Puzzle and Final Fantasy Thread XXV: Throw your Gil at the SOMETHING ELSE

[Suikama]

eh I haven't really enjoyed using her so far. 20x is really weak when you have no rows or TPA, and matching a cross of hearts is actually really hard because there's 0 flexibility in how you make it. Unlike a 5 match which you can usually place along a wall so it doesn't get in the way of other orbs, a cross clogs up a 3x3 space. Not to mention it costs 5 heart orbs which you might have been better off saving

well excuse me for being terrible

[trancehime]

Volsungr is quite possibly the easier than Z8 as a dungeon

EDIT:

Awoken Loki is Physical/Devil, D/L, and requires Zeus-Stratios and Mephisto with Dark/Dark/Light Jewels.

He got 2 TPA and 2 SBR, making him fairly flexible for Dark teams.

My reactions when i saw A.Loki:

D/L = "yes..."
2 SBR = "Yes!"
2 TPA = "OH GOD YES!!"
Physical/Devil = "FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo..............."

I was sooo hoping for him to get Attacker......  :fail:
Well, at least he is a terrific sub for Ronia

[Dorakyura]

2 TPA, 2 ROWS and 2 SBR, Really strong. You could add him into teams together with all the other tpas+rows Dark like Persephone, AHades, Claire, BeachPandora, Zuoh.

[Edible]

Loki being physical/devil may have just permanently sold me on focusing on dark for my next big team.  I really want to get use out of batman.

[Suikama]

Oh I was hoping for D/L Loki so I could use him on RaDragon

He's still not a god, but I get 100% SBR on top of a boost that works on most of the team so maybe it could work for arena?

[OverlordChirei]

well excuse me for being terrible

says mr. 8 avg combo ;o

[Suikama]

RaDra is basically cheating though :derp:

I can shift an orb, check the news, grab a drink, then come back and still have enough time to completely solve the board

[Espadas]

Decided to roll once in the godfest just to avoid regretting it later.....

I HAVE NO REGRETS!  Kushinadahime 

Decided to tackle FF Mythical with RoBu.....

I have a few regrets, namely the 2 stones i had to burn to clear it  :fail:

FF Mythical is no joke, trust me.   It's not for the faint of heart.

I accidentally S-ranked Final Fantasy clearing it with Ra for the stone. It may very well be tough for most teams, but if you have a large-multiplier burst team, use that. The dungeon has no tricks whatsoever to prevent you from just steamrolling everything with a big multiplier. No pre-emptives, no resolve, nothing with especially good defense or HP. Just weird-looking monsters standing there waiting to get splattered. To be clear I'm not saying it's easy or that anyone having trouble with it sucks, just that it's vrry exploitable with a certain kind of team.

Am I remembering that Sumire's leader skill also triggers rows in 5x4s? Is she good for those? She seems like she might be too orb-hungry for me normally, but I may max her for that.

I'm working on Halloween Kali right now, and how does this team look?

HKali/WKali/WKali/WMetatron/Izanagi/HKali

I feel bad about all the wasted skillboosts and am slightly concerned about the lack of heartmaker or delay on a team that I'll probably want to do some stalling with, but it's pretty buff and the damage should be solid.

Yes, Sumire DOES trigger rows in 5x4s!  I almost beat 5x4 EC with her unevo'd/unleveled(I think I got to like Ceres or something) because of that silliness, actually.  I just need her skilled and some faster orb changes and I might revisit it someday way later in fact.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Hera Challenge complete. Cost me a stone for stam to keep trying Hera Rush (Fuck you, fatty, and your Osiris blocking ways), but I got my stone back and have enough snow globe exp to max out Yomi Dragon as soon as I get her.

[Suikama]

Wow Hera Beorc is a huge pain for Ra Dragon because of her light absorb. Stalling for 10 turns is easy, but if you accidentally skyfall 144x you will instantly lose (unless you have the full Arena team with latents designed to survive 30k hits)

Luckily any delay/shield or running Awoken Ra friend solves that issue easily but still RIP 149 stamina...

[commandercool]

The more I think about it the more I'm convincing myself that Snow White is a legit Halloween Kali sub in the Metatron slot of the team I posted earlier. I lose Metatron actually being able to do damage for a short-cooldown heartmaker to help with stalling. Hmm...

BTW anyone who needs another A Ammy friend, this person, Cobb, has a hyper sonic one:

Does she make the screen flash and have enemies spontaneously explode?

Wait, who am I kidding, that IS what AAmmy does.

[Dr Rawr]

yea i roll with awoken ammy 323 743 297 hyper maxed or what ever we call it

"Okay FF collab, let's blow all my stones on you!"

*endless torrent of aces and wols*

"Okay fuck this, the rest go to the godfest"

*Tsubaki, Urd*

The moral of the story is never roll on collabs.

[Moogs Parfait]

I think if GH wants people to more than yolo on the collabs more, they need to continually upgrade them like the regular pantheon gods.

The pattern is clear now:  Pantheons get continual upgrades, special gods get an ult and then are left to rot, and collabs are what you see is what you get unless the jp fanbase throws a fit (DBZ)

Hey, Eva got upgrades. Not "way better versions of already-high-tier stuff" level upgrades like Fist Of The North Star, but still plenty nice.

[Janitor Morgan]

Doing a little bit of research via stamina expenditure: 1.5x drops on FF collab does not mean 100% drops on non-Kefka floors if you're running Master or lower. 2x drops might be different, but for 1.5x it's Legend or higher for guarantees.

I feel you. I rolled 3 times in godfest and got Sumire. Took me 8 rolls in FF to get a gold last night (Squall). Should have just been content with Yunie as my first roll.

[commandercool]

Alright, I fed Halloween Kali all four of the spare Angelits I had around and two spare blue snowglobes, and from that she got one skillup and max experience. So now she needs five awakenings, four skillups (probably to be carried out via Badpy, since I don't feel like farming Friday Dungeon), and 281 more +eggs. Let's see how fast I can do this without stoning.

Meanwhile, I need one more Dub-Rubylit to make Awoken Susano. He'll need some Tamadras that I don't have as well, but at least I can skillmax him right away (and conveniently reclaim a lot of box space in the process).

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Tamadra guerillas tomorrow, for what it's worth.

Star Vault today as well, but who cares about that with 10x on the horizon?

[commandercool]

Unless my Tamadras are early tomorrow I have to pass, since 3x normals starts and that's more time-sensitive.

Who cares about Star Vault? I do given that I have nothing better to do today. Not enough to stone or anything, but I'll put a full stamina bar in it.

i wonder if they just nerfed the rem when we got it or something

people are reporting a -lot- of bad rolls for some reason

[Janitor Morgan]

and apparently just failed to get Cloud of Darkness to drop on Legend

Mythical or bust?
