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 occasionally as rewards in-game), which allow 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 you are almost guaranteed to be super frustrated at getting screwed by bad rolls ;_;)

You can control monsters from lowly slimes to mighty dragons to even gods like Lu Bu (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, like a 5-star beastie or a god.  Great starters include any of the Chinese Gods, Ares, Bastet (<3), Horus, Isis, Idunn & Idunna, Hermes, Archangel Lucifer, Odin, Loki, Persephone, Parvati, and many others.  Feel free to ask!

Important Notice: In JP baby tama has been patched to only bind leaders 90% of the time.

So...If you stall there, you end up with 30+ bound leaders.

Yeah. Unknown if this is in twinlits, but it is definitely in Trifruits and it is awful.

I recently needed a few Dubruby and Dubmyths.  Two weeks I didn't find a single one from normal or Friday. And then just last week I have somehow amassed 8 of them and I don't have anything to use them on.  And you just know if you fodder them off there'll be a great drought again.

I heard they might do multiple stat-typing, like healer/physical, which wouldn't really make sense. Admittedly it would make more sense than calling Lu Bu a god.

While I got 9000 points from my combo ability, 0 points from turns taken, and 135000 from team rarity.

TAMADRApurin, Verche, Big Baddie, yellow garbage, yellow garbage, and TAMADRApurin did the job.

1-stone my first attempt at Hera-Ur. (Didn't drop Minerva as fast as planned and couldn't quite keep up with healing after Barrage Bomb.) Only Legend but I got the main attraction drop. :3 Some more stats and maybe changing up my more flexible slots some and I could probably handle it consistently.

Also Isis is on a roll lately in terms of power gain, Her active is now baller as fuck, she's gotten her skillups again, she has a great alternative leader...

And they just made trifruits kinda heavily favor bind-proof leaders. Yeah. :v

P.S. News from JP twinlits: That baby tamadra does not do the same thing as trifruits tama.

So current methods DO still work.

Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: The Greatest Dog on March 21, 2014, 03:05:46 PM
From what I understand, the TAMADRA only targets leaders in trifruits, so if you stall too hard the leaders end up bound for 30 turns or something.

Judging from this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9GcteHwBdA) it could still work at max skill levels, though really only in tricolor.

For those with more money than sense, this also means that Badtz-Maru/Mastering/Mastering/Mastering/Mastering/Badtz-Maru is a viable Takeminakata team. :V

Also I tried twinlits for laughs and wow fuck that first floor that is AWFUL

Also fuck shrine of spirits in general-- all I need are fucking sapphlits and Dub-Mythlits. I've run both dungeons about 5 times each AND HAVE NOT GOT A SINGLE ONE OF EITHER YET

What, NOW the game wants to give me Amelits now that I no longer need them to skill up Vamp, who I maxed out today? God damn.

EDIT: Make that six. Fucking hell.

According to Edible, Yes.

Legitimacy of the claims though, under review. >> I could used a dubmyth anyway, No skin off my back losing some possible kings.

Also yeah twinlits floor 1 is hell. You basically have to kill everything except don't do that because the next floor is worse so you need skills.

Bind immunity trivialises it though. Now if only I wasn't too stubborn to give odin some damn tama.

Post by: Suikama on March 22, 2014, 12:25:46 AM
I haven't run twinlits enough times yet to really say this for certain, but Isis seems to be the perfect leader for running it. You don't have a chance of being orb screwed like Zeus because you're rainbow. You also don't care about binds and can easily kill the tamadra without risking messing up your board with bind clears + poison. And only have to charge for a few small number of turns with skill boosts.

and then as soon as i say that i lose by getting a 12 combo skyfall on stage 1 rofl

omg this Isis I paired up with isn't fully awakened goddammit man

shit this time i didn't do enough damage to the final boss bleh maybe i should stick with Bastet Isis

tried again, beat it but I actually got a huge skyfall and still barely killed the devilit. stage 1 i actually killed by accident after 3 turns but i had so many skill boosts that i had actives up before the dublits could attack :V

oh shit i forgot my tengu is only level 10 no wonder it barely hits for anything :V

Post by: Ghaleon on March 22, 2014, 02:01:21 AM
Think I could tackle twinlits with Kirin?

Just saw this, lol no, not unless you use kirin and something else as a team leader... but even then it's risky as fuu since kirin needs 4 orb colours...I have bad enough luck getting enough lights or whatever when I try haku instead.

But double kirin no because if you do the bare minimum 4 colour combo, you'll probably curbstomp the first floor on the first turn, and if you don't do it on one turn, you're bound and dead unless you're one of those cheating freaks on youtube who somehow have all the trash attack in 2 turns instead of 1... every time I try it absolutely all of them except MAYBE 1 attack in 1.. what gives.

And their cute-o-meter isn't even effing close to particularly cute characters like lakshmi, suzaku, dark ceres, etc (who all also have better stats).

clearly you don't do row enhances much? Because orb changes are the bread and butter of that shit.

And their cute-o-meter isn't even effing close to particularly cute characters like lakshmi, suzaku, dark ceres, etc (who all also have better stats).

why are you comparing the stats of non-gods to gods and acting like you're making a point with it
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Ghaleon on March 22, 2014, 03:41:44 AM
As "good for a healer" as her stats are, valkyrie's are better, who does not require 5 magic stones to obtain, and has a sub element.

Row enhancing, as mentioned, is only good if you can stack a whole bunch, and I cannot, and even if I could, my only burst leader is haku, who requires at least 3 colours to do her thing, in which case even if I could get 4+ row enhances, that will only power up 1/3 of the elements I'm forced to use in my team.

comparing gods to non-gods? I compare her to gods because I cannot get em without rolling one less time for a godfest. Furthermore, you're newer so you (hopefully) have lower rank, which means lower teamsize, which means the only downside to being a god over non-god is teamcost...Currently my only limitation to teamsize is # of 60 cost descend monsters to # of god ratio (unless creature is so useful despite not being a god that I must have anyway like ecchinida..and...uhh...ecchinida).

I'll just drop it if you want to be patronizing about this though. I have my reasons.

But if it makes you feel better, no I haven't memorized the names of every single character that I apologized in advance for not memorizing.. HOW DARE ME.

I said I ignore them.. not that you should, or everyone should.

So yeah, I'm re-reading everything....
Quote
oh, I ignore healer girls cuz I just don't see how they're useful.

Regardless of what I just said, I can see how that would look patronizing. I didn't mean it that way beyond "how they're useful for me"... Sorry.

Honestly, I'll normally be the first guy who "takes descends for granted" who will appreciate stuff for low cost, and obtainable mediums, etc...I've said it plenty of times in these threads... dont make me link em though cuz too many effing posts too often! On example that comes to mind though is way back I was saying minerva is a pile of dung, and said how she's worse in every way to odin, but cannot be obtained easier since they're both gods.. and then edible said odin as a godfest only god only gets 1x instead of 3x.. but more importantly (to me), her cost is way lower... this sold me instantly and tbh, to this day, I look at her in a whole new light (I want her... particularly for valkytty which I'll prob never get).

But yeah, Sorry....I still think you were patronizing too though =P.

Well, people have taken sticker girl teams and 0-stoned Zeus with them, or so I heard. Also, Just because it only powers up one color, doesn't mean it's 1/3 of your team. Between Duke/Joker and Echidna, everything's covered, so you can do whatever you want after that if you want row enhances.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Ghaleon on March 22, 2014, 04:21:57 AM
well, the lead will have to be haku sinc ethat's what I mentioned, and the sub is pretty much limited to haku or isis which is all I have that's haku compatible for whatever that is threatening to me. stuff like zeus would require a manditory 4th element which isn't ideal...tamdra and whatever else with a drawback may be useable but atm I can't think of a situation where their drawback isn't unacceptable over their burst potential over simply another haku.

don't count kaku's new row attack, it's brand effing new, and we haven't gotten healer girls since then...

That basically leaves me with 2 subs only to get at least 4 row attacks, at which point it merely breaks even...which...is my point.

edit: btw oarfish can you please host your op zeus if and when you get the chance if you're on within 2hours ploz? I can waste 50 stam one more time and then qq about twinlits one more time before tomorrow!

CASTLE OF SATAN BEAT

Which means that the game has now become hard mode and I've unlocked Technical Dungeons and now everything is gonna kick my ass hahahahahaha isn't this fun.

Anyway, I heard that there's a better way to levelling up your monsters once you get through the castle of Satan, I'll assume pengdras?

tbh I didn't think the first round of technicals was any harder, so hopefully you can do em.
 But yeah, pengdra's are the best way to level creatures aside from random special dungeons that may or may not come. Level the pengdra to 10 (takes about 2700 exp I believe), which alone is better than anything else you can farm regularly, and then ideally, evolve it with 2 metal dragons of the same colour (Except black or gold, which don't count anyway since they don't have their own technical dungeons) + 1 dragon plant. After you do so they are worth iirc half a metal dragon king

Honestly raw dungeon drops are fine until lvl 30 and unevolved pengdras are perfectly fine if you don't want to kill yourself farming the right materials and then using all your box space.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Suikama on March 22, 2014, 05:35:53 AM
You don't even have to evolve them. Level 10 pengdra unevolved still give a fair amount of exp.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Jq1790 on March 22, 2014, 05:48:16 AM
Lv. 10 unevo'd Pengdras provide 6,000 Exp, or 9,000 for on-element fusion.

Evo'd Pengdras provide 30,000 Exp, or 45,000 for on-element fusion.

Despite how huge the boost is when evolved, though, it's MUCH easier just getting 5 normal ones and using them instead of trying to evolve one, unless the corresponding jewel urgent dungeon is active at the time or will be soon after the Pengdra hunt.  More expensive coin-wise, of course, but worlds easier.

the real pain is getting dragon plants. at least metal dragon dungeons are guaranteed drops and have a chance of giving you highs, kings, and TAMADRA. the thursday dungeon just gives out shattered dreams and green carbuncles.

I've gone from basically nowhere to isis and odin 2 steps from max, Luci at 10 from max.

My complete advice for anyone skill upping, save 5 bosses and feed to the boss you're keeping. Only feed actual skill ups if a skill up occurs on the boss.

It's worked wonders for me so far. Like, seriously.

If that's indecipherable sorry lemme know and I'll  mess with it, a bit floaty headed atm.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on March 23, 2014, 02:56:43 AM
Yeah that went over my head. What do you mean? Because I haven't got a single skillup yet (to be fair, I have been focusing on other skillups, like Vamp/Angelion/Megalodran, so)

okay try two super easy

step 1. Save five trash things that skill something you have up (in this case, the boss)

step 2. Feeding trash skill ups to thing you have.

step 3. If there is no skill up, wait a few hours and go back to step 1.

step 4. If there is a skill up on the thing you're feeding atm, party and feed all actually important skill ups, enjoy skill ups!

Though if you're just like, poking at the dungeon this probably won't help that much >>

New dungeon oh boy (http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/mission.asp?m=681)

100k defense dragons and 300k hp pengdras in the stage and 0 rcv orbs means stalling isn't an option. Floor 6 can be killed with poison but you need a 5 turn poison with skill boosts. Lilith poison is 10 turns max skilled and 5 turns with 5 skill boosts, so something like Echidna, Lilith, Tengu, BOdin/Stone dragon would work for any Egyptian team.

Also tamarodin looks kinda useful actually but unfortunately it's not an attacker

Post by: Suikama on March 24, 2014, 12:35:47 AM
yes

funny thing is it's the hardest thing to get in the dungeon :derp:


the dragons themselves are interesting since they're REM tier with x4 leader attack and row awakenings but they have no subtype, a sorta useless active, and 0 RCV. They aren't optimal compared to Heroes but they could be good for non-iap to get in on the row awakening action.

Well then again they're very similar to the HxH collab leaders and Japan just loves those guys so maybe they have a really good team. I'm sure there's a lot you can do with x4 fire/water damage.

Meanwhile light att screwed again lol

I totally know my future team for that twin dragon dungeon. Totally.
Dual Satan leads (that I'll need to get...), I can use the two RSonias that I have, a maxed skilled Tenth Angel, and something utility or other on the last slot.
I'd only need to stall one turn for Tenth Angel for the Rodin Tamadra, or I can eat the hit because Satans. All I would need is a reliable source of orbs...

Vamp is good orbchanger for Satan because you don't use the heart orbs.

Hm. In other news, fully awoken Bodin and Tengu. What was the team that used those? Physical Kirin?
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on March 24, 2014, 05:57:55 AM
Bodin himself can be a good leader. Dig up the video Suikama posted a week or so ago.

But I guess Physical Kirin would be the ideal-- though, I feel he'd go great on a Sieg team too.

there are no heart orbs for Vampire in that dungeon. lol oops

Oh, right. In that case, FA Luci, if you can get one. Active skill probably won't be too useful (does it work if there are no light enemies on the screen?), but he has two row enhances and two skill boosts.

EDIT: I don't suppose King Baddie would be viable, on that note?

Finally picking up PAD after giving it a rest for a while.  I can only play Expert in Ardbegs dungeon, but I'm finding it to be quite lucrative indeed.  I can work on leveling my Echidna(also on skilling her up!  I actually got a Naga from stage 9.), AND try to finish skilling up my Hellfire Pyro Demon(if I'm not mistaken, I still have 3 skillups on it to do since its CD is sitting at 18.)

Also thanks again Edible for your amazingly helpful Bastet, without whom none of this would be possible.  Her active even saved me during a scary part in one of the waves and made the miniboss wave a triviality.

Well to be fair, it's more like you were gifted it indirectly, yes?

I need to spend more stones on capacity myself...

Also, ran Ardbeg's Expert version again, scored a Tyran!  Now I just need to level and evo it and I finally have a possible fire leader!  This run was aided by a certain angle-girl's big burly Ares of death, and it was amazing.  No Moltdras or Naga this run though which made me sad, but I ranked up for 2 more teamsize so it's not a total bust.

So many things I want to do, and so little stamina to do them all...  I want to move on in Normals to inch closer to Ocean of Heaven for Mystic Masks, but also there's the Ardbeg dungeon(wonder if I could take Master...?  Pretty sure not, but still.) and I need to try to focus on only a couple of monsters to level or NOBODY will make much progress...Agh, so much I wanna get done!  Getting to Mystic Mask country should probably be my main goal though since much of my progress will be halted til I can get them since so many of my evos need them.

Oh, it's not that my friends don't have anything I can use-actually quote a few do, including yourself.  I meant my list to pick friends when I'm entering  a dungeon is devoid of friends at all.  This is probably due to mosy of you all bring like Rank 150-200 and up, but still.  They'll show up eventually so I won't worry.  Maybe I'll do some Challenge dungeons or something until they refresh.

Turns out my problem was actually fixed by force quitting the app and reopening it, so all's well.  One of the explorers popping up for me has the D/L Anubis...Geez that thing got a nice set of awakenings...  Double bind resist, orb movement, AND auto-heal?  Definitely gonna have to try to friend that one, if only for tricolor dungeons like the resident whiskey dragon.  With that thing I could probably tackle Master without much issue simply through running it over with outrageous daamge multipliers. If I get my DMeta team going(I have the tricolor demons plus the light one and the leaders for if Ardbeg decides to zap the water orbs)...32-40x damage sounds awfully delicious, especially if I get a line of red orbs since my Pyro has the row enhance awakening.

Edit: Their list was full.  Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Flame Chaser is my go to low coster. I have a max skilled king bubblie so it works out well. Hrungnir himself will be a pain though since he start out water type so I'll need to beat him down to half HP before I can burst him. He deals 10k every 3 turns (every other attack) which wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the fact that Flame Chaser and it's subs have like 0 RCV. Japanese teams seem to use Flame golem to resist the 10k hits so you only need to heal 5k but I kinda feed away all of mine >_> I might stone it just for the clear.


Green chaser might work as long has you have enough HP to tank hits since you have plenty of time to recover. Might be hard to hit 12k HP with a low cost balanced team for melody.

You get 6 turns to take out 300k HP which shouldn't be too hard

Oh wait you're running mono green uhhh

well if you run master you can survive it's attacks with leek active :V and you dont really need them for Hrungnir himself since he'll only be doing 5k every 3 turns.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I think I would prefer a blue chaser friend if I could find one though.

EDIT: I just realized I have a blue chaser. I might go with him instead. The main issue that arises with the blue chaser is that if I don't oneshot Hrungnir, he turns green.

Let's see what I have to play with:

Blue Chaser
King Bubbles
Blue/Red Ogre
mostly likely keeping those, and the last two can be:


Berserk
Solomon Grundy
Kitty WoodBubblie
Angry Bird
Super Leek


I also wonder if dual Bubblies is an option.

I have Asuka so you can run a 2/6.25/2 attacker team with them :V

Freyr is an obvious pick. Dino or Beast Rider are good for heartbreaking if you have them. So is JoJoAres. ROdin is crazy good if you can get him.
Other viable subs are Phoenix( good RCV), Ulti Red Ripper, Flare Drall (also good RCV), King Flamie, and Red Samurai Goblin.
Also Echidna cause she's always good and synergizes with Freyr.

FWIW do also note that while they can ultimate into any color pair they all have two row enhance awakening of their main color and they also all have a secondary type in their trifruit evolutions (the same-color sub element ones; the light one gets its God type as soon as it's normally evo'd though instead of needing the trifruit ulti).

Just in case those affect your decision any.

Oh, the row enhances are what was appealing to me since I know if I stack those up I can pull off some nice numbers.  I'd probably stick to the dual-attribute versions since I won't be able to handle Trifruits for a LONG time yet.

Sandalphon

2645/1207/615, God type, Healer sub type
S: 2x ATK for healer team for 2 turns and damage reduction(max CD at 15 turns)
SL: 1.5x HP, 2.5x ATK for healer type

Finally an interesting descend god and a possible buff to Healer teams. 2x atk over 2 turns is roughly equivalent to 3x + 1x atk (with the difference being that you'll have to spread out your orb changers, but that does work with double valk teams) and also he has good awakenings which makes him a great King Shynee replacement. With Venus, Princess Valkitty > Echidna, and Sandy > King Shynee that's 3 row awakenings. 4 with the new Unicorn.

Now if only Light Meta actually had row awakenings like Dmeta >_>

So even if I'm not getting to skill up Ardbeg, running the dungeon on Expert seems to be quite effective for me in terms of getting things leveled. Should probably put a checklist of what I need here, just so I can refer back to it:

Code: [Select]
  Keeper of Rainbow x2
+ Mystic Mask x2
+ moltdras for levels
+ things I already have
-------------------------------------
  Awoken Hera-Ur
+ Goemon, the Thief
+ Warrior Rose, Graceful Valkyrie

I've got Great Valkyrie maxed already and am working on levels for the other two, so I should probably focus more on evo mats now. Time to get busy!

Mythical Take isn't that much harder if you get crazy skyfalls and pair with a Kushi or Anubis


Also you get 1 use for each friend, but it recharges as soon as they do something. So if you're both online at the same time they will be constantly up.

well at least you only have to pass 8 with D/L anubis :derp:

also you can think of it this way. Either you spend 4 stones and who else how many more for a chance at take on legend, or you spend a few more like maybe 6-7 stones for a guaranteed take drop.

I only have 3 left and don't feel like spending more right now. (I already bought a 6pack when I did the first round, so.) I think I'll take my chances one more time and call it a loss if it doesn't work this time around, and build up my team so it's actually capable of no-stoning it next time. My team is actually pretty underleveled, so.  (And furthermore I don't have a D/L Anubis friend unless you've got one)

Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on March 26, 2014, 11:38:25 PM
Not gonna be a trophy, actually. I'm gonna be working on this team here (http://www.puzzleanddragonsforum.com/showthread.php?tid=21267&pid=186230#pid186230), in fact. (Or the Goemon team, but that's riskier and ehhhh.) Especially since I have pretty much everything necessary for it and Takeminakata's getting a huge buff soon in that his LS will trigger as long as HP is less than 99%. Which is gonna be really, really neat.

As much as I adore my DMeta and league of Attackers, it comes at the price of being immensely squishy. With a Takeminakata Physical team, I'm going to be extra bulky instead. And honestly, a bulky team capable of super overkill sounds fun to me.

She mains a Light Physical tamapurin team so having Take would be a good sub and not just a trophy

Leader actually! Tama will be the sub instead. Since Take's getting a buff I may as well make him the leader and reap the benefits of not having wrecked RCV.

And actually I main a DMeta attacker team but as I said, that's super squishy and doesn't play nicely with heavy hitters. >_o

so i think you need a good combo score too? unno, haven't bothered with scoring
If you have one 7 star leader, one 6 star friend leader and four 1 star then that's already 200k points by default. If you have two 7 star leaders and four 1 star mobs then you get like 180k points and the other 20k points can be made up by beating the stage in 15ish turns which shouldn't be too hard.

The main issue is hoping the two breakers aren't synced, cause it's unlikely you'll be able to break 14k HP with just your two leaders unless you're running Satan or something.

Against the Divinegon I either one shot it or end up not killing it entirely and he binds half my team. On one hand, I kinda wish my TAMADRApurin wasn't bind immune so I could regain my recovery if I stalled it out, but then if I chip it out I get gibbed by the demons...

I'm running:
TAMADRApurin (no awakenings)
King Bubblie (good for Take-stompin')
Ulti Siegfried (water and lots of it)
Gigas (pretty much HP stat stick)
Regulus (also stat stick and complements TAMApurins)
TAMADRApurin (Fast Fanatic's maxed out one)

Post by: The Greatest Dog on March 27, 2014, 12:23:43 AM
I give up
I went for Mythical, tossed a stone at Divinegon and Kano because ow what the hell damage.
TAMADRApurin leaders, Regulus, and Sakuya all had the same cooldown so I just needed 12 turns total before nuking. Siren and Valkyrie were used to make the board pretty much mono-enhanced-light.

No regrets, Regulus hit for 1.4 million damage. I'm not worried about skilling Takeminakata up because TAMADRApurin still needs 15 turns anyways. And I'm not interested in a King Bubblie yet.

Evolving is work. Besides, I can't even do hera and 2 Heroes took 3 stones to d-

Actually I did try Gold Keeper. I died on the first floor. :(

I don't like playing Kirin on my JP account though. I do enough of that on my main. JP server is Meimei land. Idk if she'll have to share with Kirinbros though. I doubt it since they're too much like Kirin.

Attempt 5, 2-stoned.

STILL nothing.

I'll give it one more shot and I'll consider myself fed up. I've come this far, after all.

EDIT: ATTEMPT 6 VICTORY

1-STONED WITH SUIKAMA'S ISIS AND THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I FUCKED UP AT THE VERY START WITH THE TRASH MOBS

IT ONLY TOOK ME 10+ STONES TODAY BUT IT IS DONE AND I AM NOT DOING IT AGAIN

man I'm mad really. I never wanted to spend this many stones on this because it's pretty clear I was more than capable of handling the dungeon but due to shitty luck...

Still less attempts than it took me to get Takeminakata... which I still wouldn't have if not for Mythical.
I was gonna ask, how much stamina did you burn in this today?
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on March 27, 2014, 03:46:37 AM
Well, 6 attempts = 300 stamina, so that much >_o

Roughly 12 stones, I think. I never had a round that I had to do more than 2-stone. Which I feel is pretty reasonable for a descend with an underpowered team, but having to do it so many times...
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: The Greatest Dog on March 27, 2014, 03:58:05 AM
Aye, that sucks. I burnt through seven stones today on stamina and derping through Mythical, but now that I've done it I realized I'm not even in that much -need- for him. With the buff he'll be really solid, but it's another light monster I have to feed when I already have to distribute light exp to Valkyrie and Regulus.

If I hadn't invested so thoroughly in TAMADRApurin I probably would have given Takeminakata that experience, though.

Post by: hyorinryu on March 27, 2014, 04:05:04 AM
I remember when I did that. I burnt 9 stones on Two Heroes last summer, and got Highlander when I wanted Berserk. I ended up getting Berserk next run, I ended up spending about 3 stones on it. Was totally worth though. Two weeks of Poring happened a couple of weeks later.

I tried it once.  I think I died on the Vampire Knight wave because all three were synced and I had some kind of crappy team set up for it.  I believe I stoned to get that far, too, and only stopped because I either ran out or realized it was entirely hopeless.

Wonder what the others will look like. Even more interesting, since they have two, will one have a different sub element. They should troll and give her a blue or black sub. It'll be funny.

LMetatron and dinky carbuncles plus a Valk buddy also was ez mode for a tamadra.  Got a little dicey since the Valk was unskilled and I wanted to stall for boss nuke but I didn't even try to go fancy on making combos since the team alone qualified who cares about score past that :toot:

Suzaku honey you gotta wear some clothes  :ohdear:  I hope one of them is healer subtype because oh man oh man.  Wait no, cause that one would be R/L and then of course ~twnlits~ fuck that noise I'll never beat it without evolutions that need them  :(

On the bright side, it doesn't attack you until you attack it and it doesn't put up a sheild like the other fruits do.

No because then you don't have any fire attributes

It's still possible but you'd be forced to match Light, Green, Water, Hearts for x4 damage making her essentially a worse Kirin

You don't really need a dark sub though since there's no bonus for 5 atts plus her leader ability kills dark anyways.

It kills fires too but you get way more board variants to activate x4 on for the stage by having one more color available.

A note: the moment you click the REM/PAL machine buttons and confirm is when your stones/points are spent AND when your monster(s) are deposited in your box.  Thus, as soon as you see the cost paid you're pretty safe I think.  I found out cuz once I tried to cancel a REM roll by ending the app before I pulled but found out it was too late.  (I think I got stuck with a Green Guardian that way...Considering keeping it to evo into Asgard but I'm not sure.  it'd be really low priority if I did though.)

Like getting bound in older patches.

Or today, baby tamadra bound my only fire monster. Popped both Isis heals but the bind was 3 turns and that only heals 2 right now so I died.

Speaking of which tri fruits is still ughh

I should seriously consider trying a different team since I have pretty much every descend monster now but Isissssss

argh.. I 1 stoned trifruits.. I should have 0 stoned it but on the baby tam wave, I spent the first turn using an aoe attack, got the fruit/flower down to like 20% hp left, and the tam was still at like 80%.. So then the next turn I try to precision nuke them single target with a 5 orb combo, skyfall skyfall skyfall.. 15 orb combo.. so like I 1shot the plant and fruit with like my hera-ur lead and her sub-element, and the rest of my team nails the baby tam down to like 20% or something.

Now I'm stuck with like 20 turns left of delays to chew thru before boss, 20 if gravity, like 8 otherwise or something I forget the exact #s.

So I'm struggling to match orbs without damanging the baby, do a couple goofs here and there of minor colours like light, and fire (after my leads were bound). But then just after the stupid baby binds my king baddie and persephone for 3 and 5 turns each, I skyfall 3 red orbs and blast it to death.. now I start the boss with both my persephone and my king baddy bound.. yeaaahh.. so I died horribly and used a stone then 1shot the boss.

eff. Of all the waves that owned me, it was the effing baby tamdra.

You don't have to match to clear binds. In fact people will just switch random crap when they're at the tama. Manual change the world they call it.

I wasn't matching to clear binds, I was matching to charge up my activated abilities.

I wasn't sure if king baddie + persy + hera ur would be enough to 1shot ko all of them at full health, so I wanted gravities too.. even then I still have to clear orbs to get baddie/persy charged too (just so happened I was done doing that when I killed it).

Which leads me to ask, what exactly would I need to deal with a Keeper of the Rainbow? I'll end up needing one for Horus and my Tyrannos, eventually, and they're up next once I finish my Volcano Dragon and my Echidna.

Sooooo... Ghaleon, how do you those Leilan ults? *pictures*

Ok so you did!... sorry? Seriously... not only am I sure I read every post in this current thread, but I even backtracked when matty said "these new gods so op".. because I was like "what new gods?" *backtracks*. I don't see any new gods? (looks at wiki, nothing, looks at facebook, nothing, looks at pdx, nothing? da foo? *lookslookslookslookslooks... finds suzaku image*)..

Maybe my phone decided that it coudln't display the pic and not tell me or something, I dunno.. But anyway thanks!

what I think...

Chaore is right, their face is kinda effed up. I mean overall both of their art is great, and if it wasn't suzaku to begin with I'd be like MUST GET for both, but suzaku is heart-shaped sunglasses for me and I can't help but see HER FACE!! WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER FACE?!? (the one with twintails even more so since the butchery isn't half-covered I guess).

That said, I think I'm happy rather than upset, because other than the face I think they look great, and faces are kinda what fan-artists fail to replicate the most. Even if the faces were amazing, the fan art would look different..

I'll still bish and complain if fan-artists completely neglect her compared to haku, kirin, and karen (that's blue right? I forget) though.

Maybe they'll make mei-mei look like she's not high on opium.

-Mono-dark
-Mono-wood(have My Melody and Melon Dragon, if they'd be good, in addition to Freyja and Fortoytops)
-Mono-fire(recently got Tyran so I finally have a leader)
-Mono-light(Have Apollo for a possible leader if he's good for it.)

-MAYBE mono-water, but no orb changers for it.  Typically lead with evo'd Undine and have Hellice Frost Demon and Icedragon Plesios who I will likely make the leader once ult'd)

My other teams are pretty much typelocked(RSonia and DMeta), so I don't know if the dragons will fit in at all but if so, please let me know how!

F/F Ifrit is a devil type, and D/D Tiamat is an attacker. They're kinda subpar subs but their awakenings make them pretty usable for RSonia/Dmeta. So they will actually fit!

Hahaha, if I could DO those dungeons I'd need, perhaps(they require Trifruits and/or Twinlits, right?).  Sadly I'm gonna be limited for a LONG time to the offcolor evos that just require dublits and normal dragon fruits.

Trifruits.

Also fairly true. Ronia doesn't have too bad a time with trifruits (Which they need) atm though.

Later trifruits just becomes dumb though so)

But yeah now I get 2-3 runs per stone or around 1-2 twinlit clears per stone which isn't too bad

Actually I'm getting more consistent with stage 1 but now I keep fucking up the baby tamadra stall bleh


Hmm now that my box is empty of twinlits and I just need 2 angelit for lewd lilith, I think I might just go with classy lilith for now and come back to twinlits later

They actually have pretty good leader skills, to be honest.  I mean, look at Noir.  I'm sure you've seen that its leader skill matches that of Archangel Lucifer and his normal evo, yes?  With its small damage smallish cooldown active, it works just like a Luci with smaller stats all around.

1 stoned twinlits.. Made sure i didnt kill wave 1, and tried to stall with 2 mythits up, but they just deal too much damage to heal thru with my team's rcv. Thats like 9k damage a turn and a 7 chain with 3 hearts only heals like 5k.

I stoned that early though cuz i managed to stall quite a bit already before croaking and knew i could just smoke one with some water orbs or something. Which i did.

Last mythit died shortly after ia skyfall but i had already stalled over 10 turns and just ecchi'd wave 2, and 3.
Tamdra also died at a bad time. I was actually fully charged with my zeus even and was working on killing the tamdra without wastin my good orbs saved for the boss. But i derped and matched 3 dark at the top when i simply tried to match 0 to kill bind timer, and started the fight with one of my ecchi's bound for 5 turns. Fortunately i killed both twinlits before i needed my 2nd ecchi to use after the "you kill my twin, i now hit 3x harder" buff that i wouldnt be able to use cuz bind.

Got a devlit, 2 more to go before super hera (dont diss her k, i find devil teams own for trifruits, and its not like ill ever have too little health there since everything 1hko's you)

The light drain is not the main problem because you'll be skill bound at the same time. So regardless you'll need a way to be able to stall on her.

You can use double resist to clear legend

The main problem though is you need luck to have the right resist for the boss, but if you specifically want one (like the dark one) then you can just bring the resist for that one and just let yourself die if you get the other one

How will double resist help me through the stage though, I wonder... I mean, getting smacked with a Divinegon or Kagutsuchi of the wrong type would be rough >.<

Tsukuyomi wouldn't be too bad if I packed Luci with me, but I'd have to whittle him down to half HP for MS or something. And then I'd need to heal super fast to be ready for next round.

There's absolutely no point in healing after yomi. Either you get light kagu who heals you to full, or dark who slaps you to 1%.

Yeah they look good but not enough for me to put off chinese/jpn2.0, etc.

Unfortunately, I think the normal Chinese gods are just getting twinlits.

Suzaku's subtypes are both her spare colors- following that, Karin will get W/D and W/G- neither colors are inheritable from Golden Keeper.

On the other hand, they may just screw the tricolors and have Haku inherit GK's Fire element, so you can hope for that.

And I mean, bursting the last one down is also a no-go 'cause I need to stack 296400 Fire Damage total which is like NOPE even with some good preparation.

Yeah, I know...It's still really painful to think about though since I'm so far behind the ability/monster collection needed to even consider Legend dungeons, much less Mythical ones like the two Evo Material Mythicals.

re: Fast Fanatic
I sent a Friend Request, so you know.  didn't know if my (non-Ultimate) fully-evo'd Echidna would help.  Alternatively, would a Hellwind Taur Demon be helpful to you at all?  I could put one of those up instead since it hits for weakness in the Ice Maze.

On the plus side, Yomi only requires one angelit (A very very rare grace for those) so evolving her might not be too bad.

Even if you're too far behind to consistently farm, you might be able to grit and grace for a lucky drop.

Well, once I rank up more and get the other farmble components to a basic PROPER RSonia team I can think about it, though right now I think my energy would best be spent on reachine Ocean of Heaven so I can start getting the Mystic Masks I need to evolve my various earlier-stage monsters.  Thanks for the encouragement though!

How can people love Kirin so much. The EVA collab was the most I ever played Kirin, and I almost to quit. I can do Kirin maybe once or twice a day. But farming with her is a pain.

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to take a break from the game though. Maybe I'll just play with Jewel dragons and supers. Maybe get rid of my obsession with collecting trophy dragons. Those pirates are annoying as hell. Why couldn't they be cool like the ancients.

So I got up to 2 rolls I'm willing to throw down to the dragon REM gods.  I've rolled just a Kaworu from the Eggvangelion and of the ~Godfest~ I have Ares, Yomi, Susano and Suzaku.  Is it worth rolling any rolls on either?  Misato or Asuka would be cool for monored, (and i cannot steal them from MJPs account  :ohdear:) and the godfest isn't lousy, but maybe I should save stones to throw at the Three Kingdoms healers.  Or that newfangled descend.  Or failing at Twinlits so many choices  :V 

Help me not make a poor life choice!

It's like Umi Yama, but instead of being able to orb change to green and blue, you just orb change to light, so that's 3 colors you have to take care of.

Yeah fixed at 4 specific colours is tedious to play for sure but its still great to have that nuke potential and good stats for content that pretty much is impossible for more accessable leader abilities.

That said just imagine ra. Ugh. Id rather go anubus. At least chaining big combos is fun. Hoping rng gives you the right orb colours after clearing off extras is not.

It's not like we have Valkyries, Bastets, Isis, Haku, Krakens, Anubis, and Amons altogether to skill up. :/
I would burn stones for stamina but my TAMADRApurin friends aren't even on yet.
That said, I've had incredible luck with Valkyrie skills. I've run the dungeon four times for the free stone and I have three skill ups already.

I don't even know what to do right now. I have about 25 unevolved potential Odin skillups and about 15 FALuci ones and I do quite want to skill them up but why do they require so much god damn

And while GungHo collab is cool and all I really don't need anything from it I guess, though getting some Amon skillups would be nice, I guess.

And getting blue whiskey dragon would be cool too but I have little use for it, I just wanna collect 'em

The much more appealing RO Ace collab is coming soon but I have NO IDEA how I'm gonna handle it. Getting a Hrungnir for my physical teams would be great, and skilling up Susanoo would be useful someday...

hmm.

The real reasons for running ancient blue dragon are blue moltdras and echidna skill-ups. All bundled with the fun of a tricolor dungeon that lets you cheese the boss with Droiddragon.

You're not the only one. I'm not doing it either. None teams I have in mind are leveled enough for it and Hrungir isn't holy crap amazing to the point where I would want to stone for him. You can always get Porings in the Gungho Collab btw.


I need levels for a lot of my teams though. I wish I didn't have to choose between nice actives(fortdragon, My Melody, ADKZ, CuChu) and nice awakenings(Fafnir, Mari.)

Right now, my subs are Dragonette, Mari, ADK, and CuChu. At least CuChu is leveled. Right now, I want to evolve Dragonette into Fafnir so I can get to skilling him.

Well now, both rolls were interesting, and neither was Dark, oddly enough.

>Siren(With this I have the entire Healergirl cycle in my inventory, which is cool, plus she'll make a great, easy to skill-up sub for my eventual Water team.)
>Viper Orochi(I feel like I should be happy about this, but I'm not sure if I really have much use for him right now.  I know he's used for zombie teams, so I guess I can use him for that.)

I SHOULD be able to squeeze out enough Challenge runs for one more pull, so here's hoping it's something useful to me.  (Heck, as much of a pain as it is to some to see Mystic Knights, I wouldn't mind an Ice one showing up since I'd get a much needed offensive orb changer for water then.)  Really hoping for something like Yomi or maybe one of the not-Kirin Chinese girls(Haku's my favorite tied with Karin, but I like most of them, and Kirin would just be too much trouble to try to use, though the mini-gravity would be nice.)

One of the other Godfest-only monsters would be pretty sweet too, though, like either Green or Red Odin.

Do you have anything you're trying to save the stones for?  If not, and you already have enough, you'll have to pull it eventually to get the fest-only things so you might as well get the pain over with now.

If you ARE saving for something else, just repeat that in your head as you instead go do dungeoneering like a good Arashi and keep your Magic Stones where they belong.  =D

A Luci would open up a lot more things as doable with Ama/Odin but otherwise nah I think I just have to work more on the shit I have, most of the other really important stuff I'm missing are from descends and not the REM. Wouldn't mind a couple of the fruit dragons but they're not likely to get a specific fest.

That's the plan! Honestly my plan was to make a Takeminakata-fueled Light/Fire team to begin with and this just adds to the fun. So now I'm thinking:

Takeminakata
TAMADRApurin OR King Bubblie
Gigas the Great
Goemon the Thief OR King Bubblie
Apollo
Takeminakata friend

King Bubblie replaces TAMADRApurin for dungeons where Goemon's active can be used, enhanced, and boosted. He'd replace Goemon in dungeons where Goemon wouldn't be useful.

I had that dream once. It was ruined by lack of orb conversions, sparsely distributed damage across four colors, and the potential of orb trolling by the rng.

If I still had that dream, I wouldn't be using a subpar TAMADRApurin.

I have all the parts for the regular god Kirin team though, and I really only wanted Kirin after I just happened to find an Izanagi and Apollo from REM pulls which weren't even in their godfest. Sure R/G/B orbs can still troll you but what can you do.

Maybe if I can find a good row leader in the future.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 01, 2014, 12:25:51 PM
Prepare yourself a good multicolor Physical team. With King Bubblie I daresay you'll have the easiest x75 in the game that doesn't require orb enhancements or lucky skyfall combos or the necessity to keep yourself at a stupid level of HP.

In fact you'll be quite durable because physical monsters can at least take a beating...
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Bio on April 01, 2014, 12:37:03 PM
The main draw of the REM physical Kirin is all the skill boosts which let you have that 75x with a minimal amount of stalling. You sacrifice sustained unresisted damage and good orb changing for this instant burst.

There isn't any real good green physical is there.
For documentation sake after this godfest:
Persephone, Hermes, Meimei, Karin, Leilan, Sakuya, Oku. Out of 13 rolls.

Quite satisfied because I literally am done with the Chinese and now can stockpile stones for Kingdoms and another jp1 and maybe some more friend slots.

Huh.  Feels really weird to be able to waltz right in and slaughter Keeper of Rainbow now, when the first time I fought him I think I stoned once just 'cause I got really close before dying.  I've run it twice today(2x drop rate is sweeeeet), got him both times and had no issues thanks to a couple Odins I've got in my list along with DMeta my first run and RSonia the second.  I swear, one of those two's gonna become my main team really quickly...Probably Sonia just because she's an unconditional stat boost, even if she IS only 2.5x.  Atk and Rcv both getting that kinda help are definitely nice, especially once I bother getting a King Metal Dragon to eventually make a King Baddie with.

...oh right, I'm supposed to be doing Challenge Mode dungeons so I can get more stones to possibly roll one more time before the GodFest ends.  (Though there're things that're outside of it that I'd like to run into as well, like Gryps or something, the chance at Yomi and perhaps Haku have me wanting to give it one more go while the 'fest is up.)

Haha, I'm still in the first category there, but still.  I think the first time I beat it I was running my Devil Dragon as my leader with a Lucifer for backup and my only real damage was from Morning Stars...(I actually died once because I forgot RK was only 2 turns from attacking again and couldn't get my HP back up in time)  Can't wait til my Dark team is strong enough to reliably go in there, well unless I skip that and go right to Sonia, that is.

Not even naga or echidna?

Floor 1: stall on poporing
Floor 2: use actives to kill asap
Floor 3: just kill with 5 matches
Floor 4: kill with combos
Floor 5: kill with actives

That's the theory anyways. You need Echidna to help with floor 2 and 5 though.

Also a different team:

Echidna

It's not especially leveled, but I actually HAVE a Gigas so when you switch it out you won't have to lose it entirely...I also have DDBats if you want a 1 turn delay to supplement whatever yo do go with.  I'd offer my own Echidna but she's already evo'd.

Message me ingame if any of that will help.

Debating who to evo, though...I won't do Bats today since someone here may still have use for him as a 4*, but beyond that I'm not sure.  Save it til Dark Dragon Knight is ready for evolution?  Use it on Freyja?  Decisions, decisions...  I wish Highlander was an option, but that jerk needs two.

Made my decision real easy when I saw my max level Vert in my box.  Should have waited til I fully leveled the second one, but I think gaining 66 levels is plenty impressive f my new Freyja, the Goddess of Gaia.  That alone made her into quite the specimen.  Wonder if that means my wood team just became viable...?

But yeah, with that team you just...need the stone tax. Which can get pretty steep to be completely honest- be ready for that. I got lucky with just 2 (both from chimera. Fuck chimera.)

Sacchi: If you've got the ability to handle some Fighters and can survive a hit from the Keeper, you should be fine(I believe it deals ~3200HP every three turns before any modifiers).  (Look out for Light or Dark Keeper invade though.  Commonly replaces Floor 5.  Same Atk as the RGB Keepers.)

If you have any Odin friends, they can help if your HP's too low to take a hit and heal up afterwards.

What's your team look like again?  Maybe I have something that could help you out?

I can totally put up my G. Odin if you need the resist. By next Tuesday his auto-recovery will be up as well, so that's even less stress.
Max skilled max awoken Odin woot woot.

I dunno where to go with the six other TAMADRA. I have two Ronias, Haku needs her fourth, Amaterasu needs three more, Bastet doesn't have any. I'm not interested quite yet in using Kirin's awoken skills...

Oh yeah for anyone who needs twinlits/trifruit but has no chance of beating the dungeons, starting from Friday until next Thursday they will be in pal.

The best way to "farm" pal points is to run the lowest level 1/2 stamina off dungeon possible as much as you can. You'll get 10 points per 2 stam or 1 pull per 40 stam. If you don't want to waste your stam willy nilly then you can run tower of giants on weekends for 10 points per 3 stam and get a ton of exp while youre at it.

Doing Hera with GOdin and no resist:
For Neptune - do you ha ve defense break or poison?
For Hades - do you have at least 16428 HP and/or can you do 600600 damage in 5-7 turns?
For Hera - can you consistently heal 2471 damage a turn?

I know the first is a yes (Succubus), I'm skeptical about the other two given the subs I usually have to run to do it myself, though you've got an HP-multiplying lead yourself and I don't on my Hera team...

The dicey part would be Hera herself.  If the Odin's HP is high enough(Someone here has an Awoken Odin that should push me barely over the threshold after the 2x HP multiplier takes effect) I can survive Hades' strikes, and have more than enough time to heal up hopefully if I focus on doing so.  (With the occasional Gungnir for massive damage and healing).  Let's see...  Assuming the Aw. Odin has like 3,000 HP, I'll have a total of... 16670 HP.  Holy CRAP I'll be close to dead, but 250 HP is still greater than 0...

Looking at the math though, I might not have the Rcv to deal with the Hera damage, unless Odin carries a lot and I get a lot of Heal Orbs to fall throughout the fight.  I've got two stones I could burn, but I don't wanna risk em if it looks hopeless.

Hm...now that I think about it, Triangles has someone who'd LOVE to hang out with your group there...  If you can, say hi to her Ares.  Of course, Odin's probably the best security if you can reliably take out the normal monsters.

EDIT:  Did the math, talked lots with Triangles, decided against Hera this time.  I just don't QUITE have the means to pull it off.  I do have a plan though now.  Gonna do the following:
-Get Alraune, then awaken for both autoheals.  Doing stuff with Odin's gonna be WAY easier with an extra 1,000 HP being automatically generated.
-Evo Pierdrawn to Drawn Joker.  The Resist/Odin strategy is gonna be my best bet with the monsters I have.  I don't have nearly the resources to make proper versions of my two eventual spike teams, so this is the way to go, and I need DJ's better leader skill to make it all work.  Bonus in that water/dark normal foes won't hurt me as much either, making 2/5ths of the possible enemies in 1-4 much easier to handle.
-Evo Succubus, probably all the way to WotN Lilith.  Poison's my only weapon against Neptune, so Im gonna want it not to suck AS badly.

Eventual team will be thus:
[L]Drawn Joker
Mystical Forest Pixie, Alraune(swapping in place of Siren for the extra autoheal to give me the potential 1500.  I'll have DJ for a Guard Stance skill if needed, even if it's not nearly so skilled up.)
Witch of the Night, Lilith
Empress of Serpents, Echidna
Keeper of Rainbow
[Friend]Odin/Awakened Odin.

Time to get to work!  Next time you show up, Hera, you WILL be mine!

Poor man Hera is CDD/RK/RK/Lilith/Siren/GOdin
3 auto heal awakenings and you literally just match one orb to kill the bosses slowly.
First trash rounds you can nuke one demon down and severely weaken the other monsters which let you safely get down to one monster attacking in less than 5 turns.
So incredibly safe though you will need a somewhat skilled up Siren as a failsafe.
I guess this was the easiest way for me since I already had the ready components.

Yeah I think I did the math once, my Ares as the SOLE monster has enough HP to take a Keeper of the Not-Rainbow hit.   Having enough RCV to heal up afterwards maybe not so much :V  But with your line up I think you should be ok.

Echidna + 4 skill boosts lets you have her up by floor 3 which lets you avoid any chance of tamadra binding and gives you plenty of time to kill the other two.


Also Lmeta has found a new niche

As a Kirin sub :V

She covers water, is on color, has tons of RCV, 2 skill boosts, and lets you clear binds.

Yeah i was looking for skillboosts but i dont have any but dragons i never use. And even if i did i dont have any leads that could use em. I mean my only burst leads are haku, hera-ur, and valkyrie. Haku is bad for dungeons that require turn 1 mass nukes cuz orb luck required. I have no skillboosts on any devils..

I can get one on my venus and 1 on my lakshmi if i had tamdras galore which i dont, and even the. Thats only 2.

I need more versatile burst leads qq.

I just did a pseudo-test on the Endless Corridors against a keeper of Light and I should be just fine against the keeper of red, especially since I'm using a stupid leader for this run (batman with batarang).

Sure him and echi can chain delay the keeper but I think I would have a pretty easy time with triangles's Ares or hell, even just a regular Firedragon Tyrannos.

Also managed to get 24 victories in the Endless Corridors, alas, my shitty team caught up with me on floor 25 (Vampire Lord + 2 Basilisks)

Killing the dublits was extremely close too. I just barely killed the 2nd in time cuz tamdra kept binding my dudes instead of attacking. Yes i use an ecchi but thats 3 turns of no binds and i dont like using aoe too much since that hurts the tamdra too. I did have to use more than i like though since i had 2-3 dudes bound for 5 of those rounds.

Now i got 1 of each twinlit.

After their new ults, with a beefy friendatron (needs 100hp more than mine) I actually have enough HP to survive the fuck you wave 3 Twinlit preempt  with LMeta/Siren/Lilith/Valkyrie/Shynee :o

I'll have enough stamina in a few hours to fail miserably on stage 1 try to start collecting the 8 or whatever Angelits I need  :ohdear:

So I made a team i was sure could handle twinlits. An earnest attempt and five stones wasted barely got me through half of their hp and I decided to fold after remembering that ANGRILIT came next :(

Meanwhile, takeminakata evolved. Update where D:

After realizing I could reliably one shot the trifruit that have 3.something million HP, I could probably one shot both Twinlits who have 2 million HP at max (Devilit takes double damage so it's effectively 1.7).
The only issue is, I can't quite set up the board in the same way as Trifruit because the Dub-mythlits can't be killed in a single mass attack.

Which means the TAMADRA is much more at risk of dying and that's really bad. Maybe I could sub out Verche or Valkyrie for Tenth Angel and instagib one of the lits?

You dont really need irb changers for the actual boss assuming you prep your board effectively during the stall phase, so id try it.if things dont work out, i doubt it'd have anything to do with missing dat orb changer.

Went for Twinlits, 1 stoned the second wave because I killed the last mythlit before my binds were cleared.

Third wave went as planned -- Tenth Angel nuked a dub-mythlit and I prodded the second one manually. From there I set up a board of Hearts and Light while the TAMADRA did its binding thing. When I was ready I just critical rejected again. :V

As expected, the Twinlits both got OHKO'd from dual TAMADRApurin, Regulus, Valkyrie, and 30 enhanced light orbs.

uhh what do I use Angelits for? I guess I could do a silly full-board conversion later on.

Ugghhh... i was so close to no stoning twinlits, was at the dubs and had 3 turns left until death and they were at like 2/5 health or so, but i just cleared the bored of hoards of useless greens and hearts so i was confident if i did good orb changing.
So im practicing my next move by hovering my finger over the screen pretending to move when by mistake i twitched and brused the screen for an instant doing a 0 orb chain move... Argh.

I have 2 stones to use but i REALLY wanna no stone from now on.

Congratulations!  Your Red Dragon Caller, Sonia is now Extant Red Dragon Caller, Sonia!
(got her to lv. 50, evo'd.) Three Awakenings out of her five are done as well.  Both element row boosts plus Bind Recover, just gotta get her Skill Boosts and she's done with that part!  At lv. 19 she still has less HP than before evolution by like 200, but that'll change in time.  Not something towards my main goal of prepping for my eventual match with Hera, but it's still something I wanted to do anyway when Rubies popped back in.

Now to find a green evolve mask to get my Dryad into a Mandrake...

I'm trying to decide what I'm gonna use my free TAMAs on. I know I am using my first one to get DMeta's last awakening, and I may as well get LMeta's last two as well. So that's three. My TAMADRApurin could stand to be maxed out there or at least bindproofed, but I really don't use it all that much...? Awakening Pandora or Gryps Rider may come in handy too.

Also I am realizing my Takeminakata team may require someone with bind recovery since Take himself lacks resistance...

that skill boost
turn one orb conversions are the best Matsuri

Actually that's me being entirely selfish and wanting more than one TAMADRApurin friend with that last skill boost awakening. It doesn't really help the turn one conversions if you don't have a max skilled Verche/Valkyrie...

If you haven't already gotten Gryps' dark row enhance, definitely gryps.

Bread and butter of DMeta basically.

I have mixed feelings about it, being a guy who -could- reliably zero-stone those dungeons but doesn't actually have much incentive to run the dungeons.

Like I don't even have Gods that need twinlits. I find myself questioning what purpose I have an Angelit for.

Well, it's more a "here's a bunch of points, spend it for either easy xp or a chance at a hard to get item." Odds of twinlits are pretty bad from what I gather.

Last guy would be my Tyrannos but I'll probably just stick him to level 50~ or something 'cause I don't wanna waste so much on him since he'll be evo'd eventually anyway.

(Plus I need to save some EXP for the Meteor Volcano Dragon, frickin 4mil exp curve.)

I wouldn't level him past 30. That should save you a lot of work.

Then I can quit levelling up my guys altogether since my Tyrannos is already at level 30. :derp:

Which means my next objective should get spend my remaining Ruby Dragons (Need another two pengdras) and get to rank 56 so I can get myself the Meteor Volcano Dragon, also Fire Keeper from the Tuesday Dungeon since the only other thing I'm lacking is a rubylit.

Then will be echidna but she'll be a tiny bit harder to get, where can I reliably get a Carmine Mask? Don't say room of the mask please, unless you guys think red ogre/emelit/3 mythlits/siren ult helper is enough for it.

The first option to come to mind would also be a pretty bad one to try, since I gather you don't have a wood team: Tower of Windy Woods has a spawn of three carmine masks on the sixth floor of the third stage. The downside is that you can only take wood-primary monsters and no wood orbs appear in the dungeon at all, unless you use abilities.

You could also try the first stage of Tomb of the Saint - Deep, or anywhere in Blazing Highway, but they're not what I'd call reliable.

Room of the Mask is probably your best bet, sadly, but if you're not confident in being able to run that then do one of the above two.

I already have a bunch of DMeta friends gathered, but a spare just in case would be great. And really useful too, to an extent-- Extend time would be great but the auto-recover could really fuck up things for a DMeta team.

True.

Honestly I'd just hold onto it until you DO get a god you can use it on :p

Room of the Mask. Sorry, it's the easiest way.

And actually yeah, that seems pretty solid as long as you really focus on taking out masks with synchronized turns before they hit, and they usually give you enough time for that.

If you want, add me and I'll put up my Awoken Odin for you.

I can get Angelits again pretty reliably, it's just that my fully awoken TAMADRApurin friend only showed up once today. :V
The redeeming thing, I suppose about Lilith is that she still has -a- multiplier at above 80% so you're not instantly boned if you overheal. I could just not awaken her if it's an issue, but no row enhances or time boost.

I need to not play PAD when I'm getting ready for bed.  Just tossed three stones away in bowmore's Master level dungeon unnecesarily.  At least I got my first whiskey dragon out of the deal, but still.

I'd originally been setting myself up to leave it run overnight while I slept so that I was regenning stamina and just play when I got the chance, but instead I stoned three times at Siren because of terrible matching skill and inhibitions/common sense dulled by it being 2:30am) on that floor and she was strong enough to OHKO me.

Of course, I had Sonia up by the time I got to Bowmore and managed to get three rows, plus skyfalls that turned into a ridiculous 15 combo and slaughtered Bowmore herself.  At least it was nice enough to drop her for me.

Angelits: Zeus, Yomi, Horus, Isis, Ra, some healer girls, Lakshmi, Parvati, Unicorn and LMeta.
Devilits: Zeus, Hera, Anubis, Shiva, Vampire, ShinjiKaworu, Cerberus and Zaerog.

Of course, some of these are not the favorable evolution. D/D Anubis is only for Utubers, and anyone who spends two angelits evolving Alraune is just sad.
Some of them are straight upgrades though, notably L/L Zeus who requires 3 angelits and DQ Hera who requires 3 devilits.

The point is just to say you have the ultimate form of the true final boss, isn't it?  That's all I could think of when I first saw him.

After one run of metal dragons without a king even appearing and not even getting a high drop, and a second run with a king appearing but not much else, I achieve 3 king appearances, 2 of them the king was not alone, and it dropped both times, plus I get the High at the end of the dungeon.

Now I have a bunch of metal dragons that I can do nothing with until the next pengdra village, tuesday get here already so I can dump these things into my Meteor Volcano Dragon.

I just noticed I have 13 Normals 2 Highs and 4 Kings.

I need a lot of Pengdras.

I'm saving all my stamina for the King Carnival. I think I'm not really going to bother with Biweekly dragons anymore. At least not the pirate ones, though I'm really tempted to for the sake of completion.

Yeah, it's Mai from Futari wa Precure Splash Star.

And yeah I'm making sure I have enough stamina for king carnival. I'm gonna try to max out my snow globe dragon and feed it off before the increased great/super chance ends. To who I'll feed it to, though...

It would make most sense to go to DMeta but at the same time a million Exp is a lot, so I kind of want it to go to takeminakata. I should have got Blanc instead of noir.

I wanna take on the King Carnival, but I don't have my Droidragon ult'd so I'd be screwed if I tried since I almost never see Top Droidragons, Kuromis, or Shivas pop up...Oh well.  (actually, I should be able to punch through 64k defense with my RSonia team and an ult'd Bastet helper if I manage the 7 combo, but if I don't when a Supee is around...)

Anyway, decided to just pass for now so I don't have to be afraid of blowing 50 stamina.  I'll just go gather Pengdras and stuff like a good boy and wait for normal metal/jewel dragon dungeons for my bigger Exp. fill.  I've probably got at least a few weeks til Hera anyway, and since she's my main goal at the moment, I won't get too concerned.

/me goes over checklist of things still to be done for the prep for her
-Evolve Mandrake
-Evolve Succubus 2x
-Level Alraune/Lilith once obtained
-Level Drawn Joker

Speaking of Alraune, I can't believe it took me til only like half a week ago to realize it was AlRAune, not AlARune.

If you've beaten Tower of Flare, that's another decent hurdle down.  At least for me, it was a rough patch, though not as bad as Castle of Satan was.  Prepare yourself, though.  The climb's gonna get steeper.  (Actually, your current Normal dungeon's gonna SUCK for you probably.  It's Polar Night Tower, right?)
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 07, 2014, 02:45:12 AM
Yeah, it's Polar Night Tower, Water/Dark is going to absolutely suck.

Tower of Flare wasn't much a hurdle for me tbh, at least not until the last stage but I was prepared with the Siren ult helper, I knew there was no way in hell I could outdamage the Ifrit's 35k defenses so I just outlasted him instead.

Next major hurdle should be the Leviathan though, which is going to suck since I'll need to stack 373k damage in five turns (8 if I can use echidna) and I don't think even with double Firedragon Tyrannos I can do that much in a single burst, maybe with FFanatic's TAMADRAPurin since that's x7 multiplier but that would mean I need to stack 53355 damage which is still going to be hard as balls, unless I get somehow really frickin' lucky with heart orbs and fire orbs for Rowdy Samurai's orbchanging and Horus's enhancement, would be nice if I could get Tyrannos's 1,3x multiplier going too.

Hell, even if the stars align and I can get FFanatic's TAMADRAPurin -and- my Tyrannos's  ability up by the time I reach the boss (since I'll be having to kill stuff before they kill me to survive) I'll still need to stack 40316 damage in one go to OHK the Leviathan, which is still going to be ass, and that number unfortunately does already account for the damage Magma Breath will deal. Hell, considering my team has a combined ATK score of 4214 I'll need to make a x9,5-ish multiplier out of orbs, enhancements and combos alone, that is going to suck.

And that's even assuming I can get to the leviathan in the first place.

I've had shit luck with orbs on friday dungeons so far, I have one Dub-Topalit and that's it, literally every time I've run it with my zombie team I get orbscrewed.

The closest thing I have to a Rainbow Horus team is Horus/Sun Wukong/Echidna/Pierdrawn, but I'm still lacking a wood attacker.

You know, I can put up my Odin and then that 16900 damage per five turns becomes... a lot less.

You have ROdin right? That could work, x5 multiplier is a x6,5 with Tyrannos's ability and Rodin does have Row Enhances, plus gungnir.

Actually if I could get a gungnir off in the first turn that would trivialize the fight, lol.

With the help of two people who invested a little bit too much into their Tyrannos, FFanatic's TAMADRAPurin and the siren ult evo friend, I've reached the final stage of the polar night tower.

So yeah, could you put up the Odin now FFanatic? Just so that I don't have to do a major spike damage to get through this foolishness.

@E:

HOLY SHIT MY ORB MATCHING SUCKS

Like seriously I couldn't get four colors to attack for the life of me and then I completely screwed up right at the last moment where I thought my HP was maxxed so I could tank with GOdin but apparently it wasn't maxxed so I died :colonveeplusalpha:

And then I completely and utterly forget that my calculations assumed that all of my damage was fire-damage, which means that Morning Star doesn't "almost OHK", it is an OHK.

Welp, I got through the Polar Night Tower, next up is the Tower of Nature, which I hope won't be as big of a problem and I can just use my regular monored team.

And thanks for the help guys.

Post by: Suikama on April 07, 2014, 07:41:35 PM
I hope the buff actually buffs her upper burst potential otherwise it would just be pointless. She doesn't really need an easier activation condition like atts + hearts since she's already the easiest leader to activate for x9. She needs a way to actually have a chance of beating bosses that have over 3 million hp without stones. Everyone else has Gravity + CTW + huge combo, but Isis has no Physical CTW or gravity and even if you get a huge combo with her it still doesn't hit very hard because she has the lowest multiplier.

Actually she seriously just need better subs. :/ No physical echidna, gravity, or ctw is the real deal breaker of her vs Kirin or Horus.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Ghaleon on April 07, 2014, 07:51:59 PM
I dunno. Isis can work in tricolours, chinese girls cannot.

Horus on the other hand, while I would agree seems better for most situations, is absolutely completely inferior to that new chinese pair god which basically horus with hearts included...which incidentally also would work for tricolours too.

What I'm saying is horus is completely and utterly obsolete in every way for leader skill compared to that god than isis even remotely is to anyone else. And isis can cure 3 turns (it is 3 right?) of binds on the whole group on a cd of 3 while being bind immune now, so I wouldn't really discount her as a leader-only god anymore.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 07, 2014, 07:58:34 PM
That's essentially what I mean, yeah, Horus is just feeling underwhelming with all the new gods coming out. He's just starting to feel obsolete. His active skill isn't really good for the Rainbow and his Awakenings are like... Mediocre, at best. The lack of a subtype really hurts him too.

I wouldn't mind a Bastet buff, but I don't think she needs one.  Horus certainly doesn't.

I would, however, like a second ult evo for Bastet.

If anything, I think Bastet's only upcoming buff may be delicious G/L Genbu being healer. Otherwise I think there's reasons why her leader skill isn't really changeable at the moment. (I.E. Dropping the combo req or increasing damage threatens Oku a bit- though since they're giving JP2 ultis now, I don't see why they couldn't buff him too)

Horus... Honestly? He has issues now. A lot of better options are popping up. I don't think he's in as good a place as he could be, and I think he's not really on even ground with a lot of other burst teams. He could use a bone really.

isis can cure 3 turns (it is 3 right?) of binds on the whole group on a cd of 3 while being bind immune now, so I wouldn't really discount her as a leader-only god anymore.

Isis can cure 2 turns on 3 turn cooldown now. Which, while still kind of a small amount, is way better than 1 turn and straight out the -best- cure heal in the game for turn efficiency and only challenged by shower of healing use against stronger binds isis can't handle. She's also the only smaller bind heal that is bind immune.

Isis is in a really great position right now, basically. She might even make it in the next popularity godfest!

Looks like Isis' buff will be involving hearts

I'm guessing 5 orbs + hearts = 4.5-5x


Also dat team build. Berry Dragon will work a lot better with Isis' buffed leader skill and with BOdin and Isis actives you have so much healing on top of over 22k HP. Basically a tankyish burst team. I want :3

So basically, Ulti Ra with the benefit of not being orbtrolled as much, but without the potential benefit of getting x7?

Also, it's long overdue but I finally evolved my Suzaku in excitement for ultimate evolutions WHENEVER WE HEAR ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THEM COME ON (please be physical please be physical or healer I have enough attackers)

On this- keep in mind she has a subtype while ra doesn't. Otherwise that's pretty accurate.

So her actual top burst would be something like x60 with 4.5x and king slime, meaning she can actually hit harder than Ra with that if she wanted too.

in short Isis for god queen if that happens.

How the hell did we get to this point.

Meteor Volcano Dragon get! Which means I now have control over Hearts and Dark Orbs to turn into Red. that should make bursting slightly easier, especially since the Meteor Volcano Dragon adds a whopping 20k damage on top of it. It's already at level 32 so its stats are good enough.

Already have my second Flame Keeper (and luckily got invaded by a dark keeper floor 1!) to go with my Echidna, now just wait until tomorrow to get a Carmine Mask (Unless I luck out in the Blazing Highway) and then two rubylits and EoS Echidna get!

(Then I'll have to find a way to get Keepers of the Rainbow and Mystic Masks reliably).

Two rounds of metal dragons. Not a single high or king. That's five rounds of metal dragons this week with no benefit on a 2x king rate.

This is why I have trust issues, gungho.

How come you're leading with Odin and not Andromeda(not complaining, I can use BOdin with I&I farmwise)? I think at that point you could use more utility than anything else. Like a Kamui, Hatsume, or even a Siren/megalo.

I can't generate enough blue orbs to use Andromeda lead, and Bodin gets me pal points. I would like more orb changers, but my blue knight hasn't gotten any skillups and I don't have a Hatsume or Megalo. Siren is just too meh.

Siren's gotten a lot better with her ult. She can easily replace Megalo unless you want physical typing.

Well, trying to burst down the keeper of the Rainbow certainly won't work, even with an almost full board worth of enhanced red orbs and Menace to give me enough time for a second shot at Rowdy's orbchange (plus TAMADRAPurin) I still barely got him to 40% HP.

Even Tyrannos's Magma Breath wouldn't have helped. So I need a new strategy.

Well GOdin makes anything a free win with enough patience :derp:

If I combine my Pierdrawn's 30% reduction and GOdin's 80% reduction how much will that guve me? My math sucks because it gave me a 104% reduction and that can't be right.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition

86% total

Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 08, 2014, 11:47:03 PM
That... Is not a big increase at all  :colonveeplusalpha:

Still maybe running Pierdrawn would be a good Idea. It gives me a failsafe in case things go wrong and gives me less health and more RCV which helps keep my HP at 100% for GOdin to do his magic.

Running with an Odin pal means RK is hitting for ~4.4k and then 5 turns to heal back up again so even just Odin is ok but it will be loooooong.

You're  probably better comboing it with an ATK multiplier so you can get through the first 3 rounds more easily. Also makes RK a bit shorter.

Aye, but even if I had Drawn Joker (Which I don't) I would require 11100HP to survive a single hit from the Rainbow Keeper (Which I don't have) and even with a x7 from Tyrannos + TAMADRAPurin I don't have enough damage to deal with the Rainbow Keeper.

http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/140409_sinka.html

Suzaku's ult evo is going two ways: One is easier to activate (you can use any three of hearts/fire/wood/light to get 3.5x), and the other has more awakenings.

Isis is getting an extra .5x attack for each ult evo.  Ame no Uzume is getting a Light Metatron-esque 50% hp threshold to activate.

I didn't translate what the golems are getting but it looks stupid.

Edit: Nevermind, the easier to activate suzaku is actually worse because she only gets 3x if she matches 3 and has to match 4 to get 3.5, so it's an... ult evo nerf...?

All gaining a light subtype, their orb enhance awaken changed to a second bind resist (hi they're bind immune now), and their leader skill becomes when you attack with their colors (whichever of R/G/B and light) you get 3x.

EDIT: ninja'd by JQ :V but Edible I don't see where you're getting that about R/G Suzaku? Looks like any 3 for 3.5x to me...

Well crap, FFanatic ain't on the Helper list.

You are though, and according to my math, my usual team with my Pierdrawn as Leader + your Ares = ME SURVIVING ONE HIT FROM THE RAINBOW KEEPER, so I essentially have 13 turns to screw with him.

So I might as well try.

Welp I guess I need TWO angelits now because dang twinlit Suzaku doesn't look too bad at all but her leader skill doesn't seem to change at all?

but that easily obtainable one is really not a benefit at all beyond being safer to use and boostable by king woodsie which isn't actually all that bad but it does mean you can't trigger x3.5 through her active skill so it's overall meh

(I'll still probably do it anyway because I don't use my Suzaku as it is)
(And I have two Suzaku so I may as well grab both)

Also dang Ame no Uzume just gained a ton of potential with an attacker type and reduced HP threshold AND NO NEED FOR TWINLITS

I really should look into making a fire attacker team because I have a lotta potential on my team now...
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Edible on April 09, 2014, 03:28:01 AM
Now that you mention it, I could run Ame no Uzume / Freyr / Asuka / Drake (or kagu) / King Flamie.  or swap uzume with asuka for extra HP, or something.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 09, 2014, 03:31:40 AM
My dilemma now is that I have Suzaku, Ame no Uzume, Asuka, and Misato and they all could work well as good leaders ^^; (and of course King Flamie gets a spot)

apparently x3 is wrong and rg lei is still 3.5x but is easier to make with hearts

Okay then that's not too bad at all then, it eliminates a lot of orbtrolling

Quote
also is the Isis buff allow hearts to basically count as a color or does it only contribute to damage if 5+hearts is matched. It seems to be the latter which doesn't it really help that much :\

Sounds like Ulti Ra to me :v

Holy shit my crusade against the Rainbow Keeper was successful.

Barely successful, mind you, but I managed to last two hits thanks to miraculous healing. It would've been a lot easier if I had Drawn Joker's 50% reduction instead of Pierdrawn's 30%.

However, this does let me set up a lot of burst - Pierdrawn turns Yellows into hearts, Ares turns Hearts and Blues into reds and Meteor Volcano Dragon turns blacks into reds, I literally have full control over everything besides greens, I managed to get a nearly full board of enhanced reds.

And GungHo didn't troll me and ended up giving me Rainbow Keeper along with another Keeper of the Dark, so that's a success.

On the plus side, Suzaku -is- red/light. Her skill has some chaff though- she also comes with much needed row enhance to make the leader skill shine.

Coupled with freyr and some other good subs, you'd have a team.

It'd be a lot cooler if well, It wasn't behind gold keepers.

The real question now is do I dump Gigas from my Suzaku team (once we get these ultis in foreeeeeeeever) and if so for what. Team probably sucks anywaaaaaaaaaaaaay though :V

(Also which Suzaku do I do if I so get an Angelit, idk those particular extra awakenings don't actually excite me that much. But either way I can get a sub-light and a sub-green since even with R/G Suzaku I can just reverse Ifrit into R/L)

EDIT: ... oh duh never mind probably Shiva for MOAR ROWS even if neither of his subelement options are on-color =P
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 09, 2014, 05:10:17 AM
I'm actually leaning more toward balanced Suzaku because she's got ease of use going for her as well as a lot more survivability potential because attackers are fragile as hell. (Again, I'm gonna get both anyway, but I can see a lot of function in R/G Suzaku too now that I understand her more)

I really wanted one of her ultis to be Physical because she would mesh SO WELL with Takeminakata, Apollo, and Gigas, but that's just how it goes.

Basically, the benefit of Chinese gods is that their leader skill works with all types of characters, regardless of type or element. So you COULD pack your team with high HP physicals and high RCV healers or Balanced or high ATK attackers and it's all very versatile! You have the ability to make it very balanced.

What I am thinking is, for my own sake, using the easily obtainable version:
R/G Suzaku/Takeminakata (HP and enhancements)/Homura or Odin (probably Odin because higher RCV and HP)/Flame Archer or Non-Ulti Ame no Uzume (again, RCV) or even my other Suzaku, ulti'd to Balanced anyway)/King Woodsie/R/G Suzaku

At maximum potential, assuming using Odin and both Suzaku, including friend Suzaku and no +eggs:
HP: 19167 (!)
RCV: 2128

What you'll get is a high HP and RCV team that can pack a punch by carrying all of the necessary elements. Thus, being a lot more survivable (and easier to trigger!) than twinlit Suzaku, even if her damage potential is through the roof. And for a final blow I can trigger King Woodsie and everyone but Takeminakata will get x36.75 (I think?), while Take himself will get x12.25, which is fantastic.

For a more farmable and not REM-dependent version, fully balanced:
(http://puu.sh/81Jjx.jpg)

Add 200 to max HP, 200 to Fire ATK, and 100 to RCV to match up with R/G Suzaku. This also has the benefit of being able to produce emergency orbs with ease.

Red ogre, 4 blue fodders and an ult siren as a helper, yep, it's a resolve team.

That's a maximum of 7 hits per turn, keeping myself at 100% HP ain't a problem, the problem is I can't deal with the boss room, like, at all, since the Mystic Mask attacks every turn and getting attacked twice in the same turn is the death of a Resolve Team.

The only idea I have right now is swapping one of the blue fodders for my echidna to buy me more time in the boss room, thoughts? :c

Oh wow. B/W Isis is even easier to activate, and has a higher top multiplier. Like Ult Ra with a very forgiving safety net. I would put her at Archangel Lucifer level of good starting roll.

Remember what they used to say about Luci? "Can carry you to endgame, and is still relevant even then." Isis is there with this update.



Room of the Mask: use a Shiva. Doesn't even have to be a friend, you can use the 5-pt random guy Shiva. Use a full Red team, with some breath weapons. Match orbs without killing too many things for 21 turns, then unleash the killing blows. As long as you sweep each floor while the buff is active, it will carry over to the next floor. This also works for Shrine of Spirits.

Nowhere. If I could I would let you have some of mine. I haven't had a Dark Keeper in over 10 runs of RK.

Red ogre, 4 blue fodders and an ult siren as a helper, yep, it's a resolve team.
Get a blue ogre and set up 10 orbs before you enter the boss room. 2 mass attacks and a blue match on the third turn leaves one mask.

It might be duh but you aware that the boss actually has significantly less health than its helpers? Unless both helpers attack on the same turn, having a combination of boss+helper attack should actually be easier to avoid than the trash leading up to the boss for a resolve team.

Oh yeah, and ogres are actually just about the worst possible sub to use for resolve teams. It makes little difference if you have a siren friend to heal you but if you can fill up all your subs with rubylits, amalits, topalits, etc (any combination of any colours), then you can easily self-heal to full without a siren friend. Then you can still resolve team strategy while opening up friend possibilities (i liked using liliths). Just make sure the friend doesnt have sky high hp without comparably good rcv.

Shiva bashing is great but finding one can be hard sometimes, and lilith charges faster too so if you only get stumped by one wave she works just as well.

I have my Shiva ult-evoed as well at this point, for what it's worth.

Totally random thought, but the SDM would actually make a pretty good descend :V

A lot of descends now seem to have a Dragon boss, a Healer boss, a sub boss, then the actual Boss.

Dragon boss: Meiling
Healer boss: Patchy
Sub boss: Sakuya
Boss: Remilia

:V :V


Also the green ripper dragon boss starts out asleep IT'S SO PERFECT :getdown:

Also also
Meiling: Physical/Dragon
Patchy: Healer
Sakuya: Attacker
Remilia: Devil/Balanced?
Flan: Devil/Attacker
Cirno: Enhance material

Try number 3 of the room of the mask, running the resolve team again since apparently me getting help from Chaore is still on cooldown.

Everything goes smoothly until the boss, skyfalls troll me again (admittedly though, it was partially my fault for miscalculating) and I kill the last mask in the fourth wave before being fully prepared, thankfully I still had 8 water orbs and the resulting new orbs gave me another 2 water orbs, so I make 2 AoE strikes for a total of 12 damage.

And then none of the new 10 orbs that spawn are water, so I have to make do with fire. I get the mystic mask to one HP before going down.

This game hates me.

Urgh, I don't even want the Mystic Mask anymore, just give me a freaking Carmine Mask so I can evo my echi and be done with this foolishness until rank 68!

@E:

Also, out of curiosity, how do Awakenings stack with resistances? And with themselves, for that matter.

For example, say I'm running a Drawn Joker Leader with a team that has, in total, 5 Dark Defense Awakenings, does that make it a 60% reduction or something else entirely? :derp:

It stacks multiplicatively. So if you have 50% resist via leader and 10% via awakening, you'll end up with 55%
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Suikama on April 09, 2014, 11:29:16 PM
The resist awakenings themselves stack additively though. Well they do on the same monster I think? I'm not sure about if they are on different monsters like 1 dark resist on Hera + 1 dark resist on Drawn Joker vs 2 on drawn joker

*Weekend Leaders*
 [Duration]: 4/12 (Sat), 12:00 AM - 4/13 (Sun), 11:59 PM (PST)

One must have great courage to face one's enemies!

4/12 - Athena Descended!
 4/13 - Zeus Descended!
 4/12 - 4/13 - Dragon in Motley

As a bonus for this special weekend, *1000 Pal Points* are being awarded to players each day!

Dragon in Motley's the only thing relevant to me here, though I'll have to hold myself back from spending the PAL points so I can get better stuff later on when a bonus shows up, like Jewel/Metal dragons, etc.

Well if you have any need of Pierdras it might be worth it, since CoC comes around pretty often compared to other things(kinda like ECO Collab).  I mean, i'm pretty sure I've seen it three or four times since I started at least, not counting my hiatuses.

Yeah kinda. This is the third time that I can remember myself.

Pierdra likewise is super rare- I just have really low expectations of getting enough pierdra from it to be worth it, honestly- and I'm honestly probably being forced to phase out Luci anyway.

Caved in, ult evo'd Lilith to the "Who needs clothing?" edition.

People keep saying for stuff like Lilith and Archangel and the  Ripper and Late Bloomer ults that, if you can get the trifruits and twinlits then you probably already have an endgame team and therefore better members.

What bothers me is that, I -can- get trifruits and twinlits without issues, but I really don't have the teams full of Ronias, Shiva, and everything that people like to flaunt about on YouTube. I really could improve my Valkyrie team, for example, if I put the ult Holy Dragon on there, especially since Lilith isn't a healer anymore.

Riders are okay and are getting upgrades soon. But I'd still suggest rerolling. Riders serve more of a purpose as utility subs than leaders (which is what you should really be pulling for when you start, a good leader).

What they all said - starting with a good leader makes the early stages so much easier.  Here's a list of what you want to aim for with your freebie roll. (http://guide.padherder.com/Reroll_tier_list)
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Jq1790 on April 10, 2014, 03:50:09 PM
Speaking of freebie pulls, the Premium Egg machine(the lv. 20 one) is getting an update to add the Noel dragons as possibilities.  GungHo is also resetting the machines so if you used your pull you can do it again.  Update is the 14th, so use your roll before then!

Post by: The Greatest Dog on April 10, 2014, 04:06:55 PM
now one is. What IS your trifruit team/strategy, anyway?

I love you.
I run TAMADRApurin, naturally, with Regulus, Valkyrie, Verche, and anything with two skill boosts (I personally use Green Odin because more bind immunities). Assuming Verche and Valkyrie are skilled to the max (thank you Gungho collab!) you can get turn one orb converters which is a big deal for orb trolling.

The biggest issue is if the TAMADRA binds Verche and Valkyrie which puts a damper on killing the Fruit and Flower simultaneously.
If all goes according to plan you can set up a giant board of light/heal/dark on the TAMADRA so you can pop all your converters/Regulus/TAMADRApurin for a OHKO.

So yeah it's like... 80% reliable I guess?

Ah, ok.  Well ideally I'll have at least 2k recovery when all's said and done(Friend Odin is 500, Alraune will be 1k, and Lilith will be 500 if I remember right), so that'll cover everything but I think Hades and Neptune. 

Just did the math, Minerva can hit through the autoheal amount, too, but only by ~800ish, which I'm guaranteed to be able to fully heal in two matches even without hearts.

Really my main thing will be hitting the 8213 HP requirement to survive a blow from Hades, but hopefully that'll be mostly trivial.  ...yeah, if I hit my goal I'll have over 10,000 HP so I should be more than OK for anything the dungeon can throw at me after the firrst four floors.

Just did this for fun:
(http://puu.sh/848AL.jpg)

TAMADRApurin team that is high HP and much more capable of surviving due to very high HP and a consistent stream of 1500HP recovered every turn. Substitute Archangel for LMeta if desired, and Apollo with Valk/Verche if desired as well. If LMeta is on the team, the only party members even capable of being bound are Takeminakata and Apollo.

The cost, though...

It's so fun to hit a brick wall ain't it?

I mean I'm not at a brick wall in terms of dungeon progress (though it seems like the tomb of the saint-deep and the Faithless Temple with No Name are gonna be hell) though until I get myself a Carmine Mask I can't evolve echi and make progress towards evolving other stuff :(

Also put my Meteor Vulcano Dragon on level 50 since he'll won't reach his FINAL FORM until I get trifruits which is still going to take a -good- while.

Also, it's kind of agonizing to have 8 TAMADRAs sitting around in your box and have nothing to use them on.

@E:

Something amusing just happened to me, I ran the Thursday Dungeon 3 times ('cause I need a Dragon Fruit for my Drawn Joker) and I only dropped the Dragon Fruit on the last run, but on the first run, I dropped the left-side Dragon Plant, and on the second run, I dropped the right-side Dragon Plant, obviously that means I dropped the Dragon Fruit (center enemy) last, which is something mildly amusing by itself.

However, the last run has me dropping, in order, a Green Carbuncle, a Dragon Seed, a Dragon Plant, a Dragon Flower and a Dragon Fruit. 1*, 2*, 3*, 4* and 5*, in order. I found it pretty funny tbh lol.

And I hope the Shrine of Spirits isn't stupid today 'cause I need like 3 Dubmythlits, 2 Dubrubylits and 1 Dub-Amelit

Imo they should just shut up and take the freebies at least we're getting some.

the problem is a lot of these 'freebies' are actively taken into consideration when making the game

so when we're treated worse than Jp we actually are hurt more because the game takes what jp got for granted and doesn't consider us

so it leads to stuff like a Row Awakening meta because Tamadra are super cheap in Japan and awakening your subs is easy

when before we'd have to stone metal dragons endlessly to do that which is expensive because we don't get anywhere near the free stones jp does

Gungho NA is a long time offender of this kind of stuff, so yeah, a lot of people treat them like shit because of it

so yeah no this shit is actually really bad.





the facebook comments are often really dumb though, not going to lie

it's just really important you don't just think Gungho NA is an innocent bystander who did nothing wrong

I never said that. You'll recall that I show displeasure at that as well.

What I am saying, though, is that when you actually have the ability to talk to the company and they frequently respond, which means they are at least doing some listening, being clear and reasonable with them will solve so much more than being a vitriolic little pissbaby at them because they haven't brought the hunterxhunter collab here :v

Which might be why I didn't quote or address what you said, and instead the person who was all 'eh we should be fine with what we got' because that point of thinking is actually bad instead of facebook posts being bad, and why I included at the end 'facebook posts are bad though' specifically to reassure you i wasn't trying to contradict what you're saying and mostly addressing that type of thinking.

*sigh*  Two more Emelits are all I need for Mandrake to evolve, and I've even got some Pengdras in the wings waiting so I can level her up a bit.  Goal's to get her to like level 40 or so.  First one dropped easily enough in SoS, but of course the second one's gonna just not, and my drop rate's gonna be terrible overall, too. 

Kind of annoyed that the Mythlit showed up like 3 or 4 times outside the boss floor and couldn't be bothered to drop, too.(Actually, didn't get a single one from like 4 runs, and two of those runs NOTHING from 5F dropped)

Oh well, I'm just gonna farm Dungeon of Wood for the last Emelit if this's how it's gonna be.

You should push to Starlight Sanctuary. Zeus might not be easy, but the lower levels aren't too bad. I can take them down pretty easily with monoblue, so it shouldn't be too bad for d meta or tamapurin.

If not, there's always the technical Iris of something something.

Hill of Iris's Rainbow, I believe it's called.

Reminds me, I should probably actually DO Technicals more eventually, but since I don't recall them having anything interesting til I get to the dungeons I won't even be able to DO, I dunno.  Been so focused on Hera the past days since she passed by I haven't bothered with much else during the bits of time I've played lately.

Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: O4rfish on April 12, 2014, 05:55:40 AM
There isn't really a safe twinlit team, but Zeus plus Echidna with a poison or defense break works some of the time. I use Zeus Valk Echidna Lilith and HeraIs for stats and a third gravity. I could use Shiva but stalling for Lilith is hard enough. Actually, maybe I should swap in Bodin instead of Herais for the skill boots. Stats are even better, so it would make the earlier stages easier. The gungnir might be useful as well...

Mostly just focusing on a few things after a while.  I still have a bunch of light evo materials I'll probably never use too even though I have Apollo and Verche, simply due to other teams being too far along.

Sure!  I'm gonna do it anyway, so now it's just that much more motivation to get her evo'd sooner.  I dpn't have the Tamas to Awaken her at all though, so I hope her LSkill alone will prove enough for your needs.  (it SHOULD! but still.)

She will be like lv. 67ish I think once I'm done with her at minimum(<3 Vert), so she should be pretty strong.

Can't even try to farm dubmyths til I beat SEVERAL more dungeons anyway...I guess I might as well work on other things til Friday then.  I think one of the upcoming dungeons has Mystic Masks in it, so maybe I'll make THAT my goal, since Ocean of Heaven's still a bit of a ways away for me in Normals, too.

It feels like when I was in Castle of Satan.  SO close to a place where I can make breakthroughs, but so far at the same time.

Speaking of CoS, I wonder when they'll do another Mystic Knight Invasion again?

Sorry :( You should still ult her when you're able, though; the extra multiplier on her leader skill is great and the extra HP is a good reason as well.

Oh, it's nothing to apologize over; like I said, mine wouldn't have been powerful enough ANYWAY if your screenshots are anything to go by.

I was always gonna evo her once I saw her MASSIVE HP jump anyway.  She'll have probably 1600-1800 or something HP when I'm done with her, which is nothing to sneeze at when my big goal is like 8200-something or whatever.

I WOULD like to see them come back sometime, the Mystics.  I still need an Ice one since that's the only element whose regular orb-changer I don't have yet.  Not even getting into stuff like the heartbreaker, haha.  (Stupid Two Heroes dungeon...)

Would something like Luci, if you have him(I forget if you're one of the ones on my list who does), have use on the team for situations like this, assuming it's only the boss floors that would do enough to instagib you(since if they would, too, I'm aware you couldn't THINK of charging him in time)?  If you're gonna die in one hit anyway it won't matter if you have thousands of HP or just 1, though he's not an Attacker, so I dunno since he doesn't get the Atk boost.

It wouldn't be a bad idea, no. I guess he could take the place of Kitty BadShynee, who I keep on the team for emergency healing and hearts for Vamp to convert. On the other hand, charging skills on a DMeta team is an act of futility where it's even difficult to make sure King Flamie is ready to go. So it probably wouldn't work.

Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 12, 2014, 11:21:52 PM
Running a DMeta team is less a game of damage dealing and more a game of resource management. Damage is pretty much a non-issue because you can and will stomp most normal enemies with a simple three-dark match-- but stalling is incredibly difficult because you already have to be below 80% HP for DMeta's leader skill to work-- and Attackers short of DMeta herself and like, Nobunaga (who I can't fit in my team yet because cost) have shit for HP. So you can't take hits, like at all!

My "Stalling" method for DMeta is running counters down as much as possible before sweeping-- and failing that, matching hearts, water orbs, and grass orbs (I don't have anything on my team that can do serious damage with water (Vampire isn't attacker) and I don't have any grass types on the team) as much as possible can help me tank a hit or two and stay in the orange/yellow range. But that's only on single, non-midboss/boss enemies. Multiple enemies are rough and midboss/bosses are pretty much a death sentence in one blow.

My basic method for a stage follows as such:
1. Get rid of as many hearts and green orbs as possible on very first turn. Take hits until below 80% HP. Take an extra hit if possible in case of skyfallen hearts (which can and WILL always happen when you don't want it to)
2. Stall counters as much as possible by just matching green or blue orbs.
3. Sweep the floor with three dark orbs. It's usually enough. You don't want to get hit, so combo if you don't think it'll be enough. Use Vampire if necessary.
4. Near the end of a stage (or before midboss/bosses), make sure you have about 50% HP going in, or 100% if you know you can tank a hit. There is a reason for this.
5. For midbosses, a dark row plus a couple combos should be enough to OHKO. Take a hit to get you below 80% if you started in at 100%.
6. For bosses, run counter down if there is one and you haven't prepared all skills.
7. The final blow can go one of these ways:
- If you have all skills charged, pop Vampire to change hearts to dark, then Gryps Rider Drake to change light to dark. Pop DMeta to enhance all dark orbs now, and then pop King Flamie for x64+enhancements and row damage. It'll do a few million if you do it right.
- If Vampire is not charged: Pop Gryps Rider, then DMeta, then King Flamie, and hope for the best.
- If Gryps Rider is not charged and you can recover 3000 HP without going over 80%: Pop Kitty BadShynee to change all light orbs to heart orbs. Pop Vampire to change all hearts to dark. Pop DMeta to enhance, then King Flamie.
- Any other way, just do what you can and hope for the best. Do not overheal or you are irredeemably fucked (unless boss does not hit all that hard).

Could be something like the gold/metal dragon dungeon, I don't think we've gotten that one yet.

Yeah for some reason it's hidden in the PAD wiki too, which is strange.

Heres the page for it. (http://pad.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3%E3%83%80%E3%83%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%B3_%E9%99%8D%E8%87%A8%EF%BC%81)

Wouldn't it be easier to just nerf the monster? If only a little.

Nah. I think there's just going to be a constant power creep throughout this game's lifespan. Eventually at this rate x10 multipliers will become the norm and the older characters will have to get buffed/updated/new evos to remain relevant.

This is why more and more descends have also become very unfriendly to stall teams as well, because while triple gravity and double Morning Star Luci teams used to be incredibly effective (all together, you could almost drop a 2,000,000 HP boss in one turn), descend bosses are getting more and more HP and stronger and stronger consecutive desperation fuckoff attacks (with multiple hits, so it's a big fuck you to resolve teams and Odin teams too) to the point that not even an HP/RCV Luci build could keep up survival for long enough to unleash another blast, there's just no way to survive without feeding stone after stone and it's just not worth it. P&D definitely leans toward a burst style of metagame, but descends are becoming unfriendly even to many of those teams too because many burst teams have to make a heavy sacrifice to work-- DMeta, for example, has to be below 80% HP to work, and your HP is going to be very low to start with so don't even get your hopes up to be able to stall for long-- and you can't have high RCV either because overhealing will make you useless. Oh, and they sure seem fond of giving bosses pre-emptives that drain dark damage just for that extra fuck you element.

Kinda makes me wonder what even is effective anymore.

Their general policy is 'If people have already spent stones specifically for this one thing, changing it is a huge no no'.

It's also why Lakshimi's active is the complete same.

Makes me wonder if they can have actives do more than two things. Like, they've had no problem giving random ultilities to just about every single nuke in the game, because of that Blue Odin's nuke is better than her in just about every way, so why not Lakshmi? Is there any active in the game that does 3 things at once? We have stuff that can do one of 3 things at random, but I don't think there's anything that goes nuke, power boost, and something else. Closest thing I can think of is Heracles reducing your health to 1.

If you already have your Tyrannos at the Firedragon Tyrannos stage and decide that's who you wanna supercharge, feel free to use it without waiting to hit Grand Tyrannos stage.  Since Firedragon Grand Tyrannos is an Ult Evo, it retains whatever level Firedragon Tyrannos has, and vice-versa if for some odd reason you undid the Ult Evo.

Who are you using the most?  I'd say go with that.  Unless, of course, there's someone you wanna level for a specific purpose, that is(like why I powerleveled Alraune instead of pushing Freyja higher up like I normally might have with my second Vert)

Regulus is so getting power leveled. 1533 attack is still higher  than my +150 TAMADRApurin's attack.

Ultimate Evolutions keep whatever level you have the "final" evo at.  This is true for ALL Ultimate Evolutions, btw.(Of course, when you do the Ult Evo, since it's a Power-Up Fusion, you still gain the Exp. for the materials used, so the level may increase after evolution's complete.)

If you ult it though, be sure you've got the cost for it since that'll rise as well.

Actually Gaia herself isn't too hard since he hits for only 8000, but she also has a 99% HP gravity which she does after giving you a ton of hearts. Ceres' hits a lot harder for 16k while also killing all your heart orbs.

First floor is also a problem unless you can get lucky with a lot of red orbs. The japanese version added an extra floor before it so you can charge skills a bit but I dont know if we'll get it. Also you don't get to charge much because IT'S THE RETURN OF FLOWER BEAM

Just wait until Tower of Jewel rolls around again and grind master. I think the boss drops every time (at least it seemed to last time) and it doesn't matter what color you get since they all have the same ability so just pick one and feed the rest into it. Although it does have to be a fully evolved one so the stage drops are no good.

Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 14, 2014, 10:22:54 PM
Honestly I would say that Lilith has a lot of clear advantages that DMeta doesn't have. Sure, you're gonna lack the x4 boost, but you'll be really consistent with damage instead-- and Liliths come paired with skills that boost devil ATK as well, which would be useful. That, and you don't have to worry about HP requirements, and in fact would have +1000 rcv every turn if both liliths are awakened-- AND an extra second to move orbs which would come in handy as well.

DMeta's big advantage is her monstrous stats and the x4. Also bindproofing, row enhances, and orb enhance skills.

Unfortunately not. On a team where you have a lot more HP it wouldn't make that much of a difference because +500 is relatively low, but on an attacker team where you have next to nothing to begin with, it makes a big difference.

Still, having 3x multiplier is a lot better than 1x!
if I take any hits whatsoever then I'd be in range so.
But having 12x is a lot better than 3x...

This is true.

(You're still fucked against a boss tho)

EDIT: Suddenly I understand the use of Rei. A shame she's not compatible with my current system of 'make all orbs, even light orbs, dark for the final blow' system-- but triggering her right at a boss could save a lot of time and wasted stamina...

I wonder if she'd have use for teams that otherwise couldn't handle certain bosses' preemptives or something but could take care of said bosses otherwise...(not that one stone for a Descended boss is doing badly at ALL, but still.)

That's kind of what I'm getting at. A lot of bosses deal damage for more HP than a typical Attacker team even has. So even if you die, you can't waste a stone on it because you'll be pathetically weak as DMeta and any hit you take will OHKO you, so it's pointless. But if you could cut that damage in half... there's a lot of potential in that.

You know, you keep mentioning how damage is a nonissue, and your problem is health. Have you tried using a golem as one of your subs. They have a ton of health, and if your damage is that high, maybe you don't need all of it.

The Isis active buff is already live! :O :O :O

I wonder what other changes there are


Okay no +orbs staying + even after a change. Which probably means the bind recovery, 2 prong, and resist awakenings aren't buffed yet either.

The Isis buff was grouped with other buffs though including Guard Break, Mythic stone dragon, and Tengu cooldown reductions, Izanami resist buff, Heracules, Zeus and Takemina leader skill buffs, and Metatron buffs

Oh, ok.  Oh well, I've pretty much shelved DMeta for until I get the subs needed to use her more effectively. Until then, RSonia's working relatively well.  I need more fire or dark row-enhancing Devil subs though.

That would potentially work, yes. Honestly, having Kitty BadShynee is convenient but ultimately superfluous when I have both Vamp and Gryps Rider on my team. She's definitely the weakest link because she has awful stats but a useful skill-- so throwing a golem in would be useful... Maybe I should try skilling one up after all.

Ideally, I'd put my Nobunaga on the team because he's a Dark Attacker with MASSIVE HP, but cost. >.o

Naturally almpst all the pulls will be the healergirls and you'll barely see the higher rarity stuff, but I guess the chance is nice.

Wouldn't mind a Chiyome, even though her active is pretty much entirely useless.

I'm sorta hyped for the red Valkyrie 'cause that means if the REM Gods smile upon me another time I can finally get myself a Definitive Heartbreaker for my Monored. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to stick to my Rowdy Samurai until Gigas decides to drop.

She'll also be ridiculously easy to skillup I assume, since her and the Samurai Goblins share the same ability so just farm Nerva until your fingers drop.

Also, today is "let's see if I can do Rainbow Keeper again" day, wish me luck.

@E:

And the answer is "nope".

Having Drawn Joker would make this so much easier, more health would certainly help too ):

At least I managed to set this (http://puu.sh/89K6c.png) up by doing Pierdrawn -> Ares -> Meteor Volcano Dragon -> Horus. Except a Wood Orb trolled me. ;_;

This is my plan right now. As it is now, I was only barely able to tank an attack by the red(like 100 health left.) I would throw stones, but I only have 2. If I used a golem, I'm not sure who I want to replace. I'll have to do a lot of healing so Valk is out. Same with Echidna. Plus I don't know if I can kill Gold Keeper without her. That leaves Verche and Hera-Is. I'd likely replace Hera-Is, though I'd miss the stats she has. I also want Lizzynami.

But no, what I meant was other than using a friend arch hades it's basically just three high hp dark types and an echidna, preferably gravities.

I don't it'll happen. It'll probably be in the same catagory as rerolling.  It's not like the it'st that lucrative. It's a little while to get to 20, and there's a good chance you'll get the starter instead. You'll still have to evolve and level it up too. In that time, you could be ranking up, I don't think leveling is that big a deal anymore. You can stone supers of your choice, and they come really often.

Silly me didn't realize it was Super Sapphire time til it was part way in, and due to my low Stamina I had to spend two stones for two runs at it.  At least the first round leveled my Drawn Joker from 1 to 48(had I think a king, a super, and 3 highs or something.  It got a Super when I fed.) so now IT's leveled enough.  Once I finish the other run at some point I'll probably save it til I get the two Amelits I need to evo Lilith and then try my luck there too.

It ws glorious having had  W/D Neptune friend though.  Almost 10k poison damage, used on the final floor to annihilate everything.

Drawn Joker's nice for this dungeon because it so happens to be one of the types it resists.  Lucky coincidence, that.

Only thing I'd want out of upcoming godfest is Thor or Freyr and I really don't feel like trying for them. Might do one pull just for the sake of doing so but that's all.

EDIT: Okay, Raphael would be nice too.
EDIT2: Oh, and I got two super kings and one normal king out of one round of Supers 8)
(makes up for the shitty luck I've had with them recently really.)

Not gonna pull this godfest, Freyr is essentially Grand Tyrannos just not a Dragon which means he's inferior and Uriel doesn't give bonus attack.

If I would pull, it would be for that slim chance that I would get something like a Red Odin or a DMeta. I would appreciate a Gigas, actually. :c

Enjoy yourself while you're still at the part of the game where dragons are still viable party members. ^^;

Freyr has the benefit of boosting both fire and attacker types at ultimate evo, which allows for better party combinations and meshes well with King Flamie, which is really important when taking on later-game bosses.

By the point I get there I'll be Horus-ing my way through, if I ever hit a wall where not even a well-crafted Horus team can pierce, then I'll go cry myself in a corner.

I still pray that one day they'll reduce Zaerog's ridiculous cost, give him some decent stats and allow me to do my Dream All-Dragon Team

I mean, we already have our own slime (Draggie) now all we really need is a decent Leader, Zaerog seems like the best bet but dat team cost is like :fail:
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Jq1790 on April 17, 2014, 01:39:55 PM
Haha, yeah, Zaerog's pretty ridiculous.  I couldn't even run his ult'd form at all at my rank  haha, much less actually make a team with him.

It really is disappointing that dragons are so 'meh' mostly thanks to normally subpar actives, given the game name.  (I mean, Zaerog's is nice, but most of them...)
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Suikama on April 17, 2014, 02:12:45 PM
I'm pretty sure if you can beat Zaerog then you can afford his cost

You need to have 100 stamina to even fight him in the first place

And then you have to be able to grind it because there's only a 33% chance of him dropping
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Bio on April 17, 2014, 02:18:02 PM

Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 17, 2014, 02:39:06 PM
I think the ridiculous cost is the reason why nobody even uses Zaerog and Kouryu in the first place. And as far as I see it they're the only potentially good Dragon leaders.

I mean ADK Zeal seems to be a thing and Draggie himself could do something but x2,5 and x3 multipliers just don't seem like much when compared to a x3,5 unconditional + best gravity and a x4.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Suikama on April 17, 2014, 02:42:11 PM
Eh even something like Zaerog, Voice, Draggie, Ronia, Ronia is like 259 cost which I can still afford but I still haven't beat Zaerog so :derp:

Actually it's more likely the fact that other leaders like Kirin are just plain way better :derp:

Also you NEED a really good leader just to get them in the first place. Zaerog and Koryu are like the two hardest dungeons in the game like seriously cost isn't an issue at all

Well, when you consider the how 3.5 guy has negative RCV and an active on 35 turn cooldown unless you skill it up while the x4 guy requires you to maintain full health in a type known for crap RCV, things start to look more even. I think they should give Fagan a row enhance or two tbh.

Post by: The Greatest Dog on April 17, 2014, 02:57:14 PM
With two Zaerogs, Draggie, ultimate Hadar, CDKV, and maybe Caol-Ila for that recovery, you have a bunch of monsters with a really solid attack and multiplier. You also have bunches of skill boosts, so a max skilled Draggie is likely to be ready in even the shortest of dungeons. So I would speculate. Two gravity abilities as well, if you can stall that 15 turns.
I like the potential.

Also, do we know why Draggie's Enhance is only 2.5x when the other slimes get a x3?

I mean I thought at first because Dragons have good attack but Attackers obviously also do so I'm like  :wat:
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Suikama on April 17, 2014, 03:02:38 PM
That team has literally almost 0 RCV. Like 400 or something. I don't think you can stall on anything with that.

King Flamie is a key party member on my DMeta team. Perhaps not the most necessary when I could fill the slot with another orb changer or attacker with row enhance, but the pleasure of easily dealing 7 digit damage with both DMetas alone is not one to pass on.

Now who to use them on...

Also considering just getting rid of my Odin skillup angels. Not a single one has given me a skill up and they're a pain in the ass to evolve. :/

a maxed skilled odin has only been useful as a 7 turn heal on TAMADRApurin's team, just to help survive a little longer

Yes, but healing on a TAMApurin team would be super useful! D:

So one more try for trifruits... stupid tamdra keeps binding my lead on the first turn. pdx says it only binds 10% of the time, and leader is only 1/3 of the team, so that's like.. 3.33% of the time, 3 times in a row...I just won the bs lottery!.

So anyway, fourth try.

TAMADRApurin's HP is ridiculous anyway, haha.

Anyway, it'd probably help if I had better monsters than the Demonw for subs, but since I don't own anything really good to take their place I'm kinda stuck with em.  Oh well, onto Dragon of Trailokya once my RSonia friends become available again.

EDIT:  Didn't get too far because I screwed up timing matches(tried to stall for skills but didn't kill enough stuff and had no heal orbs when a Mystic Mask showed up which could and did 2-hit me.), but it worked out because I found out I had Super Rubies to do.  Total haul of the two runs was:  5 High, 3 King, 2 Super(Both Supers in the same run.  First floor invade and the final floor.  Also had a King drop from the fixed spawns on F3 that run.)  My Lilith is now Lv. 25 or so(Awakened her once with the compensation TAMADRA) and now I just need to get Alraune fully awakened.

Unrelated to Hera team shenanigans I got RSonia to about Lv. 43(Almost 500k experience from the 7 Rubies I fed her, since I had one or two Highs from Technicals as well).  Good times.

Amusingly enough spending so many resources on my Tyrannos has proven to be useful. People are picking my tyrannos as friends left and right and one guy just messaged me saying "I LOVE U UR TYRANOS HELPED ME BEAT GAIA".

If nothing else, it's giving me a lot of PAL Points. Plus he currently has the highest ATK and HP stats of my team :V

Not really sure what I should run right now, I'm still trying to farm Carmine Masks for Echidna but that has been a waste of time so far :derp:

I could try to finish the tomb of the saint though, how hard is Hyperion Lava Flow?

@E:

Tomb of the Saint complete, thanks to Yukarin's Freyr. Boy did I scream internally when the combined powers of Rowdy Samurai, Meteor Volcano Dragon, Horus and Freyr did not manage to give me a high enough multiplier to kill Hades.

Thankfully I killed him in the following turn but you know.

@E?:

Decided to do ONE roll of the REM. Got myself a Hermes.

I was sort of expecting someone from the godfest and not the Gala of Tides but I'm not complaining. If I ever decide to do a mono-water team he'll certainly come in handy.

I'm honestly not seeing how the dungeon's doable with Blue Wood Fafnir being in there. :( Doesn't help that I don't really have a low-cost team to use.
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 19, 2014, 03:02:28 PM
I'm assuming get him to as close to 50% as possible then unleash everything.

AFAIK the water-change only applies to every attack after he falls below 50% so bursting him from 51% to 0% wouldn't be so much trouble, especially considering he only has 560k HP, which means that with Double Firedragon Tyrannos you would only need to stack 35,7k damage which isn't an impossible feat by any means.

Of course, the problem would be how to get him to 51% reliably without gravities and not getting screwed over by skyfalls.

Unless I've got it completely wrong on how double-element enemies work?
Title: Re: Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition
Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 19, 2014, 04:45:31 PM
Double element enemies work in the sense that once you deplete one color's HP, they change to the second element and all of their attacks afterward would be that element. So if an enemy is light and fire, the first 50% of its health would cause it to do light attacks, and the second half fire. Also worth keeping in mind that after 50% most enemies start using desperate fuckoff attacks so you never want to stay in that area. It's best to whittle them down and then burst the rest.

So since I didn't have Stamina to get into the Evo Rush when it was my time I decided to just chip away at Technicals instead.

Completely thrashed Hypno Forest, though the next dungeon should be kind of annoying since it's the water one for this particular tier.  After these I'd be finding Iris' Rainbow, wouldn't I?  Followed by the Conditional Dungeons?

RSonia makes a great RSonia sub, when you can afford the cost.

When awakened she's got Row Enhance for both her attributes, a bind-cure(row of hearts = 1 turn bind reduction), and 2 skill boosts, which are a pretty great combo altogether.  Double that, and, well...

I have too many tamas to try S-ranking stuff. My NA account is turning into my JP one. Meanwhile my JP account has a ton of stones. I'd probably have problems comboing anyway. I tend to clump things too much.

Or just be like me and be ok with slowly chipping away at stuff, occasionally taking month or two breaks or something.
I also have a weird sleep schedule(typically about 5-6 hours most days)and don't worry if I miss urgent dungeons and stuff.

I refuse to give them my money on principle because it's paying to roll a slot machine(since other uses are never worth buying, like extra monster box slots and such) which is just cruel.  I'll gladly use the tons of FREE stones to do those things though~

once you reach rank 168 it's much more tempting to use stones for Super King runs, which isn't a bad thing. Using stones for guaranteed "progress" on mobs you already have, or waste stones for a chance of another mouth to feed?

Max leveled my Odin, so it's fully awoken, fully skilled, and fully leveled. Just... the plus eggs.
