Puzzle & Dragons forever 17 - Star Vault Didn't Go So Well: I Was Nonplussed

[Edible]

Puzzle & Dragons is an ios/android puzzle RPG.  It plays like a cross between Bejeweled and Pok?mon.  It's completely free to play, but has premium features through purchasable "magic stones," the game's premium currency (which can also be obtained frequently as rewards in-game), which allow for increased inventory, pulls from a rare egg machine, and more.  If you're patient enough the game gives you enough stones through special events and rewards that you shouldn't need to buy any.  (It's recommended you don't because then you will be a whale and will be devoured by the Japanese.)

You can control monsters from lowly slimes to even lowlier dragons to even gods like Reine (above).  They all have different stats and skills, allowing you to customize your team for any number of purposes.

If you're interested, there's a really useful database of monsters and game info here:

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/

A tip for new players: At the end of the tutorial the game will give you one free pull on the rare egg machine.  It's best to "scum" this pull and start over (by uninstalling and reinstalling) until you get something that's really rare (a God).  Great starters include any of the Chinese Gods, Ares, Bastet, Isis, Idunn & Idunna, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Odin, Kali, Shiva, Sonia, and many others.  Feel free to ask!

If you need more help or just want to discuss the game, we also have a P&D channel on the MoTK IRC network in here. Just type your name and go.
For those using IRC clients other than webchat, the channel is #puzzleandlibrarians on irc.ppirc.net.

Star Vault Didn't Go So Well: I Was Nonplussed

Did you know the number dragons are really bad at Oregon Trail? They keep trying to Defoud the rivers.

Idunna either.  Sigh... Anubis would happen.  It Sonia joke.

I've never Meta a larger bunch of jokers.  Kraken me up over here.
These puns are pterrable.

I'm not pulling my heraut over it, I just think the first one should be better plessieved. Zeusee?

You come up with some betel geukes, then.

[Suikama]

Oh yeah if anyone on my friends list wants free pal points, put up your luci cause I'll be farming Blue masks all day for dat skill up change tomorrow

_{pun train stops here :V}

I did the same thing yesterday for gold keeper.  I have something like 8 saved up now, which means I'll probably get exactly zero apoc skillups.

I'm assuming he needs to be awawkened, right? There's no way for you to use Perseus, right?

[commandercool]

Jesus, alt dungeon Dublits are horrifying. I just failed to crack one with three two-prongs. Fortunately I had GZL's active for backup, but that was scary. They always seem to spawn on two turn timers too. That's just unfair.

Welcome to the single biggest reason as to why this rotation is probably the worst.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I just got wrecked by a dub-amelit, myself, on a 2cd timer. Nothing worked and I didn't have any fire orbs for that ONE HP it had left.

Also, a reminder that you shouldn't feed into the alt skillups just yet-- wait for skillup x2. D: (And then I'll be farming trifruits as hard as I can tomorrow to get blue AND red fruits)

ALSO

So I wanted to see if I still was any good at Kirin and see if her damage still holds a candle to my Athena team (it doesn't), but then:



bless kirin gravities

[Edible]

If you want omega hyper kirin damage, go phys kirin with a king bubblie for maximum lol.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I used to. Then I realized that the standard for normal damage was hampered by Bubblie sucking at everything but its active skill, and decided to roll mono-light instead. Up until recently, I ran TAMApurin instead of Izanagi.

Internally crying.

You know the best way to not get wrecked by Alt Dub-lits?
Stack enough HP to survive.
like with Beelzebub

[Jq1790]

So I think I might be starting to use Perseus as a lead instead of only as a sub now after messing around with him a bit.

Thanks to some advice from hyorinryu I've got a pretty good idea of what I wanna make it look like when I can, so it should be interesting seeing how it goes.  Got quite the bit of work ahead of me though for it...

[Edible]

I don't know why I can't s-rank starling, this is not a particularly difficult dungeon.

But I keep either screwing myself partway through the dungeon or I hit a-rank instead.

Sort of like me with my tryin to clear it.  I keep slipping or messing up a combo/row/etc.  Just gotta keep going for it, y'know?  Fight!

[Chaore]

I shamefully failed to properly unleash the mei the first time i tried. :ohdear:

It happens.

Yea, I forwent Shynee in my G/L bastet back then the moment I pulled a izanagi. King Slimes' poor stats just aren't worth the 3x active.

!!!
Infinite Spreadca-....

Stack enough HP to survive.

...oh.

[OverlordChirei]

The actual best way to beat alt dublits is to not get hit. True story.

Bad puns AND doubleposting?  Banned.

[commandercool]

Oh hey, a guerrilla 2x skillup event. Now I can get rid of those seven Athenas I collected Monday.

0/7

Fucking christ. It's not even that I get especially terrible numbers for my skillup projects, I usually come in at or even slightly below 1/5. It's just that I never, ever get anything out of the first ten. It's like my guys start with negative ten feeds and I have to dig them out of the hole before I can start. I shouldn't complain, it always works out okay in the end, but man... Demoralizing.

On a more positive (?) note, I've been consistently bombarded by Dub-Amelits in Aither Desert but I've managed to take them all out and they all dropped, so this is an okay source of them weirdly as long as this keeps up. No Pii sightings, no +eggs, not even any Pengrda drops any more (zero in the last six runs, anyway), but I guess I'll take this. Although I haven't had an Athena come online in half an hour, so my run might be cut short which is not great because I don't want to buy Aither Desert again. Skillups for Kali would be great, but I don't want to have to deal with the fire guys resisting my wood guys any more than I have to.

You're just droidragon this thread through the mud now; let's get it singing a different neptune. :V

I went to bed hoping the puns would clear up when I awoke but it looks you guys are dedicated to making this the most sigh worthy thread of all.
