Puzzle and Dragons Thread XXVI - Everyday Christmas With Monster Musume

[MatsuriSakuragi]

It is complete, bar the levelups, ults, tamas, and Piis. (4 more woodpy needed.)

I bought a victory pull.

>dupe Blonia

Oh right. My water team is a thing too, isn't it. But do I really need two of her...

[Suikama]

Actually she's a pretty good sub for herself so yeah :V

[OverlordChirei]

New Years Part 2 announced.

-More Stones
-Kanetsugu, Sowilo, PADZ, AND Goemon in regular descend lineup, basically all the optimal stamina per plus dungeons.
-?? on 1/8.
-Jewel Gift Dungeon

Pretty good, GH...

Also oh my god 10x is being extended ahahahahahaha fuck me

(not really, I'm pretty burnt out on it at this point. I'll wait until next time to do more plus grinding.)

[commandercool]

Well shit, here I was going to be done farming +eggs after tomorrow because Zeus Challenge is ending, and I was going to start the challenge dungeon after that. But I also want to try farming all of those upcoming descends, so I suppose I might as well start the challenge dungeon now.

[Tea Devil]

So I've managed to avoid rolling the godfest so far because it didn't seem like there was anything I desperately needed. I wonder, though, if I should make at least one attempt for Susano...thoughts?

[Jq1790]

IF the GFEs are of any interest to you as well, this is the time to roll because of the -4x- multiplier on them, which VERY seldom happens; if you want a better shot at Susano alone without regard to anything else, I think a normal JP1 Godfest is a better bet.

[commandercool]

You know, I think I'm just going to go nuts on this godfest with the last of my stones. There's some stuff up I wouldn't mind having, and it'll keep me from wasting them on more event REMs. I should be able to turn up enough to do a couple of pulls on the New Years REM for goofs, but this is probably a more efficient use. I have enough for three right now.

-Alrescha (Not bad, I almost never pull water stuff even though I main blue so I might want this some day)
-Fifth White Kali (Sold)
-Fourth Urd (Sold)

Not bad I guess.

Edit: I haven't pulled a silver from the REM in forever. I suppose some of that is removal of a lot of the chaff from the machine, but I've also been crazy lucky.

Just a few points away from 300,000 MP too. Not that I plan on using it any time soon.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

I'm surprised you don't want Neptune Dragon, really, for how much you run blue.

[Tea Devil]

Okay it's a super good godfest so surely one roll won't-

- Kakkab

why is this even in the machine what??!

[commandercool]

I'm surprised you don't want Neptune Dragon, really, for how much you run blue.

I guess. Is he good? He seems okay to me, but I'm not a huge fan of that kind of leader skill. I'm probably undervaluing his recovery modifier and haste for allowing you to easily recharge orbchangers to keep ammo flowing, but he just doesn't inspire me particularly.

Hey, don't knock the cyber beasts, they're interesting. I don't know if he's necessarily an optimal sub on black prongs, but I'd like to try him.

[Jq1790]

It's actually not terrible.  Fitting pull for someone who calls themself a devil, right?  = D  (It's unbindable and needs no evolution which is nice, plus it's a reasonably fast dark orb converter with double TPAs so it can hit decently; only sticking point is its terrible RCV)

Sorry you didn't get anything you were after though.

[Tea Devil]

It's not that I think it's bad, it's just that I already have one. And yeah, I'd have preferred pretty much anything else even if I didn't.

Well, I got Ilm on my other account so I can't be too mad.

[The Greatest Dog]

Challenge level 8 with Raoh was quite the fun time. Nukes Venus to death, as usual, then just barely let Theurgia live so she could "debuff" me with fire orb rates.

Proceeded to nuke Paulina and Armadel. If Noah lived and triggered her jammer attack, I was ready to use Raoh's skill. Same with Angelit poison, but fire orbs caused them all to die instantly???

[Jq1790]

...welp, looks like I didn't make out much better, but I can probably find a use for her.

FAIRY TALE GIRLS ARE LIFE lately. I mean, she's no Sleeping Beauty or Red Hood, but she's still better than Metatron.

I'm... not sure how much I'm kidding there. :ohdear:

[Jq1790]

Most likely heals for more HP, at the cost of a turn.  Comparable Atk to LMeta because of TPA shenanigans, lower RCV, higher HP by a bit.  One turn slower than LMeta but the hearts can be both offensive and defensive.

I'd say she's on-par at least.  That thought is horrifying, that a ult'd GFE is matched by an evo of a silver egg, but, well, LMeta's the ignored sister of the pair while all her needed buffs go to the already-powerful-enough DMeta.

[The Greatest Dog]

It is still the result of fairy tale girls being buffed. Unbindable helps the whole "cleric" thing a lot, and as long as you accept that their ATK (bar Thumbelina) isn't meant for attacking but you use their active skill for that instead...

I'll probably end up maxing out Red and Sleeping Beauty for Raoh and Zaerogoo respectively. The lack of bind clear on those teams is killer. :c

[commandercool]

Most likely heals for more HP, at the cost of a turn. 

It doesn't really cost a turn though, since you can still attack the turn you do it. The main downside is that it doesn't happen until after you attack so you can't boost yourself back over an HP threshold (like, say, Metatron's leader skill) before you attack, but that doesn't come up all the time. But yeah, it'll probably heal more. Metatron's heal just doesn't heal that much HP. I feel like it really, really needs to be percentage-based to hold up to a heartmaker. I know it's fast so they can't have it instantly healing too much of your team's HP, but it's just a tiny sliver on a reasonably bulky team.

Comparable Atk to LMeta because of TPA shenanigans, lower RCV, higher HP by a bit. 

Wait, seriously? Is there any math behind that?Her attack is comparable after TPAs? But it's so low. Christ.

One turn slower than LMeta but the hearts can be both offensive and defensive.

Yeah, more than a fair tradeoff in my opinion. And from experience with Snow White, even if you need to heal a lot of binds quickly this skill is still better because you can save some hearts for later to bind clear again with her heart row. Not until after you attack, granted, but it's super useful.

I'd say she's on-par at least.  That thought is horrifying, that a ult'd GFE is matched by an evo of a silver egg, but, well, LMeta's the ignored sister of the pair while all her needed buffs go to the already-powerful-enough DMeta.

Yeah... Yeah.

First super-uvo of a godfest exclusive please Gungho?

I'll probably end up maxing out Red and Sleeping Beauty for Raoh and Zaerogoo respectively. The lack of bind clear on those teams is killer. :c

Do iiiiiit! Let's try to complete a the set of hypermax fairy tale girls! Although I don't know who's going to be willing to hyper Thumbelina, her base HP just seems too low to me.

[Jq1790]

Not QUITE as high as LMeta's damage at base Atk, but pretty darn close assuming the TPA.  She actually hits HARDER than Metatron at max though.

LMeta Atk, Lv 99, no plusses:  1330*1.25(4 orbs attacking) = 1662
+99 Atk:  1825*1.25 = 2281

Cinderella, Lv 99, no plusses:  802*1.25(4 orbs attacking)*1.5(TPA) = 1503.
+99 Atk:  2431

He's good. Think of him as a super strong cross between Andromeda and Neptune. Ridiculous multiplier/row potential, and the 1.5x RCV is a godsend. Then again, you run Gabe, so you know how useful it is to be able to recover with high efficiency. Meanwhile, his active plows down high defense shit and would actually work quite nicely for wearing bosses down when you play stall. He's very solid.

Huh. Yeah, makes sense. I never really considered buying him, but I can see why that might be good. I'll think on it some more I guess.

[Espadas]

Welp, sometimes being stubborn as a mule pays off. Kinda....
I was still grumbling over Deus Ex mythical and in the end.... "Fuck it, i WILL clear you now, even if i have to waste a stone!"
0-stoned 

The reason i said that it kinda pays off? I got 5 drops, but NO WAY IN HELL i'm gonna feed her off after being such a pain in the ass to clear, because sooner or later she will become evo mat..... So basically i got the same +eggs of a Classic Zeus run  :V

Hey, don't knock the cyber beasts, they're interesting. I don't know if he's necessarily an optimal sub on black prongs, but I'd like to try him.

If we ever get AoT, there are literally only 3 fire-coverage subs for Levi: him, Batman+Disruptor, Demon Hadar >_>

And despite owning Hadar since forever and actually using him with Ronia, i only now noticed that he is a RIDICULOUS stat stick for a farmable!! O_O
Holy shit, his weighted stats are better than most AWOKEN GODS ffs! Even the new OP Awoken Archdemon Lucifer is barely 11 points higher than him!

On the matter of ccool's 300k choices, don't forget Charit?. Don't know if she'd fit in your team but that active is killer.

[Mr. Sacchi]

And despite owning Hadar since forever and actually using him with Ronia, i only now noticed that he is a RIDICULOUS stat stick for a farmable!! O_O

Farmable dragons tend to be like that, dud actives, awakenings and leader skills.

To compensate, they are absolutely ridiculous statsticks.

Of course, the mechdragons are kind of an exception to the rule, their awakenings are okay for farmables and their actives aren't completely useless either.

Also I just noticed it's been forever and a half since Canopus and Hadar got uvos but none of the other three have seen them yet, y gungho.

@EDIT:

Oh my god.

Orbtrolled three times in a row against Journey to the West.

Hey, here's not enough orbs for an activation AND no hearts! (Death 1 against floor 2)

Hey, here's A COMPLETE LACK OF HEARTS WHATSOEVER AFTER THE 99% GRAVITY THAT STARTS FLOOR 2 (Death 2)

Hey, you managed to get through floor 2! (By lowering the difficulty from Mythical to Legend). Congrats! Now here's floor 3, where we know you did a simple 4 combo with three matches each color and managed to activate AHorus's x16, but more damage is always good right? So here's skyfalls to get you to TWELVE COMBO and an activation of x20,25!

Oh yeah, and now you die to Dick Mc Douchenozzle's 1% combo. Cause that's fun!

[Akala]

Hi here !
I keep hearing about this game, wasn't interested first because "Meh, another Match3 F2P P2W game" but it seems that's absolutely not the case, and that the game is really good.
However, the description of the App in the AppStore says that the game take 36.6 MB of memory, which seems to be really really small.. I guess it's that same as Terra Battle, the App will download some data once launched right ? So, could anyone tell me how much memory it takes once everything is downloaded  ?

Thanks a lot !

[trancehime]

im pretty sure PAD is the first match-3 RPG that really broke out lol

also the game on my phone takes up 280mb of memory after data compression

[Mr. Sacchi]

Probably more akin to 500-600mb without it, I can't check rn.

Still though, although spending money definitely makes the game much easier, it is... surprisingly fair to Non-IAP players.

Source: I am non-IAP. So is Chirei and he's probably the best player we have.

[trancehime]

I like to think I'm up there, but I'm probably the biggest spender on this whole board so I don't think my opinion weighs very much when the prevailing demographic is non-iap

[Mr. Sacchi]

You are indeed probably one of the better players we have as well (I'm certainly not up there at all lol) it's just that you're also the biggest spender here so using you as an example would've been kinda weird :V
