Try number 3 of the room of the mask, running the resolve team again since apparently me getting help from Chaore is still on cooldown.

Everything goes smoothly until the boss, skyfalls troll me again (admittedly though, it was partially my fault for miscalculating) and I kill the last mask in the fourth wave before being fully prepared, thankfully I still had 8 water orbs and the resulting new orbs gave me another 2 water orbs, so I make 2 AoE strikes for a total of 12 damage.

And then none of the new 10 orbs that spawn are water, so I have to make do with fire. I get the mystic mask to one HP before going down.

This game hates me.

Urgh, I don't even want the Mystic Mask anymore, just give me a freaking Carmine Mask so I can evo my echi and be done with this foolishness until rank 68!

@E:

Also, out of curiosity, how do Awakenings stack with resistances? And with themselves, for that matter.

For example, say I'm running a Drawn Joker Leader with a team that has, in total, 5 Dark Defense Awakenings, does that make it a 60% reduction or something else entirely? :derp:

Sorry, I passed out for like 7 hours for some reason >>' Should be up again shortly.

Ghaleon · « **Reply #632 on:** April 09, 2014, 11:25:52 PM »

It stacks multiplicatively. So if you have 50% resist via leader and 10% via awakening, you'll end up with 55%

Suikama · « **Reply #633 on:** April 09, 2014, 11:29:16 PM »

The resist awakenings themselves stack additively though. Well they do on the same monster I think? I'm not sure about if they are on different monsters like 1 dark resist on Hera + 1 dark resist on Drawn Joker vs 2 on drawn joker

No problems, it doesn't really matter anyway, it's apparently still on cooldown since I can't select you on the helper screen.

Totally random thought, but the SDM would actually make a pretty good descend :V

A lot of descends now seem to have a Dragon boss, a Healer boss, a sub boss, then the actual Boss.

Dragon boss: Meiling
Healer boss: Patchy
Sub boss: Sakuya
Boss: Remilia

:V :V

Also the green ripper dragon boss starts out asleep IT'S SO PERFECT :getdown:

Also also
Meiling: Physical/Dragon
Patchy: Healer
Sakuya: Attacker
Remilia: Devil/Balanced?
Flan: Devil/Attacker
Cirno: Enhance material

Seems odd that such a sickly person would be a healer. Patches seems more a balanced type to me.

Suikama · « **Reply #637 on:** April 10, 2014, 12:07:58 AM »

Healers generally have the lowest HP though

also if she's so frail yet somehow not dead then that means her RCV is probably pretty high :V :V

Also Koakuma -> Succubus -> Healer

Oh hey gold dragons tomorrow

*Weekend Leaders*
[Duration]: 4/12 (Sat), 12:00 AM - 4/13 (Sun), 11:59 PM (PST)

One must have great courage to face one's enemies!

4/12 - Athena Descended!
4/13 - Zeus Descended!
4/12 - 4/13 - Dragon in Motley

As a bonus for this special weekend, *1000 Pal Points* are being awarded to players each day!

Dragon in Motley's the only thing relevant to me here, though I'll have to hold myself back from spending the PAL points so I can get better stuff later on when a bonus shows up, like Jewel/Metal dragons, etc.

Chaore · « **Reply #639 on:** April 10, 2014, 03:14:28 AM »

Huh. 2 day dragon in motley.

That's more than I'd expected we'd ever get of it again. I'm not sure if It's worth breaking to try and get a few pierdrawn over CoC for me, though.

Well if you have any need of Pierdras it might be worth it, since CoC comes around pretty often compared to other things(kinda like ECO Collab). I mean, i'm pretty sure I've seen it three or four times since I started at least, not counting my hiatuses.

Yeah kinda. This is the third time that I can remember myself.

Pierdra likewise is super rare- I just have really low expectations of getting enough pierdra from it to be worth it, honestly- and I'm honestly probably being forced to phase out Luci anyway.

but green pirate isn't even up

also don't do black pirate because it's really annoying (otherwise I'd be farming it for red pirates because my shiva team is actually crap without chiyome skill ups)

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #644 on:** April 10, 2014, 04:29:01 AM »

By the way Chaore, the Helper List has -finally- refreshed, if you wouldn't mind putting up your Shiva?

(Or literally any of you who has a Shiva)

@E:

Eh nevermind, Ruby dragons is here and I have four pengdras waiting for their evolutions.

The Greatest Dog · « **Reply #645 on:** April 10, 2014, 05:18:27 AM »

Caved in, ult evo'd Lilith to the "Who needs clothing?" edition.

People keep saying for stuff like Lilith and Archangel and the Ripper and Late Bloomer ults that, if you can get the trifruits and twinlits then you probably already have an endgame team and therefore better members.

What bothers me is that, I -can- get trifruits and twinlits without issues, but I really don't have the teams full of Ronias, Shiva, and everything that people like to flaunt about on YouTube. I really could improve my Valkyrie team, for example, if I put the ult Holy Dragon on there, especially since Lilith isn't a healer anymore.

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #646 on:** April 10, 2014, 05:42:45 AM »

Oh hey, it sure is nice of GungHo to give 1000 points a day after the free twinlits and trifruits are gone. Christ.

Riders are okay and are getting upgrades soon. But I'd still suggest rerolling. Riders serve more of a purpose as utility subs than leaders (which is what you should really be pulling for when you start, a good leader).

What they all said - starting with a good leader makes the early stages so much easier. Here's a list of what you want to aim for with your freebie roll.

Jq1790 · « **Reply #654 on:** April 10, 2014, 03:50:09 PM »

Speaking of freebie pulls, the Premium Egg machine(the lv. 20 one) is getting an update to add the Noel dragons as possibilities. GungHo is also resetting the machines so if you used your pull you can do it again. Update is the 14th, so use your roll before then!

I love you.
I run TAMADRApurin, naturally, with Regulus, Valkyrie, Verche, and anything with two skill boosts (I personally use Green Odin because more bind immunities). Assuming Verche and Valkyrie are skilled to the max (thank you Gungho collab!) you can get turn one orb converters which is a big deal for orb trolling.

The biggest issue is if the TAMADRA binds Verche and Valkyrie which puts a damper on killing the Fruit and Flower simultaneously.
If all goes according to plan you can set up a giant board of light/heal/dark on the TAMADRA so you can pop all your converters/Regulus/TAMADRApurin for a OHKO.
[attach=1]

So yeah it's like... 80% reliable I guess?

I thought you didn't like grinding. You might as well use Luci, I'm pretty sure he'll be faster.
