Puzzle & Dragons

[Jon]

What Aisha said. No masks, jewels or twinlits would be wasted so go for it. I plan on evoing Minerva to her dark war diety incarnation a.s.a.p and immediately dropping it once I have access to her awakened form.

Edit: Speaking of ultimate evolutions, it appears guigui's Blodin has reached the top of the mountain, so to speak. Triple everything in the awakenings department!

[guigui]

Yes ! Ultimate Blue Odin is fully leveled and awakened from the day it become available in NA server.
But I almost ran out of Tamadra awakening all those Odins, and Tamadra' special dungeon always appears at something like 4am here. Any other convenient way to get them ?

Speaking of Blue Odin, it seems like people do not choose him that often as friend, Verdandi is more liked ang gives me more Pal Points.

I'll tackle challenge level 5 today with attacker team to get that 3millions XP dragon. He's dark though and I have no main dark team around. Maybe I'll feed it to DQXQ, or wait and see if Pandora (she seems to be so on fashion as of now !) appears in godfest...

[Aisha]

Pandora is great, but making a team around her is pretty difficult, in my opinion. Her leader skill needs a steady flow of dark orbs: Its minimum activation requires that you match 6 of them together for 3x damage, up to a maximum of 8 dark orbs together for 4x. To that end, Pandora teams often have to be stacked with max-skilled orb changers like Hanzo, Haku, and Valkyrie Claire. I think all of the Hero Gods are demanding like that.

I'm thinking of skipping the next few Godfests to save stones. People are speculating that we're due for a Player's Choice Godfest within the next month or two, and I'd rather pull in that since they're curated.

[guigui]

Yes, I saw that Pandora was quite demanding. As is DQXQ for her 4x multi by the way.

I also thought about skipping godfest, but saw that the upcoming were quite good, and I'm not sure I can resist.
However, I might imitate you and wait. Player's choice godfest ? wont make me sign in to Facebook, but you almost did it Gungho !

Edit : Just beat challenge level 5. Masks have been stalled, Pii's have been poisoned. One valuable thing learned : when board is hidden, using an orb changer WILL NOT reveal it. I used Urd on a hidden board and found myself annoyed. Had no choice but to keep going.
If you just click on each orb, you can see its color and plan your moves though, which should be fixed in my opinion.

[Necronopticous]

It looks like we have Hero series along with Japanese God 2 starting this Friday. Here's hoping for Pandora's for everyone.

In this case I actually have all of the cards in both of these two pantheons, so this is a godfest I can finally skip. I have so many other things that I need my stones for right now that it is actually a pretty welcome occurrence.

[Jon]

As much as I'd like Pandora or Yamato, I don't think I will roll on day one either. Day two on the other hand, is calling my name:

DAY 2 : 5/16 (Sat), 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM (PDT)

- Three Kingdoms Series -
1231 Cao Cao
1233 Sun Quan
1235 Liu Bei
1237 Da Qiao & Xiao Qiao
1239 Lu Bu

- Egyptian Series 1 -
490 Horus
492 Isis
494 Bastet
496 Ra
498 Anubis

[Aisha]

Damn, Three Kingdoms again. That's so tempting because I have upcoming teams that are crippled without Sun Quan and Liu Bei. I'm sure they'd be voted into a PCGF though, so I think I'll wait and see. I have most of the Egyptian 1.0s so the dupe chance is high, anyway.

[Vexorg]

I'm probably going to skip this Godfest because I'll have very limited Internet access for a few days, but I might have to sneak in a roll or two on the first day because my GZL teams on both accounts could use a Kushinada about now. In the meantime, I'm working on trying to put together something with the Verdandi I have on my main, hopefully with the intent of being able to get a team that can handle Thursday Mythical out of it. The main problem is that I really need to UEvo my Lu Bu to really make the team work, but can't get the evo material (red fruit) because none of my current teams can really handle it.

[guigui]

Hoho, seeing that day 2 of upcoming Godfest is Three Kingdoms and Egyptians 1, I'll certainly roll it. Starving for a real Cao-Cao and Liu Bei.

Also, which way should I evolve my Sun Quan ? I see that B/G ahs better awakening, but B/L has better leader skill.
B/G is the way I'd like to go, but dont want to spend the blue fruits and regret them later.

[Aisha]

In most cases, B/G is the preferred ultimate evolution of Sun Quan. Only use his B/L evolution if you intend on using him as a leader, or if you need to retain his God type for some reason. If I ever pull him, I'm evolving him into his B/G form without hesitation.

Usually when a card has branching ultimate evolution paths, one form is intended to be used as a leader and the other form is intended to be used as a sub, although both paths retain similar functionality to their pre-evolved forms. Evolutions that change the card's name to "Awoken Whatever" tend to completely change the card's functionality in some way.

[cave hermit]

I rolled twice today, and got two god healers!

Archangel Metatron and Amaterasu.

Honestly I'm not really sure how to fit these gals on my teams, but Amaterasu has a ult-evo with attacker subtype and light/fire elements (plus I somehow have the materials needed!), so that might be a good Leilan sub.

For harbinger leilan, would you say that's the leader branch or the sub branch?

[cave hermit]

...actually it looks like that ult evolved Amaterasu might have a much better leaderskill than Leilani:

3 times multiplier for all attackers unconditionally, plus automatic recovery for 5 times RCV every turn!

Looks like I might be using Leilan as a sub instead!

[guigui]

Nice rolls Hermit, congrats !

L/R amaterasu indeed looks like a good attacker leader, it gives that (auto !) RCV that attackers often miss. Awakenings are not that great though, you'll have to back her up with good subs and friend leaders. I'd say go for R/L Harbginger Leilan and look for Norn of the past Urd friends, her active and stats are seriously insane.
Yay, your attackers team looks nice ! I have a lot of fun with mine, and hope the same for you.

[cave hermit]

Funny thing is that right now (besides leveling her up 20 more levels) the limiting reagent in evolving Amaterasu is actually 2 mythlits of all things

Gotta run the bottom tier friday dungeon some more and hope I get lucky

Simultaneous posts !
To rank up : Weekend dungeon, master.
To get mythlits (regular ones, not the dub ones) : first three technical dungeons on monday, plus you get a lot of pengdras of the color you like, namely red, no ?

[Jon]

Nice cards man, if anyone was due it was you. Attackersaru does look like a pretty nice lead. Save a roll for tomorrow and maybe you'll score Cao Cao.

LMetatron is great too (I have her myself) but she is yet another card that eventually requires an Angelit.

[Necronopticous]

I rolled twice today, and got two god healers!

Archangel Metatron and Amaterasu.

Excellent rolls. I used LMeta as my primary leader for a really long time and cleared many descends with her, and her leader skill has gotten even better since then. Amaterasu continues to elude me after over 650 days of play (just got a reward!) during which I had a brief but heavy in-app-purchase period. She's one of those gods I may never get because I have every other god in the pantheon, so it's very hard to justify rolling when it pops up. I'd love to have her, though.

[Aisha]

Can make a decent farmable light Metatron team in

Light Metatron - King Shynee (replace with Sandalphon eventually) - light Valkyrie - Angelion - Echidna

For harbinger leilan, would you say that's the leader branch or the sub branch?

R/L is definitely the sub, but you should use her as a leader anyway because she is strictly better than R/G. It's like that with the other Chinese Celestials too; GungHo kind of messed up and didn't make their leader forms compelling enough.

[cave hermit]

Not sure how to get a light valkyrie, but I have all the other cards you mentioned (besides the king shynee, which is fairly trivial to make).

Also, I just created my attacker amaterasu and fully awakened it (interestingly enough while opening up my old tamadra gifts one of them contained a badpy instead)! 100% bind resist for her, plus 3 turn bind reduction for the whole team when matching a row of hearts!

My attacker team now consists of attacker amaterasu (as leader naturally), a +72 Leilan (still not ult evolved though, but it has all the awakenings that are currently available), Inferno Sorcerer Laila, King Flamie, and Crimson lotus Echidna! Is this team good enough for descends?

[guigui]

Godfest rolls , 3 kingdoms, and egyptian 1 :

- Tsubone never heard of this gal. Pretty good healer sub ?
- Lu Bu, not the 3 kingdoms I was looking for, but hey !
- Fuu never heard either. Creating hearts is not that good, is it ?

[cave hermit]

Rolled for day 2 and got

-Sun Quan (not quite sure what to use him for, but nice!)

-Because this game gets off on giving me grimrocks, a 7th grimrock.

Edit: I rolled a third time to try and get Bastet because I thought she was cute, and I got her! Bonus: she will likely work well on a Leilan team.

Edit the second: I decided to just use the last of my magic stones to keep the luck going, and I got Lu Bu! (Time to replace or supplement chibi lu bu!)

I'm not actually entirely sure what's the benefit of having the real three kingdom monsters over the chibi ones though (I have all of them but chibi guan yu, which doesn't matter since I had the real one)

[guigui]

Sun Quan is beast, congrats. Luck seems to be with you as of now.

My fourth roll gave Sleeping Beauty. I'm definitely able to creat hearts now, yeah !
Decision is made : from now on, I dont spend a single stone before Player's Choice Godfest.

[cave hermit]

Well I looked into it, and basically Lu Bu and Sun Quan (the real ones) have slightly better stats, slightly better awakenings, and have ult evos (the Lu Bu one isn't in NA yet though).

Not really as excited about those two since I had the chibis, but I'm sure I'm overlooking something!

You are. Be sure that ult evo and good awakenings (look at the B/G Sun Quan ones) make the real ones way better.
EDIT : and again congrats on the luck. Why not playing real lottery today ?

[cave hermit]

I wonder what I'm going to do with all my grimrocks though: I have more than enough to make a full team of nothing but grimrocks...

Spoiler

[BrianC]

lol. When I think of Grimlock, I think of the dinobot from Transformers. "Me Grimlock am King!"

[guigui]

It is true that GrimRock is bad. Make a full team, try yourself in the endless corridor and post video on youtube.

[Aisha]

I think I'm the only one here without Sun Quan now. My Kali team could really use him; I have a mini version that I intend on using in the meantime, but it's not the same as the real thing.

Lu Bu is a great pull. It lets you start a Lu Bu x Red Sonia team, which will allow you to clear a large swathe of content. The challenge now is to fill the subs out with devils that have row enhance awakenings; ideally 5 or more dark rows, or 5 or more red rows.

In the end, I caved and pulled in this Godfest. I'm glad I did because I walked away with Verdandi and Liu Bei. This sets the tone for my next team, which will be Verdandi - G/R Liu Bei - G/D Zhuge Liang - G/D Zhuge Liang - Marine Rider/Awoken Ceres - Verdandi

[cave hermit]

So I'm assuming robe of protection won't work with multi hit attacks?

I was debating whether I was ready to take on a descended using a friend's odin when I realized that all the most damaging boss attacks were multihit.

Yes multihit sometimes break green Odin's leader skill, or resolve. Knowing that green Odin absorb 80% of the damage taken, you have to compute if the first hit will get you under 80% of your life bar. If not, then you may take the second hit.
