[trancehime]

thanks for the stone desu

[MatsuriSakuragi]

AHAHAHAHAH EAT WOOD YOU FUCKIN' JACKASS



FIRST ZEUS CLEAR

DID IT ON MY THIRD TRY, NEEDED STONE BUT IT WAS WORTH

Seriously though this dick kept absorbing my attacks because it's really stupid hard to match 5 hearts + 4 wood + 4 more combos when he keeps throwing jammers at you every turn. I seriously had to endure 30+ turns of 15k+ damage to deal with that and I got him SO CLOSE so many times but Asgard's a fuckin' bro and a half and let me tank a couple Supernovas (spoiler: with that HP and with Asgard on, Super Nova takes my HP down to 84 YES THIS WAS SERIOUSLY A CASE OF +EGGS SAVING LIVES). But finally I get a good Skuld board and he finally went down god DAMN that was tense. Give me those snow globes!

bonus gaia and bub

Hoooolyyyy geez,you're on a warpath lately, aren'tcha, Matsy?

Brb powerleveling the Wood Guardian Ive had for prob a year+

[The Greatest Dog]

... I'm just gonna BeelzeRonia God Rush again.

Context:

Clearing Mercury with Kirin took everything in my power to not die

[Jq1790]

I really need to remember to try those strats myself...Wonder if it'll still work if I'm running RED Sonia as opposed to dark-focused RSonia like I believe is more popular?

[Suikama]

holy shit finally egypt 2.0 ults

hopefully they do something interesting for Isismom


Verdandi ult where though lol

[commandercool]

Alright, I threw away my extra Ame like two days ago. Don't make me look stupid by making her super stackable. I don't expect that to happen, but... Don't do it.

Also since we're on Japanese 2.0 split forms, new Izanagi soon please.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

PARVATI STRONG

for real though I'm just collecting snow globes and it's a very strong incentive to win

Viz Asgard is a must-have for any wood repertoire. He's easy to level up and easy to skill up, and he's unbindable with huge hp. You can't go wrong!

This is exactly why I kept two of my three of her. If she's not stackable or just not worthwhile for me, I'll probably sell the second.

[commandercool]

Based on past trends I think it's safe to guess that these new forms will be sub-focused with inferior leader skills and more awakenings. In that case you very well might want two of her, since you can have her skill up permanently and presumably she's going to have two rows or something. But given my disinclination to want to spend two sub slots on an active like hers, I probably would not do that unless her awakenings end up being incredible.

[Chaore]

:getdown:

(ult osiris is a thing too but this is more important)

Yeeeesss.

Become bind immune, you can go mixed or something after that for all I care, just become bind immune for fucks sake.

[Jq1790]

Yeah, I shoulda done that ages ago...Reminds me I still need to get a Gold Keeper team down.  I think Hermes/Skuld could do it, but I need Hermes maxskill or one off from such for it to work(Nornboard as much of his light HP as I can, then use SQ and Orochi to buy me enough time to fire it again once he is fire since a Nornboard from there I'm pretty sure will take it out in one hit) and he's been very stubborn. 

ARTEMIS on the other hand, is just one skillup from max as of yesterday which is fantastic.

[Edible]

Verdandi ult where though lol

I think it only took a week or so for Ult Diza and Ult Rodin art to be revealed after the announcement of survey winners.

It's been a little over a week since the last stream.  So it should be soon?

I'm obviously okay with a Verdandi ult but I don't think they're gonna do anything big with her mechanics-wise.  So I'm more interested in Ult Noah.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Oh, hey, Osiris uvo, cool, cause apparently this game really wants me to be a wood-centric guy. Between my multiple meimeis, vishnu, GZL, Liu Bei and Osiris...

Still though, if he gets another skill lock resist, he's definitely getting a sub slot on my green team, double points if he gets a second TPA.

[Janitor Morgan]

I'm obviously okay with a Verdandi ult but I don't think they're gonna do anything big with her mechanics-wise.

They could go the literal interpretation of "mechanics-wise" and give her sub-Machine. :V

But yeah, Noah's who I'm looking forward to out of that batch. Wonder how Awoken Sakuya's going to turn out too.

inb4 new haste active, five prongs, and resist tacked on ls

[Edible]

I would put money on the Norns all getting machine type at some point, absolutely

I'm actually quite excited about Noah, especially if she's on the same level as Athena/Beelz/Goemon.

Hopefully they just fucking forget about Awoken Sakuya entirely, I can't believe they even allowed for her to be voted a secondthird time

inb4 new haste active, five prongs, and resist tacked on ls

oh god why

[Suikama]

They're probably trying to be very careful with aSakuya because if she's over or underpowered there will be another shitstorm :V

[commandercool]

For Verdandi they could definitely just get away with "minor stat boost, second prong, case closed" and I think everyone would be happy. Including me, although I think it would be interesting if they could pull off a powerful new form without adding any prongs.

They could go the literal interpretation of "mechanics-wise" and give her sub-Machine. :V

Isn't this already confirmed? I thought it was.

[The Greatest Dog]

As someone with a dupe Kirin, I don't agree entirely. Awoken forms have thus far provided reasons to keep duplicates, even multiple duplicates in some cases. Kirin's uvo forms thus far don't really have any "stacking" potential in the way that Awoken Byakko, Meimei, Susano, and so forth provide.

[Suikama]

Awoken Kirin

LS: x5 for each Awoken Leilan/Meimei/Karin/Haku on your team, up to x20 :V

Active: 100% gravity BV

Give in to the desires. Wood game too strong.

[Jq1790]

Accidentally hit Theurgia into her berserk mode when Burning Blizzard was the only thing I couldn't survive. 

Paid the stone tax, got a stone back, Grimoires Mythical clear, Theurgia get.  I will do this properly later, but I dont think it'll be today. Waaaay too many close calls.  Still, for finally deciding to do the wood version of my Hermes/Skuld deal it went better than expected.  The RCV deficit is real.

Probably the worst part s I wanted to wait for Perseus to be back up to help with bursting but if I had just popped Artemis with what I HAD I probably would have nostoned.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Give in to the desires. Wood game too strong.

Really at this point I'm considering stopping my other projects and just hardcore going into my Green Team.

It feels really disheartening when everything I can do with Awoken Horus I can also do with my Meimei Team, only easier and tankier.

Not that Awoken Horus is bad, not by a long shot, but Meimei just seems to be able to match my Awoken Horus on damage without really breaking a sweat. TPAs stronk I guess.

[commandercool]

I wasn't even going to bother with Zeus Challenge except the last floor because I reeeeally don't need any more orbs, but once I finish that it's only 200 stamina to get the stone for clearing all of them, which is basically worth it if I have nothing better to do. And I don't. So I guess I need a way to throw away orbs. I still haven't made Dancing Hera (because I don't care about her, but whatever, might as well), I can skill up Awoken Meimei if I decide to maker her (might as well) and... I could skill up haku? I guess? Ugh.

[commandercool]

Maybe this is common knowledge and I'm the only one who was surprised to see it, but did you guys know there's an animation for triggering leader skills that care about enhanced orbs? I just used Krishna briefly in Endless Corridors for the first time, and a little explosion of plusses pops up when you activate the "1.5x attack when matching at least five orbs containg an enhanced orb" part of his skill.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Apparently PaD has lore?!?!?!?!?!?!

Ah, so those were plusses?  I ended up doing something similar(OoH rather than EC but whatever) and was pretty surprised the first time.

[Janitor Morgan]

I really like Zeus & Hera.



So much so that I forget to check basic team requirements because of them, but thankfully their gravity is strong enough my error seems to not matter. :V

[The Greatest Dog]

What the fuck gave me two light combos as skyfalls when I was just trying to heal

If I had known that I was going to get a free attack I would have used, you know

Any of the three active skills I had charged?
