Punishing: Gray Raven - S Rank Selector and Character Overview

[@JVlapleSlain]

I love content creators who are no clickbait bullshit and can get down to evaluating units objectively, understanding that meta and waifu are sometimes in a conflict of interest is the key to being a non monkeybrained player. After this guide personally i will probably reroll for one of the fire girls and pick up the other through the selector since they seem to be a good compromise between viability and not being male lmao

Regarding the physical team, pretty much yeah. Physical teams start out the strongest because you can form a complete team right away and Alpha is just nuts. They later get Rosetta which is strong in her own right AND elevates Alpha to new heights. Early on I'd say the Lightning Team and Dark Team draw about even. S-Bianca as the DPS for the Lightning Team is super strong and pretty much carries that team by herself. Dark, on the other hand, has Dark Wata and S-Kamui to switch between, which is strong because you have orbs for days.

[@revo5124]

I haven't picked yet need 20 more pulls for pity hoping I can get kamui, karenina or nanami

[@ren0552]

Question. I've already used about 10 Pull with Black Cards on the Beginner Banner (dumb move. But still not too late to recover from). If I didn't use any Black Cards on the Beginner Banner, will I get all 40 Pulls for free from a mission? Or do I still need to use around 19 Pulls with Black Cards to reach the 40 Pull Pity? I do know that We will get a free 10 Pulls on the Mail. And then we will get another 10 if we reach lvl 50. So it's a free 21 Pull Total. But I don't see the rest of 19 Pulls being rewarded for any missions. Does it mean that we will have to use Black Cards for the rest 19 Pulls?

[@XastherReeD]

You slowly build up standard banner currency through log-in bonuses, patch compensation, the occasional event rewards and weekly bounties. It's a trickle, though, and I'd estimate for 19 pulls it could take you around 2 months to finish the beginner banner. I would recommend buying the 1$ pack from the shop (I only found out about this a few hours ago). It gives you one beginner banner pull per day for 10 days, so you essentially get a 10-pull on the beginner banner for 1$.

[@inesgmirnir788]

But still ideally You want S Karen from guarantee and then pick Kamui with ticket selector or vice versa I suggest you to do reroll if you don't get either Kamui Or Karen from guarantee, because Nanami,Lee,and Liv is pretty underwhelming as soon as you proggres your acc

[@angad1290]

[@seelehaze7155]

I would against reroll in this game it's a waste of time. Time is stamina while you reroll, you can progress and unlock all the stuff you need especially currency earn

[@starlesssu]

1 question tho, why do you need multiple of the same element. cant you just buff lets say a fire unit with a physical support

[@XastherReeD]

I'll probably cover that in more detail in a gear/teambuilding video, but the short answer is that there are memory sets that "Debuff ELEMENT resistance if hit by an attack of ELEMENT". Since ELEMENT tanks deal their ELEMENT in damage on QTE, they activate those set effects.

[@KurwaMacc]

@@XastherReeD question: What is QTE? Thanks!

[@XastherReeD]

@@KurwaMacc QTEs are cut-in attacks/actions the character currently on the field can trigger for their off-field teammates to perform. Each teammate is given a color on the team: Red, blue or yellow. If the, say, red teammate uses a 3-orb skill of blue, that will trigger the blue teammates cut in attack/action. Each character has their own QTE. They can simply deal damage, heal, debuff, gather, etc.

[@TheFirstCyberNinja]

Sorry if this was asked before but should I use the black tickets for beginner pity or is it better to save the specific tickets, and how do I get the specific tickets aside from weekly quests? I started 2 days ago btw and haven't had that much time to play tbh

[@XastherReeD]

Depends on how you want to play the game. If you are a patient person, you can wait and collect the Basic R&D Cards from the weekly quests, login rewards and occasional event reward while using your Black Card (BC) for debut S-Rank Banners. I'd say this is the better approach, but you will also want to save your S-Rank Selector until AFTER you finished your beginner banner to avoid getting a duplicate. If you are impatient (like me) you can also just finish the beginner banner with BC so you can get some S-Ranks and start gearing them. Don't feel like you need S-Ranks, though. It's completely possible to clear all the content with A-Ranks. Optimal team setups, which include specific S-Ranks, are only needed for the competitive modes.

[@davidng8870]

It may be because I’m not good at the game yet but I find Karenina much more powerful than Kamui. I have both on different servers and I find I am stuck on memory 5-3 (Catherine) at about level 50 even with SS rank Kamui and Dark Watanabe (or any other combination of characters) whereas I can pass it easily with SS rank Karenina even pairing her with just whoever

[@m4sterb4it3r]

So if Alpha will come so soon, will we actually have enough time to save up for her? I Assume it's possible if you don't draw the 40 starter pulls buuuuttt what if you do?

[@XastherReeD]

Unless Kuro drastically speeds up the release schedule, you should be ok even if you do your 40 starter pulls. You get 10 beginner/standard pulls in the tutorial, another 10 as a level up reward early on, so you're already 20/40 using currency you wouldn't be able to use on Alphas banner anyway. You also get a 10-pull worht of currency you can ONLY use on debut banners, there are a LOT of story missions for BC when the game launches, beginner missions for BC, almost guaranteed to be Global Launch celebration BC something-or-other. Even if you don't have enough to 100% get Alpha at her launch, you should definitely be able to get her during her patch, which should last about 1.5 months. (I'll fact check this, as I'm not 100% about how many resources you get at the start. If I don't reply, assume what I've summarized is correct.) If you are really nervous, you can always opt for the montly pass. It's 5$ and gives superb value. I would recommend getting it Day 1, if you are willing to do so.

[@m4sterb4it3r]

@@XastherReeD I see I see, thanks for the detail~

[@XastherReeD]

@@m4sterb4it3r I was somewhat right. You get 10 pulls in the tutorial and 10 default banners pulls at commandant level 50, as well as another 10 pulls for the new character banners, such as Alpha, somewhere in-between (these can't be used on the beginner banner). I do believe you should be able to get to level 50 in the first few days of play. So you only need another 5k BC/default banner cards to finish the beginner banner and 12.5k towards Alphas banner, since you get 2500k of that currency in the levels between 10 and 50.

[@waifu_x_hunter4086]

Hey Titan I have a question about the first beginner banner with the 40 guaranteed S pulls. Should I use my BC for this banner or better save all BC for the debut and their signature weapon banners. Since it seems its manageable to always get the s character on debut and their weapon I consider buying the monthly pass since you really get the most of it comparable to other games where even a monthly card doesnt give you much, it' s really F2P and low spender friendly this game. :)

[@XastherReeD]

That's up to you. If you buy the monthly pass and play actively, you should have enough for new S-Ranks and one pity-attempt on the sig weapons. Objectively it's probably better to save all your BC for BC-only banners and use your default banner cards to finish the Default banner. That would take you a few months, though. You get a bit more than 10 pulls every two patches, just enough to have enough pulls every time a new A-Rank debuts. The question then is: What are you gonna do with your Selector? Do you save it or pick a character, risking a dupe? As for me, I'm impatient. I'm gonna get the Beginner Banner out of the way and save from there.

i feel really bad watching all those guides that talk about end game and high (money) investment focused gameplay, while I just wanna play this game casually xD

[@XastherReeD]

Weeeeelll, I never make videos from the perspective of a spender, though. At most, I advertise the monthly pass. I do look at it from a meta perspective, though.

[@jenen77]

But alpha and rosetta arent on the selector..?

[@XastherReeD]

They aren't, but they will be patched into the game in the future and that information, if you want, can influence your S-Rank Selector decision.

[@tain4388]

I played JP server for the past 2 weeks to get a feel of the game before deciding whether I'm going to play on the EN server or not. I absolutely loved the game. But the thing is... I got S Karenina, S Nanami, S Kamui and A Watanabe which I somehow upgraded to SS during my rolls all in my first 2 weeks and now I'm scared to restart after watching this video lol Oh well, they're not gonna be of use anyways after I get alpha, correct? Also, should I pick A Liv in the standard banner at all time? I heard she's very good

[@XastherReeD]

In the long run you want/need more units to build different teams, because events and the challenge content later on require multiple unique teams. Alpha isn't gonna be allowed to just roll over everything. :) A-Liv is a core part of the lightning team, you want to bring her to SS for the lightning buff she provides then.

[@Mrmegacalvin]

soooin conclusion..... just choose whoever i want

[@duckmate8501]

Wait so there's gonna be a game braking unit named alpha later ?

[@Over-mh3wr]

So one thing I don't quite fully understand is how youre implying to use BC on the beginner banner to finish it, I thought they gave out enough beginner banner only pulls to finish the 40 pity. But based on yours and other comments I'm seeing here it looks like you only get 20 max pulls. Is this really the case? Do you absolutely have to use BC to finish it(not including any paid bundles)? Because I was hoping I could save all BC for event characters and not put any on the beginner banner.

[@XastherReeD]

After the 20 Beginner summons you get in the early stages of the game it slows down to a drip. You'll be able to scrap together about 10-12 summons every two patches. This sounds bad, but is exactly enough to guarantee getting every new A-Rank at 100%. If you are willing to wait 4 patches, roughly 5-6 months, then that would probably be optimal. I wouldn't recommend it, though. With all the BC you get at launch you should be able to finish the beginner banner and still save up enough for Alpha.

[@Over-mh3wr]

@@XastherReeD Thank you very much. I'll just use BC then.

[@Gaulwa]

I have been playing for 7 days, and so far I got 22 pulls on the beginner banner. How do you get the 40 pulls in 2-3 days? Did I miss something?

[@XastherReeD]

Any other time, beside now right after launch, it's a valid approach to use BC for finishing the Beginner Banner. Right now you should save them for Alpha, though.

[@darklight306]

So I got s-karenina from 40 beginner pity should I pick s-nanami over kamui?

[@rickye7547]

If you're planning to use karen as your main then yes, since S nanami gives fire deff break.

[@XastherReeD]

Long term S-Kamui is the better choice because Fire loses more and more relevance as time goes on.

[@darklight306]

@@XastherReeD thanks alot

[@MisterVerzuci]

What if I got lee in my first 10 pull? Who do I choose now?

[@toanngo1296]

Kamui

[@ashthefan179]

Who are the good A rank characters?

[@no.4047]

A Rank Lucia. Is the best for dps but her survivability is low. A - Liv is good in survivability and does constant healing but for a short time. Bianca and Lee is good for long range attacks and quite powerful but the burst aren’t so great.

[@ralphalano6273]

nanami karenina + liv best tandem

[@devinsetiawan8863]

biggest mistake in this game picking LEE and not kamui well i dont have alpha and i start play in fallen star patch.

[@masterofyolo6102]

Pulled 4 kamuis I’m set af for alpha

[@dearluciella5032]

S-Liv, A-Liv, or B-Live? I have them all and don't know who to invest?

[@no.4047]

B Liv is good because in the end, she’ll become an S rank cause of the shards. S Liv is good as well as A Liv. But if u want to spend ur selector on a healer then go for it but I would recommend to just play through the story and pull because B rank Liv is just as good as S Liv

[@lITACHl]

So if I pull Kamui in my 40 pity, I can chose whoever? Or S-Liv?

[@XastherReeD]

S-Liv would be recommended for challenging, non-timed content later on.

[@Rayn3rEx3]

I did not receive anything brUH

[@yamete_kudasai6969]

we can't choose S rank raven? the one with ponytails

[@XastherReeD]

She's not available at launch. You can only pick S-Ranks available at launch.

[@yamete_kudasai6969]

@@XastherReeD Oh I see. So she's a pure gacha luck unit available later in the game?

[@XastherReeD]

@@yamete_kudasai6969 Well, no. If you play actively and don't waste your premium currency outside of Debut Banners, you should be able to get her 100% guaranteed. As well as every other S-Rank. Refer to my Gacha Video for more information, if you haven't already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPHcoSClLJmsKM

[@houtaruouma9680]

Wait what, we can pick Lucia Crimson Abyss in that card? why when i played JP server, i couldnt select her

[@XastherReeD]

You can't pick Alpha from the Selector. I bring Alpha up because she is important for making the Selector decision.

Everytime he says Kamui i only here cowboy.

lowkey mad how bastion kamui looks way cooler than kamui tenebrion 😭😭 but i love playing kamui tenebrion so yeah..

How did you play this game on pc??

[@XastherReeD]

Android emulation on PC.

[@aldovk6681]

Subbed

[@berganera125]

So will it be like honkai? Where some characters where when they became ss rank or sss they completely transforms and dwarfs the base rank?

[@XastherReeD]

I didn't feel like that was the case when playing JP. The only thing holding my score on the leader-boards back was not having Alpha. Most of the power of units comes from having the correct units to pair them with, their signature weapon and the correct gear and playstyle. Higher ranks give you more stats and two passives, but they aren't all THAT impactful in my experience.
