Puzzle and Dragons 16 - YOLOSWAG xXx420xXwEeDxX carpe diem Edition

[Dorakyura]

Apparently Gungho Collab might be occurring tomorrow... at the same time as ECO and the XMas Dungeon and Flammesickle. Why.

Damn man.

At least there's 1.5x drop later today, so save some stamina for that?

Is the Present Egg so rare on higher modes?
I got one this morning :V felt good looking into PDX seeing it give a lot of exp.

Maybe the game just tells me to keep playing? Noob bonus, you know?

[Invisible]

Today's a good day.


(Now I await for Lu Bu's ult evo.)


(This Hera is Red, and already has Awakenings)

As for Christmas REM. Planning to get some dupe Chibi Chinese Gods for when I need them in low-cost dungeons. :derp:

Is the Present Egg so rare on higher modes?

Edit: Didn't quite read that right.

Depends.. Pretty RNG.

Uh.

...Did you find it as a random encounter on Expert or what?

[Dorakyura]

Random encounter on Int
:dealwithit:

Random encounter on Int
:dealwithit:

RNG is a pain to deal with sometimes.

If it's exp you want. You'll be better off doing higher difficulties for evolved ones, that isn't light nor dark.

Still too difficult. And I only do it because it's fast to do, to waste some stamina during the morning.
I have total cost of 49, not many good Monsters with low cost and enemy oneshot me.

[OverlordChirei]

Interesting that you got it on Int, because PDX doesn't even have them listed as encounters there - though people are reporting that they've seen them too so for some reason PDX fucked it up again.

Still, good to know they're obtainable on all levels!

[commandercool]

I've seen one Present Egg so far, on Superblessed. I don't know what dropped from that floor (maybe nothing?) but it wasn't that.

Is the Present Egg so rare on higher modes?

Yes. They seem to be crazyballs rare on all difficulties.

Ha ha neat.

Wave 4 of balance announced:

-All "enhanced ___ orbs" abilities now have a min cd of 4 (I CAN'T EVEN GET HORUS TO SKILL LEVEL 3 GUNGHO)
-Morning Star will now spawn 3 heart orbs upon usage - world's end will spawn 3 dark orbs instead.
-Curses of Fire/Ice/Wood both their normal cds and their min cds reduced by 3 turns, but lost 1 turn of counter damage to compensate. The same applies to Curse of Light/Dark, but their cds got reduced by 2 instead.
-Sticker girls min cd reduced by 2 turns.
-Archangel's heal will now heals 2 turns of binds instead of 1.
- Urd, Verdandi and Skuld will now get up to a 3.3x multiplier depending on their HP.
- Vishnu now gets x2.5 atk upon matching a set of green, still gets 3.5x when matching two sets of green.
- Un-evolved Shield Knights (AKA Shieldras) will now also skillup the fruit dragons.
- Twinlit uvos of Alraune/Vamp/Archangel/Lilith got a skill-lock resist.
- Golem Uvos got one enhanced orbs of their respective colors.
- Trifruit uvos for the Late Bloomer series got a TPA
- Dragon Knights are now bind-immune.

Also, this thing now spawns 1 light orb upon using his active, has an attacker subtype and got +400atk.

[commandercool]

Sticker buff? Amazing, but this means I need more Ruka skillups, right? Angry Birds Epic back right now, I demand it.

And where are poor Siren's buffs? She is getting so thoroughly stomped by Ruka at this point it's ridiculous.

[Suikama]

the hera's min cd was already 12 :V it's now 10 though

also for some reason light and dark counter got shafted a bit by only getting 8 turns while the others got 7?

dat vishnu buff wow his damage is super reliable compared to the others now

shieldras dont need to evolve is fair because they're stupid hard to get already

so farmable stuff that needs rare evo mats have more awakenings

meanwhile egypt 1.0 needs rare evo mats, gets no new awakenings, and still has really random outdated stuff taking up awakening slots. like what other rem series has damage resistance awakenings? It's literally just egypt 1.0 and some of the awoken monsters who are stacked with awakenings anyways

also udon for god tier

[Espadas]

Dang, anyone have tips for S-ranking Christmas dungeon?

I'm using Ronia - Dancing Hera-Ur - D/L Lilith - Baddie - DQ Hera - Ronia and it seems to be quite reliable (even if i had to burn a ronia against 3 synced dublit right before stage 6 AND got the Blue one i managed to 0-stone it, and against Hera you are almost immortal), but i got only B rank  :V

I'm almost tempted to change DQ Hera with something low like High Dark Ninja, but the main problem is balancing stall/turn used....


EDIT: Lol, i should have known, someone posted an S-rank build and guess what? Odin/Odin or Odin/Ama, WHAT A SURPRISE!    now i just have to check if i have something that can be used as sub....

EDIT: crap, subs are a problem.... or better yet, effing Treants are the problem >_>

So much update, so much wow.

They're making some useless monsters, atleast useful.

[Suikama]

lol i started a coin dungeon and then put down my phone and forgot about it so there's 1 million coins for nothing :derp:

Christmas REM roll #3: lil' yomi o/

Edit: Oh boy this also solves my dilemma re: venus' inevitable awoken ult which will probably change her active.  Now I just have 3 days to farm skillup mats! :colonveeplusalpha:

I think I'm gonna try and get my fourth today as well. Just need 2 stones.

[Thaws]

And where are poor Siren's buffs? She is getting so thoroughly stomped by Ruka at this point it's ridiculous.

No, its min and max cd both reduced, it'll automatically be 7cd when the update comes.
Just as we were talking about how good Ruka is, she gets better.

Also, finally astaroth is more than just a awakening provider. 7cd is very usable.

bluh i want to pull more but i hate getting dupes. it just feels like i wasted 5 stones for nothing

[Chaore]

Keep in mind that's basically '5cd' because of her awakenings.

Also assuming you leveled her up, 10cd with proper skill boost was already usable.

If belial actually had fucking NA skill ups, mind would be using his active much more.

Yea I had her skill levelling done last month finally.
Problem with 10cd is she's usually usable by boss, by which it'd be better to use Artemis (BT ver) anyways. Now she can be used for midbosses. She might even can be used twice in a longer dungeon.

Also pairs extremely well with Verdandi, I want one so badly ;-;

[OverlordChirei]

This one's stupid. I'm trying but I feel it's too RNG. I basically can't get too many pixies or i'll lose too much of the turn bonus since they have so much HP. Might be easier if someone could bring a maxskill breaker golem or something.

This is not precisely what I meant.

I meant more I have my belial at 2 cd if he was max skilled.

While the after-burn was garbage, it's already very possible to get them to short cooldowns just because of their huge boost to skill boost already.

The problem was their base is literally 10 cd away, which is not really solved and theres a lack of skillups for some of them (FUCKING BELIAL SKILLUPS WHERE).

The problem with their active was it's base and difficulty max skilling, not the actual length.

Edit: I mean just to show how silly short it can get, a belial on a Rodin team before buff would already be at 2 cd with just three cards (And you at 8 rows), meaning he's already a contributing part and you have plenty of space on your team to play around.

Mind that's rodin, who is a huge awakening stick. More realistically on Ronia, he would be at 4cd with just three cards.

How nifty! I can't see that not being up to max cooldown.

Oh but that's ronia.

On Shiva, with just three cards... 6cd, Rough, but doable still since you have much more room to work with in cards, and well valued.

This is just some mainstream leaders too, I'm sure you could find other combinations.

Yaaaay Ruka for president.

[Suikama]

okay so a new event & gala starts tomorrow

the last few galas were green, red, light, and dark. we haven't seen a blue gala since october

however we also havent seen a special gala since the beginning of november

so what this means is maaaaybe tomorrow will be a special gala _{possibly with armored knights} followed by a blue gala coinciding with the next godfest

gungho pls this is my real christmas wish

;-; I struggle to even get 5sb on bastet teams... mainly because Bastet has no skill boost on herself. Avalon and Astaroth are good skill boost providers.

Yaaaay Ruka for president.

We welcome our new dolphin overlords.
rip sirens


So there's been so many challenge dungeons and that free badpy giveaway from one livestream that I had 3 already without ever getting any from alt. dungeons, and max skilled my DMeta. :V

[OverlordChirei]

So I now have a superblessed Athena build that lets me take a single hit from a dublit at full health. The problem now becomes those darn pixies with their pre-emptives and 2 timers.

[Suikama]

i keep getting around 50k on superblessed because dublits eat up so many turns

[OverlordChirei]

I think the only way to reliably s-rank this is to have some fast def breaker and just swing really really hard so you don't have to worry about fucking your avg combo just to stay alive against the dubs

[Chaore]

;-; I struggle to even get 5sb on bastet teams... mainly because Bastet has no skill boost on herself. Avalon and Astaroth are good skill boost providers.

Yeah, that'd be rather why.

Leaders awakenings are -extremely- important.

That's kind of an odd placement too, tbh...

[Moogs Parfait]

Should I merge my 4 leilans? I can't see a reason to keep more than one. Especially since I have a third big one.
