Puzzle & Dragons VIII - DO NOT PURSUE LU BU Edition

[Chaore]

Also, the next survey dungeon isn't flame chaser like previously reported by LYING PIGDOGS

It's looking to be wicked lady for some reason.

...i really wanted perse this godfest ;w;

[MatsuriSakuragi]

:getdown:

yesssssssssssssss

On the plus side (for both of us) the chinese gods look to be getting two ultis- and unless i missed you pull one, you have one for both forms! (Which may come in useful for certain team comps.)

True, true. That said we still don't know what the hell they even do, so I can't help but ponder (please let one be physical or attacker or healer)

and huh, I pulled a Wicked Lady from the Pal Egg Machine this morning. May as well skill her up!

[Ghaleon]

challenge+collab+pirate cleared myself 5 more stones for another pull. lemon dragon.. Not sure what I'll use it for but I seem to recall seeing someone clear twinlits with a lemon dragon team somehow (I'm not seeing how atm) and virtually no effort  to boot.

[Suikama]

oh shit 7 tamadra

but i dont have the box space for all that because the topdroid ult evo isnt out yet and i didnt get anything good this godfest :<

[Edible]

I will always have more need for tamadra than I have tamadra.  Bring 'em the fuck on.

[Edible]

Also, my godfest itch was too itchy so I rolled once.

Ares.

My fucking red team, I swear to god.

Edit: Uriel, Shiva, Kagutsuchi, Goemon, Ame no Uzume, Freyr, Hera-Ur, Asuka, and now Ares.  Seriously, what the fuck.

[Suikama]

Wow that pretty much optimal aside from maybe ROdin :V

[triangles]

Hey maybe you ought to use that damn red team sometime eh?

They gave me 10 log in bonus stones help I shouldn't roll but I kind of want to but I don't want my 6th goddamn Shardra  :ohdear:

[Jq1790]

I FINALLY HAVE ONE MYSTIC MASK.

Only one, but still.  It's more than I expected from the Wednesday dungeon.

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

[Janitor Morgan]

Siren/Hera/Hades/Luci/Bluebird Blues/a friend's freshly pulled Odin (yes, really) seemed to be good enough for running Hera this time around! ~*~autoheal~*~

Now I just need to get a couple more onyx masks and another dark keeper, and operation "insert stone, receive Zeus" will be moving right along. If we're getting all of the whiskey dragons, Caol-ila's dungeon will help a lot too.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Meanwhile I'm just glad that none of my immediate evolutions require a Mystic Mask.

'Course once I get around to ult evolving my Tyrannos I'll be hugging the weekday dungeons

[Jq1790]

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

Oh shoot, should've payed closer attention and let you use my odin. Sorry. ;w;

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

Also. I have a decently leveled isis now between supers I fed because I don't use much else and all the skill ups for her.

Somewhere, my past self is crying.

[Suikama]

Somewhere, my past self is crying.

:justasplanned:


in other news, skilling up hera is still dumb and will probably take years to complete

[The Greatest Dog]

While skilling up Hera sounds awful, imagine getting Ceres and Amaterasu skill maxed.

Nope. Not happening, unless we ever get a universal skill up mob.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Looks like Lady Luck smiled in my direction for a while there, two myhtlits drops in a single run of Blazing Highway and a Super multiplier when I fed my Horus five Fire Pengdras, giving him 6 levels :V

Wonder if I can reliably do fire keeper now, though, I'll need two in the near future.

[O4rfish]

The Rot3K gods are strong enough to allow even humorous theme teams to pwn.

[Jq1790]

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

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

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

[The Greatest Dog]

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

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

[Suikama]

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

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

[Jq1790]

Do you think this team can take Hera's dungeon?

D/D Batman(unevo'd, Lv. MAX)
Lv. 55 Vampire Lord
Lv. 46 Dark Dragon Knight
Lv. MAX Keeper of Rainbow
Lv. MAX Succubus
(this space for rent by friend Odin)

[triangles]

How much HP will that get you?  You need ~16,000 if you aren't running a dark resist lead to survive Hades even with Odin.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

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

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

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

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

[Mr. Sacchi]

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

Level 30 Firedragon Tyrannos, Level 42 Horus, Level 31 Rowdy Red Samurai Goblin, Level 70 Echidna, Level 70 Volcano Dragon.

That's 5810 HP, 1107 RCV and 3753 ATK.

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

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

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

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

her Ares and my Freyr, but you can use hers more often since I main Haku and she always has Ares up.

[Bio]

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

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

Yeah since I've got Ama-oo and Neptune my lineup is Ama-oo/RK/RK/RK/Neptune/GOdin, same deal. Painfully slow but safe. (Hell I can even afford to fail to match on Hera once per Ama cooldown... and sometimes I am actually half-asleep by then soooooooooooo :V)

[Yukarin]
