Puzzle & Dragons

[Aisha]

Yeah; Satsuki seems to get a lot of action on teams with modern dark leaders like Awoken Tsukuyomi.

Of the new exclusives, I'm personally interested in pulling Kaede and Kanna, but they're 6 stars each like dark Kali, so it will require a miracle.

Kaede says "Randomly spawn 3 Wood & Heart orbs"

Does that spawn 3 woods + 3 hearts, for a total of 6 orbs changed ?

[Aisha]

Yep, you get 3 wood and 3 heart orbs.

I decided that I'm going to skip this Godfest entirely. The exclusives are available each Godfest anyway, and I'd rather wait until a pantheon featuring a desirable god like Parvati comes around.

In the meantime, Earth Insect Dragon is available in the new coin dungeon rotation, so I'm going to commit to trying to max-skill Vishnu since I have a feeling that his ultimate evolution is close at hand. I can work on Leeza at the same time as well.

[guigui]

Just gave the godfest a courtesy roll, and got Andromeda.
Pretty satisfied since I have lots of good blue cards just waiting for a leader.

[Necronopticous]

Just cleared the current set of challenges. Star Vault tomorrow! I've been thinking about going back to a dark focus in preparation for Awoken Yomi and Zaerog Infinity. What teams are you guys focusing on these days?

[Jon]

^^^I just evo'd my Bastet to her awoken form this morning. Its time to see just how bad my combo skills have atrophied due to Verdandi abuse. She will probably be my main focus for the time being while I focus on getting both Ra and Isis to their awoken forms (and hopefully roll a LKali along the way) so I can try out my own version of your Egyptian super team.

Couldn't help myself and threw some stones at the REM despite lackluster GF:

Okuninushi
Double-Edged Blade Brave, Claymore
Red Dragonbound, Gadius

My alt. account rolled Satsuki and all I can do is feel butthurt that she's not on my main.

[Aisha]

I just continue to focus on my wood cards. I figure that once I finish enough of these then I'll be able to swap them around at will and make teams on the fly. Currently I'm working on Vishnu and my second Liu Bei, and after I'll probably work on Kushinadahime and my second Verdandi. Eventually I'll work towards Awoken Meimei and Awoken Bastet.

More and more these days I want to pull a Ra, but it seems moot without dark Kali.

Just gave the godfest a courtesy roll, and got Andromeda.
Pretty satisfied since I have lots of good blue cards just waiting for a leader.

Andromeda is a top-tier sub for Awoken Lakshmi, who's currently the most popular water leader. You can put Blue Odin on her team since she likes rows, but you should keep an eye out for blue subs that can make a lot of water and heart orbs -- in particular Archangel Gabriel, Skuld, and another Andromeda. Karin + Amberjack work pretty nicely in tandem too.

Spent another magic stone to beat Wednesday mythical.

The blue mask dropped.

God damn it.

[Jon]

So, anyone sell of their box for that ugly Shiva Dragon yet? Only 293,996 points to go but I would probably spring for a Keeper of Gold or an Angelit long before I would even consider saving for one of these guys. What do the vets here think of the whole latent tamadra thing? Slapping a fire resist on my Vishnu or Osiris certainly doesn't seem like a bad idea.

[cave hermit]

Oh wow, the monster shop is here already?

Once I connect to wi fi and update, it'll be time to sell those Grimrocks into slavery for a mythical green mask!

[Jon]

Yeah it arrived with last nights maintenance. One GrimRock gets you one mask which doesn't seem so bad. I will gladly give up my dupe REM trash for higher tier evo materials and Piis.

[cave hermit]

Ok, I bought my green mythical mask (wish I knew about this in advance so I wouldn't have had to waste those magic stones, but oh well), and now the last steps before I can get Awoken Bastet are to level Medjedra up two more times, and then get a fire dublit tomorrow so I can evolve him.

Of course, the next step after getting Awoken Bastet is to actually create a team for her...

I've got two Perseuses (Perseusi?) a highlander (which needs to be evolved a few times obviously), and a couple of random
green monsters I could put in for that last slot, including wind twin star fafnir, a marine rider, and Slyph.

[Necronopticous]

Don't spend MP on evo materials!

[cave hermit]

Man, Shiva Dragon is 300,000 points; that's about 100 grim rocks

[guigui]

Hermit, congrats on getting ABastet soon, even though buying evo mat with points may not be such a good idea indeed.
Riders and Perseus look like good sub for Bastet, and not that her multiplication applies to all colors attribute (except the 1.5 burst when skill used of course).

Once your team is ready, get ready to be disappoint for some times though, I find playing that card IS difficult, 5 combos is a lot.

[cave hermit]

Hmm what about this team?

Awoken Bastet
Marine rider (pre ult evo)
Perseus (pre ult evo)
Evolved chrono turtle
Soaring dragon General Sun Quan

Between bastet's dual time extends, chrono turtle's dual time extends, and one from sun quan, I have 2.5 extra seconds for matching every turn! Not to mention that Bastet's active gives +2 seconds, and chrono turtle's active gives +6 seconds! Plus if I can get more green masks and ult evolve Perseus, I get another time extend for 3 extra seconds every turn!

[guigui]

This might be a training team to get a grip of bastet gameplay. In the long term id say that turtle should be replaced by highlander/cuchulain. Dont you have some otherbgreen tpa guys ?

[guigui]

Busy week.

I cleared Challenge dungeon up to level 6. Did not try level 7, too scared of Keeper of the Gold.

I skilled up my Red Sonia with the Red Dragon Fruits that took all my place. Went 4/15 skill ups, nice. I read somewhere that her CD will be decreased to from 15 to 13, so lets keep the 10 remaining red fruits for later.

I evolved 10 yellow chasers to skill my LMetatron, got 2/10 skill ups, pretty disappointing for x2.5 rate.
Since I like it, I also farmed some Sea Bowl Demon, that have to be evolved, to skill up my Green Armored Ice Knight Muse.

I cleared some of the new technical dungeon, and was pleasantly surprised to see that Ancient Holy Hour has Dub Topalit as a regular spawn (as well as DQXQ skillup). Might help farm them outside of friday. The dungeon is 50 stamina, and Lit may only appear on 3 floors though.

Last but not least, I rolled 45 times the enhance carnival machine. This machine is awesome : got 15 king dragons, and all the rest super kings or special kings, including 5 extreme king metal dragon. Nice. Also got 2 Artemis skillup from the Green Super Kings gotten in the machine.

[Aisha]

Nothing exciting here. I've just been farming Earth Insect Dragon Mythical all week, and later today will feed ~40 Gigarocks to Vishnu, hoping for the best.

[guigui]

Well, i would think that owning the Vishnu card is already exciting. But this is just pure jealousy

[Aisha]

Done and done. I honestly didn't think Leeza would make it because her skill-up fodder is kind of an uncommon drop so I didn't have much of it, but she went 4/12. Vishnu was a nail-biter. I had 41 feeds for him; he started out 0/15 and went down to the final 4 for the last skill level. My hand was shaking by the end of it. Damn game. Now I have to level these guys up and wait for Vishnu's ultimate to arrive...

Batman Collab 2 is up. I'm tempted to roll in its REM, hopefully for Harley Quinn or Batman+S. Gloves. This REM is good because the possibilities are pretty solid, even the 4-star silver eggs. Batman+Remote Claw is really the only loser in the group, I think.

[Kaiser]

Well now, I haven't said much in a while, I hit rank 86 today (Haven't had time to play lately, I have reached the Mechdragon's Fortress in Technical (yes I unlocked the conditonal ones, won't do the wood one for a while), I have reached Legendary Dragon's Footsteps in Normal, I can't beat the cave before it though, it just obliterates me.

So my current squad is Urd (Evolved, ~55), Sai (also ~55), Dino Rider (unevolved because farming Dragon Fruit is a time consumign task), Archangel Uriel (I can evolve him but I need 5 more cost for him to fit in, he's 50, aka current max) and Ice Samurai Ogre. The only interesting subs I have unused are Metatron, Ruel, Flamedragon Muspelheim, last godfest rolls were so shitty they are not worth mentioning, any use for them? Provided I get cost up by rank 101.

Question 2, I have a whole stack of high level king metal dragons, do I waste them on Urd? (I got a whole stack of Tamadras waiting for Uriel to be evolved)

[cave hermit]

The only other green monster I have with two prong (at least that immediately comes to mind) is Wind Twin Star Fafnir, although his single two prong awakening seems to be secondary to his 2 row enhances.

I rolled the batman collab machine today, and got a cat woman

[guigui]

Kaiser, your rider has always been dino rider ? I thouht it was cerberus.
Also, if you dont mention your last gf rolls, we cannot say if they have any use. Of coure, now you have theoptionnto sell some monsters for points, but i woild be very careful about it regarding your low rank.
Finally, about feeding dragon kings, just wait until friday, an event will start and it will certainly give a boost to xp bonus.

Hermit, it is true that fafnir is not the best sub for abastet. The green starter dragon, when fully evolved, gets two tpas and looks better. Also, zhang fei is farmable in his own descent and might be decent.
Of coure the rem-only list is way bigger : verdandi gzl, liu bei, vishnu, artemis, caocao...
Is your bastet awoken now ?

[Aisha]

She's useful! If you don't have a Ganesha of your own or a best friend who leaves him up for the weekends, Catwoman is the next best thing. A coin multiplier is a great asset to have once you start running coin dungeons regularly.

[Necronopticous]

So I have finally settled on my next big projects:

1) Awoken Yomi team

2) Shiva Dragon team

The exact team configurations aren't 100% set in stone but I'm thinking something along those lines, and I have everything I need to build them. It's gonna be a long and arduous process, though.

I'm sitting on my last 300,000 monster points. I need to wait until the dark MP dragon is announced since there is a rather good possibility it will wind up being the best Awoken Yomi sub out there. If so, I will save my MP for that, else, it is just enough to latent-awaken the rest of my primary Awoken Ra team with full 6% rainbow resist.

[guigui]

I need red jewel for Awoken Shiva, and Zeus Vulcan for Awoken Minerva. Both are in Zeus Vulcan in current challenge, so the question is very simple : can I beat it before the end of challenge ?

My ABastet team suffers from color disadvantage, I fear missing firepower :
ABastet / verdandi / verdandi / gzl / gzl
I can flex some gzl or dandi for kushi or echidna for instance

I can also go full verdandi :
Verdandi / Verdandi / Cuchulain / gzl / gzl

My devil team is kind of underleveled :
Lubu / Ronia / Vampire / Sleeping Beauty / Zuoh
Have another lubu or a Beelzebub to fit in.

I can also form a healer team, never played it though, unsure if it could work against Zeus Vulcan :
LMeta / DQ / LValkyrie / Fuu / AVenus

I also have other options in my box.
Any advice on how to tackle that Zeus Vulcan with all those elements ?

[Aisha]

An Awoken Bastet team can do it, but I'm not sure how necessary that triple TPA card is. I would be inclined to go with two green Zhuge Liang cards because two TPAs backed by over 2k ATK is pretty damn respectable.

Devil teams can do it too, but I'm not sure if yours has enough burst. You will most likely need to burn a few active skills against Phoenix, which means that you'll have to stall against Seigfried and Cu Chulainn. The last four floors pose a bigger problem, because you face Artemis, Hera-Ur, Ares, and Zeus-Vulcan consecutively. You can't stall against Hera-Ur and Ares. Stalling against Artemis is possible, but her binds could overwhelm you. It's also possible to stall against Zeus-Vulcan because he does nothing fancy, but you are finished the moment you get heart orb trolled.

I think it would be easier to wait for the next event, which is very soon. Zeus-Vulcan will be a normal descend, which means you can use continues if necessary. The Thief Descended (Goemon) will also have the Jewel of Fire, which is very easy to farm.

[guigui]

Great advice about waiting, Goemon will get farmed ! If I time my rank up correctly, I could run it around 9 times the day it appears, hopefully getting the 2 red jewels I need.
As for Zeus Vulcan, he can wait, Awoken Minerva is not that important to me right now.

I could clear God of the Seaway (Zeus Mercury), with Verdandi/Kushi/Echidna/GZL/GZL, mainly because I had color advantage and because Echidna is love.

[guigui]

So, challenge dungeon rewards have changed :

- Lv 5...Latent TAMADRA (Ext. Move Time)
- Lv 4…PreDRA
The PreDRA at level 4 may be sold for 3000 points at the shop. I am inclined not to be happy with this.

First, where is my Snow Globe Dragon at Lv 5 ?!? I understand Latent TAMADRA may be useful in the long term, but damned, I need XP for my cards, now.
Second, you get 3k points at the shop for clearing Lv 4, that is just enough to buy a regular TAMADRA. But you used to gain a +9 TAMADRA for clearing Lv4, where are my 9 +eggs gone ?
