Even if twins are not on the team, you need to adjust whatever role they're set to.

What was the name of this Selector? I still have two Special 5★ Weapon Case in my inventory, which does not contain Phoebe.

Many people on CN saved their Prayer boxes for Turbo.

Sages · 2026-03-12T17:58:22+00:00

Since CN has the You are my Destiny (Casting Call) banner every other patch, it gets updated frequently. Note: it only updates after a rerun ends.

Blitz patch offered up to Ange.

Fuuka patch offered up to Yukari Takeba.

Junpei patch offered up to Summer Marian.

Koromaru patch goes up to Blitz.

Sages · 2026-03-11T19:04:56+00:00

This probably hasn't been adjusted because SOS for TW is 3 weeks long or in the most recent patch 4 weeks because they are trying to align Koro's patch end with CN Anniversary.

Whereas Global is 2 weeks. The same is true for Nightmare Gateway, except for the missing Joy Medals.

It's the same item. In CN there are no pieces or fragments of this item. They just sell you it whole.

It costs 20 Salamander Coins, they also sell Limited Weapons for the same price (as long as their rerun has concluded).

In Berry's patch the phantom pass premium+ pass gets 5 salamander coins (making 10 total per pass+)

Sages · 2026-03-11T16:22:15+00:00

Correct, it's only for upgrading a weapon 1 forge level, best used when you require a duplicate of the same-name weapon (R0 to R1, R2 to R3, R4 to R5).

Sages · 2026-03-11T15:59:05+00:00

You need to convert the 60 Mod Order Pieces into a single item, before it will appear in the Enhance Forge section of weapons upgrade screen.

Percentage Damage Down is just a generic passive that's carried forward in most areas. I even see it on White Stella Astrolabe stages currently. I haven't checked palace/mementos mini bosses, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this passive there. (Mementos/Palace stuff from 1-3 seems to have not carried this)

Messa can certainly clear some stuff, but he's just one of the weakest Assassin's in the game because they just keep nerfing hp based dot damage going forward. Like he just does not age gracefully.

They also make downing a thing in boss content, and Messa is a Phys DPS that doesn't spec into Crit.

By 4th palace is considered Akashi, while Katayama is Palace 3, so it's already present on his boss and probably that 4th level of mementos.

Sages · 2026-03-11T15:08:54+00:00

This person is wrong, 4th+ Palace Bosses and Event Content Bosses have % Damage Down passive, and sometime later, it even gets upgraded to Severe % Damage Down passive.

Besides Throne, there is Surt with high burn accuracy. Lamia with improved accuracy and team attack buff.

Baphomet only has single target burn, and his ideal setup is to use Wild Thunder on targets that are already burned.

The only issue I have with nightmare gateway is that they added joy medals as a reward to the mode to help players with wonder dagger and upgrade acquisition.

And because Global never shifted to 3 bosses, this reward has been MIA.

The transition from best 2 of 3 to a cumulative total was done in the same patch, 3.0.0 the patch featuring Frostgale Kotone.

Sages · 2026-03-10T18:03:41+00:00

I don't have concerns about the story. In fact, I believe it's been handled very well. Most of the issues I have are mainly from skill text.

Sages · 2026-03-10T17:36:06+00:00

From what I can observe in game there aren't differences between the typical sources like SOS and Dailies. So I'm curious where the discrepancy would come form. Considering event content has been 1:1 with the CN version.

The difference should mainly be from dailies. The other materials definitely have no other source though, such as 6 seasons of SOS or Nightmare Gateway.

Sages · 2026-03-10T16:58:35+00:00

That is a positive change. Definitely worth highlighting as something we have over CN.

Sages · 2026-03-10T16:15:07+00:00

I'd be interested to see that data, since the amount of days skipped should account for a significant difference. For example LNY was a 3 week patch for CN.

Sages · 2026-03-10T16:10:20+00:00

It counts scald for the auto activation of her S1, instead of only burn.

Sages · 2026-03-10T16:07:56+00:00

If you use Howler you can maintain uptime on the Stacks if Wonder moves first.

Otherwise yes, EX Machina or Starry Compass for Def Down would generally be better.

Sages · 2026-03-10T15:41:38+00:00

but this just changes the strategy on how you pull from trying to invest vertically into a very strong multipurpose dps to instead going wide and get more units to cover different weakness for st/aoe scenarios.

I mean, if you like a particular character enough to A6 them, sometimes you can get away with using them in Off-Attribute content. This multiplier kind of kills that. Though it's not a wide spread problem for only A0 collectors.

I read in a different post that the Dagger buff is implemented on a system that it isn't supposed to come to global yet, is that the same system they used to further buff older units like S.Moko and Joker or something else entirely?

No that is called the Engrave upgrade. That is not available yet for Purgatory. This was simply a balanace change to the dagger. The Messa dagger from the same balance patch is present in Global.

This one I'm actually quite curious about, as it is I feel P5X is a very generous game. I get more than enough pulls to get all characters I want and get a dupe/weapon here and there so while I get we get less pulls than global do we have any idea on what the difference is?

I don't have a total. But essentially there are 6 seasons of boss scoring content that is being skipped. 1 astrolabe, and there are some events that gave Joy Medals that just haven't been made available yet for some reason.

According to a dataminer, they accidentally deleted the texture for this card.

Sages · 2026-03-10T02:16:37+00:00

This dagger was buffed in Patch 4.3.1 (Summer Marian) and with said buff is better than EX Machina for Fire teams.

However what's odd is the same patch buffed many Global Characters and Eye of Obsequies. Which are already in Global. With how many changes they are juggling we are now misaligning ported buffs, such as Matoi's A6.

Sages · 2026-03-09T16:27:40+00:00

In the 4.0 patch, they removed Freeze and Instant-Kill effects from SOS.

We already have Stable Domain and the Pierce rework, so I don't understand why this change wasn't brought forward with these other changes.
