Puzzle and Dragons 13: Always evolving to ensure you're always screwed over

[trancehime]

EDIT: what do i have to do to get dub-mythlit and mythilit to drop? Voodoo rituals? Mass murder? Offer them candies?  :fail:

all of the above

it took me 5 runs of technical dungeon to get 1 mythlit on x1.5 drop rate =)

important warning: Orb Enhance awakenings are going to be buffed, the Egyptian 2.0 may showcase this buff, so let's wait for it before making assumptions about the awakenings

Huh. As someone who's still honking around in descends with a 1/9/1 (or 1.35/9/1, which is even more relevant) team I can see the appeal of  these leader skills, but I agree that they seem a little underwhelming. I guess it depends on what "a little/a bit" is. Do we have precedent for that? 1.35 seems kind of exciting, 1.2 maybe not so much.

What do we think of these as subs? It's too bad Set didn't get time extend like the rest or I could see him as a Horus sub for sure. He could still make the cut, since his colors are very relevant and his active seems solid. Osiris seems like a great Athena sub too. Adds a 2-prong and a time extend and periodically guarantees prong activation.

[Suikama]

oh man if orb enhance awakening is buffed then I am hype for buffed Isis BV

Nuit + Isis oh babyyyy


Isis with Nuit and Muse Knight is already 5 +orb awakenings + a skill boost, time up, and some two prongs

I like where this is going


If they changed Isis' light orb awakening to two prong then oh boy

Just ran Thot+Sopdet on my break to burn stamina (and maybe beat up Meimei and steal her snowglobe, but no dice). It was really fun. Talk about a puzzle. More dungeons like that please.

[Jq1790]

Like an idiot I ran in there without looking at what the dungeon had in it.

Oh...uh hi Rainbow, how ya doing?

Oh, you're gonna cut me in half with that shiny rainbow sword of yours, huh?  Yeeeaah.  Bringing GZL in there in my team's current form will NOT work at ALL.

[Zerviscos]

Thanks for the 1.5x drop rate + x5 +egg drop rate in technical dungeons today.
Finally a reason for me to finish the Challenge mode of my remaining tech dungeons, even if you can't feel the x5 +egg drop rate.

[commandercool]

x5 +eggs has always been hit and miss for me. It's always nothing nothing nothing, 3 eggs from one dungeon, nothing.

[Edible]

I just realized I'm still not sure how TPA teams work.

[Jq1790]

I just realized I'm still not sure how TPA teams work.

Careful balamce between enough orbs to get 4matches with but not too many to break up groups of 4 with, it seems.

[Moogs Parfait]

Max skilled the the kingdoms twins and am just now using them. It's like a brand new game. Also got my first gold keeper out of pem. Probably going to save it for when a rem only monster needs it.

That literally just happened to me  :V

A question: i have an Awoken Hera (that is part of my team) and a second Hera that i just got to max level. When i evolve the second one, should i keep it for a second team slot or should i use it as Awakening fodder for the main one (like i originally intended to do)?

I ask because i noticed that certain descents requires 2 gravity users, and being a Karin user i'm not sure if i would be better off with double Hera or Hera + Hera-Is for double gravity....

[Suikama]

i got hype for new isis subs so i finally made myself a new sig :derp:

TIME TO FOOLISHLY YOLO ON THE PINK REM

e: oh boy my third kano

[Suikama]

Dragon Zombie isn't a technical so Genbu doesn't skill bind or use her hard-hitting ability :V

Updates on the ABE farming: Ruka is at skill level 4 and I have 25 unevolved Trickster Blues chilling out in my box now. I think it'd be way easier to call it quits here and focus on other things...

I also got that Captain Guard skillmaxed which is "oh okay that's neat I guess"

Daaaamn. What'd you do to get that many skillups and birds? I've spent less than a hundred stamina on anything else since this dungeon started and I'm nowhere near that.

[trancehime]

im never using coin dungeon again

trief to do ishtar snd failed horribly

EDIT: discovered a girl i got to play pad pulled bmeta

Well the first skillup came from a duplicate Ruka pull that I used to awaken, except it also happened to give a skillup. I spent maybe one or two stones on 2x drop rate to get more unevolved fodder, but overall I've just been plugging my stamina in this and going for King of the Gods to get my stamina refill a bit faster when I can.

Sounds about right. I should get there, but to be safe I've gotta keep running it. Haven't spent a stone yet, I'll have to see where I am on the next 2x drops before I make that call. But yeah, it sounds like you should be safe.

Dark Egypt 2.0 is 3 out of 6 colours 3x attack.
Wut. Why do they even create this.
I'll just wait for their ultimates 1 year later. Right now they're very underwhelming because of the generally easiness of the LS activation condition. They have extra hp/rcv and they all have easier activation condition than Egypts 1.0. Does not compute.

Although it seems their hp/rcv boost are both 1.35?
1.8/9/1.8 does sound powerful I guess?

Light Egypt 2.0 got a 25% gravity and her LS is 5 out of 6 colours 4.5x along with the hp/rcv boost. Sounds the most promising out of the bunch to me?

Drop Enhance buff is disappointingly simply increasing the damage of +orbs. the exact mechanics is still unknown but right now it sounds to me it'll continue be useless in combo/rainbow teams but makes row teams even more powerful by stuffing in a fruit dragon (RGB fruit dragon has 3 orb enhances in addition to 2 rows, so yea GG)

The 2nd wave of buffs are also in.

You misread it. The description says that matched Enhance orbs from the awakening give monsters of the same color as those enhanced orbs a damage increase. Each individual Orb Enhance awakening is a 4% damage increase, according to Murako's tweet.

[Bio]

DOUBLE TWO PRONG HINO, FINALLY HE HAS A USE.
This is also not the Okuni buff I was looking for.

[Thaws]

Oh okay.
Hmm.. So say a team with orb enhances would mean all orbs that skyfell naturally would be +orbs and they kind of have a permanent 1.2x?
That sounds ok I guess. Not gamebreaking like rows/TPA but a good boost.

Means quite a lot for Umiyama/Kirin teams maybe? They have 4 orb enhances by double leaders already, and the small boost means alot more when multiplied to x25.

[The Greatest Dog]

L/R Divinegon is physical to match Takeminakata, L/B Divinegon is Balanced and matches L. Izanami, and D/R Basilisk is physical to match dark Izanami... L/D Divinegon is also Mephisto compatible with this.

Light Zhuge Liang got "Increase HP of Water attribute, plus 4x attack for Healer types" literally all I can say is wat

The Late Bloomer stat buffs are really huge overall. It took them a while to get strong :V

I don't really understand the orb enhance buff but I still pretty much have to keep LZL on my Sakuya team anyways so whatever.

[trancehime]

keep in mind a shitton of monsters are also suddenly getting orb enhances. Like the elemental spirits are getting 2 orb enhances of their color ON THEIR OWN. Same with the new Egyptian gods. Gungho really want to push this new buff.

the orb enhance buff turns them from "literally pointless" to "better than RCV on Zaerog" so I'll take it

[Thaws]

Yea, seriously :V
Also did I just missed it or did SQ and Liu Bei not get boosted to 3.5 along with the others? I know they like Devils but what the hell.
And why do they still think above half HP, rcv x1.5 is a good idea.

No matter it becomes the next meta or not, it's still good they're trying to fix obsolete awakenings I guess
The elemental spirits are getting orb enhance as an extra effect to their skill too, maybe they'll finally have a use besides niche ones like tanking a huge pre-emp in that one specific dungeon.

Running into SETH? What is this, an odd modern/ancient Egypt version of Red Riding Hood?  :derp:


OT: Dear Game, i understand that you want me to build an healer and/or light team, (giving me healer-types left an right, dropping Hatsume, and dropping me light monsters in haft the stages even if there is only one in the entire dungeon were kind of giveaways) but really, i don't need more Keeper of Light... i already have 3 TIMES the number i need for any mon i actually possess atm.....
Why not giving me some Keeper of Dark for a change?  :V


EDIT

Uhmm, maybe i understood it wrong but wouldn't that give a nice boost to rows team too? Since when they go burst they clear most of the orbs on the screen they would get a truckload of "superenhanced" skyfell orbs that if comboed....


EDIT 2: Heh, as sad as it is, complaining always work  :3 Keeper of Dark invaded for 2 consecutives run of the Green dungeon
