THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO WATANABE EPITAPH | Punishing Gray Raven

[@Spider2B]

To not spend all my free time working on guides, I decided to record this guide live on twitch.tv/spider_2b and have my gigachad editor make it pretty, if you guys don't mind this format, guides will probably continue. Thanks for watching! Imma go sleep, I got work in like 6 hours lol. Note: Sometimes I rotate like this: 1. Swap in 2. 3 ping 3. Ult 4. Hold dodge + basic attack to procc grapple matrix 4. Basic attack + blaze orb 3x (can dodge cancel) 5. Ult finish Personally I find this easier to push out damage (at least that's what my muscle memory defaults too) but both rotations have similar damage anyway, so its all about speed.

[@raigil106]

this format is good as long as its not impacting the other things you need to prioritize spider ❤️

[@Smittywerbenya]

just you uploading guides is a blessing itself

[@kaiserium8551]

Whatever makes it work out for all of us!

[@kylundil]

the guides are greatly appreciated and your editor did a great job, keep em coming if you can

[@of_Crazy]

​@@Spider2B That's what I tell myself: don't push yourself too hard, do what feels most comfortable to you. Anyway, this video format is great. I always recommend your guides to my friends as you always know how to explain things in the best possible way.

[@diafenix]

...kept us waiting, huh? thanks for your work, I really wish you are doing well!

[@Spider2B]

Next one will prob come out before maintenance haha.

[@diafenix]

@@Spider2B you're good my guy! ...Unk made me broke and Qu is looking at me very worried from her future patch 🥲

[@RaevenGames]

I'm so happy to see this and want you to know how thankful I am for this content you put out there. I hope all is well on your end.

[@Spider2B]

It's goin better

[@allasianalee]

Yay the master of guides has returned!

[@Lichtonatus]

The Spider Returns!

[@drifter7002]

This format came out really nice actually. It doesnt feel any less informational or entertaining and it still has your style to it. We appreciate you for trying to find a compromise that lets you keep making guides while looking after your own wellbeing.

17:33 Alpha is so OP she managed to time stop Wata and mess up Spider's Time 😂🙏

[@METD23]

Happy to see the guides continue! I, for one, do not mind the new "format". Keep it up like this (long as you can mange it, dont burn yourself out) and we'll all be happy little boys and girls. o7

I love how you considered different level of investments man! You're the GOAT of PGR guides! Thanks!

This format is good. Keep it up man. Take care of yourself.

Thanks for the feedback!

Spider2B Is back. Thanks as always for your amazing guides, since years always watching your PGR Guides and from other PGR content creators. Glad your back :D

[@dennisengland4770]

I got the chills when you said Lee hyperreal is now sub dps.

[@stevelin2415]

Nice guide. Not so polished like it was but still good enough if you and your team can have more personal free time. Feel good watching your guide. Concise and excited to try him once I know how to play.

[@Samira117-v2r]

Im so happy to have you back ❤️ thanks for the guide!

[@Doctor_Yiggles]

Thanks for the guide. I've been missing a strong fire tank so will be pulling for him!

[@tuanafiqtuananuar298]

Glad to see you back! But take care of your health

I'm doing better! Thanks for your concern.

[@ZeroSchrodinger1]

Glad to see you again, i really liked the guide.

[@asolasgmx8241]

In all my 3 years of pulling, Watanabe was the 1st to come early!!! I'm so happy yet sad, but happy more for now 🥹🥹🥹

[@RealVonk]

I like this format. Keep it up bro. 💪🏻

[@lord2674]

Great guide man thank you for the video

[@albroiser]

thanks for the guide! Great as always, this format is very good, as a very low spender this back to back big units are taking all my black cards away. And if I can give you a sugestion, since you'll be doing this format from now on, maybe a heads up for possible spoilers since you play on the CN servers.

[@TinyyTato]

Yaaay you're back love your PGR guides

[@juniorvaldir8775]

Thank you as always for your time

[@regex2660]

So, I'm just gonna put this here incase I forgot about Epitaph's kit: About the "Hold dodge + basic attack to proc grapple matrix" thing, it's really more like "hold dodge > wait for unc to pull/get pulled > AND THEN press/hold basic attack". I was confused for like 5 minutes straight in the training area trying to proc matrix without success by holding dodge and basic attack at the same time. XD

[@Aswero21]

My goat has returned

[@Prahastaa.]

We're so backkkk

[@luxifer185]

I was not expecting a guide vid, I guess I get to keep watching my go to guide maker

[@feralchimaera99]

Sadly I'll skip Unc for Qu's long legs, but I'll definitely get him once he's available in the guaranteed selector banner. Old man deserves it since i don't even have a dmg dealer in my fire team aside from....BRS..

[@Spider2B]

In time

[@TheFinalEpic]

He's back! I'm excited

[@A_better_alternative]

From trying it out it looks like you need SS to get enough sig energy to get that rotation you explained working. Unless i'm missing something. I have the Cottie 2 piece so not sure what it could be besides that.

[@Spider2B]

Yes that's why ss is minimum

[@peejayeastwood3326]

Welcome back spyder 2b. I really missed your contents.

[@lucianofyro3445]

Thank you I'm still trying my best to remember how to use his combo properly. It sounds easy but when I played on fast pace I suddenly forgot everything xD

I pulled this man in the first pull in 10(my pity was 4/60),Love this game dude

[@marselherdian1674]

question sir, we all know that leap has 3 unlockable passive for each category, and every Level 18 leap passive always have something like "[Passive name] added effect", for example : [Passive: Martyrdom] added effect: After pinging the 3rd set of orbs during [Empyreal Prayer], if there are any remaining Signal Orbs of the same color as the 3rd set of orbs pinged, consume up to 3 Signal Orbs of the same color and increase the Extra DMG Bonus of [Empyreal Prayer] by 5% / 10% / 15% based on the number of orbs consumed. which is the "Martyrdom" refered to liv empyrea's SSS passive name, so the question is, after we leap our character (in this example is Liv) do we get the SSS passive as well? or is it only be benefit if we have the specific rank unlocked? (in this example need to be SSS first). because i only have rosetta, astral, and vera rozen leaped, which their SS/SSS/SSS+ are not changing any gameplay mechanism, basically just get stronger, so i cannot see the difference for now.

[@Spider2B]

yeah you need the rank

[@rex11productions7]

Finally got my Watanabe using the blue tickets anniversary standard banner selector 🎉😊

Saving for DMC Dante, Vergil, and Nero.

[@isobaramark7032]

So you are gonna skip all these powerful units that will make your gameplay fun and easy, to get a much more weaker collectors item?

[@hamimavalon8332]

Thanks Brother ❤

[@Morichoradio]

You still need lee to make the fire team comparable and/or rival current lightning team and future Ice team Replacing lee to use nanamecha is only because of ppc but ppc will remove its rank and competitive functions in the near future based on the CN info

[@Spider2B]

Yup. Some tabkier fire paincage bosses watanabe also can't finish himself, he runs out of orbs.

[@sacharoset8134]

Great guide as always, but i just have one question. I have two spare 6 star weapons to use for reso, saving one for qu next patch, who should i use the other on? (SS Lee, Liv, and Wata all with sig and no reso).

[@Spider2B]

Wata for sure

[@anurag3154]

Welcome back.

Glad the 5* weapon still works smh... I tried pulling the 6* one but LOST now I can't afford to use more bc cause Qu😭 Also welcome back and thanks for dropping this guide, your guides are my favorite 😭

[@QuodySchzel]

MY GOAT!!!!

[@ChomskysGaming]

hey, i dont understand how the hold dodge and attack works, it doesn't always works, what causes matrix to trigger when holding dodge and basic ? i can't find it in his kit

[@Spider2B]

It has an internal cooldown (about every other rotation)

[@dreamercross]

i missed your guides 😭😭😭

[@theintruder8930]

I put my 2 set cottie on the top row, is it gonna make my watanabe weaker ?

[@thomamone8389]

a quick question please, so i started the game like 50 days ago and i made some mistakes along the way and i didnt equip lamia with cottie and i also didnt equip watanabe with either the shakespeare or cottie 2 pcs, now i have 0 hypertune materials to change their builds and i wanted to ask is the einsteina 2 pc set good or comparable on watanabe to the other options? and if i harmonize 2 pcs einsteina with 2 pcs cottie is it still good or i should chaange them. the one thing i have the most problem right now are hypertune materials and i dont know what to do or how to get enough to hypertune my characters especially with these 2 mistakes and qu releasing next patch (which means i have to also save hypertune materials for her).

[@Sigma993]

He's definitely a must pull in regard of being super meta in two teams, but the problem is Qu releasing right afterwards. Had to skip Qu bc of him on JP and playing the ice-team without her absolutely sucks. I definitely regret pulling him over Qu since Nanamech will be in the S-rank selector during the Luna patch and having her and Qu just seemed the better choice!

[@Spider2B]

Yep that's the dilemma. 2 back to back strong s ranks.

[@Shimon24]

hey this solidified my choice of not getting Epitaph lol

[@raxtenjiferrer1914]

got him in 20 pulls and his weapon in 5! now we wait for qu...

[@andrewpop8694]

Should I pull for his weapon or should I wait and pull for next patch's Qu weapon, is she more dependent on her weapon?

[@thaihoangtien6689]

thanks for sharing about build, I need you update harmonization builds, pls!

[@babadookdi4921]

I’m gonna save for either Qu or Vera’s coating then will get him on free S rank selector banner.

[@peaceaintpeaceful]

got him in 10 pulls and his sig in 17. 🌋🌋🌋 god speed everyone

[@arteliniusz.5872]

Nice guide as always, but I have a question regarding his memory build. Won't it be wise to just slap Shakespeare to him from the get go? Since his cottie build will be retired once Pyroath and Oblivion come out, so you won't waste precious memory chips on memories that will be replaced.

[@Spider2B]

You'll get PLENTY of resources until then. But you can IF you have deadline timing. Rn watanabe is the main damage and you wanna spam his orbs and ults over the shred from Shakespeare.

[@rall.m]

btw im using him at ss rank, he can solo ice stage in norman cloud island without buff. too good to be skipped

[@megatron5592]

How do you hold atk + Dodge on mobile device?

[@Spider2B]

you do hold dodge THEN basic attack, they dont need to be at the same time.

[@megatron5592]

@@Spider2B ah i see, i thought you press them at the same time

Finally I waited for this content. I have a question, if I don't have Hyperreal, can I use Lee Palefire to rotate a team of Epitaph and Palefire characters? because I want to learn to rotate Palefire and Epitaph teams

You can use palefire but you still need to 2 ult with nabe.

@@garennnlzt If you can still tolerate nanamecha's clunky playstyle, Go for hyperreal SS-SS3 + Sig or you can go for watanabe right now and wait for the next anniversary banner to get hyperreal. Hyperreal needs his weapon and SS rank Watanabe doesnt need his weapon but get his SS rank Get Empyrea's leap once its available in GL servers

@@garennnlzt If you can still tolerate nanamecha's gameplay, you can pull for SS watanabe and wait for the next anniversary to get SS + Sig hyperreal Take note that all you need is SS for uncle for him to function properly. You will need to spend a bit more on lee since he badly needs his weapon.
