At this point even I don't have a reliable team for Friday Mythical (I could probably do something with my LMeta but haven't really tried,) but I've gotten enough of them out of the PEM that it' hasn't been an issue so far. I've got a mostly reliable Red Odin team for Thursday Mythical, but I'm not running that right now since I need it mostly for Ronia/Bonia skillups and they aren't currently active.

Nice Echidna !

Now how the hell can you max skill her ? If I understand it correctly, the only way is to feed her monster with the same skill, namely in this case : naga or her evolution.
This means you DID farm for lots of Naga and fed them to Echidna hoping for skill up, repeat until you reach skill level 6 ?
This is crazy.

This is correct. Once you reach Rank 80?! you gain access to "coin dungeons" which will become available under the "shop" button. These selected dungeons change once every couple of weeks if I am not mistaken; and yes, I had to run the expert "Scarlet Snake Princess" dungeon a "couple of times" to max-skill my awesome snake lady.
Another unevolved Echidna (skill level 2) is already sitting in the box to tackle cost restricted dungeons later on.

Now, I am waiting for "Poring Tower"!!! Would love to have a max-skilled King Mastering!

What else?
Got an "ancient blue sacred mask" from the PEM, which made me very happy, cause now I "could" ult evo my Loki!
The Wednesday Legend dungeon is still an absolute no-go area...

Deleted my 2nd "stone collector" account on my phone (bye bye Haku, Karin, Siren,...,) and started fresh...

After rerolling 3 times, my first 3 pulls happend to be a Pandora, a Blue Sonia! and the Dark Dragon Tiamat, not too shabby really... Though, I don´t like Pandora very much because she probably needs a lot of max-skilled orb changers (Vampires) to work reliably but a Blue Sonia is of course a real delight! Blonia would also work well with the physical Hybrid Ogres to deal some serious DMG! I wish the game had a "trade" feature... But Iguess I will just level to 20 for the gift ^^,...
I am way too busy with one account to be honest...

Oh, the Super Gold Dragons (EU) are up in 30 minutes, so, happy puzzling everyone.

[Necronopticous]

At this point even I don't have a reliable team for Friday Mythical

Here's my team, which I'm extremely proud of:



Everyone is max awoken, and Sonia, Odins, and Neptune are all max-skilled. This means that all skills are up the moment I enter the dungeon.

Round 1 - Pop Odin#1 for insta-kill.
Round 2 - Pop Odin#2 for insta-kill.
Round 3 - Pop Neptune for insta-kill.
Round 4 - Take a hit to enter Meta-zone, then pop Sonia & Metatron to 1-shot Angelit & Devilit.

I can run this thing trivially in under a minute with this. It's ridiculous.

[guigui]

Pffff this game is crazy.
It makes me wonder if I like to play for the fun it gives me now, or for the reward I'll get later.

If it is for the future reward, I cant stop right now ; I mean I'll never achieve those kind of teams before years of time investing/wasting.

[guigui]

Sorry double post.

So it looks like I'm still playing this and try to set a team of hybrid ogre up.
I have four of them now, but missed the first one I made because I did not awaken him before ultevo. I'll see if I'll spend tamadras, or just make another one.

Now if I want to get rare masks in those friday dungeons, I just enter with a full hybrid ogres team, try and activate big damage skill early, stall before the next wave, rinse and repeat ?
Also, what would be a good friend choice for my this team ?

I wish I could run this dungeon to skill up my Urd.

@Necro.
Nice team That certainly took some doing.

IMO you should only feed Tamadras to REM exclusive monsters, which you cannot farm at all.

I tackle the Expert Mask dungeon with double G/L Guan Yu lead (x12.25 attack for leaders and ogres if HP > 50%), 3 hybrid ogres and Echidna.
My Ra team works too but it can be tricky, because I am still lacking subs that enhance orb movement time.
But if you need to use a resolve team, you will prolly want a max-skill defense breaker and some high RCV subs, you have to puzzle around a bit...

[guigui]

So, I did clear the mask expert dungeon. My team was three hybrid ogres, unevolved Echnida, Shiron (red dragon that switch blue to red and delay ennemie's attack, the best I could find to fill subs) and a blue Siren auto-recover as friend. It went pretty good.

Question : drops were 2 light, 2 dark, 1 green, 1 mystic. Encounters about the same ratio. Definitely not what I needed. Is it just my bad luck or this dungeons is crowded with light/dark masks ?

Also, godfest is on and I rolled a Nephtys. I dont find her that good. Think I'll make three more rolls tonight, unless you guys tell me this godfest is lame and I'll wait for the next one.

[Jon]

I also managed to clear the expert mask dungeon netting the divine golden I needed for my Baal. From what i can tell the masks all appear at the same rate, this game just seems to be particularly stingy with the items you happen to be farming atm. Dragon plants and the specific -lit you happen to be after are the best at falling off the face of the earth.

Guigui, don't feel too bad about Nephtys, at the least it looks like she might be a decent sub for a dark team. It could be worse, 6 rolls and all I have to show for it is a Ganesha (2x coins yay! ) Thor, who seems to be doing his damnedest to buck Gungho's track record of solid monster design. At least his trap flavored ulti-evo is somewhat interesting. http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=1347
I also picked up Water Wizard Sharon who is the least notable but probably the one I will get the most immediate use out of.

Gungho also managed to get the one and (probably) only dollar out of me with their "special bundle" magic stone offer. I got a really nice earth golem out of the deal.

Guigui, I am curious on what REM luck you might have with your remaining rolls, please keep us posted.

[cave hermit]

I had two more rolls saved up for yesterday's God fest, so I rolled in an attempt to get another God or a decent sub for my red Guan Yu.

I got a grim rock and a marine rider. I was so excited when I saw the gold egg for the marine rider

Typically daily dungeons should be worked on during weekly events since all rarer evo material gets 2x chance drop. Doesn't mean guaranteed drop of a certain evo monster in an attacking group, but you at least get a monster.

Imagine how much revenue GH will rack up if this continues every GodFest.

[dunpeal2064]

I had 3 rolls saved up just from clearing the early dungeons, finally get to roll them!

First roll was a +1 Thor! He looks awful visually, but at least seems usable.

Last roll netted me a Haku, which I was very pleased about. She seems like a great lead, and I like the playstyle she seems to lean toward.

Now I need to get some better Fire/Water/Dark cards. I think Raoh will be useful, since his orb change gets me both Fire and Dark. Figure an Echidna would greatly help the team, so I'm trying to farm one right now.

With Tamadras and +1 cards, do I need to save until the card I want to use them on is fully evolved, or will these bonuses carry over to the evolution?

Really starting to get addicted to this game. I think I might have to spend the $1 and get another roll.

[Necronopticous]

With Tamadras and +1 cards, do I need to save until the card I want to use them on is fully evolved, or will these bonuses carry over to the evolution?

They carry over, but I don't recommend using Tamadras until there are actually awakenings to activate on the card because you never know what you might get in the meantime, and it doesn't help you at all until then.

[Jon]

With Tamadras and +1 cards, do I need to save until the card I want to use them on is fully evolved, or will these bonuses carry over to the evolution?

They do indeed carry over. What I would like someone to confirm is if you can continue to power up monsters with +eggs once they reach their max level/evo. I can only assume and hope the answer is yes.

P.S. Good luck Naga hunting dunpeal, I managed to get her, Dryad, Mermaid, and Titan from grinding their respective dungeons rather than the PEM.

[guigui]

Well, 3 more rolls gave genie, genie, and undine. How bad is that ? Reaaaaaal bad.

[cave hermit]

The bundle offer is tempting, but I still refuse to spend money just to make a game easier (it isn't even a sure thing: I'll probably get a golem or something).

Even if I did change my mind, I can't just pull a dollar out of my wallet and feed it to my iPhone, I have to buy a pre paid card in a denomination much larger than what I'll need (I don't link credit cards to accounts for security reasons)

So I actually have 4 stones now, and I want to get one more by tomorrow for another godfest roll. Problem is the dungeons now take significant effort to beat, and I have a limited stamina pool...

[cave hermit]

So with some strategy and luck I managed to beat the blue guardian and got a 5th magic stone.

I rolled a fairlio.

I could have spent this time studying more.

Nephthys isn't a bad pull, especially if you don't have a better leader. She should be able to clear all the Normal dungeons up to at least Legendary Seaway. Paired with another Nephthys, you get unconditional 1.82x boosts to HP and RCV, and a 9x boost to ATK that is very easy to activate. Her active skill also enhances dark orbs and increases dark damage by 150% for a turn. Team construction is very flexible - just focus on dark attribute cards with sub-attributes that facilitate Nephthys' leader skill activation, preferably orb changers like Dark Liege, Vampire Duke; Drawn Joker, Jester Dragon; Grape Dragon, and many others.

Her awakenings are the worst things about her, but she's a relatively new card and doesn't have an ultimate evolution yet.

Hey, the Final Fantasy crossover looks 10,000 times more interesting than anything Squeenix's done in the last decade.

[cave hermit]

So I got a naga to drop from the fire forest a little while back, and now it's a max leveled echidna: I'm currently farming the blazing highway trying to get the divine carmine mask I need for it to evolve.

[Necronopticous]

Careful, Final Fantasy XII was less than a decade ago! Otherwise, sadly, I have to agree. So very sad.

[guigui]

Exact same here. Those divine mask do not drop often. I had two greens for technical dungeons though.
But my hybrid ogres team is ready for wednesday dungeon ! By the way, thanks for the help the other day Necro.

Also, this sunday I discovered that weekend dungeons give a LOT of exp. I did the master level about 8 times and grinded about 6 ranks.
I'll need this to access team with higher costs, my blue Odin is so expensive I cant put many good subs with him.

Finally, I hit the 50 stamina mark right on time to see the tamadra dungeon appear, real luck isn't it ? So in engaged it with hybrid ogres team for resolve and double damage, Echidna and Firon to delay attack and Siren helper to auto-heal.
Damned, those black tamadra are a real pain in the ass, but I got them on my first try. I did not stall the first wave and the black one the second wave almost killed me. Afeter that, everything was stall stall stall stall stall, now I understand why Geist did max skill Echidna.

[dunpeal2064]

I pulled a Naga from the PEM!

Not how I expected to get one, but still really pleased. I've been using a pretty jank team, so actually working towards my first real, constructed team is exciting. And that delay skill seems like it will just be good, period.

Now time to figure out how the hell to get her fully maxed out.

[guigui]

To get her fully mawed, what you need is patience.
Tonight is evo material unite, dont know if I'll be able to beat it though. Those masks and dublits before will force me to bring a resolve team, which might not be strong enough to handle that final rainbow keeper...

First pull on my 2nd account: chibi DQXQ...

I really want one on my main account but used all my Pal Points a couple of days ago....

Any other EU players here?

[guigui]

Any other EU players here?

I play from EU, but on the NA Android version of the game since EU android version is not available.

Tonight in the evo unite dungeon, I could reach the rainbow keeper with my hybrid ogre team. I had an auto heal as helper so I was invincible since the keeper only attacks every 5 turn.
But that guys has like 1 million HP and after 15 minutes of frantic matching, I had barely scratched its HP bar. I quit, such a shame.

[guigui]

Double post again, sorry.

Is it just me or those wednesday dungeon masks are absolute crap ? I just ran the expert one 4 times in hope to get a Divine red mask.
The 4th floor is always RGB divine masks, and NONE of my 4 attempts had any mask drop from this floor, nada, nothing, rien. The 5th floor is always Mystic, Light and Dark masks and I had 2 drops from this floor.

It feels like it would be better to farm technical blazing highway for the divine red mask, plus you get more XP and pengdra drops !

[Jon]

^^^I agree it would be more beneficial to play the red technical dungeons for the mask drop. Wednesdays expert dungeon is tedious and costs quite a bit of stamina. At the very least you will have a fair number of pendgras for tomorrows green dragons den.

On a somewhat related note I did manage to put down my first Rainbow Keeper yesterday, landing me the materials needed for my first ultimate evolution! My Crimson Lotus Mistress is pretty to look at, but is too costly to use on my current team.

[cave hermit]

I actually got a divine carmine mask to drop from a tech dungeon yesterday (I was really lucky that it decided to use a bind attack instead of actually attacking :/ ) After grinding dungeon of fire (D:) for 2 more rubylits, I finally evolved my echidna!

[guigui]

Happy to see we all are in quite the same situation : grinding for evolve material ... finally getting it ... evolve ... unable to use new monster because too costy !
Now this is team management at its prettiest state

[cave hermit]

Today I decided to create a king baddie, as I actually have a few devil type monsters now (2 Shins from the north star rem, a wicked lady from the PEM, etc.) and I don't have any important dark element monsters to use my king metal dragon one.

King baddie's active skill inflicts 10x damage on an enemy, but much more importantly, it also grants 3x attack from all devil types for that turn. Shin's leader skill already grants a passive 2.5x devil attack bonus, so I could deal 7.5 times my normal damage in one turn! And if I partner up with one of my friend's Lu bus (which has a 3 times devil attack boost with slight max hp increase for devils), I could deal 22.5 times my normal damage! So far this seems to be working pretty well in the tech dungeon I ran, although it was a light element dungeon so...

I finally hit 50 max stamina today! I immediately tried to run super king metal dragon descended with a friend's maxed level full awakened +297 Ronia, hoping to steamroll it with her... Only to be 1 shotted on the second floor by the first super king metal dragon, who only took scratch damage and attacked after just one turn -_-

Also the mini 3k pal machine comes to the US next wednesday, so I'm playing much more frequently to try and build up my pal points (I should have started saving as soon as the irc guys told me about it, but I assumed it would take a long time to arrive in the US. In any case I started saving as soon as I saw it hit Europe, and I almost have enough for 3 rolls on the 3k machine.)

There's also another godfest starting tomorrow with Indian gods, so I'll probably take a roll sunday: I got 3 stones today from the pax daily stone promo, the BEAM bear gift dungeon, and the light tech dungeon, so even if I don't make any more progress tomorrow, I'll have the 5 stones needed on Sunday thanks to the daily stone promo.

Man that was a long post
