Alpha(Lucia) Best Team and Build in Punishing: Gray Raven
Best Teammates
You should definitely include the following team members to get the best results for Alpha:
Karenina – Blast
Although she is an Attacker, her QTE pulls enemies together, and as a result, she is a great partner for modes like Warzone.
Nanami – Storm
Swap to Nanami: Storm and use her Blue Orb in order to gather enemies and lower the enemies’ defenses.
Rosetta – Arctic
A direct upgrade to Nanami: Storm/Kamui: Bastion.
Liv – Eclipse
Specifically, at SSS Class (her shards are farmable in the first challenge stage of her Interlude), Eclipse gains access to a passive that will give Alpha a 10% physical damage increase; with the right memories, she’ll bring out more buffs for Alpha’s Sword Wave burst.
Kamui – Bastion
His QTE has a valuable stun and lowers the enemy’s defense; more convenient than Storm because he doesn’t require being swapped in.
Kamui: Bastion has nowhere near as much shred as Nanami: Storm and is less useful to swap into. Warzone has a lot of character switching, so Nanami: Storm comes out on top here.
However, Rosetta: the Arctic is always the superior choice if you have her. Two Tanks provide better buffs for bursting down bosses in seconds.
Recommended Build For Alpha
Go for 4x Frederick. It is better for burst but requires using dodges for DPS, leaving fewer dodges for safety. And also for 4x Patton which is better for long fights if you aren’t used to bursting bosses.
The Preferred Memory Placement for Alpha is to put Darwin in slot 1/2/3 as Darwin has a low ATK stat and Frederick/Patton should be prioritized for 4/5/6. For 6* Weapon Resonance, if you only have one 6* weapon available for Resonance fodder, activate Alpha’s second slot for more orbs and the slot priority is 2 > 3 > 1.
Mode | Weapon | Memories | Affixed Skills |
---|---|---|---|
War Zone | Crimson Sakura | Frederick 4x + Darwin 2x | Slot 1: Atk+15, Crit+15Slot 2:60px[Core Passive +1] |
