Heart Shield and Dragons Thread 32 - Some Festive Edition

[The Greatest Dog]

My luck continues to be good bit actually terrible.

-Aten: whyyyyyy

-Fenrir: Game stop.  Stoooooop.

wtf
I wanted both of those and all I got was Osiris, Balboa, and light Wee Jas

[commandercool]

Kind of should save for Eva but my luck has been pretty amazing lately so I feel like one pull makes sense.

-Freyr

Huh. Neat. Didn't have, would probably use at some point.

Hmm... Fine, another one then...

-Sylph

Okay okay enough enough!

[O4rfish]

Someone with an Aten test something please?  Go into 5x4 and activate Aten's active skill.  How many orbs of each type do you get?
The skill creates orbs of 7 different types, and the board only has 20 slots, so something gets shortchanged. Is it random?

Three tests(small sample but no time for more), all three times were 2 jams and 3 of everything else.

Edit: up to 8 trials, same results each time.

[Hikarin]

Rolled once, got Balboa
Had plenty of spare change so bought stones and rolled again, got Sumire.

I can be happy with this. Very happy.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

rolled two because whatever

>tsubaki
>fenrir viz

Ok

[The Greatest Dog]

>fenrir viz

Ok

Obligatory "we should jam together" post

[O4rfish]

Alt rolls.  The only things I really want are Ilm, Minerva, and Anima.
(own: GGY, Ishida Mitsunari, Leeza, Woodbahn, Sherias Roots)

Nim, Sherias, Fire Dragon Swordsman, Thor, Rozuel, Freyja
I guess that's fine.

FUUUUCK I just died to Zeus/Hera staying alive at 1% in the one-shot challenge after an extremely long grind to get that far.

Fuck this, I quit. I don't have time to do this again and I don't really want the reward. Too long, too grindy. I would've liked to have known if my strategy for Gaia Dragon was going to work but I have work tomorrow and I have other things to do.

Edit: Did a real quick run with Reptune just to see what would happen. Got to the boss in just a few minutes, but even with a 50% shield he STILL one-shotted me by a few (likes, in the tens) HP. And of course I didn't really have a plan for anything after that so I would've been fucked regardless, but still.

[Dr Rawr]

Did the one shot challenge and was able to one shot Zeusdragon with my rukia team feels good man

[Jq1790]

Free roll gets Mamiya.  Not bad, one of the few things I would keep from that collab happily. 

[commandercool]

AAAAAH SO CLOOOOSE!

[O4rfish]

Did you have to do very many devolutions to other branches?

[commandercool]

No. I did a few incidentally, but only one (that last one to get to 1500 just now) on purpose.

I have been evolving tons of stuff I'll probably never use, but that's probably not a bad thing. Means I have lots of options, and I'll need those to get the awakened skill badge. That one seems like it's gonna be a hell of a grind.

[Mеа]

How good of a myr sub is yuria? I see she's up in the mp store

[Dr Rawr]

That depends on how desperate you are for a Myr sub.

[Mеа]

That doesn't sound like too positive markings. not much really

[The Greatest Dog]

welcome to the jam

[Chaore]

i can't believe c9/c10 was easier than c8

by which i mean i can, because that c8 team while 'fair' was really bad actually

[hyorinryu]

I thought C9 was the hardest. Both C9 and C10 took a few tries, but I got C8 on the first attempt.

[Chaore]

I thought C9 was the hardest. Both C9 and C10 took a few tries, but I got C8 on the first attempt.

I got the exact opposite result.

C9 is a really piss-easy dungeon, honestly. Nothing is a threat until tengu. Who is swole, but gives you two turns to take care of him really. Three if played right.

C10 was harder, but honestly nothing you can't deal with if you're c10-worthy.

C8 was a piece of shit because apparently heartmakers aren't in vogue or something, because god knows one would've been handy with a fucking grav-> pre-emptive combo. It's more luck than actual difficulty, and you had the one answer to the most dangerous thing in the dungeon (the elephant), but no backup if something went wrong on the first three floors due to heart luck, or if the game fucks with your elephant kill board.

Gungho's team design is legitimately more difficult than any content it can throw at me, sadly.

[commandercool]

I STILL haven't done a significant chunk of them because I've been busy with other stuff. I did 1-5, 9, and that's it... I'll get them tomorrow and Sunday I guess.

So what the fuck with that 750k Athena? Sure would be nice if we had JP's assloads of free MP...

[Zengar Zombolt]

At least it's getting to the MP shop, she was originally available only through Radar via physical merch. So I guess there's a lot to save for! :v

[commandercool]

So what is "Super Ruby Dragon Rush" from the Ras mission rewards anyway? Unless it's like a five-stamina dungeon that drops five super kings or something it's a pretty lame reward.

In fact, even if it is that it's a lame reward compared to the bunch of max-level, ready-to-use snowglobes I've gotten used to from these things.

It's 10 stamina for 10 super kings, so you were close. The important thing is, I hear it also gives a stone?

[OverlordChirei]

Clearing both Super Ruby Rushes and both versions of Ras will net you 4 stones in total, so yes.

[commandercool]

Oh wow, that actually is really good.

They only gave globes when you had to use globes.  Since we've cycled all five that won't be occurring again probably.

[commandercool]

Well I was gonna come in here and post that C8 is the most RNG horseshit dungeon I've ever seen, but I was thinking Aflecca had 50% resolve for some reason and he, uh... Does not. NEVER MIND!

Not that there isn't a bunch of RNG, but it's more manageable than I was thinking.

Now I've got all day, a close-to-full stamina bar, and an impending rank up to clear C10. Should be good to go.

[Jq1790]

Yeah, Alfecca is why you get Hades.  Exactly enough gravity to dispel the resolve shield.

No heartmaking makes me angry though, but I guess you are intended to OHKO each floor unless you get heart trolled vs the flame Keeper.
