Awoken Freyja has a partner now.

[Edible]

I was just thinking yesterday that we had no green dragonbound yet.

...

Is it me, or did they basically just edit an old Sakuya sprite for Sylvie? <_<

[MatsuriSakuragi]

You can only do so many poses before you run out :p

Anyway I like Sylvie but I can't use her with Awoken Astaroth.

EDIT: well I mean I CAN but

you know

[Suikama]

God dammit I'm ready to try Challenge 10 but I don't have any Ra frieeeeeends!

I made that call to swap Izanami in for the black slot so that maybe I can take Goemon's preemptive, but I'm not even sure what level I'll be when I get to him so I don't know how much HP I'll even have.

Edit: Okay, found one by refreshing the unregistered friends over and over. And then I got to Athena and she used Storm Punisher on me four times in a row, I lost three stones and all of my actives, and then I gave up in frustration without even winning because I was so pissed off after the third time. This isn't fun, it's just the game cheating to bleed stones out of me.

Edit edit: Went in with a non-hyper Ra because I was so mad at this dungeon that I had to beat it at any cost, got horrific luck on every conceivable enemy attack, finished it having lost ten stones total today. Not worth it at all. Fuck me.

Is your Ra hypermaxed? If he is then it should be easy to find other hypermax friends. Just use the padx friend finder.

If you dont have friend space then delete some people who never log in/you never use :V

[commandercool]

cmon man you know better than this

I mean, yes and no. I should have seen this coming, granted. My biggest weakness is that if I start to lose control of a situation I get flustered, panic, and start to make bigger and bigger mistakes. That's true for me in games as well as in life, and it's precisely what happened here. It's why I'll never be good at Touhou, and it's the biggest roadblock in my tenure as a tournament-level tabletop game player. So yes, I absolutely should have been good enough to expect this to happen, but I don't really know how to stop it. My best guess is "don't try", which seems to be a lesson PAD is sending me a lot lately. Don't try to build a metagame team, don't try anything extremy difficult.

This is a problem that just popped up yesterday for whatever reason (although the writing has been on the wall for a while). That's where I got most of these friends, although many of them also came to me because I had that first-hour hypermax Awoken Ra ready to go. Because it's so recent I haven't searched for more friends yet, but hopefully that will solve my problem, at least for a little while. Every other time this has happened I've turned out to be fucked, though.

[Suikama]

lol more tier list changes

now the only non-MP dragon S tiers are aRa, aSaku, and aAnubis (why)

[Suikama]

Wow so uh gungho decided to randomly throw in the Dragonbounds into the PGCF

[Jq1790]

Yup.  I still won't roll, but chalk up another 6* water GFE for me to want but probably never see, haha.

[trancehime]

[OverlordChirei]

sorry ccool gh forgot about beyzul

[trancehime]

It turns out they were releasing the Sonia ults as part of their event, as they're parading it in the 2nd half of 60M GungHo app downloads event.

EDIT: also x3 skill up bonus. Where was this when I was running light/water doge dragons?

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Well I guess it's good I got an ilsix huh

Incoming super ult Ronia with Lifive, calling it now

[Mеа]

Woo, Fagan get! I'm surprised I was able to almost no-stone that, I only died at Genbu where I got a board that left me with 1~2 hits away from killing her.
Now to wait on jewels :V

[trancehime]

[Espadas]

I can hear a thousand voices hollering like madmen about the new Sonia ultimates....  :V

Oh and i'm not sure if i should thank Gungho for adding the Dragonbounds to the PCGF: more non-dupes for my rolls, but also lower chance of getting Satsuki....

Finally got Phoenix max evolved! A.Shiva is almost here! But the big news for me is another....



And i literally just got the last skill-up on my LKali...... Time to crack some skulls with those Q-TIPS OF DOOM! 

[commandercool]

sorry ccool gh forgot about beyzul

That's okay, he's too cool to hang out with a chump like Sonia anyway. When they do acknowledge his existence someday, which surely they will, I'm sure it will be totally worth the wait and not at all disappointing  I'M SURE OF IT.

[Suikama]

C10 1 stoned

jesus christ never lucky

I had DIza up when I brought him to 50%, but then he just spammed blind

Then when DIza finally ran out HE HITS ME WITH COIN BARRAGE FOR MAX DAMAGE

1 IN 4 CHANCE TO KILL

then either I'd have to stone for stamina or stone for continue so I just took the continue and murdered his ass with dkali

I'll remind you that Athena used Storm Punisher, which is a 30% chance and the only move of hers that can kill me, four times in a row. Granted I was trying to stall on her, which was inevitably going to bite me, but it was much worse than it had any statistcal right to be.

Challenge 10 cheats.

[Suikama]

hmm maybe pdx is wrong about the numbers

i know it's missing the fact that many bosses will try to just straight up kill you instead of doing their regular attacks if you are at certain HP thresholds

this is how you can ignore sonia grand's perserverance. if you bring her to 1 hp but you also have one hp, she will try to 'attack' you instead of healing, but since she only attacks every other turn she'll do her charge up first if you timed it right

I'm aware of a few bosses having that mechanic, but is that really something that "many" of them can do? Because if that's relatively common it basically makes PDX worthless trash given that that's extremely important to know and they almost never report it.

[commandercool]

I need one Angelit to re-ult Izanagi for my Kalloween team and I'm capped on stamina. I should be farming Eva Collab today, but fuck it.

-Five Devilits in a row.

Technically PDX has that info in their tooltips for the relevant skills, but sometimes it's listed wrong (the current C8 Gabriel has his threshold listed as his Sandalphon Mythical damage, for instance). I've started using Skyozora more often for that reason.

Also for the Sonia Gran threshold, it's her unboosted Hell Poison Breath damage.

Other monsters off the top of my head that do this: High Light Ninja and Master+ AB Dashing Wingman.

[Espadas]

I know the feeling ccool..... Sometimes this game has no middle ground regarding luck:

5 twinlit runs for Dub-mythlit and Angelit = 4 baby Tama and 4 Devilit  :colonveeplusalpha:

4 baby Tama fed = 4 awakening  :wat:
1 Angelit fed = last skill-up on first LKali 


Btw i just tried A.Sakuya for the first time against Izanami mythical: OHKO every floor without even using skills except against boss or reaching 8/9 combos, and i brought Andromeda for 100% SLR too  :3 (too bad Iza still refuses to gain that goddaaaammm last skill-up.....)

So this is what it feels like to play with a high multiplier team!  :V

EDIT: altho that 19k HP was worrying me a lot.....

[MatsuriSakuragi]

18:12:03] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> YES
[18:12:06] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> OH MY GOD YES
[18:12:08] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> IT IS OVER
[18:12:22] <aUsernameIsFineToo> you're doing skillups?
[18:12:29] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Yes.
[18:12:36] <aUsernameIsFineToo> for what card?
[18:13:20] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Someone I fed away to Yomi Dragon because she was cursed and would not gain skillups no matter how hard I tried.
[18:13:37] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I saw that she was in this event and decided that I would end this once and for all.
[18:13:46] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Started from scratch today.
[18:13:51] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> DIzanami skillmax.
[18:13:55] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> motherfuckin
[18:13:58] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Determination.

[Suikama]

[trancehime]

as customary i recorded a video of the new descend

it's pretty trivial with wood teams. i wouldn't recommend doing it with a not wood team unless you have at least 30K HP without the wood boost.

[Suikama]

So Ra Dragon still does fine then :V

[trancehime]

So Ra Dragon still does fine then :V

Yeah, of course, with high HP or pluses.

But I wouldn't farm this dungeon with Ra Dragon, takes too much effort to match colors, when I can just match rows and win

[Mеа]

So Rare Monster Infestation dungeon later today. But I hear the drop rates are pretty dreadful?

[Jq1790]

From the JP players I heard basically yeah.  Get yer stone and get out.
