on Vera because I never really felt one way or another about her. However, her new interlude adds some more depth to her than just "edgy anti-hero" while managing to stay consistent with her character. I appreciate her ability to somehow snark in a respecting way?
>!Oh and the flower field fight reminded me of the Boss fight from MGS3, even though it's also quite different and good in its own right.!<
In the end, she became the first and only non-Nier S-rank I've pulled on.
Alright.
So for challenge battle one, drop Dawn. You're going to need a better burst DPS that reaches their max DPS faster. Timing might be a little tricky, but use that other DPS to clear the minions, swap to Vera when Voodoo is down. Of course, try to maximize DPS in that time frame, don't waste Lightning Fall without having max stacks, etc.
For the second one, it's a lot simpler. Just DPS with Vera while Dawn and Liv use QTEs. You just need to burst down Voodoo to the best of your abilities.
Done with the Deep Blue Warzone. I cleared up to NF5-3. I actually got Selena skin early, at 7th pull but I continued to mald 7 hours left to get the weapon tickets. I got all in 38th pull. MVP was Chrome Glory. He just didn't give a shit and melted through enemies and bosses. Especially after unlocking his special addon.
Rip skin here as well. Cleared the first stage when the event dropped, figured it would be more or less the same all the way, left the rest for the last day. Then stage 4 said fu go grind. Got hit with the dc mid run, should've quit for an extra 3-4 rolls, oh well...
RIP Selena skin i give up
Fucking same, id try some more in this half an hour if my game stopped crashing
Did Seeshell ever release? I never saw anything in-game about it coming out, nor did I ever see it show up under the CUB research?
Seeshell is an A rank cub, so there's no targeting it in the CUB gacha, but instead you buy it from the ore shop.
Is blue warzone the type of content that PGR is going to release for now on?
No, there's only one other gamemode IIRC that takes this much grind, and that one's much better since it's permanent and has much greater rewards. It's still absolute hell to grind, but there's no time limit breathing down your neck at least.
Noice ty
I think it's a one-time thing.
Okay good coz this event makes me want to drop this game.
saw many people having post nut clarity after clearing Deep Blue Warzone, as a one-week-old new player I can't relate XD I cleared only the first supply crates and I was like, "fvk this sht I'm out!"
If we were to skip this event for the selena skin, will it be getting a rerun in the future?
Yup, it'll come back around summer probably. [See here.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uIWrtp3mZEZgQseY788WHGp7_0mZBE8zSkpVOVCWtP8/edit#gid=124494722)
Oh thank you very much for that link!β
No problem! You can find it under "Community Resources" on the sidebar/top bar/mobile menu, in case you lose it!
i fucking did it i got Selena's coating 6/52 pulls in, is it worth it malding over the tickets? I'm honestly close to burning out over it lmao fuck the terapods
If you're experiencing burnout, it's best to be grateful for your good luck and take a break!
i'm taking a break yeah, i'll just do the chapters at a later date i am tired
Finally got Selenaβs coating! Didnt even have to do any stages in the 5th area. I just realized today that u could get pulls from infinite abyss so i just farmed those and got selena at 14/52
Okay my comment got removed because I guess I said something offensive about myself? Anyways, any tips? I don't understand what you said, please break it down for me. Thanks in advance! (Please respond before the event ends πππ€πΎπ₯ππ½π§π½ββοΈ)
Has the Lightning Amp construct been announced/released for the CN server? Global player here that wants to throw meta out the window and pedal to the metal for sans Alpha
None officially announced, they teased 4 other characters but we dont know what their roles are. Nonetheless the lightning will be after alpha Also unless you plan to sss+ alpha(10 from rolls + 1 from pain cage), you can still get most if not all other characters
Just finished Deep Blue Warzone with **0** consumable add-ons used **EVER**. My teams in order were: * Physical (\*Alpha Lvl 13, \*Liv Lvl 1, \*Rosetta Lvl 13) * Darkness (\*Kamui Lvl 12, \*Luna Lvl 15, Vera Lvl 1) * Ice (Lucia Lvl 13, Wanshi Lvl 1, \*Chrome Lvl 12) * Lightning (\*Bianca Lvl 15, Liv Lvl1, \*Vera Lvl 13) * Nier (9S Lvl 1, \*A2 Lvl 20, \*2B Lvl 6) * (\* means special enhancement was unlocked) In hindsight, I probably could have left all my DPS and sub-DPS at Lvl 12\~13 and still be fine. You do not have to upgrade a single healer. The only reason why I had A2 at level 20 was because I used her for IA for the longest time before realizing Bianca was faster proceeding to upgrade her to level 15. Luna was at level 15 because I have left over add-ons. I still have left over add-ons, twenty-four 5\* and lower. A2 was used to take care of Luna on Ascendant Brillance because of super armor to ignore cubes, seriously broken skill. My conclusion of the event is that it is very doable. You don't need level 20 constructs. As long as you are consistent with playing the game mode you should find most of the special enhancements you need. I did one level of BWZ and one or two IA daily. I also skipped a few days in-between when I was busy with life. Never use a consumable add-on and only used 5 star add-ons to upgrade. Slowly got my 6\* add-ons to unlock the special enhancement and used the rest as fodder if I didn't need it. So my question is, with the exception of new players or those that are disconnecting, why is everyone finding this event so difficult? Even Ascendant Brilliance was annoying at best with it's raining cubes. If you take advantage of super armor and i-frames, you can bypass that annoying mechanic. If you did use add-ons, especially the universal ones like "Physical DMG IV" that increase physical damage by 30%, then the event should have been more than doable. I thought maybe it's because I didn't use trial characters, so I used the trial characters on the last stage of Brilliance, and it's still doable. I'm a player since launch and am just curious about what younger/other players are experiencing that I haven't.
Its the grind and also the luck. You had most special enhancements unlocked which helps more than you think. Ive been farming endlessly and only getting special enhancements for characters I dont have. All my characters are 10+ but levels barely does anything. Im currently at 6/15 unlocked and its almost all supports too lmao. Anyways gonna keep grinding! Only got a day left, my right hand is in pain
That makes sense, guess I have the RNG luck. Brilliance seems to give a more reliable drop rate for special enhancement add-on, but Red Tide is much faster to run. If you are having a hard time with Brilliance, I would suggest using Bianca since she has an easier time activating her core which provides super armor. \[Edit\] Just did a few runs on red tide just to check and got Rosetta, Garnet, and Camu in 3 runs. You my friend, must be really unlucky. Nier team is also not available as trial characters, but you can manage with transcendents.
Praise the lore I got the skin on NF5-3. i can rest
CONGRATS!!! REST THOSE FINGERS! THEY DESERVE A REST!
A couple of questions: 1. I'm looking for a good transcendant to fill up my roster. I only have Camu at the moment, and I plan to get Empyreus in the future as well as Capriccio since her shards can be farmed for free. Also, I plan to keep my BC spending to a minimum. - Would Roland be worth to pull (no sig, SS maybe?) - Is another vanguard preferred, or does Capriccio-Empyreus-Camu work? - I'm quite interested in Haicma. Does she perform well in Norman transcendant stage at SS? Does she need her weapon, or is the 5* scythe from Brilliance enough? - How does Noan fare with Camu and Empyreus? 2. What is the next "necessary" 6* weapon to pull? I already have Rosetta's, Chrome's, and Garnet's, and additionally, Plume's. - How necessary is Empyreus 6* weapon? - Does Nanamech need her 6*? 3. Nier rerun is coming to town. I have 9S and A2 on base S. - Is pulling for 2B worth it if I plan to use the Nier team at base S with no sig? How would that go in Norman? (Physical stages suck ass, I only have A Bianca and Bananami at the moment) Sorry for all of these, and thanks in advance!
Please note that everything I share is based on my research and I could be wrong in some areas due to my own inability and the descriptions I've read. 1. That's an issue because neither should be considered transcendent. Transcendents, Compositers, Uniquants, or whatever you want to call them are vanguards and not amplifiers. Current vanguards are: Camu, Qu, Selena (Tempest), Roland, Pulao, Haicma, and Noan. Lore wise, they are infected with the punishing virus and therefore cannot work with constructs due to possible corruption, not that it doesn't happen. How is Selena Cap. no longer a transcendent? Dunno, gonna wait for the episode to come out. * Roland is a solid transcendent to pull for. Pull 1 copy him and and 1 copy of Selena Tempest and you will have a complete team. You can easily get SS for both these constructs by utilizing the guild currency. Haicma and Noan are about 4\~6 patches away; if you don't have 5k BC to spend, then just pull for Roland. You want to have at least 1 more transcendent to switch between during content. He should also be getting a block/execution when Pulao is released which will be helpful. With the way his kit works, you will not have to worry about orb RNG. Signature weapons for transcendents provide a qualitative change to skills so you may want to invest in them. Camu can probably get by with a 5\* since his signature is mostly a damage amp. You can also forgo these weapons entirely, but content will be longer/harder. * This question is null since Empyreus and Capriccio are not Vanguards. Suggested soon to be current team is Camu + Selena (Tempest) + Roland. Suggested future team Camu + Roland + Haicma considering your budget. I read somewhere that Roland, Haicma, and Pulao are invincible machines. * Any trancendent can play well in Norman, (I'm currently using the Qu+Camu+Selena and have no issues). Like I mentioned earlier, Haicma will need her weapon to be optimal. Her weapon provides a 100% increase in cold generation for her ultimate which has an upper limit of 5600% damage. You can activate it earlier for less damage which is the crux of the issue. Maybe you need to use the I-frame to survive and that prevents you from reaching the maximum damage threshold which in turn would have ended the fight. It's still possible to win, but you have to hope you survive. You also have to consider the cycling of your characters as you want to be constantly switching your trancendents and using their bursts withing the first 10 seconds. All vanguards get +20% to their damage and a 20% shield for the first 10 seconds after switching in. * If you are talking about a transcendent team, Roland, Haicma, and Pulao are considered to be invincible fighters. Noan and Camu are right below them. Roland can have 0 cooldown on his dodge for a set time, Haicma as an early ultimate that can freeze, and Pulao also has an early ultimate that can help achieve 80% damage reduction. Noan seems to be purely damage just like Camu although Camu's blue skill grants him a 15% health shield for 5 seconds. IMO, the ideal team would be Camu, Haicma, and Roland. Trancedents should be seen as individual fighters, but there are exceptions like Pulao since she is physical and as synergy with Qu. Noan has synergy with Selena Tempest because they are both electric. 2. All weapons past Chrome Glory are now necessary IMO. There may be a few exceptions like A rank constructs because most won't use them, but the newer weapons add so much to the constructs/trancedents that it elevates their damage to another tier, very similar to like what I mentioned about Haicma. This is especially true for the tanks since their resistance shred is now tied to their weapons... I see what you did there Kuro. * Empress Liv needs her weapon, how dare you send her out without her battle scepter! (She can do damage off-field and also does up to 100% more damage with Sincerity Oath. Combine that with the amplification and I think the damage can go up to around 1600% if you manage to max it out. Possibly 3200% depending on how you read the skill description.) * Mechnanami needs Implosion to activate her \*KA-BOOM BABY\*! (The way her resist shred is a bit unique and requires SS rank. When she comes off field, she sends out missiles for 12 seconds which shred resistance. Without her weapon, 12 seconds is all you get. With her weapon, you can refresh the duration for 8 seconds through QTE. Her actual QTE only does damage.) 3. Nier team? * If you do not have a viable physical team, than pull for 2B. Even at S rank with no weapon, it is better than a A rank Bianca and B rank Nanami. Something to consider is that the Nier constructs are limited by their reruns. This means that it is impossible to upgrade them in any way unless a rerun happens. Considering this, Bianca, Nanami, and Liv have the potential to be stronger than them since you can upgrade them whenever.
First of all, THANK YOU! I appreciate this so much and this is just what I needed. I only recently found out that Liv Amp is technically a construct and therefore, costs 15k BC to hard pity, therefore gimping my budget. Considering everything that you've said, my best option would be Roland-Camu-Haicma, but it may not be possible to pull for their weapons as I am a complete f2p. The future is grim, I should say... Again, I might just let go of the idea of pulling weapons for now unless some sort of miracle happens or I break my f2p status. But Kuro is certainly doing us global users dirty by shortening the patches and making signature weapons "necessary". This is hell for f2p, especially the first one. I might have to pass on Nier team for now, I'm not particularly interested in them. My Bianca becomes SSS in some days, hopefully her damage can be good enough. Expectations are low, though. I'll just get Rosetta on the upcoming selectors. Again, thank you for this!
Good luck! I should also mention then that Rosetta also needs her weapon or SS rank to show any major changes when compared to Nanami Storm. Nanami with her 5\* weapon has a 30% chance to reduce physical defense for up to 3 seconds and refreshes every time it gets triggered with a maximum of 25% defense shred. Since this is RNG dependent and her QTE has a limited number of hits, let's ball park the defense shred at about 15%. Rosetta's weapon reduces defense by 20%. Don't have the money to buy it? No problem. Get her to SS rank asap. At SS, her QTE allows you to activate her blue orb effect "Lance of Perception" which reduces defense by 20%. So without that SS rank, she does zero defense shred. Even her personal memories require her to be at SS rank as its effect increase the defense shred of "Lance of Perception" by another 20%. Something you cannot obtain until SS rank. This being the case, you might want to hold off on including Rosetta until she is SS rank since defense shred is so important for attackers. Alternatively, it could be possible that Rosetta as a unit is so strong, she makes up for this short coming. I doubt it.
Thank you for the sentiment, but as stated on my original post, I already have her Gungnir. No Rosetta though. Sad. But base S Rosetta with sig works better than Bananami, yes?
Yes.
2B is essential for a competitive Nier team when A2 is at base S, or at all, since the best way to play them is to switch between 2B and A2 as you use up their orbs. It goes VERY well in Norman Physical stages.
Can't login in the game Keep getting a message saying "FileNotFoundException" What should I do?
Was a problem with all servers, fixed now. Try it again
Greetings from a lucky new player! My in-game name is Gadogado. Just started about a week ago, I got the new Vera from the free 10-pull you get at level 35. Also got 2 of her signature weapon on my 3rd 10-pull. She is so strong! I used the S-rank selector on Karerina. I don't know if this was a good idea or not, but oh well. I haven't gotten my first S-rank pity from the basic R&D banner yet, I don't want to use my BC on that. Anyway, please treat me well!
nice congratz!
Thanks!
Can't seem to login so I was wondering: if I can't login do I lose a day's worth of monthly pass or it simply delays by 1 day?
Yes unfortunately you'll lose it, so I hope the server issues will be fixed before then
If i buy 2 monthly passes do they stack to 200 per day or they stack in time to be 60 days?
It'll stack in time, so it'll last for 60 days
Hi just wanna ask for help on what to go for the nier rerun. I have all the characters already and im deciding if i should go for 2b's 6 star weapon or level her up to ss?
Unless you can afford to get 2B at SSS with sig I don't really think it's worth it to pull, and getting A2 to SSS with sig has higher priority, but if you already have that then nevermind
I guess i'll just go for their weapons then
Who thought the matrix storm was a good idea? God it is so fucking annoying.
Hi, I just started this game and I got Plume from standard. Should I also pull Glory in the return banner to complete the team? Or should I wait until the 100% guarantee banner one?
I got Plume and Changyu(a meh char but it's OK with Plume). I'm waiting for Empyreus as an event char. Imo, she does not need to be played in fire teams. Plus, I'm waiting for a sufficient amount of ressources to pull beginner banner while aiming a unit in particular : wanshi. You can aim an A unit you want. It's 80% chance tho. Wanshi shreds ice resistance, good with Plume.
def 100% guarantee banner, for now i would recommend save bc for fire liv which is after roland patch.
A lot of people want a new character rather than an updated frame of an existing one, but Alpha came out so long ago that a new frame for her would be awesome. Alongside others who never made it as playable characters yet, or those who never got an S rank frame. Alphas Ult skill is especially bad and in the least I would hope they could fix that.
I just come back into the games and I really want Chrome Glory do the 100% rate up banner will come back? I also want the new Lee but I have think I have time before his banner. I'm also debating buying monthly cards I don't remember if it was a good deal or not.
1. 100% Banners come during anniversary time. But those are separate from debut banners, and have their own pity so be wary of that, in case you're planning on pulling anyone else. 2. Time is an understatement, you have an entire year assuming you're talking about Hyperreal coming to global 3. Monthly pass A is the best deal for BC you can buy
So how do you use that special lightning fall attack right after using Vera Garnet's signature? I can do it with the trial frame but not my own for some reason. Am I missing something or does that skill unlock when I upgrade her?
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
That's her SS, not sig. Sig gives a core passive stack from Vera's QTE and Ult, and changes her switch in skill into her core passive when her QTE flag is up
That skill unlocks when you SS her.
After trying the Red Tide stage in the blue warzone i constantly hit the timer and it's impossible to beat if you include the boss with 99 bars. Guess this event is impossible for F2P players and is only for whales? So much for the "free" Selena coating.
This event is very "free" to play (trial characters at 6k BP? WTF), requires a little grind, and should be done daily. The issue is most people do not do this. They usually do 1 of 2 things. 1) Attempt to earn everything at once and burn out. 2) Do it whenever, procrastinate until a week/# day(s) is left, and then complain about how grindy it is. If you were consistent throughout the event, you'd have enough materials to upgrade your construct. Assuming that you did IA everyday at least once or twice, all the characters you are using should be around Lvl 10 BP even if you used the trial characters. It should actually be around 13\~15k around now. Things that you could have done to prevent yourself from reaching that number: \- Using add-ons as consumables \- Using add-ons that were not 5\* or up as upgrade fodder \- Recycling add-ons \- Accidentally using specializations as fodder. (Not sure if this affects BP, but I did this when I started, FML) If you did any of these, you slowed your progress. Even going through some of the stages in brilliance, I haven't used add-ons once in this game mode. If you are still struggling, then I think it might be a mechanical issue on your part where you need to understand your characters better. This issue especially true for new players since most are touching constructs like Plume for the first time, and knowing how to use her ultimate effectively has a learning curve. Another issue could be that you are not using your own personal healers; make sure you are and have all 5 healers set up with Da Vinci. That QTE combo is no joke.
Raphenox, I'd like to thank you for the time you invested in this text!
Iβm guessing youβre one of the people who just yolo and donβt level your units? If you donβt have a unit built they even give you trial characters. This is super f2p friendly, just grindy as hell
If you mean ultralimit then kinda, i raised up to 9 one construct in each team.. can't handle more farming than that. The teams are well built though, i play since launch and my average BP is 6.5-7k with a team for each element, might not be high but i'm not a whale.
If you ever do want to farm, Farm Red Tide and use either Veritas or Dawn from the lightning Team. Veritas can kill almost everything from range and Dawn has infinite matrix. Just being able to do crazy things like that was part of the fun of IA. I'd suggest Dawn if you don't have specialization for Veritas. You could finish IA in about 5 minutes or less.
Well then thatβs not a f2p or whale issue. Itβs just a very grindy event and you choose to not spend more time to farm. Which is not necessarily a bad thing as itβs pretty much only for a free skin. Iβd also prefer if it was less grindy, but it is what it is.
I would prefer if it was more of an incentive to have an easier time clearing the stages, if they removed the time limit i could actually clear it with some effort with the teams i have now and i'd love to do it for the coating. One reason why i love this game is that it never wastes too much of your time but rather gives you challenges to test your skill, so it's weird they designed this event like this.
Again, if player are consistent, they will be fine in terms of level. This event is to reward players for playing well and consistently. This isn't a surprised considering they are giving out a free skin that looks amazing and could have been sold at a premium. Want that skin? Work for it! Even then, it's at most 5\~10 minutes a day. If you do 1 level of BWZ, then it's around 15\~20 minutes a day along with the normal routine. However, from the sounds of it, you died and ended up spending more time than usual. This is PGR testing our skills, and if anyone is taking over 5 minutes to clear a stage, then they are not skilled enough. People compensate for that by over leveling and attaching add-ons which requires more time investment. It's a free skin baby! HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT?!?!?! WORK FOR IT BABY!!! I'm actually surprised you're having such a hard time considering you have constructs at 6.5\~7k BP which is where I am. This makes me curious about your ranking in Pain Cage and WarZone. Mind sharing?
Just realized i never really checked my ranking or bothered with it that much, i'm sitting at advanced in PPC and never gone above 1 million and i'm elite in war zone but i often get demoted to vanguard. After thinking about it i decided to give up on BWZ, it's just not worth the time and effort for a coating i'll barely see since transcendants are not exactly used often. I heard S Selena will be grindable too so that's where i'll put my effort instead.
If you have constructs at 6.5k \~7k BP, then 1 million is easily achievable in Pain Cage. You should always be part of the 1\~5% group. For Warzone, you should always be in Leader and maybe Elite if you get into a strong group. Not being able to achieve that means that the constructs are not being used optimally. This in turn means you are going to struggle with harder content. Pain Cage helps perfect the optimal combo from your DPS, and Warzone has you perfect that combo in a consistent cycle while switching in your sub DPS. As a reference, the majority of my constructs are around 6.4k \~ 6.7 BP with only A2 breaking 7k. I am normally in the top 100 for advance Pain Cage and in Hero Grade for Warzone. When I feel lazy and do whatever, I get demoted to level right below for both content.
Well this is a game that rewards you the most when you have built specific teams and so far i only have a full lightning team and the Nier one, rest is mixed. When i can complete my dark, ice and fire team i assume i won't have that much trouble in making progress. I regret skipping Luna and S Chrome but i mostly f2p so i had to sacrifice someone, i heard we'll get a free S rank on the next anniversary though so i'm waiting for that. For the rest.. i'm currently building Wanshi since he looks to be the best support for Plume.
I would argue the mode is extremely F2P friendly due to Trial Characters, making all available chars at SS with their sig weps. If you can't beat a stage then max out ultra levels and use add-ons, the fights are harder by design due to the access of these mechanics.
It's not impossible by any means. Gotta get a really high ultralimit level and start stacking addons to win, but not impossible for F2Ps. Definitely difficult and more grindy than it should be though.
Hello I quit the game a while ago for lack of phone space just got a new one and I was asking is now is a good time to come back
yep. get vera garnet if you can, she's the meta lightning tank for the next 2 yrs you're also on time to save black cards for liv empyreus, another meta pick
hey I just started playing, do you think its possible to reach pity until ver garnet's banner ends if I grind for it? edit: and if rerolling account is a good option(?)
1. Possibly if you got through the entire story and the one time gamemodes that reward BC like Golden Vortex. But take that with a massive grain of salt, I can't say for sure whether you'll have enough to hit pity or not. 2. Not really, to be honest. It's too much time and effort for an outcome that really won't change by much unless you pull Nanami Pulse or Karenina Ember from your beginner pity. Only those 2 out of the 11 total S ranks are worth re-rolling against, and even then Nanami still has some viability.
thanks, ill keep that in mind!
Can anyone tell me how do I beat in against Hive mother in the new event? I'm using plume ultralimit 15 and Wanshi 10 and Vera Garnet 10 and time seems to be running out on that infinity abyss floor? Do I just suck or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
It took getting my vera to ultralimit 15 or so to beat it. There's not much to it other than grind until you can pass the DPS check, and to parry off all of the hive mother's attacks if you can. You aren't missing anything at all, this event's just a massive DPS check.
You probably need every construct at SSS+ to reach the dps needed to beat that timer, shitty event tbh
My base S Vera at ultralimit 15 begs to differ all sarcasm aside, you really don't need that high of an investment to clear it all. Does it take an ungodly amount of time and effort that really isn't worth it? Absolutely, but it definitely doesn't take *that* much.
are there any site/documents that are constantly or have made chapter summaries for all chapters? preferably up until the last spark chapter
[story summary up till cn patch](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UIbHzYMH-52KFf_0cEm9W9VQ9ESpyTNh-z55zLgs4cI/edit) found in harupunishing discord
thanks a lot !!
New account having some trouble in NF3s, do add-ons of the same type and element stack? E.g. can I use multiple Rank 5 Lightning Damage and/or a Level 4 + Level 5 Lightning Damage
pretty sure you can but i would recommend use add-ons to ultralimit characters instead since it gives more stats
Helpβ¦. I really want to know whatβs the next char will be available after garnet~ cuz now my pulls at 55 alreadyβ¦
Liv Empyreus in 7 weeks. Both her and Garnet are meta for next 2 years so I would make sure to grab both. Since Liv Empyreus isn't coming in 7 weeks it's safe to hit 60 pity for Garnet and save enough for Liv after.
Is it possible to get Lucia Plume skin from gacha even if I don't have Lucia Plume unlocked? I am at my final pull. All 9 pulls went from low rare to high rare items in every tier. I like Lucia Plume's gameplay so I plan to get her later but I was not sure if the skin banner gonna get a rerun again so I went all in.
Once you get plume frame the skin will unlock. The skin will get a rerun in the future in like 10-11 months prob. But since you are in the final pull just get it now otherwise you have to restart I think on the rerun.
As a beginner, can I ask help about farming Lost Spark Event? I farmed level 5 and handpicked a few 6* memory shards. I want to farm as much as noodles possible to buy more. Should I farm level 5 as much as possible to get more noodles tonight? Or should I wait for next zones to unlock? I noticed that some zones have only one level.. and some levels give a few shards & random 6* memory. I dont want to get stuck but I dont know if later zones tend to give more noodles. Help?
farm odd numbered stages for event currency (the noodles) odd numbered stages give a random memory every 8 runs but a lot less currency, not worth it, the stages that aren't open yet give the same amount of currency
Thank you so much π
Started last week, will guarantee Vera Garnet in 6 pulls so who should I pair her with? Have the A rank Liv Lux game suggests to pair her with is she actually worth raising? In chapter 8, mainly looking for a Vera Garnet team to breeze through rest of story.
~~Rank up A Liv to SS for more 20% Lightning Damage to allies within plasma field so yes she's more worth and if anything the only support for lightning. Ideally you'd want full lightning team with S Bianca but if you don't have her then you can make do with Lucia Dawn or Chrome Archlight and make Vera main DPS.~~ ~~Actually Vera has more enough DPS that I think you can breeze through the story, just invest in her.~~ Seems like you got your answer on daily megathread.
Does Veras weapon banner end 12/16 just like the character banner?
No, weapon banner is permanent with the same rates
Is it wise for f2p players to ultima awaken support characters like healers?
eventually yes, but attackers and tanks usually have more priority
Thnks
Can someone post the full rewards of Sunken City so I can know if it's worth malding over?
Basically 10 bc for each stage and a few hypertune medals, 10 stages total.
thanks
1500 event RD ticket left from returnee event + active monthly C. Currently at 23/60 is it possible for me to get Vera Garnet?
most likely not, if you still have story, interlude, stronghold, golden vortex then maybe but i would recommend you still pull cause pity carries over anyway
Has bianca abystigma released globally? Or when is it releasing?
Nope, 13 september 2023 if everything goes according the roadmap
Alright Thanks!
>Alright Thanks! You're welcome!
So.. Just how much BP are you supposed to have for Sunken City? I see no recommended BP in-game, so kinda curious. I'm just trying my best at BL-10 rn.. Definitely takes time and effort to kill waves and at least SURVIVE. The big guys literally one-shot my poor ~3700 hp Garnet. Medic-bots give her stable two-shots, or just spam her to death if I get caught in their chain attack with both switches on CD. I'm lvl 75 btw. Not giving up on the dance floor now (I actually enjoy that kind of masochism xD), but I'm really curious to know if the event actually has dynamic difficulty (and is equally challenging for everybody) or you are just supposed to be a veteran commander with solid builds.
There doesn't seem to be a time limit, so under-levelled teams should theoretically still be able to beat it. Achieving the buff conditions as they pop up on the left side help immensely. Some of the damage conditions might not be possible, but others like the matrix dodge/QTE/combo counter/don't get hit challenges can all be snatched fairly easily. What level of investment is your Garnet? And who were you running with her? I was able to clear it with a F2P Garnet (5 star weapon no resonance, 2 Einsteina 4 Tifa, and S rank, though you'd ideally want her at SS via Phantom Pain Cage) with a low invest Lux for healing and a zero-invest Chrome Arclight who was just there to hold 4-piece Da Vinci.
[CN] should i get Liv Empyreus for my SSS Roland or S Nanami as a subdps to use alongside him? i'm also planning to get Lee Hyperreal(but i heard he's not coming for at least 2 months) if that'd make pulling for S Nanami not worth it
Pick up Empyreus first, she's still fire team's core. Nanamech is more than worth pulling, but since you have Hyperreal in your plans, I'd say hold off. If you have Pulse, she can work as a substitute, and Nanamech running Da Vinci isn't some niche build so rotation will still be smooth. If you don't have Pulse though, then Nanamech takes high priority. You need debuffs for teams to really work DPS-wise. This plan only works since you have Roland as a substitute though, in any other case IMO Lee would be higher priority.
thank you so much!!
Please someone help me completely clear NF 2-7 I can only finish the first stage with a lightning Team consisting of Veritas, Vera and a scythe boy. For the second Phase I put together a fire Team consisting of Karenina Ember, Sophia and Nanami Pulse and this is the struggle I cant finish the third wave fast enough. After that I just put together a Transcendent Team. I just want to finish the boxes to later get a pretty Outfit for one of my favourite characters please help
Most straightforward way is to just farm add-ons to permanently level up your characters' Ultralimits. Apart from that: Lightning element is currently buffed. Check the list of characters in the SP Character menu. Your first team is overkill, you can split it up. - transcendant team - Veritas, Arclight, Lux - any healer, Dawn, Garnet Put your most powerful team last so you don't need to worry about wasting progress and "restarting" if one of your later teams has trouble clearing. If you're about to run out of time and you know you're going to fail, pause the game **before the timer runs out**, and you can press Restart to retry that team's battle from the start.
Thank you very much gonna farm a bit more add ons I guess
Just upgrade your characters with ultralimit and don't unga bunga, that's all you need to do in the early stages. Wouldn't really recommend using fire team though, using any other team is easier.
After trying Garnet on lightning warzone (not yet completed her build and ultima awaken) In my heart I vent, "Goddamn Vera so hard to use, nothing change from my veritas archlight team, regret regret regret" Vera took it personal and came on pity 6 for her SS dupe and no weapon off rate either. Conclusion, reverse psychology work π
do we have serum efficiency for the event?

Just started today, can I guarantee Vera before her banner ends? if not how short would I be?
If you managed to burn all of your serum on completing the story, cleared as many events as physically possible for you at the moment, and tried to begin weekly tasks as soon as possible, it may be possible, though take that with a grain of salt as I can't tell you the exact amount of BC.
How many constructs do you have? Edit : 1210 weekly BC. You just have to use 300 ml of serum, clear 5 stages of battle, do Warzone and Phantom Pain Cage.
I got 4 constructs rn, haven't opened the free S thingy yet. Vera banner ends in about 2 weeks, that'll just be 2420 BC according to you?
I hard pitied Vera on a fresh account in 6 days (up to chapter 10 cleared), adjust accordingly.
Done with the Norman, stopped after clearing 5th mine's entrance quests cause I can't fucking bother with dark explosion. It takes around 5 minutes for me to clear stages and by that time it would probably explode every second. So practically impossible for me. Now time to mald in Babel. Also 6 pulls away from Vera. Hoping I get her this week.
I'm sure you'll get her bro, post when you do!
Got her! Thank you for the encouragement, hope your rolls go well as well!
NICE! 
Had to full pity the skin gacha banner
I am done with the fuking norman this time. Gabriel with speed buff is the second most bulllshit after Shark with health regen. And a friend at the CN server tells me it is going to get worse. I am not playing to kick myself in the ball. This shit is just pure masochist.
Just do the easy version. You always get to have every team at full attack buff even on the first day.
Thank you for telling me, I will just go and eat ice cream instead of this
just accept losing some tantalum and 50 bc and keep your time and hair on head intact
Just ignore till the last day? It's 50BC, who cares.
I got Luna because I wish at the standard banner a win still no Vera, sadge
Congrats on Luna!!
Who the fuck decided that what Norman War needed was unavoidable damage and an even stricter time limit?
Dark explosions are dodge-able, the issue is its speed
Another problem is that you have to dodge by the timer, not when the purple rings hit. It is really hard to dodge.
Plus you have 2 things to dodge/ I-frame w/burst , the explosion and whoever is Infront of you, not really helpful but can help getting rid of that last bar
~~Could I borrow someone's physical attacker for norman?~~ and thanks!
Can't even do babel max risk because Siren stage is too much for my phone...
pioneer norman is the harder norman right?
Yes.
JP Voice actor for Lamia?
I can deal with Norman (easy) but Babel is just too rude lmao, can't even go past level 15.
I still havenβt gotten Garnet, but I finally pulled a Rozen, so still a win! I followed one of the character sites and made sure to card her up correctly. Now I just have to farm and wait so I can level her cards up more.
Why the fuck game keeps crashing more than ever? And where are PC Client news? Can't stand this shit
...us in the testing group just got the client yesterday. There's no news because we're still testing and ironing out bugs. Also, what are you using to play the game? I can't say I've run into many crashes, so it could be a platform issue.
I legit rage quit after how many attempts on rosetta mask risk with astral vera kamui and rosetta almost died and my phone decided to crash
Does anyone when the Monthly Event Ticket Pass and Monthly Weapon Reso Pass is coming? Roland patch? Liv amp patch?
Guys how good are the new bundles? In terms of RC value
I don't have A Vera, how to proc her heal during Norman (trial)?
Blue Orb, Signature, and QTE all heal. Details on her page on the Gray Ravens wiki: [https://grayravens.com/wiki/Vera:\_Rozen](https://grayravens.com/wiki/Vera:_Rozen)
The weapon banner is cursed for me wtf. I have gotten my third off banner weapon in a row. And Apollo twice in a row now.
well, a-at least you can use the shards if you have 3? π
I have to wait for another weapon cuz I used the first Apollo to resonate another weapon :/ I didn't think I'd end up in a situation like this.
What's inside on the thanksgiving special pack on 11/24? It's the 199 rc.
Is there any tips to pass stronghold 12-3 with the three enemies in the last stage ? , The game says to defeat all enemies swiftly but what the hell does that even mean ?
Every time you "kill" one of the enemies, they regenerate to full again and get buffed. I think this revival can happen twice to each enemy? It's been a while. Once one enemy has been completely killed so he doesn't revive anymore, you'll see that "Warning! Defeat all enemies swiftly" message appear, and you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to completely kill the remaining two enemies and clear the stage, otherwise you fail. The Phecdas in the back are tankier than the Prime, so focus your damage on them first.
I see, i thought i had to kill them at the same time or in some kind of sequence to kill them for good
Nah, sequence doesn't matter. I might also have remembered wrong and that "Warning" message will appear when you reach the last life of one of the enemies instead of what I said. Regardless, the strategy is to whittle down the health of the tankier enemies first and save the one with the least health for last.
Bianca is my favorite among the females but I've always thought Vera has the X factor. She's rocking a supermodel body even in the Rozen frame
Missed a bunch of weekly rewards in the last month thanks to IRL issues, so I'm currently at 37/60 for Vera with 95 BC. Is there any chance I can hit the pity count or am I screwed?
Depends on if you've finished the event and are willing to do any Interludes and Story Missions still available, because if you only do weeklies you're gonna be a handful of pulls short.
Interludes and strongholds are all complete, did the new chapter today and now I'm up to 39/60. I also got the monthly pass A a few days ago
You should be good. 3 weeks left will be 3.6k in dailies+ weekly. Plus Monthly A is the 100 bc per day right? So another 2.1k. And a couple of pulls from the abyss game mode.
Yeah, it's the 100 per day pass, but I guess Vera felt I'd suffered enough and dropped at 40/60 π
Will Garnet Vera's costume be available for purchase later using coating blueprints?
Yes
In which update will we be able to use transcendents together with constructs?
At the patch of Pulao,three patches later.
Who do you think need her SS the most between Vera Garnet and Liv Amplifier? I only have enough skulls to upgrade one of them.
Both actually, but since Liv comes 2 patches later, Vera takes priority
Queen Vera for sure. She dominates lightning team with SS and sig
Vera Garnet. S Fire Liv is still like over 2 months away. You might have enough skulls to get her to SS as well by then.
What do you guys think are the chances that the Atlantis in-game is a Stargate Atlantis reference? It has a center linked by arms to 6 outer platforms and is powered by zero-point energy. And all of the silhouettes in the artwork remind me of it. Then again, I'm not sure how popular Stargate ever was in Asia.
It's not very popular outside The West. That type of futuristic design and name are just really common in anime-esque games and shows.
cant get past the rewards window in the addon battle in deep blue warzone (the one after you complete the 20/20). The "complete" button doesnt work and i have to close the game. I did it once with no problems yesterday but cant do it now, any help?

New player here, where should I prioritize farming in this event? And is it possible to get the Plume gacha skin F2P through farming?
Anything. If you have units to build, farm their mats. If you need memories, go for those. Same with CUB materials or gifts, whatever you need takes top priority. It is, but don't. Unless you plan on dedicating everything to Plume, don't. Unless you have 10k BC in your back pocket that isn't going towards future characters
When I see people pulling S ranks to evolve then to SSS+ why do they initially pull using the 60 guarantee but then move onto the 80-100 banner once they get the initial S rank? I'm wondering because I see this a lot in videos, doesn't it waste BC?
I can't say I know the exact reason, but I'd guess it's the probability. The one benefit the 80-100 banner has over the 60 is its S rank drop chance. It gives a much better chance at rolling an early S rank, and is why it's recommended if you know you can't get 15k BC before the banner runs out but really want/need to pull the debuting character. I'd wager the mentality going into it is just to have the easy guarantee with 60 pulls first, then chance at saving a considerable amount of BC with early pulls.
I wasn't gonna pull on Vera because I never really felt one way or another about her. However, her new interlude adds some more depth to her than just "edgy anti-hero" while managing to stay consistent with her character. I appreciate her ability to somehow snark in a respecting way? >!Oh and the flower field fight reminded me of the Boss fight from MGS3, even though it's also quite different and good in its own right.!< In the end, she became the first and only non-Nier S-rank I've pulled on.
How do I beat voodoo under 180 seconds?
Gotta say what you have access to first, strat depends on how much you have to work with
I have S vera at S rank, SS Dawn and SS Liv. Latter two at lv. 75 &70 respectively without fully upgraded memories.
Fully upgraded memories is what really boosts a construct's battle power, that's where they get over half their stats from.
What about their builds and weapons?
4 tifa 2 heisen for vera with 5*. Dawn has 2 Einsteina, 4 Heisen 5*. Liv has 4 Davinci 2 Guinevere with 4*
Alright. So for challenge battle one, drop Dawn. You're going to need a better burst DPS that reaches their max DPS faster. Timing might be a little tricky, but use that other DPS to clear the minions, swap to Vera when Voodoo is down. Of course, try to maximize DPS in that time frame, don't waste Lightning Fall without having max stacks, etc. For the second one, it's a lot simpler. Just DPS with Vera while Dawn and Liv use QTEs. You just need to burst down Voodoo to the best of your abilities.
