Last segment of the video: "Waifu over meta" Me: *This man knows stuff*

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

I also picked Karenina because she's a Tsun with a wonderful attitude and I love her moveset. Playing with your favorite character is more important than playing with the most efficient character. I'm not really feeling anyone else, so it'll be easy for me to save up for Qu, Alpha, and the Nier collab.

[@GreyEnfield_CRYSTAL]

Since the game released like 4 hours before a daily reset, I needed to rush things and skipped the first two chapters of story, and then found out you can't look at it later. It's really strange not to be able to.

[@Melissa-mu3db]

[@dianwei32]

For bounty missions, you can also try to only take the Bounties that reward the Basic R&D tickets (the purple ones for the Beginner/Standard banner). There are some S Rank bounties that will give you 50-60 tickets, so use the 7 refreshes you get to find some. Also, you can refresh 7 times per day, so if you only get 1, wait a day and refresh some more.

[@XxNcSk8r14xX]

day 3 now, lvl 37 still no bounty. i have operations but i don’t see bounty

[@rinaloveskiwis]

I spent my BC on the beginning banner because I thought that was the only way to pull there lol now I don't have too many BC to get Alpha, but I think it's fine (copium), I don't care too much about meta, the only character that I really want right now is dark Watanabe cuz I wanna use him with Kamui, but I will try to get Alpha I guess since people say it's a sin to not try to get her lol

Another Karenina enjoyer I see. Hopefully she drops for me soon. Don't want to use my selector just yet.

thanks bro

[@joshuag8]

Ngl i upgraded my 5 star memory to push story but I also been upgrading my 6star memory I got but the 5 star equipment I upgraded helped me push the story so I have no regret plus I only did it on 1 character aka dps lucia

[@riskywings]

I'm building A version of Lucia until I get the s rank from the 40 pulls and the one you can choose for free. Plus I'm waiting for Bianca from the login event.

[@zandermercury1758]

I need this.. thx

[@noob-of1tt]

sean B amazing content hope you find your time again to play pgr

[@yukinon1750]

Thanks for the tips as always Sean, btw is there a difference between using aife slots 1,4 and 3,6 cos when I checked the equipment combo ranking everybody seems to be using those slots instead of 3 and 6 (the free ones) same case with voltaire, the top ones put her on slot 1,2,4,5 for phantom cage but the free ones are 1,3,4,6 so I hesitated on buying new memories

[@mansonfd7835]

The reason why I prefer using 5 star memories over 6 star memories is actually cheaper to build/overclock and easy to use compare to 6 star. I do have a few 6 star memories but I rarely use it considering how expensive it was to built.

[@deadlyssshot]

not all 6 stars are good. you need the correct character to use them

[@revo5124]

I filled upgraded my 5 star memories to 45 cuz 6 star sets are hard to get

only did it for my 2nd dps tho

Already used 2,5k black cards on the beginner banner :D And I chose Dark Kamui with my selector ticket already before getting my pitty. Buuut I can't really care because A rank Bianca carries me through the game. Chapter 4 and hidden ch. 3 were still pretty easy even with 500-700 battle power less than recommended. I'd like a 5* or even 6* bow though.. How does the memory placement work when equipping memories? Is there a difference between 2 pieces on slot 1 and 2 or 1 and 4 (or any other combination)? Or is it completely irrelevant on which slots my 2 piece set and 4 piece set are as long as I just get the set effects? I am asking because I take a look at the recommended character builds ingame and the positionings of the set pieces vary sometimes.

[@zandermercury1758]

each slot is different memories.. 123 = atk n crit 456 = (hp n def?) I don't remember.. so what you gonna do is lvl up 456 first for now.. till you get a (5* min) 6* memories.. and it depends on the memories too.. either you slot it in as 2 - 4 set or 2 -2 -2 set

[@red_dll]

@@zandermercury1758 That much is clear to me. My question is a different one: Let's say I want to build a unit with a 2 piece and a 4 piece set (both 5* sets). The 2 piece set consists of two Erwin memories. Does it make any difference if I equip the Erwin pieces in slot 1&2 or 3&6 or 1&5 or 1&6, etc.? Edit: Ok, nevermind. I found an answer. I didn't know some of the sets differ slightly in stats because to me it looked like sets only differ in their set effects.

@@red_dll lel.. its kinda confusing at first.. but it's aight..

[@seranoir9696]

Hi, bro, putting the memory in any position does not affect his final effect, even 2 piece set and 4 piece, but pls pay attention that only the memory placed at 456（bottom row）will directly affect the attack（power）. By the way, the best memory for Dark Kamui has 2 choice, 1: Hannah x4 (place 2356) + Einstein x2 (place 1 4), 2:Basilone x4 (place 2356) + Einstein x2 (place 1&4). The memory Basilone will be updated in the 2nd event "Fallen Star" I've played CN PGR 1.5 yrs, in the latest version, SSS+ Dark Kamui（with Personal weapons）is the strongest attack(also tank) of the dark team.

[@red_dll]

@@seranoir9696 Thanks for the suggestion. But why Einstein in 1 and 4 specifically? Why not 2 and 5 / 3 and 6? Or even 4 and 5/6 because the set has a little more damage than the hannah set.
