Buff List

Level 1 - 40

• Focus on getting through the story to begin with; at various level milestones, you'll unlock more and more types of content
• Try to rush to level 35 and clear stage 5-7 (normal) to unlock your essential dailies and weeklies
• Put all of your eggs in one basket and focus on leveling one team only -- your Support Construct can be 10-15 levels below your Attacker and Tank

- This team will carry you through War Zone (WZ) and the higher levels of Phantom Pain Cage (PPC) until level 80

• Always bring a Tank as debuffs are much more potent and important than buffs in PGR and Tanks' Class-specific passives lower enemies' extra damage reduction - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE FAQ IS FINISHED
• In your mail, you'll find an S-Rank Construct Pick LINK IS DEAD -- you can accept it from your mail, but don't use it (from your Items menu) for now as you'll want to choose a Construct based on which S-Rank you got from your first pity - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE FAQ IS FINISHED
• Join a Guild and do your three bi-weekly Boss fights -- use the currency to buy Hypertune materials and Transcendant shards form the Guild shop

Level 40 - 80

• If an Event is active and you're level 40+ try to spend the majority of your Serum on the respective farming stages -- either event currency or Memories, depending on your account's development level
• There are one to two days of down-time between events -- use this time to progress the story and other game modes that cost Serum like Stronghold and Golden Vortex
• Try to slowly gather your recommended end-game 6* Memory sets

- You can use lower-rarity placeholders but do not invest in 4* and lower Memories and don't raise your 5* Memories higher than level 35

• During the transition phase Memory placement does not matter but try to prioritize the optimal slots as shown in each Character's 【Punishing Pub】 Recommended Memory Sets section

- Optimal placement becomes relevant once you'll start hypertuning - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE FAQ IS FINISHED your Constructs' Memories

• 5* Memories to keep are event-exclusive Memories as they're limited and a 2-piece set of Richelieu, Samantha, Gloria, Voltaire, and Lantern Festival: Reunion each -- they stack with their 6* counterparts and Lantern Festival is a very powerful buff-set used even at end-game

- Prioritize slots 1-3 as 6* Memories have a significantly higher ATK value ceiling and are usually placed in slots 4-6

• Raise your main team to level 80

Level 80+

• Awaken - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED your main Attackers with their recommended Awakening sets

General daily/weekly routine tips

• Finish your three Weekly Bounties -- refresh until 50 or 60 Basic Construct R&D Tickets are available, up to 160 each week

- You have seven refreshes each day and the other rewards are not worth it, always refresh until all three Bounties reward Basic Construct R&D Tickets

• Do your weekly Joint Warfare runs - you can do all six runs during stage two when all stages are open
• WZ
• PPC
• Do your weekly Autopoiesis Maze runs -- you can do all of your Exploration stages on Fridays and don't have to play daily
• Try not to farm more than one Interlude each day as the cost can skyrocket quickly while farming multiple Constructs' shards
• Prioritize farming event stages (event currency/Memories) as Event shops are always more efficient than Resource Stages
• No event = Cogs, AE-4/5, OC-materials
