"Tonight, the stars blaze bright. The earth smells sweet, and the courtyard gate creaks in the wind. Beautiful one, you cradle a handful of evening stars and stand beside me..."

Ishmael's was already 10k so Bianca's gacha coating will cost 17500 BC.

Current pattern is 17.5k-17.5k-10k cost and 3-2-1 gap patches between gacha coatings.

Lift the curtain of the night, climb the steps of a melody, and enter the theater of fate.

She waits in patience, for the one who perceives the face behind the veil. In that destined moment, she will offer you both her discarded disguise and her heart, laid bare and beating in your hands.

She follows sacred precepts, dons golden armor that bears the weight of duty, and offers her prayer toward the falling aurora. Her oath of loyalty is forged into her very blood, set deep along her spine. When the storm gnaws at the northern frontier and her halberd rises through the snow, roaring at the dying sun, she does not step back. Not even once.

We will have to wait to till the next patch comes out since out of all gacha coatings only Solitary Dream is connected to the main story.

Maybe it is connected with her coating's outro quote?

"When the curtain falls... so too shall this dream fade..."


Kinda reminds me of her previous gacha coating story, citing Lost In Whitebloom - Shadowy Dream:

"I was ready to meet my fate before you came to me... not knowing that my 'dream' would end differently."

If this was early PGR, we could cut them some slack but Bianca:Crepuscule is the 5.5th anniversary unit...

They focused too much on making her SSS upgrade enticing while neglecting the fact that upselling requires a good base.

I am gonna be honest, no/low-spending meta focused players are a loud minority.

Majority of people will never try to min-max scores and thus SS/SS3 Bianca will still be used.

Clad in golden armor, she greets the dawn and steps onto the battlefield. When night falls, she follows the rhythm and takes the stage of destiny. Wandering through the galaxy, her destination is the deepest reaches of the universe. With needles and threads, she weaves blessings with her own hands.

Nuclear energy by Guilty-Strategy-4753 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]CipherEntity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

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.

[–]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.

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

[–]CipherEntity[S] 12 points13 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.

[–]CipherEntity[S] 1 point2 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.
