suikama have you been drinking tierlists again

you need to stop that dude, you have a problem

[OverlordChirei]

In more important news:

10x Descends from 4/4-4/10, Hera-Sowilo and Tengu are in coin dungeons for the duration with 1.5x drop

7 more stones and a gift dungeon instead of tamadras like everyone expected

Bleach Incoming which is another stone

Athena Tournament is another stone

NA Stream on 4/8 will probably give another stone at minimum

NA looking pretty nice right now

[Suikama]

suikama have you been drinking tierlists again

you need to stop that dude, you have a problem

She has super high HP and RCV due to heart spam

Makes her able to clear stuff like Zeus Mech solo

[trancehime]

suikama have you been drinking tierlists again

you need to stop that dude, you have a problem

She's strong in a "you can beat pretty much anything if you have this specific team and maybe this specific skill inherited" kind of way

That's to say she isn't OP but you're being delusional if you're dismissing her strength.

She's basically Ra Dragon but somehow less flexible, but then you're pretty much biased against MP stuff and universally call pretty much all of them garbage soooo

[Monarda]

Just a note here:

Tomorrow, PreDra Infestation will come back, hopefull we`ll get lucky and have nice drops.

[The Greatest Dog]

ahhh guys what do I do with 280 stamina but only 28000 exp to rank up

King Carnival??? :|

[Monarda]

Probably, dunno.

[Edible]

King Carnival??? :|

This is what I would do.

Speaking of which, why did they skip enhance carnival and go back to rare monster carnival? :|

About 549878 other players are wondering the same thing, me included, i have 18 Rolls that were waiting to get me some EXP Fodder.

They had to screw us over somehow with all the awesome event bonuses we just got.

[Jq1790]

If that is the price I have to pay they can keep rare monster carnival up forever if we can keep the descend and skillup bonuses, not gonna lie.  Totally worth.

I just played co-op for the second time using my Shiva and his Urd, and it was horrific. He is a terrible, terrible player. he wasted 240 of my stamina by just failing to ever even attempt to do prongs, even when they were super obvious. It's no wonder he's been playing for longer than me and is like half my rank.

I forget if there was some established reason why you don't, but you could get better results probably by pairing with us here if you go on the IRC or something...*prods the link in Chirei's signature and the channel callout in mine*

Still sucks to lose 12 hours of stam though, ouch.

[commandercool]

I wasn't doing this to accomplish anything, he just kept bothering me to help him beat Legend Plus dungeons.

I haven't teamed up with anyone here because nobody plays anything that works with any of my stuff. Until recently anyway. And my teams that can team up with anyone are so rough that I don't think they can probably do much I can't do solo. I'm sure I'll team up with one of you guys eventually, but I don't have very high expectations right now.

This is 50% of the reason I haven't touched co-op. The other reason is finding time.

[commandercool]

My internet can be unstable sometimes too so I have some concern about accidentally fucking over a stranger if I get dropped mid-dungeon.

I run the strangest stuff out of anyone in the chat and have probably gotten off the most co-op rounds overall.

I also don't really play co-op for the intent to need to beat something, but for fun. I grew a lot less mad about the idea once I started taking it on those terms.

Disconnects happen, and the people here are generally aware that it's no big deal. It's really only frustrating imo when you're playing with a guy that doesn't know how to use their lead like that friend of yours.

I'd suggest using data if it's not spotty in your area - I did a few dozen test runs on release and all those runs only used up mere kbs of data.

Is that literally just an additional Godfest but without risk of trash?

And as a sidenote, crie-ery-tim rank 91

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Nah, it's a one-time pull. But no worries! You're not too far away from your first memorial pull, which you get at either 100 or 150, I think. It has everything from before the Three Kingdoms Pantheon, I think.

[Hikarin]

Pretty sure it's 150. I could use an auto-healer God, but Ammy RNG doesn't like me, so I'm not getting my hopes up there. For the most part, I'm only ever competent at dungeons when I'm using either a friend's AwokenAma or Pollux.

EDIT: I'm 90% sure Ammy is from before Three Kingdoms.

1:  You will want to learn to not rely on autoheal leaders; they're handy crutches for earlier in the game, but they're just that:  crutches.  Outside of if you can form a proper team for Awoken Amaterasu (or to a lesser extent, Attackerasu,  the L/R form you might see on some super rare occasion) they're usually really limited by the time you get to later on as leads.  Using a friend Pollux, on the other hand, is good.

2:  Ammy's in the Rank 150 Memorial REM, as she is part of the Japanese series of gods, both sets of whom are included.
The included pantheons are:
-Greco-Roman Series 1 AND 2
-Norse
-Egyptian Series 1
-Japanese Series 1 AND 2
-Indian Series 1
-Chinese
-Archangels Series 1
-Archdevils
-Heroes

GFEs:
-Odins
-Sonias
-Metatrons

[Hikarin]

Hmm... I see. I guess I'll try to practice without autoheal then.

On the topic of team-building, what should I try to replace a Keeper of Gold with? I absolutely hate having that thing there, but they're pretty good. I just don't like having three Evo Materials on my team. My current strategy is use Sunrich>Pollux>Keeper>Mystic Mask to get a full board of enhance minus five, and then link five on the far left, shove the five non-light next to that, and then have the remaining twenty orbs next to all that, for 3.01x on the twenty, combo'd to three, times four with Pollux. Or even more if I have a Pollux helper. That nets around 3,000,000 damage max, if I'm correct. I'd like to either improve upon this strategy or just replace the Keeper, but with the stats the Keeper has, I can't find much to replace it with, while maintaining or keeping similar the active skill.

[Jq1790]

Ah, is your PADHerder current?  Maybe I can come up with something.
