Puzzle & Dragons 3: Whatever you do, don't spend money on this game

[Edible]

First thread
Second thread



Puzzle & Dragons is an ios/android puzzle RPG.  It plays like a cross between Bejeweled and Pok?mon.  It's completely free to play, but has premium features through purchasable "magic stones," the game's premium currency (which can also be obtained occasionally as rewards in-game), which allow increased inventory, pulls from a rare egg machine, and more.  If you're patient enough the game gives you enough stones through special events and rewards that you shouldn't need to buy any.  (It's recommended you don't because you are almost guaranteed to be super frustrated at getting screwed by bad rolls ;_;)

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

If you're interested, there's a really useful database of monsters and game info here: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/

A tip for new players: At the end of the tutorial the game will give you one free pull on the rare egg machine.  It's best to "scum" this pull and start over (by uninstalling and reinstalling) until you get something that's really rare, like a 5-star beastie or a god.  Great starters include any of the Chinese Gods, Shiva, Ares, Isis, Horus, Idunn & Idunna, Hermes, Archangel Lucifer, Valkyrie, Amaterasu, Odin, Loki, Persephone, Freyja, Parvati, and many others.  Feel free to ask!

If I activate a Chinese god with the right orbs, then does the attack multiplier apply to all monsters or just those three attributes?

After messing around with Sakuya, the bonus applies to everything.

[O4rfish]

They're like Egyptian gods. In fact, their icon dots and combo multiplier text use the same format (and stack with them).

Edible, this should make you feel a little better

It doesn't.  Metatron is mediocre and offers no real advantages over valkyrie, which I already have.

I was looking for a different playstyle with Kirin or any of the other chinese gods.  Metatron does not offer me that, nor does any of the other 16 wasted rolls this game foisted upon me.

Hopefully she'll get buffed then, though it might not help you looking for a different playstyle.

[Suikama]

holy shit fucking goemon is stupid

ive wasted so much stamina on this stupid thing, i think my failure rate is really close to 100%

i keep fucking getting uncontrollable heart orb combo drops and it just pushes me out of ranged during a boss

[Ghaleon]

It just occured to me, suzaku is even besterer cuz shes the only chinese goddess whose leader ability is compatible with kirin.

[Suikama]

her active ability isnt though :derp:

[fondue]

Holy chicken. Might try this sometime later. Thanks for the info!

[Suikama]

only 2 hours left of godfest

are the chinese gods still available after the godfest or are they godfest only?

[Edible]

They're being added officially when the next festival rolls in

[O4rfish]

Odin and Metatron are godfest only. Everything else should be in the REM.
Also, I figured out why so many elementals!
"RARE EGG MACHINE: Angels and the Five Elements Descended!"
How much you wanna bet someone hit the wrong button?

[Ghaleon]

So I was bored and searched danbooru for PaD images...
Every chinese goddess has their own image except suzaku (whose only image is part of one that features all 5), WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY.

[O4rfish]

Danbooru has plenty of Kirin images. Also, plenty of Sakuya images.

[hyorinryu]

Danbooru has plenty of Kirin images. Also, plenty of Sakuya images.

You mean Karin images?

[Suikama]

For clarity's sake we should just stick to their given names :V

So it's Leilan, Karin, Meimei, Sakuya, and Haku


_{...oh shit godfest ends in 10 minutes ;-;}

[Arcorann]

I just realised there was a typo in my player ID. It should be 326,368,215 (not 268). Apologies for any inconvenience.

[Labuto]

Anyone beat Zeus- Dios yet? Not me, too hard.

[O4rfish]

Is it worth saving gold dragons for the ultra-rare shiny pengdra, or should I just eat them?

[Ghaleon]

prob should save like 2 or 3 imo

[O4rfish]

God damn it, Kreimhilde needs 8 super kings or equivalent to get to level 70. Someone please change the pal machine back to enhance instead of evo!

[hyorinryu]

I don't roll the PAL Machince for Evo materials anymore. Only works if i get the specific one I need. Meanwhile, I can always use another king dragon.

[Ghaleon]

Same, though i never get squat from enhance mode either. The very first time gave me a couple kings, but nowdays i save 20+ eggs for enhance and didnt get one king for the last couple enhance pal events in a row.

Of note, i had like only 3 people use my haku since getting her... Shes apparently nobody's friend ='(

[Suikama]

Evolve her already :V

She's like the weakest leader in my friends list V:


oh wait that's someone else's haku

i dont even have you added :V



ugh breakers is today

it just tempts me to waste stamina

but today is pengdra with x5 +egg rate

aarggggggg

[Edible]

Yeah I was gonna say, his haku came pre-evolved

[Suikama]

also to all Chinese god onwers

My Isis is now level 79

so feel free to give me lots of pal points use her to clear everything :derp:

[Ghaleon]

Yeah I was gonna say, his haku came pre-evolved

No it came level 5 un evolved. I just leveled her up real fast.

Why isnt suikama on my list anyway, hurr

[Edible]

Holy shit.
