Powercreep and Dragons Thread XXVII: Making Juggler less OP all day everyday

[trancehime]

Yatagarasu is basically just experience food. It's also a skillup for Amaterasu, but her most recent and most popular form has a different skill anyway so most of the time people don't even use it for that.

Notably, there's an Amaterasu TAMADRA in the Takemikazuchi Descended! dungeon so now RIP Yatagarasu.

Welcome to the cat club :V

[Mеа]

I decided to work on my beach Pandora team in the meantime while I'm being indecisive since it's been there for awhile. Just stoned like a dirty mf to get my first Zaerogoo, (I really need a 2nd Kali). I have pretty much everything but a Hanzo, meaning I'll have to use a Blonia instead of Haku but she just got an ult so I guess that's good. Recently rolled a Diadem and that one rebellious Japanese guy, Akechi? I should be set to go. I still feel like Pandora would collide with ASaku because it's only a damage multiplier only team.

Edit: it was Akechi, and whoops I forgot what his thing was, he would totally with with AHaku. But then I would need a heartbreaker too, but I have no space and vamp sucks... Claire, I wish I had her beach version. Choices choices

Akechi is Red -> Dark, Blue -> Hearts, enhanced Dark orbs.

He is basically the perfect partner for Awoken Haku, and is one of the reasons why he's abnormally high in the ult evo survey

Oh wait I'm such an idiot, no, I wouldn't need a heartbreaker because yeah. Right, thanks.

[Dorakyura]

Evolved AFreyja yesterday, I'm not sure yet, but I think I will use my Pis on her.
So, if you need her, just give me a message (I would prefer if you send me a message ahead of time, since I won't be able to change leads or get online during work time)

[commandercool]

What do you guys think of U/R Orochi vs. Awoken Orochi on a Neptune Dragon team? Awoken Ororchi has a better active and more HP (and HP is very valuable on a NepDra team) but less recovery (he's not a God so he won't get the recovery modifier) and less damage most of the time. I could see his quad-prong madness coming in handy very occasionally if I'm triggering NepDra's leader skill off of black orbs but I have enough blue to do a prong, but that's pretty niche.

Edit: It's also a minor point of intereat that with U/R Orochi I could use Nepdra in rainbow dungeons. But Ra already handily deals with all of those so I kind of doubt it matters.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I prefer Awoken if not only because of the faster active, honestly. And should you ever need it, he's a better leader too.

[commandercool]

I guess it pretty much comes down to "Do I already have enough damage and recovery?", and the answer is probably yes. HP probably matters more than both of those things at this point.

Unfortunately all of my Bubpys will be tied up with Alrescha for the immediate future so skilling up Awoken Orochi won't be easy.

[The Greatest Dog]

Too close for me.

[trancehime]

[10:06:10] <trance|work> =( I had to use Akechi on Athena so I basically kind of forfeit my chance to beat Arena. Oh well
[10:06:59] <trance|work> I popped A.Haku as a last ditch attempt to try and bypass the damage check, but she only gave me 6 dark orbs. :|

[commandercool]

So looking at Challenge 10 closer it looks like I might be able to beat it with Gabe. The first floor isn't the kind of thing that requires me to kill it in like two turns, and Satan's placement isn't that bad. But that depends on how  Vishnu's shield works in a couple of way.

First, PDX says his shield blocks damage above 1,000k. Is that a typo or just a weird way of writing 1,000,000?

Second, does it care about damage before or after resistance? I'm assuming after, but I don't want to be caught unaware.

Assuming both of those things work the way I hope they do it'll just be a matter of hoping all of the skyfall boosting effects don't fuck me over by making hearts too scarce to stall correctly. And I don't think I can use Gabriel/Gabriel because Satan might be too hard to kill (although I'll have to do the math again now that the Gabriel buffs are out), so that means I'll probably want to use Gabriel/I&I which is kind of suboptimal.

[trancehime]

Vishnu's shield absorbs damage above 1,000,000

[Jq1790]

All damage shields count actual DEALT damage, not Atk power.  (So a fire mon who deals more than 500,000 will heal him as well due to final damage exceeding the limit)  (In your case it means you'd have to deal 2 million damage to fall afoul of it if you're going with Gabe.)

It is 1 million. Also, it takes the final, true damage of each hit, which meant that as Leilan I couldn't hit over 500,000 on the numbers over each card's picture after all the calculating, which I circumvented by doing regular 3-matches. In your case it can't exceed 2 million for blue numbers.

skilling up halloween thothdet is a nightmare

skilling up halloween thothdet is a nightmare

I'm at 1/5, I hope I get some more today :/

[commandercool]

Oh shit, looks like best friend maintenance is tonight. Last chance before I pick someone else, does anyone want to triangle?

[Dorakyura]

DIdn't you get one of the MP Dragons? You should pick a friend for it, I guess.

[commandercool]

Yes, I got Neptune Dragon, but I have a steady stream of those coming in. Ideally I'd rather have a rare friend lead than something that's common enough to have multiples of on my list already. Right now Ryune is pretty rare but I expect those to become more common with time. And my current hypermax Ryune friends don't have her up very often.

[Jq1790]

I guess Ill put a notice here juuust in case I appeal to anyone re:BFF Reset

Commonly used leads are
-Awoken Karin(hyper)
-Awoken Shiva(Max level/Awoken)
-Verdandi(non ult, will fix soon, max level/6 Awakenings)
-Awoken Sakuya(max level/Awoken)
-Psychopomp Commerce Deity, Hermes(max level/Awoken)
-Urd(Max Awoken, ~Lv 82?)
-Moon Flower Huntress, Artemis(Max level/Awoken/skill)
-Bountiful Arbor Goddess, Freyja(will make Awoken Freyja when I get to getting Hel/Gaia)(Max level/4 Awakenings)

I also have(but do not often lead with but can be asked for):
-Arbiter of Judgement, Metatron(hyper)
-Sumire(max level/5 Awakenings)
-Kaede(some high level, max awoken)

I am going to make:
-Awoken Leilan
-Banishing-Claw Byakko, Haku

(My BFF I already decided on for when the reset occurs, so sorry to anyone looking for my token)

[Pesco]

If it's red, I probably have it.

[commandercool]

EZ with Gabriel. I even got two Tamadras for my trouble again.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I have almost as many Grisar as I do Sopdet and that's really sad

[Akala]

Hi ! Still steamrolling through dungeon here (Horus + Gigas + Ice Armor Ogre + Super King Gold Dragon + Vampire Lord, the gold dragon will be replaced by Gabriel once I get enough Team cost)
What can I do with the Yatagarasu I got from the PAL Machine ? Looks like xp food but not sure..

[The Greatest Dog]

Yatagarasu is supposed to be used on Amaterasu or Ceres, but nobody uses them for that anymore.

Truly, feel free to use the bird for experience.

[Yukarin]

I'm working on some kind of white rows team with no defined leader, so Wukong, Awoken Venus, and/or Raphael may pop up occasionally as well starting soon.

My best friend slot also isn't currently being used for anything particular, so it's available to host any of these or other subs that people might want to use as leads maybe.

Liu Bei (Hypermax)
Reine (Hypermax)
Athena (Skillmax)
