Puzzles and Dragons 12: Magic Stones and Loathing in Las Dungons

[The Greatest Dog]

I can personally confirm dark keepers are still a thing in there.
But I've been using Stone Dragons for my dark and light keeper needs so I just run it for the rainbow keeper itself. :V

Unfortunately, I always find myself wanting to do something else on mondays.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I just made an "immortal" Noah team.

just a little less than 200k HP
4000 autoheal per turn
huge RCV
two bindproof, two half-bindproof
LMeta can dissolve binds like nothing in case Noah happens to get bound anyway due to active and awakening
Gabriel can fuel recovery and bind recovery with hearts
4 water rows to speed things along if need be
BOdin and GOdin and LMeta can not only allow me to use Vast Dawn twice in one turn, but also safeguard me from being murdered due to lack of HP afterward

...but I need to be rank 270 to use the team :fail:

(also, Pink REM incoming! now including fairytale girls, B/L Metatron, and green valk)

[Chaore]

m E R C Y PLEASE

NOT THE VALK REM

ANYTHING BUT THAT

[Edible]

I might roll for the 0.00005% chance of getting a Wetatron.

[hyorinryu]

Oooo...Devil Rush. Do you think we might get a Greek Rush for ulted Athena?

[Jq1790]

Devil Rush?  Where'd you see that at?  I tried looking on PDX and didn't see anything.  Not that it'll matter to ME, per se, but it sounds interesting.

trance had a link last night, you fight Super DZomb, Mephisto, someone I can't remember, and Satan in a row.

[commandercool]

Woo, looks like pink REM is back. I can use anything except the black one eventually, with priority to Ruka. Have enough for two pulls now, and between free stones, dungeons, and login bonus I should be able to do 3-4 more before it goes away if it lasts a week. I'm a little hesitant about throwing away my stones since if I do I know Sun Quan will be on the next godfest, but whatever. Should probably place my bets on the more likely outcome.

[The Greatest Dog]

so max level ults guaranteeing skill ups also.means duplicate sticker girl drops won't be wasted, either
which means I don't mind rolling four Rukas anymore. Just need two more. :V

[Espadas]

To whomever of you put up GOdin as leader today: THANK YOU.

It was only thanks to you that i was able to clear the last stage of Polar Night Tower. The final boss hit me for 3/4 of my life even with Odin's damage reduction so i would have been OHKO without fail....
I guess i'll have to farm pengdras like hell because i'm way too underleveled.

What do you think i should focus on right now?
My actual team is Karin 23, Lilith 42, Echidna 28, Keeper of Forest, Dub-Sapphilit (i'm Rank 50 and i still have Gigas lv30, Keeper of Flame and a few power-up away from Firedragon Tyrannos)

[Bio]

You really aren't supposed to get hit by the Leviathan in Polar Night, it has a 5 turn timer so you have at least 4(+3) turns to do  200k damage.  This shouldn't be particularly difficult if you activate Karin every turn.  Or at least 80% of the time.

[commandercool]

Is there any information yet about where the skillup material monsters will be found? I see they're nearly officially out in Japan, but nothing about how easy getting them will be.

Welcome to the midgame!

I remember when clearing your first descending dungeon meant you were lategame. Good times.

I WAS SO FUCKING PROUD BECAUSE JESUS SIREN PLZ COME BACK UP FASTER HERA IS MURDERING MY WEAK ASS SELF

and then like

'hi so about hera being a worthwhile achievement...'

Well, she still is.  It's just that there are now levels above her.  The only thing that diminishes Hera's achievement value now is Awakenings making her dungeon MUCH easier than it used to be.  I wonder what it'd be like if we could toggle em off just to see what it was like back then...I have no idea if I could actually survive that at ALL, haha.

It's completely trivial now with all the awakenings giving free health. If you're using Odin. all you have to is match a set every turn if and you're good. Before, you had to match hearts almost every turn if you wanted to live, though you'd have to make more matches to make more hearts drop. Not  to mention a lot of modern spike teams just can just effortlessly waltz over her. Part of the reason that she was seen as such a milestone was because most teams used gravities to be able to burst bosses, but teams don't do that anymore.

[commandercool]

Yeah, I cleared her without Odin earlier and it was close. Hades orbtrolled me something fierce and I had to pop some skills on him, which meant I couldn't kill Hera as quickly as I should have been able to. At one point I was at 500 HP and only survived because I got a couple of lucky skyfalls. Definitely couldn't have finished it on that run without my newly max-skilled Echidna. And I certainly would have lost without awakenings, since I needed autoheal and blue rows to do as well against Hera as I did.

And once again the fact that Valkyrie isn't skillupped was a painful hindrance on a descend. I really need skillups or I'm afraid I probably won't be able to get much further. I'm slowly creeping my team toward max level, and soon I'll have Ruka to slot into the team wherever I can afford to make space for her to give it a little more consistency, but what I feel like I really need is to be able to rely more confidently on Valkyrie to be ready when I want her.

There are "ura" versions of the vampire technical dungeon, it is reported that someone has seen those spawn in there. The encounter/drop rates are unknown but probably low.
It costs 1million coins to unlock the dungeon for an hour.
The dungeon itself is twenty something stamina to play, and gives really good exp (reported to give like 20k).
However it is also difficult as heck.

Edit: Apparently all these "coin dungeons" are regarded as new dungeons. So you get a stone for clearing them. Gotta go earn more coins now on weekends. :V

Wow, interesting. By "vampire technical dungeon" do you mean the technical Castle Of Satan? Coins are actually something now, which is interesting. I like the sound of this a lot.

So many things I want to skillup. King Shynee, Ruka, all of my Eva guys... Max skill Misato and Asuka sound great. The Eva team could sort of do things. Even if it takes forever to get them the fact that it's possible is nice.

Been gathering info from a taiwan forum.
So 5 technical dungeons starting from Castle of Satan gets an "ura" version.
Each drops a corresponding skillup colour, e.g. you can get red ones from Castle of Satan.
To give you an idea of how difficult they are, someone said demons hits you for 17k per turn, and only got his first red skillup guy after 11 runs.
For stuff like King Shynee, you're better off feeding its own kind I guess, this is a godsend for collab stuff though.

I'm currently poor from feeding +eggs to my stuff so I can't try any of these dungeons.  :fail: Who would've thought there'd be a day I look forward to weekend dungeon so much? :V

[Chaore]

that's kind of absurdly miserable given that's a thing that skill ups actively keep you from clearing

I mean, of COURSE they don't do anything right but that's really damn bad.

Haha. It's funny because there's a guy talking about how he doesn't like it because it kinda invalidates all the collab farming and stuff.  Not that I agree though.

I hear that the dungeons aren't that hard, that just about any decent farming team can clear it.

What a fucking tosser.

if that's the people you're listening to, that's probably whale 'pinions.

[trancehime]

You also fight Beelzebub and Vampire Duke.


Well, I am sure kosuke will upload videos of the coin dungeons at some point so we can see

EDIT: It was discovered that Mechdragon Rush is now one of the top dungeons to get rank EXP, you will get 53k EXP per run and it can be farmed with a Pandora team. If you are rank 960+, you can do Mythical difficulty 10 times before expending a stone. You would need approximately 8500 stones if you wanted to continuously rank up on Mechdragon Rush between 900 to 999. RIP

[Zerviscos]

I just made an "immortal" Noah team.

I never thought you could actually go beyond 100k hp. Guess I was wrong. It was just nearly impossible.

Well, she still is.  It's just that there are now levels above her.  The only thing that diminishes Hera's achievement value now is Awakenings making her dungeon MUCH easier than it used to be.  I wonder what it'd be like if we could toggle em off just to see what it was like back then...I have no idea if I could actually survive that at ALL, haha.

She's pretty much the starter descended card every mid-late to late-early players and non-IAPs need for clearing later descended dungeons. So it's actually a good thing that's it easy IMO. Unless that dude has a complete sweep team which most are gathered from REM, it'll still be pretty hard to do most descended dungeons. TBH, my Devil sweep team is still incomplete without an orb changer like Ronia. Even with friend Ronias, it still takes around 2x full board sweep for a OHKO on some descended bosses for me.

Hera is now also a Normal dungeon on the Japanese servers.



Just saying.

I hope I can still get a Magic Stone out of that. :^)

Be like Oronain. 167x for his own Wetatron.

I have every girl from the Fairy Tale series, plus an extra Riding Hood.
I'd rather take the chance on another Godfest or the Batman REM, rather than 4x rates on the Fairy Tale series.

Edit: It's rather disappointing they just keep making Special Gods/cards of the same name and origin, instead of just extending the existing ones.
