Heart Shield and Dragons Thread 32 - Some Festive Edition

[commandercool]

Yaaay! Now to never use you ever.

[O4rfish]

Well, this is new.

[Hikarin]

Oh, JP gets those all the time.

[Jq1790]

Commander, any chance you can up that Neptune of yours again in like an hour or so(about 6:45-7 EST)?  Please leave the Kushi inherit attached.

Hopefully. I'm in C10 fighting Vishnu infinitely right now.

Aren't we best friends? Reptune should be up in my BF slot. But yeah, hopefully I'll be done in C10 soon...

We are not.  Friends, but not Best Friends.  Something for one of us to fix next reset probably.

[commandercool]

Ugh. Had to abandon my C10 run because, as I kind of feared, Alrescha makes it virtually impossible. God Killer totally fucks this. Guess I'll have to give it another go with Reine instead. But that won't be for a few hours. Reptune up for now.

[Jq1790]

Nevermind, I screwed up a match and got killed by something that had no business killing me, like usual.  Another day I guess.

[commandercool]

Husbando versus his worst enemy.

Die you miserable creep. This took more tries than it had any right to.

[Jq1790]

Had to switch roles, but either way I got my goal.




Awoken Karin(and friends) clear Yamato Rush Mythical Plus!  I've wanted this one for a looong time after my old days of Legend Plus destroying me.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

this special REM has been pretty good to me and all the free stones have been making pulls simple

so far:
-Elgenubi
-Meridionalis
-Momiji
-Barbara

and once I finish the descended challenge dungeons I'll have enough for another. still want Ilmina and Romia because cute af

Next pull:
-Momiji

ok that's kind of annoying after all that playing I guess I'll buy one more pull, I haven't spent money on PAD in AGES

-Momiji

and that's why  :colonveeplusalpha:

[MatsuriSakuragi]

gotcha

[Jq1790]

Oh right I pulled her a couple days ago.  Right.

To rot in the box forever because I own a pentamax of the regular version, but nice to have.  Much better recolor than the atrocious Kali variant..

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Kali's recolor is really bad, but I confess it's nice to have a blue version of her. Dunno why, because I don't really need it, but still, the option is there I guess.

And yeah I have a pentamax ASaku as well, but I guess it's nice to like, have a red grav or something lol

[Hikarin]

Rolled Kuvia :3

Maybe I'll put her on my Antares team? Or should I give her her own team to use Krishna Helpers?

[Jq1790]

I imagine anyone who likes UmiYama would get miles out of Coloring Book Kali but yeah.  As for RSaku, I suppose that's true; had there been a current-HP gravity for red that was of actual more-likely-to-be-relevant strength?  (i.e. not Dancing Queen Hera-Ur or RChester)

[commandercool]

As someone who likes UmiYama... Meh. She doesn't provide much they want. Doesn't combine with their active in a very good way, doesn't synergize with the heartbreaker you're likely packing, and she doesn't provide white, which is the hardest color to fill on an UmiYama team right now.

Her awakenings are pretty good and a green sub might actually become fairly valuable once Reincarnated Orochi comes out, eliminating our best green option (but filling the white slot) and presumably eventually Reincarnated Isis does something similar. So maybe she'll actually be a big deal eventually, but I vastly prefer black Kali if she's available and I don't even play her right now, so... I don't know. Maybe Coloring Kali will be great on UmiYama if their sub colors get scrambled in the near future and she's definitely a passable budget option, but right now I'm pretty underwhelmed by her.

[Zengar Zombolt]

So with the descended challenge I managed to get a possibly last roll from Heroines and well... t'was Navi. It's the only six star I've gotten so far but what can you do with her? Her awakenings are so sketchy I don't even think her UVO can be good, four SBR is overkill.

[commandercool]

Oof, yeah I hadn't seen the six-star Navi before now. That seems really, REALLY sketchy. Doesn't seem like a passable sub, so leading with her and a different friend seems ideal, right? What would pair well with her? Presumably a rainbow lead that gives an HP boost, not sure what fits that mold necessarily. Huh.

[Jq1790]

I'm hoping she gets enough interesting Awakenings or some greatly improved LS so that she can actually do something.

Worst case scenario she's a light Kaliboard inherit I can use for rainbow teams without making her dad unusable since I wanna experiment with Sherias someday.

... Radra? :v That would give me an excuse to level that Dkali :v:v:v

[commandercool]

... Radra? :v That would give me an excuse to level that Dkali :v:v:v

Kiiind of? That sounds like the clunkiest and most specific team ever devised, but if you could somehow pull off all physical white TPA gods that also meet all of the color requirements and have rainbow-friendly actives then maybe? Aside from the nonbo of Navi not making hearts while Ra needs hearts... Ugh.

You could probably afford to have one or maybe even two off-color utility subs provided both are gods (Revo Orochi is a god, right?) but the remaining two would almost have to be like, double Kanna or something since your multiplier actually isn't good at all, so you'll need to rely on stacking tons of TPAs to kill stuff. With no reliable way to control the amount of white on the board.

Maybe the combo boost awakening is the key. Maybe subs and/or a friend lead that take heavy advantage of combo boost is the way to go since it doesn't lock you in to quite as specific of requirements for your subs.

[Zengar Zombolt]

That's the other typical all-rounder suggestion for 7x6 boarders...
... Revo Horus :v
As for getting rainbow for radra I guess I could put DKali, AIsis and uh... AIzanagi? It's a super jank idea and I don't see myself using it at all really, so I'll wait for the evos this weekend to make a veredict.

[Thaws]

Combo skip is best thing.
Amazing for people slowly getting tired of the game yet still plays. :V

It will also greatly change the ranking landscape, especially non-fixed team ones.

[commandercool]

What's combo skip?

[Thaws]

What's combo skip?

There's a new option that skips the animation for counting combos from today's update on jp. All the combo numbers kinda just pops at the same time instead of one by one. Saving lots of time.

It will be forced on ranking. Thus reducing a great portion of the "time penalty" from making more combos.

It cannot be enabled for multi mode though.


Other quality of life updates include more sorting options, evolve selection screen differentiating cards that can evolve or devolve, and 6* and up eggs being rainbow-ish diamond coloured.

[Mеа]

that sounds like a small indirect buff for combo teams in arena

[commandercool]

Ooh, new egg textures for six-stars sounds nice. I get a LOT of texts from different people I know asking me "Is this rare" with screencaps of different things they pulled. Maybe that'll help a bit. And more different things to look at is always fun.

[commandercool]

Is anyone else having a problem with best friends displaying as unused even when they've been used lately? It's not a huge issue, but it's mildly annoying when trying to farm pal points for the Gungho pal machine. Maybe it's been ongoing and I never noticed, but definitely noticing this week. It usually takes the form of all of my pal point usages for the day appearing to reset at some point in the afternoon even though they don't really.

[OverlordChirei]

Finally cleared the arena 0-stone. I can quit pad at last.
