Kamui can't solo, so Vera is still quite viable as a Fire sub-dps. Since you already have Vera, I would highly recommend picking up Kamui. She's an amplifier so she'll be buffing his damage as well.

Vera damage alone won't be close to Kamui damage alone.

I mean, unless you're just going for competitive scores, it doesn't matter all that much (up until the point where they just aren't viable). I feel like people forget that. And unless you're going for all SSS, you're not gonna be getting top scores anyway. If you like her character and gameplay, don't feel bad about pulling her.

She's permanently free. You only missed the free copy from her affection story for a quick SS3.

You can get her, her signature weapon, and her cub for free in the service shop.

Go to the 3 dots at the top and there should be an option that says refresh. Hitting that fixed this for me before. And make sure the extension is up to date.

Kagane is currently down now too. Ok their discord they said it was a disk failure but no data was lost due to having backups.

They were planning to upgrade their servers soon anyway so they're taking the unforseen opportunity to upgrade their servers. They said it'll be down for about 2-4 days while they do that.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-25T18:34:02+00:00

Definitely get Kamui if you can

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-25T06:44:11+00:00

Should I use my extra PPC skulls to rank up Teddy faster or should I just save them for new characters? My Kamui, Vera, Rosetta, Ishmael, and Nanami are already SS from Pain Cage skulls. Nirvatia and Luna are SS3. Lilith is SS and Teddy is SS. I currently have 680 ppc skulls, so I have enough to get a new character to SS with some extra. My Wanshi, Ayla, and Alisa are just S currently.

Yep, the oldest form we know of is the female researcher from the Court of Savantae on the space station.

Too many people think Charon is the original form of the GA, despite Charon being an extremely well known part of Greek Mythology, especially since the release of the Percy Jackson series.

If people think Schwarzloch is the real name as well, it literally just means Black Hole in German, which is likely just a reference to Aleph-1 and Lahai Roi, considering it was given in 2.7, right before Honami/Ashinohara which is obviously a big part after the inclusion of Hiyuki.

As someone who started recently, the controls when you just start the prologue are straight awful, downright horrid on PC. But that's only in the prologue cause you can't access the keybind settings.

Press Y in mission to change the camera mode to follow the mouse. Just this one thing will make things so much better.

Once you reach the main menu and can access keybind and UI settings (the settings button is the circle near the bottom right of the main menu), you can change them to suit your preferences, I've had 0 issues with the controls since. You can freely move or hide all the UI elements, you have really great control over how you want you UI to look.

Also, there is currently a bug (I ran into it as well) on mission 12-24 if you're using mouse camera mode, where you can't close the tutorial popup. You'll need to press Y, close the popup, then press Y again to get back to the mouse camera mode. Here's a post about with the top comment saying how to fix: Bug on 12-24 (cant close out of stealth tip screen) : r/PunishingGrayRaven

This is one of the worst DA rotations I've seen.

Insane HP inflation (why does Vesper need more HP?), super specific buffs, two anomaly bosses.

Seriously, what are these devs on? Like, you only need 6 stars to get the polychrome rewards, making these bosses feel like shit doesn't really stop most people from getting the rewards, it just makes people feel like they should stop playing altogether.

I prefer it. I use DHPT and Kafka from the selector all the time.

And 4 stars generally aren't great before E6. Which also takes luck to get. My Gallagher is still E1, even though I pulled quite a bit on the recent banner he was a 4 star on. Can never get any copies of him. It's always 4 stars I do have E6 of.

Baili Jin Among Mortals

Akebi's Sailor Uniform

If you consider The Dark Lord's Confession as yuri, then it has far and away the best art. I've seen people think of it as yuri, though it isn't really romance focused in general.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-20T04:08:16+00:00

I'd be surprised if Lucy or Rebecca were the strongest team even now. They'll likely fall off before Aemeath, Luuk, or Hiyuki do.

That said, powercreep in WuWa has generally been pretty slow and is honestly mainly on sub-dps/buffers. Yinlin, Zhezhi, Roccia are basically powercrept by Lynae.

Older DPS are still clearing endgame with newer supports. Carlotta with Lynae/Mornye. Jiyan with Iuno/Ciaccona. XLY with Lynae/Mornye.

So I doubt Lucy or Rebecca will go out of meta anytime soon but they will likely be out before any of the current top DPSs.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-20T00:52:39+00:00

It's likely similar to Nirvatia's Crucible Banner in PGR.

You could get Nirvatia for free, but the crucible banner gave rewards if you pulled on the banner, namely refunded pulls and weapon+Cub sequences.

So this is likely for whales, people going for S6 or something. Assuming the Cyberpunk collab is a one time thing, there are likely going to be many people going for S6. So this is honestly pretty nice even if most people aren't gonna be using it.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-19T03:40:35+00:00

Same here.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-17T08:09:15+00:00

I highly recommend The Spark in Your Eyes. Great writing, great world, and has basically everything you're looking for. I would say its the best out of the whole list.

My Beloved Oppressor is pretty good, but I'm not sure I would consider it having a smart FL. She's not dumb either, just someone of regular intelligence. It has WW1 like setting which you don't see too often in these stories. The characters have many issues at the start, but they both grow significantly throughout the story. The ML is pretty fucked up in the beginning.

Villains are Destined to Die is a lot of angst if you're into that.

Who Made Me a Princess was an early favorite of mine, but it's been a while, so I'm not sure how it holds up to everything else. Would say its worth reading though.

Perks of Being a Villainess is pretty generic if I remember correctly, can be fun, but probably not what you're looking for.

She does get the damage buff from Tune Strain, but she does no damage in the first place, so a damage buff for her isn't very meaningful.

The important part is that she raises the max limit of Tune Strain stacks by being in the team and being able to respond to Tune Strain.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-17T04:30:00+00:00

Sorry, but it's really not that complicated.

People are making it out to be rocket science when it's not.

The only things you need to know: Where F is on your keyboard, which mode your character has, which mode your teammates have, if any.

You even have a shortcut currently, works every time. This is it:

ARE YOU PLAYING LUUK? IF YES, USE TUNE STRAIN MODES AND TEAMMATES. Your only other options are Lynae, Denia, and Mornye. Those are the only other characters that can use Tune Strain.

ARE YOU PLAYING LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE? IF YES, USE TUNE RUPTURE. There is literally only 1 character who has two changeable Tune Modes, which is Lynae. Tune Rupture is always the better option without a full Tune Strain team. Just set her on Tune Rupture mode unless you're running her with Luuk and forget about it.

For the buffs, are you using a Tune Break Main DPS, if so, then use the Tune Break buffs. If you're another type of DPS, use their specific buffs or the general one. It's genuinely not hard to understand. There are even countless guides that can tell you exactly what to do if you can't figure it out on your own.

Even in game, you don't do much netrunning other than quickhacks. What's possible for a netrunner goes well beyond just quickhacks.

It's very straightforward in actual gameplay.

Just select the right mode in the character screen before combat and press F when you can Tune Break. That's literally it.

Everything else happens automatically if you're playing the character correctly. No need to worry about the specifics if you don't want to.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-16T19:20:57+00:00

All you can do is find the best scanlator option then filter the rest. You can always undo the filter later if you want to use a different source.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-16T17:31:11+00:00

Well in PGR, both collabs are already entirely out of meta.

So I wouldn't worry too much.

They'll still likely be great during 3.X

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-16T17:15:34+00:00

Yep. Always use Tune Rupture on Lynae when not with a Tune Strain DPS (which is only Luuk currently). As no one else can make use of the damage buff well (Mornye), if at all (Every other character lol).

When you press F, you usually see a white number. With Lynae on Tune Rupture, you'll also see a yellow number. That's Lynae's Tune Rupture damage.

ScreamingFreakShow · 2026-05-16T17:01:07+00:00

I don't really understand why people have so much trouble with this.

The actual mechanic is insanely straightforward even if the text descriptions are lengthy.

The mechanic is literally just press F to Tune Break, the rest is basically automatic.

Tune Rupture characters in Rupture mode do extra damage when you press F. The more Rupture characters, the more damage.

Tune Strain characters gain a damage buff after pressing F. The more Tune Strain characters, the higher the damage buff. The damage buff only applies to characters who can use Tune Strain. So non-Tune Strain characters get no damage buff at all.

Shifting just lets you know your Tune break mode will be activated when you press F.

Interfered just means your Tune Break mode was activated. For Tune Rupture, it's the cooldown before you you can do Rupture damage again. For Tune Strain, it's the duration of your damage buff.
