Title: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Jq1790 on November 29, 2014, 05:19:35 AM
Well, since some people on the IRC expressed interest in the game I decided to revive this topic that I hear was around a couple years ago.  Format imitated from the PAD topic, so credit for general layout goes to whoever made the original topic design.

(http://i.imgur.com/CPNG0Tc.png)

Ayakashi Ghost Guild is an Android/iOS CCG game with really beautiful artwork.  It plays like a collectible card game in a way.  It's completely free to play, but has premium features through purchasable "gold," the game's premium currency which allow for increased daemon storage, tries at a couple different types of "rare summons", and more.

You can collect all sorts of daemons, from incarnations of gods and goddesses to ancient warlords and heroes to embodiments of various weaponry and a bunch of other things as well.

You alternate between "investigating", where you fill up a progress bar and try to randomly collect daemons, and combat of various types, the man variety of which involves pitting your team of up to five daemons against another's similar team, or a daemon wandering in the wild basicall or as part of the story.

You have three stats:
Health- used for Investigating.  Investigating is how you level up, and leveling up is important in this game as I'll describe below.
Attack Spirit(AS):  Team cost for your Attacking Team
Defense Spirit(DS):  Team cost for your Defense Team

When you finish Investigating a given part of a chapter, you gain what is called an "Ability Point". This can be spent to increase either of the three above stats by 1.
When you level up, you get 3 points.
When you add a new Crewmember(friend), you gain five.  If you REMOVE a crewmember(Can only do once a day) you -lose- five points though, and if you don't have any unspent ones they're taken right out of your actual stats!

The above can be used as a way to help you "respec", since different event types will want different stats at higher levels.  (Someone more experienced can elaborate.)
(You can also reallocate Ability Points by using "Beef Bowls", with each type being able to remove a different number of points.) 

A tip for new players: You can join via an invite code for both you and the one who invited you to get bonuses!  These invitee bonuses include "Special Summon Tickets", tickets for a 'free' version of the Rare Summon.  Slightly older cards are put in there I hear, so while you can't get the latest and greatest stuff for free, you can get SOMETHING at least, and there are still powerful cards to be found.

EDIT:  The above is only half true now it appears, from some peoples' experiences who started at the time of this thread or later.  It seems the one to ENTER the code is not getting anything, but someone who had their code USED gets linked, s the invitER still gets stuff.  The stuff they get is described below:

Invitee reaches Lv. 5: SS Ticket x 1
Lv. 20 SS Ticket x 2
Lv. 50: SS Ticket x 5

Also, the first time the player you invite receives a 5 star daemon, you also receive a copy of it for free!
EDIT(thanks for the info, Aoshi!):  It seems the free 5* thing only works for your FIRST referred person, so keep that in mind.

This invite code can be changed to something easier(it starts out as a random string of letters and/or numbers), but it can only be changed once.

Please note that one's invite code is only good for -20- shots.  Thus, then nunber of free SS Tickets from that that the inviter can get is 160 if all of your invitees reach Lv. 50.

For example, mine is 1790!

List of friends:

MotK name - AGG name - Invite Code
----------------------------------
jq1790 - jq1790 - 1790(Referrals: 1)
Lloyd Dunamis - Amanie - [waiting to be told his ID](Referrals: ???)
Aoshi - Hollander - 118120(Referrals: 1)
Noel Princess Lem - LemGambino - LEMMYG(Referrals: 1)
Chaore - Chaore - BUNLORD(Referrals: 0)


Feel free to share invite codes here so people can spread the love around!  To facilitate this, please mention when you've had someone use your invite ID!

Don't get TOO excited; the 4* and 5* rates from their rare pull things are, shall we say, terrible.

Still get excited enough to join, of course.

Also the number of invites one can send out for bonuses caps at 20.  Forgot to mention that; editing the OP to reflect this.

That makes it even more valuable though, especially if you get an active base.

Like shit, even one person lucks out and you score bigtime.

Downloaded the game, did a couple summons...I'm a little befuddled on how the battles work, are they really this automated?

Also, where do I find my invite code (and change it)? Found it...ID is LemGambino

EDIT: Also wondering what's the best way to allocate AP, any advice is appreciated

Ah, did you put in an invite code?

To find your invite code and change it, look on the Home page for a banner advertising the invite system.  Click that, then there will be a spot where it lists your ID and lets you change it.

AP allocation varies based on what you're trying to do.  Someone like Aoshi or Lloyd would be better informed on that, so you can try asking them if they do pop in.  (I imagine they will since I got permission to add their IDs to the OP, so...)

As you'll notice, I'm Lv. like 59.  Those two are both over Lv. 100, if that says anything, haha.

It seems I'll need more Attack/Defense spirit to support my ghosts, moreso than health atm...Though I assume an entire investigation run will cost me an entire health bar at later levels.

It'll cost you more than one bar unless you have a ton of health.  You gain less progress per click as you go, and each click costs more as well.

Where I am I get 5% per click, and it costs 15 health each time, for example.
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Third Eye Lem on November 29, 2014, 08:22:38 AM
Yeah, that's what I thought...I'll figure out exactly how much AS/DS I'll need as I go, then pump up Health once I'm able to support my top-tier cards.

Dumping AP into Attack/Defense would be a good start so you can put stronger cards in your team sooner. (I keep mine at 1:2 for conquest events, but like JQ said, it depends on what events you're participating in.)

This tends to be a thing with mobage in general.

Even PAD has 6-7 artists working on it- it's how well they are at disguising their different styles.

(one artist basically did all the girls with open mouths)

As of 5:30ish EST, there are 9 hours left on a special offer for earning free Gold!

1.5x gold can be earned from Tapjoy offers right now, so if you're looking to save some up, now's not a bad time to gather some!

To access offers, the fastest method I know of is to go to the Summon tab on the main menu, then scroll down until you see a button labeled "Earn Free Gold".

Good luck!

I kinda got bored and made another pull instead of my original plan for that, whoops.

I played this like a year ago then lost all of my save data :derp:

I'm pretty sure all of my cards were garbage anyways. Also back when I played the interface was godawful. Like in Pad if want to feed my monster a bunch of fodder I just select them, add many, and choose what I want from my whole collection on a single page. In this game the card list was separated into pages and every page took like 5 seconds to load. So if I wanted to feed a bunch of stuff I'd have to scroll through pages and wait for all the load times and ughhh. Also text everywhere. The card pull screen was extremely long and just filled with words words words which one am I supposed to click for regular pulls bluh

Mira was cute tho :>
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?

Post by: Jq1790 on December 01, 2014, 02:07:55 AM
You can theoretically get Mira as a daemon during anniversary events.

This is theoretical only, though, because if it's like the last two years, she's either Rare Summon exclusive(this was how the first anniversary one was), or worse, the Total Ranking Reward for the anniversary event like this year's was.

Only the whale-est of whales will get into Total rankings if she's a prize.  The competition for her is a massive bloodbath of epic proportions.

She -is- criminally adorable though.
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Suikama on December 01, 2014, 02:12:53 AM
Oh yeah I remember that ranking bs

I remember doing one event like every single day when it was up, and then in the end I still got the last place prize >_>

Also there was this one event that like randomly ended while it was running or something?

I dunno this game is like so simple with there being literally no interaction in actual battles and yet still so incredibly confusing and just kind of a mess overall tbh

The only reason I played it was for Mira + the story lol

Someone needs to save Mira and put her in a better game :V

Notice for Fusion Efficiency
I just realized this info was not put up yet so here I am doing so!

Noticing those 1* daemons you're stockpiling giving really little Exp each?  Well, you can partially remedy that, and here's how!

For best results, use 3 of the same daemon.  Also note that during events like the one currently ongoing, there is a bonus to Exp during feedings, though it's different based on if you're Bulk fusion or single fusions!

If you're fusing 1-by-1 and get a "big success" (which is possible anytime, but currently guaranteed, as the 'Big Fusion Success Offer' flashing on the Fuse button on the main menu shows), you gain 50% extra Exp!  Bulk fusions, however, only gain 25%.

As for the daemons themselves, assuming you get a Big Success with three of the same daemon, here's how you should do things.

Fuse two of them to each other.  This will net a lv. 3 daemon. 

Fuse the newly made lv. 3 onto the third lv. 1 daemon!  This is important but easy to mistake, so be careful!  The result if you did it right will be a level 6 daemon, which is the most efficient way to fuse!  Fuse those one at a time to your target for best results.

A lv. 1 daemon of same type (Phantom, Divina, etc) provides ~30something Exp.  A lv. 6 daemon, though, provides OVER 300!
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Lloyd Dunamis on December 09, 2014, 06:42:53 PM
Yep, like what Jq mentioned just above, how you fuse your daemons greatly influences how fast your daemons level up! There's more EXP-efficient fusion combinations you should know, that hopefully I can explain soon, but for now let me just update you on something important right now that every Ghost Agent (Ayakashi player) should not miss...

There's a free 30-Day Summon Pack for everyone up for grabs! @w@
30-Day Summon Packs are usually bought for 1800 Gold coins. In celebration for their newly-added feature though, "Level Cap Limit Break", Zynga has given all of us that pack.
This is very nice, as there is also currently a x10 rate for 5* daemons in Rare Summon, running for 20 days!

To get the pack, go to the game's Homescreen, scroll down and look for the blue "Limit Break celebration. Get 30-day rare summon pack for FREE!" banner and tap it. Don't worry about it telling you "You're short of gold coins.", the "Get a gift pack NOW!" button should be tappable instead of grayed out regardless.
To confirm that you got it, there should be a countdown saying 29 days and 23hrs left, with the "Reward Already Claimed" button grayed out. You can then head to Summon page, scroll down to Rare Summon section and summon your first free rare summon!

Note: I believe you can miss a rare summon if you have not Rare-summoned for a day's 24 hours, so please try to login at least once every 24 hours. =w=;

...I still pray to Zynga's RNG God to give us lucky summons. I've heard many negative experiences with multiplied rates.


Meanwhile, I want to respond to posts here so much. xwx;;

Post by: Chaore on December 09, 2014, 06:54:54 PM
Free summons~ Free Summons~

This is basically more generous than any other game ever right now, dang.

I didn't check properly, but I assume the limit break mechanic is the same as most games- Fuse a copy to increase max level?
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Lloyd Dunamis on December 09, 2014, 07:58:03 PM
o.o I am not aware of other CCGs doing this besides the one I'm also playing, Magic School Lussid (have not played enough CCGs maybe), but yeah it's like that. No need to Max Level the other copy or anything~.

Also, don't forget your actually-free 5* Da-Liu-Ren (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Da_Liu_Ren) over the News feed, "[Critical Update] LIMIT BREAK!"

This IS in fact the case.  'use it or lose it.'

If you wanna reply to posts here, then just come on in and do so!  Now is a better time than ever to hang out with your fellow Ghost Agents in here, is it not, Lloyd? I mean, you inspired me to make this topic in the first place, after all.

Today I got some Anima who is apparently the spirit of the chain letter, 3*.   Oh well. 29 more to go!  Hoping for a good Phantom myself.  What are all of you after?

It's a derivative thing from basically the granddaddy of some most fuck knows how many mobile CCGs (Million Arthur), so it's possible it's more common in more derivative works.

Also picked up, rather nice of them to make most of them free.

I got a yukionna, potentially what I want since she's a 3-star phantom. I think she's defensive though...

5 star dreams are my goal, obv.

Can confirm; guildmates are having trouble pulling helpers for the Guild Raid event. (I think only one person so far got Ryoma?)

Meanwhile I pulled a Kabuto from the first Rare Summon huhuhu

I'd really like Ryoma though, he's a really good leader card.

They're probably off-multiply or something. Mmm, well, even if they gave us the summons mostly during bad rates, we've still got the final ten days :v (or nine, surprised the rare summon resets directly at midnight.)

Meanwhile, drew a miss eve as well. Atleast my anima might be pretty good defensively...?

Speaking of guilds, everyone is in a filled one I take it? I still need to figure out where to apply myself.

I'm not having much luck anymore.

Few questions though, everyone else get a 4* da liu ren as their gift, or was it randomized?

Also- How often does this shrine of seven days show?

I got a 4* too. Maybe it's the rarity of DLR that's randomized?

Shrine of Seven Days appears between events.

It's possible, or they're being cute.

Also I figured. That's neat though- even if I doubt i'll be able to make use of it with it's high stam cost and tough mobs for a long time.

The shrine is also gonna take a long time to get enough talismans for anything, to note.

I totally won the Rare Summon though.  Kitsune no Yomeiri, a 5* Phantom with REALLY nice stat caps.  Her skill is defensive so it's less interesting, but the stats are so overwhelmingly high I dont care.

Hnnhnn, Yatagarasu (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Yatagarasu), not bad at all! >w<
There's a 5* helper with the helping skill of raising chance to get Pure, or the non-Reversed arcana daemon, so maybe we have a chance for that.
FakeEdit: Yep, Ryoma Saka (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Ryoma_Sakamoto)na (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1079)moto (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Ryoma_Sakamoto) is included in the list of summonables. =w= (There's a tappable link in the Rare Summon section that lists the summonables)

---aaand there goes 200F Fairy Godmother... No way I'm reaching AND clearing 200F from 192F within 5 minutes.
The second 200F daemon I miss that I could acquire, the other being Behemoth (Calm) [Anniversary] (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Behemoth)...


Anyway, since Tower event is now done, the 100%-chance Big Fusion Bonus promo is now gone as well. At this point, fusions will have only a chance to get Big Fusion Bonus, so most of the time we will not get the +50% EXP bonus from it. We'll change the way we fuse 1* daemons from hereon for a time-efficient and EXP-efficient method.

Doing the method Jq explained (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,17695.msg1146895.html#msg1146895) would require 4 1-star daemons instead of 3 to achieve at least Lv5 w/o Fusion Bonus.
We will use Bulk Fusion this time to atleast speedify things up a bit:


Further fusion tips!:
About fusing 2* or 3* daemons, they're better off being fused with a 1* magatama instead of the method we use for 1*s, with or without Fusion Bonus. Fusing any  daemon with a 1* mag achieves Lv5, w/ big fuse Lv6.
961 EXP, almost as high as a 3* mag (1187 EXP).
[/list]

Note: Going beyond Lv7 in fusion levels is much less beneficial because its increase in EXP-giving is really low.
Note2: We do not mention daemon's spirit requirement in fusion because it makes only about 1EXP difference per amount of spirit difference, so pay it no heed:
Note3: There is EXP difference when fusing: (all EXP are w/ Fusion Bonus)

Lastly, these exact EXP values are available in-game by waiting the non-level-up fusion animation finish, or going to your Settings>Fusion History.

...Pardon, I end up not separating these fusion tips in different posts instead :ohdear:

Hmm, interesting.

Notably however. Limit breaks automatically lock a card, so be careful with that when fusing now :v

Pull of the day: Dupe Musashi. (3*). He's not even in my color to benefit from limit break...

Relatedly, I do have some questions: Bell summons are basically huge whale traps, right? How in the world do they justify 3x+ the cost of a normal RS?

Wait, what!? *tries*
...Holy Carp. Really, Zynga? That is rather counter-productive, regardless that it's for not losing your limit-broken card.
.........Aah, the heck, this is a disaster. >-<

Anyway, Bell Summons are indeed huge whale traps IMO, and I dunno about justification. Some probably get lucky, most don't.

I missed my Day-3 Rare Summon orz...

Free summons~ Free Summons~

This is basically more generous than any other game ever right now, dang.
Hnn, the timing of this promo and the revival of an Ayakashi topic couldn't have been better. =w=
If you're looking for generous, I'm eyeing Magic School Lussid topping the most generous in my list right now, Valkyrie Crusade a close 2nd. MS Lussid is a fairly new CCG that boasts an event system letting you earn 4*-rarity servants and even 5*-rarity ones given enough playtime (and sortof leave you hungry for "completion"), while Valkyrie Crusade is a slightly younger CCG to Ayakashi which gives you just lots to do in-game.

Oh yeah the music was actually good too. Way better than Pad's one goddamn track that repeats over and over and over and over...
'Is also one reason why I stay in Ayakashi. They've been making at least one track (at most 2) in major events (Tower and Solo-Conquest) loop-playing at either 30 or 60 seconds.
You've prolly missed most of the tracks played in Ayakashi so far, and Zynga has removed the old BGMs in the app packages itself so you wouldn't be able to listen to them anymore. BUT! Ayakashi wiki (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Music) has the complete sound tracks, so you can listen to them to your heart's content! Most tracks prolonged for BGM listening by yours truly. :3

They try to get you with the fact that it's not tilted odds like the normal Rare Summon in the usual x% chance of 5* type dealie.  While there are multiple copies of some cards in there(of course they're the more common ones), -every card has the same exact chance to be pulled-. 

Each bell contains 80 possible pulls.  Each time you pull one, that instance is removed from the possibilities entirely.

For anyone who might have been using it, please note that Summon Bells are being discontinued at year'd end.

Also keep an eye out on your Rare Summons!  There are special daemons there with abilities specifically to help in the upcoming event, which is a solo Conquest.

Ahhh, it reduces phantom defense.

I first found it on lorelei, whos more of a defensive card, that's why i remember it being mediocre.

Ooh, a Phantom that recudes Phantom defense! They're good for special (but rare) cases, like if you want to fight a player with Phantom team or a Phantom tower wandering ghost with a "Reduces Divina ATK" skill when your strongest team is composed of Phantoms anyway.

Quote from: "All The Mira Love From Several People" on December 01, 2014, 03:18:17 AM
Chaore "Mira is fucking adorable, and yeah the entire interface sucks tbh, even still."
Suikama "The only reason I played it was for Mira + the story lol"
hyorinryu "Was Mira the assistant person? I think that was the main reason i bothered too."
Jq1790 "Yeah, Mira is the girl who calls you Master and all that who hangs around you.  Pretty sure she's there so dialogue can happen in story events etc. though she also does the job of being stupidly cute."
I feel rather ashamed that I almost forgot about listing Mira as one of why I stay in Ayakashi :ohdear:...

Anyway, Mira is probably the most cutest/adorable-est navigation companion amongst the many games (mostly fellow CCGs) that has a navi companion right beside you. >w>

As a special Mira-related trivia, Mira's Japanese name is かがみ/Kagami, which means mirror, rooting from her being a Mirror Anima. Now, probably calling her Kagami in the English-localized one would make it sound rather English-foreign, so I guess Zynga went and changed her name to something English-y. Kagami is mirror, then mirror romaji is ミラー/mirā with 'a' prolonged, hence her name Mira and her commenting in Chp3 part 2-1 (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_Three:_A_New_Colleague) of
"[...] I know Mira sounds like mirror, but..."
.

For more cute, in the Japanese, she calls you, the ghost agent, as あるじ* or aruji, and she refers to herself in 3rd person.
[attach=1]
Dialogue reference from the event, Camelot Academy for Ghosts (http://ayakashi-ghost-guild.wikia.com/wiki/%22Camelot_Academy_for_Ghosts%22).
Changing the game language is kinda easy. Just set your phone's locale/system language to Japanese then run the game. ' 3'

Yeah, she seems situationally useful- I just had remembered lorelei first. I also rolled Jared at the first, who's the same except anima and with a weaker skill.

Theoretically, I have an advantage over any team but divina right now once I get enough cost.

...really, transmigrating her though.

Roll of the day was the Boeman anima, doesn't seem particularly useful for me, but nice.

Phantom. It is actually giving me a hefty amount of peace of mind, and now I can sell daemons I won't have use of.

You might have to choose one origin you prefer as well. Maybe not now, but soon. We won't have enough storage for all the daemons we save, temporarily get, and store for later fusing.
...But then, sentimental value. I know. ;w;

Coincidentally, I found this comic (http://kazuderp.tumblr.com/post/90942036343/a-story-behind-the-golden-apples) about selling daemons...
Chaore, you would never ever do this to your (bunny) daemons. 'Goes to everyone else, I guess; it just so happens that the comic is about someone Chaore would likely love keeping because~ >w>

I was troubled before which color/origin I want to stay with. There isn't enough room for daemon inventory as well, much more that Silver Apples became more valuable now. I then decided I'll go for Phantom. It is actually giving me a hefty amount of peace of mind, and now I can sell daemons I won't have use of.

Orz. Yeah I'd be too weak willed to ever sell her, no matter how useless she is in the long-run. It'll likely be the same with the event 4* from the SB event... ^^'

Or sell most of my >3* cards so far. It seems like a bad trade for how hard they can be to get.

I'm prolly going phantom myself, Divina has possibly one of the easiest exp farms with all the early sealstones, but my phantom cards so far have a strong lead with Qingming/Asmodeus/Jared/Medea so far.

Post by: Jq1790 on December 18, 2014, 04:07:25 AM
Of note, I'm pretty sure Divina has a "easily" obtained(Sealstone) daemon that's 4* and has an Atk boosting skill for the party.  Not sure on that though, but I think I read that once someplace.

Cool that you're being a Phantom-user too though.  Seems like that's how a lot of us are ending up.  My path was influencedlast Halloween, but  cemented upon my first 5* acquisition.

As much as I want to focus my stats for Conquest events, I ended up deciding to use the one golden apple I had to pour 100 points into my Health so I can more quickly work on my more long term goals whch will require quite a lot of levels still(A bit under 30, I think, from where I'm at.)

Still gonna try my best in any that pop up along the way of course, but my more serious efforts on those will be later, probably in a couple months at the rate I'm going.

...I am genuinely worried for Pipe Fox on the event that's starting right now. :ohdear:

I was planning to get Pipe Fox [Xmas Eve] by getting to the usual First Half  Ranking's 5,000th range, but...it seems they had a rewards overhaul because of the game-changing Limit Break feature, thus making him easier to acquire.
75% of me approves of this because now he is obtainable without using much items (probably) and sharing the love across more people wanting to obtain such daemons, and 25% of me disapproves because they seem to decrease the stats of new 5*'s non-limit-broken daemons...

Good luck for everyone's goal for this event!


Ayakashi needs more fanarts, especially event-related ones. ;w;

Relatedly, holy shit, chronos looks amazing. I'm setting my goals for holly though. 70 seems like a struggle, but well worth it for her.

Edit: also, it's showing the reverse for me.

3000+ place to get pipe sounds rough. Conquest points to even rank are like, 1000+ for me too...

Ranking rewards are really hard ingeneral, much less for people who havent been around for several months.  Holly is a pretty good goal for now, so good luck!

Gonna see how far I've come and figure out how well I can do without items since I'm still not ready for ranking attempts i'm pretty sure.

Wonder how far I can scrape my way to?

So far at 20, holly is definitely on sight.

Gonna be OP OP.

Edit: 30 cybear bested. Also, rolled a LEGEND MAGATAMA and...my first actual 5*, SPRING BREEZE.

She's even phantom. The only 'downside' is she's defensive, which is still fine.

Relatedly, is there any documentation on if transmigratable units keep their limit break during transmigration?
Title: Re: Ayakashi Ghost Guild Topic Resurrection?
Post by: Lloyd Dunamis on December 19, 2014, 07:23:15 AM
In early levels, it is faster if you would find & attack Cybear with near-minimum spirit cost, so that less spirit is forcibly consumed. Then check the ATK Spirit you consumed to know how many minutes you have to wait before you find & confidently defeat the next-level Cybear.

On higher levels, or levels where you make use of all your spirits before you defeat Cybear, you'll most likely make use of the Cybear's "duration before it escapes" for natural spirit regeneration to be able to attack it again. Just don't forget to set an alarm or something so it does not escape. (preferably 8-15 minutes before it escapes)

Holly is obtainable at Lv70, which on previous Solo Conquests w/o LimitBreak the 3rd daemon was obtainable only at Lv80. 'Should be easier to obtain, methinks. They have increased the boss's overall HP for all levels though, so that might pose some difficulty for newcomers & veterans alike. Be mindful of the boss's HP spikes where the reward is the daemon him/herself.

Community Spreadsheet for a comprehensive list of levels & their HPs & rewards over here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zs-AXl9xxRCvH-Pc7dyX_ggVyC3vkyabk6o5zwqlq18/edit#gid=0).

She's a really great Phantom DEF team, since you don't worry about the offensive team having daemons of different colors/origins.

Yeah, her skill looks amazing. I mean really I'm not complaining, I just find attack>defense in this game so far.

Also that's -very- useful for 4* to 5* cards then, I should probably dump my 4* da liu into medea and maybe consider seeing if I can hold off on her till I get a few more...
