Commandercool bff'd Moogs for having those exact leaders hypermaxed. See about him?

[Jq1790]

Hah, she already got mine in the end because she has some less-than-common stuff that I sometimes like messing with.

Oh right, I did my one roll and Zuoh popped out.

[trancehime]

Luck's been looking in my direction these past couple of weeks.




Awoken Leilan SLV4 = Pulled today
Max-skilled Cao Cao today
Max-skilled Sarasvati today
Maxed out Awoken Kagu, only plus
Pulled new 6* GFE Kaede today
B/D Karin = Pulled today

[Suikama]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

High five!

btw Suikama, it probably has to do with how the TPA bonus only applies to the 4 orbs you cleared, but not for the 6 orb combos aka it's not worth it to mix rows and TPAs in the same combo if your main bonus is TPAs.
Two rows only get you x1.6 on everyone, but x1.6x3.375 for Blue Odin only on for the 4 orb combo worth of damage
If you did 3 TPAs you'd have gotten x3.375(*3*1.25 because three 4 orb combos) on Blue Odin alone and I'm not sure what else you got but I think it's probably more beneficial that way.
In terms of numbers, on Blue Odin, the multiplier is (1.6*1.75*2+1.6*3.375*1.25) vs (3.375*3*1.25)
Consider you could've made 4 TPAs if you tried hard enough too.

i dont have bodin though i only have weenie single TPAs and double TPA reine

anyways I went full rows instead with Andromeda and that did the trick

I don't think I'll be farming this dungeon though because Ronia was still really tricky with her combo shield

Also if Awoken Isis is even stronger than this but also with better tankiness then fuck yes BV

B/D Karin = Pulled today

fffffffffff

okay lets go

>cupid

FUCK

[trancehime]

fffffffffff

okay lets go

FUCK

i pulled 2 karins during my godfest

i'm just saving the 2nd one for awoken karin

[commandercool]

Christ, I'm in Sonia Gran right now, and Red Sonia is terrible. This is a complicated balancing act of how many actives I can afford to pop. And I couldn't find an Awoken Neptune so I went in without, and that seems like it may have been a mistake. If I brought him I could just go all-out violent on Red Sonia, crush her without a second thought, and stall back up on Gran.

Also, I'm getting extremely slowdown periodically, especially during my combos. I've had two times now where the screen locked up during a combo and I had to finish it completely blind (although it did register my orb movements while the screen was frozen). If that happens again I lose, and that's not good.

[Espadas]

Have i ever told you guys just how much i HATE combo shields? And particularly Zhao Yun's?
Oh, and let not forget that this is at the very least my 11th consecutive descent run without a jewel invade.... 20% my oversized backside  <_<

At least i got a plussed skill-up for GZL.


Did 2 pulls in the NA.....

- Undine..... oh look, now i have the full set, yay....  :fail:

- VERDANDIIIII :* Lol i rolled her both in jp and in na!


Then i got a slight suspicion and went to check my NA box..............................
Game, what are you doing to me? Why do you want me to play Osiris in NA too? Game,  do you realize just how many good cards i have now for him?

[commandercool]

Ha ha nevermind, cleared it after all. I set my phone down for a while because the slowdown was so bad, but it turned out it was Google deciding to update whatever and whenever the fuck it felt like without telling me. Once that was done I could play normally, and things went surprisingly well.

Blew out Red Sonia with Sun Quan+Gabriel, blasted Gran down to ~20% with Ruka+Reine, and swept up with the leftover orbs. I could've lost for sure if I had gotten a couple more skyfalls on my first attack against Gran, since the only chance I had seemed to be deliberately leaving behind a lot of water orbs after my two rows. And it paid off, because I didn't get a couple more skyfalls. Seems farmable with Neptune probably, but I don't see myself doing that because it could potentially take forever.

Anyways, as a general rule of thumb, don't do rows unless you got about 5.
7 TPA isn't a bad number at all, if your double TPAs have +99atk that's even better.
The thing with rows is that it also decreases your combo count naturally and that kinda nullifies the bonus multiplier if you only has like 3 row awakenings.

[Dr Rawr]

I rolled a 6th ronia and it did not give a skill up

[triangles]

Yolorolled me a qtpie Famiel :3
Yes good a growing collection of water types pleases me.

[commandercool]

One roll, got another white Kali. God dammit. That's... technically great I guess?

Edit: Did another roll for goofs, got Orochi. Whatevs. I don't have a particular use for him, but he's good.

Edit edit: I'm strongly considering feeding my +230 Ra to a Kali because Awoken Ra is looking a lot less attractive now (I do have extra Ras). I guess I better try him before I kill him.

[Espadas]

That is some serious dupe skills..... up to three i would have considered you lucky.... but 6 not anymore  :ohdear:


There is something i don't understand of A.Ceres i can't believe i've never noticed before: she have a Recover Bind awakening AND her active gives 3 turn of Bind recovery..... how does that work? If you use her active for 3 turns a row of heart orbs clear SIX turn of bind?

[The Greatest Dog]

Her active functions in its own, seven turn cd. That will always clear 3 turns of binds whether you have any heart orbs or not.

She can -also- clear 3 turns of binds by making a row heal. In a single turn, she can heal 6 turns of binds by using both together.

[Espadas]

Thanks for the explanation

Time to farm skill-ups. Is it really worth it to farm HK collab for fruit dragons's? They don't seem to get much use in actual teams and i've got tons of gods that require Tamadras before them.

I'm kinda torn between farming Light Sprite for DQXQ skill-up and HK for I&I invade and the fruit dragons.....

[The Greatest Dog]

A six turn heartmaker is no joke. Their awoken skill pool still fits on row teams, and any team appreciates skill boosts.

DQXQ skillups... are probably easier to get off Femme Dragon coin dungeons.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

[16:03:19] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Grania is dead.
[16:03:44] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> It was a one stone but I insist it's a no-stone on handicap
[16:04:11] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I was riding in a car when Ronia killed me and my mom distracted me so I accidentally pressed yes when the continue popped up
[16:04:26] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Grania herself is so fucking easy though lol
[16:05:28] <Chirei> yeah she's not bad if you have a dedicated team
[16:05:38] <Chirei> and made it there with some actives or at least partially charged ones
[16:05:43] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> yeah my team is fuckin perfect for Grania
[16:05:47] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> it's just Ronia
[16:05:49] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> ughhhhhh
[16:06:01] <Chirei> yeah i had to blow both heartmakers on ronia
[16:06:04] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I am really really really bad at hitting the combo quota when running Parv
[16:06:30] <Chirei> i actually sort of just grinded her down
[16:06:33] <Chirei> i took six turns i think
[16:06:36] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> And the reason why I insist that this is a no-stone is because I had to survive for TWENTY FUCKING TURNS after stoning
[16:06:47] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> because I'd get her low and OOPS HEALED HER TO MAX
[16:06:50] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> repeat forever
[16:07:06] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> and since surviving that long is a feat in and of itself....

[commandercool]

Finally cleared Zhao Yun mythical with Verdandi. Putting Susano on over Odin makes a really noticeable difference in damage from the extra prong with high attack. And the enhance too I'm sure.

Regarding fruit dragons, they're very niche good, but I'm not sure I would skill them up without a specific team in mind. I love Ruka, but I would totally use Blueberry Dagon over her if it was a healer. Heartmakers are good, heartmakers with great awakenings are very good. But Blueberry Dagon is not a healer, which means I don't have a usr for it, which means personally I'm passing on Hello Kitty.

[Jq1790]

Re: Matsy Gran clear
Well in essence it was a nostone ANYWAY(got one for the clear and all, yes?) so I say you're totally in the green on this.  Congrats! 

I need to hurry up and actually necome competent with Karin so I can get to work on some super hard stuff like this someday.

[Thaws]

XEC cleared
Is... Is this what it feels to be OP!?

[Espadas]

XEC cleared

Considering who is in your 5th slot this is what it feels to be JP  :V
Joking aside, CONGRATS! You guys are amazing. Is there anything you still have to clear? 

On different news, i just got one more roll in the JP godfest thanks to the stones of PADW (first time playing it, seems relaxing although i don't understand one word of the game... some translated guide would be a godsend).....

Suikama, sorry about this but....... it was Karin 

My very starter god in my NA account followed me into the JP one at the first available GF! What is the point of having 2 different accounts if i drop the same cards?  :derp:

[Suikama]

6 awoken ra team = ez king carnival farming, push buttons win game

[The Greatest Dog]

what in the actual hell?

Pretty sure they're stealing all the skillups that could have gone to Lemon Dragon and Apocalypse. They went like 4/5 this week.

[commandercool]

6 awoken ra team = ez king carnival farming, push buttons win game

King Carnival is super easyballs though, and there aren't really any times when I would need to run it dozens of times an hour or anything. And there's no reason to use hypermax Ras for that.

That said, I've been practicing with Kali all day. My current team is one time extend short of what it will be with Ra, and has the same number of board changes. And honestly with all of those extends and some practice I can hit all five attributes fairly consistently. Certainly consistently enough that I feel like I would be able to sustain activations every turn with four Kali actives. Ultimate Kali does a lot of damage, but with Ra that would basically become "one-shot everything" damage. I'm not sure I would actually need a fifth Kali active, while I do need extra damage sometimes. I'll wait to try out Ra, and I imagine he'll probably be fine.

[Suikama]

lol i guess i should have tried isis but someone else beat me to the punch with my own team oh well :V

[OverlordChirei]

lol i guess i should have tried isis but someone else beat me to the punch with my own team oh well :V

you lost faith

[Suikama]

i got impatient waiting for aIsis so I ran her team but with Andro lead :V

also considering

The worst part is that in a normal dungeon, even taking into account his 24k hits, I could probably Luci him with good enough timing of actives. Unfortunately Awoken Hera-Is is 60 cost and DQ Hera is 50, so I'm not sure Luci strats would give me enough HP/RCV to really get that tanking ability. :V

Depending on what else is in the dungeon, though, I think Awoken Minerva could take him?
