Puzzle and Dragons Thread 23 - LET'S GET WET (and salty)

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Welp I think I found my winner so far. Works as a leader, as well as a sub for awoken Tsukuyomi. :O

As a leader, it plays kinda like Parvati, so I'd feel right at home using it. But 6x instead of 5x, and bind proof bind clearing haste giving heart making. Subs are a little limited, but I can make it work. *-*

I could do, like... Yomi Dragon/AHaku/Persephone/Pandora/Lumiel or Durga, perhaps, if I want to take full advantage of the dark god bonus. But it's not like I would be totally unable to use AYomi or Z8 or Satsuki or Beelzebub and so on, either, just wouldn't get full benefit from them.

Well played. I like. Suddenly wishing I had Chester and Okuninushi though.

If Yomi Dragon could guarantee bind-clear with the AS, then Yomi Dragon might be pretty competent, but that and the lack of SBR kind of killed my interest in it. It's a shame really, because the concept was really quite interesting. Execution was just a bit lacking. You have to sacrifice getting the full x36 God bonus on your team in order to get utility.

EDIT: I might have legitimately bought Yomi Dragon if I didn't already have a bunch of strong Dark farming leaders sadly.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

While that's true, it isn't like that's overall an irredeemable thing, either. 16x can still do respectable damage, you know?

Ultimately I feel that the biggest weakness is lack of sbr, yes, but from personal experience 80% has served me quite well enough and I feel the only case where 100% is truly mandatory is Ultimate Arena where it's thrown at you all the time (and I'd probably run AYomi lead for that anyway).

As far as the active goes, it seems like it would be rare for it to not provide you with enough hearts to do a clear with, since you'd only need at least 2 on the board to give you a row.

More notably, I noticed how good Yomi Dragon would be for the 5x4 dungeons. You could just stack rows and go nuts, especially since you'd only need one heart or one dark for Yomi Dragon's AS to give you a row in either.

I think it's got a lot of potential! I just hope we get a dark god with 2 SBR at some point to patch the weakness in that area. Time will tell!

Yeah, Yomi Dragon would be very good for 5x4.

Sadly I already use Shiva Dragon for that, but yeah. Yomi Dragon would do very well there.

Not saying that Yomi Dragon is bad actually. Just not sure if I'd spend 300K MP on it given that Shiva Dragon and Ra Dragon exist for the same value.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I could honestly run with any of the dragons and be fine with them; it's all just a matter of preference, yeah. I would have jumped on the Shiva Dragon train myself had it not been for the fact that it would be :effort: to get everything up and running since fire is my weakest attribute by a long shot. Got a good amount of subs for it, but none of them are leveled and skilled, y'know? Technically speaking I should really get Neptune Dragon because I don't really have any super-heavy-hitting water types yet, but plenty of water rows and utilities. Odin Dragon has not got much of my attention. Ra Dragon is absolutely broken-amazing, but... I don't really want him, I guess? I have Awoken Ra already and pretty much every "match 4" god there is, I guess, but I'm just not feeling him personally. I know he's amazing but having to match all six orbs for max damage seems like a pain in the ass.

Yomi Dragon is kind of a balance of power, stats, and utility all in one, which appeals to me since that makes it pretty versatile overall. I've always been fond of bindproof bind clearers though; especially ones that can make hearts. Yomi Dragon does all that and then some, as it makes dark, has a haste, and has a strong LS too. The fact that it's just as good as a sub as it is a leader is a big selling point for me, too, since it's kind of a jack of all trades as a bindproof stat stick utility slot. That means I'll get the most use out of it than the others, since I can basically throw it on any dark team and it'll be pretty solid, especially considering that it instantly makes TPAs and hearts to work with.

tl;dr I can make it work and more importantly, it was the sub I was wanting for Awoken Tsukuyomi-- something that can deal with binds well without having poor stats. The only thing that stops it from being an amazing leader rather than just a really good one is the inability to get 100% SBR with dark god subs alone, but there is always time for one of those to come along (and possibly exist by the time Yomi Dragon is released in NA).

[trancehime]

Yeah, that's fair.

I've only bought Shiva Dragon out of all the dragons out right now and honestly I don't regret the purchase. Without him I wouldn't have been able to farm this many hypermaxes. That's just how I roll though, I'm a JP farmer through and through, and I'm gonna throw that out there, I'm all out on my lonesome here.

I rolled a satsuki and have no clue what kind of team she could be part of

Zaerog Infinity when he comes to NA, Awoken Yomi when that ult comes to NA... Uh. Awoken Anubis possibly.

[commandercool]

Huh. You think that'll make it to NA? Doesn't seem well-suited to being broken up into PAD's color system, but the dungeon should be neat.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Like all big collabs, it has about a snowball's chance in hell. :V

Anyway, thread is done. Go make a new one.
