Puzzle and Final Fantasy Thread XXV: Throw your Gil at the SOMETHING ELSE

[OverlordChirei]

raphael is not that good and light rows are butt

Challenge Dungeons! 1 by win8x

plz guys are you even trying

venus and wukong are beast too

[trancehime]

Green row lead where

JP actually has Gon but that's JP so I decided not to talk about him

[Janitor Morgan]

tonight on "how the heck did this work"

[The Greatest Dog]

I'm, uh, thoroughly stumped on Challenge 8. With the exception of Kirin (whom I must find a Santa Kirin to pair with), none of my teams have enough bulk to survive or +investment to survive more than two turns against Twinlits.
I can't use Zaerogoo x because flipping Raphael, or any dark primary team.

The only shot I had at just punching through everything with a non LD team would be with Yamato Takeru, but I would have to deuvo my Takeru because no dupes is awful

Edit: Today sucks less

Would Ariel/Kiriko/Valk/Cloud/???/Ariel be acceptable when Ariel's tripledongs come out? I'm thinking Himi Udon for Attacker typing with Physical HP and autoheal for days, Arthur for yet another orb change, or Athena because Athena.

With the amount of fixed orb changes, I could probably fit Leilan or Meimei on there with no regrets as well.

Remember, you could pair Takeru with a Shiva Dragon Friend

My Takeru team features Theurgia, Kiriko, Chiyome, Awoken Leilan, Wizard Laila, and Belial

essentially, gods do not exist

I thought about Shivadora X Awoken Shiva though. But fire/God isn't really a thing that I have a lot of compared to just "Fire/whatever"

[hyorinryu]

Currently waiting on that ult Sonia :V

You know, it might be unorthodox, but looking about what's been done so far, how about leading with Micheal. More rows than Raph who's been able to do work. Works with Mei, Throw in Awoken Freyja and I think you have something pretty interesting.

[Suikama]

i can actually farm zaerog8 now o/

the only threat is the chance of my finger slipping off the phone...

[commandercool]

I think my Kalloween team might actually have too many Kalis. I know "too many Kalis" is blasphemy, but given that I can stall I don't think I'll need them to burst consecutively that often. They still have great stats and awakenings (sans wasted skillboosts) though and a lot of my +eggs are in them, but I don't think I really need that many of her active in this case.

[The Greatest Dog]

hey uh how do you all go about FF skillup farming? I'm trying to nickel and dime my stamina by running the 45 version but I dunno how the drops break down.

._.

By forgetting I have Squall and much less importantly Zidane to skill up and ignoring it entirely.

OTL

[The Greatest Dog]

well now i'm sure cloud can wait for pys

cause getting kefka drops instead of buster swords sucks

[Suikama]

just wait until the collab ends and if he's not done by then, then its py time

[The Greatest Dog]

break from FF dungeon

I, uh, didn't realize invades could happen when my entire team was level 1.

[Suikama]

0/7 on zerobutt

whatever just one more clear for the full awakening and then i'll evo him and throw him into the never use bin

[commandercool]

Finally got around to breaking from +egg farming to do some One-Shot Challenge. I would've just skipped it but I didn't realize at first that it gave a million free stones. Cleared up through six, plan on doing seven whenever I rank up next and have some spare stamina. Should probably be able to do eight with something like Ra/WKali/HKali/BKali/Sun Quan/Sakuya or similar but I'm not sure if I'm going to take the stamina to try. Especially since I've gotten my last choice for every variable floor so far, which means I would probably just get another Bubpy I have no use for from eight. Don't even want to try nine, not sure what I would even use.

[Edible]

Let's talk about Typhon, shall we?

I've been kicking mine about recently and the playstyle is pretty interesting.  I assume focusing on dark rows +heart gen is the best strategy in general for him; doing so gives him access to quite a nice sub pool, some of which I have.  His ideal sub appears to be Mitsuhide, who combined with Typhon makes a board entirely dark/hearts; he comes with two row enhances to boot.

But since I lack a Mitsuhide, pairing DKali with Pandora would appear to suffice.  DMeta seems like a no-brainer as well, which leaves Asmodeus for extra board change and much-needed RCV, or Batman+Disruptor for delay?

[commandercool]

Typhon is one of those newer cards (relatively) that I have mentally filed under " ". He's too different from anything I'm used to playing.

That said, I've been hesitant to try anything like him because I have the impression that they're too orb-hungry to be able to activate consistently, but too frail to be able to stall up the skills that they'll likely need to get good damage. That might be completely off-base, and Typhon has more flexible activation options than some, so he might be able to sweep easy floors consecutively without skills.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I sure hope you pulled Halloween Thoth and Sopdet. I think they're pretty ace for Typhon.

(because what Mitsuhide )

[Edible]

I did.  And I didn't even consider using them.  Stupid me :V

plz guys are you even trying

venus and wukong are beast too

Missed this the first time, so addressing it now.

Raphael is the worst Archangel. I stand by that. But all of the other Archangels are excellent, so I'm sure he can still get shit done. His active is just worse than the others, even if his awakenings are better.

I love Venus and Wukong. A Wukong team centered around Venus is the next team I'm working on. I don't have a problem with white rows at all, largely because Venus exists and kicks ass. Worth noting though that I couldn't figure out how to get Raphael on said Wukong team because his active is too sketchy.

raph is also pretty much impossible to skill up now

I dunno, as a lead, his additional rows give him more burst, especially when you're packing an enhance. They could afford to buff his active a bit though. Sonias got theirs buffed after all.

I gave up waiting for Anglits to rotate back to him and blew them on Kanna. Why do Kalis need two rotations anyway?

In the most recent buff, the pre-ult DMetas got their AS changed to be the same as the UVO DMeta. For a long time, Devilit skilled up pre-ult DMeta before the whole skill up rotation thing became... well, a thing.

Suffice to say, Angelits are probably never going to skill up Raph again.

[OverlordChirei]

Because this is all the top tierlist drones are about, and therefore it would be a wise marketing move to cater to them.

don't you just find it amazing that this guy shows up right as we talk about him?

[OverlordChirei]

"yo what is up fuccbois I heard you were talking shit about me"

I wish they'd outright say it then. Couldn't sell them in case they rotate to him again. I wonder if he'll get new skillups with the ult.

[Mr. Sacchi]

Okay, that art is fucking amazing.

I need to know stats though, if he gets any less than an active buff and at least one more row it's gonna be really hard to justify putting him in light row teams.

Also, archangel of healing apparently plays with cubes... and has a sort of water tank for a forehead? Was that in his regular uvo art? rofl

[commandercool]

Husbando makeover when? (Actually it looks like the new Angel art is pretty much the old designs redrawn, so he probably won't get much of a makeover. Which is all good as far as I'm concerned. New pose when though?)
