Puzzle & Dragons

[Aisha]

guigui will be pleased to learn that Red Odin will be receiving an ultimate in the future. No details yet.

Tons of new info revealed at today's GungHo Festival: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=322

And in the more pedestrian version of the game, there's less than an hour to go until the PCGF. I'll only have enough for 4 -- maybe 5 -- pulls. I haven't decided if I want to buy more.

EDIT: 1 pull was good: Venus. I wanted her for my Kali team. The other three pulls were complete shit: Woodbahn, Machine Golem, Siren.

[cave hermit]

Well I was just about to start rolling, but for some reason the game isn't acknowledging my first log-in of the day; the news didn't come up automatically, I didn't get a bonus, and I didn't get the daily magic stone mail which is still ongoing. Before I roll I want to fix this somehow...

[cave hermit]

GODFEST MY ASSHOLE.

I had 25 magic stones. I got

Little red riding hood
Dark wizard Sirius
Another Little red riding hood
A red toy dragon
A dark golem.


Fuck this game.

[Geist]

This has to be the best Godfest of all times:!:

8 Rolls, and only winners!!!

Fuma
Fairlio
Sleeping Beauty
Radious
Guivre Chimera
Dark Courier Kurone
Kurone
Machine Golem MK III

Got 3 more rolls, but, you know, it is best to stop when you are on top!

[guigui]

Yes, this Godfest is shit for now. Two rolls gave two star eggs. Your rolls are the worst though.
I suggest rolling again tomorrow.

[BrianC]

I don't have that many gems, but I got a bonus 5 gems for a 30 day login, so I rolled and got sleeping beauty. Still have 5 gems left, but I'm saving them.

[cave hermit]

Yeah, I think I'm going to be taking another break from this game. I might play it if I'm on the road and have nothing else, but other than that I'm sick of this game's shit.

I will still be logging in daily for the bonuses when I inevitably come crawling back to rest in Gung-Ho's strong muscular arms, and for the sake of anybody on my friend's list.

Speaking of which, if anybody has any particular requests for leaders, I have
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Attacker Amaterasu | (Fully awakened), | Level 59 [Will be left up as my default]

-Red Guan Yu | (Evolved and max skilled), | Level 18

-Heavenly Guide Suzaku Leilan | (not ult evolved, +72 with 4 awakenings, skill level 2), | Level 89

-Sea deity Neptune | (not ult evolved), | Level 27

-Sun Quan | (first evo stage) | Level 43

-Love Deity Feline Bastet | (not ult evolved), | Level 48

-Lightning Archdemon Baal | (not ult evolved, 2 awakenings) | Level 55

-Archangel Metatron | (first evo stage) | Level 34

-Chaotic Flying General Lu Bu | (ult evolved) | Level 17
---------------------------------------------------
So just let me know if you need one up in particular.

...You know maybe I should be grateful for what I already have.

...Fuck that, I spent 25 magic stones on the biggest godfest of the year and got jack shit. Thank god I didn't actually pay for those stones.

[guigui]

I did actually pay for those stones, 60 in all. It is hard to resist IAP when you have started, I am weak am feel a little ashamed. Anyway, here is what I got :
1) Pierdra (star)
2) Mermaid (star)
3) Basilisk (silver)
4) Venus (Gold, PCGF)
5) Durga (Gold, PCGF
6) Verdandi (Gold, PCGF)
7) Gamble Mage (silver)
8 ) Lu Bu (Gold PCGF)
9) GrimRock (Silver)
10) Thanatos (Silver)
11) Phoenix Knight Homura (Gold)
12) Red Sky Fruit, Strawberry Dragon (Gold)
13) Ancient Dragon Knight (Gold)
14) Kushinadahime (Gold PCGF)
15) Cursed Dragon (Gold)

That is 5 out of 16 Player's Choice Godeft eggs, which is not that good I think. Also note that the cards not from the PGCF are bad, aren't they ?
At the end I'm not happy, but will keep playing with what I have. I also thank Necro for his advice to expand my box size, this indeed feels like I got something out of my money...

Now to form a Lu Bu (I have 2) - Red Sonia team, and TPA Verdandi (I have 2!) team.

[Geist]

Your rolls could have been better too, but Kush, Verdandi, Lu Bu and Durga are solid leaders, IMO.

One FINAL roll today gave me a "Toytops".

Hate the RNG so much right now!

No reason to feel ashamed. Like I said, think of it as paying the purchase price for any other game. Now, about your rolls, it seems to me you had pretty average luck. Certainly some trash, but that is basically unavoidable. All of the featured gods you rolled are excellent. Venus is an absolute beast with her new ultimate. Kushinadahime is a very high tier sub or lead. Lu Bu is an insanely good lead who can tackle some of the most difficult content in the game when paired with Beelzebub or Red Sonia. Durga has a new ultimate coming that will make her probably the most accessible 5x lead to date. And of course, Verdandi can serve many purposes as well.

Try not to get too bummed out on trash rolls from the REM. It happens more often than not to everyone, which is what makes high-tier REM-only cards so desirable. Be stoked on the ones you have! You will accumulate more stones and roll the REM many more times on many more godfests provided you continue to play the game, and you will continue to fill out your ranks. Rolling too many good gods all at once can sometimes be just as much as much of a buzz kill as rolling too few because you wind up feeling totally overwhelmed by new projects to invest in and not enough stamina/resources to do so (I learned this the hard/expensive way).

[cave hermit]

You know, I decided maybe I would give the game another chance, grind a few more tech dungeons on challenge mode to get some more stones and try another godfest roll.


You know what I got?



A grimrock.

[BrianC]

Me Grimrock no like insult! Me Grimrock am King!

[cave hermit]

Ok, I'm done sitting around being butthurt and feeling bad for myself!

I'm going to take the monsters I have already and make them work!

Since I still can't get my hands on an angelit to improve my Leilan or Amaterasu team (or to start my healer team), and I can't get a green mystic tier mask to start my bastet team, I'm going to start working on my devil team, and make it a priority to be able to take on twinlits with it eventually:

I have my recently acquired Lu Bu, already ult evolved to chaotic flying general, and I just max leveled it with a snow globe dragon I fed some unevolved pengdras to.

The rest of my devil team consists of chibi lu bu, king baddie, Archdemon baal, and Nanto Seiken Master Shin. Right now I'm trying to find dark element devil monsters to replace those last two monsters so I can focus all my attack output on one element. I'm currently planning to work on leveling my vampire and ult evolving it (still not sure whether to go with the standard dark primary evo, or the physical water primary evo; I could use the extra hp boost from the physical evo, but the fact that dark becomes its secondary will hurt my attack output quite a bit, and the physical form will cost me another of my precious devilits). Other than that I might try and farm for a dark healer girl to fill up that last team slot.

edit: just realized one of the monsters I rolled instead of an actual players choice god (Dark Wizard Dill Sirius) was also a devil, so that works! I guess I'll put it in place of chibi lu bu.

[guigui]

Hey hermit, glad to see you still on the go !
May I give some modest advices for you ?
- do NOT farm challenge technicals for stones when Godfest is coming, that only gives GrimRock, doesn't it ?
- focus on clearing normal and technical dungeons, this gives stones and unlock nice dungeons where you can farm good stuff : mystic mask in Ocean of Heaven for instance.
- go for that devil team ! Having Lu Bu, Dark Wizard and Vampire is good. I actually farm for Vampire right now. Also note that the dark healer girl is easier to get in some high level technical dungeon, namely Shining Island : http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/mission.asp?m=820


Also, thanks to Necro for the good words and soothing my soul about spending $45 for stones. Now I do have that overwhelming feeling where I dont know what to do with all my stuff. I think I'll focus on building a Devil Team, why not :
Lu Bu / Lu Bu / Hadar / Vampire (farming for it right now) / Chaos Devil Dragon / Red Sonia
I can see why double Lu Bu is good : two spike turns damage. But I cant find other farmable orb changers than Vampire and Chaos Dragon right now ; wish I had gotten my own Sonia during the Godfest...


Also heading to a Verdandi brainless TPA team :
Verdandi / Verdandi / Artemis / Canopus / Wolf Hero Cu Chulain / Verdandi
Not sure if I must put Canopus or Athena though, Athena has 2 TPA but is light main attribute...

Any advice concerning my box will be taken

[cave hermit]

I'm under the impression that legendary dragons footprints has a pretty high drop rate for healer girls, so I'm trying to farm for a succubus there. Any better dungeons for farming her?

[guigui]

Sky Dragons' Domain is the dungeon unlocked right after Lengendary Dragon's Footprint, I'm fairly sure it has better drop rate since I had 2 healer girls drop there when I cleared it, no farming at all.
Also, it has no RCV orbs, which allows for better comboing ; dont get hit though.

[Jon]

Yep, the 9th level of Twilight in the Sky has two Liliths which seem to have a higher drop rate than her previous appearances. I am pretty sure the drop rate increases even further on weekends.

Finally, some new ultimate evolutions I can take part in. I recently popped a snow globe dragon on my Dark Kali and maxed her level thanks to finally receiving a "GREAT" bonus on something other than Pengdras and other low level trash. I can't wait for her new ultimate to make it to our servers. It looks like my Ganesha might finally serve a purpose outside of the weekend dungeon too.


I bounced back for PCGF after pretty much getting shut out last time around for Three Kingdoms/Egyptian 2.0. I had five rolls:

DQXQ - I only have the chibi version and their new ultimate evo's are pretty interesting. Too bad the preferable one requires yet another Angelit.
Drall
Red Sonia #2 - I just managed to ult-evo my first Ronia by running Challenge of a Lifetime until Haku showed up and nabbing my much needed Dark Orb. Having a second on as a sub under her certainly doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Sun Quan #2 - Well, at least I can pull the trigger on his B/L evo rather continue holding out for that second Blue Dragon Fruit.
Kagutsuchi - Pretty happy to have this after witnessing the might of Necro's awoken Hino, even if that version is a bit out of reach for me.

[Vexorg]

I did three rolls this Godfest, ended up with three golds, but nothing particularly useful. To be honest, at this point there are only a few particular monsters I'd even find use for (the main ones being Blue Odin and Kushinada.) I still haven't figured out what to do about my broken main account, but at this point I can probably stick to one account and call it good (at least the account I still have is the one with my +297 Ronia and ROdin.)

[Aisha]

Speaking of Kagutsuchi, here's a video of him putting out 548 million damage. (This guy is one of the best known players...)

If you can't get past the title screen, then you could try the data recovery option. It shouldn't touch the files that link your device to your account, but it wouldn't hurt to make copies of data48.bin and data56.bin. I had this problem a few months back and a data re-download fixed it for me, although I didn't use the data recovery option -- I contacted GungHo support and I think they forced it from their end (despite replying with a completely useless canned response).

If you're on a rooted Android Lolipop device and you can't even get to the title screen, then the game's root detection is likely being tripped.

[cave hermit]

Got the Succubus to drop from Legendary dragon footprints!

Now once I level up my vampire, succubus, and dark wizard, and get a few dublits from the friday dungeon I should(?) be set!

[Necronopticous]

So it looks like we're finally getting the Best Friend system. I implore you all to choose me! I'll be the best best friend anyone could ever ask for. Oh, and I have lots of hypermaxed leaders. ;D

[Aisha]

I'm most excited about being able to skip through the Completion Rewards screen. Sub-types and sub-attributes counting towards dungeon restrictions is pretty nice, too.

Aim for a 5 Mechdragon Combo, Demon Hadar. Mechdragons' Fortress can be difficult and he requires a Keeper of Gold, so he's not exactly easy to get, but he's one of the best subs for a dark Sonia-based team that you can farm. These teams need a lot of Enhanced Dark Attribute awakenings. A team like Lu Bu - Hadar - D/L Lilith - Vampire - Dill Sirius - Sonia will give you 5, which is pretty decent.

[cave hermit]

I don't have access to Angelits (which is why I'm focusing on my devil team, since I can't advance my other teams further without one), so I can't get D/L Lilith, and I'll have to settle for D/D (tee hee) lilith, which unfortunately doesn't have the dark enhance awakening. I do however have 3 keeper of golds from evo carnivals, so if (and that's a big if) I can get to (and through) the mechdragon's fortress I could possibly get hardar.

[Necronopticous]

I finally finished off the Devil Challenges. Fuck that last Devil Rush stage, ugh.

[guigui]

I finally finished off the Devil Challenges. Fuck that last Devil Rush stage, ugh.

This kind of sentence scares me. And of course, I want to ask you as Best Friend. However, we are so far away in rank that I cant see you for very long when you connect...

For Cave Hermit, I second the idea of farming for 5 mechdragon combo Hadar. Dont forget to farm for 5 dark dragons before evolving and fuse 4 in the 5th, this will fully awoken the evolution, not TAMADRAS needed.

I'm also currently building a devil team, aiming to :
Lu Bu / Lu Bu / Hadar / Lilith / Vampire / ? / Red Sonia.
Thought about Chaos Devil Dragon to fill the ?, but not sure this is the best farmable choice.

Rank doesn't matter. Your BFF's monsters will be available for 24 hours after they last logged in, and you can use them as many times as you like within that time frame. Both of you also get 100 Pal points instead of the usual 10. The catch is that you're literally selecting a best friend forever; it's permanent, so you have to choose wisely. On very special occasions in JP, GungHo allows players to select another best friend, but it remains to be seen if that generosity will extend to other regions.

As for your devil team, it's actually full there. I think it's fine the way it is: Lu Bu - Lu Bu - D/L Lilith - Hadar - D/B Vampire - Red Sonia. If you want to boost your damage just a little bit more, evolve your Basilisk into a Wooden Dark Tiamat and replace the Vampire with it; it's a devil with two Enhanced Dark Attribute Awakenings. I think you're better off with the Vampire though because he has high RCV, and you need that in a team with Hadar and two Lu Bu.

[guigui]

Nice about best friend visible for 24 hours.
Also for that devil team, you're right, I actually cannot count to 4. Now to evolve vampire and give some XP to Lilith.

[Geist]

I lost a bit of focus and tinkered with too many different leaders/teams in the past....

Please, help me create a devil team to beat Friday Mythical/Tuesday Mythical (if possible).

  Loki, lv. 32, (either Uvo possible anytime)
  Jester Dragon Drawn Joker, lv. 35, max skill
  Witch of the Night, Lilith, lv. 20, max skill (Moonbeam Uvo possible, if absolutely necessary)

[Necronopticous]

I am the king of best friends.

Thursday is just a matter of killing before being killed. You don't need to heal so feel free to lead with Satan; something like Satan - Sonia - Vampire - X - D/D Loki - ultimate Lu Bu might work if all the devils are max-awoken. I recommend that the X is a max-skilled Echidna.

As for Friday, I don't think you can reliably do it with the pieces you listed. The trouble spots are Floors 2 and 3. You either need to kill them with actives that bypass defense (Lilith, Darkseid, Ra, etc) or delay them and combo them down. The problem is having enough Skill Boosts on your team so that your solution for Floor 2 is ready to go. For example, you can sweep Floor 1 and you're guaranteed one safe turn of stalling on Floor 2, so you'd need 8 Skill Boosts to have your max-skilled Lilith ready by then. An alternate strategy is to leave all but one Mythlit alive on Floor 1, which is tricky, and stall until all of your skills are ready. But for this to work, you need one card on your team that can't be bound and can clear binds, like light Metatron. These kinds of cards don't typically gel well with devils, so you might not have enough firepower for the boss.
