Sakura and Dragons Thread 33 - But it's not like we'll ever get her in NA, so.

[commandercool]

She's a great rainbow sub. I need to rework Myrei already to fit Ragnarok on there and I'm going to try to get NuMeta on board as well. Lack of subattribute is a little limiting but it shouldn't be a huge problem by any means.

Probably go for something like Myrei/LMeta/Ragnarok/DKali/RYomi/Myrei. The only thing that I feel like I'm really missing there is a delay. And Pollux has been doing some work in making Myrei's active feel more tolerable so losing that slot isn't ideal, but I don't really have a great PreDra plan at the moment.

Who are you and what have you done with ccool

A little limiting, but the time constraints weren't too difficult to work with, couldn't you replace ryomi with an option for predras?

[commandercool]

I got tired of people making a thing of it every time. :V

Technically yes but I'm not sure what that would be. Would need to cover blue and I can't think of any great blue or even sub-blue options off the top of my head. Neptune or Neptune Dragon would work but they're pretty awkward,especially when Metatron cleanly fills two important roles at once.

Arena 3 clear brought to you by quad catte power

[Zengar Zombolt]

In one hand, yay split angels 2! Don't need to carry two 2xSBR subs anymore on my DAth team.
On the other hand... What do I even use in that place??? Loki's staying there of course, but dunno what's a good replacement for awoken okuni.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

New DMeta is actually where it's at. She's actually tremendously solid, possibly even more so than DAthena, at the price of being quite a bit harder to use. You're not really limited to using TPA subs to do huge damage, and the only condition is that you have less than 80% HP, which isn't much to sweat over at all, unlike how she was years ago as a pure glass cannon. HP is huge, and the no skyfalls gives you really good control over your damage output too-- you can do 2.25x over 80%, 81x at less than 80%, and double that for the DMetas with the 7c awakening-- and that's not counting rows. And recovery is super easy when necessary, with 2.25x on that as well.

Very, very good. I'm legit impressed.

[aUsernameIsFineToo]

Oh boy DAthena hits like a truck...

In other words, time to put together a dark team and go wreck things.

[commandercool]

Last second Heroine pull. Saw that diamond egg and... Well, it's not a dupe 5*.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

My last second pull got me Mito #347732. Should have saved for pcgf

[Jq1790]

Decided to join the last ditch Heroine rollfest.

>Elgenubi

Holy crap that's not Meri but wow what a consolation prize.

[commandercool]

Christ, what am I going to do with Navi? Is there a lead she pairs especially well with as a lead? She's just another unit that seems to fall flat because she has a Kali active while most really good stuff wants a DKali active.

[Jq1790]

I've been wondering about her myself. She really shouldn't have been a 6*.  A waste of great art which makes me sad because Navi is totes cute.

[commandercool]

Yeah, and her ultimate form reeeeally didn't help. I mean, of the three 7x6 leads I have she is arguably the best one, but the other two both unlock locked orbs which is pretty relevant so they have other uses. She really doesn't outside of some kind of bizarre team that would stack the same unit with no lock resists, and I have no idea what that team would be.

[Zengar Zombolt]

What do you know, yolo'd a NY Yomi. Revenge for heroines disappointment I guess!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

yoloroll in pink dragon gave me the literal worst pull possible

that's what i get for not saving for pcgf i guess

[Monarda]

And yet you leave us guessing.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

it's not the hardest one to pick out of the bunch since she's more or less completely useless

[Jq1790]

Maybe whenever the other dragon Knights get buffed he AS will become less crap and shell become viable for some weird thing?

[commandercool]

Did one pink REM pull and got a Halloween Sonia. Neat! Great for the inherit if nothing else, might also be a solid sub.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

second yolo, dupe halloween parvati

yeah never mind this is one of those trap REMs right before pcgf

[Jq1790]

One pull yesterday, Snow Star Byakko, Haku.

Cuteness 100%.  Not entirely sure where I'll use her but an extra Haku active to throw around is never a bad thing plus she's cute.

[Jq1790]

Does ReLeilan's damage reduce work passively? It sounds like it's supposed to kick in when you match two of the types, but I haven't seen any indicator of that.

[Monarda]

Pretty sure it works regardless of triggering the combo mod or not.

[Jq1790]

Chinese damage reduction is always on.  It is worded to show it as a separate thing; hence it not saying like "4.5x Atk and reduces damage when attacking with two of Fr/Wd/Lt" or something.

Re: heroine buffs

Momiji is winnar
Everyone going crazy about finally having a much more accessible resolve killer

Romia 7c awakening holy shit she got one of the better treatments among the non 7*s really
 I can imagine arena 3 with her being much easier if I ever bother to do that again.
Anyways I can see people using her in anubis now to cheese 8c with the huge number of finger awakenings.

[commandercool]

Well, Navi definitely got better. This didn't fix what was wrong with her, but it's surprisingly good I think. She's still a sub nobody really wants but she's a much better sub, and as a lead she's no longer necessarily a huge liability in the damage department. Hmm.

[Monarda]

I accept any buffs for my Fluffy Ilmina. :>

[O4rfish]

I wonder how that works.  She breaks resolve with sake and mochi? 

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Decided I'm gonna build up a Myr, just for the hell of it. What a pain to do. I dunno if I'm even gonna use her much, but it's still a project to work on. I don't have ANY good subs for her though really.
