There is SO much to look forward to in Wintry Shackles, but what's got you most excited? ⚡ EDIT: Correction! The CUB passive skill that lets Alpha ride the motorcycle has been renamed to "Unquenchable Fortitude" instead of "Undying Flow."

[@GrayRavenRadio]

This is the perfect time to give it a shot! We highly recommend reading the story!

[@Carsu12]

Because Kuro known jackshit about marketing at the time, and after lackluster first impression they are now forever stuck in niche hole. And the production value of the story is not very high, which makes it harder for it to keep casual players invested

[@Lemon-bh5ny]

Can I suggest PGR story summaries? This is one of the best PGR channels, and I think you guys explaining your love for this game's story could help new players that don't have that much time to dedicate to the game. (Also, congrats for the sponsoring!)

small correction at 10:00 its not undying flow that does the motor cycle riding animation. its part of the 2nd active skill Sweeping Rotation - Lightning.

[@GrayRavenRadio]

You're right that it's not Undying Flow anymore, however, it's also not part of the Active Skills. It's a Passive Skill and the official translation is "Unquenchable Fortitude."

That is one hell of a transition to her outfit! ✨ Love the vid, love the guide, and love the dedication from Ivy lol (my apologies if I mistake Ivy for Lina, since I'm a recent viewer :< ) That aside, I currently am running her resonance with 2 Signature levels at S rank. Should I just ball and reroll them for optimal resonances or could I keep them? I'm running low on Serum atm, so imma need some guidelines on her builds along with this. TY!

[@GrayRavenRadio]

Thanks so much! Don't worry too much about optimal Resonances. They're nice if you can get them but just making sure you can Ultima Awaken your characters is what's most important! You can find her builds on our site here: grayravens.com/wiki/Lucia:_Crimson_Weave
