Puzzle and Dragons Thread XXVI - Everyday Christmas With Monster Musume

[commandercool]

Please excuse my ignorance, but what happened to alt dungeons? I need a shitload of Bubpys for Alrescha so I was thinking I might start running alts again later after Tamadra Town, but it looks like they're just gone.

Male or female :V

There is no doubt in my mind that husbando is man.

Also man Gabe is the prettiest hasubando in PAD

Thanks I know. :V

I just mathed it out and if I went 100% hp latents on Awoken Astaroth team, with her hp boost taken into account, it would add almost 3000 hp. Dang.

On the other hand, Valk and Mikey would get much bigger benefits from atk or RCV latents, both being able to pass 1000 RCV with them. Hmm.

Alt dungeons are no more.  They are being rolled into coop dungeons.

Welcome to the great period of "You Lost Alt Coins, Wait Til Coop Comes to Get Them Back"

JP didn't have alts in coin dungeon rotations for pretty much the entire latter half of 2015 until Coop was oficially done.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Thankfully challenge dungeons are fairly consistent to get that py fix. (challenge descended with double pys where tho)

[trancehime]

Alas. I require more investment and training to be able to defeat Devil Rush Mythical Plus solo.

[commandercool]

So how exactly do coop alts work? Doesn't that make them complete trash for farming? I tend to do alts only under very specific circumstances based on the time of day it is, how much stamina I have, and how far I have until rank up. Finding a partner quickly during those extremely specific times is going to be nearly impossible. Or is there some kind of partner matchmaking? Or are they still plausible to run solo?

And yeah, challenge descends would be great, but mostly we just get more trash jewels lately. At the very least I want some snowglobes, since I'm back to having none at all, but Yamato Challenge didn't even have those. The reward may as well be carbuncles at this point for how much I need more jewels.

They recently got nerfed so that they're now a complete joke to run solo

Also you can run any floor any time for as long as you want since theyre permanent fixtures

[OverlordChirei]

if only I wasn't scrub at combos, the top 10 noniap dream could be mine

You are allowed to play them solo, but they're notably harder than the ones we knew. You may also pair up with anyone as long as you know their room number.

HP spike teams will be fine, and they no longer cost coins to run or have a one hour timer, so you're more free to run them in exchange.

[commandercool]

Thanks for the info.

Also shit, I forgot about the ranking dungeon. I guess I can use any stamina that would have gone to alts on that mess instead. I still do not have a ranking dungeon team at all. The only new team I have since last time is Neptune Dragon and he's completely unsuitable. Maybe I can get away with using Verdandi I guess.

Edit: Wait, are there no restrictions on this one? I thought it would be no actives or no awakenings but I don't see anything. There's not much preemptive trolling this time so maybe Ra would be okay.

[commandercool]

For anyone wondering how hard: Approximately this hard.



This is probably a liiittle on the low end actually.

I think there are more people happy for this change to conditionals than for the new uevos 

Chirei, I'll wait for the screenshot with Alraune dealing >2M by herself to Tengu

[The Greatest Dog]

Raoh has gotten me "close enough".

Max skilled Laila is helping a lot. Being able to get a free "skip wave" active twice is pretty strong.

[Chaore]

brb chiyome shitposting in tengu

[Edible]

All those shitty conditionals are getting a refresh, which means a new stone can be earned, which means you should clear out the old ones while you can (if you haven't already).

[commandercool]

That was pretty close to a perfect run and my score still sucks. I don't know what else I can do, so I guess I'm just bad at PAD. Probably won't be doing any more runs because I literally don't think I can do better than this. Maybe I'll try it with a different team later, but probably not.

[Jq1790]

It's not worth it.  Ranking as it is now is garbage, the end.

I have a team that OULD work if key members were leveled/evod/skilled, bit I have no way tp fix it in time and that same team will probably be invalidated by the third one so it doesnt evem feel worth bothering.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

59% on first try with AYomi. All I want is a solid 20-29%.

I got non-activable boards for EIGHT ******* TURNS IN A ROW

My reaction was....... not suitable for minors

Never cared much for the ranking but this definitely kills even the small amount i previously had....

[Dorakyura]

91k mmh with Haku, did way to many combos, gonna try a different team later

[commandercool]

I guess I should have assumed this, but turns out super ultimate Gabriel on Neptune Dragon is... good. I gained three rows between him and Reine with this update, and his new super-high attack means he hits waaaaaaaay harder than he did before.

So what's this Neptune Dragon team that clears the new Ultimate Arena, anyway? Is it a really specific build, or do I have a shot at it with my team?

orochi is basically mandatory, but you can try it with SQ I suppose...

[commandercool]

I do have Orochi. He's not hypermax or even evolved, and I don't have the Bubpys for him right now, but I do have him.

...I have all those subs.

Hm.

[commandercool]

Do iiiiit get NepDra so we can do co-ops!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Well, my water team was my next 10x goal. Maybe.

Awoken FA Luci is very, very tempting too.

[trancehime]

Awoken FA Luci is very, very tempting too.

Awoken FA Luci also dumpsters Arena 2.0 and is one of the more common leads for it.

It's really up to you though.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

well i mean

fa luci doesn't cost 300k

[trancehime]

well i mean

fa luci doesn't cost 300k

That is a fair point, but both of them are pretty similar in terms of usage.

Personally I'd recommend A.FA Luci mostly because Dark is a stronger and more popular colour.
