Liv: Limpidity Leads Punishing: Gray Raven’s Latest Patch With New Story and Events

The latest version update for Punishing: Gray Raven, titled “Where Nightmares Dwell,” is live—and it’s one of the densest patches in recent memory. Commandants are getting a powerful new S‑Rank Liv: Limpidity, her exclusive 6★ weapon and CUB, a fresh story chapter, stylish coatings, a global Stellar Rush event, and a new Babylonia exploration mode to roam.

Maintenance for this version runs 2025/11/12, 23:00 – 2025/11/13, 05:00 (UTC), with compensation of:

• Black Card ×600

• Serum Bundle (M) ×2

• Cogs ×100,000

⚡ New S‑Rank Character — Liv: Limpidity

Liv: Limpidity joins the battlefield as an S‑Rank Lightning Attacker with the Darkflow Effect, built around blisteringly fast, high‑impact damage and potent synergy in Lightning teams.

She features on the new [Phylotree Nexus] research with a 100% rate‑up, available from:

• 2025/11/13 (after maintenance) – 2025/12/22, 05:00 (UTC)

Banner specifics:

• Phylotree Nexus includes:

  • Limpidity Event Construct

  • Fate Limpidity Event Construct

• It follows the rules of a standard Themed Construct research and uses Event Construct R&D Tickets.

• Guarantee (pity) sharing:

  • [Limpidity Event Construct] shares its gauge with Themed Construct.

  • [Fate Limpidity Event Construct] shares its gauge with Fate Themed Construct.

• Limited availability: Liv: Limpidity is exclusive to Phylotree Nexus during this version; she will not appear on other banners in this cycle, but may rerun in future Phylotree events.

• Her inver‑shards are obtained like other S‑rank Omniframes—via pulling dupes, the Phantom Pain Shop (Phantom Pain Scar), and Shard Shop redemptions.

If you’re building Lightning, this is a clear high‑priority pull.

🔱 New 6★ Signature Weapon & S‑Rank CUB

6★ Signature Weapon — “Ripples of the Aloft Sea”

• Weapon type: Lotus Wheel

• Designed specifically for Liv: Limpidity, amplifying her damage output and overall kit.

• Featured with an 80% rate‑up on [Target Weapon] research:

  • 2025/11/13 (after maintenance) – 2025/12/22, 05:00 (UTC)

• After the event ends, Ripples of the Aloft Sea leaves the Target Weapon research and does not join the Basic Weapon pool.

New S‑Rank CUB — Levvi

• Tailor‑made to synergize with Liv: Limpidity, further boosting her performance.

• Has a 100% rate‑up on [CUB Target] research during the same event period.

• Once the event concludes, Levvi exits the CUB Target banner as well.

For a fully optimized Lightning core, pairing Liv with Ripples of the Aloft Sea and Levvi is the ideal setup.

• Log In Daily: Don’t skip Stellar Rush—daily racing predictions add up to meaningful cosmetics and resources.
