I love these 3x normals so much, you guys. So much.

[guigui]

Seconded. Currently farming tower to the sky to get mising drago fruits. Dont get them, but get +egg to almost finish my verdandi, currently +280 !

About the friend system. Say I accept a friend invite, and immediatly delete it. I imagine I remain in his friend list, but do I gain pal points when he picks me, even though he is no longer in my list ?

[Aisha]

When you remove a friend, you disappear from his list too. That applies to BFFs too. Reminds me that I'm going to have to prune my list to make room for Verdandi and Kali friends in the near future.

It's probably just me, but it feels like coin dungeons are affected by the 3x +Egg drop-rate too. I think I managed to get around 30 +Eggs in the past 36 hours. Three Pii sightings but no drops.

I played through the main mode of P&D Mario and I have started post game for Z. So far, I'm leaning towards liking Z more. Mario has more 2 color monsters and is more challenging, which I like, but Z has more modes and features and seems to picked up a bit late/post game. Mario brings back awakening and the skills work more like the mobile game where they occur after a certain number of turns, but the skills reset with each evolution and the gems for awakening are very tough to get. Z makes better use of in game currency and uses it for the Z-Box (the Z version of the rare egg machine that gives out items and monsters) and evolutions. Mario only uses coins for a lame mini game that only gives out single items per 100 coins. Z also has more in the way of optional dungeons (in the form of runes. There are even ones for daily dungeons) and modes.

Reco steamrolling through Hera-Ur with a Vegito team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvMj6jfXo7M

What's so special? The board is 5x4. There's also a Latent TAMADRA invade, which is nice to see that they made these available outside of the Monster Store in some capacity.

The new Indigo descend has a 7x6 board, which is probably a nightmare for row teams and a blessing for every other type of team.

[guigui]

Hum, currently trying to get a GZL or disciple Athena friend to complete my green team.
It seems that when you use a non friend, it disappear from your list and is replaced by a new one the next time you enter a dungeon.
Cant find a GZL friend though, is thre an efficient way to find friend with leader you want ?

There are four main places where people go to find friends:

- Friend Finder on PADX: http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/friendfinder.asp
- Find Friends on PADherder: https://www.padherder.com/find_friends/
- PAD Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleAndDragons/
- PAD Forum: http://puzzleanddragonsforum.com/forums/na-add-me.9/

For the first two, just send many invites can (disregard their requirements) and a handful will usually stick. Discipline Committee Member, Athena might be hard to find because she was a rare pull from a collab REM so not many people have her.

[guigui]

Thanks Aisha, definitely helps.

Good godfest is starting tomorrow, who will roll ?
I am not roll because I already have way too much to do learning how to use ABastet. I cleared endless corridor with her, and she indeed is a beast. My current team is called ’dupe green double tpa’
ABastet / Verdandi / Verdandi / GZL / GZL / ABastet
This one shots everything if I dont mess up with the orbs, and the Verdandi boards are just perfect : my GZLs deal up to 10 millions damage . . .each !

[Jon]

Nice work on clearing endless corridor, guigui. I can only assume that the game gives you a stone for clearing it, just like any other dungeon, correct?
If so, I think the achievement might be better than the actual reward.

That upcoming godfest looks pretty good to me considering I have exactly one of the featured cards (Ganesha) and would love to have Haku, Meimei, Yamato or Pandora. I wont be spending any money but I will probably roll twice the first day and save my last roll for the second.

Because I like to complain, I would like to add that skilling up my Echidna was probably the most tedious and frustrating thing I have done so far in PAD.
I missed the boat last time Scarlet Snake Princess was available so I made a point to pretty much run expert the whole time it was available last weekend. I didn't bother to count my runs but in the end I had 17 Naga's to show for it, even with the x2 drop rate on the last day. I managed 4 skill ups, leaving me one away from the max.

[guigui]

Clearing endless corridor unlocks 3 more dungeons that are variations of the endless corridor with restrictions. I think clearing them allgives the stone, big reward for 170 battles !

Bad luck for echidna skill,up, mine went smoothly as far as I remember. Keep,going, she is worth it.

Good luck for the rolls, let us know what you get.

[Vexorg]

I typically keep GZLs up on both my accounts (+297 for my main, around +260 on my alt.)

Main account ID: 384,491,214
Alt account ID: 331,991,229

[Necronopticous]

Although I would really, really love to have Krishna, Sarasvati, and Vishnu, I'm making a firm decision not to roll this godfest. I've been working hard to save up stones as a new meta goal since my Ra team is nearing completion and does not require anything else out of the REM. GungHo is really going to have to wow me to get me to blow stones on anything other than Star Vault at this point.

Anyone running the descended challenges? I've completed all but the very last stage (Dragon Rush) which I'm saving until after I complete the rest of the dragon knight coin dungeons. The current coin rotation with them is almost over, and they will eventually be removed from the game in their current form, meaning this is the last chance to get a stone out of each one. I highly recommend you guys grab these 5 stones now if you have not already done so!

[Aisha]

I finished Hera-Beorc (thanks to guigui's Verdandi), Sorceress, Sandalphon, Medjedra, Zhao Yun, Beelzebub, Athena, Goemon, and Two Heroes. If my Kali team were operational I could blast through Noah and maybe be able to do the rushes, but it's still far from ready. Zeus-Vulcan and Diagoldos are chores, so I tend to avoid them.

As for this Godfest, I'm not going to pull. I have 12 of the 20 featured pantheon gods, and except for Perseus I don't really want any of the ones that I don't already have. A third Meimei would be cool, though. The cards I really want are dark Kali, green Valkyrie, and a duplicate Liu Bei, and I can try for them some other time. Besides; all of the toy dragons, mystic knights, healer girls, and golems are going to be removed from the REM in the future (they already have been in JP) so I'm thinking maybe it's better to just save stones until then.

[Kaiser]

I have officially reached rank 50 on P&D and I became best friends with guigui (his Verdandi is seriously broken for midgame which I am going through), I'm gonna roll twice on this godfest and let you guys know what I rolled.

[guigui]

Glad to see my verdandi helps some of you. Ill be sure to’add Vexorg to my friend list.
I cleared both challenges descended that give woodpy to feed ABastet. Will try some others today.

[Vexorg]

I'm in the process of developing my Verdandi as a somewhat less troll-prone farming lead (the 80% thing on GZL can be a pain sometimes.) I've already found I can clear Thursday Mythical with a Verdandi-led team without too much trouble, haven't tried doing a lot of descends though.

[Kaiser]

So the first godfest roll was a Cerberus Rider, i'm mixed, maybe you guys can find an idea to use that one (he has a skill that inflicts 99 damage on 1 enemy wtf every 7 turns wtf?), i'm waiting with the last two rolls till tomorrow unless I get more magic stones till tomorrow.

[guigui]

Cerberus riderlooks good.
The main attract of this guy are his two TPA awakening. At max level, he will deal 2000*1.5*1.5=4500 damages if’you’match four dark orbs.
Also, his leader skill is pretty good at your rank, especially considering the fact that his active has 2 turn cooldown at max level, which can be pretty hard to obtain.
Finally, his active only deals 99 damage, but it ignores defense, allowing to one shot annoying things such as mystic mask, dublits, tamadras, etc...
Check the infos on padx by yourslef, all in all, I think it is a good roll for you and yoj should first focus on getting him evolved, then awakened, then leveled to get massive damage.

Sometimes you'll encounter enemies that have very high defense and very low HP, and they'll typically kill you after a certain number of turns while making you miserable with binds and orb changes as you try to chip their HP down. School Council President, Lucifer is an example of such an enemy. Defense-ignoring active skills like Cerberus Rider's will do as written and often kill these enemies outright. Cerberus Rider is situationally useful so it's good to have something like him in your repertoire.

He also has two TPA awakenings, so if you can fit him in a team then you'll be pretty happy with his damage output.

Alright thanks for the explanation and yeah I was able to fit him in my team, i'll give you an impression of him (I did level him up quite a bit to make sure he's efficient) when I try him out properly and find a way to awaken him.

[guigui]

Evolvong him should not be that hard, do you have a dub mythlit ?
Awakening him requires tamadras, you should have the 10 ones gungho gave two weeks ago.

I got few tamadras but I don't remember getting 10, 5 max, and they went on the leader I think. As for dub mythlit no I don't have it, neither Dub-elemit and the violet demon mask, i'll have to farm them all.

[guigui]

Keep tamadras to awaken the two tpas on your rider if you plan to use him, you wont regret it.
The hardest material to get for you is dub mythlit, can you clear friday expert ?

Getting a green odin friend and using the active of your rider to kill big defense ennemies might work. Be sure to put every double attribute monstr you have on your team. Ill put my green odin up for today, but unsure it will help since he is not evolved.
Method :
- stall when you can on small lits to get odin and rider actives ready
- match as many color as you can, big defense ennemies only take 1 damage per color, but only have 10 hp
- beware of synchroed monsters, take one out before they attack
- always be at max hp when attacked to have green odin absorb damages
- be praying for dub mythlit to drop at last floor

[Kaiser]

Yeah I just beat it using your odin and didn't get the dub-mythlit unfortunately, will try again later today.

[cave hermit]

Just rolled 3 times:

Got a grimrock (because this game is determined to give me a monster box of nothing but Grimrocks)
Got a Kurone, which is apparently a decent enough sticker girl, and a second Perseus.

[guigui]

Good job on clearing friiday expert kaiser, you cant imagine the number of dub mythlits youll need in this game !
Kind of loling at your rolls hermit, hope getting grimrocks does not underwhelm you as much as it used to.

[Jon]

After getting stomped repeatedly by Thursdays Mythical early on I kind of forgot about it. I probably shouldn't have because I ran it yesterday for the first time in awhile and cleared it pretty easily with both a healer and devil team. I couldn't get the blue dragon fruit to drop that my Sun Quan desperately craves but there's always next week. I have pretty much given up the rare evo carnival giving me anything I need at this point.

I also rolled twice this morning and got Perseus and Karin. Nothing I was angling for but I'm still pretty happy. Karin in particular looks pretty damn good and her superior ultimate requires a devilt which I actually have on hand.

It looks like we'll have a new descend come up tomorrow starring carbuncle enthusiast Aamir. Dungeon looks like a pain in the ass for my teams but I will probably give legend a go at least once.

[Aisha]

I'll be farming Aamir all weekend. I really like the new utility he brings to dark teams, but the cool-down on his active skill requires a lot of work to be brought down to reasonable levels.

[Vexorg]

The mythical daily dungeons seem to be one of those things you can either farm all day or you're nowhere near, but typically you just figure out one day that suddenly you've got a good farming team. For quite a while I was using my ROdin with my old mono-red team to clear Thursday mythical on my alt. I was able to do it, but it was more trouble than it was worth half the time. Eventually I tried it with my Ronia team and found I could farm it pretty reliably there. I think I spent 5 or 6 stones on it after that, but have both my Ronia and Bonia max skilled now (and I think I've got about 20 green fruits sitting in my box still...) I hadn't really tried it on my main because GZL doesn't have a good way to get under 80% for the damaghe multiplier, but I was able to do it pretty easily by using Verdandi as my lead with a similar team.

[guigui]

Jealous about the 20 green trifruits here. I Need them to skill Verdandi when the skill rotation comes, but only have 2.
This saturday for me will be the day I finally get that yellow jewel from farming satan descended, ABastet will cheese that no RCV dungeon !
