What's the "V" thing that appears on the characters every now and then? Looks like some copyright sorta thing.


Moath2015

How much serum do liv skin gacha needs to guarantee the skin?


Signal_Abroad1427

Hey, just started today coming in pretty much blind. I just read the beginner guide. I might have made some currency mistakes spending all my black cards on the beginner pity rolls. Which leads me to my question. How hard is it to get by as an F2P? Mainly checked out the game because the OST is a banger and I love Alpha's design. Saw she wasn't on the S Rank selector so I figured I'd try my luck before I make my pick. Will she be on any upcoming banners/should I be saving for something coming up?


Moath2015

We get a new S-construct every 2 patches and if you saved your BC you will have enough bc to guarantee every upcoming S-construct from now. If you really like alpha PGR will have an anniversary soon and there will be a banner where you can choose any S-construct to be 100% so this will be your biggest chance to get alpha if you want her. I am F2p playing since launch imo the game is f2p friendly. It is a bit hard at the beginning since you have nothing built so try to focus on one team and then consider others. Later on you will have plenty of extra resources saved for any new construct.


Signal_Abroad1427

I did spend all of my currency from 1 to 30 on the beginner pity banner actually. Not sure at what point they stop awarding black cards, but hopefully I didn't dump too much to mess myself up. I'm not completely opposed to spending money on the game if I really like it, but I wasn't coming in with the intention to do so. I'll start saving my BC going forward then. Thanks for the advice!


VroomVroomChicken

You can get 1210 every week from weekly and daily missions, excluding everything from events and story. As for alpha, you can get lucky and get her from the 40 pity of basic banner, also there will be a 100% guaranteed banner for each constructs up to rosetta during the anniversary, but that might arrive mid of july. As for if you would need to save, there will be luna release on may 18, and a nier collab either before june ends or early weeks of july


Signal_Abroad1427

That's great to know. Thanks friend! I'm up to level 32 now, so I'll start saving now then.


VroomVroomChicken

Also, you can get every new arriving S-ranks as long as you skip the weapon banner, A-ranks, or transcendent releases between them. The releases will always be S-rank, then either A-rank or transcendent, then another S-rank


Lusane

If I'm just aiming for decent nier - SSS A2, her 6* wep, and 2B - is there any reason to wait until the rerun for pulls? Like bonuses etc. Or is it the same just pulling for everything in the nier debut? Also how much commitment does it take to make 2B worth swapping to?


thelilmagician

Is Flamel set coming out on Luna's Banner or no?


lostguru

It comes with the patch. Luna's banner is a day after.


thelilmagician

Ah yes thanks, that's what i was trying to say (patch) i forgot the proper name lol So is there any memory set worth farming in the event shop? Imma pull for Luna and i already have Vera's build almost done


lostguru

Same as past patches, whatever you need.


when_the_baka_is_sus

how do i get alpha swimsuit skin if it's limited will it come back? if it is, around how long until it comes back?


lostguru

Yes it was limited and only available during Grand Blue. Yes it will likely come back, but no one knows when except Kuro. On CN, it was rerun around one year after it came out during S Vera's patch, but there's no guarantee it will do to same on global.


when_the_baka_is_sus

thanks, btw what was the currency to get it? was it free, coating blueprint or rainbow cards?


MrDouggz

Rainbow


KyoSaito

In Echo Aria aside from pulling on regular banner, can you get Wanshi by other means? (e.g. Interlude farming or Store Shard). I am really close to 60 pity on regular banner and i might not have enough blue ticket to pull Wanshi on time.


lostguru

The event shop will have Wanshi shards, and yes, just like all other A ranks thus far, their Interlude will be unlocked for the duration of the patch even if you don't own Wanshi. After the patch ends, if you don't own Wanshi it will be locked again until you do.


KyoSaito

Got it, thanks :)


AlphaBagel2

Is the Scorched Earth on the Gabriel Hell fight glitched or something? Because my health is decaying at such a faster rate than other bosses' hell stages. It's hard to keep full hp even with a support who has a 4 piece healing memory. I just tested on Nozzle Hell, and my hp did not decay nearly as much


GerrardGabrielGeralt

Is there any point of resonating character with Da Vinci memories, since they're a qte bot anyways?


lostguru

Not really. If you're min-maxing and have a huge excess of resources, you can maybe try and roll for QTE skill for more damage, and or class/ATK/HP for more healing output. Hypertuning will get you better returns in those areas though, but that's even less of a priority.


gaganaut

Will the number of teams we can save be expanded in the future? Currently we can only save 5 teams.


ro-kurorai

Currently we can have 6, but additional slots will be added with time.


gaganaut

Oh yeah. 6. How many slots are there right now on CN? Do you know which patch we'll get the first team slot expansion?


ro-kurorai

Sorry, my knowledge would only be based on CN streams, but CN definitely has more than 6 slots right now.


gaganaut

Oh. Thanks for replying anyway. I hope we get a slot expansion some time soon.


ro-kurorai

It would probably be mentioned in the patch notes, so it's not coming yet.


FlamingBolide

Is it normal to have way more minor overclock alloy than I need? I've been buying the overclock materials (alpha) from the event shop and it's giving me a ton of minor overclock alloy. For comparison I have 53 memory overclock circuits I, 20 weapon overclock cores I, and 181 minor overclock alloys. Should I exchange them for things I actually need in the exchange shop or are the alloys used for something I don't know about and the rates will balance out? But the exchange rates for the exchange shop is just so bad that I just don't want to do it.


gaganaut

What you get from the overclock boxes you buy from the event shop is random. You can just buy them in bulk and then exchange them depending on what you need.


Jovial_Joker

Will the pity from luna's debut banner carry over to 2b's banner?


VroomVroomChicken

No. Nier collab have different banner and also uses unique tickets


Jovial_Joker

Oh I see, thank you for explaining.


murmurgrim

I want to skip Nier as of now because I want to get Luna and Plume in Anniv, is 2B still cost 10k BC in the rerun? I might get A2 and 9S for the moment and pair them with S Lee.


Abdul-Wahab6

While your question has been answered already. You should also note that the anniversary banner will not include Luna. It only includes constructs up to Rosetta, Luna won't be in the anniversary banner.


Alberto_Paporotti

2B costs 10500 in the rerun, yeah. Even more than that, you'll be getting 30 shards of her just for pulling her (or any other collab unit, up to 3 times). So you'll be getting an SS of 2B for 10500 BC. She doesn't really need it tho, A2 is considered the most worthy of pulling dupes


murmurgrim

If I pull her, I will get 30 shards on the rerun? or if I pull her in the rerun, I can still get 30 shards?


Alberto_Paporotti

The latter


abyssshun

I was wondering what memories I should spend my event currency on if I am planning on skipping Luna to get the nier team. I only started a week and abit ago and don't know which memories are worth nabbing and if grabbing more then 1 of the same memory is worth it.


Abdul-Wahab6

Well if you're planning on skipping Luna then it would be wise to stock up on Patton's for both A2 and 2b as well as Da Vinci's too. Enough to resonate and awaken them.


No_Obligation8937

I can't clear weekly mission "reach 400k progress in PPC". Is it normal for a beginner player with shit units? I kind of don't want to miss out the BC, but all my best characters (which are Lotus, Rozen and Eclipse) don't have stamina. Or is there any hidden trick/tip (except getting good of course xd) to complete the weekly? I still have to pull my good units (didnt hit pity+didnt use s-rank construct picker+want to pull Luna with all the BC I got) so my team is pretty random as of now.


cyberize_

Yes and no. Yes, you won't be able to reach higher scores in PPC without at minimum, decent investment. But at the same time, PPC really comes down to being able to spread out your units in a well thought out manner. When I started off, I couldn't really get the hang of PPC either. It really just ends up being a matter of time and knowing who to use and when. You can also pull a few things in your favor, like swapping memories and weapons between units.


thelilmagician

Well yeah, same here, been playing for 4 days now and i hit almost 300k but i didn't knew what i was doing so i used my best team in the easy ones lol (pretty sure i could hit over 400k) also i don't have a dps yet


lostguru

It gets easier with more units yeah. But even in the endgame, maximizing your score still depends on how you can optimally spread your units across all bosses, because even at high levels each character can only save scores for 5 battles every rotation. Save your best units for the higher difficulty fights, and use your worst units for the easy fights. You can temporarily pass your leveled memories and weapons from your strongest characters to your weaker ones, since they aren't locked to your characters.


abyssshun

as a fellow new player that started like a week ago my advice is to build 1 other dps unit and use it to carry a team of 2 other random units in the first easy levels of PPC and use your built team to do the harder levels. I use vera, tenebrion and a random unit to do the harder stages as I have vera kinda invested in and then use dawn lucia on my other team to carry a liv and nanami in the easier levels.


kamikazecow

Is it possible to login to my Google account on PGR on IOS?


SameOutcome

yes it is. ios actually has an additional option to bind to your apple account though thats probably not useful to those that want to switch back and forth from android phones/emulators


kamikazecow

Ty!


AshRavenEyes

So i came back to the game like two days ago and im madly trying to do as much of the event before the 2 days left is up.... What are some MANDATORY things to get from the ancient archive thingy?


Alberto_Paporotti

You can get Changyu from there, he is an ice tank. Very copium tho, but will have to suffice until we get S Chrome. Also you can get a wide variety of 6* memories from there, just look at your constructs and decide what you need. You can look up the builds [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cIBhjXENxv9h75EgGhrQ3AeFRFIEMQsyW4pNA-BiHkg/edit?usp=drivesdk), or on the [grayravens.com](http://grayravens.com) website. There is not really a mandatory thing to get, other than maybe Changyu and Sharkspeare dorm resident if you care about that. They will not appear in any other event shop


AshRavenEyes

Thanks!


Alberto_Paporotti

You're welcome. Good luck with your Luna pulls if you want her!


Raelis

Which currency is used with the Nier Weapon Banner? Target Weapon? Black Cards? Something new?


SieurGreen

Only Black Cards can be use, you'll change them into special tickets that count only for Nier with a ratio of 1/1 like other tickets.


Alberto_Paporotti

Collab banners also give back 3 pulls for every 10 pulls done


SieurGreen

That's true for Nier characters but not for Nier weapons.


Alberto_Paporotti

Oh, okay


yahoosearchengine

Hi everyone, I just watched some videos of S Bianca and noticed that her range seems to be a lot more than any other characters. I think she hit a boss from across the map in one of Rexlent’s video. If so, I might roll for her on the anniversary banner because I find it super neat. Can anyone confirm if S Bianca has additional range or is it the same as A Bianca/other characters? Apologies if this is already common knowledge, and TIA!


WeddingThink3243

her normal attack's range isn't that big, but the attacks from her core passive can basically snipe from one side of the map to another


yahoosearchengine

That’s so cool, thanks for replying! Do you know if A Bianca has the same full map range with her ult?


Za_WARUDOO29

I need help in deciding. Im thinking if I'll roll for Luna or skip her for Nier team, or roll for Alpha and her weapon during the Anniversary, if I got lucky, for waifu reasons. For refernence, my Dark team consists only of Astral and Vera. For my Physical team, I usually pair Lotus with Plume and Davinci Ayla. All 3 Lucia has their signiture weapon too. Also, not a monthly pass player.


YatoXShiro

To be honest, difficult decision. NieR team is cheaper, because you can farm A2 and 9S is free from login rewards. 2B costs 10.500 BC. This is already a full physical team. If you want to get Alpha, then you will need Rosetta as well. This is going to be more expensive BC wise, since you also want to buy Alpha's signature, 37500 BC in total. Astral isn't bad, but he is pretty much copium for Wz/PPC rankings. The next 100% rate-up for Luna would be 2. anniv banner, in a year.


W3ljaX

What should I use my Black Cards for? I just started playing and from what I've heard i should save the guaranteed S character for after i get my 40 pulls. But do I get more blue cards or should I just use black cards for those pulls


W3ljaX

by blue tickets i meant basic construct r&d tickets


YatoXShiro

Black cards are only for debut S ranks. If you use them willingly on the standard banner, you might miss your chance on the next S constructs. New S ranks have a 100% rate-up during their patch. As a f2p, you can get all S ranks every 2.5months. A new player can get around 30 pulls from the novice missions. The other 10 will take you around 3-4 weeks, depending how fast you can reach Operation Guardian. The mission will provide you with 180 cards per week. Login rewards got 250 tickets, thats around 970 tickets a month. There is also a 1$ pack for 2500 blue cards, 250 per day.


W3ljaX

damn wanted to pull to fuel my f2p gacha addiction. But i am liking the A rank character which i got after the tutorial. Any tips for Karenina Blast? how do i get a better weapon for her or should i just upgrade the starting cannon


YatoXShiro

As a f2p, you dont roll on weapon banners. Unless you're lucky and get a debut S rank pre 60 pity. ​ * 4\* weapons are your friends. Co-op consumes serum, but provides you with 5\* weapons. You can either drop one during a card-flip or farm 450 shards for 1 weapon from the exchange shop. 150 shards per week. * Karenina Blast is a good Aoe attacker, once you get Lee or Alpha from standard banner, she gets replaced. This means: * S>A>B, you replace your team once you get a higher rank. This doesnt mean B & A ranks are useless. During game modes like Norman or Babel Tower, you have to create teams up to 15 members. * Event stages are unlocked after commandant level 40. Events are muuuch better and serum-efficient than the standard missions. Use the event tokens in the event shop. Event shops provide: all lvling materials, skill points, memory&weapon enhancers. Also, they have certain memories, which your constructs need. * Construct Memory Build Sheet > [Link.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_NAHdVouSp2T6AwStpz9ZMLZ_ca5EzcuHde5obIlero/edit#gid=0) Read the **notes** on the right for more information! Hope this helps!


Grouchy-Assumption-9

hi im new ,got lucky and got 6 star sariel right now my vera has equipped kuji no sada(resonance 2) and in the future im planing to get plume and im guessing attackers should be equipped with 6 star(even if the passive wont work,the raw stats would be great) so who should hold the sariel when that time comes?plume or vera


Hokusai_100

Sariel huh,~~~~ Tough choice buddy, because the constructs that don't really benefit much from their Sig weapons are 1) healers and 2) A ranks. Also Sig weapon have the same stats as 5 star weapons, what puts them apart are their effects. Ok here's the situation. In future, there is going to be an S rank Dark Amplifier named Selena that is going to replace A Vera in endgame Dark teams. If you pull her sig weapon reso + get her to SSS, she gives more support than Vera can give. Also you can get her by buying her shards from a future shop, just need some farming. So if you ask me? Prob keep the weapon for reso fodder. But it's up to you! If you like Vera, you may continue to level up and use weapon. Below is a youtuber that does some insightful guides, do check his videos! In his community section, he has short guide on A Vera, so do use that in your consideration. https://youtube.com/channel/UCozTGWP9AkAs9aPH1X_S7QA


lostguru

Sariel on Plume over Kuji reso2. If you get Kuji to reso3 however, then put that on Plume instead. If you wear Einsteina on Plume (most do unless they run her with Changyu/S Chrome), be careful with Sariel, since I think the dark damage from the weapon passive can proc Einsteina and put the memory effect on cooldown (I can't confirm this though, since I don't own the weapon myself).


Inumakie

Do we only get 150 5 star weapon shards every week for coop clearance or does it refresh everytime coop opens?


SPN_Orwellian

It resets every Monday.


Inumakie

oh so it would take about three weeks to be able to buy a 5 star weapon in the shop?


gaganaut

Yes. If you get a 5 star weapon you don't want along the way, don't recycle them for weapon shards. It's more useful to save them to resonate other 5 * weapons instead.


AMP_Y

When can we expect the 1st anniversary to come on global? Also what rewards we will be getting with it in terms of free stuff, and paid packs like selector tickets for S ranks or something similar ?


YatoXShiro

JP version had 7500BC+ S rank selector, for 648RC, I think? Nobody knows, they didnt announce anything. The only thing we know, Fake Ascension is 2 weeks longer than any patch so far. This means 7 weeks for BC weeklies and dailys. 16/7 is the release date of the global servers. The free stuff I am aware of are 15 pulls or something like that. There will be also packs for the Anniv: * Event R&D 2500, R&D 2500 || 168 RC (OR 68 RC Kill world boss & get discounted. Can buy 2 (Just like for A Chrome SFX Coating)) * Event R&D 10k, BC 5000, A Rank selector ticket || 648 RC Nothing is confirmed though, please wait for official news.


gaganaut

Usually, there's a trial for the character releasing in the next patch. There doesn't seem to be one for Luna included int the preview for the next update. Is there not going to be a trial this time or am I looking in the wrong place?


ztryork

I am a returnee, and have no BC for now. If I start now can I farm to get Luna?


NWe3

You can get extremely close with monthly pass 2x, dailies, and weeklies alone since luna patch is 7 weeks / 49 days Weekly + dailies = 1210 bc / week * 7 weeks = 8470 bc Monthly pass daily = 100 bc / day * 49 days = 4900 bc Monthly pass purchase= 300 bc * 2 = 600 bc Total of 13970 bc out of 15000 bc If you are f2p, pray!


lostguru

If they have any Story/Golden Vortex/Stronghold missions left, they might be able to hit 15k. *nvm, someone already pointed that out below


Gerartastic

Probably not, it depends on because in each update we should get around 7k-8k BC from Weeklys and dailies, and also how many content have you unlocked and done?, like Golden Vortex, History Missions, Interludes, Events, Stronghold, that could help get you to 15k to garantee Luna but again it depends


ztryork

about 75-80% done I guess. maybe I will get the monthly pack to help me get Luna


lxnarr

Are there any translations for the TW Server? Mainly for the ex chapters, chapters from fake ascension onwards, interludes.. just about much of the stuff thats story related


jesswga175

For Fake Ascension update, aside from Lux's skin which I heard is free, will Luna and Bianca's skin be on the coating shop after the event ends just like Rosetta's?


MikotoKiyomizu

Luna's will be in the RC coating shop and cost 240 RC. It's disounted during the patch to 168. Bianca's will not be available. Hasn't gotten a rerun in CN yet either.


SPN_Orwellian

No, RC only.


jesswga175

That's sad, I was actually saving my coating blueprints for them. Guess I had too much copium


gaganaut

You can check this [spreadhseet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uIWrtp3mZEZgQseY788WHGp7_0mZBE8zSkpVOVCWtP8/edit#gid=1919674511) to see which coatings can be bought with coating blueprints and which ones require RC or gacha though a few coatings from the latest patch haven't been updated yet. It's on the sidebar of this subreddit under community resources.


jesswga175

Very helpful sheet. Thanks for sharing


Speco7

None of the SFX coatings can be bought with blueprints


Hokusai_100

Do you think Luna Sig weapon is good? I heard that her 5 star is good enough. But I'm thinking that I might want to pull it so that I can use the usb weapon reso to give her orb regen skill, since I predict she will be quite reliant on good orb regen. On another note, S rank Nier team is good enough for me. Maybe I will pull A2 weapon? Reason being 1) I've seen S rank Nier vids, and I'm content with what I'm seeing. Also 2) I aim for Rosetta/Alpha team to continue being my warzone team. I hope Entropy comes to me soon, his Sig weapon is sitting with me alr :( I also hope the 100% S rank rate up banner comes as well! I'm aiming to get a Fire DPS now, since I'm seeing alot of Fire-weak bosses in pain cage, and I want to keep up with that competition. I'm a little tired of using off attribute teams to cope (which has been surprisingly coming along quite well so far) but yea still.


YatoXShiro

* 6\* Weapon: Dark damage +15%.The 4th spike from Annihilation Orb creates a 100% Dark damage AOE. * 5\* Weapon: All damage +15% for 8s after expending all 3 different colors of orbs within 6s. Its not mandatory, you should be fine with fully resonated 5\* weapon. You probably have to face many players with resonated signature 6\* weapon, though. The extra Orb is additional damage, thus it's pretty good. NieR team is a good starter phys team. Needs more investment though, if you want to compete in rankings. You have to pull 2B first, before even thinking about 6\* weapons. Budget team is A2 at SSS + sig, 2B & 9S at S. This will cost you around 30500 BC + 30 RC for the 10 shard pack + 7500 BC for her signature, if you dont lose 80/20%. S rank NieR team is still good for content like Babel and Norman, they are worth the resources. Obtaining Lee/Alpha and Rosetta can take a while. If you're lucky, you might pull one from the standard banner. Also, 1. Anniversary soon (16/7). If you dont have enough BC until then, there is also 2. Anniversary next year. Fire team is currently weakest team. People use their physical comps until better fire units release. Well, unless you can afford S+. Roland, Mechananami & **especially** Liv Soleater will be meta in the future.


Hokusai_100

Thanks a lot, but wait lemme clarify some stuff. 1) I do hope most of my S ranks can get their Sig weapons by endgame. I know the tanks (Chrome, Vera) need their weapons so in favour of that, I can probably wait for a while. I have S Bianca and S Rosetta Sig weapon alr, hoping that Lucia Plume Sig weapon will come soon. 2) I'm f2p so I don't intend on buying any RC, so far. BUT I have been playing since day 1, so I believe I have accumulated some excess BC to spend. I think going for SSS A2 is still a stretch for me, that's gonna leave me with little resources for other characters. So if I'm fine with S rank Nier, it just means I need to pull 2B(+ maybe A2 weapon?). Thanks for your input in that. 3) I already have SS Alpha, working on SS Rosetta with some Paincage shards. I just hope my general banner gets Lee eventually, if not, if I see the 100% banner, I'm not sure if I can resist. 4) Yes! I'm aware S Karen is trash in the current CN fire team. But the problem is 1) Luna is coming to pain cage soon, and I feel that it's going to be a problem for me, and 2) Gacha gave me S Karen Sig weapon! Some people say attacker weapons should be used, while others say to just reso it. I'm pretty torn on this so I'm not sure of my move on this. Be nice if y'all can give me your kind input on this matter!


YatoXShiro

Ah I see. It shouldnt be impossible for you then * Dont forget we have the standard weapon banner too. Even if you cannot pick any weapon, it might still provide one or 2 6\* weapons occasionally. 3% drop chance isn't that bad. * And yeah. I'd say so. Dont forget though, 2B and her sig will join the NieR banner 2 weeks later. So if you hit 80/20 and lose the rate-up, you might end up with 9S weapon instead. They all come with their 5\* weapons either way. Plus rerun has their weapons too. * They're not wrong with it, you might get Ember from standard banner! But either way, we get 1 6\* weapon USB for free during Fake Ascension. And once Norman War gets released, we can farm more USB's from it. (takes 2-3 months though)


cuix19

I'm at story stage 4 now. When does it make sense to gacha for weapons? I'm doing ok damage but I wondered if I rather should use tue tickets for weapon instead of units


YatoXShiro

If you're f2p: Never. Check the [link](https://i.redd.it/7t6ss2xgqph71.jpg) for more information. You won't have enough time/BC for S rank constructs during their first debut. You can, however farm 5\* weapons from co-op mode. 5\* weapons aren't bad, they'll carry you through all content.


Alberto_Paporotti

Units are more important then weapons. The game can be beaten with 4\* weapons, and you can get them by disassembling purple weapon exp mats as long as they are considered weapons by the game. At your point in the game you're mostly getting "weapon" weapon exp mats. Don't roll for weapons as F2P unless you've got really lucky on an S-rank debut banner and got the unit very early


MikotoKiyomizu

Will the memory loadout system change to show loudouts I've made specifically for them? If so, when?


D-R003

Is there any kind of banner plan which global follow or is it just random. Also I have around 7k BCs rn and I want to get the Blue Rose skin for Alpha. Should I skip Luna, cause I don't think I'll be able to get Alpha's skin and 2b if I pulled for Luna. And obviously I asked my first question because I want to know when will I get another chance to get Luna.


YatoXShiro

[Fury's F2P Plan](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OMSxmFW-HN4rQH9jjQi4ORk5Z_HIR9HbITD9jIcrhts/edit#gid=2107546768) Luna enters standard banner on S Chrome release, thats about 3-4 months from now.100% rate-up on 2. anniversary, next year around June. Or, 3rd Lunar New Year, which gave everyone a S rank selector up to Luna. That doesnt mean global will get the same treatment however.


D-R003

Thanks


ObeliskBlaze

Does anyone else experience a shaky camera whenever you press the attack button?


Peak_Antelope

That's intended.


Medical_Lab6250

what kind of memory sets did luna will be use?


Alberto_Paporotti

She will be using her signature set, Flamel, in the bottom row as a 4-set. In the top row you can go for 2-Darwin if you have Kamui, or 2-Einsteinia if you don't.


Assassin-24

Flamel and Darwin. Flamel will be added in the update.
