PGR Anchored in Faith Guide: Free Adelyde, Overlinker Class, Date A Live V Collab and Kurumi Pulls

Punishing: Gray Raven’s Anchored in Faith update launches globally on September 24, 2026, bringing a new main story chapter, the debut of Adelyde: Anabasis, the new Overlinker class, major quality-of-life upgrades, and the Punishing: Gray Raven x Date A Live V collaboration featuring Kurumi Tokisaki.

The best part of this version is simple: Adelyde’s first copy is free for a limited time. Your Black Cards are better saved for Kurumi, event banners, weapons, or future targets.

Anchored in Faith Schedule

Maintenance compensation for eligible Commandants includes Black Card x600, Cog x100,000 and Serum Bundle β (M) x2. You must be Commandant Lv.20 or above before maintenance to receive it.

Free Adelyde: Anabasis

Adelyde: Anabasis is the new S-Rank Omniframe in Anchored in Faith. She is a Dark-element Overlinker who uses a Cross Cannon and introduces the Ultima Slash effect.

You can claim one free copy of Adelyde by clearing:

Journal of Promise: A Kindler’s Watch

This free claim is available from the version update until November 4, 2026 at 05:00 UTC. Do not confuse this with her normal trial stage or research banner. The free copy comes from Journal of Promise, not from a paid pull.

Adelyde Service Shop Rewards

Anchored in Faith also adds free Service Shop rewards for Adelyde.

During the version, Service Limited Missions provide Service Certificate x2,500, and Service Weekly Missions provide x500 per week. The Service Certificate cap was raised to 11,200 starting September 21, with previously earned certificates counting toward the cap.

Adelyde can also be obtained through the Crucible Event Construct and Fate Crucible Event Construct research pools, but new players should claim the free copy first before spending tickets.

What Is the Overlinker Class?

Overlinker is the new class introduced by Adelyde. When an Overlinker joins the team, switched-in members gain additional combat buffs. When certain conditions are met, all team members can also enter a special state after triggering Matrix, gaining more buffs.

In plain terms, Overlinker is a team-enhancing class. It rewards squads that rotate actively and trigger Matrix consistently. Do not rebuild your whole account around the class immediately, but Adelyde is worth claiming because she opens this new team direction for free.

Date A Live V Collab: Kurumi Tokisaki

The Punishing: Gray Raven x Date A Live V collaboration begins on September 29, 2026 and runs until November 3, 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

The collaboration adds:

Kurumi is a collaboration-limited character. She can only be obtained through the collab character R&D during the event window.

Kurumi Pull Rules

Kurumi uses Date A Live Character R&D Tickets. Each research costs 175 tickets, and Black Cards can be converted to these tickets at a 1:1 ratio.

Kurumi is available through:

• Kurumi Tokisaki Target

• Fate Kurumi Tokisaki Target

These two pools are independent. Their guarantee counters are not shared and do not carry over between them. Plan your pulls inside the collab window.

The first two times you obtain Kurumi Tokisaki in the Kurumi pools, you can claim an extra copy directly from the research screen.

This bonus makes early Kurumi copies much more efficient than a standard limited character, but only if you pull during the collaboration.

Free Collab Pulls

The Visitor From Afar sign-in event gives free collab-related rewards, including:

• Otherworld Character Target R&D Attempt x24

• Collab Weapon Target R&D Attempt x14

• Commandant Portrait: Ember Ceremony

• Event Construct R&D Ticket x1,000

These free attempts expire after the event ends, so claim and use them before spending Black Cards.

Kurumi Weapon and Armament

Kurumi’s 6★ collab weapon is Hour & Minute. It is available through the Collab Weapon Target research pool from September 29 to November 3.

Her Otherworld Armament is Zafkiel, available through the Otherworld Armament Target research pool during the same collab period. The official rules state that when you obtain an S-Rank Otherworld Armament from this pool, it is guaranteed to be Zafkiel.

Unused Date A Live Character, Weapon and Armament tickets convert after the event at a 1:1 ratio into regular Event Construct R&D Tickets, Target Weapon R&D Tickets and CUB R&D Tickets respectively.

New Events and Game Modes

Anchored in Faith includes several new and returning event modes.

The boss challenge has five difficulty tiers and 15 total stars to claim all collectible rewards.

Quality-of-Life Updates

Anchored in Faith also brings useful account upgrades:

• Memory Storage cap increased from 1,000 to 1,500

• Dormitory Base 5 added, with six more Dormitory spaces

• Quick Upgrade added for character training

• Recommended Equipment improvements for lineups and upgrade plans

• Weapon and CUB quick upgrade support

• Thunderbolt Manual milestone rewards updated

• Transition Device added to raise a character’s level, promote rank and skills through Quick Upgrade

The Transition Device does not apply to Evolve Skills, Leap Skills or Uniframe Skills.

Coatings and Paid Content

Anchored in Faith adds several coatings and paid packs.

The Stellar Memories coating research event also returns with selectable past coatings, including Night Sonata, Threads of Destiny, Love’s Dawn and Tsubaki.

Gift Code

The event preview announced the code:

PUNISHING0924

It is listed as valid until September 29, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Public event trackers list the reward as Black Card x150. Redeem it early, because codes can expire or vary by region.

Rainbow Cards and Top-Up Notes

Rainbow Cards are Punishing: Gray Raven’s paid premium currency. They are mainly used for paid packs, coatings, monthly items and other shop purchases. R&D pulls themselves usually use Black Cards or R&D tickets, so do not describe Rainbow Cards as the direct currency for every pull.

Topuplist’s Punishing: Gray Raven product page supports direct top-up by:

• Player UID

• Server

• Device system: iOS or Android

• Rainbow Card quantity

No account password is required. Make sure you choose the correct device system, because Rainbow Card balances are platform-specific. If you play on Android but top up iOS by mistake, the cards may not appear where you expect them.

Best Spending Plan for Anchored in Faith

For most players, the smartest plan is:

1. Claim free Adelyde from Journal of Promise.

2. Farm Service Certificates for Unforsaken Beacon, Kelpie and Anabasis shards.

3. Redeem PUNISHING0924 before it expires.

4. Claim Visitor From Afar free collab attempts.

5. Decide whether Kurumi is your main target.

6. Spend Black Cards only after using free collab attempts.

7. Avoid splitting pulls between Kurumi Target and Fate Kurumi Target unless you understand their separate guarantee counters.

Adelyde’s first copy is free, so there is no need to spend Black Cards just to own her. Save premium resources for Kurumi, weapons, coatings or future banners.
