Title: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 05, 2016, 03:13:03 PM

Puzzle & Dragons is an iOS/android puzzle RPG.  It plays like a cross between Bejeweled and Pok?mon.  It's completely free to play, but has premium features through purchasable "magic stones," the game's premium currency (which can also be obtained frequently as rewards in-game), which allow for increased inventory, pulls from a rare egg machine, and more.  If you're patient enough the game gives you enough stones through special events and rewards that you shouldn't need to buy any.  (It's recommended you don't because most things can be obtained/beaten without spending money and some amount of patience and skill.)

You can control monsters from lowly slimes to even lowlier dragons to ancient gods and other mythological creatures dressed up as school students like Class Monitor Athena(above).  They all mostly have different stats and skills, allowing you to customize your team for any number of purposes.

Real talk though, the real reason to get into this game is because everyone else here is playing it and has been playing non-stop for the past 2 years :V , and probably won't stop for a long time thanks to the constant updates to the game and its mechanics, balance changes that never directly nerf anything and are mostly focused on increasing the viability of older monsters, and of course the endless addition of new monsters and collabs that are dished out on a regular basis.

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

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/

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

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

Cool :D
Now we just get someone to lock the old one so we don't have two running threads :P


EDIT: Oh yeah, you should probably mention something about how GungHo treats IAP accounts differently than non-IAP accounts in the case of a device loss or something like that, because that is kind of important.

Farming Keepers is slow business. I need 14 various Keepers, but only have 63 stamina. And 2 of the Keepers are Dark Keepers. So I need at least 360 stamina for all of those. Because I may not even get the Dark Keepers, because RNGeezus isn't always a generous man. So I probably will end up needing more like 420 stamina. And the Dark Keepers get harder and harder as I blow through Helpers. So probably more like 480 stamina is needed, assuming I fail a couple due to not having a half-decent Helper. Today is going to be FUN.

Dw, I'm sure somewhere in there Ichigo is part anime schoolgirl. Kubo just hasn't revealed it yet.

In other news, I keep missing latents. I dunno how many stones I'll throw at the bleach REM. All my favorite characters are silvers.

I'll roll a few times and save in hopes of Askin and Bambi in the future. On the other hand, in light of recent events, I want Kenpachi because his ult is likely to use another one of the characters I like.

If you hop on the IRC I can give you access to Valk for as much as you need her or something if she'll help make it more consistent.

Also, Light and Dark Keepers are more easily farmed in Rainbow Keeeper's dungeon if that's not where you were going in the first place.  You can probably very easily kill him if you can make it to him since he's also dark, luckily.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Hikarin on April 05, 2016, 05:03:15 PM
I probably won't need Valk; I'll see after I clear this run of the Rainbow dungeon. I'm doing the Rainbow Keeper's dungeon, for the Dark ones, too. I'm just saying that It's going to be a pain in the butt when Light Keepers start floating around (like right now : P), because I don't get the damage reduction or type bonus against them.

EDIT: Welp, nevermind about the Valk for now. Even the Light Keeper only does 3063 reduced damage. That Rainbow Keeper has been known to kill me in one hit, though, so I prefer a double Pollux or at least a high-ATK Helper for him.

EDIT2: Actually, I should be fine for a few more runs (until my pool finally depletes) because I have a total of 5 useful Helper monsters: Pollux, Ariel, Ariel, Osechi Mitsuki, and LDC Kanna. All of those give me enough firepower to one-shot the final Keeper.

Post by: Jq1790 on April 05, 2016, 05:06:39 PM
Ahh, I know that feeling. Earlygame I was dark-focused and needed a lot and took forever to get those keepers too.  So frustrating.

Aaah why am I doing this to myself. I've been messing around with the ranking dungeon using Verdandi for lack of anything better to do with my stamina, and once again all I'm getting out of it is making myself feel bad.

Cleared it in nine turns with just a few seconds per floor and still got a horrible score. I think a bit of it is that my phone is lagging at times (it seems to stutter significantly when I use Awoken Ra's active) but I doubt that accounts for much of it. I don't know how to do this any better, and my best is garbage. Lovely.

Have you turned on Simple Background in options (only doable outside dungeons)?  That helps significantly I believe.  Also the scores for this are gonna suck for most people, so what looks bad might not ACTUALLY be as bad as it seems.

I ended up with a 3.9% using Yomidora. Zaerogoo was a crucial sub because he effectively gives you burst for three consecutive turns while only using the time to cast one active skill.

Ten waves is brutal. I can't imagine Rainbow teams being able to process that many times in a row easily.

Post by: commandercool on April 05, 2016, 07:21:51 PM
I haven't tried simple backgrounds yet. If I do this again I will.

Scores give percentiles, so I can see that mine does indeed suck unless the estimation is extremely wrong. That's relative obviously, there are still plenty of people below me, but given how many people just run this no-effort for the stone it's trashy.

Hi op, please make my Sakuya asterisk and goldy and my secondary leader A Panda. I've asked twice before which seems to have become lost in the torrent of virtual age busyness. If I have to ask again, I think I'll start sending spam messages to every friend on my pad account to the extent of 50+ messages so that I will effectively erase and empty their mail boxes of their precious protected messages and unopened event/challenge gifts. Such is my pandemonic diabolicalness and unadultered evilness.

Purin is super orb hungry for 12.25x damage and he doesn't make any orbs himself
Contrast with Yomidora who effortlessly gets x36 for five orbs or Dizzy and Lizzy who get x16 for just existing

I mean, the HP of everything in this tournament is low enough that I could probably get away with Cloud/Ariel/???/Poison as subs, but

Post by: Espadas on April 05, 2016, 11:20:47 PM
At the beginning i was reluctant too, but about 2 months ago i took a very drastic decision: the game was becoming a bit too much like a chore, with all the cards that needed attention, so i decided to focus on only ONE color, the one that have most of my favourite cards and luckily was also my most developed: Dark.

Since i had no more reasons to keep monsters i didn't plan to use and i needed MP for buying Yomidra and co. i had no regrets in utterly OBLITERATING half of my box. What i was left with:

- Fire: literally only Echidna  :V
- Water: Mithril Edge + Folklore (just because they might become evo mats for something i'd want)
- Wood: my Verdandi team
- Light: my A.Sakuya team (+ A.Ra, A.Ama, Indra and Ganesha)

That had the happy side-effect of enormously cut down on the evo mats i needed to stockpile and clear up a lot of time and/or stamina to focus on my dark box.

I had a hyper Beelzebub once
once

I can get another one whenever though so I am not very bothered

I still don't understand WHY his uevo have a different AS from the previous forms.... how in the blazes did people maxskill him before?

I did a run because I was capped on stamina and had nothing better to do. Literally no idea what I did differently, but I'm much happier with that (it was much, MUCH lower before). Still not great obviously, but I can live with it. And my RNG even could have been a tiny bit better since my 40% blind resist only triggered once. And I forgot to turn off backgrounds before entering if that matters.

I used Verdandi/Sasuke/Liubs/GZL/Ra/Verdandi, if anyone cares or has any input on how to improve that.

Do you guys think adding team rarity to Ranking Dungeons, S-Rank style, would make them more fun? I understand it's not in Gungho's best interest to take away the whales' leg up on Ranking, but that kind of system would still reward whaling since whales can afford to keep unevolved REM cards around more easily and are more liable to be able to do thinks like stacking ninjas or something, not to mention the ability to stone for better RNG. It might homogenize the kinds of teams people would play since if farmable cards are good there's no reason for everyone not to use them, but at the high ranks they're already extremely homogeneous. I think it might be a big help and I can't really see how it would hurt that much, but I'm certainly no expert on Ranking so maybe I'm overlooking something.

I think that would still mostly benefit the whales since they have access to assumedly unlimited resources to make +297 crap cards, whereas normal people definitely won't now due to the restricted dungeons being banished. The real biggest thing is the fact that they can just stone for stamina forever.

Unfortunately, Ranking is one of those things that can never satisfy everyone due to this pay-to-win aspect, direct competition with other players for prizes, and the mere concept of skyfall. The real best solution is just to keep it fixed, which would eliminate a lot of the negative factors so that you'd only have to deal with skyfall and the whales having unlimited stamina, but still quite the chore if you don't have deep pockets.

Dual Gabes is never plan A. I was thinking Hermes, especially after Awoken Hermes comes out. We could theoretically even do NepDra/Hermes, which I think is mostly just a slightly better version of my current NepDra/Ryune teams.

Post by: commandercool on April 06, 2016, 02:42:11 PM
If you really want one I think your best bet is to look for Director's Carnivals that include ninjas. As an added bonus they usually contain Valkyries as well, and Reine is probably even better. I would kind of caution you against doing that though since Director's Carnival is a real crapshoot and you could screw yourself out of a lot of stones doing that.

Honestly Healer I&I is not really a friendly lead. They need a lot of rare stuff that comes from different places. It takes a ton of luck or a ton of money to use them effectively. You could devote all of your resources trying to put their team together, but I'm not sure that's a great idea. Many of the cards are useful elsewhere, but Awoken I&I is kind of considered the better lead and they don't necessarily completely overlap.

Yeah I'm not rushing it or anything, but I wanted to at some point get the subs for it. I mean, ATM I am 100% incapable of getting, say, a BValkyrie.

Honestly, I'm not that into AI&I, they have (IMO) not much more use (but certainly some amount more) then ETS I&I, for way more resources. They do similar things, it's just AI&I works as an attack-team lead/sub.

Okay, I guess I take back the thing about AI&I being too expensive for their worth. With AI&I, I could probably form a team with:
AI&I/Snow White/Siren/Jewel of Water ATM for nubs like me(Scheat for the cool kids)/Maybe Skuld?/BValk/AI&I

I think that would work. Especially with all the TPA flying around on there, it should have a decent mix of Healz/Offense.

Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Jq1790 on April 06, 2016, 03:35:07 PM
That is Awoken Archdemon Lucifer.  He gives 1.35x to all stats for devils and gods, along with 3x damage when you match 6+ dark orbs.

Also, Norse are not designed to be stacked; rather, find someone with Hermes(hi) or Ryune and you get a very balanced team, and AI&I's skill ensures you deal massive damage for two turns assuming you match one or more rows.  6.25X RCV is hilarious overkill so it wouldnt really help as much as extra HP or something with more power or other benefits.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Hikarin on April 06, 2016, 03:55:34 PM

And overkill isn't a bad thing, but I see what you're saying. I'll try to get subs together for that.

Dual Lucifers has a 1.8225x HP modifier, so it's significantly from that.

Well, it isn't really wasteful when it's a difference between a useful Helper and a useless one.

I mean, I might by the time I actually get this stuff together, but yeah.

Post by: commandercool on April 06, 2016, 04:22:50 PM
Yeah fair. In the long run you should shoot for balanced teams, or at least imbalanced teams that are imbalanced in a useful direction, but if you're doing stuff that doesn't matter regardless then yeah, do whatever.

of course, HP usually matters more in the short term, while RCV matters more in the long term

Unless, you're like Raoh or uvo Cloud where you just stack as much HP and ATK and hope you kill everything before your steam runs out.

I don't know what JP looks like right now, but we don't actually have a multiplier right now for Great or Perfect chance. In exchange for the 3x skillups we just have normal experience boost rates, which are fairly low.

TBH, I don't really think Hera-Ur Senpai stacks up to Hera-Ur much at all, but she's still cute.

But yeah, I call poverty hackz in the Powerup Fusion.

EDIT: Does JP have both?! Not sure, I can only sorta read.

Is it worth dropping stones for the DC machine at all? I mean, personally, I'd rather have a chance at GFEs and stuff, but if DC characters are that good, then why not, right? At the same time, though, I'm that guy who doesn't like American comics at all (okay, but the PAD rendition of BATMAN is pretty cool I guess), so I would only get them if they are worth putting on a team. I'm not exactly smart enough to know what all of those numbers on PDX mean comparing monster to monster :V

Batman and Robin is bad, but at least it's harmless. Batman Vs. Superman is an aggressive re-interpretation of the characters and a measured doubling down on everything that was horrible about Man Of Steel. It's an awful movie, but on top of that it's a statement in no uncertain terms that Warner Brothers/DC thinks this direction is a good idea and that they won't be budging from it any time soon.

Batman and Robin has a bit of 60s Adam West charm too that's at least a little bit appealing.  Not as much as Batman Forever, but enough to give at least a chance that it won't be completely painful to sit through.

I need to figure out a use for the rest of my +eggs from this event, because my current planned use for them is really, really dumb. Putting them in a Superman might be cool...

It is totally not Affleck's fault though. Fuck Snyder tho

I agree, he did fine. What a waste of a competent performance.

Fun fact: The charity party scene was filmed in an art gallery a mile from my office. Roads were closed for like a week and every local business has a story about Affleck eating there or whatever.

Hey all, we've finally got our Enhance carnival. Powerup Fusion your monsters away :)

In my fifteen or so rolls, I got a beautiful Queen Metal Dragon.

T_T so majestic.

And I likely won't bring myself to use it :V

Oh dont worry, you can just farm another from Super King Carnival when you can do that.

Enhance carnival was quite kind.  Maxed Set and Isis from fresh-from-REM status.  Now to get stuff evolved, because I have grown tired of the farm.

Guys I made you this.

Am I cool now?

It's okay, I never really use her. Available for co-ops though...

Yup, you are (C)cool. I was already using her when she wasn't pentamax, now i've got even more reasons  ;)

Huh? I must have misunderstood something because i had 50 rolls and i was barely able to bring Zuoh from 60 to max (feeding him everything).... how did you manage to max TWO rem gods?

Because otherwise it would just be hands-down the best color. You want to play the arbitrarily stronger color, you deal with the minor inconveniences. And remember that the other colors have to deal with shit like Kraken AND being resisted.

Ra Dragon is not an accident. It wasn't a misestimation or an overlooked obscure interaction, it was Gungho sitting down and saying "Let's figure out how to make the best thing in the game, but make sure it's only usable by rich people".

Although to be slightly fair all of the gratuitous Kali knockoffs are making it a little more likely to be usable by non-whales.

The irony is that it needs 2 dkali

Lol yeah.

Also, TWO? I thought they needed five now so you could skill inherit onto RaDra and every sub? ::)

I'd put green more equal to blue at best. Blue as an overall is a stupidly strong color, it's just kinda SMALL as to what you actually see.

Green was never really king shit of tri-color, honestly. It just has the most 'popular' leads, and very briefly had catte.


Red is a garbage color for losers though. We can't have a top-tier that doesn't need like 5 duplicate cards ever.

Yeah good luck getting me to look past "blue cards are just rarer for no reason lololol" when evaluating the colors. I know it doesn't make sense to count that when I didn't count the difficulty of getting RaDra's team, but that's what you get.

I think green's solid spread of support effects is worth a lot. They really hit all the nails on the head and I fucking wish red and blue had that kind of versatility.

Edit: So how does new DC Collab work? Are there just two Lex Luthors and two Doomsdays, or do the new craptastic ones replace the old ones?

Edit edit: What about Raoh? Does he stack one particular sub? Did we decide he sucks after all? I know a collab gold is kind of a bullshit answer to red not having a great lead, but everyone seemed pretty excited about him when he came out and he still looks pretty crazy to me.

He doesn't, but I don't think he really reached more than 'literally, literally all red has at this point.'

He's good and has a solidish pool though, yes.

I mean Ra Dra is literally a singular card. Blue is just having it's few key cards, which are specific, but pretty achievable really.

It's kinda 'Have andro or fucking bust', but even then honestly I'm really not convinced even what i've said is accurate of reality.

I'm pretty sure there are far more options these days, Blue just continously has this stigma from days of old (like, 90% of iffy factual statements in PAD) that has never washed away

If I recall people used to say they were worth 5-6 stones each or something, but now I'm not sure I would trade more than one or two stones for one, and even then that's only if it's a color I particularly want. They're common as shit now and I love them for it.

Depends on player imo.  I don't think they're worth as much as they used to be, what with everything getting skill ups and the skill up rates getting increased. I'd say 1-2 stones at most imo.

If I'm not mistaken a pii droprate is about 1.5% in the Alt. Dungeons, Unless I'm wrong that's about 1 pii every 67 runs and alt dungeons cost around 20 stamina so that's about 1340 stamina per pii. Assuming you start with a full stamina bar, that's about 7-8 stones assuming you're at around rank 300 and has around 165 stamina.

Thankfully, Piis are given out like candy nowadays so they're barely worth anything anymore.

Yep, which should knock off 1-2 stones off the calculation. So your estimate of 5-6 stones is correct.

It's still not really worth that much though, cause they're given so handily nowadays.

It's kind of amazing when the preferred method of getting something is to just have it given to us by the devs. Kinda says something about the RNG in this game.

Look, all I'm saying is, if you as a question don't be surprised if someone answers it.

Also, if stamina is very valuable to you though it's probably a good idea to use puzzledragonx.com to scout ahead so that kind of thing won't happen. I mean, if being surprised by an enemy that resists you is a problem then I imagine surprise god bind or big hits at certain HP thresholds is going to be a much more frequent problem. If you're going in without knowing what's ahead you kind of have to expect nasty surprises.

The hidden boon of leading with Pollux is that your damage resist is actually really strong, so you end up getting more "effective" HP and RCV.

Of course, Ariel is really strong on her own right as a lead. Triple dongs make anything viable :V

Oh, you definitely die, and the gold egg sits there on the game over screen taunting you to use a continue.

Most enemies have a form of GTFO attack that they use at low HP, and in my struggle with Freyr bound it seems I hit Gainaut within hundreds of HP left.

Belial was active, but it was still Gainaut who had the last laugh...

Gainaut is at skill level 8 of 11.

This is the least amount of fun I've ever had in PAD. Each run is a 15 minute slog with I&I/Ryune that doesn't deal damage until I use actives, plus the green toy dragon in the middle that takes FOREVER AND A HALF to get through, plus Folklore who loves to use Weight of the Tri-something just before Cattle Mutilation.

Would it be absurd to use Pys for the last 3 skill ups?

Are the awoken Greco-Roman 2 worth it? Their awakenings and stats are pretty lousy compared to their earlier ults and the AS/LS changes just don't seem worth it compared to loss of great awakenings.

On the other hand, Persephone gets Devil again. Hrm.

Are TPA Devils even a thing right now? If not, I don't think even she's worth, no, and she's on the better half of the awoken greco-roman 2.0

I mean, Awoken Ares has a lot of damage under his belt but that's about all he's got going for him, and the others are kinda lackluster for Awoken Evos.

I plan on picking up Awoken Ares since I have a spare, same with Awoken Perse, but I honestly think Awoken Persephone got the shaft here compared to the other Greco-Roman 2 awoken ultimates. D/R Persephone is a better Devil ult due to having God Killer IMO. Awoken Persephone is only a marginal upgrade to the D/R Persephone ult and only because of the improved AS.

I mean, Awoken Ares has a lot of damage under his belt but that's about all he's got going for him, and the others are kinda lackluster for Awoken Evos.


Awoken Ares has a niche in providing Red skyfall, something that basically doesn't exist in NA outside of Krishna (JP has Zetton and Bouya [both from CROWS Collab]) and having 2 TPAs with 2244 ATK is nothing to shrug at. Furthermore, being R/G, he can be another option for color coverage in case you don't run R/G Cao Cao or don't have him period. Red TPA is also more of a thing than Dark TPA

Do people actually like Awoken DQXQ? I'm looking at her now, and I can't say I like what I see. Having to lose to awakening spots to offcolor rows really quesitonable.  It seems like a toss up between Dq Qiao and the Awoken tbh. It depends on if you'd ratehr have Da Qiaos bind recovery or the Awoken's 3rd row. I was hoping Kanna could have a cool buddy too.

EDIT: Read it again and saw it was 5+ orbs. My bad. I wonder how many orbs they'll need for the full multiplier though.  100x empowered by rows is pretty respectable.

Double EDIT: Lately PAD has been freezing midmatch for me. Has anyone had this problem?

It's time to unveil my secret project.

(http://imgur.com/sEtKz3x.jpg)

I've been wanting to make a gimmick team around an Evangelion card as a lead since the moment I started playing, and I've always kind of assumed it would be Misato since she's technically the best lead. But due to recent-ish buffs my favorite cards all work as Shinji subs now. He's basically just a way worse Gabriel, so I think I can pull this off. My goal is probably going to be to beat every descend with him as a lead.

Here's the team I have for now (it's obviously not finished yet):

(http://imgur.com/c9jb8VQ.jpg)

I'd like to replace Kraken Rider with a bind clear eventually, but there aren't a ton of options unsurprisingly. Ruka would work and I may end up using her although she's extremely unreliable. Hopefully something eventually comes out to fill that slot, but that isn't really the team's biggest problem either way so I'm not suuuper worried about it. And in the mean time I finally have an excuse to use Kraken Rider and she is super cool, so good.

I plan on pairing with my roommate's Shinji when possible, but I'll use a Ryune friend if I need to.

okay so trying to practice one true God eater on endless corridors

I've never had a Kali active before, so using Gainaut for the first time was WTFFFFFF
Also Gainaut spawns hearts so it's a bit of "empty" matches there (which is funny because jammers are supposed to be the empty matches)
Moreover, Gainaut likes to spawn only four or five jammers. It's difficult to gauge my damage when the x25 for four jammers will eventually be x156.25 for four jammers and five colors matched.

None of my friend Fenrirs are skillmaxed so the jammer upkeep is a little taxing.

Can't wait to add Jormangandr and his double time extend.

When Jormangandr debuts, would a good Fenrir team be Fenrir/Fenrir/Awoken Amaterasu/Gainaut/Jorman/Fenrir?

Or maybe I'm weighing The Dark Knight Strikes Again too heavily in my evaluation, but that should count for at least a little. Not that I'm defending him mind you.

My limited exposure of batman comes from that one comic where he's insane and has a stubble and kidnaps robin on the flying batmobile (which was my first exposure to him, thanks to which I find any cleanly shaved batmen rather lacking). Also the Dark Knight movie trilogy and more recently, the court of owls comic.

Two of them he's crazy or goes crazy and one of them is a fountain of memes, I'm not terribly surprised to encounter anything at this point.

They actually could've slapped a hp mod and called it a change, since odin's D does have a rcv modifier. It'd be awful though.

Jormungandr and Skill inheritance have opened up new possibilities for bastet and those rogue myth plus dungeons are finally looking more managable for bastet!
Not to mention I finally pulled a Kaede!

Currently no-stoned Zaerog8 and Linthia.
I have Baggi on Bastet and Zhydra on Elize.
tbh out of the remaining four, Volsung probably seems the most possible next.
But I'll be trying to figure something out for the other three!

I suppose I can use Sadalmelik for actual cleric purposes when Andromeda gets hit herself?

Considering the abundance of skill bind resists on Awoken I&I and Alrescha, I'm not even bothered by Cyberdragons not having any SBR. <3

People shit on the ninja buffs, and they're not wrong to do so, but I gotta say I'm going to be glad to have all those glasses for ranking dungeons.

Also, I guess I never looked at Linka closely enough to notice how adorbs she is. Top three cutest PADs probably. I'm glad she's exactly as slightly underwhelming as she is because if she was just a tiny bit better I might be tempted to buy her.

Who do bindable mons even have bind clears? It's like the most redundant awakening to have if I have to bring like Sleeping Beauty to unbind my APandas to unbind stuff, which by then will probably have been unbound. What in the what the what-what, bindho.

Post by: commandercool on April 13, 2016, 03:01:20 PM
Bind clears on bindable monsters do still have uses. Subs can help with leader binds, they're useful for random binds or type binds hitting other cards, etc. Yeah, if you have an unbindable bind clear as well they're less useful, but stacking bind clears is always diminishing returns.

I suppose...
I've died like numerous times getting only my two leader APandas bound, then getting killed because of reduced health. I'm trying to imagine what the 'combined team health' could mean in a practical sense, like a team sharing health what? Maybe it's more like team morale, because it's not like your mons actually die, and then it would make sense for your 'health'/morale to decrease if your leaders get bound. But then my imagination runs wild and I'm like, then HP modifiers are more like CHARISMA modifiers, like "I'm on your team betch, get hype!!!!!    x1.25(2), woot woooot!!!!!", followed by all the puzzles and waifus/husbandos/furries/dargons getting sexual convulsions and flushed complexions and breezing through dungeons with increased 'morale'.

Wow that got weird quick.

All of Gabe's subs minions are real dumb and they panic the second they can't see his face. They have weak object permanence.

I'm not against angels in bondage, but I'd prefer they keep their hobbies off of the battlefield. Playing with the enemy is counterproductive.

Hey, there's some weird design space for Gungho. Now that we've got jammer meta how about bondage meta? Let's get a leader skill that scales off of number of bound teammates and a new drawback for actives that binds self or others after use. That would open them up to all sorts of crappy farmable Kalis.

Norns do not have a concept of good or evil.

They are primordial beings that transcend gods, and very literally hold fast the threads that keep the world together. They are natural, unaffiliated forces that embody the fate of all who live. When you die, they simply see it as a thing "that must happen", and cut your thread. Challenging that is equivalent to trying to defy universal laws.

Just keep in mind that you can leave the dungeon via the menu in the upper right corner and re-enter to get a different one. You'll lose ten stamina each time obviously, but as a nice bonus you'll get to keep the pal points even if you don't finish the dungeon. You could get all Shynpy if you wanted to by doing that.

Awoken Orochi (http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=2322). I have an ultramax one, just message me if you ever want to use him.

Gravity isn't necessary. This is how Friday dungeon works:

First floor: Everything is super soft but you lose if you don't kill them all. Just make sure you don't have an incredibly slow team, any combo activation for a combo team or one row for a row team should take care of it.

Second floor: Probably the most dangerous floor just in case the Dublits all spawn on two-turn timers. If they don't, chip them down with priority to the ones going soonest. If they are, hopefully you have a backup plan. An Awoken Ra friend could be good for this. Or you could just have enough HP to tank one hit which should take care of it 95% of the time, but synchronized enemy spawns with a bad board can still technically mess you up.

Third floor: If you've used any actives up to now just take this floor slow to stall them back. Chip the Dublits, although be careful the Tamadra doesn't spread his binds too thin and make that difficult. There's an art to doing this involving focusing one Dublit on the first turn, then focusing on the other one on subsequent turns and activating as many prongs as your team has. This should chip both of them down while leaving the Tamadra untouched. Then stall off the binds (this can potentially take a very long time if you're getting unlucky, and keep in mind that you don't need to actually make matches to remove binds so there's no risk of accidentally killing Tamadra) or use a bind clear and finish it off.

Fourth floor: You should have all your actives, so just win at this point using whatever means are necessary.

So all you really need is a way to guarantee you can finish off the first floor in one attack regardless of board state, and enough damage output to take care of the fourth floor with all your actives. It helps to have a panic button for the second floor and/or a bind clear for the third floor, but those are really just for farming consistency. They shouldn't come up often enough to actually matter if you just need to run it a few times to grab some Twinlits.

I'm trying to think of a single specific situation where that makes the difference between clearing something and losing and I got nothing, but at least it means Gungho remembers he exists. Aside from just as am evo material I mean.

My first time clearing Twinlits was done with an LMeta team which has a x12,25 multiplier. Any subsequent times were done with Vishnu which has an identical multiplier (although Vishnu also has prongs up his ass.)

x20 atk is definitely enough, especially with the gravities.

Also consider that this means that if you use a switch mid-dungeon, you now have to wait one less turn (and even less than that if you haste) to swap back. Since you can now use Beyzul in multiplayer, this also matters a great deal since skill charging is weird there.

Right, it does matter, although it's usually the case that you can either stall well enough to swap back or you can't. Speeding it up by a bit doesn't really change that very often. Good  point about co-op though, that'll be very handy.

I've said quite a few times that blue gets the short end of the stick in a lot of things. Maybe not the shortest end, but a short end. You know where blue gets off like a bandit though? Alt dungeons.

Probably the most dangerous enemy in alts is probably Red Cap, since alts love to spam him on like every other last floor and his skill delay plus his gravity is an extremely potent combo. Blue is super effective against him, so it's easier for it to one-shot him and avoid the gravity. And meanwhile the blue variant on Red Cap, Kappa, isn't particularly dangerous (especially now that his preemptive is nerfed) and actually feed you tons and tons of ammo. The green member of this series, Furi, is the least dangerous of any of them so even though it takes blue a while to kill her she can't really do that much.

Meanwhile, farming alts with green seems like it would be pretty irritating. Being resisted by Red Cap might lead to some random accidental losses, and being super effective against Kappa isn't that useful since it still slows you down with a preemptive and beyond that isn't that dangerous. Cath Palug is a problem for everyone, sure, but beyond that blue has a big leg up in current alts. Even white, a color super effective against the dangerous Cath Palug and not resisted by anyone, doesn't get the constant flow of ammo from Kappa and is instead slowed down by it.

I don't know what I was expecting with Hel's new evo, but I'm a bit underwhelmed. Like when you ask your friend for 'anything' when they're going out on a food run, only to receive like two cheeseburgers and medium fries or something. Was I expecting a seven course meal? No, but I'm still underwhelmed. At least the awakenings aren't terrible, they're pretty good. If only they could make her active less random or added something cool to her leader skill. I'll just hold out hopes for a sarasvati evo in this buff rush, having only 4 awakenings is pretty dismal.

Also I made one of my Pandoras Awoken and the other UUVO, and will be using both on my Pandora team, I'm just kind of sad that I have a very distinct lack of row-based Dark Devils.

There's a point where I feel that pad is being verrry generous lately and experience of a lifetime at 2x exp dots that 'i' for me. Though I suppose most of the rest of you don't actually even get a single rank up from it so I guess it actually works out for the older players.

I'm planning to try roll for pandora this coming gf, but which is better for APanda, another awoken or uuevo? I pair with lucifers often enough when he's up to justify the uuevo, somewhat, though I lose out on a row.

I made my second Panda super ultimate rather than another awoken. Partly it was for the extra RCV, partly it was because she was skillmax and I didn't want to lose that work. Honestly either one is probably a pretty solid choice as a Panda sub right now, but once that new hero buff that gives them Archangel-style heart enhance comes out I think super ultimate becomes the clear better choice.

It's funny how the Archangel actives were, aside from the colors converted, pretty much objectively better than the Heroes in that regard. It's cool to see them getting the heal enhance, especially since enhanced heal is REALLY POTENT surprisingly.

Archangel+Heartbreaker has been potent as hell since that original heal enhance buff came out. For a while the worse active on heroes was kind of a tradeoff since they had much better awakenings, but now that the angels have solid awakenings it makes sense to have parity I guess. And making the choice between super ultimates and awokens more real certainly keeps things interesting.

How likely is a reincarnation evo for the healer girls at this point? Has the meta progressed enough for it to be a possibility? I feel like the traditional spike teams are too squishy now and phasing out, which would allow for Echidna to get an evo. The other healer girls I feel also have some sort of better alternative. White valk has mini valk and claire has her bikini outfit.

White valk has mini valk and claire has her bikini outfit.

I think it's very likely, let's look at the facts:

Echidna's Active Skill is already very strong.
Siren's skill is just Guard Stance, but it's simple and fast, and therefore effective at what it does.
Lilith's Poison already got a buff so it's now an enhance as well, so it too is good for what it does.

Alraune and Archangel just got very strong buffs to their skills, putting them at even power with the other three in terms of active skill. Yet, they did this despite their stats being so low weighted.

Reincarnated Evolutions don't get a different active skill, so it seems the buff to those two was merely groundwork for what might be coming. The last set of "4th ani" buffs will come in May, which is soon. After that... we can only guess.

Post by: commandercool on April 15, 2016, 07:02:11 PM
Wait, are you counting valkyries as healer girls? As far as I know "healer girl" just refers to the farmable monster girl healers, not to anything else.

So I wouldn't expect reincarnations for the Valkyries since they're still actively getting frequent buffs and frankly they're amazing. I've been expecting something big for the monster girl healers since they're so iconic. I'm hoping the Christmas variants weren't supposed to be that big buff since they're still a little weak, especially Echidna who is the most iconic. Reincarnations would work well, I hadn't thought of that.

Post by: Mеа on April 15, 2016, 07:06:09 PM
Doh I'm an idiot, those examples aren't healer girls, but I did mean the healer girls and no, I didn't mean the valks. The valks seem pretty good where they are, except for perhaps want of an sbr. I feel like if a collab special variant has one, then the normal one should also get it too, I mean they're pretty much identical, the claires.

One True God-Eater.
I'll be using JP's current 2.0-2.5 bonus for a few examples here instead of NA's 1.5-2.0 because FUTURE.

He's a weird mixture of "Jammer" and "Rainbow" for sure. Before the Rainbow buff, you had to run primary dark because three jammers only gave you x16. BUT you could use things like Persephone and multiple Fenrir uses and it would work out.

Now he can get x6.25 just for matching five colors and x16 for three jammers, making x100 possible on many many boards. Gainaut and Jormangandr are to Fenrir as Kalis are to Awoken Ra in that sense.

You can still use Persephone on Gainaut boards, too. Heavy dark board with R/G/B/J means you can get x64 or, if you're lucky and get more jammers, x100+ still.

Or you can just pile on jammers and go for obscene multipliers that way. Certainly some enemies will do that for you, like Speedster Hermes in Zeus Mercury or Zhou Zu's waifu. Makes things much easier on you. Bonus points if they leave 4 colors behind still, or if they only convert heal to jammer.

As far as subs go. As long as you have at least one of Jormangandr or Gainaut and the  rainbow colors, it seems you can run whatever you want or need. Unlike Awoken Ra or Ra-dora or Ascooby Doobis, Fenrir's raw power is dependent only on jammers. You can still focus dark and run Persephone, or you can take advantage of Blue's utility, Green's damage reductions, Isis/Amaterasu/Ceres/Kirin for clerics.

Now that the second Fenrir is skillmaxed, the ability to burst is rarely an issue. Their jammer skyfall usually gives 3/4 jammers for the next turn, so three Dogs rotating on 5 turn CDs is fine. Even Gainaut has a great 8 turn cd for a "DKali + Jammer" board if you need that rainbow damage badly.

His stats are pretty good. Top of the class ATK, 3000 HP is very acceptable, and 200 RCV is salvageable. I've not had any issues with durability yet.

Basically, as far as normal turns go, think "Awoken Ra" damage until a turn comes where you use many many many jammers.

His critical weakness? Skill delays. Sopdet.

edit: the dream is to hit 9 jammers at once with five colors for x625 multipliers. One day, I'm sure.

addendum: for Awoken Horus folk, the combination of Gainaut and Antares seems pretty powerful

It's the weekend again, so I'm going at the Legend tier Weekend Dungeon, but I can't seem to replicate that near-success run from last weekend. I've evolved I&I, gotten Australis (lead) to Awakening 4, and died on the first floor. This is my Tricolor team:

The problem is that pretty much none of your monsters are affected by the leader skill. Unless I'm reading Australis' leader skill wrongly, it only affects machine types, which is to say, only herself. Meanwhile taking christmas echidna only affects herself and I&I.

Out of curiosity, what was your starter dragon? You can probably make a much more solid team out of them and just about any RGB cards.

But i use her only for some farming, and for that my current team is more than ok..... and i could use that wood exp + tamadras for dark monsters!
And his AS is basically useless as inheritance for dark teams......

i'll sleep over it but 90% he will become MP

Oh, actually, instead of running a starter dragon as a lead, should I lead with Leilan? That gives me 3.5x ATK to two types instead of 2x to just one.

Not to mention that  I think it applies to all types, it just occurs when any of the three listed types are erased.

Hold on, i thought Australis was a guy, is this another Tsukuyomi case ?

Honestly I have absolutely no freaking idea, Australis could be male for all I know, after Noah and Starling I have absolutely no fucking idea.

Next up GungHo will come out and say that the Numbered Dragons are all actually female.

I started with Plessie, but now I have a Firedragon Tyrannos, too.
Neither are Uevo'd

The evo requirement for Tyrannos' first uvo isn't that bad. You can make a relatively solid team out of farmables - since you already have Laila, you can pick up a Rowdy Red Samurai Goblin (or gigas if you're lucky) and probably have more than enough firepower already to deal with the weekend dungeon. If you have any other red cards you can put them in too.

Basically, just make a monocolor team with a simple leader and go to town, you should be fine so long as said color is RGB.

@EDIT

Oh, actually, instead of running a starter dragon as a lead, should I lead with Leilan? That gives me 3.5x ATK to two types instead of 2x to just one.

That depends - R/G or Awoken Leilan? Cause if not you won't be able to activate since Leilan needs Light orbs to activate as well.

(Also, I'm pretty sure the Chinese Girls affect all attributes.)
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Hikarin on April 16, 2016, 09:52:06 PM
I have R/G, but it specifically says,

"3.5x ATK when erasing any of the following Orb types: Fire, Wood, Light, or Heal"

I just tested it in EC and it was working, so long as Leilan was attacking, too.

Post by: Jq1790 on April 16, 2016, 09:54:14 PM
Yeah, R/G Leilan can play Tricolor dungeons because of hearts, same with Awoken.  That is part of what makes those two forms so good, same with the other non-Sakuya Chinese girls. Just need fire and wood along with hearts, which R/G fills on her own.

Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 16, 2016, 09:56:01 PM
Right, sort of. R/G Leilan and Awoken Leilan (Alongside the Awoken and non-twinlit uvos of the other chinese girls not called Sakuya) can activate by matching three of the colors listed. If you had the twinlit uvo or the non-uvo forms of Leilan then you would be forced to match Red, Green and Light to activate. Since you do have R/G though, you can match Red, Green and Hearts and get the same result.

That would be R/L or unevolved Leilan.

Yeah, due to how few orb types there are in tricolors it's easy to go from "barely doing much" to "sky falls, everyone dies" in like five seconds.  Note that you will also take 30% less damage from two thirds of the enemies which will probably prove preeeetty handy.

I've said before that I think the Chinese are the best starter monsters. Really wish Gungho would just do away with the starter dragons and let you pick a chibi Chinese as a starter (and make the chibi Chinese evolve into a real Chinese). They're great at teaching important skills and they're useful at every stage of the game. But they're at a premium so I doubt Gungho would ever agree to give them away to everyone for free. For anyone lucky enough to pull one early though, I think they're a great option.

Although I disagree with letting the chibi chinese evolve into the actual Chinese, I pretty much agree with the rest - and really, who the hell even cares about the chibi chinese anyway? They are REM silvers dedicated to just padding out the gacha system so that players whale for the actually good stuff. Make them starters and nobody would really complain.

Heck maybe it would even make GungHo buff the starter dragons and finally give Pterados and D'Spinas their second uvo.

Well the idea would be to create these new dragons as the new starters so that GungHo would be able to justify keeping the name of the game without really changing anything about it :V

Although the actual Sakuya Dragon, as an MP Dragon, would probably be like "All att HP/ATK/RCV x1.5, ATK x7 when matching four of the following orb types: Fire, Water, Wood, Light, Heart, Jammer, Poison & Mortal Poison. All Att. ATK x1.5 at 5 combos, up to x4 at 10 combos."

I do realize that adds up to x42 ATK, or x1764 with double leads. That's intentional.

Well, as i said i kept something just in case (basically my only 2 not-dark team that at the time were already maxlevelled and mostly maxskilled and a few utility subs)

I think i already wrote them down in the past but just for the sake of clarity, my not-dark monster box is LITERALLY comprised of:

Fire: Echidna
Water: NOTHING  :V
Wood: Verdandi - Liuuu Bei - GZL - Marine Rider - Cu Chulainn (my Verd team)
Light: A.Sakuya - A.Ra - Lkali - Lkali - A.Ama - Valk - Ganesha - Indra (my A.Saku team + A.Ama for utility, Ganesha for coin, Indra in standby to see if the awoken  AS is usable for inheritance)

I've been Jormangandr for the predra floor for all of these myth plus, with the exception of Volsung where I Sunburst Knuckled these predras so I can poison cheese through Volsung's perseverance. So yea, he's been a great help and the reason I even thought of starting going for myth pluses. (and also baggi loop happened)
The other green choices are all true damage collab golds which I don't have. His cost is a bit too high for rogue purposes but he do have good stats and awakenings for a farmable.

GZL is MVP for this one, his def break+enhance is how I break through salamander's red hp 2.5mil def while still having Jomundgandr for predras, and his enhance is how I can one-shot Gainaut's 12m red hp because I can't stall this one out even with Baggi-loop.

So your reaction as a Water user to my utter lack of water cards is..... to incinerate me with fire?  :wat:
Tsk, Gabriel would be so disappointed, commander!

Pretty much everyone has a Amaterasu, even a certain pesky Dark user. :/

I like "pesky Dark user" a lot.... might even put it under my avatar  :D

Ok so just now. An enemy survived with a pixel of hp and I totally thought I had missed that they had a resolve. So I did a one combo on an off color, and lo, enemy doesn't die. It wasn't resolve, he just literally had like a pixel of health left. That I didn't chip off with this nonsense combo.
Aaaaand dead. There goes 50 stamina.

CCool is mostly a stall-team player, which would be completely fine if stall wasn't effectively a playstyle that only gets the middle finger in this game. Pretty much every dungeon is designed to require insane amounts of burst and yet also be a pain in the ass to burst down. If that wasn't the case I'm fairly sure CCool wouldn't even use Beyzul on his team - just as much as I wouldn't absolutely need Wangren on my eventual Red Stall team.

CCool also hates green enemies with a passion for rather obvious reasons, and Vishnu is the ultimate fuck you to just about everyone ever, blue and red teams especially (but mostly blue). I'm pretty sure CCool once spent around 100 turns trying to deal with Vishnu before finally going down because let's face it, Enemy!Vishnu is a dick.

Blue has one big thing to fight Vishnu, and a lot of big bads surprisingly
Orochi :V

He just hits unreasonably hard, you can't burst him down in one turn, and while staying just below the threshold of 1 million is easy (enough) for most colors, blue has to consistently go at the 2 million mark to keep up with Vishnu's healing at all.

And ccool playing a stall team
does not go well with the enemy constantly healing

I think the farthest ccool could push the stall idea in modern dungeons would be to field the B/R puppet and slap the entire team with Fire Resist Latents. But obviously that's another 250,000 MP and latents to gather and that's no fun.

Post by: Mr. Sacchi on April 18, 2016, 10:10:01 PM
The fact that puppets can't be skill inherited is also really dumb, it's basically the ultimate "fuck you" to RGB teams gungho could've given, at least as far as Skill Inheritence is concerned.

This is true. It's less about the recovering HP and more about the resist, but yeah. I mean, I can accept that recovering is his gimmick, but the fact that he's green is what makes him virtually impossible. If he wasn't I could beat him fairly easily.

I going to blindly assume that Gabriel isn't the best water team there is out there. Does Vishnu counter a good majority of water teams or just Gabriel and a couple others?

No, Gabriel is not the best blue team. Not even close I'm sure. There are certainly better blue teams that can beat Vishnu, but they tend to be kind of whale-y in my experience. Meanwhile, Gabriel is becoming less strict to build since Reine is no longer really necessary, Snow White is easy to get, and the proliferation of rows means the Sun Quan slot is now a flex slot that could be a few different things.

Since Friday; it really is pretty awesome. Even better if you've got an Ares, Artemis, or I&I to skill up (I remember CRAB used to be Hermes at one point but I guess it isn't now?)

I don't have any of those actually, but incidentally I've been playing Groove Coaster a lot lately. It, uh... Isn't like the collab at all. :V

CCool is mostly a stall-team player, which would be completely fine if stall wasn't effectively a playstyle that only gets the middle finger in this game. Pretty much every dungeon is designed to require insane amounts of burst and yet also be a pain in the ass to burst down. If that wasn't the case I'm fairly sure CCool wouldn't even use Beyzul on his team - just as much as I wouldn't absolutely need Wangren on my eventual Red Stall team.

CCool also hates green enemies with a passion for rather obvious reasons, and Vishnu is the ultimate fuck you to just about everyone ever, blue and red teams especially (but mostly blue). I'm pretty sure CCool once spent around 100 turns trying to deal with Vishnu before finally going down because let's face it, Enemy!Vishnu is a dick.

Oh, it was well over 100 turns. And as far as Vishnu being a fuck you to everyone ever goes, again he would not be a problem at all for Gabriel if he wasn't green. Gabriel would barely be threatened by him if he wasn't green. He would take a lot of actives to beat so he might be a serious problem if the next floor requires a quick response, but he doesn't even theoretically require a leader swap. I have to assume this means similar bulky teams with similar burst potential don't really care about him that much. He's definitely a fuck you to spike teams, but tank teams packing a decent delay and decent damage handle him extremely well despite his regeneration. At least I assume they do, on paper they do, but I can't confirm because I've NEVER FUCKING BEATEN HIM. >:(

Also, let's not forget Awoken Meimei's complacency in all of this. I couldn't even bring Beyzul into that dungeon where I fought him for over a hundred turns because I HAD to bring NepDra to deal with Meimei. And again, if she wasn't green I could just burst her. Although I acknowledge that she does resist multiple colors so she's troublesome for more than just blue, but she resists blue the most. And stacking two massively, ridiculously bulky green enemies in the same dungeon is bullshit. At least skill inheritance theoretically takes care of her, it totally doesn't for Vishnu since I can't inherit fucking puppets.

Edit:
Cmon ! That was just a small vent ! Yea, i get it ! Water get resisted by all Wood Atts. ! But other people here run RBG Teams too, even i am making and running a Skuld Team and building a Wood Row Team, i know, you have bad memories of being att. countered alot of times and on very important stuff, but others have too, and they aren't complaining about me complaining that i had a hard time with a enemy that kept trolling me and made me waste 35 turns just on dealing damage for it to be healed.

What I'll say to that is, if you NEED built-in double damage to beat Doomsday then you've probably got other problems. Fair enough if that's just not bringing weak leads into the dungeon to get pal points, but relying on having type advantage isn't really that productive. Being resisted is one thing, but just not being super effective is another.

And I didn't decide Gabriel was husbando before I pulled him, I pulled him and then he became husbando. I recall that I was actually fishing for I&I that day and I was a little disappointed to have him at first. I've said this before and I'll say it again if I have to, don't get too attached to cards you don't own. I did that with Andromeda, I still don't have Andromeda, and it was basically just a huge waste of time and resources. Figure out which things you do own are good, then get attached to them.

Edit edit: Oh yeah, and as far as most people not harping on your every time you bring this up goes, I'll say two things: One, most people just run white or black and don't have this problem. That is because they are superior colors that get free handicaps for some reason. Two, I'm just busting your balls to some degree. Don't take it TOO personally. ;) I do actually mean everything I'm saying here, but it is in part for humor.

iirc I convinced ccool to try the super experimental and hipster ~*~leader swap~*~ because there was little to no precedent for it at all

It only so happened he had most of the pieces and JUST got Gabriel when he was asking "What can I do with these mobs" or something to that extent

Something we don't think about as puzzle pieces are the mobs we get from the REM, seeing how they fit together. And we gradually accumulate pieces - some are coveted for fitting in many teams - but you  should never reject, say, Archdemons and their counter abilities or Ninjas (forget Wizards tho srsly)

Can totally confirm that I would NOT be Fpurin Fanatic if (I think) Edible hadn't changed my name to it I hadn't rolled him in the Hello Kitty machine. Similarly, I hadn't thought about Jammer meta at all until loloops two Fenrirs in my box.

Drop rates are TOTALLY a thing you can complain about, though ;)

Everyone can complain about daily dungeon RNG. There's a reason I don't run them anymore unless we're talking tuesday dungeon :V

And yeah, pretty much, you can't get attached to cards you don't have exactly because the RNG is strong with this game. I wouldn't absolutely love my Horus nearly as much as I do if he hadn't been my very first REM roll, similarly I wouldn't love using Vishnu to farm or be currently working on a Pandora team if I didn't have all of the pieces for them.

Heck the only reason I use Vishnu at all is because I just so happen to have a pretty top-tier Green Attacker team, which I could make even better if I just fucking got Kaede already but I don't so I work with what I have.

All of this is part of the reason of why I'm so reluctant to sell REM only cards, keeping them around has given me a lot of different teams to work with, even if I'm not currently making progress towards really any of them (other than plussing my horus team).

You sure did. I've wondered before if I ever would have figured this out without you helping me, but no, I probably wouldn't have. Makes me wonder what other weird cool teams might be hiding in my box that I just haven't decoded yet.

Maybe it's just contrarianism, but I've been enjoying ninjas a lot recently. You know what I haven't been enjoying lately? Wizards. My dumb Shinji team has a slot that Sharon could even theoretically go in, but I'm using Kraken Rider instead because fuck wizards.

Yes. Yes you can, because they are buuuull shiiiiiit. And everyone knows complaining helps.

It wasn't well, the Floor 2 Dublits always got me, and since A: my Sakuya Team EXP is pretty low and B: The Team can't stall for the ASs due to 8-80 style damage, if i could just skip Floor 2 i bet i could do it, but i'm thinking of running a Wukong Team there (that is, once jq or someone else get a Wukong running well, heck, even a regular evo max skilled wukong would serve.

If I recall he is delayable, so delaying him before you hit him hard (or just one-shotting him) should take care of him. But yeah, between Raphael and him (https://cluelessramblings.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/evaepisode10.png) that's usually a descend newer players struggle with for a while.

Dual Monkeys should be able to oneshot Sandyphone. If you can't one shot him, take an enchilada with you, or christmas angel if you have her.

Even a single turn of delay breaks Zaerog's resist. He still burns turns of it even if he can't go, so you can get a turn where he has no resists at all if you delay him right before it's about to run out.

Pretty sure it was. I remember trying to roll for Sharon back during the first time the Christmas REM showed up and  Matsy was just like just take any of my 8 bajillion Sharons.

I think that's the exact reason as to why they won't be getting ults any time soon - not enough of a following behind them.

I mean, otherwise ninjas would have UUVOs, Guan Yus would have UVOs, Light and Dark starter dragons would have split ults and the Dragon Emperors would have proper Uvos.

Meanwhile and speaking of congratulations(!) and silly projects, Shinji takes the first step on his journey through PAD.

On the contrary, besides his dad appointing him to saviour of the world, I don't remember any time a connection with a female got him anyplace better. His dad made him top dog, and then all the women took turns dragging him around on a leash, is more like it.

But anyway, I finally did it, my heart is still pounding. Took me two hours, the first hour for failing multiple times and the second hour for scrutinizing my every move to survive, but I finally beat Scarlet. There was a point at the penultimate Scarlet where I had to burst but couldn't because my whole board was flooded with reds for some insane reason, there were a total of 9 blacks and greens, and a total of 3 lights and heals. If I couldn't burst this turn, I was gonna die. But I couldn't, so I had to heal up with the one three heart combo. I was so frantic and I pulled up the calculator which said I needed to make 9 combos if I only had a single 3-heart combo to live her next attack. Which took me a quarter hour of paranoia and rerereretracing moves until finally committing. But I did it.
Woo. Boy.

Does anybody have a nicely formatted list of all of the descends in the game? Preferably in release order? I was thinking PDX did, but theirs is actually kind of a mess unless I'm overlooking a better one.

The Descended tab seems to be in order.  (http://puzzledragonx.com/?dir=1)

That said, it doesn't include Zeus, Hera, or Two Heroes anymore for obvious reasons. And anything of the "Enhanced" or "No Dupes" or anything other than Normal is in a separate list than.

That is what I was thinking of, I guess I just couldn't find it. Thank you.

I'll find a more permanent place to put this later, but for now this is my progress report for Shinji's Big Adventure.

I'm pretty worried about Kaguya, Wadatsumi, Mephisto, and Xuanzang. I'm not anticipating anything else being too bad, and those are technically possible as far as I know (although I'll have to de-evolve for Xuanzang which is irritating). Is Dragon Zombie slated to get unrestricted at any point?

Also christ, are we really only four descends behind JP now? Have they considerably slowed their release schedule for descends? Now that I think about it I haven't really heard people talking about new ones in JP that much recently.

A couple notes:  Dragon Zombie IS unrestricted; the Descended Challenge we have is a version JP got before the restrictions were removed, so it's in the old style; newer iterations are Dragon Enhanced.

Xuanzang Descended, meanwhile, does not exist. nor does Sha Wujing & Zhu Bajie Descended.  Both of those are covered by Journey to the West from now on.

Aaaaaw shit, that's good news. It's slightly weird that PDX still has the Journey to the West components listed then when they don't have Hera or Heroes listed, but I guess they didn't technically get demoted into another category, they just got retired. Thanks.

Supergirl X Saria seems legit
Being able to get Orochi's full TPA damage is a boon of Fenrir for sure
Hysferzen is better than we give credit for. Huge HP stick and damage reduction, plus defense breaking as a bonus?

I don't think there are many Supergirl leads out there, though. At least Saria is popular.

Supergirl ult when? :|

darling, once you go dog, you never go back

Supergirl functions similarly to Archangels v2. X3 attack for matching any two of R/B/L and an automatic 1.5x ATK and RCV to Healers and Physical (of which a LOT of Light is either healer or Physical). Her active skill turns the left and right borders into Light and Water, respectively, plus a haste for good measure.

Now that she has doubledongs, she's "good" tier IMO but man only 4 Awoken skills is suffering at this point.

So Team Shinji's weaknesses are pretty much as expected. Which is to say, binds. It has no way to deal with binds and can't really hit hard enough often enough to always be able to just blast past things that might bind me. And also as expected I'm pretty much never finding myself using Kraken Rider's active. She's not skilled up which doesn't help, but she's just pretty weak in general. I'm considering replacing her with Snow White even though she isn't an attacker. Hypermax Snow White stats vs. 1.5x Kraken Rider stats is relatively comparable except for damage (although the damage is kind of important actually since the team is so weak), and Snow White's active is a million times more useful.

You're in the OP now, but remember to always list your main leads when asking for this kind of thing. (For the record, you're in the list but no leaders listed.)

Meanwhile, this x10 descends has been a blessing, I finished plussing my Ame No Uzume, my Awoken Tsukuyomi and am almost done plussing my LKali (5 RCV eggs left.)

After that I gotta make a choice: Which one of the two do I use on my Horus team? Rozuel or GOdin? GOdin gives me more bulk, but I certainly already have enough of it, Rozuel gives me emergency healing and more damage, but significantly less bulk (which has been a massive blessing for this team).

Your only real options are to spend all your mythril at the REM during godfests and sell all your dupes, or whale.  I don't recommend the latter.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Hikarin on April 21, 2016, 10:21:05 PM
Well, you can whale, assuming you have an income, but IMO, it usually isn't worth it, as you'll likely get trolled out during Godfests (which happens anyways), or you'll sell stuff for MP, and few of the MP Dragons are worth real, hard-earned cash. Not to mention, grinding (again, IMO) kind of adds to the game's charm, so whaling all the time isn't really any fun, unless you actually need (and have a decent chance at) a certain monster. I guess whaling once in a while is okay, but if you go down that route, restrain yourself heavily so that you don't get desire trolled played.

Oh christ. That sucks.

Uh, don't. Mid-rank players aren't really supposed to have a ton of MP. You'll rack it up over time, but I wouldn't worry about trying to farm it. The only half-decent ways of doing that that we have right now aren't really accessible to low-level players, and even if they were your time is probably better spent just accumulating REM stuff at this point.

If I'm not mistaken we'll eventually get an event that boosts the sell rate for REM bosses and at that point there are a few rushes that give decent MP when farmed, but you'll need a decent team before then to take full advantage of that. And you probably won't get a decent team by just trying to farm MP.

Tip:  Don't stone when you die.  If they can kill you once, they can kill you again. 
and again.  and again.  and(etc)
  It's frustrating, but you'll get the stamina back in at most 2 and a half hours from most dungeons so it's not a huge loss if you end up flubbing.

Monster Point Value Guide(Does not include collab REM rates because I don't have all of them memorized):
Dungeon drops(non-boss):  1
Boss(biweekly-style dungeons, like the paired machine dragons, flower dragons, pirate dragons, etc):  5
Descend Boss:  10
*Sometimes you'll see members of the latter two categories as midbosses in later stages.  Their MP sale values remain 5 and 10, respectively.
----
*REM MP rates are based on the monster's BASE form rarity, REGARDLESS of what form it comes out of the REM and/or you sell it at.  (i.e. if you get an evolved form of a 4* card it's still only worth 3,000 MP)

4*: 3,000
5*/6*:  5,000

5*(Godfest Exclusive):  15,000
6*(Godfest Exclusive):  50,000
------
PreDRAs(aka farmables/earnables designed specifically for selling for MP; might also be skillup fodder but use as such is not recommended):
Baby PreDRA:  100
(color) PreDRA:  500
PreDRA:  3,000
Grand PreDRA:  10,000
(supposedly there is going to be a King PreDRA or something I THINK, but details as of yet are unknown as far as I recall)

Post by: Monarda on April 21, 2016, 10:29:02 PM
Most of us have acquired a great amount of Good Subs and Leads of many Atts. and kinds.
You just need to save all the stones you get from Events, Clears and the likes, then wait for a Godfest with the kinds of monsters you want.
Heck, some great cards are even farmable, you just need to build the team right and have patience.

tl;dr: Don`t use continues, don`t stone for stamina, just save up those and wait for that GF, you`ll have like 25 stones to just go nuts and roll like a madman.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on April 21, 2016, 11:00:11 PM
don`t stone for stamina

I agree that continues are almost never worth it, but stoning for stamina is not necessarily a bad thing. You don't want to abuse it at lower ranks because you just won't get as much bang for your buck, but there are absolutely, absolutely times when stoning for stamina is a great idea.

PreDra Infestation and 10x descends are chief among them, but also sometimes Tamadra dungeons or even in rare cases when farming for skillups can be totally worth it. There's a certain critical mass of trashy godfests where you get nothing for your 50 stones where you realized that the REM is not always the best place to spend stones. You almost need to do some REM, but you can get a shitload of latents and monster points from PreDra carnival for the same five stones that you'll probably get trash with from the REM. And given that latents cost more than one REM god gives in MP, it becomes a pretty great deal pretty quickly.

Edit: And while I just said you can farm MP from PreDra Infestation, and you can, it's still not really equivalent to just being able to grind out a big monster point purchase. It still takes a long time to accumulate enough points to do anything that way. They're more of a very nice bonus than the main attraction.

Ragnarok buffs. I'm interested in using him, but am unsure how to build a team.

Canopus with a skill link sounds good. Maybe take Awoken Bastet's skill?
G/B Puppet covers blue but would obviously cost another 250000 MP.
Spica converts heart to wood for ~even more damage~. Two SBR is also invaluable in this case because neither Puppet nor Canopus have a SBR.

Still need a way to cover red and hit that fifth SBR. That seems to be DKali's void to fill, but for nonwhales I suppose ~Gainaut~ will have to do. More jammers for Spica to convert, too.

I just need. 550000 MP and a Spica. I'll get right to it.

Friday Dungeon is a mouthful.

Using Wukong/Saria is proving to be effective, but still failed 3 runs.

First one was because i forgot Echidna :V
Second and Third were to Floor 2  cause not maxskilled and couldn't stall at Floor 1.

They really did this to annoy people right ? Just like the color fruits one.

There was a time when people called these the "endgame evo material dungeons". They were originally meant to be done with complete endgame teams. They've been demoted to late earlygame or early midgame, but they're still dangerous. There's not a floor in any of them (except maybe the demon masks in Wednesday Dungeon) that won't kill you if you're not careful.

Rewards from the last ranking dungeon are in. Got my Grand PreDra, I'm happy. It really is a shame to ever let one of those guys pass by.

I'm pretty much at the point that I could make another MP purchase right now if I dump a couple of spare godfest exclusives, but there's not a ton I want. I am considering Ragnarok, but I'd have to do a lot more research. Or maybe a puppet, although I'm mad I can't link their skills... And I want 2-3 skill delay resists at some point. Do we have any kind of timeframe for when to expect those to go on sale?

Yeah, Ilsix is a piece of shit. Pretty much need that bulky meta (or a hefty shield) and even then it's not super easy. I can't even really get close to beating him on challenge mode.


Starlight: Keep in mind when fighting the Tamadra that you don't actually have to make matches against him to time out his binds. You can just shuffle two orbs back and forth for dozens of turns until you get a good result.

And at least you know you weren't going to drop the drop you wanted on that run...

Do you have white Valkyrie? Being able to turn around any bad board and make it work is kind of an important part of any good team. Especially on the first few turns.

Kali shouldn't be on that team unless I'm overlooking some weird utility she has. I'd say remove Kali, go get Rose, and give it another go when she's ready. Losing skillboosts sucks, but you're apparently not using them early anyway and you'll still have a decent number. And thanks to her recent buff Rose at least has one now.

Nope, can`t really run The Goddess right now, need some more stuff, Kali is in there cause i don`t have anything else in terms of Rows an as a stat stick, also the AS helps out, i`d put Venus, but she has no awakenings, not UEvo`d and is still lvl 20.

This is almost one of those very rare times when I would recommend using continues to go get a Rose, but she kind of needs to be skillmax to be worth it and Poring Tower is nowhere to be seen. You shouldn't really need her super ultimate at this point, but yeah, skillmax is kind of the point of her. In the long run though I'm guessing she's probably going to do more for your team as a sub than Venus will be.

It`s cause she`s so cute and adorable, and she would synergize so well with my Skuld Team with her U/Y Board AS, also 3 TPAs and unbindable along with a True Damage Buff and CD Buff to AS.
Kinda like a waifu, but as a daughter, so Daughterfu. :V

Post by: Mеа on April 22, 2016, 06:40:40 PM
Hate to be a wet blanket, but as far as I'm reading up, famiel isn't exactly an ideal sub on a skuld party. But it's still your choice if you want her, I mean. I don't play norns so I don't know for sure, but my guess is you would either want green subs or non-green subs with quick orb changes, some other utility function, or at least good HP. Famiel might be unbindable, but that seems about it, she doesn't even have a row clear to make use of that. Skuld probably needs her recovery to live, making binds pretty dangerous.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on April 22, 2016, 06:49:34 PM
Yeah I'd be comfortable calling Famiel a dubious-tier Skuld sub. People disagree with me on this sometimes, but stacking board changes on top of board changes is really counterproductive. The upside is that Famiel is a heavy-hitter on prong teams, but there are better options that have useful actives as well as decent awakenings. Not the worst idea ever, but pretty far down the list of things Skuld wants by my estimation.

Also, about getting a wvalk, I checked the poring tower page recently because I needed to skill up my dvalk, and I noticed that it's on around a 3 month cycle. Or at least that was the trend. So if gungho feels generous, we maaaaay be getting that soon, in a couple weeks, since the last one was late January. So get her while you can, she's worth getting, even stoning for early on.

Hmm, well, in the Bind Clear department, i already have Snow White, so that isn`t really an issue,  and regarding B/G, there`s A. Isis, who is also on the Carnival, Muse as said by CCool, Sun Quan (AS won`t work very well with all the team), Ars Paulina (Who has no natural RCV), Apex Blue Flower Dragon and A. Viper Orochi, there are a bit more, most of them are pretty good i admit, i`ll see about it, but i can just say that even Chirei said he doesn`t really care about if the subs have Wood type/subtype, and he`s the known Skuld user And Skuld Tsundere Lover around here.

Ehh, i dunno, i`ll just roll and be whatever the REM Gods wish, the daughterfu factor still applies and outweights all.

Post by: commandercool on April 22, 2016, 07:26:29 PM
Just for the record, here are some Norn guidelines. These are very common pitfalls that a lot of people fall into when making Norn teams.

-Norns are not good Norn subs. Neither are Chinese or other boardchanges. Two boardchanges is almost too many, but any more is very wasteful.

-Don't feel constrained to using subs with matching subattributes. Two Norn leads counting their own attributes is a decent stat boost already. Having more is nice obviously, especially since some cards (Awoken Orochi) were handcrafted specifically to be Norn subs, but just matching main attributes is fine if the sub is otherwise a good fit.

-Norns are designed to work with farmable cards to some degree. They're not a REM sub contest. Skuld gets the short end of the stick here unfortunately since her grimoire is kibd of sketchy, but she can still use plenty of other farmable options (Siegfried). Don't feel like you have to stack REM cards just to do it.

-Your utility slots are at a premium, so flex slots are probably necessary. Because Norns require orbchanges to even out their active they often don't have room for an enhance and a shield and a bind clear. Double duty subs like Fairy Tales or Dragon Swordsmen are great, and be prepared to have a rotating cast of non-permanent utility subs.

Edit: Please note that I am not a Norn expert. This is very basic advice stemming mostly from my attempts to fix my dumb friends' trash-tier Norn teams.

No it isn't.

Fifth attempt she pulled green resist, but I skyfell into a dark attack during my burst and Ryune hit her back to life. She apparently skips Draco-Summon Dragon Portal and Draggie at low health too, so she just instantly killed me. There is literally no way to get around that coin flip. If I get a black skyfall I just lose, no matter what. Yaaaaay...

Post by: commandercool on April 23, 2016, 04:18:10 AM
I could probably pull 16 million with a NepDra friend, yeah. But I kind of need Ryune for other reasons. I think losing the board change would hurt my chances more than gaining the extra damage would help it. And I tried but 16 million with just Beyzul+Ryune isn't quite possible without luck. With one off-color skyfall I dropped him down to insta-kill range in two of my earlier runs. That's why this would be easy with NepDra, he could hit 16 million no problem, but husbando needs his due fiiiiiirst...

See this is why it's  bad habit for me to abruptly wake up out of a dead sleep and then immrdiately start posting: I read " dark is always absorbed" as "the absorb never runs out" rather than that it always gets selected and I typed up a big long thing about how that's not the case, but I get it now.

Yeah, I think you cam deal with that. I mean clearly... And I could counter that by saying that the two colors that always get absorbed are also the only two colors that are super effective against her, so it's certainly not like you don't get anything. Plus, you know, the tricolors are guaranteed to be resisted by one Sonia and maybe several more floors besides.

The desire sensors are real, I spent an hour and a half -so 6 mil- on the evo coin dungeon to try and get one single dark dublit, got 5+ of every other color I don't even understand I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. It just BLOWS my mind. Never again.

On the other hand, I finally got the d/r haku to try out on sonia gran reverse. Does the double killer actually do 9x damage? Or is it still only 3x? The numbers fade away too quickly for me to be able to tell.

I'd gladly trade her for your Amaterasu. :V

Because as soon as it goes down her 50% damage reduction goes up. As I said earlier, I just barely fall short of killing her with two rows and one skyfall once she has her shield up. She always has some kind of defense buff, and dark absorb is the most manageable one for this team.

It may be random which defense boost she gets, but I got the 50% reduction every time first. And the other ones are even worse, so it doesn't really matter that much. Regardless, after her absorb ends she immediately gains something else that's even harder for that team to handle.

Anyways, Ruel. Green devils isn't too fleshed out, but. Awoken Artemis, Awoken Freyja will get you some TPAs. G/D Meimei has those sweet God and Dragon killers.

Ruel's active skill is a little dubious compared to Ariel or Rozuel. You might get more mileage fielding Awoken Freyja for the G/D enhance and focusing on a balance of Dark and Wood devils, of which there are plenty of dark devils willing to oblige.

I honestly wouldn't use her if I pulled her. I'm perfectly happy with her being a friend lead. Don't really see that much merit in Ryune/Ryune. But she is badass.

Don't own Artemis or Freyja. I've got Meims, but she's Awoken now. I might consider swapping her though because those new awakenings are niiice.

I'm not really committed to leading with Ruel actually, she doesn't seem like a great lead. I was just wondering if there was a team out there that could make effective use of her kind-of-bad active.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: The Greatest Dog on April 24, 2016, 03:10:15 AM
There might be a time where only the leads are targeted by a bind? Fighting Michael?

tbh Lumiel and Famiel have true damage to kill him

The other HP boosting green leads are Sylvie and Astaroth, who are far more row based than TPA.

I can see Ruel working for... Karin if you happen to use Zeus Mercury or Noah for SOOOOME reason?

Ruel needs a buff like "Enhance wood orbs" or true damage like Famiel and Lumiel tacked onto her active skill.

Creating 3 orbs of one color is nice and spammable - see Grimoires, Kagoogs, Ariel. Three orbs of two colors each is difficult to work with. It might give Awoken Bastet more combos to work with but I don't know what else. It's too unpredictable.

Usually, though sometimes I remember to switch something out(usually Orochi, occasionally SQ for like Alrescha or some such depending on the stage (and ANeptune comes out for Rushes)who I probably should have brought this time.  DMeta is basically cemented in because of my lack of better dark coverage.  Considering raising an Indigo maybe, though random spawn actives make me nervous with a color match lead like Karin.

I seriously need Andromeda or Gabriel though, like...yesterday.  My ability to clear stuff would skyrocket more than likely if I had one or the other.

The team is actually sort of squishy though vs fire and light under normal circumstances(24-25kish HP)it just so happens all but one card is a dragon so I got a huge stat boost in here.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on April 24, 2016, 03:56:55 PM
Oh right, I forgot about the huge stat boost. That makes sense.

How do you burst with it? Is it just a matter of using Karin's active and hoping you don't get too few blue orbs, or is there some other way? And what kind of damage does it do? I could see Chinese with some rows hitting pretty hard if you can get things just right, but it seems like getting to that point would be tricky.

It's no longer hard since they have their heart activation back, but you do need the subs.

I can do close to ten million before elemental weaknesses with no enhance.

You basically nailed it, ccool; in my case I basically pray to the seven stars, and otherwise have to clear orbs well enough on my own to get what I need done.  Satan is stressful sometimes as a result of this, among other things.  Usually I can stall through especially troublesome things if I can't just murder their faces off.  Sadly my lacking changers means I lean on my defensjve actives a lot, so bulky status immune light or fire enemies are pretty scary stuff.  I might have better options in my box, but a lot of my water stuff isn't really Karin-compliant(see: Hermes, Sumire sort of because of the trollage possibility, etc).

Edit:  Wow I feel like an idiot.

There was a time when I considered Zhao Yun to be the hardest descend in the game. So I was pretty happy to see Shinji completely wreck him. He's not so bad now that row teams just get way more rows so even low-multiplier blue teams can one-shot him with enough actives.

Last night was a GOOD night.
First i finally maxskilled AA Luci, then i got another confirmation that i really should stop doubting the power of my own teams.....

Remember how i often griped that i couldn't find a good team to clear Scarlet?
Well, last night i had 50 stamina to burn so i decided to try what is rapidly becoming my go-to tactic when dealing with supposedly hard dungeons:

A.Pandora "steamroll mode"

(http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b599/Ciofecantes/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2016-04-25-05-42-24_zpsxemlfgmu.png)

Cleared it first try  :V
Her tankiness/firepower combo is ridiculous, even at low levels. When i got to the final floor, Panda+Loki+DValk dealt over 30M......
And her reward was the badpy she won for me XD

On a different note, reading Setsu's blog made me realize i've been a moron regarding Seph all this time. While i DID find a good solo team for him, i neglected to think about multiplayer (understandable, since i NEVER co-op'ed until now)

What are the main problems of Seph? SBR (which affect color coverage's choices) and total HP
AND WHAT ARE THE MAIN FEATURES THAT ARE SHARED IN MULTIPLAYER?  ::)

I guess my point is, if they made more non-collab ones, then they'd be less inhibited in making good upgrades for them. Like the mystic knights and etc.

I like the idea of less premium mp monsters since they might be able to get a better variety of stuff out there. Like mons that don't have to be top tier leads but can be decent subs or something fun to play around with. Of course, they start it off with a kali clone but we.

Updated my YouTube channel with some new videos.

Semi-budget push-button team for Tengu Mythical-level stats on Yamato Challenge 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jAwORf9PRQ), you only need 1 Rodin and 1 Goemon for this to work. If you don't have Surtr and/or Shiva Dragon, just use Urd as your leader with Ares in Surtr's slot. Tengu's inherited skill is Burst Bomb (regular Kagu). If you don't have ANY Rodins, you would need to have a 2nd Tengu with A.Ra's skill, but this team can still work with 0 Rodins. Goemon is the only essential part of this team to work, and he's farmable.

I like the idea of less premium mp monsters since they might be able to get a better variety of stuff out there. Like mons that don't have to be top tier leads but can be decent subs or something fun to play around with. Of course, they start it off with a kali clone but we.

Arguably they started with puppets,but they're not that much less premium.

...assuming they are unlucky enough to roll everything besides an LKali with the amount of rolls necessary to actually get 100kMP that is. And that's assuming they even sell all their stuff.

Fully possible, yes. I've passed that on JP by far already. :v Not to mention predra invasion exists and all.

I'm rank 547, rolled the REM an innumerable amount of times over two and a half years. Probably amassed 500,000 MP with the stuff that I sold, would easily have more if I didn't desperation purchase a few jewels and TAMADRA.

No sign of Kali from the REM despite having dupes of Byakko, Gabriels, Persephone, Sonias, Alrescha, Godins, Suzaku, Neptune, Kirin...

I'll gladly use economy versions like Gainaut or dump 100,000 MP for it.

Imagine how salty someone'd be if they bought that and then rolled the real one like right after, haha.

Oh yeah, hadn't crossed my mind. I hope then that they wouldn't simply make this cheaper line a 'hey, down on your luck with the rem? Well here's a replacement' thing. Because then they wouldn't see use if you land the thing you were replacing it with.

How high can Evil Dog (Fenrir) go anyways ?

Cause i was doing some Denebola shenanigans here and it hit me:

6 * 6 * 2.25 * 3(God-Killer) = 243x atk. :V

This is with 6-link jammers and 1 fire TPA match, not counting the natural combo multiplier.
I guess Jammer Meta will Jammer Meta.

Post by: The Greatest Dog on April 27, 2016, 12:56:22 PM
Fenrir can get x10 (x100 for dual) for matching nine connected jammers. Impractical in most cases but the option is there.
In JP, he gets x2.5 (x6.25) for attacking with five colors.
Thus, the potential for damage is x25 (x625). Feel free to add in God Killer against whatever you're fighting like Kali in Arena or something.

As a closet Sarasvati fan, I'm secretly hoping something good comes her way without screwing up how cute her current evo looks. I can't tell if she needs one or not since I haven't actually fielded her yet, but seeing as there exist Arena clears of her, I'm not too expectant.

Or did we hear something about what to expect? And also which sengoku are you talking about? People can't seem to decide whether it's referring to the ninjas or the samurais.

We haven't heard clues as far as I know, but I don't follow PAD out of this thread really so I could have easily overlooked it. I suppose we could draw inferences from patterns and precedent too.

As far as I've been aware Sengoku refers to the samurai.

Highlights of today's Descends

Guan Yinping has that one red ninja that makes jammers. That's aight.
Zhao Yu's waifu basically killed herself again.
Osiris is the sweetest guy ever. Alternates between giving me a row of jammers and columns of hearts? New husband confirmed.

Medjedra really doesn't know who he's putting in the leader slot sometimes. Going from the "Jammer + rainbow lead" to "Rainbow + Jammer lead" like no big deal just keep doing what you were doing.

Twas was my impression as well, and so others too seem to use it for the samurai. On the other hand, pad wiki and pdz refer to the ninjas as sengoku and the samurai as the samurai gods  :V

e: I'm not sure whether to be underwhelmed and confused by the descended boss 10x mp sell price or be really excited. And it all comes down to, will this apply towards the ones that sell for 100mp (zaerog, scarlet, nordis, among others)? The facebook page only casually mentions that it will apply to a few 'select' bosses. You know, being able to farm drops that sell for 1000mp apiece sounds too good to be true. I'm going to be skeptical and realistic about this.

Oh, no, I mean in the latest JP update. They updated the selling prices of descend bosses depending on their subjective "difficulty". So, Zaerogoo will sell for 50 while Hera sells for 15, for example.

Ugh, took too long to post, I'll post it down here in case you miss it.

ok, I looked through. You have quite a few developed cards, while I have like close to none. The first 5 should be easy enough for anything to handle, but this is what I've come up with.
Basically, my 'viable' leads list comes down to: Kirin, panda, bmeta or valks, Kushi, ayomi, Izanami, Akechi. Also technically I have a fenrir that I just rolled that's underleveled. So the possible pairups look like this:
Roah/AA Luci x Panda, viable for earlier levels for the devil bonus
Bastet x Kushi, combo multiplier
Ammy/ZL/Elia/Kanna/purin x valks or bmeta, more or less unconditional multiplier
Yomidra/Castor x Akechi/aYomi, the match exactly 5 dark orbs with one enhanced leads
Fenrir x Fenrir, though I'll have to primarily play support
Isis/Sakuya x Kirin, rainbows

watchoo think?

Roah/AA Luci x Panda, viable for earlier levels for the devil bonus
Lucy X Pandora sounds legit. My Devil rows is a bit lack luster but I can turn one of my D/G Persephones back into a Devil if it comes down to it.
Bastet x Kushi, combo multiplier
Probably the easiest to work with. Between things like Susano, Liu Bei, Ceres and Kaede, I have plenty of utility subs.
Ammy/ZL/Elia/Kanna/purin x valks or bmeta, more or less unconditional multiplier
Perhaps, even my Supergirl could be used here? 4.5x attack and 1.5x RCV for healers and Physical is nothing to scoff at.
Yomidra/Castor x Akechi/aYomi, the match exactly 5 dark orbs with one enhanced leads
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE DAY I CAN LEAD WITH CASTOR. Pairing with AYomi should give firepower, and Co-op + Castor's bulk should be great for our durability.
Alternatively, I could lead with Hamal if we're having trouble recovering HP, since she has that odd "Heart TPA" leader skill and higher offense

Fenrir x Fenrir, though I'll have to primarily play support
tbh the no-dupe restriction means I can't use my second Fenrir as a sub, so that'll kill the jammer momentum. I'd love to co-op Fenrir sometime, but it probably won't work here.
Isis/Sakuya x Kirin, rainbows
Gainaut X Kirin for a free DKali board and that sweet Co-op Boost Awoken skill ;)

nevermind that Gainaut comment, though he's still a fabulous sub for Kirin

I mapped out plan for challenge lvl 10 for dual apandas that I need someone to help fill in

mons:
APanda APanda (fl5)
Orochi (fl5) (or echidna)
Akechi+Haku (fl4)
Akechi+Haku (fl3) (or any other bursting equivalent)
Diza (fl2) skill must be up for use on fl2!
poison->dark (fl2) (I have an anubis, but anything works)
someone who can make many dark orbs (fl1)

The basic plan is to kill everything in one hit, except for vishnu in two hits
These calculations were done with my normal dark team, so once I can collaborate with how mons are going to be distributed in the party, I can figure out the new min combos and max combos.

fl1 (8orb row + 3orb dark) (11 dark) + 2 extra

fl2 poison->dark 30 orbs, this one shots
USE DIZA SHIELD

fl3 (8orb row + 6orb row) (2 dark rows, 14 dark orbs) + 0 extra necessary
must have hp > 38k
but heal up for fl4's preemptive

fl4 (8orb row + 6 orb row) (2 dark rows, 14 dark orbs) + 3 extra
or  (8orb row + 6 orb row + 3 orb) (2 dark rows, 17 dark orbs) + 1 extra
13k preempt, 8k with Diza up

SAFE COMBOS: (KEEP UP TO OR UNDER):
(Note, the flex is the 'extra's bit)
(use the # of dark orbs on left to figure out how many flex combos you can make to keep under 1mil damage)
(flex means: any color combo not dark!)
(To be safe, try to stay at least 1 flex combo under the number listed under extra)
(These are calculated without enhanced orbs, take off 2~4 flex combos with enhanced orbs)
for...
1 6orb dark row:             + 29 extra
1 6orb dark row: 1 3orb dark + 16 extra
1 6orb dark row: 2 3orb dark +  9 extra
1 6orb dark row: 1 4orb dark + 12 extra
1 6orb dark row: 1 4orb dark + 1 3orb dark + 8 extra
2 6orb dark row:             +  5 extra  !!! AVOID, dark skyfall danger
2 6orb dark row: 1 3orb dark +  2 extra  !!! AVOID
2 6orb dark row: 1 4orb dark +  1 extra  !!! AVOID


(Better to use above 6orb rows instead, unless very much lacking in dark orbs)
(because you still want to do damage)
1 8orb dark row:             + 10 extra
1 8orb dark row: 1 3orb dark +  5 extra
1 8orb dark row: 2 3orb dark +  1 extra  !!! AVOID
1 8orb dark row: 1 4orb dark +  3 extra  ~~~ danger
1 8orb dark row: 1 4orb dark + 1 3orb dark + 1 extra  !!! AVOID

2 turn ko
use delay, 2 orb converters, probably the 2 lead pandas

e: correction, must have hp>42k since fl2's beelzubub has a preempt that we won't be healing from as well.

I can co-op and provide an APanda, but I'm slightly unclear from that post what you  would need from me. I've got a hypermax Awoken Orochi, two skillmax black Izanamis or black Metatron, and the contents of my Pandora team (being hypermax APanda, Super Panda, Hanzo, Zuoh, and Loki) all maxed. I don't really have that much more black row stuff ready. Does that help?
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Mеа on April 29, 2016, 04:47:55 AM
Didn't clarify what I had oops. If you have hypermax orochis and dizas, that means we won't need my weaker unmaxed ones. Whichever of either her or meta you like more we can use. Preferably the one with no dark orb enhance awakenings since that can complicate calculations.
So besides the delay and shield, if you have a way of bursting on floor 3 or 4, that would be perfect. I'm guessing zuoh x super panda? I forget if zuoh had god or dragon killer, since that may complicate things.
Giving you both the utilities might affect your damage output so I might take one of them. Probably the orochi if it seems he may break 2mil with an unlucky tpa skyfall.

So it seems as of right now, apanda super panda, zuoh, shield and orochi. Can you let me know their pluses an and latent eggs?
Some switcheroos between us may be necessary here and there.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on April 29, 2016, 05:05:14 AM
Awoken Pandora: +297, rainbow resists, skillmax
Cruel Bleak Night Goddess Pandora: No +, one RCV latent, skillmax
One Eyed Black Demon Beast Zuoh: HP +1, five HP latents, skill level two (can be skilled up further with Badpy if necessary). Does have Dragon Killer.
Pacifying Yomi Goddess Izanami: HP +1, no latents, skillmax
Arbiter of Judgement Metatron: No +, no latents, skillmax
Awoken Viper Orochi: +297, five HP latents, skillmax

You tell me what to bring, and let me know if you need stats from anything else. My PADHerder should be very roughly correct regarding what I have at least, if not exactly what state everything is currently in.

ccool, do you think it would be possible for us to take down Lv10 with Karin/Nepdra?

With just her reduction, DQ Hera's preemptive does a little over 40000, which we can easily survive at full health. Though I think I'd need your nepdra up now if possible so I can damage test.

Do you still have your Satsuki? (or Castor)

e: @ccoolaid: I've attached a pdf outline of the conquest strategy, take a look at it and tell me what you think
I ended up going with your Orochi instead of mine since I didn't realize I only had  the NY tengu, so I can't evolve to awoken. Whoops.
The only somewhat tricky part is Vishnu, as expected. Rest is smooth sailing, more or less, with a very low chance of massive rng trolling if either of us ends up with only 5 off colors when bursting. Skill boosts are shared so we should have everything up to go, we'll have 16~17.

Yeah sure, probably. Seems the actual burst would be sketchy since my current orbchanges aren't that Karin'friendly, but if you can figure it out I'd be happy to try. He's up now.

I do have Satsuki and Castor. Satsuki is more or less ready to go, Castor could probably be maxed out as necessary but currently isn't evolved. I'll look at the plan in a bit.

Just FYI for anyone looking to team up, I'm goibg back to sleep for another half hour or so as of right now, then I'll be at work until ~5-6 PM EST. Then I'llbe more or less available after that.

Gabe and Reine are pretty friendly. I know we'll want at least them and Orochi for Vishnu, I'm not sure who you want to use for the last sub, though. I guess your choice between Snow White or Alrescha.

Is there some form of direct communication we could use when we try this? Would probably make this a lot easier for me to lay out the strat.

She activates once more matching 3 of Water/Wood/Dark/Hearts, which means Gabe is compatiable again. Just don't use a heartbreaker directly after Gabe and you'll be good.

The link in my sig just has a web client to the general pad channel which needs no installation, just type in your name and go. But if you don't like web clients you can just DL a regular IRC client and connect that way.

That's fine, I've got a bunch of stuff to do myself and probably need to stone 20x Mechdragons to egg up Andromeda before we try this. Want to be as safe as possible.

Are you talking about the mechdragon's fortress technicals? Those are more bountiful than descends? I thought drop rates were normal even if the plus rate is at 20x.

They are, and I believe on average it's just a bit short of say, Kanetsugu, but pretty easy to farm and a technical possibility of getting 10 plus per run (I've gotten 9 before.)

I guess I'd probably prioritize Reine, though all things considered order shouldn't matter that much.

Midgard is probably a decent bet for a shield since I think Skuld really wants HP. Blue has very poor shield options unfortunately, but the golems aren't terrible.

Paulina is unfortunately not great, and she arguably doesn't fit Skuld that well. Skuld needs HP so being physical is nice, but she has none of the stat that Skuld gives a huge multiplier for. Might work better hypermax, but Christmas Paulina would probably still be better if you happen to have her. I use Christmas Paulina occasionally to make my blue teams into rainbow teams,she's good.

Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on April 29, 2016, 07:03:02 PM
I will advise against relying too much on AVenus' CTW skill. Not only is hers extremely short and inefficient, but later on, you'll likely have access to things with a bunch of time-extend awakenings and you'll be getting more than 6 seconds of matching time, which is far better.

Yea, Sanctuary, and yes, first clear, cause he hits hards and is tanky AF, so A. Drake/Waifuterasu or Thoria Proto didn't do well.

And although it isn't very good, i don't have much in finger department either, only LKali has one and Wukong demands more Angelits, i'm eagerly waiting for the new AS patch.

Also, i'm gonna take part in a Rally, so no PC for me.

The two slots you display to non-BFs are your first slot and your currently selected team. That means you have her in the first slot and you also have that slot selected. To maximize coverage try to make sure you have a team other than your first one selected whenever you're not in-dungeon.

Pretty sure that's how that works anyway.

Edit: And for best friends the same principle is true, but they get to see your second slot as well. So for maximum maximum coverage also try not to idle on that one.

I realized just now, I think I have the potential for some kinda pretty terrifying TPA team with Vishnu in tow.  Maybe...

Verd/Kaede/Vish/AFreyja/CuChu/(whatever friend lead suits me at the time)?  Maybe swap Freyja out of my side and put in something else like Kushi or Asgard for utility and lead with a friend's AFreyja, etc?

I still really want another Artemis though so I can make an Awoken one since most of those TPA cards would play well with her. I'm just not willing to give up Moon Flower Blossom for it so I need a spare.

Lead could be swapped to Vishnu himself or Kaede if I was of a mind to as well perhaps.

EDIT: rolled once more because I felt like it, got Alnair.  Not bad!

Figured I'd finally post here since I've gotten relatively late mid game (up to Vesta Cave and Divine Queen's Sleepless Castle). Got a Verdandi team going, she's not hypermaxed but otherwise fully awoken (no latent awakenings because I'm not made of monster points and I'm non-IPA). Other than Verdandi, pulls have been all over the place for me, so I don't really have much of a good team setup other than just trying to find good subs (I'm still running around with a Flower Chimera, a High Wood Ninja, and a Wood Samurai Ogre, but fortunately I've got Omega Wood Skydragon, Horai and Guan Yinping on the way).

Not sure what else to say but hi, then. :V

Is there anything you need/want help with?  If you make yourself a PADHerder you can catalog your monsters so you can easily link your list of em to people.  (You can use apps like PADListener to gather and push the info so you don't have to do it manually, btw)

Also, consider joining us on the IRC at #puzzleandlibrarians on the MotK servers!  PAD's much more fun with friends, after all~!

As for latents, keep an eye out tomorrow for PreDRA Infestation, where you can try and collect some without needing MP.

Just as Jq said, it would help a lot to make a PADHerder with PADListener to list your monsters, you might have a neat hidden jewel in there in the form of a team or future team.

Not many because the game persistently refuses to give me any blue cards ever. Alrescha, Awoken Orochi, Shinji, Awoken Neptune, and sort of Sumire but not really. I don't really have developed teams for any of them either.

I've also got APanda, Awoken Ra, Verdani, Kalloween I guess, and neverused leads like AMeims, AVenus, and AShiva.

Been lurking on this thread (and the forum in general) for a while but I figured I should make an account on here to join in on the fun ( ・ω・)

Let's see....I've played on the NA server for almost 2 years (I think). I run a Verdani team (Verdani being hypermaxed and full latent), though sometimes I'll run with other leaders for fun. Or some cases, what works better than my green team which tends to be my Rodin team. So I guess that'd be my secondary (?). I do have other ones I can use as leads but I either suck at making long combos or REM's killing me c: Right now, I'm farming +eggs since I got most of the descended dungeons done, though I haven't figured out who to hypermax (got 2 +297 fodders on me atm).

I also got a JP account (200+ days) so I'm doing double-duty with PAD. It's quite fun I'd say, especially considering JP gets stuff NA doesn't. Anyways, looking forward to talking with you guys on here and other parts of the forum. I'll update my PADherder whenever I can and then link it so you guys can see what I have.

ccool, is there any chance I could friend you? I've been a little stuck lately since my Andromeda team is lacking in regards to skill boosts and stalling capacity, and I've been told that NepDra pairs really nicely with Andromeda. (I also haven't used this best friend selection yet, so if that's worth anything uhh)

for the Godfest which finally hit a green Gala, rolled Hermes which apparently fully optimises the Andro team, as well as Astaroth, Liu Bei and a third Verdandi - still awaiting the day green teams become hip and cool after sixty years of not being Good Enough

Well no REM for me because yay non-IPA (I rolled yesterday and got Osiris so that kinda flew in the face of the godfest, if not the gala). In any case, spent this morning making a PADHerder, if anyone cares to give it a look.

So much going into team "I'm Verdandi and I'm awesome". (https://www.padherder.com/user/Validon98/monsters/#31,0,31,8191,268435455,0,,0,0,0,eq,0,0,0,0,;default,0)

Post by: Monarda on May 01, 2016, 02:38:47 PM
Okay, let me see what i can aid you with...

First, that Snow White is an great sub for your water team, an unbindable bind healer with heartmaker AS AND more bind clear, also with really solid stats for a 4-stars, til this day i wonder when will GungTroll make their UEvos.

Second, your should pay more attention to that Naga too, Echidna is a great card for midgame and even late-ish game due to her Active, she's the only farmable delay that i can remember.

Third, if you feel like you can do it, try farming for a Armadel, she's is an ok sub for Verdandi, having an Synergising and reliable AS, same att. and subatt. , and 4 OEs,which aren't much but will still help.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Validon98 on May 01, 2016, 02:45:31 PM
I'm definitely not forgetting that Naga, I am well aware of the power of Menace, it's just a long road I've yet to take to do said evolving. But it'll definitely happen. I'm also probably not going to try for Armadel yet because Descendeds are out of my depth right now until team Verdandi finally gets its long awaited replacement subs I've been working on (I mean I had to do Guan Yinping's descended but it had a Master difficulty and I ended up using three magic stones to beat it regardless, so that's no real indicator of whether or not I should be able to beat a descended, at least not yet, I'll work on it).
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Monarda on May 01, 2016, 03:04:36 PM
Yeah.... try not to use continues, unless you're on REALLY endgame content, always keep in mind every time you stone it's 5 box slots flying away, Chirei is also Non-IAP and yet he is quite literally an Magic Stones bank due to his effort and has a considerable amount of REMs.

The only real known whale here in MotK is Trance, who also acts as our JP contact and translator. :V

Goddamn, spent my last thirty stamina during PreDras on my Experience Boost Tama and it left me 7k experience short of a rank. Just enough that I can't get enough stamina to make it up before the dungeon ends. Oh well, I just got duplicates upon duplicates of the same few resists anyway.

If you had a Amaterasu and trading was allowed, i'd gladly give you mine, your husbando needs a friend and i want my waifu. :V

Well I don't, so you're out of luck a few times over.

Second, your should pay more attention to that Naga too, Echidna is a great card for midgame and even late-ish game due to her Active, she's the only farmable delay that i can remember.

There are at least a couple more (Zeus Vulcan, Wadatsumi, and Zhang Fei come to mind, as well as skillup fodder like Twinton) but none of them are really that great.

Anyways, I rolled again and got a Susano, is that any good? He seems to be solely Tank, Tank, and more Tank. Even his Awoken Form is just Tank, Tank, and have a 3x.

Yes, he is great. Any green team would probably at least consider using him, and he's a great rainbow sub as well. He probably even has reasonably solid lead potential.

Post by: MatsuriSakuragi on May 01, 2016, 03:50:05 PM
Echidna is kind of the quintessential delay card. There are other delays that are far better than she is in general, but she's the best at what she does at 3 turns delay for 10CD. Sun Quan possibly as well, for 2 turns delay and 2x for healers for 2 turns. Orochi's 4/5 turn delays are too slow and you'll rarely need that much delay anyway.

I pulled Christmas Lilith way back and she's been very nice, although I haven't found a true use for her yet since my box doesn't have much in the way of healers

Post by: commandercool on May 01, 2016, 04:03:45 PM
If we're getting into REM cards then yeah things open up a little, although still not a ton. I love Sun Quan, and I think Awoken Orochi is totally worth it despite the long cooldown. He's got great stats and awakenings obviously, and the four turns may not be necessary very often but they're crucial for shit like fuuuucking Vishnuuu and if you don't need all four turns you can just stall on a couple to recharge your skills and clear the board. Fifteen is a long time, but it's totally worth it in my opinion. Honorable mention to Okuninushi for being a respectable boost and a delay, even if both are small. Two utility effects in one card is always a good deal.

Yeah I accepted it.

I`m also starting out a Blue TPA Team, because i rolled stuff like Skuld and Reine (Blue Valk) and Nut, so if you make a Blue Team Based on TPAs, i`m sure Skuld will aid ya. (Although i`m like Jq, Chirei has a better Skuld, but mine still does the trick.)

The silvers were pretty much repeats, like Kurone #4.

Not sure if I want to run a Karin team yet, or blue in general. I'm currently looking at teams I can use besides my Verdandi TPA and Rodin team. A.Pandora is doing pretty good atm and I may try out Leilan or Bastet this week.

But it's always nice to have a team for each color. Well, sort of. The closest to a light team I have is Ammy.

Orochi got more HP.
Awoken Amaterasu got a third RCV to go with her +297 (I'm so sorry, Starlight)

Each finger gives out 0.05 sec right ? Having an extra second to make comboes is very useful IMO.

I'd say it's situational. If you have a team with a couple of extend time awakening and you're good at matching, then you're better off with other latents. But if you're like me who's only decent, the extra time is very useful  :V

So I just realized I still don't have a baseline ranking dungeon team. I know Izanami teams are supposed to be a thing, but what goes on them? I don't have black Valkyrie or Hakku.

Edit: Ooh, I forgot black Izanami counted physicals. I can use Zuoh and Halloween Vampire. Those are the sorts of things I want, right?

Edit edit: Or APanda. Is Izanami/APanda/Zuoh/HVampire/Castor or ALoki a thing?

Edit: Does that also mean jewels rotation will go back to the Chinese Girls ?

Nope, I believe they're going to be the Saria series of GFEs. I mean, probably eventually, but not soon.

Once i get to those i'll already have some skillmax stuff and even more Rows ! (You get rows ! You too ! EVERYONE gets rows !)

I can also Cheese No-RCV one the same though, plus it will give more Light orbs and better skyfall combos.

Yeah, no-RCV looks like a restriction on laper but it's generally actually a handicap. Makes any rainbow lead pretty foolproof.

Honestly even then you'll probably generally do okay since those typically have smaller multipliers for fewer types matched and you can compensate with higher combos and more prongs and shit.

holiday rems do this too, but at least the costumed rem cards are functionally different to make them worth going for

We only died once, but it was definitely because he got a four combo with no prongs on a key turn. Hopefully he knows what to look for now, I taught him to count the number of orbs on screen to figure out the maximum number of prongs and basic stuff like that, so maybe he'll actually put some of that to use.

Forcing multi-player on the dungeons that were actually remotely challenging in the first place was a lame-ass move and probably the final straw of why I only ever log in for bonuses and that's all I do. I haven't even touched the challenge dungeons because it's an unnecessary hassle.

7 turn CD Lucifer is also an update too far.

Making six heal orbs from non-dark on a 7 turn CD is pretty substantial. And if you're in a precarious enough position to need all that hearts, you probably don't mind being dropped to 1 immediately, either.

I dig.

Post by: The Greatest Dog on May 09, 2016, 02:25:40 PM
Thing about Lucifer is, he's got great all around stats and he's going to deal ~damage ~ with those tripledongs.

Of course, for normal heartmaking, I have dual Yomidora and 2.25x RCV. I'll use Sleeping Beauty if I need an immediate bind clear. But no Yomidora god boost is suffering.

Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on May 10, 2016, 03:10:14 AM
Yeah I certainly don't regret using Bubpiis on my Alrescha, but all of my Badpiis are reserved for Grisar for a while and I do want access to Pollux.

What on earth are you going to do with a second Alrescha? Skill inheritance? They do not seem compatible on the same team. I'd almost being worried about leading with two of them for all the skillboosts lost.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Jq1790 on May 10, 2016, 03:35:40 AM
It might be possible to squeeze at least like 7 from four sub slots though if you have the right ones in the case of the dual Alrescha leads thing, no?  Nowadays that's not as unreasonable as it used to be, after all.
Not sure how viable it is for others, but a possible setup I'd probably do would be like Amon/AKarin*^/Sarasvati/Hermes which gives 8 total, for example, along with enabling row-burst if you can supply the eleven minimum orbs needed for it.

*would debate on subbing her out for Skuld if I had her but the haste might be more valuable anyway

^Possible substitutions include Mar Midgard(if I need HP), Sumire(similar purpose though lesser, but much more useful active since dual Alrescha resists everything but water by 51% as-is not to mention the attached haste), etc.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: The Greatest Dog on May 10, 2016, 03:48:36 AM
If it were up to dual Castor, I'd have no problem. Zaerogoo and Yomidora have four skill boosts on their own, so I'd just need to find one more 2x skill boost and field Hamal or something.

Issue with Castor is, resisting dark is a lot more useful than R/G/B/L in a pinch, I think.

With dual Alrescha leads, I could use Orochi as a 2x skill boost and barely eek out 5 for turn one Hatsumi.

If Acubens had followed the same route as Alcyone and Hamal, I'd love to roll for him, but jammer meta :/

Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: commandercool on May 10, 2016, 12:59:24 PM
No, you don't need them. Any skill delay enemies so far can be worked around, as far as I know. The closest thing to mandatory I'm aware of is Haphaestus Dragon with his 99 turn (?) delay, but that more requires you to use skill inheritance than delay resists.

As for which dungeons use them... A lot. The relatively common Gear enemies and Cath Palug appear in multiple dungeons and use it. Ultimate Blue Sonia uses is a lot in Gran Reverse. Heimdall and his dungeon use it a lot. I believe Awoken Shiva who appears in many endgame dungeons has a delay preemptive. It's fairly common.
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: Jq1790 on May 10, 2016, 02:22:35 PM
Yup, AShiva has a two turn skill delay as part of his preemptive package.  (Along with a I think 75% gravity and a 99 or 999 turn combo[5+ to beat] shield)

I do not know whether I'll be using SDRs much, but I know I wont be if Id have to use MP to get em.

On that note, I really have to get this off my chest.

As I said months ago, I felt that the spike in power creep was PAD's event horizon into doom. What was once a creative and intriguing game rushed into cranking out huge volumes of waifus and hasubandos for a quick buck-- and nothing sells it quicker than releasing stronger and stronger units of every color.

And it's not that this is a new thing, GH making palette swaps/resprites has always been a thing. But now it's to the point that they've more or less run out of ideas and all they have left is "take this character or concept and change them in extremely tiny ways and be sure to make them far stronger at the same time, and what we end up with is an oversaturated game where too many units do more or less the same fucking things, making them feel as if the only thing that separates them is art and name. And that's boring. That's why we have about 10 different variations of Kali now, for example, that more or less are pretty much the same fucking thing. There's no more feeling of "oh hell yes, I got this chase rare and now I have to build a team around their leader skill", which personally I found super exciting. Kind of the notion that now that everything is special, nothing is. Now you can build functionally the same team with a different reskin and it just feels lifeless. It's great to have variety, don't get me wrong, but what we have is over saturation of too many things that do the same thing without much variance to give them unique play styles.

I could go on a long time with things I felt have gone wrong with PAD's development over the years, but all I ever really do when I come to the thread these days is fuss about it, and I hate that. I hate that something that has not only been a huge part of my life since 2013 but also been my main fixation since that time, as well as social outlet has become so stale and unexciting. At this point in the game, there's no thrill anymore. Pulling chase rares ends up being more of a "ugh FINALLY" than an event that makes your day or even week. And yeah, I'm partially to blame, since I was the one who dumped considerable amounts of cash into collecting them and getting lots more along the way. But now, there's no thrill of the chase anymore. Everything is super strong and with the power creep, the vast majority of dungeons are easy to the point of being super boring. And what's not super easy and meant to be challenging is challenging for the wrong reasons, often boiling down to having the absolute perfect team (because even if everything is super strong, you still get locked out by color drains/resists or "oh, you wanted to do lots of damage? Nope, that's too much and you just healed the boss because that TOTALLY MAKES SENSE"  for the dungeons or having to rely on sheer RNG blessing. And that's... sigh.

I kinda wish I could start the game blind again.  PAD has made a ton of great improvements over the years despite the dumb things they've done along with it that have made it a much more user-friendly experience, but to me, at this point, it's no longer the game that engaged and enthralled me.

It's called Puzzle and Dragons, but the dragons are and always have been painfully generic (to the point of them having the only way to make them good be slapping a well-loved godfest rare's name on it and making them broken as fuck), and the puzzle is pretty much gone too.

So, I guess the solution is make stupid broken dungeons, to account for that. Ones where you need, like, 30 combos with certain team types (or the ever-faltering Jammer meta), or what?

I basically agree with most of what Matsuri's said there, but I still dont feel the lacking excitement myself somehow.  Maybe it's the fact I'm not at ultra endgame, but I still find the new stuff I manage to get pieces for to be pretty exciting; I'm on the cusp of being able to try out a shiny new light Healer team, something almost impossible to build powerfully for example.

Making both a DKali like and LKali like for each element I can kinda grudgingly admit is a fair thing to do; making all the special editions revolve around the same few cards(mainly Kali and Sakuya) is pretty lame though when there are any number of other avenues available.

The game is definitely easier to get into though as also stated, which is huge.  It's a shame the goalposts have been moved for a lot of people to be sooo far out though. 

At the same time, maybe the old spark could be recaptured by making some kind of team entirely different from anything one has tried before?  I dunno, something to ponder perhaps.

I've already beaten everything that's basically not new and doesn't demand that you spike for 50M/have a partner or :getout: with shit teams, so there's not much left for me to do either until they release something that lets me spike through all that with those teams.

It would be painfully easy at my level to just use the cookie cutter teams, so no point buying/chasing those for me.

Why people complain about Fenrir ?

I don't see why to hate Jammer Meta, maybe it's just me, but if nobody is using what's supposed to be Meta, then it isn't exactly Meta anyone is it ?

I would love a change in my tactics, and Denebola is a key to it, the same goes to Australis and Skuld/Jq's A. Karin Teams (the last one is stuck due to a lack in both cost AND 2 Water Jewels), they all have a new factor in them that i like a lot.

So if people aren't doing what's fun for them, then why even 'play' ?

That's exactly what I'm speaking against. The hardest dungeons in the game right now are just too absurdly difficult to beat unless you have the perfect team (because clearly having a full pentamax team is not enough), so far that unless you do have said perfect team, you'll never beat it unless you are either insanely lucky or you pour a ton of stones into it.

We're at the point where those dungeons don't revolve around one obstacle. For example, Sandalphon used to be insanely hard because you not only had to have an answer for Raphael's dark drain, but also be able to manage your damage against Michael if you couldn't one-shot him (and this was before doing huge damage was a common thing, because it was pre-power creep), and you had to manage your damage against Sandy as well, because if you hit too hard but not hard enough to kill, enjoy a 10-turn bind to all your gods, and good luck doing that without dark types, which the game all but screams you can't play because of Raphael. Take it too slow, and it was too hard to sustain your life for an extended time. But now, the new hardest dungeons need an answer for EVERY obstacle, which means you need very specific and limiting team setups to answer all of them. Which sucks and is honestly outright un-fun.

So basically we're back to cost limited dungeons where you have to build an entirely new team for the dungeon, except now instead of needing to farm for a team your stuck waiting on pieces out of the REM.

Hi I'm not dead. Though the increased emphasis on farming and multiplayer has outright prevented me from playing in any capacity.

I'd help you out but my Denebola is on my JP PAD :V dat jammer meta though.

And it seems that I missed quite a bit while being out. Although I play more casually than most people here, I do agree with what's going on nowadays with PAD. Two things that annoys me the most though, is the increased push of jammer meta (ie. Fenrir, Mechanical Gods, etc) and multiplayer. If I wanted to play a game that focused on multiplayer, I'd go play MMOs or anything else centers around multiplayer. As for jammers, I'll stick with the original 6 orbs myself. I'm not down to deal with an orb that requires either an active skill or an enemy skill for jammers to appear.

But it's always fun to build and try out different teams, assuming I don't get REM-screwed (which is one of the most annoying parts of the game). And of course, there's dungeons I haven't cleared yet that doesn't require a "super team".  Just got my 3rd +297 fodders on both accounts and working on a 4th one so I guess I have something to do on PAD when not clearing descended, challenges, etc.

A lot of the game's allure remains when there's still content that's within reasonable reach. The best you can do if try to make those victories memorable, which is what helped keep the value for me.

Yeah, it's pretty much what I like to do every time I tackle a tough dungeon and clear it without stoning. I don't see myself clearing any of those special descended anytime soon, but clearing dungeons like Sonia Gran recently put a big smile on my face. Clearing tough dungeons (tough for me) like those tells me, "hey, maybe I can clear some of the other tough dungeons too".

Although to be fair, I may have to consider to tackle the tough dungeons eventually, I'm looking at the upcoming descended list over on the PAD database and I've already cleared most of it :V

GungHo can't make new methods of play if we're so stubborn and unwilling to use new units. We haven't seen a new Pantheon since this whole PAD radar thing, haven't we?

We've exhausted so many ideas by this point too. Combo gods, rainbow, heart leads like Lakshmi, Parvati, Gadius, all the variations of mono-attribute and mono-type. Popcorn was an attempt to move away from TPAs and rows and some people still don't know that orb enhance awakenings scale past just five.

I'm sure more people had jumped onto the Hel train than Fenrir.

Yup, that's essentially the thing. A lot of older people are just like 'this is so bad all these old things are more efficient' that we kinda just... start doing the thing I've done for years and gone 'all these new cards suck'. So we start seeing things as essentially far worse off than they are.

This combined with how long a lot of metas tend to take to get off the ground really is part of the reason why this happens, tbh. (Remember how long it took before rows were widely used??? or TPAs????)

My thoughts on this topic are this:

If it wasn't for having something to talk about with you guys, and to a lesser extent my IRL friends who play, I probably would have more or less quit playing after I reached roughly endgame. I feel like I've mostly done stuff, and all that's left is whale dungeons that don't seem fun to me. That doesn't mean I won't give them a try eventually, but I'm not feeling very motivated. Honestly what's got me most excited right now is actually multiplayer. I enjoyed that last multiplayer challenge a ton and I'm looking forward to doing it again some time, so as a result I'm branching out and leveling as many viable cards as possible to give me the best chance of having a good match with somebody else. I may also try to get really into the next ranking dungeon, although it will have to have non-bullshit design for me to want to do that. I have to find my own fun to a bit of a degree at this point (Project Shinji is still on), and I'm playing less than I did at my peak, but I'm still having fun.

As for game balance, I think I'm severely warped in my perception of it by other games I play. I've alluded to this before and may have even mentioned it, but I'm a longtime player of the tabletop game Heroclix. It's a superhero miniatures game that I've been playing since I was eleven years old, and not to brag but I'm really, really good at it. And it sucks, and that makes me sad in a way that it's hard to articulate. This game is honestly probably the thing I'm best at, and I've logged thousands upon thousands of hours playing it. I've met a ton of good friends playing it, I met everyone I've ever lived with through it including my current roommate, I've made a decent amount of prize money playing it (not talking Magic levels, but enough that I've probably just about broken even on Heroclix expenses overall). If it wasn't for all of the good friends I have at my weekly Heroclix games I would have quit long ago, but I love having an excuse to hang out with them.

So I have all this invested in the game, and it fucking sucks. It's a bad game made by incompetent, greedy designers. Things are looking up a tiny bit in the sense that they've resolved to overhaul design in a big way, but their track record is abysmal. So anyway, I say all of this because it's made me blind to bad design to some degree. No choice Gungho has ever made has even come close to equaling the pay to win bullshit Heroclix spews out in a PVP game on a regular basis, and that's without even getting into the way their game encourages players to use strategies that aren't fun, teaching them to hate the game and that trying to have fun is for suckers. PAD could be fucking up left and right and I would barely notice because I'm used to much, much worse. I've just become a bad judge of this kind of thing through such constant and personal exposure to abysmal decision making.

Even when I do get annoyed at shit like Beach Claire, My eventual retention is probably very much realizing how overall Gungho is by far the best in the business to it's users, even in NA.

I don't even think this is a case of Jammer meta

I think the reality is, they wanted some 3 CD active skill to skill link with that "Change own attribute to Wood" weapon and "Poison to Jammer" was the most niche thing they could conceive for 3 turns.

Edit: got the chance to fight Sopdet with Fenrir today. Pretty rough when Fenrir has one of the highest ATK in the game, deals 2x because of dark>light and another 3x because of God killer.

Turns out, you can just not use jammers and instead do your best F/L Horus impression.

I'm still convinced Agni is a horrible horrible typo.

Xiu min now that I've seen his entire set is really really really fucking good.

Like, legitimately, probably best of this set now that I think of it. Access to the entire color allows him to do his best Hero impression and do ridiculous damage, while having reasonable bulk from say geez i don't know -7k fucking hp-.

My only real problem is lack of bulk in LS similar to the blue card (Which is just bad) and somewhat janky ls not letting him do a full hero impression and being really rough on orb management, but he's also a pretty damn solid sub for light phys teams as well.

He's just an amazingly well balanced card. He might be my pick for 300k mp card.

I don't think there's any justification needed, it's just interesting design. Whether it's balanced correctly or not is up for debate, but the idea of a lead with the drawback of not buffing itself is honestly really interesting. I wouldn't be against more of this. A physical that buffs healers or something would be really interesting if the power level is strong enough to bother using it.

The R/L LS is an unconditional 1/4.5/1.5 from a descend drop, the D/B one is an unconditional 1/6/1 from a descend drop. Green attackers are also one of the better green types as it has most of the double and triple prongs members.
Agni would render many REM chars inferior if he affected himself. :V

Any card I believe may inherit a skill, but the only ones that can transfer skills must be from a REM, and be 5* (If they can evolve to 5* or higher rarity, this is fine.)

Hmm, that does make her kind of tempting then. Not sure what kind of poison I would put on her since my Awoken Neptune is currently sort of in use, but I believe replacing Beyzul with her+poison active wpuld be able to handle most or all current Challenge 10s. Not sure about Arena though, would definitely need gravity at least.

Got a Rozuel out of it.

Considering her short 5 CD, I don't mind having two of her for skill inheritance purposes.

Never beat this guy before. While I don't have strictly "powerful" blue mobs, this shows the relative utility of Blue compared to Red and the like.

What do you consider "powerful" then? Aren't Orochi and I&I considered top-tier blue? All I can think of that's lacking is trashbitch garbageAndro. And maybe Bonia I guess?
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: The Greatest Dog on May 13, 2016, 07:22:56 PM
(I used Gabriel over Andromeda because Andromeda doesn't have heart enhance yet for emergency heals and Attacker typing for Neptune)

I would feel a lot more comfortable with my burst options if I had a Hermes or Bonia again. But for all my attempts to get Hermes, I've only obtained three Persephone and an Ares for it :/

Orochi isn't necessarily "powerful", since his TPAs often go to waste, but damn he is still incredibly useful :V
Contrast with red teams that have to charge in with strong leader multipliers and orb change after orb change, like Shivadora and Raoh. Almost every awoken and active skill is strong, but the diversity of active skills is weak.
Like, Minerva converts dark to fire + defense break, while Ceres is a useful cleric; Shiva enhances fire and defense breaks, while Parvati and Lakshmi both make heart orbs.
Hino Kagutsuchi makes EVEN MORE fire and dark, plus YET ANOTHER DEFENSE BREAK, while Orochi and Susano are carrying blue and green.

Post by: commandercool on May 13, 2016, 07:28:36 PM
If by "powerful" you do just mean raw damage, then yeah, Gabe and Ryune are pretty top-shelf. I took it to mean "viable", in which case Orochi's prong focus shouldn't even matter. He would still be great even if he had no prongs.

I also have never been able to pick up a Hermes. In fact, I just keep getting Apollo over and over. He's the ONLY Greek 2 I have.

Amon for my special pull. I don't know if I actually have much in the way of water physical, but water devil has a couple prospects.

Also since I didn't really use stamina on anything today, I went through the pirates' grotto and tested a thing: if you deliberately try to keep most of your board blinded on Blackbeard, he'll use a weak single hit. Apparently this weak hit also disables his other blind moves, so he'll go immediately into Queen Anne's Revenge and kill you next turn.

I mean, I wouldn't. I'm anti-board change as a general rule. If you must stack them though (and two isn't really stacking I guess) then a heartmaking one with haste is pretty much best case scenario.

What would you put in the last slot?
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: The Greatest Dog on May 16, 2016, 04:24:27 AM
honestly not sure
Maybe Elia for non-abysmal stats, a useful and short cd haste active and precious dark resist awokens
Awoken Amaterasu fills desperately needed SBR and cleric duties
Ganesha is there I guess :V

Because four members of the crew have hastes, even the lengthiest of cool downs isn't so intimidating. 20.25x ATK and 2.25x RCV is swell, too. Being limited to Physical and Healer, though...?

Can't use Kanna. Can't use Sandalphon without gutting my HP. Purin is the best bet but no SBR :despair:

Gave the Ranking Dungeon a try.

I never played a full rainbow team like Horus before, quite an intriguing change of playstyle from my Row and TPA based teams.

I didn't go very well, because Meimei was really pissing me off (Not your Meimei Chaore), skyfall wasn't very gentle either and my lack of skill made it worse.

Got 75.1% in the end and stayed in Tama level, trying to get to PreDra level at least, still fun, and i get free jewels (if drop gods agree) and Fagan for my Sakuya.

BTW, do you have Mecha Cat Edible ? I need a friend with her and it would make sense that one of Bestet's biggest fans to have her twin sister.

Sadly, I do not.

It'll probably go down after I wake up but since the difference in rewards is a Bubpy, it won't really matter much to me.

Nah. Some took 2 tries due to either bad skyfalls or me messing up combos. Or in Fagan's case, trolled with 5% hp left after the first hit :V

4.1%

I'm not self conscious about my lackluster team because everybody has the same team!

I think I would have preferred if they gave us Pollux instead of Antares. Light orbs are almost irredeemably useless in this ranking dungeon.

I like this ranking dungeon. Preset teams should happen more often. 18-ish% for me.

I'm looking forward to trying it later. I don't have any real experience with Horus per se, but hopefully my Ra experience will translate acceptably.

It will. You play one color combo god, you've played them all, really.

you'll be fine, Horus is way less strict than Ra

I did pretty lame, but I got the boss drop, so that's good. He'll happily replace my Mystic Mask.

Here's hoping. My concern at this point is that I don't really have an eye for getting good damage out of rainbow boards, but rather for getting a full activation every time. It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

notes:
You don't need to pop any actives to kill Suzaku or Byakko if you get a good x20.25 (I've killed Byakko with x16 before) so you can cut time there

Same goes for Karin technically but she resists half your team sooooo pop Spica for good measure and to save fire orbs for Genbu

Genbu is the first major wall; you'll need a Fire TPA, maybe a Horus enhance, and 20.25x to put her down. However, you need Antares's active later to kill Kouryuu in a single turn. Do your best?

Byakko is a pushover, but Kirin has a ton of HP. Castor is your best bet to push her HP down.

Then it comes to Kouryuu and whether you have enough hearts for Antares to give a good board, and of course getting orb trolled out of 20.25x is killer.

Here was my score for it, as someone who has never run Horus before but has run Ra Dragon a fair bit.

EDIT: As Purin said, Kirin has a lot of HP, 4M to be precise. Fagan has 5M.

First run got me 98,042 points (13.5%). I can definitely see a ton of room for improvement over that run, so that's great news. Will sit down and focus and do some more runs later.

Up to ~6% so far, still lots of room for improvement. Gonna gun for the crown or even top10 this time...
Title: Re: RNG And Dragons Thread XXIX: NA is actually good now?!?!?!?!
Post by: The Greatest Dog on May 16, 2016, 03:04:45 PM
as usual, I think I'll stick to 4%

It's enough knowing that when the playing field is completely even, I'm alright at PAD.

As someone who qualified for the top12 in the international tournament, I can't settle for being alright. This time, the whales are in MY world.
