Punishment

While off-field, the equipper's Energy Regen increases by 0.6/s. Attacks from the equipper enhances the squad's DMG against a struck target by10% for 3s. During this period, this effect is further increased by 1.7% every 0.5s, up to a maximum additional increase of 10.2%. Repeated triggers only refreshes its duration without refreshing the DMG increase effect. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. *Stats shown are at Base level.

How to Get This W-Engine

Pull it from Signal Search using Master Tapes / Encrypted Master Tapes (bought with Polychrome) — S-rank W-Engines get their own banner, usually alongside the matching character's banner.

Trade for it at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy section (Sixth Street): costs W-Engine Components + W-Engine Chips + Denny; Chips come from disassembling spare W-Engines.

A handful of A/B-rank W-Engines unlock through Proxy Primer trials or as story/event rewards instead of the gacha — not every W-Engine is pullable.

Official Artwork / Lore

A special W-Engine with multiple layers embedded inside. It contains a special Ether charging layer that can quickly recharge special-model Bangboo and custom-made combat equipment. Even though this W-Engine looks like a cruel confinement chamber, Rina's Bangboo seem to enjoy sneaking in there to recharge their batteries. They even treat resting inside as a cozy reward. "Shhh... The two little ones are resting; if they're woken suddenly they'll be sure to cause a ruckus. Let's avoid making any noise while we enjoy our tea." — Rina, giving a gentle reminder as she serves tea to friends

How to read this W-Engine page

Every W-Engine has 5 Refinement ranks (R1→R5): refinement ONLY strengthens the passive effect — the numbers in the table above run from left (R1, unrefined) to right (R5, max refinement via 4 duplicates or Overclock materials); Base ATK and the Advanced Stat (CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG/ATK%/PEN Ratio/Anomaly Proficiency...) do NOT change with refinement, only with the engine's level. "Best Agents for this W-Engine" prioritizes agents whose real build actually recommends this engine; if that data isn't available yet, the page falls back to agents sharing the same specialty as a rough guide. "Alternatives of the same specialty" lists other W-Engines with the same role — useful when you don't own the engine shown on this page.

How much Denny and material does it take to upgrade Weeping Cradle, and where do I farm it?

Is Overclocking Weeping Cradle worth it?
