i died to hello kitty

time to quit

I just s-ranked it (Liu Bei/trash/trash/trash/trash/Verdandi) and it was surprisingly harrowing. The trash floors weren't too bad, but the boss was rougher than he would seem for all his shortcomings. I guess it was an oversight on my part that I brought two leaders with HP-dependent attack boosts, but I kept getting into situations where I was at almost no health (I barely had enough HP to tank his attack) and a board with a bunch of green on it that barely did any damage while I lucked out and had him give me a bunch of free heal orbs on the off turn. I think I got lucky getting as many hearts as I did or I'd have died for sure.

It's probably safe to do with a stall team, since the biggest damage comes on the triple silver slime floors, and they only hit hardest at low health which you can control. But as a ten floor dungeon I don't think I could be bothered to take the time with a 4/1.8/4 team. It would take forever.

But yeah, it's not super easy as s-ranks go just because the boss has just enough health and damage to be threatening.

[The Greatest Dog]

I've had better S-ranking plans than this before.

[Edible]

I've had better S-ranking plans than this before.

If you're gonna s-rank a thing, may as well do it in style.

 :wat:

Jesus. Now I feel like even more of a chump for how many panic buttons I have to bring when I play rainbow teams.

[The Greatest Dog]

FULL HEALTH ONLY
FOUR/FIVE COLORS EVERY TURN
GET ONE SHOT KILLED BY MOBS YOU DON'T KILL
20x MULTIPLIER OR GO HOME

husband and wife team one-shot killed the boss, at least

[trancehime]

husband and wife team one-shot killed the boss, at least

you mean father and daughter :V

[The Greatest Dog]

I feel like Fagan teaching a Boisterous Dance to his daughter would be weird.

On the other hand, if Boisterous Dance is some type of mating ritual... [/awkward]

What is Kouryu's relation to Byakko/Genbu/Suzaku/Seiryu and Kirin, anyways? That's one of the few pantheons I'm not too familiar with.

In East Asian culture sometimes Kouryu/Huang Long is the 5th beast of the 4 cardinal guardians. Kouryu represents the "Center" and the "Earth," the Chinese "quintessence" and changing of seasons. However in Japanese mythology the 5th element is actually void or emptiness (空), so there is no animal for that. Hence they use the Japanese reading of Huanglong which is Kouryu.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Dunno how to feel about DIza's ult. It's a straight upgrade for sure, but I wonder how viable of a leader she could be. That new LS (4x god and physical ATK with hp reduced "a little") could be great or horrible depending on how much that reduction is. Though having 3000 hp recovered every turn if you run her as leaders is nice.

ROdin's ult is fucking ridiculous and I'm going to start raising both of mine right away. Four fire rows, three skill boosts, and bind immunity. Holy shit. The Awoken Leilan compatibility is real.

I should invest in a goemon too...

[trancehime]

I should invest in a goemon too...

Yeah. basically rodin ult just superpowered Goemon farming teams.

In unrelated news, the next special descend dungeon --> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHHkEHTUYAA3q2S.png (UVO form)

Holy sh*t indeed, those awakening are ungodly! I'm so freaking happy i just rolled him in the PCGF! :*

[trancehime]

by the way, here's something i should have done approximately 4 months ago.

[Espadas]

Question for JP players: when i reached rank 40 i received a message with some words highlighted in yellow.... i don't remember anything of the sort in NA. Anyone know what it said?

Update on Osiris training: urgh, i swear i would be friggin' perfect with a 5+ combo god, although my rate of activation IS improving.
The drought of good friend leads AND appropriate subs is quite problematic.... i literally reached Tomb of the Saint - Deep and Castle of Satan in the Abyss with Osiris - Delgado - Extreme Fatty (x3)  and my "highest levelled" is Osiris base form at an amazing lv28 :V

Thanks god for the jp event giving out Extreme Fatty like candy  :blush: although i DO have a truckload of Pengdras waiting to be evolved.....


EDIT: Welp, cleared COSITA too  :derp:

[commandercool]

Seems weird that Izanami's biggest buff seems to have been to her leader skill despite her popularity coming from being a good sub. Even if her leader skill is great suddenly I don't see her becoming a viable lead with no offensive awakenings and a defensive active.

Maybe she can pull off some kind of weird hybid team, but she really wanted skillboosts and/or an offensive awakening, especially if they want her to lead. Autoheal is only worth anything if you have a lot if them, and she does now especially if you run two of her, but I still think it's a bad awakening.

Slot 1 of friend leaders is activated at rank 40

[Edible]

Gadius/Typhon/Zuoh/Ilm confirmed for brawlPAD KR's upcoming godfest.  We knew it was coming, but it's nice to have confirmation finally.

[Janitor Morgan]

it took much too long for this to happen but it has now

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Eat it loser




Revenge is sweet.

[Jq1790]

Now if only I could do that...

;_;

I do not have the patience to deal with if I screw up too much thoughon Phoenix again, plus my max LS mult would still only be 15x as opposed to 25x,which obviously would hurt my chances.

IfI pull Minerva sometime Ill look into it again, but for now I will stick to HK collab.

[Chaore]

Vulcan makes me wish I had a water team worth a damn, tbh.

Trying to verdandi it sounds like absolute hell.

[triangles]

Yeah I'm starting at my box and I have no idea how I'd tackle Zeus Volcano Asshole RIP in pieces me  :ohdear:

[MatsuriSakuragi]

That was actually my second try. I owe my win to my team's great resilience and durability over power. Doing it with wood was complete bullshit but I don't think I could have done it any other way.

My only plan here is honestly 'pray my haku board with pandora has 9 water orbs.'

...that requires getting to vulcan with a horrifically underleveled team to boot.

This dungeon really just hard counters everything I have right now, and it's super annoying, because it's the best place to get this piece of crap bird that doesn't drop like 80% of the time anyway.

[Mr. Sacchi]

The Uriel/Wangren Dream Team is real with this ult.

Him, Uriel and Wangren already gives me 6 rows, plus amenouzume friend gives me 7, do I even need anymore? lol

[commandercool]

Wow, yeah, that's horrifying. Didn't even occur to me. You technically probably don't need more rows.

So the team is what, Uriel/Yamato Takeru/Flamme/Wangren/Ame or Rodin? At least ideally? No damage boost or delay means some bosses are tricky, but that damage is nutballs. Wow.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Uriel/Wangren/Rodin is definitely in it, yeah, the last two slots are pretty tricky though. Femme or Gigas depending if I need more HP or more RCV for the dungeon in question, but the last slot could have dear old echidna in case the delay is that necessary.

Otherwise, Yamato Takeru would be the ideal last slot, yeah. With so much damage I don't think the damage boost is really required tbh.

[commandercool]

The damage boost is pretty much there to kill things that resist you or to kill buff midbosses without needing to leader swap.

If you have the choice, I'd say go with Flamme pretty much all the time. You're going to need a ton of recovery to stall, and your team has waaaay less than mine naturally. Negative recovery is not good for you. Ame gives you a better recovery modifier than me in emergencies, but you have less healers.

I almost might be inclined to say that in your case Mitsuki could be preferable to Takeru even just to give you more hearts to work with. 2x+ recovery sounds like a lot, but you won't always have enough for hardcore stalling. I have multiple members with over a thousand recovery and I still need more sometimes.
