dat hera-is buff kinda puts some egypt 2.0s to shame. I mean the attack is still conditional, but dual hera is 2.25/9/2.25 vs Nut/Neph 1.82/9/1.82. Also her subs are really unrestricted with both god and devils being allowed. Some example stuff she can use are Blue Valk, Skuld, Muse, Starling, and Sarasvati. Sarasvati is especially nice because +orb awakenings work best with skyfalls.
Speaking of which, people are kind of underrating +orbs because they are forgetting that the 4% boost is on top of the damage bonus that +orbs already give. Basically if you have 5 +orb awakenings, all skyfall orbs are now + so matching 3 of any color gets a 1.18 * 1.2 = 1.416x boost. So effectively 5 +orb awakenings give a 41.6% damage boost to skyfall triplets.
But aren't rows stronger with 50% damage at 5 row awakenings? Well that's not really a fair comparison because you're using more orbs, and with more orbs +orbs get stronger too. If you're matching 6 +orbs then that's 1.36 * 1.2 = 1.632, so a 63.2% boost which is stronger than 5 rows! Of course the real strength of rows is when you stack multiple of them for ridiculous damage, but the real takeaway is +orb damage is far more consistent because you need orb changers for multi rows to be possible while +orbs will exist on every board except for the ones that you get really orbtrolled on.
And for the record their damage is also comparable with TPA. Lets say you have 6 TPA, 1 on every sub, so a TPA match gives you 50% extra damage. 6 +orbs awakenings would give you 1.24*1.24 = 1.5376 which is 53.76%. So it's stronger than TPA as well! Again of course you can stack TPA, but even then the damage isn't too far off. With 2 TPA on every sub you get %25% extra damage. 12 +orb awakenings gives you 1.24*1.48 = 1.8352, which is 83.52%. Still not bad, especially when you consider the fact that there's pretty much no strings attached. No special orb conditionals, just a constant boost to every skyfall orb of that color.
also holy fucking shit we finally get chrono turtle are you fucking serious
YOU KNOW THIS AND TOP DROID WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE LIKE A YEAR AGO WHEN WE WERE STARVED FOR GOOD BLUE/GREEN PHYSICALS
... so this may be a silly question to ask, but how do you sort by "new" in the monster box?
I realized I've seen several people doing it but never figured out how to do it myself. I suspect I'm missing something blindingly obvious.
holy shit how have you lived to this point....
it's sort by CHR
it's literally the second option in the sort list...
