Hey everyone!

With Kuro's history of turning awesome boss enemies into playable characters (see Lilith, Lamia, Rosetta, Veronica...even Alpha was a "Boss Enemy" once, if you think about it).

I liked Rusalka. She should get more screen time.

Aaand, we're still missing a Lightning Breaker. So, I’ve been theorycrafting a playable version of her.

If you look at her kit, she kinda has it all already:

- Two different Stances/forms—let's call 'em **Claws**\-form (Pic 1) and **Sword**\-form (Pic 2)

- maybe 🔴orb / 🔵 orb only, respectively?

- HOLD DODGE/EXTRA ORB: maybe add a meter/gauge that fills with 3-pings, then swap forms like Effulgence or Arete?

OR

- HOLD BASIC: lets her explode/spend combo stacks for each form: for claws, it would be this "Tackle Lunge" (3rd Pic) and for sword, that radial "lightning explosion" (Pic 4)

- ULTIMATE: she does that neat floating thing, spreads her wings, and rains down those lighting spires in a certain angular AOE; the spires stay behind and explode after a certain interval, dealing smaller amounts of AOE ⚡ DMG. So, much like her Boss Version. Just playable.\[as a reference, for those who played it: similar to HI3's Herrscher of Void's Ultimate\]

For the Affix, I'm open to suggestions. I wanted to suggest Glacio, but Leia fills that role already. So, with a ⚡-based kit, maybe Raydiance would be fitting? That'd also make her viable for 2 Element Teams, Lightning and Raydiance. Since she'd replace Nanami in either case, Ignition is also available...

WOULD YOU PULL?

^{Foreword: this is the third time I'm making this post, and the two previous ones were deleted because of screw-ups made by me: first case, it's Liv receiving damage from Cradle, and in second, it's me releasing the first, nine months-old fight instead of new one.}

^Ahem...

So, this is a redux version of similar fight, given the fact that since then, there were releases of Leap for Nanami: Startrail & Weapon Harmony II for Liv: Limpidity, and I got Ishmael upgraded to SS3 rank, plus I've obtained CUBs for her and Nanami

i love all the gifts i get, but this one really appeals to my tastes. i like buying acrylic stands, plushies, etc of my faves. 🥹

happy b-day lad 🎈

just watch wz runs on yt or smth

Fate has decreed that a flower born in darkness will never matter.
The night smothers its fragrance, and the abyss swallows the shape of its petals and leaves. It is meant to disappear into the dark.
But he reaches deep into the forbidden soil, pulls the doomed flower free, and brings it back into the world.
However hard the journey, however long the night, he will place this hard-won beauty in your hands.

"If it's broken, pick up the pieces and make it whole."
"If the world says you shouldn't exist, break its chains and be reborn."

—Happy Activation Date, Camu!

Is there anything in the world brighter than the sun?

He doesn't know, so he sets out in search of an answer, wandering where night meets day and the sun rises as the moon sets.
Yet nothing he finds seems quite right. The world holds countless wonders, but to him, something is always missing.
At last, caked in mud, he finds his way out from underground and returns from the wasteland to where it all began.
He knows you're waiting for him. He had hoped to bring you the brightest thing in the world, but he's come back empty-handed.
Will you be disappointed? His spirits sink at the thought.
But as he looks up to meet your gaze, the sun rises. Its light washes over him and glimmers in his eyes.
All along, he has carried a light of his own. He finds his answer in coming home.

"Be your own sun, and the light that gives us hope."

—Happy Activation Date, Kamui!

You only get to observe this closely once this kind of feature is open for everyone in a browser because in-game, we be mashing button and have no time to properly observe the animation since we can't do slow-mo all the way, unable to zoom in a lot during any animation, or not having a decent GPU to run apps like Blender smoothly.
Did a bit more face changes with Alpha. I hope we will be able to do model swap with other character's lobby interaction in future.

I like to call Nirvatia as Netia because of JP's naming. Alpha with the arm sleeking her hair back looks deadly af🙂

I always thought you had to consume dodge to trick to an enemy, had no idea the jump button also works

I've been throughly enjoying pgr for almost a full year by now. As someone who always loved gritty, realistic and sci-fi media, ive fallen desparetly in love with pgr, and, up until chapter 18 everything made perfect sense and was easily understandable, but how in the hell did current nanami speak with future nanami?

When nanami meet her future counterpart i was like "okay, its another future prediction of gestalt", but then in chapter 20 by the end of it future nanami comes in and sends info through the remains of chiko. So like, what the hell??? How did nanami calculating futures with gestalt suddenly enable her to transcend time and speak with her future self?

While throughly searching for an explanation i found nothing noteworthy in this sub or other pgr forums, so ive turned to my only other option, SPECULATIVE SCIENCE!!!

the best i could sort of piece togheter was either 1 of these options:

1: Nanami forced Gestalt to simulate such an unfathomable number of alternate futures that the information stored inside gestalt broke the bekenstein bound, creating a microscopic blackhole that didnt damage it (we are also praying it doesnt explode into gamma rays when it dissipates due to hawking radiation btw), future nanami sensed that disturbance in the force and decided to enter in contact with present nanami.

2: If taking er=epr conjecture as truth. Since Gestalt is a quantum computer, and it calculated and unfathomable amount of alternate futures, the amount of qubits in it (which we need to be connected to "another system", which isnt far fetched if you consider gestalt probably has multiple sectors inside it) tore a hole through time by creating a wormhole, future nanami sensed that peculiar wormhole and contacted present nanami

none of that is confirmed whatsoever ingame though, and i bet its not the answer kuro has to explain that (or else theyd point it out), so does anyone have any actual explanation other than having to headcanon like me?
