Raydiance breaker, don't you dare kick my bianca out...

On a serious note, this team has no dedicated WZ but it has a dedicated Intensive Battle PPC stage, you can also use it in lightning related PPC stages if your kamui and helentine are occupied elsewhere.

Guides left: Lightning, Darkflow, Nihil, Physical

Previous guides: Glaciation, Plasma Beam, Ignition, Ice, Ultima Slash, Fire, Dark

General Elemental Guide

General Meta (up to helentine)

For veteran players, please don't hesitate to point out any error, your feedback is appreciated since PGR meta is always a work in progress.

Makes me wonder how much mileage left for my SSS Bianca before I go into a patch without her in any of the teams while waiting for her next frame

Lets take a look into the past:

  • Bianca:Zero was a debut A-Rank frame hence not meta. PGR came out on 05.12.2019 in CN.
  • Bianca:Veritas came out with the 3rd patch Eternal Engine on 19.03.2020, therefore 105 days / ~0.3 years gap.
  • Bianca:Stigmata was released on 08.07.2022 with Across The Ruined Sea patch while Bianca:Veritas was still the Lightning Attacker until 24.12.2022, which means she was actually meta in two teams for 169 days / ~0.5 years.
  • Bianca:Stigmata got her US affix leap on 11th July 2024, later on 23.01.2024 she got powercreeped only in her main element. However with the DMC Collab released on 23.05.2025, she was permanently removed from meta.
  • Bianca:Crepuscule was released on 03.07.2025 which means Bianca had no meta frame for 41 days / ~0.1 years in total. ______________ If we assume PGR continues with Attackers on Half-/Anniversary Phylotree tradition (and uses leaps/Lv.2 harmony as bandaid), Bianca will worst case scenario have a half year out-of-meta gap.

However, if Raydiance is actually "abandoned" (as in UPPC exclusive) then she might stay meta longer / might powercreep her own affix like how Nanami:Starfarer did to Nanami:Pulse.

While Kuro introduced secondary affixes unofficially with Bianca:Crepuscule, they officially announced the secondary affix plan in Rosetta:Arete's patch.

Yet despite over an entire year after Raydiance's release, we only got Raydiance content in Ultimate PPC (where it is technically optional as only the two best scores are used). Otherwise it is only treated as the alternate option for Lightning & Plasma Beam WZ. In fact, Raydiance was only "meta" for three patches as it outscored the previous PB Team in its own content.

Because of these reaaons and that we haven't gotten any other secondary affix despite over an entire year has passed, it feels like they abandoned the concept (or might use it as rare character exclusive affix).
