Heart Shield and Dragons Thread 32 - Some Festive Edition

[commandercool]

C10 EZ. I swear Laila didn't work as intended, I dropped her to just below 50% on turn one and she just attacked normally and didn't skill delay me, but I'll take it.

Almost forgot to do C2 somehow, just happened to notice the challenge dungeons didn't say "clear". Oops.

[hyorinryu]

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.

C9 kept pissing me off because I would keep skyfalling into the mech resolve, and dealing with multiple gravities into 12k pre-empt was annoying.

C10 I just cheesed with Neptune(thanks ccool.)

C8, I dunno, I just did random stuff on it. Think I had a close call on Geist though. Kinda mean of them to showcase Awoken Okuni and throw a guy with perseverance and a status shield.

I mean, kinda accurate though since he's going to have to deal with that a lot. And unlike, say, Sacchis he doesn't have the open space in his teams to really easily accommodate more utility actives.

They gave you Hades for a reason.

[Chaore]

It's still fairly mean to face alfonse.

Status Shield basically is your okuni team's entire 'stall' and survival button. And Alfonse shuts down half your board in the worst way for combo leads. ESPECIALLY okuni, who does not have a multiplier below 6 combo.

Like, This is not a favorable fight for okuni, sadly. Good thing he's fucking swole, that multiplier is almost good enough I'd play him because i'm used to six combo.

I'd have been happy if any of Satsuki/Z8/Persephone had been replaced by Haku or fuckin' Typhon. Whole board changes are more valuable than orbchangers for combo teams I feel, since the latter carries the risk of saturating the board specially if they change two colors like persephone. Do we even have a tricolor boardchange that makes hearts and is dark main, anyways?

[Jq1790]

WE(as in, non-JP regions) don't, but dark Sonia is such a creature.  She'd work pretty well for Okuni too since she's a TPA card.

Maybe she'll get the DAthena treatment and become an MP card later?

[Pesco]

Noctis is the baller TPA lead

Cecil is the only one I can think of

Day 2 of normal dungeon 0 stamina in JP.

I couldn't resist the temptation and finally put together a team where I can button push Legendary earth with one-side leader as ganesha.

Well, things are pretty crazy.

Burned all stam on rubydra
-> Proceed to rank up by doing like 20 legendary earth runs, getting like another hundred of metal dragons in the process
-> Burned all stam on farming golden keepers and rainbow keepers
-> Went back to legendary earth like 30 times to rank up
-> Burned all stam on farming tamadras
-> Back to legenda(ry

I max levelled so much stuff that I had lying around the box I don't even
Easily maxed level a 16m table red card.

I wonder how much revenue they loss due to lack of stoning for stam and what made them decide this was a good idea?

[Jq1790]

Ooh, I forgot about the metal/jewel dragon dailies and the new guerillas coming.  Lots of QoL improvements.

-Spirit Jewel Rush for three random jewels
-Awoken Materials Descended for getting the boss drops for Awoken monsters, labeled with the monster they evo.

[commandercool]

Dang, blue Tamazo seems really legit. We kind of already have Isis for ubindable inherit fodder, but Tamazo's stats and awakenings are different enough that I think both are merited. Will hypermax I guess.

He's bulky, he's rainbow-friendly, he'll be a great Kaworu-Kali sub if I'm lucky enough to pull him. And I don't know the breakdown on what is and isn't a good cross lead, but he might be approaching playable as a lead as well?

[Jq1790]

I dunno how I feel about him as a lead myself but I'll probably hyper him for a skill base to plop on things due to his nice HP totals.

Considering putting Indra on him for a bit once we get the change so I can try a thing, for example.

(man that Assist update is gonna be great)

[Mеа]

v9.6 maintenance up later today it seems? now I regret selling a lot of my extra tans

Yup!  Lots of improvements.  A shame about the Tans but we'lll get the infestation eventually again so you can grab more.

Revenue loss?

There was x4 EXP technicals last week, they made sick cash off of that with all the whales spamming Ganesha MHera and getting literally 800K EXP per run

[commandercool]

Oh my god so many free stones... I'm gonna be so set by the time Eva Collab comes back.

[Chaore]

[Hikarin]

Voltron announced for NA? Weird.

[Jq1790]

-only NA-, which is even weirder.

[Zengar Zombolt]

JP hard mode confirmed!!!

[commandercool]

Had a buddy who just started playing recently and loves Voltron blowing up my phone just now freaking out about this. He was like "Exclusive collabs are always super strong, right?".

I refrained from saying "Watch this be like, 6x for matching all colors with an orb enhance active and bad awakenings" or something. Gonna be reeeeally interesting to see how this plays out.

[OverlordChirei]

JP hard mode confirmed!!!

i find it ironic that they have these five mech bosses and everyone thought they were gonna form up to something big, and now we literally get to form up voltron before jp does

[Mеа]

I was wondering how they would pull in the ny rem, but yesterday was the chinese new year so that makes sense I guess. Not rolling though. I have all these stones and nothing good to spend them on.

[Jq1790]

Don't forget your free roll though in the mail, Mea!

In other news, Yo from the PADBT cards makes me soooo maaaad.  He's so close to being a great card.  SO CLOSE.  "Hey, let's make him have cool Awakenings, a neat active, a strong LS if you play well...and then make him blue and ask for Balanced cards."

(ノ?Д?）ノ︵ -┻━┻

if it makes you feel better he's pretty much never going to be used as a lead, only used either as a top sub or inheritance

[Jq1790]

No I know that.  That's the PROBLEM.  His LS numbers are lead-worthy for someone like me, just he's the wrong type/color combo to do anything with em.

I mean he'd still be a fun sub, don't get me wrong, and paired with B/G Karin I could get up to some hilarious dragon killer shenanigans, but the potential was there for him to be so much more if they woulda just made him physical.

Ah well, no use complaining over yet another error GH has made with card design.  Par for the course and such.  = D

I'm noticing a new animation doing Kephri with Reptune just now where sometimes some of my damage numbers enlarge and flash. I'm especially noticing it with some of my subattribute attacks. What is that?

Edit: Is it a new animation for God Killer?
