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 Lu Bu (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, Ares, Bastet (<3), Horus, Isis, Idunn & Idunna, Hermes, Archangel Lucifer, Odin, Loki, Persephone, Parvati, and many others.  Feel free to ask!

...I feel like PaD is suffering from Spectacle Creep in terms of its monster designs. They gotta go bigger, badder, more intimidating...Then again it beats what Brave Frontier is doing with its Six-Star Heroes :V Some of them just look...Silly.

Important Notice: In JP baby tama has been patched to only bind leaders 90% of the time.

So...If you stall there, you end up with 30+ bound leaders.

Yeah. Unknown if this is in twinlits, but it is definitely in Trifruits and it is awful.

I'm kind of at the point where I've given up for now and am working on skilling up Vamp and making a fully Awakened King Bubblie

I recently needed a few Dubruby and Dubmyths.  Two weeks I didn't find a single one from normal or Friday. And then just last week I have somehow amassed 8 of them and I don't have anything to use them on.  And you just know if you fodder them off there'll be a great drought again.

I have gotten more Dragon Fruits than Dragon Seeds in my 9 runs today.
I will never ever be as upset about that as I am with 34 more cacti to evolve  :ohdear:

I heard they might do multiple stat-typing, like healer/physical, which wouldn't really make sense. Admittedly it would make more sense than calling Lu Bu a god.

healer/physical would make sense for some monsters like BOdin since he's physical and yet has crazy high RCV :V

Awww yeaaaa got the S rank on the collaboration.

While I got 9000 points from my combo ability, 0 points from turns taken, and 135000 from team rarity.

TAMADRApurin, Verche, Big Baddie, yellow garbage, yellow garbage, and TAMADRApurin did the job.

1-stone my first attempt at Hera-Ur. (Didn't drop Minerva as fast as planned and couldn't quite keep up with healing after Barrage Bomb.) Only Legend but I got the main attraction drop. :3 Some more stats and maybe changing up my more flexible slots some and I could probably handle it consistently.

Isis isn't as good as Mastering ;) (and/or Big Woodsie and Hobgoblin I guess)

Grats on 6maxing her.

Also Isis is on a roll lately in terms of power gain, Her active is now baller as fuck, she's gotten her skillups again, she has a great alternative leader...

And they just made trifruits kinda heavily favor bind-proof leaders. Yeah. :v

P.S. News from JP twinlits: That baby tamadra does not do the same thing as trifruits tama.

So current methods DO still work.

Welp that's odd cause Isis is better at twinlits than trifruit because Wood element everywhere argggg

Maybe I should try using Gigas over Siegfried since he's still physical...
