I just don't have the damage to take out Fairlio and still have all the ammo I need for the last floor.
This is the problem

I'm using aPandora with like 20 million rows but it's still not enough to kill even the Light Angelion...

Do the BSonias have to be hyper for this to work, or is it more the active you need?  If it's just the skill, well, how many of em do you currently have?  I might be able to scare up one or two more from my friend list.

Hyper really is preferable mostly just for the RCV. Stalling isn't easy as is and non-hyper subs would make it even harder.

Currently I have one, two would hopefully do it, three would be preferable.

As for damage, Fairlio is chippable and I've got two damage enhances (Blodin and I&I). Bad boardchanges could still be killer though.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

No, it's more like I'm expecting them to at least try to slow down the power creep, instead of just going with it and giving it turbo jets.

It's fine either way because they're bad anyway BV

I've been trying Skyway challenge with A.Pandora too and i MIIIGHT have found a way.

My last attempt was: A.Panda - A.Panda - A.Panda - A.Panda - A. FALuci - Lu Bu

floor 1-4: Panda actives if necessary
floor 5: Luci against Metatron Tama, then kill the masks
floor 6: fight him down, set up the board for when it converts wood/light, panda active to full heal and kill
floor 7: pray for a decent first board. My last attempt i got a bad first board and when i tried Panda+Lu bu on second turn i left him with about 25% HP left

the main problem is burst down Lifive, maybe it would be better to use A.Loki instead of Lu Bu for 2 turns of lower burst but i had zero Loki in friend list at the time

chirei how did you beat legendary skyway challenge i dont understand

frost dragon actually seems easier because its designed for tank teams

but skyway is just damage walls or die so like how

Did someone say skyway challenge

Used two I&I because I needed it all to take out Angelion and Lifive in quick succession.

so you basically have to get lucky on angelion, because if you knock her low you just auto lose to bind spam + green hp + shield on top

Uhh, how exactly do you plan to accidentally knock him down to green? Unless you are unlucky enough to skyfall an entire dark row at the wrong moment you can stall an eternity on Angelion.
Where you need luck is against Lifive.....

AND MY STRATEGY WAS RIGHT!  :D  :toot:




Against Angelion i stalled about 18 turns: first time he used the shield i used pandora to leave him with around 70% HP, then i waited until i finally got a good board after his wood/light convert.
You can stall easily because he either:
a) do nothing (shield)
b) gives you heart orbs
c) gives you light orbs to be converted into heart

and if you don't match a dark row you deal basically NOTHING of damage. I kept storing dark/green orbs on the top 2 rows and when he finally gave me enough wood orbs for 2 dark rows i used pandora and killed him.

The real deal breaker is Lifive: first board was decent, shaved about 20% hp, second turn pandora - luci - lu bu gave me exactly 12 dark orbs. Thankfully skyfalls got me over the combo shield and he went down ^^

Bind is only done under 30%, my winning run hit her down to green bar, just have to hit a bit harder to make up for the halved damage.

Should be easier with Andro/Gabe UUVOs (andro was yours)

I can supply a penta karin and penta skuld but that's like it, the latter doesn't have any rows either.

After a whole week of dog dungeons, millions of green doggies, like 5 black doggies, I get just 2 skill ups on Akechi. I guess the skill up odds weren't actually that bad but I'm still calling bs.

Lucifer wasn't even needed (i went in half-blind  :V) but can mitigate bad pandora boards....



Now there is only Ilsix challenge mode between me an Aren...... between me and farming about 20 badpys  :qq:

Challenge level 10.

Nothing like stalling 99 turns to get rid of that damage absorb.

Tried Ilsix challenge mode with the saaaaame team. Reached Starling fully expecting an harsh battle....

THAT MOMENT when i realized the cruel irony:

> Starling is GOD
> Lucifer will always heal him
> i can't kill him from above 20%
> i WILL eat a full board change that is a literal "YOU LOSE" button for this team  :fail:

If i tried it with 5 Pandoras i could have won  :colonveeplusalpha:

You can also delay her, or just hack her down since she doesn't hit as hard as she does in arena

That's really hard to do when you have to avoid doing high damage to her. With AAstaroth it is impossible-- and with AYomi on 7x6 it is very, very hard. I even pulled off a 10 combo with no popcorn and still healed her.

She was virtually harmless to NepDra. His poison really fucks her up and she gives him the hearts to stall for as long as necessary. And his good damage control made steadily chipping her easy. Nepdra/Ryune doesn't really care that much avout her low-health attacks either.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

Farm Valk for light jewels. At worst you'll end up with a max skilled Valk.

I dunno, do you think i have the stuff it takes for it to work ? My PADherder is in the signature. Keep in mind Cost Limit too.

Edit: Wow, it was quite outdated, just updated it, hope there is something of use.

Yeah I kinda facepalmed internally at that, not gonna lie.  Ugh.

Also Xiang Mei pretty but another case of "good but not good enough and far too specific team requirement" unfortunately.  Fire Healers aren't...really much of a thing.  There's what, like Gadius, Uriel, RRH, uh...Femme is useless due to her active, uh...

Some others I talk to are speculating Healer A.Uzume which could help if you lack the Hood, but yeah...
