Congrats! What team did you use?

On the NA live stream wrapping up right now, they just mentioned that Star Vault will be added as a coin dungeon for the duration of the second half of this event. This might be very unhealthy for Necro. :lol:

I used Lu Bu, Red Sonia, Ebon Sorcerer, Attacker Amaterasu,, Lilith (standard, non-attacker form), and a friend's ult evolved Red Sonia.

I took Guigui's advice from a few pages ago, and I stalled the first floor until Amaterasu's full health/complete bind remove active was ready. By that point all the other active skills were ready as well, so I used my own Red Sonia to clear the second floor, poison to clear the third floor, then one hit killed the twinlits with the other red sonia active and my Lu Bu spike.

This is actually unrelated to me clearing the Twinlits, but after I get another rainbow keeper tuesday I'm planning on reverting my Lilith, and then ult evolving it to its attacker form using the 2 angelits I got from the PEM for the extra dark row enhance.

I pulled a bunch of times.

The Norn Urd
Indra
Cao Cao
Liu Bei (second one)
Shiva (third one)
Lu Bu (third one)

The gold-to-silver ratio was abysmal, but I actually wanted Indra, Cao Cao, and another Liu Bei, so I can't complain. The only cards I wanted but missed are Parvati and dark Kali.

Indra reduces damage by 75% for 3 turns, which will be very useful for my light Kali team. I can't use him right away though because I use dark Izanami, who also provides damage reduction. I would need to replace her with another dark sub, which is why I want dark Kali so much.

Liu Bei can be added to my Verdandi team. Once Vishnu's ultimate comes to NA, I'll have three Attacker cards with 3 TPAs each: Verdandi - Liu Bei - Liu Bei - Vishnu - GZL - Verdandi. Although in practice I will probably sub one Liu Bei out for Awoken Ceres or Kushinadahime, depending on the dungeon.

Finally Cao Cao and Urd allow me to make the perfect Awoken Shiva team:
Awoken Shiva - F/G Cao Cao - Urd - Awoken Hinokagutsuchi - Phoenix Goddess, Valkyrie Femme - Awoken Shiva

My 3 final rolls, Cinderlla, Archangel Metatron and Uriel, this is certainly unexpected, I unfortunately don't have enough cost to put Uriel in my Urd/Sai/Dino Rider/Blazing Ice Ogre team yet (I lack 16 cost to pull it off). I think that's it for me till the next Godfest.

wow, this thread - so busy :shock: :)

With only 1 pull left (and a strong will not to IAP) I decided to go for the Egyptian 1/2 GF late last night:

Was hoping for him or a Bastet. You should have seen me dancing! :D

Nice pulls Aisha what was your ratio 1:3 or 1:4, or worse?

:arrow: BTW, my IAP count is still < €35,- 8)

To all new Urd owners: Urd is love, Urd is life :!:

Here is my Urd team which I am very happy with:

Actually I have too many cards that need attention right now. So feel free to borrow him for a month or two. <3

Seriously, the max-skill mania and constant +egg hunt is real. Gadius, Uvo Beelze, Liu Bei, Hades, Karin and Horus still need lots of XP and a boatload of Tamadras....

I went 6/17 golds. It was really bad, especially considering two golds were useless dupes. I've had better Godfests. I'm just glad that I got 3 targeted pulls and Urd icing the cake, because I'd be pretty bummed out otherwise.

I guess I could make an Urd team now too, but I'm just overwhelmed by other teams that I'm working on at the moment. I wish they'd hand out Snowglobe dragons more frequently because it takes forever to get teams to max level.

The game is correct. PDX just hasn't updated properly. Only Ocean God and Moonlight Princess have the 'Awoken Skills Invalid' restriction.

Now, I am overwhelmed and need you veterans help. Im not sure which direction to take in priority.

My main teams
- Verdandi / Verdandi / GZL / GZL / Flex. Farms everything.
- ABastet / Verdandi / Verdandi /GZL / GZL. Clears descends, when I dont mess up with orbs.
- Lu Bu / Hadar / Vampire / Sleeping Beauty / Ronia. Farms King of the Gods.
- Cao cao chibi / Rodin / Rodin / Laila / Freyr. No real use since ABastet is here.

A bunch of good REM only cards are just sitting in my box, namely
- Yamato Takeru
- Shiva
- Minerva
- Blue Odin, would really like to use this one.
- Ninja Hatsume
- Sun Quan
- Knight Muse
- Famiel
- Lakshmi
- Kushinadahime
- Artemis
- Green Odin
- Ariel
- Venus
- LMeta
- DQ
- Fuu
- Fuma Kotaro
- Nephthys
- Durga
- Zuoh
- Yomi
- Goetia
- Anubis
- Complete box here https://www.padherder.com/user/guigui-l ... ;default,0

An overwhelming bunch, I told you.
Now Id like to clear harder contents such as Challenge 8, Yamato Challenge 4 (no awakenings), Zeus Vulcan, etc...
Which team would you guys aim to ? Where would you start ?

@guigui: If I were you I'd start focusing on red. You've got some amazing teams in there between Minerva, Shiva, Yamato, Rodin, etc. Building up those cards will allow you to build multiple teams with the same cards in different configurations. For example, sometimes Awoken Minerva can be an absolute beast of a lead in a high level challenge or descend if you're dealing with primarily light & dark enemies (quite common) since you're taking 25% damage potentially the entire time. Take Izanami's dungeon, for example--a tough descend absolutely trivialized with dual Minerva. Put Yamato up front and Minerva becomes a top-tier sub. Awoken Shiva is an absolute powerhouse, and may be a little easier for you to play consistently compared to Bastet.

Alright, who rolled Summer Fun Pandora?

Gift from the holy beasts is back; I plan to spend my stamina on nothing but Holy Beasts until I get the green spirit jewel celestial to spawn. No luck so far.

Once I get her to spawn though, I'm willing to stone if necessary to get the drop. Once I do so I'll just need one more mythical green mask for Awoken Bastet (although I'll have to level and evolve the descend bosses first).

Also after maintenance on Friday, North America gets the rank 150 guaranteed God machine! I don't care what I get as long as it's not a dupe of something I have (Prediction: the game will give me a Grimcrystal. Which is still a dupe.).

I would also like the summer edition Pandora very badly. Probably won't happen though. I only have 2 stones, and there are no more daily stones so I don't know if I'll even have enough for a courtesy roll.

^^^You shouldn't even need to consider stoning holy beasts as long as you mind the <20% health threshold. Bring an Echidna to be extra cautious.

I guess I got lucky running challenge of a lifetime. I only entered twice before I got the Kirin spawn I was looking for. Now I just need one more Keeper of Gold an Awoken Ra will be mine. 8) I guess Tuesday's mythical is pretty difficult, yes?

I would only need to find a few dungeons in team challenge mode for the extra stone I need for a summer REM roll but I am in no hurry. The inevitable disappointment can wait.

Finally, a bit late on this but my results from the recent God Fest were:

Delgado
Fairlio
Phoenix Rider
Rei Sirius
Bastet - this is the first time I actually pulled something that was my primary goal in a particular GF. I have wanted kitty girl forever now. Cannot wait to get her, Isis and Ra all awoken. Horus is waiting!

Tuesday Mythical isn't too bad, but I guess it depends on which teams you have available to use.

I need a Jewel of Wood from Gift from the Holy Beasts. Awoken Bastet and Awoken Meimei demand four of them. So far I've encountered Sakuya once and Leilan twice. EDIT: Fourth try was a Meimei. Glad that's over with.

Anyway I went into Vacation - Super Sunny in PAD Island with my Verdandi team thinking it would be easy because I had the elemental advantage. In reality, it was actually tricky exactly because of that. Everything died too quickly and since the team doesn't have any skill-ups yet, I often found myself facing the three bosses at the end without my actives ready. It was really a stark reminder of just how important skill-ups are. +Eggs too; as it turns out, running a team with a bunch of Attackers that naturally have piss-poor RCV just makes everything harder.

Hit day 200 today, so I was given 10 free stones; I immediately rolled the summer REM twice.

Got a shit chibi (chibi genbu) and an OK chibi (chibi awoken dancing queen hera-ur).

I'd like to roll at least one more time...

Regarding gift of the holy beasts, I have now encountered every celestial EXCEPT for the one I need.

I only cleared Takeminakata and Yomi. I feel like I could do the other three if my Kali team were leveled. It's too bad because I'd really like to get that Jewel of Wood from Kaguya.

Ugh, if there was ever a dungeon to demonstrate the downsides of skyfall its the Tuesday mythical. I really don't think my healer team would have much trouble if I didn't keep triggering an orb cascade when the keepers were on a one turn counter and sending their HP under 20%.

I had better luck earlier in the day running the Noah descend with the same healer team. It took two tries but I did get her drop and now have all the necessary base materials for Awoken Lakshmi. She is still a long ways off though seeing as how I need Siegfried's superior ultimate which not only needs tons of experience but another Keeper of Gold as well. :(

Just spent 2 angelits to re ult-evolve my Lilith to her attacker form; the dark row enhance and time extension should give my devil team a fair boost, and the skill bind resist should help me with wednesday mythical.

Just cleared Wednesday mythical for the first time!
However, it wasn't like there was a guarantee that I would get the green mask; the blue mask dropped instead.

Looks like I'm going to have to keep trying...

I used Chaotic general Lu Bu, Ronia (not ult evolved) Ebon sorcerer (provides a skill bind resist), Moonbeam fang witch Lilith (provides another skill bind resist), dark liege vampire (balanced ult evo), and your awoken Horus (mainly for the 2 skill bind resists). This gave 80% resist chance (which is still only about 64% since the dungeon attempts to skill bind you at least twice).

I'm not sure if I was only able to clear the boss floor as a result of lucky skyfalls triggering Horus, but hopefully that isn't the case.

The B/D ult would have brought you to 100% skill lock resist. You probably already knew this, but just in case! For this situational reason, I actually skilled up two vamps over time and have both in my tool box.

Just tried another run. The second red mask on floor 4 skill bound me and resulted in my death. I decided to just spend a stone and continue anyway. Blue mask dropped again, and I didn't even manage to actually clear the dungeon.

Problem is that now that I'm so close to having all the materials needed for awoken Bastet, I'm starting to feel a little impatient and impulsive; if I stone again, it'll only be if I die on the boss floor after confirming that the green mask has dropped.

Attempted another run: didn't get skill bound, but still got killed on floor 4 since I didn't have enough dark orbs.

So close yet so far...

My Wednesday team (Urd-Nim-CaoCao-Awoken Ra-GolemMK3-Urd) also runs on only 80% skill-bind resist but fortunately I won't have to run the dungeon again for a long time.

//Also I wish I had a Blonia or a Skuld.... still have 20+ blue Tri-Fruits taking up space.... Would you keep 'em or feed them for XP?

Poring Tower a 2nd 'best friend' option and the 'memorial egg machine' for players of level 150 or above are coming to Europe tomorrow. :mrgreen:

I just sell excess materials like that. Of course once you get rid of your Blue Dragon Fruit, you'll pull a blue Sonia or Skuld in the next Godfest. Which reminds me, today I need to try getting two Red Dragon Fruit for my second Liu Bei. It has been a while since I had to farm Thursday Mythical. I don't miss it.

NA is getting the Memorial Egg Machine and best friend reset very soon too. You have to make sure to BFF someone before then, if you already haven't.

Thx to Necro for advices on what to do with my box. I'll definitely go the red route for now. I also saw that Lmeta leader skill will also boost God type in the future, which is pretty good, isn't it ?

Meanwhile, I'm getting destroyed countless times by Yamato Challenges. Could clear levels 1,2,3, but 4 still resists. I bring in :
Durga / Echidna / Kushi / Muse / Verdandi / Durga
Big ATK multi with Durga, Echidna/Kushi to survive, Verdandi to heal at least once, Muse to burst Kaguya once she is under 75%.
Still cant clear it though, it seems I get bad luck since some Tama or Goblin appear with a timer of only 1, I kill the 2nd floor dragon accidentally instead of stalling to activate, there is no way to know when Hanzo will launch Slash (=death) or block orbs (one free turn) etc... I'm still confident I'll get it though.

On the other hand, I have no idea about lvl 5 Wadatsumi. How did you guys do it ? Is a patience team like Green Odin + Amaterasu possible with my box ?
