PUNISHING GRAY RAVEN X DMC 5 COLLAB

The highly anticipated special update for Punishing Gray Raven is here! Along with new powerful Constructs and exciting main story chapters, the game is collaborating with the Devil May Cry franchise.

In this guide, we will go over everything players need to know in advance for the upcoming PGR X DMC 5 collaboration event.

 

Release Date

The PGR x DMC5 crossover launched on May 22 for the CN Server. Rumors suggest it might hit other regions by the end of June.

 

Everything You Need To Know

With the release of the special announcement live stream regarding the collaboration version update patch, players were able to receive various new information regarding how this collaboration update patch will work and what to expect from the update patch.

Dante

Element: Fire Specialty: Ignition Class: Attacker

Dante will be the first playable Devil May Cry character in Punishing Gray Raven.

His skill kit is heavily inspired by his moves in the Devil May Cry series, featuring powerful attacks and the use of his iconic motorcycle in combos.

He can enter Sin Devil Trigger mode after a certain time, transforming into a demonic form to unleash even stronger Fire attacks.

Dante excels at dealing massive Ignition Damage by managing his Sin Devil Trigger Gauge, switching between normal and Devil Trigger modes to maximize Fire and Ignition damage output.

 

Vergil

Element: Physical Specialty: Ultima Slash Class: Attacker

Vergil is the other character joining the Devil May Cry collaboration, wielding his powerful katana with extremely agile and quick attacks.

Like Dante, his kit is inspired by Devil May Cry V, allowing him to stun-lock enemies with rapid slashes and powerful blade combos. Vergil can also activate his Sin Devil Trigger mode to significantly boost his damage and transform his moveset.

As a Physical Attacker Construct, he specializes in dealing Ultima Slash damage to gain Devil Trigger points and enter his enhanced mode.

His fast-paced playstyle may be challenging to master, but it enables massive damage output and efficient enemy disposal.

 

New Collaboration Weapons and CUBs

Together with the release of Vergil and Dante into the game as special collaboration characters, we will also have the chance to roll for their signature weapons and CUBs.

Please note that these Weapons and CUBs will only be obtainable during the duration of Vergil and Dante’s banners and will not appear in the Selector Shop.

- Vergil Signature Weapon: Yamato

Effect: CRIT DMG increases by 30%. Triggers available Matrix upon casting Sin Devil Trigger. The efficiency of acquiring Blade Resolve doubles.

 

- Dante Signature Weapon: Devil Sword Dante

Effect: Increases ATK by 10%. After casting Sin Devil Trigger - Sin Inferno or Sin Devil Trigger - Judgement, gains 1 Signal Orb and converts any remaining Sin Devil Trigger Gauge into Devil Trigger Gauge. For every 30 points converted, gains 1 extra Signal Orb. When the converted amount exceeds 60, gains 6 points of Devil Arm Energy.

 

- Vergil’s Signature CUB: Mirage Blade

Effect: Base DMG of Judgement Cut End increases by 50%. During Sin Devil Trigger:

• In the 3-hit slash of Skewer/Yamato: Combo, the Mirage Blade casts Blister, dealing 375% Physical DMG 8 times.
• In the 5-hit attack of Judgement Cut/Beast Uppercut/Beowulf: Combo, the Mirage Blade casts Heavy Rain, dealing 600% Physical DMG 5 times.

 

- Dante’s signature CUB: Cavaliere

Effect: If the carrier is Dante, tap the uncharged CUB button to release Cavaliere and generate a Summon Sword to attack the enemy.

The first tap will cast Cavaliere - Dive, regarded as casting Stinger, dealing 500% Fire DMG based on itself. Tap again during Cavaliere - Dive to cast Cavaliere - Airslash, regarded as casting Million Stab, dealing 800% Fire DMG based on itself.

Tap Basic Attack during Cavaliere - Airslash to cast Cavaliere - Aerial Combo, dealing 325% Fire DMG based on itself. Base DMG of Sin Devil Trigger - Sin Inferno and Sin Devil Trigger - Judgement increases by 25%.

 

Special Collaboration Limited Banner - Should You Roll

Limited Banner Details

During the patch’s period, when we complete the special Collaboration Event Story, we will be able to receive a S Rank Character Dante For Free.

Unlike the usual S Rank Construct Rate Up banner, the DMC 5 Collaboration Limited Banner will have different rules.

The collaboration banner is more affordable than usual, costing only 175 tickets per pull instead of 250. This makes it easier for us to obtain the Collaboration Characters.

However, once you exchange your currency for these limited-time banner tickets, they can't be used after the collaboration ends.

Additionally, each collaboration banner for Dante and Vergil has a guaranteed S Rank copy at 60 pulls. However, the pity system is separate for each banner and won't carry over to future collaborations.

 

Special Roll 1 Get 1 Free Campaign

To encourage players on getting Dante and Vergil and to lessen the burden, a special roll 1 get 1 free campaign will be held during the campaign period. If you roll 1 copy of a collaboration character, you'll get an extra copy of that character for free (up to 2 times per collaboration character).

This means you can get up to 2 free copies of Vergil or Dante from their respective banners.

 

Should You Roll

Given limited availability of the DMC collaboration characters, you should absolutely save their rolls and get at least 1 copy of each character for collection purposes. These characters might not be available again anytime soon due to their limited status.

 

In terms of gameplay, Dante is a Fire S Rank Attacker, while Vergil is a Physical S Rank Attacker. Both roles are already filled by powerful constructs like Lucia:Pyroath for Fire and Selena: Pianissimo for Physical.

 

So, Dante and Vergil can serve as temporary substitutes if you don't have those key characters, or even replace them if you upgrade Dante and Vergil to high levels.

 

Overall, getting both Devil May Cry characters as keepsakes is a top priority. If you’re looking to secure these characters without missing out, top up PGR on LDShop might be a smart move to ensure you have enough resources for those crucial rolls!
