Puzzle and Dragon Ball Z - Episode 10

[OverlordChirei]

Start grinding Hyperion Lava Flow, I'm suddenly one million coins poorer just from + eggs costs alone!

What I do to avoid going broke is I wait until I have like 5-6 guys for plus fodder, then take one of them and merge them together. I do this until they're like +12~20 and then feed *that* to the main 'mon that I intend to receive the +. You'll still feel your wallet hurt, but not as much as if you keep feeding one at a time, especially at high +.

[commandercool]

Given that I'm only a few days in, what should I be hanging onto from my early drops? Is there anything I'm going to want for later?  What are Tamadras for and how many should I have? What about +1 monsters? How rare exactly are they, and how long should I wait before using them?

What all have you gotten from the Rare Egg Machine so far? 

TAMADRAs are special material monsters that won't matter until you have a monster in its final evolution.  At that point, most obtain what are known as 'Awakenings', special passive boosts to damage, HP, RCV, or other nice effects.  It seems common to hve a bunch when you dont need em, and never enough when you want them.  They're also worth 10,000 Exp.  (15,000 for Light monsters)

What dungeon are you in and what does your current team look like?  A decent very-beginning-game monster might be the Red Goblin(or Samurai Goblin if you evo it once) since it carries Attack Stance-Fire.  Likewise for a defensive option, the Blue/Marine Goblin is good for Defense Stance - Water.  They won't be useful past the first few dungeons, but at least it'd give you some orb manipulation.

Depending on how far you are some of that might not apply exactly as stated.

If it's 2 stars or less it's most likely trash that you're going to dump later, with the exception of your starter dragon if you're still using it. If can go to  3* and up, it might have a niche somewhere. It's really a case by case basis though. Don't be afraid to ask about it.

TAMADRAs are for unlocking the skills of your guys when they're fully evolved. They can range from stat boosts to free heals to taking the number of turns you have to wait for a skill to come the first time around. I wouldn't go out of way for them early on, in fact, if you know that a letter contains a tama, don't open it, or it'll take up space.

+1 monsters, are monsters with a bonus stat somewhere. If you feed a +1 to another +1, it'll become a +2 with both stat boosts. It's reccomended you concentrate all your +s in one guy. However, feeding +s is expensive, so try to minimize the amount of + feeding you do.

[commandercool]

What all have you gotten from the Rare Egg Machine so far? 

Sea Serpent. I've only used it once. I have ten magic stones.

Oh, okay. The game has given me one a day so far, and nothing is anywhere near fully evolved, so I might just feed them and hope I keep gaining them at this rate for later. Right now they don't seem to be worth the slots.

I'm on Demeter Forest. This is my team:

Sea Serpent 29
Brachio 13
Pyro Demon 9
Yellow Carbuncle 6
Black Fighter 8

It seems pretty terrible. Only the Sea Serpent and Pyro Demon have anything resembling damage output, but I haven't really picked up anything better to replace the dead weight yet. Or maybe I have and I just don't know what to look for.

So the evolution materials are easily replaced then? My box is mostly clogged with Dragon Seeds, Dragon Plants, Dragon Fruits, and various masks right now.

Oh, good call. I'll just stop opening the letters until I need them.

+1 monsters, are monsters with a bonus stat somewhere. If you feed a +1 to another +1, it'll become a +2 with both stat boosts. It's reccomended you concentrate all your +s in one guy. However, feeding +s is expensive, so try to minimize the amount of + feeding you do.

I have two so far. What should I do with them? Leave them for later? Combine them so they take up one slot?

[Mr. Sacchi]

Combine the + monsters would be a good idea.

As for the materials, Dragon Seeds are fairly useless past the first few levels, Dragon Plants are insanely important, because they evolve Pengdras which are the single best way to get monster EXP outside of Jewel Dragon Dungeons, though you won't get to that until you're past the Castle of Satan and into the Technical Dungeons. Dragon Fruits are somewhat important as in they're fairly hard to get but also aren't really used for much, they only appear in very high level dungeons or in the thursday dungeon.

As far as masks go, normal masks are easy to get, Demon masks are rather tricky, but doable, you should try to keep any Divine Masks you get because they can be fairly annoying to get (I spent 2 weeks farming for a red one) and Mystic Masks should essentially be hoarded.

Don't feed those TAMAs. Use like 5 magic stones on box space. Considering that we are long overdue for Egyptian, the next godfest might actually be worth it.

because they evolve Pengdras which are the single best way to get monster EXP outside of Jewel Dragon Dungeons,

Evolving Pengdra is not as effective as you might think. Getting the dragons and plants for it will take up a bunch of stamina which you might as well have used on doing T4/5 dungeons and getting the possibility of +1s and rank exp.
Also the best are globe dragons.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Well yeah, Snow Globe Dragons are the absolute best but come on, how often do we get one of these? :V

Unless you're actively asking for Friend Presents, of course.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I would say King Carnival at a high rank is best personally because at least those are farmable :p

[Yukarin]

finally evolved my DQXQ in my alt

yaaay

on another note please pal egg machine give me a devilit already

[commandercool]

Don't feed those TAMAs. Use like 5 magic stones on box space. Considering that we are long overdue for Egyptian, the next godfest might actually be worth it.

If I do that I won't be able to afford using the machine to try to fish for godfest stuff though. I only have enough points for two tries right now.

Also I just got a Baby Tamadra. What's different about that one? Does it do something different?

50% chance to awaken compared to a normal, can evo into a normal tama.

The next godfest might be worth it, but a couple of stones should go into box space now. You'll get some stones back next event anyway.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

In other words, evolving them is a hassle just feed those babies to your mons and hope for the best

I just noticed the current rare  machine conditions, decided that I was tired of sitting on these stones, and tried twice on the rare machine fishing for a good Light monster to replace my crappy one. I didn't get a light creature, but I did get a +1 Slyph and a Lovely Maiden, Princess Valkyrie. Are either of those any good? Valkyrie seems kind of neat, but she costs as much as my entire team right now, so I don't know if she'll be exceptional by the time I can actually use her.

Also, what are metal dragons for?

Are the snow globe dragons any good for battlin', or are they just food?

Should I be doing anything with the space invader-looking guys from the current collaboration? I got a blue one, is it useful for anything?

What are the odds your skills will power up when you feed something with the same skill? I fed my Pyro Demon something else with Bomb that I got out of the Pal Machine, but I didn't notice that his Bomb got any better.

Festivals are kind of terrible and not worth rolling for. I am like the one exception because I did that once and got both Chiyome and Shiva.

But ask me how murako fest went. Fucking ask me.

As for your pulls- Sylph is meidocre, tbh. She'll probably be somewhat useful and endgame her awakenings are p.okay. You can make use of her.

Blue Valk is... not the greatest pull at this point, but a stupid random lucky pull. Her active is great and as a leader skill you can make an easy burst healer team. So...yeah, that's not a bad pull actually.

Metal Dragons are food. Snow globes are usable 2x hp/Rcv leaders, but mostly food with how common those are becoming, the space invaders can be used as subs because they have some neat skills and at this point they're good for you.

Skill ups are 10% normally, 20% with x2. It's awful.

Ahahahahahahahah you got a valk so early :getdown:

Valkyries are great. Use her as you please.

Sylph is situationally good for its skill, I suppose?

Also, what are metal dragons for?

Literally EXP fodder. Small metal dragons are pretty much worthless though, at only 1000 EXP a piece. Just fuse them on to weak stuff.

Also sometimes used as evolution material.

Are the snow globe dragons any good for battlin', or are they just food?

Snow globe dragons have good leader skills (they basically have the same leader skills as the Archangel series, x2 HP and RCV for their color, which is pretty great when you pair it with a friend of the same kind), but overall have poor stats. Use them as EXP fodder on the same color. (It's 1,000,000 EXP at max level for off color, 1,500,000 for same color.)

Should I be doing anything with the space invader-looking guys from the current collaboration? I got a blue one, is it useful for anything?

For the point where you are, collect the red and green ones and evolve them. Double Attack Stance skills are super useful.

What are the odds your skills will power up when you feed something with the same skill? I fed my Pyro Demon something else with Bomb that I got out of the Pal Machine, but I didn't notice that his Bomb got any better.

Low. Very, annoyingly, extremely low. This is one thing that makes me really angry about PAD honestly, because it's so intentionally obtuse and difficult to do sometimes. Especially for REM monsters who only get skillups only from invades (aka "random appearances") in event dungeons. You'd be lucky to get one or two and extremely lucky for the skillup to actually happen.

EDIT: eh, chaore beat me. Whatever, still posting

[Bio]

poring tower returns!

[hyorinryu]

poring tower returns!

I thought we were overdue for it. Good hing I got another Valkyrie. Not I have a 2nd copy of every heartbreaker to feed. Got an Angelion as well as a 2nd Vampire Lord. If I feel like it, I can even feed yet another mermaid, but I already have three blue heartmakers, so I doubt I will.

[Suikama]

Saori, reincarnation of Athena
Healer / God
Active: heal to light orbs and dark to heal orbs.
LS: 3.5x ATK when below 99% HP

holy shit who needs valk

[Yukarin]

holy crap

dat god

[Mr. Sacchi]

So now we have Athena and her incarnation.

MAYBE WE'LL GET SEIRYUU, KIRIN, KOURYUU AND THE OTHER ACTUAL CHINESE GODS TOO GUYS!

(And obviously, Kirin is essentially a better version of Sakuya, because why not.)

Yes I'm aware this is of the Saint Seiya Collab, I'm just joking.

[Suikama]

holy crap

dat god

also she has light row awakening, skill bind resist, and TWO skill boosts

pretty much no reason to run valk over her unless you really need the low cooldown

[Bio]

So she's the 1% roll?

[hyorinryu]

also she has light row awakening, skill bind resist, and TWO skill boosts

pretty much no reason to run valk over her unless you really need the low cooldown

Valk would still have a place there as a sub(to break Saori's hearts,) unless you want to Patricia instead.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Poring tower is coming back omg

I am gonna get SO much revenge from last time and breeze through it

[hyorinryu]
