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

[Edible]

Hey, at least you got him in time to skill him up

[commandercool]

Fuck

I

can't

win

dungeons.

I've died five times to Zaerogoo today. Two of them were to fucking Samurai dragons, one was on the second floor, and two have been to Zaerog's first form. Apparently I just can't do six combos even with a million time extends. Both times I fucked up a move at the very beginning, scrambled to go back and fix it, and didn't have time to finish my combo. Ugh. And the worst part is that I'm going into that floor with five of my six actives up, so I know for sure that if I can just get to the last floor I'm guaranteed to win. But I can't get there.

 

[Chaore]

Fuck

I

can't

win

dungeons.

I feel you buddy. It took all day for me to finally get through zog8 without fucking something up.

I' almost tempted to just buy two skill delay tamas and make A.Ra for whenever I have to do that nonsense again.

[commandercool]

I had exactly the same thought. I didn't do it (yet), but I was tempted. Same with being tempted to buy a single dark resist just for the added insurance against Rog's 100% gravity.

[Mеа]

Oh lol wut special Black Friday 5 stones for the price of 1 one time deal? Since I'm such a sucker for discount deals, you're on.

He uses End of Pain when he is at water HP, so it won't save you.

He's a poor man combo god, fun to mess around with.

[trancehime]

We got a bunch of stuff.

https://twitter.com/pad_sexy/status/671602103454855168 Mecha-Hera (tentative) a new Coop Boss.

https://twitter.com/pad_sexy/status/671608828778033152 Super Ult Belial who for all intents and purposes is supposed to be similar to Awoken form.

https://twitter.com/pad_sexy/status/671609477376806912 Gronia Ult aka "I sold out and went TPAs hahahahaha :3"

https://twitter.com/pad_sexy/status/671610044052410368 Blonia Ult aka "lol Gronia i stayed loyal to rows and became awesome"

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Blonia was big and got bigger.

True Blue yo.

And a perfect sub for the Awoken I&I/Gabe/Motonari/Blonia/Bmeta/Ryune team idea :> (very big, 2/6.25-12.25/2.5 stats, 11 rows, skill bind proof, bind proof via BMeta). 

[trancehime]

Blonia was big and got bigger.

True Blue yo.

Yeah, Blonia's really good.

Gronia's much more disappointing in comparison except for her massive stat distribution but I really dislike how she's TPA instead of a 2nd green row. It was inevitable though due to the nature of her LS.

[commandercool]

He uses End of Pain when he is at water HP, so it won't save you.

There was a time when I was competent enough at PAD to figure that out. That time was two weeks ago. It is not now.

So needless to say, I could buy a blue resist instesd if I was going to buy a resist. Good thing I didn't.

At the very least I suppose it's good that I have nothing better to do in PAD right now. Except maybe +egg farming, a thing I would probably actually succeed at.

[Mr. Sacchi]

PCGF pulls:

Chrono Turtle

Water Cyberdragon

3rd Gabe.



Like holyshitgame I *know* you want me to finish that lakshmi team and all but give me a break with the gabes.

Idk if I should sell him, gabe might be amazing but I already have two and having a quick(er) heartmaker in the form of Berry Dragon is probably better than a third gabe in the team.

I'll probably buy the 5-in-1 bundle and go for another pull. Although at this point I'm not really sure if pursuing any of the things I want is actually worthwhile since neither Horus nor Vishnu seem capable of doing much in newer content.

(Or I'm just bad, which is likely the case.)

[trancehime]

Oh right, a thing I forgot:



500th day today

[commandercool]

5 stones for a dollar? Sure whatever.

Godfest still ongoing, let's do a pull.

Oh shit, it's gold!

Oh shit, it's blue!

Claymore, bleh.

I have four stones now, so I'll do one more tofay if possible. A more sa e commandercool would be saving these stones, but... Lol.

Edit: Aaah shit I'm in a room full of people doing pulls and getting good stuff (saw another Andromeda...). My willpower is weak. Bought six stones, two more pulls right now.

-Neptune
-Sakuya

Ooh, not bad. Not what I wanted per se, but both of those are solid. I use a friend Awoken Neptune all the time, although I don't know why I would want one myself. And Awoken Sakuya should make a solid sub for Ra if I need the bind clear. And both are pantheon gods even. Not bad at all.

[commandercool]

What.

WHAT.



Uh, guys, I think my ability to clear this dungeon may be greater than anticipated.

Gabriel scary.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Presenting:
The Great Nordis Chokefest: Matsuri's Comeback Story

The Complete Despair Saga:
Act 1:
[16:40:32] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I decided to face Nordis with AYomi. Now that I have Yomi Dragon, getting rid of Nordis' second form bind is a non-issue.
[16:40:47] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I made it all the way to the end. I had Pandora and Yomi available.
[16:40:55] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I prepared my kill shot. So many dark orbs.
[16:41:00] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Too many dark orbs.
[16:41:20] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Couldn't get AYomi's popcorn right and had too many other orbs connected to it.
[16:41:25] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> Victory was in my grasp.
[16:41:35] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> A +50 ATK Tama was eclipsed in my hands.
[16:41:43] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> And I crushed it, for I was far too strong.

Act 2:
[08:54:24] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> finally make it to him again
[08:54:33] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> haku is up, yomidrgn is up
[08:54:42] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> motherfucker's gonna die. easily.
[08:55:00] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> >His sword is raised
[08:55:04] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> >Proud Slash
[08:55:08] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> >19k damage, OHKO

Act 3:

[09:28:18] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO I DID IT AGAIN
[09:28:22] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> TOO MANY DARK ORBS
[09:28:26] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> PERFECT BOARD CHOKE

Victory: The Final Act

[09:52:51] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I won
[09:52:53] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I WON
[09:52:54] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> I DID IT
[09:53:02] <~Nadeshiko-Matsuri> AHAHAHAHAHAH EAT IT YOU SHITSACK

[OverlordChirei]

What.

WHAT.

Gabriel scary.

Killing fatty with tank teams is the shit yo

[The Greatest Dog]

And Gabriel's ult ult will only make him SCARIER
and prettier let's be real

[hyorinryu]

I feel like Green Sonia got kinda screwed here. Would two prong teams even want her? I feel like most of them would rather have Verdandi most of the time. I'm hoping they get buffed. I'd prefer the prong and orb enhance become rows. I don't like the offcolor row either, but I doubt that'll go away.

With super Gabriel I'm legitimately considering finalizing my team as Gabriel/Reine/Snow White/Sun Quan/Beyzul/Gabriel. Note that that team does not include Andromeda. Snow White actually may be more useful overall.

I'll have to do more testing (like beating this dungeon, for one). And possibly the biggest hurdle might be actually finding a reliable friend Gabriel.

And I am not yet convinced that super Gabriel is prettier.

I feel like her additional mult needs to go to 2x for 2 wood combos or something, because she's in a "master of none" situation right now. She got kitted out to play many different ways to fit with the "Balanced" theme which I totally respect, but she doesn't have enough punch to pull it off, especially with two other competitors. (AFreyja and her Holiday self)

Yeah. Green Sonia is looking pretty subpar next to Freyja and Sylvie. I barely use her at all and I run Perseus. Not even two green rows is pretty lame, especially looking at the Archangels.

[Edible]

Presently annoyed at myself for wasting 100 stamina on Nordis.

I have a surefire team that only requires me to not fuck up combos and that's basically all I did both times. ;_;

I've wasted 150 on Zhou Yu, who I should be able to waltz right over.  Two deaths to the guy himself, and once to XQ most recently because I thought for some reason not using a 7s to finish her was a good idea.  I wouldn't care SO much, but I kinda need another copy of that jerk now(thanks Obama Sakuya.)

Just picked up an attack enhance latent. Which any latent not resist are apparently worthless or situational. The guide suggested putting it on triple prongers, so either mini valk or my baby kagu, or just stick it on a leader just for show.

[commandercool]

Our loooooong battle is at an end.

Just got Scarlet left and I'll be back to having beaten every Legend Plus.

Edit: Beat Rogoo as well in my first try today. commandercool's back!

Despite what guides and others might say, I do not believe the words that stat latents are worthless.  They simply need to be in the right spot.  (Ie Atk on triprongers, RCV on Healers, etc.)

Resists are great, sure, but being one of the best does not make other options BAD.  = D

Autoheal, on the other hand, is worthless due to being too small a value per latent.

[Ruka]

So for Legend Plus dungeons, is it required to have a hypermaxed team or is it doable with a good, at least max level/awoken, composition?

I really want to try a Legend Plus, but I have no confidence in doing so.

You absolutely don't need to have a hypermaxed team. I don't own a full hypermax team at all and i've been able to beat them long before that. You just really have to know what you're doing.

EDIT: The eggs certainly do help though, but just be conscious of your limits.

Nothing is required. Not literaly, if that's what you're asking, and not really practically either. I wouldn't attempt it with anything less than a solid team that you know how to use and maximum levels, awakenings, and skill levels.

And keep in mind that some Legend Plus dungeons are much harder than others. God Rush is widely regarded as the easiest, and Yamato Rush is maybe the hardest. A few of them (Hera, Yamato, and sometimes Scarlet) have massive preemptives that require you to be prepared for them.

Which dungeon are you thinking about trying and what team are you planning to use?

Also, for the record, I don't own a hypermax team either. Two of them are extremely close, and I intend to have one by the end of the week, but I'm not quite there yet.
