Heart Shield and Dragons Thread 32 - Some Festive Edition

[Thaws]

I have a feeling this 2% bar might be too generous for me.



I like how I start seeing all of these everywhere after I already trial and error'd what it takes to kill dudes myself over like 20 runs :negative:

It's ok Chirei! Jp 2% border was 121600! You can keep playing :V

o right that's a thing

[MatsuriSakuragi]

So Revo Gods are a thing for NA now. I just sunk so many resources into evolving and maxing out my Parvati, Lakshmi, and Ceres. Over 60 MILLION EXP total (Lakshmi got a GREAT!! on 4 Bleu). Fed my Memorial Tama away to Ceres. Knew that little fucker would be worth something.

Meanwhile REvo Venus seems like an downgrade  to me, especially Art-wise.

[commandercool]

Ooh, definitely gotta get Lakshmi did. And Neptune. Might even give one of them a spin for the One-Shot Challenge for a change of pace.

[Zengar Zombolt]

The only one I can access right now is Shiva but hell yes I want it.

I love REvo Venus' art. It's a lot prettier without those creepy-ass cherubs.

It's her LS that feels like a bit of a downgrade to me. Sure, she can do 36x and all, but trading 50% Water/Light/Dark resist for 75% Light resist feels like a bad tradeoff. Meanwhile the RGB set gets the 50% triple resist. I feel that having 75% resist to three colors (assuming paired leaders) is more useful than having 93.75% resist to one-- especially in a color that has some really solid damage reducing actives at its disposal (Yuna, Indra, etc).

Yeah the LS is also a big turnoff, since it makes her sooo niche, but the art for me really seems off, the coloring just looks weird to me, and if you looks closely...

 

...you can see that a quite a bit of her art is recycled from from the Awoken version.

[commandercool]

God, revo Lakshmi's art is max adorbs.



Revo Neptune is making me reeeeally wish I had a Trash Garbage again. Her active is much more compatible than Gabe's. Although this is one of those situations where Gabe's higher attack is actually pretty relevant, which is isn't always.

Agreed and agreed. Plus I like the pink hair.  The leader skill is amazing in some really niche situations but is mostly considerably worse IMO.

That's... what almost all of the Reincarnated art looks like so far, with some exceptions. A palette-swapped Awoken art. Small tweaks. In fact, hers is one of the most significantly changed-- Ceres, Minerva, Neptune and Lakshmi are barely changed in comparison. Shiva, Venus, and Parvati's changes are a bit more pronounced. Hades probably has the biggest change.

[Monarda]

Well, different tastes i guess, i still can't get over the strange coloring. (Although i do like the wings.)

[Mеа]

ReVenus's pink hair looks a lot prettier imo than her regular awoken's weird salami pink red thing with shading that makes it look like plastic.

e: oh hey ilm evos are a thing now, don't really have the team for her though

[commandercool]

He turned red at a real bad time and forced my hand. Fortunately it worked out.

First time through I misread "nullifies 20 million damage or above" as "nullifies 2 million" Needless to say, I, uh, lost that run.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

i just spent a lot of resources to take babby sano to max level/awoken/skillup so rceres can have FUTAE NO KIWAMI AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH inherit for the sake of farming myr

i have no rceres friends

why

[The Greatest Dog]

I've forgotten how strong 75% resist for three colors is.



Sorry, China girls.

[commandercool]

Sorry, China girls.

As much as Neptune and Ceres are strong, and they are VERY strong, their actives blow for leaders. The Chinese do have them beat by a country mile for stackable actives.

Minerva on the other hand, holy shit.

[The Greatest Dog]

If the China girls didn't need ~all three~ of their colors spawned by their board change I would be more likely to agree. But, if each of the China girls made like "their three colors plus hearts" that would be the dream. Or, if Leilan somehow made RGLD such that she could combo with either Minerva or Yamato Takeru, and so on.

As it is now, how many rows do you expect to make with Karin's board change?

[commandercool]

As someone who is generally outspoken against board changes that don't make hearts, I would expect one. However, if you're committed to a Chinese team you're definitely packing ways to adjust your board and most likely get to two rows plus spacing filler.

Mine's not finished being leveled(and not plussed) because I an out of globes but hi. 

Aoshi has a hyper one, bug her sometime.

EDIT:  Speaking of RCeres, how does this sound?

RCeres(Ishida inherit)/Alnair/Perseus/Artemis(G/D)/(flex slot, such as Balboa for M+ dungeons to kill PreDRAs)/RCeres?

Much of the team needs raising(including Ishida so he even QUALIFIES to be inherited) but it SEEMS like it should be decent? Tons of bind clearing potential, a relatively easy way to get a wood row in Alnair(as well as a board fix for Heroic Blade should I need it), the obvious damage reductions, room for flex subs...Seems like it should work in THEORY but I'm curious of others' thoughts.  Ishida's skill being stupidly slow is my main gripe but with the defenses I'd be running with it seems like it should be feasible to stall up if I play well.

[OverlordChirei]

Sorry, China girls.

you do realize they're next in line for revos right

[The Greatest Dog]

until I get a Karin they might as well not exist

I'm wondering what they'll do, more specifically. Traditionally, it seemed like China girls had less damage resistance but more attack multipliers (and difficulty getting those), but now Greco-Roman has more of both. What are they going to do, have x10 for matching their three colors?

Not that Indian, Egyptian, or Hinokagutsuchi have gotten particularly ~amazing~ reincarnations.

[Dr Rawr]

Been spending 100% of my stamina farming noctis skills  ups the past 2 weeks so mion dungeon has been a pretty cool break. Went in blind and got super boned when I tried using my burst with her time debuff lol

[The Greatest Dog]

"greatly reduced"

that was like
one second for my team :c

Still cleared the snowglobe challenge though.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Got super stumped by L+, but mythical wasn't so bad at least.

[The Greatest Dog]

sheeshus I don't have enough Lumiel for everything

Ceres can use that inherit combined with Perseus for 50/25/25 wood/heal/dark
Neptune can use that inherit combined with Sitri for 75/25 water/dark which is like THE THING
Sarasvati can use that inherit with Hatsume/Andromeda/Sitri/Amon and get DAMAGE

anyways I hypermaxed my Ceres (I need Alnair and Ishida Mutsunari skillups though)
I think something as simple as a Marine Rider inherit on Ceres will be what I do for now.

[commandercool]

So, is there a ranking dungeon run that doesn't involve popping Cecil on the fifth or six floor and just praying that the game doesn't give shit RNG for once? I feel like I've hit a fucking brick wall and my score isn't even that good.

[Jq1790]

This was way more annoying than I would have expected it to be.  My HP was so looooow.  Mad props to Courage who did a crap ton of work in here.




At least the harder one is done now so I can finish the easier one at my leisure.

I use Noctis on floor 5 personally since Cecil giving two dark prongs didn't kill consistently for me

[Zengar Zombolt]

Much better. Mission complete!

[Mеа]

Waaaait whaat? Why are there kalis in the pem, did they just not have any other place to stick them? Are they even inheritable?
