Got a thing detailing what SP cards do.  (courtesy of Hakimiru from PF)

Holy shit you have no idea how badly I have wanted translations on those

Thoughts on the gatcha? Looking at it, the only one that seems particularly interesting is red, though I don't know much about Kishouten. I aleady have Peridot and Harpy doesn't seem very good. As for blue, I don't care for Aqua Lord. Anubis doesn't seem bad as a sub though.

I need blue dudes period so that's what I'm pulling. I'll be fine with Anubis or Lise (but I'm sure you can tell who I'm gunning for here, Lise is a defensive Ariel holy shit)

Anubis is a damage boost (Worse than skill efficacy) on Five Card+ (insanely difficult to pull off for obvious reasons) on Ace only (Where you want a number of different cards).

He's an awful sub.

As a main card he has 100% taunt chance on non-red targets however, and has second highest blue damage output on non-icon weak red bosses. He's just awful for colo because he fuses with undine.

Aqua Lord, conversely, is an amazing sub for water icon cards. 35% skill efficacy on straight+.

Lise is probably the best water-icon card, boasting buffing and the most blue damage you can get vs. non-icon weak red bosses. So uh, blues...okay? Really specific though.

Red is pretty great just because Pearl is there and very valuable, Kisshouten is an acceptable card and Behemoth is pretty okay.

Green is... I'm not sure. Peri is good, but Merlin I don't tend to value too highly, and Harpy is supposedly acceptable now but I'm hella sketch on her.



Also I'm totally stealing those for the wiki.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

So I did a round of Colo last night.

Worst team matchup possible. I literally was stuck with three partners far lower level than anyone else in the whole round. Meanwhile the other team had a fucking level 228, and I'm still wondering what the shit they were doing in Knight Rank. There really should be a rule against that.

Either way the 130 on my team and one of the 5x people quit as soon as they saw the team match up. The other two ran away after our entire team was wiped out by a Noel enhanced by the 228's Snow White. What a bunch of cowards.

But I stayed. And I think I held my own pretty fucking well.


This was one of the few times when having all CPUs helps, because anyone low rank in Colo seems to be inexplicably incompetent in making hands work, while the CPU followed my lead with straights almost every turn. On turn 3 I made a point of Sealing the lv. 228 dude so he couldn't pull off any more AOE bullshit.

We I did not win, but you can see how close the match was. The vast majority of their BP came from turn 1's Snow White/Noel wipeout, and I refused to let them have much more.



Second place may as well be a fucking victory for me.

[hyorinryu]

They might not have been cowards, Dorapo has been freezing and crashing a lot for me lately. Not to mention, I got stuck with this one match:

[Zengar Zombolt]

Maybe it's your phone? I've had no problems at all, beyond certain stuff with a bad connection.

[hyorinryu]

Yeah, I'm thinking it might have been my connection.

[Chaore]

The black card thing is just a random fuck you bug.

I've gotten it quite a bit.

[hyorinryu]

I've gotten it quite a bit.

What do you do when you get it? Do you leave, since if you don't know what any of the suits, the CPU will probably do better, or just throw stuff out hoping for the best. I got lucky that match(Might not have been the only one there, though. It was pretty annoying though, since I took a huge hit in the rankings.

You don't get medals if you leave so I stay.

I also work in stacks, so i get my allies to report what number and card I played then work from there.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Nah, they were cowards. Either that bug happens ALL the time or people run away all the time :V

Don't see the point in that. You're probably right. Isn't your ranking determined by BP and not wins and losses?


In other news I need to figure out how to target stuff. Hellhound should be biting Zeus and not the boxes next to him, especially when they haven't been capped yet. Despite said problems, I managed to achieve King rank in Colloseum.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Medals won, and BP in case of a tie.

Just touch your target! Unless it's random like Mammon's multihit.

[Chaore]

tapping your target does it, it is incredibly important because multihits smash everything if you don't

you can only do it -exactly- on your turn though which is annoying

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Lise is SO GOOD

All you ever need to do with her is use her once to buff yourself. Generally this will be +3 defense more often than not. The next time you use her, since this will likely put you past +5, she'll give the entire buff to EVERYONE-- not just a measly +1 or something-- if you roll a 3, EVERYONE gets a 3 so long as I get past +5.

What a beautiful card.

[Zengar Zombolt]

New event is pretty interesting. Apparently SS of the respective foods can be Skillup for a particular element in general like genies were?

[Chaore]

This is correct. The winged/bird SS skills up elemental icons, and the snake ss skills up healers in red, shield in blue, and skull icons in green.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

The witch appears to be a skull type as well, so it's probably a good idea to save your green vials for her.

Meanwhile I'm torn on what to do with my red ones, since my Dryad is SL7. I have a lot of reds who can use the EXP, but this is also a prime time to skill up Pinoko too...

[Zengar Zombolt]

Uh, has anyone been hanging up a lot today? I can't even finish a single wave of any dungeon without the game freezing.

[hyorinryu]

Uh, has anyone been hanging up a lot today? I can't even finish a single wave of any dungeon without the game freezing.

That happened to me a bit yesterday and the day before

[MatsuriSakuragi]

This always happens to me, without fail, if I am playing on mobile data, and has been the case for me for months now. I refuse to play dorapo on anything but a stable wifi connection anymore because otherwise it's just a waste of stamina and sanity.

[hyorinryu]

I'm really tempted to roll blue right now. I kinda want red and green. Want something to replace Tichelle and maybe Klaus. Then again, I do have witch lady/Ama for red and zeus for green. If I'm looking at replacing Klaus, I should probably look at replacing Demare and Dagon.

In particular, I'm looking at Ham and Safi. I know Ham is kinda a mixed bad, but Safi seems nice. I heard she was a good sub at least.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Roll blue.

Safi is pretty cool (a chance of an AOE defense and agility boost with a chance of refresh on straight+), Lise is incredible (1-5 hits, gain +DEF based on however many hits you did (it's usually 3), and if using her would make your DEF go to +5, EVERYONE gets the boost based on what you rolled. Roll a 5 and EVERYONE gets +5), and Asmodeus is just an outright beast (3 hits with a chance to paralyze, and if your HP is over 80%, paralysis chance on all opponents).

You really can't go wrong with any of them.

Green is decent too. Chaore tells me Qued is a paralyzing machine and Demeter is a really good enhance with great stats for an enhance, and Galahad is a 100% accuracy multihit with a chance for extra hits, but with weaker damage for each hit, which actually doesn't sound all that great. But Qued and Demeter are good.

Red is... ghhh, I wouldn't roll it unless you really needed it. Nikita's got some neat effects (multihit with a chance of paralysis, and boosted damage if you're hitting someone who's already paralyzed), but her damage is kinda low. She seems really useful if she's AOE boosted though. Joker, from what I understand, is just pure damage-- multihit with extra hits given for each +4 stat you have. Seems really situational and niche at best. Ham would be paired really well with the event Witch right now, but that defense debuff... well, at least he's pretty cool at SL7 where the debuff is -1 instead of -2 and there's only a 40% chance of it happening.

Still. Blue is the way to go if you ask me.

[Chaore]

Yeahp, Matsy is completely on point.

Ham can get pretty beastly once we get chronos back of note- Vesty+Chronos is an instant +4 attack to all from the ham master. The problem is you leave yourself open to the defense debuff since you also need a +15% skill efficacy for +2 natural.

Really he wants +buffs in general to be good.

Nikita I uh, we figured out what happened. She now checks for her paralyze -every- hit, so her damage potential has skyrocketed.

So she's literally better than galahad now and pretty strong since her +damage state is the same as three hits.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Okay so maybe roll red if you're optimistic.

But for real, you cannot go wrong with blue because the worst case pull you could get (Safi) is still pretty damn good.

[hyorinryu]

Yeah. I knew Blue was the best right now. I was just weighing it against me wanting reds and greens, though thinking about it, I can still use blue. What do you guys do when you guys run out of space. that's the problem I usually run into. I'm thinking I'll get rid of some of the rares, especially when I have another one at skill lvl 3. I don't get a stone for evolving one if I already evolved a copy(i.e. evolving an S-rank Merrow if I already evolved the one I started with), right?

[Chaore]

Yeah that's still completely correct.

Blue is really the only completely non-boker roll color right now.

I still want a joker just for the hell of it though.

Level more usually and get rid of Ns/Fully Evolved Rs I no longer need.

[hyorinryu]

Man, 80+ stones and I only got Rize. I was hoping for at least one other one.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I've spent more than that and got nothing before. Any SS is good luck. Be happy you got the best one.

[hyorinryu]

Ouch. I was under the impression that it was like 1 in 10. So she's the best one? I thought Asmodeus was pretty crazy, or was that just Heltares?

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Oh hell no. The thing is about Dragon Poker is that stones are typically easier to obtain, but the SS rate is absolute, undeniable, irredeemable shit.

And I guess it's a tossup. Elementals aren't that fantastic with damage outside of hitting the element they're strong against, but Lise is one of the best support cards I've seen in a while. Being able to pass high defense boosts to your whole team after giving yourself a huge boost is extremely useful. In addition to this, she gets extra exp from the event fodder right now-- I've already got her to God level.

Asmodeus is fantastic too, no lie. It's just that she's pretty strictly offensive when Lise does nice multihit damage while providing good support to your team at the same time. I love it.
