Puzzle & Dragons

[Vexorg]

I've been playing basically the same Ronia team (Hypermax Ronia leads, Dancing Queen Hera-Ur, Lu Bu, D/F Luci and a floating spot that typically goes to either ROdin or Ares) for quite a while now, and it makes a pretty good farming team with some descend potential, but it tends to run into problems when you run out of hearts, and is basically dead in the water if your leads get bound.

>TFW you get to the final floor of one shot challenge level 5 with your mono green awoken bastet team, only to discover the boss has a preemptive green card bind

[Jon]

^^^I died fighting Apollo over the weekend as well and put aside the one shot challenges in favor of other things since then. If you want to run level 5 with a green team I think Awoken Ceres would be a requirement. I believe guigui has her and if he does he should be a sport and leave her up tomorrow as a leader to help us out.

[guigui]

I do have Awoken Ceres, she helped me cheese out that level 5. You, sir Jon, are right, my green cards are monsters.

I'll leave her up for the next days, message me ingame if I remove her. Beware though, if Red Suzaku appears on the jewel floor, you might have some trouble killing her with poor multiplication.

Kaiser, it is good to have cleared Hera in Starlight Sanctuary (hermit did you do it ?). Now clearing Zeus is another story, especially if you do not run a dark team. You are almost at the end of Normal dungeons, but be aware that there is a real bump in difficulty after Heroe's Hideout, and those dungeons cost 88 or 99 stamina each.
I would also switch back to technical for the time being, there are plenty of good stuffs to be had in there : Mechdragon's fortress for instance.

[Aisha]

My Verdandi team once got wrecked by Apollo too. I did have Awoken Ceres in the team to clear binds, but I had to use her earlier on in the dungeon (Kraken) and didn't bother stalling to get her back up because I was too lazy to read Apollo's move list.

I'm trying to take advantage of 3x Normals and farm +Eggs in whatever tier 5 and 6 dungeons have the daily 1.5x drop-rate bonus. It's crushing spending 200 stamina and only coming away with ~6 +Eggs. I'm not sure how people do this.

Bad luck, I have the most luck in Sea God of Heaven on weekends, and do not bother doing something else anymore.

[cave hermit]

Oh my god fuck room of the mask; it's bad enough that most of the time I can't clear it, but then whenever I DO clear it, it's always the blue mask that drops!

[BulletMagnet]

Looks like the 3DS is getting another P+D game of some sort.

[cave hermit]

Finally got the green mask to drop!

So here's my current Awoken Bastet team: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/simulat ... 99.99.99.8

I think the multiplier on that page only takes the minimal combo multiplier into account (the 9 times attack at 5 combos) and doesn't account for the 7 combo multiplier (16 times attack) or active skill bonus multiplier (36 times attack at 7+ combos with active used that turn).

[Vexorg]

I've generally had the best luck with the Skydragon dungeons for farming 3x normals. KoG is decent as well as long as you have a team that can clear it consistently (my Ronia team on my alt can; my Verdandi teams are iffy) and if you can catch it at 1.5x XP with enough stamina (my accounts are both around 180-190 stamina) you can basically farm it indefinitely, but that would get really boring in a hurry. I generally farm Skydragons because every battle can drop something. KoG probably has the highest drop rate overall, but a lot of people don't have teams for it.

[StoofooEsq]

27 Stones and no idea what to do with them. Not looking to spend any on the Final Fantasy REM. All I really wanted from the FF Collab was the low-cost villains. Even managed to get Gilgamesh to appear and drop. Maybe I'm missing something with what I can get from the REM?

That aside, I'm just sort of in a standstill in progress. I often run the Guerrilla dungeons when they open. Got Frozen Soil and Legendary Dragons' Footprints in Normal unlocked, barely touched them. I figure I could just cruise through with my longtime Haku and another friend's Haku. I do want to evolve her to Awoken Haku, but I first need specialized teams to run the dungeons to get the monster materials for that (IF they drop).

The grind continues.

[guigui]

So here's my current Awoken Bastet team: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/simulat ... 99.99.99.8

This looks pretty nice. GZL and rider will hit like beasts with GZL's burst. It is a shame that Perseus does not have a single TPA though. Also, I would definitely swap Canopus out for Cuchulain.
Now be sure to level those guys (farming pengdras like crazy on mondays, then evolving them by buying Dragon Plants Infestation sounds like a pain, but it does work), and spend some time skilling them up, you wont regret it. You should also not hesitate a single second to spend green Piis on Bastet's active.

With this team, you're ready for late game content, and should be able to breeze through Wednesday mythical.

27 Stones and no idea what to do with them.

Keep, keep, keep. A player's choice Godfest will take place some time during december I guess. A good selection of gods will have a 3x rate at the REM, very good place to upgrade your box.
As for progression, how far are you in technical ? There are some nice dungeons to farm in here too.

So here's my current Awoken Bastet team: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/simulat ... 99.99.99.8

With this team, you're ready for late game content, and should be able to breeze through Wednesday mythical.

One tip: Replace Canopus with a Mystic Mask. The Mystic Mask has Ra's skill, Solar Lazer, which deals 7777 damage to all enemies and ignores defense and status shields. Use this to take out the Ancient Green Sacred Mask on the last floor, then you'll have two turns to kill the Ancient Blue Sacred Mask which shouldn't be a problem for a wood team. It's just safer this way: If you try to combo the Ancient Green Sacred Mask down, you'll have to heal 9000 HP every turn which isn't always easy for a low-RCV team, and you might kill accidentally kill the blue mask prematurely.

Otherwise, I agree that swapping Canopus with a G/R Cu Chulainn is a good idea, especially if Cu Chulainn is max-skilled. An Awoken Bastet team's damage can increase considerably if there are multiple wood matches in the combo, so being able to make wood orbs every 5 turns is very helpful. Fast active skills are further beneficial since they allow you to trigger Awoken Bastet's bonus damage multiplier more frequently.

A bunch of new ultimate evolutions are out now, including Verdandi, Kushinadahime, and Awoken Sakuya! I already evolved my Verdandi pair, but I still need another wood jewel for my Kushinadahime, and Zhou Yu and Fagan for my Sakuya.

So now that Verdandi has a new ult evo, i'm awaiting for Urd to get hers

[Jon]

Damn, new ults for Verd, Izanagi and Awoken Sakuya...and I'm missing at least one key evo mat for each of them. It looks like I need to buckle down and finally tackle Paradise of the Holy Beasts which is the only regularly available dungeon I haven't beaten.

Edit: Thanks for the Ceres support guigui. She did her job admirably.

[Vexorg]

The irony with that is that the rare evo materials are now pretty much trivial to get these days, since you can just grab them from the MP shop if you need them. It's the common ones that are a freakin' pain to get. Lately, it seems to be mostly Dub-Mythlits I'm short on when I need to evo stuff, and you either need to wait for them to come around on the pal egg machine, spend the gold for the evo rush dungeon, wait for Friday dungeon or farm the living daylights out of Starlight Sanctuary and hope that one of the things drops...

[StoofooEsq]

If I had a Jewel of Wood, I could evolve my U&Y into Vigorous U&Y right now. That would also take a Jewel of Water, one I could use for Permafrost Queen, Hera-Is, but her 70 Cost is steep and she's more specialized than Awoken Hera-Is. Gorgeous artwork, though. Probably just going to evolve U&Y for now.

I'm at Shrine of Blazing Woods in Technical Dungeons. I think I had originally stopped at this point because I knew this tier of Technicals wouldn't be much of an issue to clear through.

And yeah, I'll save my Stones for a Godfest. Nothing from the FF REM I want, not for collection or team usage.

It's true. I need a more reliable way to get Mythlits and Dub-mythlits, one that doesn't involve the Friday Dungeon's sketchy drop rates. Suppose I'll continue my way to Starlight Sanctuary.

[Cagar]

I read somewhere that people's choice godfest is late november?
Urrghhh it's so hard to wait when you're hardly making progress and need new cards

[Aisha]

The last Winter PCGF was held on December 6th.

The Evangelion Collab is coming back next week. I don't think its REM is as good by today's standards, but Misato is a monster for fire teams.

Ugh; after adding all of these new evolutions that were dumped on us yesterday to my backlog of cards that need awakenings, I need 31 TAMADRA for everything. This is going to take forever...

[guigui]

Gosh, so much happened this thursday ! Verdandi and Kushi are uevoed. I also need a bunch of TAMADRAS now, but could get some from the limited time dungeon that appeared yesterday.

Also, that Thursday mythical dungeon, sometimes, deserves to be glorified. I was farming it for green fruits : 3 runs, 3 greens. Shit happens.
Now I gotta feed them to Verdandi for skill ups, but I think I'd better wait for 2.5x rate.

To skill up my lovely Osiris, I need that drop from either Wood Cat Dragon (current coin dungeon rotation), or Wood Carnival (future two weeks long dungeon). As I understant it, I better wait for Wood Carnival ? Up all the time, drop rate bonus, free.

[Aisha]

Thursday dungeon was bad for me yesterday: 2 green fruit in 6 or 7 runs. I'm saving them for 2.5x skill-up rates. My Verdandi got two awakenings from being fed Baby TAMADRA though, so I guess it wasn't too bad...

Wood Carnival would be best, but we might get the Water Carnival first. I'm waiting for it myself. If you have nothing better to do, running Wood Cat Dragon while it's still available to get a head start wouldn't be a bad idea.

I shouldn't have looked at the coin dungeon rotations. Light Insect Dragon is in the next one and I need to skill up Indra since he's pretty useless when not max-skilled. So much to do... If I weren't saving stones for the PCGF I'd be tempted to refresh for Stamina because it feels like there's too much to do and not enough time.

[Vexorg]

I did something like 6 or 7 runs of Thursday mythical yesterday and got blue fruits (which I have no use for until Sumire skill ups come around again) on 5 of them. Fortunately, the 1 green fruit I got did result in a skill-up on Verdandi, but another one I got out of the PEM did not.

[cave hermit]

Had 25 stones, so I decided I was going to roll once today, once tomorrow, and then save the remaining 3 rolls for PCGF.

Today I rolled Dark Metatron, which seems nice but I don't really know what to do with her.

[Cagar]

I rolled all of my stones (20) today and got shit stuff.


graegjxiofjdsiisrhj i'm so sorry

[Aisha]

I managed to get Zhou Yu from the Descended Carnival today on the first try, which is relieving because it's not a guaranteed drop. I also got Fagan so I have all the base materials necessary to evolve Awoken Sakuya.

Today I rolled Dark Metatron, which seems nice but I don't really know what to do with her.

Recent buffs in JP made her quite powerful: stronger than Shiva Dragon but not as convenient. Under 80% HP, dark attribute cards get an unconditional 16.4x ATK multiplier, and under 50% HP, a 29x ATK multiplier. Her leader skill also grants a 1.8x HP multiplier to dark attribute cards, so her teams tend to have a lot of HP, in the neighborhood of 35-50k. Many dark Metatron teams I've seen since these buffs look to be TPA and dark row hybrids with plenty of orb changers.

She's also a good sub for light Kali teams. Her being dark/water means that you satisfy all the colors Kali needs for activation in just two cards, allowing you to put whatever else you want on the team. Her active skill also reduces damage, which is a convenient bonus.

[cave hermit]

Rolled a Sakuya today.

Have 3 rolls left that I was planning to save for PCGF, but I'm also debating using the rolls today to try and get a Vishnu for my Awoken Bastet team.

What do you guys think?

[cave hermit]

Well I ended up blowing all my remaining stones to try and get vishnu; got some pointless subs instead: Blazing cyberdragon Thuban, a second Kurone, and a phoenix rider.

Oh well, my good fortune had to end at some point :/

[Jon]

^^^Your first two rolls more than make up for your last three.

Three rolls today. Wee Jas, Krishna and berserker z . My luck with REM has been pretty bad lately. I have three rolls left thanks to 300 day login but I'm not sure I'll bite.

[StoofooEsq]

If Kush was in either of the two Godfests, I'd consider rolling for her. She'd be great for tearing through Weekend Dungeons (and picking up easy Friend Points during those times). But there was nothing I wanted or needed. Maybe a Yomi, but I've already got a Haku sub on my main Haku team.

Evangelion Collab starts in just over 3 hours for me. With 31 stones, I might make a few pulls. Last time, my pulls were nothing but the Eva Girls. I got the most use out of Asuka & Unit-02; having her as a leader alongside a friend's Asuka & Unit-02 for a doubled Code 777 in effect makes for a hilariously tanky and strong team.

[Necronopticous]

I bought a Tsukuyomi Dragon, and then I bought a Tsukuyomi Dragon.
