Puzzle and Dragons Thread 21: Revenge of the #OneTrueGod

[Espadas]

The new Technical that will open up after Paradise of the Holy Beasts that will always reward a Py looks like an hilarious experience....

99 stam, no continue, 21 floors

Can we consider this a middle step between TEC and XEC?  :V

the dungeon isnt finalized yet so it may not have 21 floors

[OverlordChirei]

Regardless of finalization or not, this is like when alts came out all over again. No one is going to be able to beat it when it comes out except the megawhales  :ohdear:

[commandercool]

Went to sleep after this.
Woke up at 3am by little brother going to work.
Tossed around in bed for half an hour unable to go back to sleep.
"To hell with this" and turned up PAD.
3 more runs of HK thanks to rank up, still no I&I.
Went to JP to stockpile a bit more keepers.
First run:


Not seen, i also encountered a green golem in the same run but it didn't drop.

commandercool, when you meet that guy you call RNG, tell him that he either have a weird sense of humor or is simply a ruddy bastard....

You know you're comparing a dungeon with an extremely high invade rate to a dungeon with a fairly low invade rate, right? None of this is statistically unlikely, even a little.

[Espadas]

Uhh, actually no, i didn't know dungeons can have different invade rates (apart from the colored frames in PADX). Then i guess i was somewhat unlucky with my NA runs of Keepers because i was invaded very rarely, to the point that like i said i had never even heard of a double invade in single run....  :blush:

Oh well, RNG is STILL a bastard tho  :colbert:

[commandercool]

God dammit, so for the second time in three days I was just in the middle of a semi-important combo and my phone's screen locked up completely. I couldn't see orbs moving at all, so I died to fucking Corpse Knight. Unlike last time though, this time had no warning. My game was running fine and then it froze, rather than seeing a bunch of lesser slowdown first. I bet this is another one of Google, Youtube, or Gmail's five daily secret updates.

Yeah, Keepers have possibly the highest invade rates in the game. If they didn't, evolving light and dark monsters would be impossible for the entire early game, since invades are basically where those keepers come from. I think not getting an invade somewhere in a colored keeper dungeon is pretty rare. Hello Kitty on the other hand seems to be a normal invade as far as I know, which makes it what, like 10% on the highest difficulty?

Sure, RNG is a bitch. But seemingly not in this case.

[Suikama]

There we go, Isis vs Lv 10

guess I should farm up some Dizas

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Past me is sobbing.

Mythical beaten for the first time, revenge complete.

Can we consider this a middle step between TEC and XEC?  :V

Tbh I can see it being harder than XEC because I mean my awoken bastet was making it through XEC pretty consistently and I can't see that py being so "easy" to get. (Still can't make it through a lv 10 so I consider XEC easier than that too)
We'll probably see lv10 materials appearing for 20 consecutive floors, not to mention the last floor with 5 pys will be a serious threat for non Ra and Vegito teams...

[Espadas]

Update on skill-up farm-fest: finally got invaded in HK! Didn't get a skill-up but at least they appeared  :V Berry Dragon decided to show off and got maxskilled with 3 skill-up in a row. Miss 1 to max Grape, while that lazyass of Melon is still at skill lv. 4

Update on JP account: can't believe i'm saying this but... i need an healer girl  :fail: Got a few Godin as friends for zombie farming but without autohealer i'm stuck >.<

[trancehime]

We'll probably see lv10 materials appearing for 20 consecutive floors, not to mention the last floor with 5 pys will be a serious threat for non Ra and Vegito teams...

If you want some comfort, only 1 py will spawn on the last floor randomly out of 5.

On another note, the new Light Survey Carnival is OP OP OP



can you believe 4 levels only took 300 stamina?!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

So uh

I guess Norse skillups never fucking drop?

I've spent around 500 stamina on flower dragon dungeons and maybe 2 dropped.

This is fucking stupid. Why am I even bothering?

[The Greatest Dog]

Which Norse are you going for?

Reason being, they do drop from Threedia and Defoud's dungeon; while the stamina cost is extreme, they do drop -useful- things aside from Norse skill up fodder.

If I had a max skilled Defoud <3

[commandercool]

Norse seem like a shit deal. They don't have a fair skillup and they take way more skillups to max out than most things. I guess that's possibly partly because two skillmax Norse on the same team is amazing, but still, they deserve some more help. It's too bad they seem pretty unpopular or maybe they could get in some surveys. The unfair difficulty of skillmaxing them is why I'll accept non-hypermax I&Is as long as they have a lot of +eggs, and I&I even has the handicap of having an extra (also unfairly rare) skillup over the others.

[The Greatest Dog]

hey commandercool
do you want me to hypermax my I&I for you?

Even though I have to hypermax Sakuya as well
and Persephone
and LZL
and Fagan
and Ariel

Oh dear.

[commandercool]

If you did I would use it, but I don't need another one. I have four or five regular ones (or at least, four or five regular +297s, a few of those may not be max skill) which is plenty for right now. I regularly use I&I, Metatron, Awoken Neptune, and Sun Quan friends, so between all of those it's fairly rare right now that I actually run out of I&Is when I need them. What I really need right now is more hypermax Awoken Neptunes and blue Metatrons (any blue Metatrons, I don't even have one anymore), and of course Sun Quans. So if you'd get a lot of use out of I&I yourself, go for it. If not, I'd say focus on something you would use a lot.

[trancehime]

this happened to me twice in the same hour :colonveeplusalpha:

[commandercool]

I've gotten plenty of use out of 2.5x skilluos so far (three skillups on white Kali, four on black Kali, three of Verdandi, one on Urd, and some less important stuff) but I still have too much I want to do.

Turns out Black Bowl Dragon drops leeks after all, PDX waa just slow to update. So I need to farm that as much as possible, and get materials to evolve the leeks. I'm definitely going to spend thursday and friday doing their respective dungeons, so hopefully I can evolve any leeks I get today during that time.

Ordinarily I would try to clear a few more challenges, but I'm through 6 right now, which is the important one for me. I feel like I shouldn't do more because the stamina matters more for other things.

I'm also already engaged to spend Monday farming +eggs, since Ra is getting very close to finished. And I'll be saving up stamina on any day Star Vault appears on if it does.

So yeah, busy. Damn...

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Basically yeah.

I'm starting to unironically consider woodpy for Freyja, but that's a desperate measure I hope it won't come down to.

(and watch as soon as I skillmax her, she'll get a superior awoken evo.)

[commandercool]

I've dumped a ludicrous amount of resources (four Bubpys and thousands upon many thousands of stamina) into my Beyzul and he's STIIIIIIIILL not skillmax. I keep thinking that if I finish him he'll get a new form with a new skill, but if he does I've decided I'm okay with that. Because if that happene it means he'll get a new form, and I really want that.

So anyway, if you use her a lot, I say go for it. Spend that pii on her. I don't regret losing a shitload of piis to Beyzul, with his farmable skillup in a permanent dungeon, because doing that has allowed me to clear things I just wouldn't have been able to without them, even if he still isn't quite skillmax.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

The thing is I haven't used her at all, but she's the vital piece I need to punch up my AParv team to ABastet-tier damage, so she's a future investment.

[hyorinryu]

What do you mean rare skill up? I&I got the Groove Coaster Crabs. If anyone got screwed extra hard it was Loki.

(and watch as soon as I skillmax her, she'll get a superior awoken evo.)

Well Norse are due for it. Tbf, they should have gotten them by now. For some reason they decided to skip over them and JP1s for Egyptians and Chinese. Also, how would you feel about using Medjedra instead?

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Less interested. Sure, Medjed can reduce damage and boost attack, but it's the attack boost I want in the first place and having 3 turns of that is far better, especially since he'd only boost himself and the Parvs. Freyja would boost everyone on the team.

If I wanted a one turn boost that only affected half of the team, I'd use GZL, I think.

[commandercool]

So apparently I forgot/never knew how low the droprates are in bowl dragons. Got two trash drops on Mythical, neither of them leeks. On the plus side, I'm 1/1 on Izanami skillups so far.

What do you mean rare skill up? I&I got the Groove Coaster Crabs. If anyone got screwed extra hard it was Loki.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I don't think we've ever had it while I was playing, or maybe it was like the first two days. And technically I guess there are some in Clash Of Clans or something too, right? I was thinking of the Hello Kitty invade, but there are a few other, easier ones in equivalently ultra-rare collab dungeons.

Poor Loki, he's the only one I have and he's so hard to work with. If I ever get around to making that BMeta rows team he goes in anyway because of all the skillboosts.

[hyorinryu]

True. I just think Freyja seems so subpar there. If you're not using her rows, all she has is one skill boost. I don't think you need atk boosts like that with 25x + double prongs. If you're using Liu Bei, he does so much damage that Zhuge is probably the better option because  he has an extra skill boost, has prongs, and an extra skill bind resist.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Only she's not subpar. Three turns of consistent 37.5x damage for the whole team is better in the long run over one burst of 50x on only half of the team because the whole point of this is for the sake of being able to boost my damage on multiple floors, not just one enemy. I don't need overkill, just a reasonable boost to mean the difference between living and dying.

[OverlordChirei]

True. I just think Freyja seems so subpar there. If you're not using her rows, all she has is one skill boost. I don't think you need atk boosts like that with 25x + double prongs. If you're using Liu Bei, he does so much damage that Zhuge is probably the better option because  he has an extra skill boost, has prongs, and an extra skill bind resist.

Freyja's also got about 1000 HP on GZL, which AParv needs badly for some things probably.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Right. If GZL was bulkier, he'd be a mainstay on the team, but since he's not, he's more a utility sub.

[commandercool]

GZL can not be bulkier. He's king of the world as it is, more HP would be silly (watch his ultimate gain 2000 hp now). Is your GZL finished? I recommend taking him for a spin on that team if he is, you might not like him, but watching him and Liu Bei melt dudes is worth a try.
