Puzzle & Dragons

[Geist]

I don't think I'll be able to resist. The dupe factor for three kings is high but I really want Lu Bu and Light Kali. The Sengoku Generals look cool but don't do much for me.

These are exactly the cards I am looking for. //+ROdin
My Ra-team needs LKali so badly as King Mastering's AS really is garbage....

Completed the Challenge Descended except for the last 4 floors...
Had a fun time beating Mephisto with Ra! but gave up on Yomi after 2 failed attempts.

After leveling up silly low cost cards I finally managed to get a Tengu!! -> Gaia will be next...

I am also really psyched about Awoken Sakuya, although I only recently turned my chinese lady god into a Gleaming Star---

Can somebody PM me the link to 8.1.2 APK or the APK itself? I've been out of the loop quite a bit and apparently according to firefox, apk4fun has been reported for being malicious and won't let me download the APK at all.

Someone uploaded the latest APK there. Hopefully it works.

Godfest Day 1 on 09/30 is the new Samurai Gods series and the Three Kingdoms series. Day 2 on 10/01 is the Samurai Gods series again and the Greco-Roman 2 series. No Godfest Exclusives are being cut. On both days the GFE rate is 4x while the pantheon rate is 2x.

LMFAO WHAT?

My exact reaction was thankfully in the video itself


Also, I've read several times that "Puzzle & Dragons is not doing well in EU" and I argue that if the game even had an EU Android release, it would also be more popular as a whole (on iOS too.)

[Kaiser]

The game does have an EU release but it's heavily region restricted, so anything outside big EU countries, you won't play it there. Which is why everyone resorts to NA versions.

[Cagar]

Nah, it's not on android in Europe at all.
It's not my problem because I play the iOS version, but I have many friends willing to play it but they can't (and don't want the NA version)

[guigui]

Kaiser and I play android version from europe. No real problem except you have to dl the apk every update.

[Cagar]

In that case you're playing the NA version. (unless the NA version is in some european countries too) but there's no official EU release for android anywhere.
I'd probably play the NA version too, but after playing NA monster strike and it having long "connecting..." screens all the time, I'm hesitant.

[Jon]

Well, part one of the GF is just about done with and I spent the four rolls I had saved up. The gala took over completely for me and I got nothing I was shooting for but I'm not too upset:

Yamato Takaru
Tsubaki (2) Dammit, at least she's worth 15,000 MP
Uriel
Freyr

Three are new, and Yamato and Uriel should pair quite nicely with the Gadius I evolved awhile back. Almost makes up for going 0/10 on Darkseid skill ups thus far.

Sure, Im on the NA version. Load times do not seem worse than in all the videos I see on the internet.

Nice rolls jon, time to go for gadius, yes. Im currently building my blue ALakshmi team and thus need tons of blue lit to evolve the amberjacks for skill up, annoying. After that, Ill also farm DC Collab. Is that Darkseid that good ? I mean, opposed to Ra’s active skill for instance ?

[Aisha]

Darkseid isn't a very good general-purpose sub. He is strictly a utility card. If you need a source of fixed damage for your dark/Devil team, then he's a very nice choice because he won't be dead weight. You can use Ra instead, but chances are that he won't be contributing any significant damage to such a team.

My Darkseid has been going to pretty well -- he only needs one more skill-up. My Sharon and Chester are being very difficult by refusing to skill up though, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort, especially since their fodder aren't guaranteed drops. I'm tempted to just do something else after I finish with Darkseid.

As for this Godfest, I'm probably going to buy an 85 pack and pull after Day 2 starts. Dark Kali will (not) be mine.

Your Urd team is going to be very happy.

7 pulls - 7 gold +eggs

F.C. CyberBeast Leonis
Cao Cao (my first dupe)
Ame no Uzume
Kagutsuchi
Da Qiao & Xiao Qiao

Day2
A. CyberDragon Sadamelik
Artemis

No Kali/Lu Bu but I am not complaining.

Can't wait to unbench my Freyr and have him join my Urd team again.

[Jon]

After a couple of glasses of wine with last nights diner I was feeling stupid so I went ahead and bought a 30 pack of stones:

Minerva (2)
Lu Bu
Cao Cao

3K pantheon complete! I think I've exhausted all the good will the REM is willing to show me so I'm saving my three remaining rolls for a future GF.

Guigui, nice to see your water team is coming along. My Lakshmi will be awoken soon but even then I lack good subs for her. Brutal fire dungeons will continue to be my Achilles heel.

Aisha, Freyr awoken form looks pretty nice. Unfortunately it's my alt. account that has Urd.
Good luck with the DKali hunt!

Nice pulls Geist. It looks like the fire gala took precedence for you as well, eh? And at least your dupe Cao Cao has a second ult you can go for.

[Necronopticous]

I came out of REM retirement for 4x GFEs. Three rolls:

• Scarlet Dragon Caller, Tsubaki
• Red Knight, Nim
• Sun Dragon Caller, Kanna

My absolute most desired cards were Sun Quan and Satsuki, but I'm quite satisfied. I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.

[Vexorg]

I used a bunch of stones I had saved up for a while (around 7 rolls on each account.) Nothing too earth-shattering, but I rolled two more Sumires and a Gonia on my alt account (not sure what I'd even do with the first one I rolled last GF) and a LMeta on my main account.

[Aisha]

Pretty disappointing outcome for me:

Shaitan, the Flame Elemental #4 (MP)
Maeda Keiji
Mori Motonari
Akechi Mitsuhide
Ur-Chimera #3 (MP)
Ivory Dragon #5 (MP)
Twin Blade Brave, Shotel
Sleeping Beauty #3 (MP)
Kagutsuchi #2
Unicorn Rider
Red Riding Hood #4 (MP)
Kagutsuchi #3
Sleeping Dragon, Zhuge Liang #3 (MP)
Cao Cao #2
Archangel Metatron #3 (MP)
Undine, the Water Elemental #5 (MP)
Thanatos #3 (MP)
Red Dragon Caller, Sonia #2

No dark Kali. A Kanna, blue Odin, or Kaede would have been a nice consolation prize, but nope. I also might end up selling a Kagutsuchi because what the hell do I need three for?

I find Shotel to be the most interesting of the bunch. Her active skill has a 3-turn cool-down when maxed. It converts her attribute from fire to wood for one turn, and also boosts Attacker damage by 1.5x for one turn. So... Putting her on an Awoken Bastet team, every three turns Vishnu and Liu Bei get a 2.25x damage boost (the other 1.5x comes from Awoken Bastet's leader skill). Although it's kind of pointless because I'm a believer of utility over more damage after a certain point.

[Kaiser]

So on day 1 I rolled.... a THIRD Metatron, yep! A THIRD METATRON, I was laughing my butt off when I saw it happen and at the same I was dissapointed but then I rolled the green odin and I was happy man (because I didn't play in a long while I didn't have more magic stones for rolling). Nonetheless my team keeps evolving, i've Ult Evolved my Uriel (who's part of the Norn/Sai/Ice Samurai Ogre/Dino Rider (to be evolved when I get rank 100, which should cover the cost, i'm 1 rank away)) and suddenly things got notice'ably crazier damage-wise. Should I waste latent tamadras if I ever get them on my Norn? Stupid question I know!

[guigui]

Welcome to the dupe club Kaiser. Mine, and just the good ones :
- Verdandi x3
- GZL x2
- LMeta x2
- Lakshmi x2
- LuBu x2
- Rodin x2
- Andromeda x2
- Laila x2
- Sharon x2
I find it to be a lot considering I have been playing for 9 months and did not IAP that much (4x 30 stones)

As for latent tamadras, I'd say they are more of an end-game thing and you better collect them for now. Focus on leveling, awakening (or +egging) your monster if you miss firepower.

[Geist]

Nice pulls Geist. It looks like the fire gala took precedence for you as well, eh? And at least your dupe Cao Cao has a second ult you can go for.

Fire walk with me... Not a single special god, but it is okay. At least you got your LuBu.
My Durga also gets the job done, though with a bit less punch.

//The (my first dupe) note on the Cao Cao pull was of course B.S., as I already have 2 Sonias and 2 Hanzos.

@Aisha
, better luck next time.

[MochaFrappes]

Ah yes, I really love playing PAD like you guys.

Especially teasing Yamato Takeru into tricky levels..

[Jon]

1/20 on Darkseid skill ups you guys! *eye twitches




Also: welcome Mocha

[guigui]

1/20 on Darkseid skill ups you guys! *eye twitches

Ouch, we all know that hurts. Hope you have some other cards to skill up from that collab.
I run it mainly for Sharon and went 0/5 then 2/5 with Banshees. I also had 2/5 with Amberjack. That Lakshmi team is going to be big

My program for the incoming week : farm sapphilit. Boys ! I need about 30 of them, and this is not counting the ones I'll need to evolve Blue Sprites when they come around, boring.

Also Welcome Mocha, hope you like grinding as we all do.

[Necronopticous]

I'm still working on max-skilling my Sonia Gran, so I did some farming today while we had the ATK latent invades going on. I managed to get my Sonia Gran to skill level 8 out of 11, and collected 7 ATK latents along the way. I went ahead and pentamaxed my Kagu with them to squeeze a little extra power out of his TPA & leader skill. I'm not sure what to do with the other 2, so I'll just shelf them along with the time extend freebie we got a while back.

Looks like we are finally getting a gift reset in 10 minutes. It has been quite awhile since the last. If you guys don't already have someone in mind to send yours to, you know what to do.

[guigui]

7 latent invades ? This looks like quite a lot. How many runs ? Can you estimate the invade percentage ?

About that gift reset, care to explain how that works again ?

[Necronopticous]

I think I did about 25-30 Sonia Gran runs, total. It seemed like I got an invade maybe every 4 to 6 runs or so.

The gift reset allows you to, once again, choose a friend to give a gift to. Both you and that friend get to roll a special egg machine which drops a +3 monster from a limited set (starter dragons, new plushie version of the starter dragons, and noel dragons).

[guigui]

It looks like the latent invade rate is about the same as jewel spirit invades.
I just used my gift, spinon with +3 atk, dont think is worth keeping and will just feed it to +eggs reservoir.

[Jon]

I haven't used my gift yet. If anyone here wants to double up for a twofer please let me know.

Edit: Already gone. Thanks guigui! I hope you get a snowglobe and not a crappy +3 dragon.

Edit 2: I got a yellow snowglobe and +3 Brachy-bean.

You lucky snowglobe ! I had a +3 spinon.
