Characters/Transcendants

Transcendants (known as Compositers in other versions) are an alternative type of playable character in Punishing: Gray Raven.

About Transcendants
All known Transcendants possess a default class rating of S-Rank.

Unlike Constructs, Transcendants only possess one predesignated class: Vanguard. Transcendants cannot be deployed in the same team as Constructs.

In Catastrophe Zones (i.e. areas with extremely high Punishing Virus concentration such as in Heterogeneous Maze or Babel Tower), all Transcendants receive a +80% ATK boost, while in regular combat zones, they suffer a -9% ATK reduction.


 * Even with the -9% ATK reduction, these characters are still exceptionally powerful and are fully capable of outperforming regular Constructs.

Obtaining Transcendants
After the introduction of the Grand Blue patch, when a Commandant first reaches level 52, they will automatically receive one copy of Camu: Crocotta along with a full six-piece Koya memory set and one copy of Glimpse. All other Transcendants (as well as further copies of Camu) can be obtained through Research & Development.


 * Unlike Constructs, all S-Rank Transcendants are guaranteed every 10 pulls.

Duplicates
In the event that you pull a duplicate of a character you already own, the duplicate will be converted into Inver-Shards.


 * All S-Rank Transcendant duplicates yield 18 Inver-Shards.

Promotion
Like Constructs, a Transcendant can be promoted every five levels by spending Cogs, greatly improving overall stats. The total cost of fully promoting a character is 542,500 Cogs. These promotion ranks are named the following: Lurk, Corrupt, Manifest, Burst, Mutate, and Reborn.
