Puzzle & Dragons

[Aisha]

Right now Poring Tower is active and you can pick up a few Ghostrings. Expert or Master difficulties are recommended for this. Ghostrings are actually very shitty cards, but their active skill inflicts poison, which deals damage equal to 1x their ATK every turn you make a match and bypasses defense. If you're struggling with high-defense enemies like masks, dublits, and metal dragons, then it might be useful to have a few of these on hand.

Also, ultimate-evolved ogres can be used to one-shot super king dragons of the RGB variety. You just have to make sure that the ogre's active skill actually works against the color of the dragons you'll be facing.

Just rolled 4 times on the Egyptian 1 / Chinese EU GodFest:

1. Leilan
2. Ur-Chimera
3. Baal
4. Water Dragon Swordsman

Wish I'd stopped after the first pull.... but I got almost all the cards from the 3K PEM machine on my main account.
Now I have only 5 stones left for GodFest part 2 with Egyptian 2 and Japanese gods tomorrow...

This game is so troll....

Two questions:

1) Is chibi Da Qiao & Xiao Qiao a viable end-game leader?

2) Will +egg attributes (HP, ATK, RCV) automatically carry over to the next attribute if one has reached +99?

(Exampe: Red Sonia with +99 ATK, what would happen if I fed her another +ATK egg/card?)

[dunpeal2064]

Finally evolved my Naga! And in my one PEM pull, I got a Fire Keeper, one of the cards I need to Evolve Echidna!

Now to try to get a good enough team to get further in, so I can start actually getting the other cards I need to evolve her. I'm barely scraping through the tier 3 elemental dungeons in Normal

Edit: Woo, Godfest! And a special free card that actually looks pretty decent, and is just badass.

[guigui]

Good tip about those Ghostring. I feel like 1x ATK poison damage is not that high when it only has 400 attack. I mean it would take about 2000 turns to kill a rainbow keeper :/

I have the same question as Geist :

2) Will +egg attributes (HP, ATK, RCV) automatically carry over to the next attribute if one has reached +99?

Also, it seems like Godfest roll is always good the first time (i.e. gives a god) and kind of meh the following times. See Geist post and my previous ones :

Godfest :
Roll 1 : Nephthys
Roll 2-3-4 : Undine-Genius-Genius

Godfest :
Roll 1 : Blue odin
Roll 2 : Dryad
Roll 3 : Ur-chimera

[cave hermit]

Godfest rolls seem completely random for me: when I first started playing, there was a godfest going on, and I got red guan Yu on my 3rd roll.
Last godfest I rolled 3 times and didn't get a god at all.
I only have enough stones for one roll this godfest (gotta wait for the daily mail stone tomorrow), so hopefully I'll get something good this time...

[guigui]

I wish you luck. No stones for me this time, I spent them all to increase box size.

[Cagar]

Ok so the godfest says PART 1, does that mean that there will be another one right after this ends? (which is in 2 hours)

[Aisha]

Yeah, it seems EU is having back-to-back Godfests. The second one starts at 12:00 AM UTC.

Good tip about those Ghostring. I feel like 1x ATK poison damage is not that high when it only has 400 attack. I mean it would take about 2000 turns to kill a rainbow keeper :/

Ghostrings are only useful against enemies with high defense and low HP if you have no better way of dealing with them. 400 damage is plenty for those. For Rainbow Keepers you actually have to kill them outright 1or grind them down with a resolve team while watching a movie or something.

+Eggs don't carry over to the next attribute. If you feed an ATK +Egg to something that already has +99 ATK, that feed will be wasted.

The REM (and this game in general) reads your mind to figure out what you want most and doesn't give it to you. Outside of that it's pretty random. During the last Godfest I pulled twice and got two silvers. The estimated probability of gold eggs during a Godfest is about 30%, I've read.

[cave hermit]

Well I managed to clear another tech dungeon so I wouldn't have to wait until tomorrow to try my luck at the godfest.

I rolled a dark golem.

It doesn't even have an ultimate evolution.

[cave hermit]

Well I got 5 free stones today for playing 30 days, so I got another chance for this godfest.

I got a mystic light knight.
At least it isn't a golem.

Actually the evolutions seem good, but my current team is primarily light dark monodevil, so the orb change is pointless on that team.

My other future team will be my red Guan Yu leading a rag tag team of random dragons (whatever fairlion evolves to, ripper dragons, etc.). So maybe if I have more light dragons this will be useful, especially given that guan yu's leader skill also affects balanced types.

[Vexorg]

They don't call these things GolemFests for nothing, it seems. Believe me, I got my fair share of junk out of the REM before I managed to put together some decent teams.

I took full advantage of Poring Tower, maxing out both the Green Valk on my main (who will be sending Cu Chu to an early retirement on my GZL team now) and the Chibi Valk on my alt for my LMeta team. I also managed to max out a Lilith and a Siegfried on both accounts in the process as well. Took a couple stones on each account to do it, but all in all not bad.

[Aisha]

I'm debating on throwing stones at Poring Tower in the last hour in hopes that I can get the last two skill-ups on my light Valkyrie. I'd really like to have her done for the Athena team I'm putting together (Athena/Light Valkyrie/Meimei/Verche/Izanagi). In the meantime I managed to finish off my red Valkyrie and Poison Ivy (Lilith was done long ago), and get my Cu Chulainn's skill up to max from level 1. I have a bunch of blue drops taking up space now, so maybe I can max a Siegfried once I find the motivation to farm one up.

[Necronopticous]

I'm working on getting through what I can of the current round of challenge dungeons on natural stamina. I just beat Demonic Fire Queen this morning, so just Yomi Goddess and Ocean God to go. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to swing the last two Legend Plus tier dungeons with no continues.

[cave hermit]

I haven't really played at all today, but I did clear castle of satan in the abyss before I had to study, so I'll have a reliable source of stones for a few pulls next godfest

[cave hermit]

I just attempted the rainbow keeper dungeon with my guan yu team and somebody's awakened Odin, and I successfully beat it and got rainbow keeper to drop!
Apparently his normal drop rate is 40% ( 0_0 ) but there was a 2 times drop rate event going on so I was good.
With the rainbow keeper I evolved my marine rider, but now I'm not sure what to actually use it for :/

It has a devil subtype now and could go on my shin team, but now that I can use Guan Yu, that team isn't as useful as it used to be.

The only other monster I would need a rainbow keeper for is Guan Yu actually, but I would also need a rainbow dublet, not to mention actually evolving it would raise his team cost by 20 (I barely have enough points to have a full team with some low end dragons and Knights as it is right now), so for the time being I won't need another rainbow keeper.

[Jon]

Congrats on your rainbow keeper cave hermit. I had no idea his drop wasn't guaranteed. I guess I got lucky the two times I have beat him. I can only assume the awakened Odin you brought was of the green variety? A fully awakened and evolved Grodin helper has been critical in helping me break through some of the tougher walls I have hit in this game. It's a shame I only have one friend that runs him regularly.

On a related note, I completely feel your pain when it comes to team cost woes. I have a Dark Kali that is ready for evolution but her current cost of 40 makes her unusable as is. Evolving her would drive her cost up to a whopping 60 points!

[guigui]

Yes, team cost is a pain. I do farm weekend dungeon master for a lot of money and XP.

[cave hermit]

I decided to run rainbow keeper a second time while I could take advantage of the 2 times drop rate.

I really want the zombie dragon, but I can't take Guan Yu into it since the dungeon only allows pure dragon types (the God subtype disqualifies him). Even if I could, the second floor has 3 enemies with ridiculous defense that all attack simultaneously for 4000 or so damage after just one turn

[cave hermit]

The mini 3k egg machine is out in America now! I had 5 rolls saved up, and I got:

caocao
sun quan
liu bei
da qiao and xiao qiao
lu bu

Kind of disappointed I didn't get zhuge liang or guan yu (even though I have an actual Guan Yu), but I got every other available chibi!

Gotta figure out how to use them later...

[Necronopticous]

I got lu bu, dqxq, and sun quan so far.

[Aisha]

Did 12 pulls and managed to get every 3K mini except red guan yu and light zhuge liang. I guess those are the rare ones. I'm not sure what to do with the ones I pulled: their cost is too high for low-cost teams and their awakenings are terrible.

I'd sure love a real Sun Quan or Liu Bei.

[Necronopticous]

Holy frijole! How long did you save up for 12k pal points?!

[Aisha]

Not sure exactly, but probably two or three months. I kept pulling junk from the regular PEM so I decided to just save my PAL points in case the 3K machine came to other regions. 2000 PAL points from Challenge Descended! 1 and a few thousand from some of the NA live streams also helped.

I might start saving up again because JP had a special PAL machine that only gave out rare evolution materials for 500 points per pull, and I could really use spirit jewels. Although I get the feeling that the odds that other regions will get a go at it are pretty slim.

[guigui]

Damned frijole !
I DID spend my 9600 Pal Points in the PEM on the day right before that event took place.
I still could roll once and got Liu Bei. Now what exactly is the difference between mini monster and normal monster ?

[Jon]

As far as I can tell, their awakenings aren't nearly as good as the normal version and they lack ultimate evo's.

I had five rolls saved up and ended up with the exact same results as cave hermit. Was hoping for life dragon, zhuge liang but at least I didn't pull any dupes.

[cave hermit]

I just ran the dub-lit dungeon today using a zombie team for the first time (very basic one: a samurai ogre, two red demon masks, 2 dragon seeds, and a friend with rondo of healing), and aside from some tense moments where I almost failed to kill one of two dublits attacking simultaneously, it went great! However I didn't get the dublits I needed for my fairlio, instead getting 2 dark dublits, a fire dublit, and a water dublit after both runs. I guess I can use the 2 extra dark dublits (I already had one from the pal machine which I plan to use on Guan Yu when I can handle the added team cost) to evolve chibi lu bu sometime, but I'm not sure what I can use the water/fire dublits for.

I need a light dublit and a rainbow dublit to evolve my fairlion.

I actually had to spend 3 stones on expansions to hold the pengdras from yesterday, but hey, at least that's a solid investment unlike spending 5 stones to roll a golem :p

I also rolled the 3k chibi machine again today, and got another cao cao.
Really want the chibi life dragon so I can get some use out of the marine rider I rolled...

edit: actually if I can roll a red dragon fruit from the pal machine I'll be able to ult evolve my crystal aurora (blue ripper) dragon, although all that does is add more health and a fire sub element, not to mention it more than doubles the team cost (from 15 to 35!). So for the time being I won't be ult evolving it.

[guigui]

I also ran dub-lit dungeon a couple of times. I cant find friends who run autohealer though.
But no problem, the dual attributes of the hybrid ogres are so strong against dublit that they are enough, along with echidna to delay critic attacks.

Why not share codes ? I have an almost fully evolved alraune to autoheal and tons of ogres to resolve. My code : 318 151 325

Also, quick question, when some leader skill says "3x ATK" without precising for who, does that apply to the whole team, or only to that monster ?
See haku http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=1790 for instance

[Jon]

Yellow dub-lit drops just dont want to happen for me.

See haku http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=1790 for instance

In haku's case I am pretty sure the multiplier only applies to the fire, water, and dark monsters that participated in the attack. There are leader skills that are dependent on health level that affect the whole team like Baal (2.5x Atk when HP is over 50%)

Friend request sent, guigui.

[guigui]

Thanks for the answer, some description are not that clear.

Ok for the friend request, also I do have 11 yellow dub-lit sitting in my box, and not any use for them. Gungho should definitely not allow monster exchange between players, that would kill the game.

Entire team! No restrictions. Get in there!
