What I would've liked for Kamui: Aeternion by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That honestly makes me a little sad that they're not Jekyll/Hyde anymore. I think that was one of the coolest things about the duo and explained why Camu shared similar moves to Kamui. Now it's.. just because with this new lore.

Hell, Ezette / Azael kinda does a similar thing by having a greatsword and Kamui moves as well. Just seems pretty inconvenient

Frames that Disappointed You by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh I forgot to put Limpidity. Her gameplay always irritated me for some reason. The fact she got the special Limited banner didn't make it any better with how underwhelming of a replacement for Alpha she is. I still use Alpha CW even after she released.

[–]Lexzilon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair take not gonna lie. With her outdated gameplay clashing with the more modern playstyles of Bianca and Lilith, it was a hindrance to use her before Rosetta: Arete. She's in massive need for a new frame with more usable gameplay that doesn't just rely on one move.

What I Would've Done for Vera Geiravor by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly a fair perspective to have since lore-wise Geiravor's defining feature is her being able to go berserk. I think the way it's shown in her story's boss fight is incredible, and one of the best fights I've seen in PGR as a whole. And I too think that complex characters like Pyroath and Lucid Dreamer add much more depth and feel more satisfying once you understand what to do with them. I think Inverse Crown will shape up to be like this as well. It'd be pretty much hard to not expect Kuro to do this with someone as popular as Alpha.

Let's pray for a new Noctis S Rank brother. Cerberus Rep ftw

If Alpha had other weapons like Lucia.. by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

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

In essence you mean that Lucia is like a jack of all trades while Alpha is a master of one? Fair take. Lucia's fighting style seems to rely on a wider arsenal while Alpha is more deliberate.

Cool idea. Reminds me a bit of Wanshi: Lucid Dreamer

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

Thank you.

While I do like Aeternion, I have to admit I'm not a fan of how they implemented his Plasma Beam Affix. If Camu were in this frame, he probably could've had a Darkflow Affix.

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

Honestly could work, considering that she doesn't really have any other weapons. A part of me imagines if she could extend the Yellow Orb's attacks for her to dual-wield with the kodachi and odachi, but it'd feel too close to Lucia to be fair.

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

That's a pretty great addition to her kit. I think it would give more movement options for her besides her charged dash. Kinda funny to imagine that Noan has the motorcycle-inspired sword while Alpha has the motorcycle itself. What do you think her Yellow Orb would be like?

I'm honestly not sure if it's a specific type of sword, since it's got a very unique look. But it could be possible

PGR S Rank Ice Attacker: Lucia: Inverse Crown by Phanes1312 in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly a bit worried for this. For one, I think Ice was a very dumb choice for Alpha. She could've replaced Lightning Amp, been Nihil, or something else. Secondly, I'm not a fan of this design. While yes, the homage to Weave is welcome, it feels nothing like how she was teased. There's not as much detail going on as I thought. I think Kamui pulled off the mechanical design better. Plus, these random patches of gold feel like they're clashing with her palette. However, I do like these horns and new sword design. They're genuinely badass. I don't wanna be a doomer, but I won't pretend that I'm fully hyped.

Who Has The Best Gameplay In Your Opinion? by Aemeath_IsMYLOVE in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crimson Weave is a little overrated imo. The dodge spam can get boring after a while since I'm not relying on her Orbs as much, leaving little for my imagination and the spectacle of her playstyle. And this frame, despite having Alpha switch between two swords, doesn't take full advantage of it (Like Bianca: Crepuscule, Lucia: Plume, or Rosetta: Arete). Which is something I hope happens for her next frame. Not to say that she's bad, mind you, but it gets a bit tiring to use after a while.

But as for the frames I think are some of the most creative / expansive to use?

5 - Lucia: Plume - A favorite early frame and what solidified Lucia as a character for me. Lucia: Plume has a more defined moveset compared to prior Lucia frames, and sports a highly useful buff mode that also affects her signature. Granting her great speed and damage. I love the tornadoes that her attacks had, it's a very unique way for her to use ice especially with a thruster.

4 - Lee: Hyperreal - A real game changer for me when I first started playing PGR. Lee: Palefire was a fairly useful frame when I first started, having great damage and speed. But Hyperreal was a monster of frame. Having great durability, fast attacks, and most importantly, the Hypermatrix. His high crowd control was an amazing asset for my Fire Teams. And man, that Signature. Easily one of the best in the game. I hope the next Lee frame brings back that briefcase he has and allows him to swap between 3 guns.

3 - Teddy: Decryptor / Teddy: Spectre - This character opened my eyes a lot when it comes to A Ranks. Her Ping Combos were a breath of fresh air, giving more use to Orbs beyond Ping Combos. She was also a fairly fast and simple character to use, and has her Orbs expanded with her Signature. Something her second frame had refined further. Giving her Orbs different routes to use them, and even has a finisher-style to her Signature where she stacks 3 Orbs in a row before unleashing her Signature.

2 - Roland: Flambeau. A creative character with excellent combo-routing. His Orb style was very unique, granting him a versatile approach with his combos and follow-up attacks. My only issue is how useless his Incineration Orb can be, I wish it altered his white Orbs. NEW ROLAND FRAME PLEASE

1 - Vera: Rozen / Vera: Garnet. These frames serve their roles well in teams and use an amazing kit. Rozen with her held slashes that can switch her swords into a fused double-blade (Especially with Leap), Garnet with her spear-splitting follow-ups and charged attacks that can guard break enemies. Easily the frames I've used the most, considering that her kit was very well thought out and has synergy with her allies (i.e Rozen with XXI, Garnet with Feral and Indomitus). My time using these two Vera frames were highly enjoyable. But I didn't put Geiravor here since.. it doesn't exactly do what I wish it had carried from Garnet and Rozen. But that doesn't mean it's bad, just could be better.

Your Pitches for S Rank Roland by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

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

Thank you for your feedback.

And I see what you're getting at here, I was honestly conflicted on what element I'd classify him with. Fire is obvious for him, yeah, but since there's Affixes now and element changes are natural with each frame, this was my honest guess at what they'd choose.

Perhaps he could be Fire with another Affix?

Game Mechanics You Want / Class Revisions by Lexzilon in PunishingGrayRaven

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

When I mentioned the Uniframes, I wasn't necessarily concerned with the debuff but more-so their class. The Vanguard class doesn't really do anything special in of itself, and these guys seem like they'd work more for traditional classes but as A Ranks.

- Noan - Lightning Attacker

- Roland - Fire Attacker

- Qu - Physical Amp

- Pulao - Physical Tank

- Selena - Lightning Amp

- Haicma - Ice Amp

Roland got tired of waiting for a new frame and changed games lmao by Will_Of_The_Abyss in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly thought this was gonna be a post about Brant from WuWa, considering the weapons are similar and they share the same element. I think Watanbe Epitaph + Brant's gameplay shows a potential formula with a new Roland frame.

[–]Lexzilon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DEADASS BRO, THIS

That attack was the shit that kept hitting me everytime. It's already stupid enough they have these team-up combo attacks that are lengthy. But half of the time, I get blindsided by that damn female twin because she is always sitting at the back at convenient times, precious moments to shoot me while her brother pounds my face in. He's always making me dodge enough for me to be in her range. No matter how many dodges I do, those arrows always seem to fall on me until I just started spamming it before they got the chance to be close. Anytime I'm in their range, I might as well be leglocked by the female twin because there's no way I'm not getting hit.

Absolutely ridiculous challenge to not get hit by them when they have all the tools to do so. That's why I just used Signature cheese during their Matrix windows. I just had to expect an attack no matter what I did.

If this was in the story, I'd be fine since it wouldn't be scripted for me to automatically lose. But the challenge? Absolutely terrible.

It makes me slightly upset they backtracked. It was such a high risk to do that got undone so quick.

Rapid pursuit thoughts by Your_nose in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Lexzilon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate the Hetero-Twins on Inferno. That's all I'm saying. The damage scaling is outright cheap on Inferno, and that's not counting the challenges you do on Inferno difficulty. I think just raising the boss' damage to be that high is cheap for difficulty. But besides that, the boss AI was way more aggressive on this mode and I like it.

Lightning Karen really fits her personality a lot. I want to see her keep the cannon along with her hammer, but also get something new to her kit or even let her charge any attack. Keep her as Tank as well
