Puzzle and Dragons Thread 23 - LET'S GET WET (and salty)

[Janitor Morgan]

As far as I know from the unofficial poll, the result's probably going to be Sakuya, Noah, Verdandi.

Though if Gungho decides that Sakuya's gotten enough special treatment already, maybe they'll invalidate her and move to the runner-up who I think was Osiris...or was it Hathor, I forget.

What's our next descend coming up here? I stopped paying attention to JP around Zeus And Hera.

Zhou Yu, judging by KR.

[Mr. Sacchi]

I almost forgot about Fatty Dragon, when I checked PaD it still had 43 minutes left in it though so I managed to one-shot it cause holy shit this team deals too much damage what the fuck.

I only even got one light TPA, Horus is crazy.

Now I just need to wait until tomorrow to get my Rainbow Keeper and then maxskill/level my chibi valk and then my big!valk is dead for good.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Should be Zhou Yu, yeah.

Next in line ultwise should be Awoken Leilan, Ult ult Sakuya, Tengu, and DKali with announcements of Awoken Haku and Karin teaser or something, since Sha Wujing should come after that (though I think Zaerog Infinity came before him).

I'm intrigued to see Ult Noah and Ult Verdandi myself. Especially if my hopes are right about Deus Ex Machina being an evo mat for all Norns (pls give ult Skuld). Ult Osiris/Hathor would be great if not only because it's the herald of ult Egypt 2s which I've been waiting for for quite some time now (hoping hard that Set and Osiris get treated well because they both have bright futures with me).

Told you. :v

I don't really think there is much of a chance of not one-shotting him since his HP is so low (but not low enough for most poisons to kill him before he kills you). It's more "you either deal 1-12 damage or kill him".

[hyorinryu]

I think I'm finally stuck in the game and of need to either grind hard or get a more suitable team. Gets to the last level on KoG, 2x Kirin leads, pop off both gravities, use a 3x God type multiplier, and then only gets him down to slightly below half health.

Yeah, Zeus is pretty annoying that way.  I think Kirin gravs  + Echidna barely let me beat him last time I did it. It's been a long time since I did that though. Much easier to faceroll with Satan. What's your team look like?

ok





first rush down and the rewards could not be sweeter

parvati strong

[Edible]

^ Woohoo!  My turn next.

I think my best shot to clear it is my current Robub team:

Ronia - Lu Bu - Pandora - Persephone - Ronia - Beelzebub

It gives me the HP to deal with Hera's bitchslap at the end, and should have the damage to nuke everything that needs nuking.

[The Greatest Dog]

But can it eat through a surprise Fatty appearance?

Rregarding burst, I manage to make it using Neptune as my enhance. So Lu Bu is definitely enough.

[Janitor Morgan]

Saw I had five stones, decided to make bad decisions.



but I was finally free from skillup hell whyyyyyyy (well I guess it does make no dupes possible without needing a non-uvo Luci but still)

[commandercool]

Aw, he's cute.

WTB 'Lil Gabe.

I don't know what I would do with 'Lil Gabe, I'm not even sure I want one. I just want to look at him. Imagine what he would look like, with his weird squinty eyes.

I think he'd be totes adorable, yeah.  Chibis of everything!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

>rdj pulling mini luci

How... very fitting for our community's Lucifer expert :>

[Edible]

But can it eat through a surprise Fatty appearance?

Shouldn't be an issue thanks to Beelzebub.  In an emergency I can just pop ronia/lu bu and stall on sowilo.

[Suikama]

oh yeah in the op I should be put down as Hypermax Awoken Isis and I uh I guess Verdandi since I have her in my BFF slot


fuck i died to fatty in hera rush

i had all the right tools but im still terrible at rows as pathetic as that is

like basically it went

>oh i have three rows time to use andro + reine
>wait fuck somehow i didnt see on wood orb welp that's only 2 rows it could still work if i space things for skyfalls
>makes only 1 row
:colonveeplusalpha:

[Edible]

[21:31:01] <Edible> ha ha ha ha haaaaaa
[21:31:08] <Edible> get fucked hera dungeon
[21:31:20] <Edible> I have defeated you with HORSESHIT

[trancehime]

You should probably practice working on that instead of dropping stamina on the Rush then until you feel confident you won't choke on it.

[Mеа]

Kirin, Mini valk, Echidna, Blue Valk (unevolved), Extreme King Metal Dragon. Kirin's at lv82 while the rest are ~60ish. Pretty meh composition, but I'm only rank 112 so I figure it's one of the better teams I have available to put together.
I'm planning on getting some other team ready, whatever that is. In the meantime, I'm going to level up the patchy Anubis team since it seems... 'doable' based on a video I watched.

Well, rows are pretty annoying without board changers tbh. I spend more time thinking on Perseus than Kirin since I don't trust my board changers. I still have yet to clear a rush myself.

I'd reccomend replacing EKMD with Verche Angelion. You'll be able to burst for more and do it much more often. They also have 3mil curves, so that makes levels easier. Blue Valk is a cool stat stick for now, but she's an offcolor heartbreaker. I'd say use someone else with more utility if you can.

You should probably practice working on that instead of dropping stamina on the Rush then until you feel confident you won't choke on it.

True but if I waited till I confident I could do most stuff, I'd have barely cleared anything, and I'm kinda behind the curve compared to a lot of you guys compared to time played as it is. Sometimes you just have to dive in.

Suikama honestly also probably could've handled it if it wasn't fatty either tbh.

Theres not really anything wrong with trying and nothing wrong with failing in the end.

You just learn and try again.

[Suikama]

i can kill fatty but i need to match an optimized board which i have practiced but then i just choked super hard multiple times

i did just destroy hera beorc though

finally you terrorize me no longer

[Chaore]

Yeah, that's kinda also what i expected too.

Chokes happen. Nothing wrong with that really.

[The Greatest Dog]

Until the day happens that I get LKali, sometimes Sakuya will just fail me without anything I can do. Does that mean Kirin isn't a good lead? Nah.

Try again another time. Take a break. Let that 99 stamina refill and jump in the dungeon again after a dinner or something.

You can load up on backup plans. Izanami, Susano, Sun Quan, Chester, Neptune. Keep trekking and hope you don't have to use them, but be glad you packed them when you do.

[commandercool]

Maybe this is just me, but I don't learn very well in low-stakes situations. There have to be some consequences or I don't get invested enough to take anything away. So to that end, putting stamina on the line and then dying horribly can be a lot more valuable than running Endless Corridors or farming, at least for some things.

I also think that's part of why I'm bad at Touhou. I don't pay attention during the first stage or two and then I die the second it gets even a little hard and then I get demoralized and then I lose. It's a bad habit, but I haven't figured out a way around it yet.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

It's important to know the difference between choking and just not being ready yet, too. I ended up blowing a few stones trying to beat Devil Rush a couple months ago and I was just straight up not ready for it. I still don't feel ready for it.

I didn't feel ready for Hera Rush today either though, and I nailed it on my second try-- but that's also because I got lucky and didn't get hit with Fatty. Chances of me winning would have plummeted had he shown up, since he was the only thing the team I used didn't have a counter for.

So basically, take the plunge, but don't keep bashing your head against the wall if it's not working out. Step back and examine your approach. Look for vulnerabilities and patch them. Sometimes you'll have to sacrifice power for utility and vice versa.

[Dorakyura]

IUlt Osiris/Hathor would be great if not only because it's the herald of ult Egypt 2s

They have to start with the cutest of all  :colbert:

[trancehime]

under construction. but once I get the evolution mats all will be good with the world.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Killing this bastard on turn one will never fail to satisfy me.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GRIEF YOU CAUSED ME IN THE PAST

[Janitor Morgan]

First screenshot is the aftermath of a 1 combo enhanced fire fullboard.

I can work with this.

[Edible]

Ronia + Minerva = ROFL, basically.

If you're ever interested in farming Sandalphon, I recommend that team you're using.

[commandercool]

"Oh man, I can't wait to do Hera Rush now that Beyzul is hypermax! This should be easy!"

Oh yeah, I don't use Beyzul when I run Hera Rush, I swap him out for black Metatron to have enough skillboosts to smite red Hera before she binds me. D'oh. Oh well.
