Puzzle and Dragons Thread XXVI - Everyday Christmas With Monster Musume

[Dr Rawr]

Huh so apparently red Sonia can drop from the Christmas rem. I guess that saves me the 300kmp I didn't have.

good luck pulling her though it's sub 0.5% chance or something

[Dr Rawr]

nonononoonon i meant that she did drop for me lol. i was just surprised because the message on the rem didnt mention it

[Ruka]

Had a gift card laying around, so I figured why not and give it a try.



I just wanted Angel... 

[commandercool]

Two pulls were all I had stones for at the start.

-Alraune
-Lilith

Nothing amiss here yet. And is it just me, or are their leader skills (except Siren) kind of legit? They're not amazing, but they seem like a great deal, especially for newer players.

Edit: Seeing a disturbing lack of Paulinas outside of Trance though.

1 more roll, and that makes 2 Paulinas for me.

rdj sniped a Paulina last night.

[Jq1790]

Yeah, they all have startlingly good LSs, especially Alraune if I recall.  1.5X hp/2.5x atk, was it?  Siren got I think the worst one followed by Echidna(1.5/all and 2.5hp/1.5atk respectively?)

[aUsernameIsFineToo]

I have no self-control...

[commandercool]

I'm inclined to say that Angel has the best one with x2 HP/x2 ATK (I think?). Too bad there's no fully compatible Norse, but I think that's close to the Raphael friend lead we've been looking for. Limiting to white healers sucks, but that still gets Valkyrie and Venus.

Angel and Raphael seem like their actives wouldn't be compatible, but they're effectively a stacking delay which is rare and interesting. Not sure how manyvplaces that matters in the entirety of the game, but where it does matter you could do some crazy shit with it.

Just snagged one along with Lilith.  The latter is not very cute

[commandercool]

What do you guys think of red Liu Bei? How does he compare to Awoken Kagu? His skill is basically better, his attack is higher, and his typing is more traditonal, but is that worth the lower HP? Do Awoken Shiva teams, among other red prong setups, have room for both?

Yeah, that's what I said when she was revealed. Worst Christmas, not cute at all.

It may be hard to TPA with how many orbs Liu Bei generates sometimes as well. Other than that I think it is purely a statistical preference.

[The Greatest Dog]

as a Zaerogoo user who fields Persephone
You have to be very aware of how many heal/dark/light orbs you already have, but getting 4 distinct dark matches isn't terrible even if you're saturated. It's different for Shiva, who still needs 7 total combos regardless

[commandercool]

I'm used to Liu Bei on a Verdandi team, so I know how flooding the board is a potential risk. Didn't occur that Kagu might be better for Shiva because he might make hitting seven combos easier, but I can see that.

Just watched my roommate pull three Liliths in a row. The game crapped out on him and ate ten stones on one pull somehow and spit out two Liliths. They were all different levels so it's not that one of them got duplicated or anything, but that's still sketchy as hell. Dangers of playing PAD on trashy Comcast wireless I guess.

[Tea Devil]

Three pulls, three Paulinas.

Not as disappointing as some special egg machines have been, but still. I don't mind that they're silvers, just that it's three of the same in a row.

Well, hopefully I'll get something different next time. I'd like to think red Liu, but I can't let the desire sensor know, maaannn.

[Suikama]

1 roll

Siren

k good got a blue bae time to quit while I'm ahead

he's really bad for shiva

his HP is low and you kinda care about that because you intend to burst heal super hard, his active is basically shit, being both longer and changing two colors, and while he does bring an SBR kagu doesn't to the table he's still a mixed sub in prong land

the true answer is really neither, embrace rozuel supremecy but i can forgive those she has not blessed

Sets also better for long-cd cards because that 1 turn gives you enhanced damage and a more usable orb ratio

in short, red bei is the worst red tri-prong, sure glad I won't roll hi-

[foilhat]Desire sensor working as intended.[/foilhat]

[commandercool]

Yeah, I guess I forgot that triple prongs are super common now. The real question though is where does Babby Rodin fit into all of this?

I still stand behind green Liu Bei on Verdandi. With an orb enhancer you can still do respectable damage off of a flooded board and high attack is at a super-premium for her. But Verdandi kind of sucks, so it's not really comparable to Shiva. :v

Edit: Actually, on that topic, does Verdandi suck? Is anybody getting endgame work done eith her? I certainly can't, but apparently I'm horrible at this game so maybe people are better enough at prongs than I am that she is clearibg hard stuff somehow and I just missed it.

I should probably note that if you took all my Alraune clears and swapped the positions of Alraune and Verdandi, you'd probably almost instantly have a much better team. The restriction on the whole team needing to be Balanced is also lifted as well... which is pretty huge.

[Edible]

... oh

I apparently got knocked out of the 20th percentile and wound up on 20.1% or something last night :colonveeplusalpha:

Didn't want that py anyway, I guess.

Got a Christmas Paulina, who is super good.

Hmm fair enough. Maybe I should try her with a Bastet friend then. That does solve her "plenty of bulk, nothing of anything else" problem to a degree. That is how that team works, right? With a Bastet friend?

[The Greatest Dog]

my 1.7% score decayed to 2.6%

I'm okay with this, as it's a good indicator of how Whaley NA is if I can get that score with Zaerogoo.

Yes. Just match high combos and go. Pretty simple. Should be able to floor nearly everything with enough investment.

stacking time extends is for BITCHES

As an owner of miniROdin, I really,REALLY wanted to like him because triprongs off decent Atk(I think he maxes at like 1500-1600ish which is not the best triprong Atk, but certainly not bad), but that all-too-situational active limits his viability in the worst way.

[commandercool]

Well shit, this happened on my first Mythical run while clearing 5x4 Hera-Ur for the stone. I think I have too many of these fuckers now.

Also I forgot I don't have any Sumire friends so I doubt I'm going to be able to pull this off on Legend Plus.

Edit: OH WHAT THE FUCK THE LEGEND PLUS RUN HAD ONE TOO. Can anyone else confirm if these guys are super common or not?

When do you want her ready by?

("ready" in this case can only mean max level/Awakening right now, sadly, but it's something)

[commandercool]

Too late because I already went in, but the answer would have been "next 45 minutes because I already bought the dungeon without looking". And I don't have the stamina for snother run if I lose. Thanks though.
