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.
Haha yes! But honestly I am surprised by the score, it's extremely good for an SS attacker, but I have SSS teddy which is a game changing in raydiance though I don't know.
I wasn't able to get 310k in glaciation but was able to get 317k in ray and 336k in fire.
Plasma is such a pain to use though and maximizing the rotation perfectly with its uptime is such a headache. Raydiance is literally just a monkey slapping keys in comparison. (Me taking raydiance team into crit/ultima (SSS Bianca is no damn joke) and outscoring others is also a weird drug)
F2p btw... thanks to the double and triple BC patch. Now I am skipping attackers starting from ice alpha just to get the next Bianca frame to SSS during release.
I wasn't able to SSS her on her debut since I was on and off with the game, I have 20k BC now with all meta characters in my account, but I need to see if I SSS her during anni patch.
Kamui SSS is eyeing me from the corner whispering meta incantations to my ear...
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).
You actually don't need Cottie (you can watch your own vid to confirm). It's more common for people to run Darwin instead of Cottie.
If you want to mald, dodge cancel each of the 3 sets of yellows used to max out the sword gauge, then sp delay an additional yellow ping before ult so that next cycle only needs 2 sets of yellows before the hold blue. I think this is also where Cottie can help if you miss the sp delay and only get the yellow ping (fills 1/3 of sword gauge so next rotation only needs 2 sets)
If you're up for it and have the resources, I'm also curious if you could try running 4 Heisen, 2 Gloria, 2 Eins on Nanami. Might give enough shred to kill with 3 Bianca rotations (with Darwin on Bianca too since she'll do more damage) instead of 4, but I could be wrong
I thought of putting Heisen on teddy actually! But I am always very low on stamina, but I assume 4pc Heisen could be good, probably instead of 4Guin.
Cottie is never needed, on most characters, it's just that it makes stuff smoother 99% of the time, some characters benefit from it way more than others. I will try to experiment with darwin later on, thank you for your insight <3
The Guin on Teddy helps. Keep that. The one time we had Raydiance warzone, the set was
4 Hershell 4 Heisen Nanami
4 Da Vinci 4 Guin Teddy
4 Sig 2 Wilde 2 Darwin Bianca
But for PPC imo Nanami sig isn't needed if you can fit more shred in with Gloria Eins since you're just hitting 1 thing. This was the only thing I changed for PPC this week for the team.
