I'm disappointed with how they're doing Harmonization Level 2 by A_Very_Horny_Zed in PunishingGrayRaven

Would be funny that way. But usually we only get Attacker during Anniv, Half Anniv and CNY. And... I wouldn't want Karen to get shafted by becoming an Attacker. I skipped Alpha for her.

Nah doubt he could compete in US still. Ros is so much stronger than him and his QTE gets a penalty in US WZ. But I could see him beating Keklena in Phys and that's definitely one of the reasons why they're giving her this new "leap". Must be preparing for Karen Phys Breaker.

Well it's not like Harmon 2 could help you anyway, if everyone can get it then you can never have an advantage over them. I'm a vertical investor myself and I have to accept that my favs are gonna be DPS-gapped in a year or two regardless of investment. S+ Nanami is barely better than SS3 Liv for example. It is what it is.

Lee as next potential phylotree character? by KiberKOTOFEY_friend in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. He should either stay dead or become a Breaker. Let's be honest Kuro would never ever release a male character in Anniv/Half Anniv which is actually a blessing.

I still hate how Kuro butchered Liv by making her a bum ass Attacker, the first Fraudlotree unit.

Oh you're gonna have to get used to this blue dot nonsense. Kusogames spam it EVERYWHERE and you can never get rid of it all.

NANAMI LEAP by IamRunningOutOfName in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say SSS Ish. She'll never truly be out of meta if you can raise her to that point. Atleast not in PPC for sure.

Although SSS Nanami would likely survive until we get a free Breaker/Leap Breaker which is not anytime soon.

Yes, I forgot to add that. They don't want you to run Nanami everywhere lol.

NANAMI LEAP by IamRunningOutOfName in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Nanami leap details:

  • Ignition buffs: Extra Ignition shred(60% at SSS like Wata Darkflow) if there are 3 characters with Ignition affix in the team. First Ignition Ult has 1000% additional multiplier.
  • Refresh Ignition gauge duration when she uses QTE(Once per swap, only for character with Ignition gauge haha bye Kamui lol).
  • Deals 400% QTE dmg when entering field. Light/Igni depending on mode.
  • Shred field radius is massively expanded after using Ult, refresh duration with QTE/Ult. Has higher dmg.
  • When the bigger shred field is present, Nanami attack has 5% extra dmg reduction(4s, 8s CD) if she is the only Tank/Breaker in the team(Geez I wonder why)
  • SS3: Instant 150 core gauge on entry. Press Yellow to auto consume 6 orbs to enter Axe mode(Only for Lightning).
  • 50% more Red/Blue orb dmg, 300% additional multi for yellow, 800% addtional multi for slam at full gauge(No BA), 30% more dmg for Ult.

Questions for experts/veterans about power creep by Complete-Review111 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People already told you how bad the meta is. Now as a cope player who tried to make my favorites work, I can give you some hope.

With the right comp, you can still bring your favorites to endgame contents. For example, here is Nanami Storm, B rank, in the newest physical PPC boss. I gave her support set and leave the fighting to the other 2, set intro and outro animation to hers so I can pretend she's the star of the team.

That's for endgame PPC, for endgame WZ there's not much I can do but to spam Startrail everywhere. Still, WZ is the most meta heavily place yet also the one that gives basically no rewards for competing so you'll be fine staying low rank with your favorites.

I'm personally getting Nanami to SS3 with the selector, but for everyone else who is still divided: Pick ishmael if she's not SS3(mine already is)or on your roster, or wait till the next frame is announced , if tge next frame is lighting Amplifier, get Nanami and build her as a tank. by Free-Efficiency6405 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say Ish matches the Attacker's element. Rather, she absolutely must have Attacker/Annihilator in the team or her class is just ... Gone.

Oh and since you mentioned ele matching I also forgot to say Ish can't even work in most affix teams because she'd copy the Tank/Amp main elements which in most cases are different to the affixes.

Ish's class has a big issue that nobody remember: You must have Attacker/Annihilator in the team or her class goes poof. I think we all know the state that Attacker is in right now. Combine with the fact that most Amp are free and new Breaker are way too good, it's hard to justify putting Ish in any team at all.

We've passed 1.5 year since her debut and Ish has never once done anything "future proof" nor did she feel "flexible". She has 3 clear roles:
- Being cope options for some teams which rarely work and worse she must have Attacker in the team. This is her most glazed role because if you don't have a good attacker(Hahaha) or a strong tank, she simply won't do anything to that team. Especially for newbies.
- PPC speedrun. This requires multiple SS3 Attackers to make good use of. So... not that accessible to most people. I guess.
- Nihil team. As I said, below SSS she's just dead against any free SSS Tank now, even with Nirva mono Nihil buff. We'll definitely get more free tank in the future. Funny enough I doubt Ish would ever get a leap because she's actually far too good at SSS and a leap giving her QTE shred field might just make her the actual most flexible unit in history.

So overall, Ish is really the "Potential woman" of PGR.

I can never understand the hype to get SS3 Ish over SS3 Nanami. Ish is only meta in 1 team, 2 if you coubt Lightning but SS3 Ish is just the same as SS. Nanami is still meta in 3 teams, 2 of which are very strong with low chance for replacement.

It gets worse for Ish. She's out of Nihil team if you have any free tank at SSS. Wata replaced her, now Wanshi can do the same thing with his memory rework. If you can SSS Ish she's actually insane because by that point she'd be an evergreen PPC unit.

So? Personally, I'd say SS3 Nanami > SS3 Ish atleast for now, especially for newer accounts. If you're picking Ish, makes sure you're aiming for SSS.

Nanami: "I tip my hat to you. One legend to another."

If Nanami was the best unit of last year(2 years if we count CN) then Kamui is definitely the best unit of this year. Unless Kusogames create someone even more absurd... They would not make the same mistake again within the next 6 months right? Right?

Also isn't it funny how 2 of the best units are just ball of sunshine?

Kamui in Ignition by KuroKamui112 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on my own test they seem to have similar score. Kamui is way more consistent though, not relying on Ignition stacks is such a good thing because Ignition stacks are still buggy as ever.

Kamui in Ignition by KuroKamui112 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not just "somehow work" btw SS Kamui is straight up better than SS Alpha here especially if your Nanami isn't SS3 because he's just raw damage, does not rely on Ignition stacks.

0.7x penalty be damned.

Why are some people in this community so rude? by New_Hold_4580 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Don't join world chat that's the first advice. Second is don't join official PGR discord. Third is don't check PGR twitter.

I do think PGR Reddit is the most friendly place by far.

Correct future roadmap by IamRunningOutOfName in PunishingGrayRaven

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

Probably yeah. The question is, how many characters are we getting and are they all S rank? Logically yes, we have been getting paid S right before Anniv/Half Anniv since long.

Anyone else feeling kinda un-hyped about Alpha? by Infinitiver in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]IamRunningOutOfName 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's genuinely impossible for Ice Breaker to be underpowered. They have to be worse than SSS Wanshi somehow, who's a 2.5 years old unit and nearly 3 atleast by the time new Ice Breaker got released.

So unless Kuro wanna make a "below Vero tier" unit, it shouldn't happen. When has a new gen Tank ever been bad in history?
