Puzzle and Dragons Thread 21: Revenge of the #OneTrueGod

[Edible]

KR is getting PAD Academy on Monday.

I no longer have any idea how this might interact with the batman collab redux...

[commandercool]

Christ, at this rate there's no way I'm skillmaxing two Izanamis before that dungeon expires. Too much to do is a good problem though.

As Chaore and I discussed in IRC earlier, we might have to update our versions to support Haste, because if it gets revamped with new stuff - that will probably in there, which means even more update speedup incoming? On top of that, it'll be a global release, and JP just got HxH announced, and since the game can only handle one extra egg machine at a time (PAL Evo Egg, Collab Machines, etc), there's no way they're getting it on Monday either.

In other news, apparently UPC found even more data in our recent data download (possibly junk/placeholder data??) that y'all probably won't find anywhere else, and definitely not on the JP client since theirs already has almost all of this finalized. The following he managed to find:

>Divine Creator of Order, Vishnu

Suspected name for Vishnu's ult that doesn't even exist yet anywhere???

>Magic Hand Slayer Goddess, Durga

Durga's Ult?

Awoken Isis(inferred)

>Quick Guard: Changes 3 random Light/Dark Orbs to Heal Orbs; bind status is reduced by 2 turns

More random orbchange crap was going to be lumped in with AIsis. I will take the finalized version over this.

>Abyss of the Nile: 3x ATK when attacking with 3+ Att; 2x ATK when erasing 5+ linked Heal Orbs

Lakshmisis seems to have been the original intent???

Awoken Anubis(inferred)

>Underworld: Orb move time extended by 2 seconds for 1 turn; wood orbs change to Dark Orbs

Maybe too OP so they kept the counter instead???

>Jackal's Warning: ATK increases with 7+ combos up to 6.5x; 1.5x ATK for 1 Heal combo, 2x ATK for 2+

They actually tried to make Juggler Anubis a thing. Sad.

Awoken Bastet(inferred)

>Cat Scratch Fever: ATK increases with 5+ combos up to 6.5x; 1.5x ATK for Wood Att. when skills used

95x Bastet... smh

No, I mentioned that NA would have to update the versions to support Machine typing since it's been implied that the new Batman ults will be Machine typing, which NA has no support for yet.

Right.  Either way, another speedy update will be required.  PadA and SB2 will buy GHJP some time to throw this stuff at the other regions.

I think that the update to a new client will be pretty much more timely than getting up to speed with descends, so I reckon global Batman Collab revival will come before the end of 2015.

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Yeah, it's funny though that the LS listed there is literally the current Awoken Bastet LS but with a x6.5 cap instead of x4. And the G/D ult capped at x4.5 too to begin with.

smh One True Catte.

There is also the ABastet/Sphinx issue inbound, so I expect that to pick up some speed as well.

Even more curious - how do these translations look compared to what it currently says on JP? Not that I don't trust UPC or anything, but it would be nice to see how legit this data is.

I hope so. I'm days away from Ra being finished, so it would be nice if he didn't have to sit in my box unused for months.

FUCK

[hyorinryu]

You get the bonus on day 367, that's why. :v

Anyway I'm starting to consider a future Durga team. How does this sound:

Durga/Lumiel/Parvati/DIzanami/Beelzebub

All colors accounted for with water as the insignificant one since Parvati changes those away. And since ult Durga's LS can be triggered by any 4 of Dark/Wood/Fire/Water/Heart, she can still be used even if I change water away.

DIza is there for damage reduction since this team won't have amazing RCV in particular, and Beelzebub is there for the heavy hitting with Parvati-- and he can enhance dark to pair with Durga's active, which boosts everyone by 2x for a turn since everyone is God or Devil. Parvati can make up for the hp drain as well.

And of course, Lumiel is there because her active makes Durga colors.

In the end you have a bulky yet sustainable 25x burst team that can also do x50 twice and also go beyond even that with dark enhance. Fuckin' rad.

I'd want to replace Lumiel with Persephone. Board changes aren't reliable  and I don't see a way to fix a bad board. Persephone's great. Great Burst and great recovery, which has been Durga's main problem. I'm also not that big a fan of Beelze in there. I don't think you'll be able to use the enhance that well, though idk who to replace him with.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Persephone is fine, but she presents a similar issue- she takes away hearts, which can screw me over if I am missing a color. If anything, Lumiel guarantees a usable board that I can also use Parvati to make orbs with and heal while still dealing damage.

As far as Beelzebub goes, he's there more for his rad double TPA 2k+ atk. I could always swap him with Persephone if need be.

[The Greatest Dog]

If my experiences with Athena on Sakuya are accurate, even a board that presents only 4 light orbs will have Athena hitting for 500,000+ damage with barely any sort of enhances and 6~ combos. With Durga, you have two 2x damage enhances readily available, and while it doesn't have the +orb enhance power that Sakuya does, Durga herself has a higher ATK and a TPA to boot.

If Beelzebub could fit on a Sakuya team (lol) he'd be a monster, but he has Durga instead. As always, he's got a great toolkit to supplement most teams (orb enhance has a great effect in row teams, and TPAs let him do whatever), but just lacks the leader skill to do the super crazy damage that 2100+ ATK would imply.

Might I suggest... Starling? Converts light to water, which is okay, and heal to wood (which fuels Parvati TPAs!). You can even use Parvati to convert those water orbs back to heal if you need! High RCV as well!

Persephone is still a big deal for ~*~devils~*~ with that beefy RCV and overall stats.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Starling is a maybe. Truth be told, this is the kind of team that doesn't *need* a lot of orb-changers, much less off-color ones when the main damage dealers are going to be Dark and Wood (Hypermax A.Parv hits like a damned truck and I have every intention of taking advantage of that.)-- the idea is to play her like a non-twinlit Chinagirl who can pull off their LS much more consistently than their standard and twinlit sisters. Durga has that freedom as well.

Water and Fire are the "these attributes are just there to fill in necessary colors" dump attributes who don't really need emphasis. Especially if Parvati changes water away, that means Starling will be doing zip in the damage department, kind of being a waste of a slot. Same goes for Skuld in my Parvati team, but she was never there for the sake of doing damage-- she's there for the sake of bulk and board changes.

That said, Starling is a good "get out of jail free" card, but Persephone would fuel the main team element far better, at a bit higher risk. She's still a stat stick, too.

[trancehime]

It appears a birb found its way into my box.

Birb!

[trancehime]

Even more curious - how do these translations look compared to what it currently says on JP? Not that I don't trust UPC or anything, but it would be nice to see how legit this data is.

Current Data on JP:

Awoken Isis

LS Depths of the Nile
JP = ATK x3 for matching any 3 attributes (except Hearts), ATK x1.5 to Water attribute after using an active
NA = ATK x3 for matching 3+ attributes, ATK x2 after matching 5 linked Hearts

AS Quick Guard
JP = 15% Shield for 1 turn, heals 2 turns of bind
NA = Randomly changes 3 Light/Dark orbs to hearts, heals 2 turns of bind

Awoken Anubis

LS Jackal's Warning
JP = ATK x4/6/8/10 after reaching 9/10/11/12 combos, ATK x2 to Dark attribute after using an active
NA = ATK increases up to a maximum of x6.5 after reaching 7+ combos, ATK x1.5 with 1 hearts combo, ATK x2 with 2 hearts combo

AS Necro Bite
JP = Counter Damage x5 for 4 turns, change Wood orbs to Dark orbs
NA = Add 2 seconds of orb matching time for 1 turn, change Wood orbs to Dark orbs

Awoken Bastet

LS Cat Fever
JP = ATK x3/3.5/4 after reaching 5/6/7 combos, ATK x1.5 to Wood attribute after using an active
NA = ATK increases up to a maximum of x6.5 after reaching 5+ combos, ATK x1.5 to Wood attribute after using an active

EDIT:

JP Durga = Slaying Goddess of Demonic Palm, Durga

[Suikama]

I have 30 pys

who do i use them on

Water: aIsis obviously. But I have plenty more for someone else. I guess Andromeda so I don't have to do fairies? Also aNep,
Fire: Either Hino or Goemon. Or I guess maybe Mamiya? Or Asuka lol
Wood: Only thing I have that isn't easily skilled up is potentially aMeimei. And even she can be skilled with Jewels
Light: Amaterasu, Valkitty, Wukong
Dark: Ult Beelz, Pandora, Chester, Gamble Mage and Joker lol

Or maybe I just keep holding on

[OverlordChirei]

It turns out i've been playing the game wrong once again. I have to feed skillups in the bathroom too for best results.

this guy is a guy who probably will ragequit PAD for a while

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Bet he really misses Isis' healing there!

Oh shit star vault tomorrow

Ty Jesus for it not being on a work day

[trancehime]

Bet he really misses Isis' healing there!

hypermax Awoken Isis would only heal 2100 with Quick Cure.

The py does 3812 damage a turn.

He was going to die with or without the healing

Yaaay! It sucks a tiny bit that it overlaps Black Bowl  Dragon on double drops, but I can fix that by throwing one more stone at it, while I can't fix "happening during work" with stones.

If I get really lucky I can finish Ra tomorrow (he's +79/+99/+92 right now). Either way I gotta figure out who's next. Either Beyzul or Verdandi probably.

Ragequit? If i was in his place my phone right now would lie somewhere in Antarctica.....

Crap, Star Vault while x2 Black Bowl! I fear i'll have to pass up the vault this time......

Oh and game, finishing about 4k short of the S rank was really mean.  :X

[OverlordChirei]

For anyone who still had any doubts about PadA, the REM has been confirmed in NA on 6/22 via time travel.

no escape

RNG PLEASE GIVE ME AN ISIS

thanks

[commandercool]

I... Still don't know if I want to touch the REM. It'd just be a crapshoot for Andromeda. I know I shouldn't, but Imight end up doing it anyway. I don't have a ton of stones right now, maybe that's a good thing.

[trancehime]

this is a bad idea.

no seriously, PAD Academy REM is fucking trash unless you have literally 0 of the Hero Gods.

I know this full well, but I will yoloroll anyway.  :fail:

[trancehime]

well, as long as you know what you set yourself up for.

PAD Academy destroyed my soul; I slowed my progress down for 3 weeks because I was PAD-depressed... But I got over it and now I'm full steam ahead, I'll be able to hit rank 400 before my 367 day login bonus
