Punishing: Gray Raven Crash Course - Basic R&D Cards and A Ranks

[@LOLxArcSaber]

Thanks! This is very helpful in avoiding Kuro Games traps especially rolling the character before buying the shards part

[@rc_polomus4930]

Helpful concise info! Question: Is A-Kamui worth investing in the long run for physical teams (or in any team or use in general)?

[@XastherReeD]

He has a niche use in Pain Cage because his QTE stuns, which allows you to potentially skip some boss transitions or phases. Additionally, you can use him as your physical teams tank/debuffer. You'll stop using him for the debuff once Rosetta is released, cause she does it a LOT better. Mid-term usefulness with a long-term niche.

Very helpful info, thank you.

Nice video :D

Here is a tragic story. Stage 5-8 knocked me up pretty bad, so I threw 5k BC into the Focus Weapon Banner. Then came the Debut banner, now I see it's payment as 40/60. Q: It will be carried over to the next Debut banner right? Q: Also in the Base banner, if the new S ranks are added, will it be anything good? Q: Weapon banner once again, should I consider spending BC on important set weapons? (Eg.- B-Liv, A-Liv & A-Karenina signature weapons, not saying about S-rank signatures because they're focused.) P.S. - Any thoughts about pulling Alpha from the rotational banner?

[@XastherReeD]

Questions answered in order: 1. Pity carries over. For an in-depth look check out my Gacha Guide. 2. The S-Ranks are added to the base pool once the next S-Rank is released, iirc. You barely get any pulls for the base banner, though, so don't rely on that to get characters you missed. 3. Depending on what you are willing to spend. F2P want to save and pull only for S-Rank Constructs and nothing else. Monthly pass can afford to pull on the weapon banner for the 6* sigs (short for "Signatur" weapons) of S-Ranks. Beyond that is up to you, but the sigs for supports are usually not THAT important. 4. (P.S.) If you miss Alpha now, you can try your luck on the rotationals. If you are willing to spend a bit, though, I would recommend buying some cheaper packs and getting Alpha while her Debut is still up.

Now this is the info that i needed... Since i was debating if I should pull for astral watanabe 6 star weapon (when released) or even Zero 6 star weapon. So thanks for the info Question...... For Bianca is the burst damage from a max. resonante 5star weapon best than Veritas 6 star weapon?

[@XastherReeD]

The power of the 6* sigs is from their passives. The higher stats are nice, but ultimately, the passives are what you want those weapons for imo. Because of that, with full resonance to make up the differences in stats, I would say the 5* full-resonance bow is likely better than the 6* Lightning Bow, since the 5* increases your crit damage and chance.

[@whitebeetle6010]

@@XastherReeD Yeah taught the same.... but had to get some clarification Again Thanks

[@chilezuel4]

Thank you, very helpfull, also, anyone knows the name of the background theme?

[@XastherReeD]

It's PGR OST: Punishing Gray Raven OST - Character Story

[@h0llowh0llow72]

I know this isn't related but is philip's 4 set effect not worth it and i should just use it as 2 set and fill the other slots with 5 star support 2 set?

[@XastherReeD]

Pretty much, yeah. I talk about that question in both my Gearing and "What to invest into at Global Launch" videos.

[@ntktouya9901]

Can i ask if it possible to use other constructs as a dps for example Use A vera as a dark dps cuz she deals a lot of dmg ?

[@cutting-Secs]

The whole game is DPS like how car games is speed if anything can be killed faster & better, go with that

[@XastherReeD]

Going with your example, yes, you can use pretty much any character as a DPS. What I recommend in my videos are the meta approach to game. If you use A-Vera, a Dark Support, as a DPS, you'll not be dealing as much damage as another player using Dark Watanabe, though. Because Dark Watanabe is a Dark Attacker. For Story progress and other challenges, were you don't compete against players, you can play whoever you like.

[@kaworu67]

i got alpha but don’t have s lee yet but i want him, is this just a waste if i wait till he’s available and try get him

[@XastherReeD]

If you're a F2P, yes. You would need 15k BC for pity with a 70% chance to get him from a rotational banner. It's far better, in the long run, to use your BC for on the next, new S-Rank. If you still absolutely want him, there is nothing stopping you from playing the game the way you want to play it, though.

[@kaworu67]

@@XastherReeD already wasted enough bc to get to 56/60 on the rotational when he was on it lol will he be featured on it again or do i have to lose the 70% to get him? if it’s the latter i might just skip the next s limited banner and try get them on the rotational instead in the hope of losing

[@XastherReeD]

@@kaworu67 He'll be on the rotational again eventually. From what I know those rotational banners are random, though. So it could take a while for him return.

[@redberdz5061]

I don't have A Karenina yet. I really like dark Watanabe though. Is it still worth using my basic R and D tickets for a Karenina now? Lol i just used them cause yolo and got another copy of S Lee in less than 2 multies

[@cutting-Secs]

I dont have A Watanabe, but A karenina is vital for war zone waves clearing

[@XastherReeD]

I'd wait till Fallen Star. We should be able to focus summon on the default banner then. Save you Basic R&D Cards till then, and use the focus summon function to complete your A-Rank lineup.

[@user_vsaber]

I don't have all A ranks in this game because A rank watanabe stole all of them till he is SS with 13more frags T~T forcing me to grind interlude daily to get the A rank I want

[@XastherReeD]

I'm at the other end of that spectrum. I haven't gotten a single A-Watanabe since the launch of global. He is still locked for me!
