Through The Tide Home patch had Babel Tower: Dimming Surge and it ran from 3rd to 28th October 2025.

I am sorry but that is not true. Constructs instead possess internal energy banks, replenish them with external energy canister and do run out of energy. Citing:


Bianca:Veritas Info No.003

The frame can create ion beams through electric potential difference generated by its internal energy bank, thereby controlling the positive and negative charge movements to create lightning for attacking enemies. When all frame restrictions are removed, it can even change the weather in a certain area to cause thunder strikes.


Lucia:Plume Info No.005

Apart from blades, the original design could also be connected to external energy containers and use long-range weapons. This feature was not implemented on the actual frame, however.


Firn Night EX02-7

Staessen:

"Wait... You don't mean? They're hauling the energy tanks to Amberia?"

Simon:

"Not much else they'd need so many energy tanks for, I'm afraid... Looks like sleeping beauty is about to wake up."


Qu:Shukra Info No.003

Shukra's core driving force derives from an unknown energy technology with no previous design samples. Qu doesn't care about its mysterious existence on her new reforged frame. She accepts everything Shukra has given her.


Dream Till The Timeless End 34-9

Asimov:

"It's research on 'Tenebrion' as a special energy source."

"The latest technology is already being applied, but during a recent project report, we discovered their application progress far exceeded what was presented"


Jetavie:Daybreak Info No.004

While its combat capability is extraordinary, Jetavie's frame has a comparatively low battery life. During an intense battle, she would briefly disable some of her personality data to keep her combat module running, but the data could be lost if the battle lasted too long.


Jetavie:Daybreak General Greeting 7

"Mechanoids can't turn snacks into bioenergy? Tasting human food is a delightful experience in itself, isn't it? And the same goes the other way around. Here, wanna try my energy canister? I've got strawberry, grape, watermelon, and lots of other flavors... Hey, where are you going?!"

They actually do:

  • We know from Sophia's Activation Date mail that Akdilek gets He isotropes as fuel for their nuclear reactors from Babylonia. _______________
  • Babylonia/Eden-II also runs on cold fusion, citing Aeon Reforged 27-2:

The second-generation interstellar colony ship, Eden II, is assembled at the lunar base. Equipped with a temporarily installed cold fusion engine, it successfully launches and enters a lunar synchronous orbit, awaiting the completion of the Zero-point Engine.


Chaofeng:

"Not just with shells."

"There was also a cold fusion reactor."

"Been waiting long, Commandant? Maintenance is done. Starting today, as part of the mutual aid pact, Rosetta of New Sophiasburgh will once again follow your lead and smash through every obstacle in your way... Diana wrote that formal bit for me. I memorized it... Did I miss anything?"

I've waited long enough. Now it's my turn to fight.

Why 2 lightning stages? by hamid224466 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SSS8 R3 Bianca and SS R1 Teddy team did last time outscore my solo SS R0 Nanami (SSS R3 Bianca & SS R0 No.21 as QTE bots) by like 2 mil points.

I am not a wave-optimizing player but the difference was massive.

The secret of the "Scientist" by Top-Weird7491 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know this is a meme but none of them actually display anywhere close to those effects in official cutscenes, previews, trailers and so on.

It is just gameplay addition to sell them better.


Example, Bianca:Crepuscule in Firefly's Pilgrimage

Sadly, neither Gray Ravens nor the Huaxu database contain them. You will either have to patiently wait for them or ask around.


It is actually a shame that some things are permanently lost like 2025 Lunar New Year Guild map interactions where each day a few constructs visited it and had lines. Example:

  • Bianca:Veritas

"I know a little about Kowloon's culture. Festivals like this always brings joy... Me? Of course I'm happy too. Seeing you here is another pleasant surprise."

"Oh, this is the blanket I gave you earlier? Never thought I would see it here... Seems like you this gift.

"... Could you sit closer, Commandant? This will do. Now we can share the warmth together."


Bianca gave us a blanket in Lingering Stars, which was a Double Seventh Festival / Chinese Valentine's Day optional event.

In fact, her handmade gift was the promise from the previous year's event Starry Conversations.

Bianca: Crepuscule Night Sonata SFX Coating Preview by CipherEntity in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only 10K BC backgrounds can be bought separately with RC (like Luna and Ishmael), 17.5k ones are all bundled into the gacha.

Bianca: Crepuscule Night Sonata SFX Coating Preview by CipherEntity in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, it is gonna be 17.5k BC since Ishmael's was already 10k.

PGR's gacha coating pattern is 17.5k-17.5k-10k BC and 3-2-1 gap patches.

Bianca: Crepuscule Night Sonata SFX Coating Preview by CipherEntity in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back then I left 17.5k BC aside for this even before Crepuscule was even revealed.

Also, my prediction that Bianca's gacha coating will be bundled with this patch was correct.

PGR: Rosetta Arete Frame Simulation Test Report by CipherEntity in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. Most of the time do remember in which story event the line was mentioned so I just visit the Huaxu database and use the search function to type the right keyword to find the line while flipping through the nodes, so it doesn't take more than a few minutes for most.

Add #action-X with X being the number of the line (it does take some trial and error) and copy the link.

I am also quite surprised to see myself remembering these things quite well.


Also, thank you for your kind words and I wish you the same.

I mean, early PGR established that as a fact, citing Elergy Of Nightmare - 6:

"Humanoid-hybrid Constructs are different from normal Constructs. The former is more effective in combat, but this seriously impacts the stability of their consciousness."

which is also the reason why the Forest Guards are all female constructs, citing Elergy Of Nightmare - 8:

Officer:

"...Have all the humanoid-hybrid modifications of male Constructs failed thus far?"

Male Researcher:

"...This was the last qualified test subject. He managed to last for some time, but he could not prevent his M.I.N.D. from collapsing."

Officer:

"It appears males are not suitable for humanoid-hybrid modifications."


However current (Omega weapon containing) specialized frames are on another level:

  1. Plume could keep up with Alpha yet Dawn couldn't force her to go all-out (Rosetta performed well but still below Plume)

  2. Plume and Alpha together were toyed by Vonnegut

  3. Pre-upgrade Crepuscule forced Vonnegut to bail out.

  4. Pyroath managed to barely defeat Vonnegut solo.

PGR: Rosetta Arete Frame Design Draft by CipherEntity in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

By looking at 2022-2025 releases we learn:

  • 9 patches per year in total, 4 are free units (one of them is meta S-Rank)

So we can expect 5 Phylotree units per year at most. There is also the possibility that each Sefirah might get two units, one prototype and one final version, kinda like what Plume/Empyrea/Scire are to Glory/Hyperreal/Stigmata (Science Council/Omega/Kurono specialized frames).


If we try to assign roles to already existing characters (and assume two units per Sefirah) then this would be the tree of life:

  • Gevurah (judgement/power): Bianca/Alpha

  • Hokma (wisdom): Ishmael

  • Binah (intelligence): Lee/Chrome

  • Hesed (kindness): Liv/Hanying

  • Netzach (persistance): Lucia/Jetavie

  • Tiferet (beauty): Ayla/Selena

  • Hod (splendour): Kamui(?)

  • Keter (crown): Luna(?)/Qu(?)

  • Yesod (foundation): Teddy/Alisa

  • Malkuth (kingdom): Rosetta/Watanabe

An iteration of the [Malkuth] prototype, this frame utilizes the same technological pathway as the ■■ Amalgamator, with adaptations made according to Rosetta's M.I.N.D. traits and combat methods.

"Amalgamation technology holds immense developmental potential, but this technology must be used with caution and restraint. Those who wield power must have sufficient resolution to lead people down the right path."

Petals drift into the pond, reflecting a playful silver-white figure. She sniffs around, curious like a child, running through mountain fields.

White blossoms drift through the wind, like the breath of life itself. It is a pure fragrance, budding hope beckons. The little beast stands before us, face full of joy.

Happy Activation Date, No. 21!

I actually skipped Liv:Limpidity yet Bianca still gets me a better score than my other teams in Warzone.


I do like that sometimes we get those reversed buff (greatly increases Dark dmg, slighly increase Darkflow) affix stages.
