Title: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Brehvolution on July 02, 2013, 02:57:26 PM
I'm very surprised there isn't a thread on here considering the praise it gets from The Cruncheons crew.

Anyway, I made the leap last night and have found it pretty addicting(just one more dungeon). I have some questioned for the more experienced distinguished gentlemen of the Bore.

When fusing monsters, is it best to fuse with the same color or does it matter?

Is party diversity important or should you always put the best you have out there?

If anyone has some strategy they like to share, that would be great.

fuse same with same for 150% XP

at first you'll have to use what you have but very quickly you should try to focus on a one-color team

don't die

leaders give you their leader skill

you need friends, you cannot win without friends. you need their leader skill as well.

Game is hot shit, probably the best game I've played this year

My problem is that I'm trying to catch em all and not focus on one team; then again as far as the fire-water-earth trinity goes, if you went all in on one of them it seems to me you'd be boned when trying to clear a dungeon that your team is naturally weak to.

Pro-tip: grind the shit out of the weekend tricolor dungeon for level/evo funds for the week. 

Further pro-tip: this site is your friend http://www.puzzledragonx.com/ Learn when the metal dragon and Pengdra dungeons are gonna be available for you, and then grind those to get power up materials for your team.

You don't need to cultivate them or anything.  When you start a dungeon, you can take a long one extra dude; either someone you're already friends with or someone that's been active recently.  I have literally not bothered to communicate with anyone in this game, just send friend requests to new people as you clear new areas, they'll accept and you've got a friends list, bam.

Also- DON'T USE YOUR MAGIC STONES TO BUY MORE STAMINA, AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING.

Save them bitches for the rare machine.  That's how you're gonna get really good new monsters initially.  Might want to expand your monster box with some stones here and there if you're a special fellow-lord like me and can't let go of any of your monsters. :fbm

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: ToxicAdam on July 02, 2013, 04:17:26 PM
The secret to the early part of the game is get a really good friends list (with leaders that kick ass) and abuse them.

Try to find friends that have Ancient Dragon Knight (ADK) as their leader and then load up your team with all the dragons you have. You can outdamage most levels early on.

When it gets tougher, you are going to want to shift to more healing. So snag any friends that run Siren or Amaratseu (sp?) as their leader.


The game is a marathon, not a sprint. So, don't try to do too much in one day and don't get down on the game if you seem like your not getting anywhere.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

Magus, I don't  own a phone, but you can download the PAD apk online and play that way. The only downside is that you will have to manually update each time a new version comes out.

Is there any site that has a trading forum, or friends forum where you can search out people who have certain monsters as their leaders?  I need to find a bunch of people who have Vampire Lords as their mains, as I've finally evo'd my Thanatos and got a Mystic Dark Knight to drop, so now Team Dark is in full effect for me.

A google search for "puzzle and dragon forum" was pretty helpful.  :derp

I got to a point where I felt I couldn't do anything to move forward. Maybe my team setup was bad. I dunno. So I deleted the app and restarted from scratch. The egg gods were much more generous this time around. So much so that I have multiple teams, whereas that wasn't the case my first trip through.

Great game though. I got a co-worker totally addicted.

I probably should have started over, but I ended up with a half-way decent all dark team.  Thanatos, Lilith, Chaos Dragon Knight, Hattori Hanzo, Vampire Lord, and a bunch of Keeper of Rainbows now.  The problem is that in order to seriously start taking down these tougher dungeons, I need a Lucifer- that way I can double up my 2 x hp & rcv, and have double morning star critical attacks.

There's two Lucifer's correct? (all game sites are blocked at work, so I can't check)

If I wasn't going out of town, I'd be tempted to re-roll during the increased dark monster period at the rare egg machine over the next week.  Well, if I wasn't going out of town and hadn't already pissed away like $60 on magic stones for this playthrough.  :fbm

I'm starting to get pissed off at this game. I play on my phone and a Nexus 7. Every time I restart, I hit a wall in Fire Forest Nerva.
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/dungeon.asp?d=15

Between the 2 devices, I have gotten to this point at least 10 times. I do the daily dungeons that I have enough stamina for though I fail in many of the intermediate ones.
Most of my monsters are at max level even though I have 40 pieces of evo material. I'm always missing something.
I really don't have faith enough to buy stones that that will fix my problem.
It's clearly something wrong with me though.
Sucks to suck.

That's level I'm on. Specifically "Explosive Fire Dragon" The last dude has hella health. I'll probably beat it tomorrow when I can use one of my friends Archangel Lucifer. I've gotten this far with a mixed team, my two strong dudes are dark, then I have my leveled up starting fire guy, and leaf dude and a water dude. One of my skills turns light tiles into dark so if I use that or use an Archangel Lucifer, all the tiles do work for me.

Triple post action!

I think what's really helping me is working on being able to manipulate multiple tiles into combos or megas in one turn by dragging a tile around in loops and such.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Brehvolution on August 15, 2013, 01:21:10 PM
That's the whole idea. Later in the game, you won't do any damage unless you get 4 combos from what I hear.

It's got to a point where my helper has to be giving me life in some way. It isn't worth playing otherwise.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CatsCatsCats on August 15, 2013, 03:04:37 PM
Yeah. When I first started playing I would set up my megas and combos over multiple turns, took me a while to grasp that I could use little loops to drag other tiles around. :-[
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: ToxicAdam on August 15, 2013, 04:09:25 PM

Another tactic is to bring along damage mitigators as leaders. If a level is pre-dominantly a certain color, you can make it a whole lot easier by halving the damage they dish out.

The grand daddy of all damage mitgators is Odin. If you can bring an Odin helper + healer you can make most of the early levels very easy.

Considering that I've spent a bunch of time playing the game, and will continue to do so now that I can proceed through the endgame, $90 on the game isn't that outlandish.  I'm pretty sure I know people who have spent more. 

But yes, welcome to the future and shit.

I think it's crazy to spend 90 bucks on a game like this, further enforcing that this model is good, which it isn't.

You say that MMO's pray on the weak, but nothing prays on the weak of mind like this setup. At least MMO's are honest about the costs.

That's just a dumb argument.  Its somehow ok to pay $60 for BioShock Infinite, which you can beat and be done with and have nothing to ever do with ever again in 12 hours, but a game with deeper gameplay and systems like PAD is somehow evil because it's "technically" F2P but has microtransactions?  You'll notice I didn't include mmos in this example, as they aren't games. 

Grouch- I give no fucks.  Again, I know people who have spent more money on this game, and it's not like the game is shit.

How is this grindfest where you spent 90 bucks so you could have some dragon so you would have to grind less more of a game then mmo's?

This is Diablo all over again where you are defending a game based on how much you invested in it, this time money AND time.
Look Triumph this is a simple hamster wheel designed to make you fork over ridiculous amounts of cash so you can keep running on that wheel. I'm pretty sure you see the pattern as well where you get trapped in these games and invest way too much to get some arbitrary loot no one really cares about.

In the case of a lets say Bioshock Infinite (which I don't care about) you get lots of production values and the 60 bucks is the price of the ticket for the full experience, kind of like seeing a blockbuster Hollywood movie. In games like Fifa, Dota, COD, you actually get better and learn reflexes and skills, its competitive, here getting "better" is just more grinding, like in Diablo,  spending more cash and time without actually becoming a better player.

So it's not Hollywood gaming, it's not skill based gaming, it's not social gaming. It's just a money trap.
You can play whatever you want but just stop defending it all the time and bringing other real games down.

You already spent 90 bucks on a Pokémon rip off, why not stop now and just go out and buy Pokémon if you feel the need to grind and collect?

One of these days there will be a game that sucks you in so bad you will end up spending all your money on it and ending up a real fucking sad whale case.

This exact musing is why I recently began tracking down free-to-play "whales" to hear their stories. I found myself questioning just how many free-to-play game developers are building their games around the concept of pulling vulnerable players in, and rendering them addicted to some banal yet compelling activity that they feel they must spend large portions of their money on.

You're just buttfuckingly stupid. I know you're doing this mostly just to troll and fuck with me, so I'm not really gonna get into it too much, but duh their monetization model is retardedly evil and shit.

Portraying the gameplay as just an ersatz pokemon ripoff just once again proves (as if we really needed a reminder, but thanks again for providing it!) that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and I'd wager that you probably haven't played the game at all.  The gameplay is far deeper than that.

At it's heart, is the game a hampster wheel?  Yes, but it's one that has a pretty deep gameplay experience and is enjoyable.  If you're enjoying your time on the wheel, if it's a gratifying way to spend 20-30 minutes a day, then who gives a fuck?  If, over the course of spending a bunch of time playing the game, you fork over some money and your time/money ratio still has you making out better than movies or AAA "hollywood" games, then again, who gives a fuck?

I feel like I've pretty thoroughly addressed everything that needs to be addressed, for a reasonable human being.  You're not, though, so I'm going to fix my mistake and put you back on my ignore list.  I guess I forgot that you were a completely brainless, fucktard troll that thinks 13 year olds are responsible for their own forcible sodomy.  Thanks again for the reminder, and please eat a bag of leprous dicks.

For me, the other half of F2P games are like a meta-game. How much can I "win" without spending a dime. It adds another layer onto the experience.

--- /// ---

Shaming people for what they spend on F2P is stupid, though. If you evaluate a game by the dollars spent/versus hours played, you are almost never coming out on the losing end with F2P. People spend 60 dollars for a 10-15 hour experience in a console game, but if you spend 60-90 dollars for 100+ hours of enjoyment for a F2P game, you're a 'sucker'.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on August 20, 2013, 06:15:18 PM
You're a sucker because you paid money for that enjoyment when you didn't have to.  That's the part that makes you a sucker.

When I bought stones for PAD I generally did so because I felt the company deserved some reward for making such a great game and managing it in such a fair manner. A lot of people lump PAD in the same boat as other big mobile IAP games but how Gungho approaches their customers and how they manage the game is night and day compared to their peers. My money given was mostly out of patronage and the vain hope that other F2P games would manage their product and customer base like Gungho does.

I honestly feel PAD is the best monster collecting game ever made.  High skill ceiling, endless permutations of challenges, non-invasive social element and constant updates.

People just really get a burr up their ass about F2P. They just toss objectivity aside and launch into their predetermined rant. The same way I do with those fucking Mexicans.

It's not a foreign concept in our world to get entertainment for free and then pay for it at a later time. Public libraries, trial subscriptions, the guy with a guitar and a kazoo playing on the street corner. It's all kind of the same idea of rewarding someone or something that gave you a little joy.

Never played the game so I can't speak to it individually.

In general most free to play games are really free to demo. Some money needs to be spent to achieve a "normal" gameplay experience. I think most reasonable people understand this. That level of money I would assume is what determines the sucker factor. If you are spending multiple hundreds of dollars to play a game then yeah I would probably label you a sucker. If you are spending around the cost of a normal game give or take then that's probably okay in my book depending on how much time you spend on it.

I've easily spent on an mp shooter and DLC over 100 hundred bucks. But then with hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay time invested in that title with a lot of enjoyment. If you feel you need to spend tons of money just to play the game properly versus extending your enjoyment that's also a warning sign.

Of course speaking out of my ass as I've never played Puzzle and Dragons.

PAD's in game currency, Magic Stones, can be acquired by beating new content, which is available to you for free (the content)

In addition, they generally tend to give out 10 or so free magic stones a month.  So, if you're smart about things and plan stuff out, you can build up a bank of magic stones, then redeem them at the rare egg machine (spits out rare, powerful monsters) during an event when certain more powerful monsters are more likely to appear.

You could do that and not pay a nickel ever, and conceivably get a lot of top tier, awesome monsters.  But it would take a fuckload of time.  What these games basically ask you is this: do you value your time?  If so, you can take a shortcut and pay for magic stones.  What some people hate about PAD, I guess, is that the rare egg machine just gives you a CHANCE at something awesome.  It's random, so you could get something underwhelming. 

So, basically I'm gaming's greatest monster ever (WORSE THAN HITLER) for throwing some money at this game.  FUCKING INHUMAN I TELL YOU.

I wouldn't call someone an idiot for spending a couple bucks on F2P.  $90, though?  If Andrex said he spent $90 buying frilly hats in Animal Crossing, he'd never hear the end of it.

Do those frilly hats have any sort of gameplay implications?  Do they allow him to do new things, employ new strategies, and tackle content in a different way?

I'm not saying I'm not a sucker.  I'm saying there are levels of suckerhood, and mine is pretty low in comparison.

I think some free to play games are designed in a very deceitful and disingenuous manner. Some of those do make me angry/sad at the people who fund them because it just causes more of them to sprout up and worm their way into nearly everything including legit franchises.

But I recognize my anger/sadness is going to stop people from spending that money. I think its more about calling about the worse cases of these and letting people know.

Once again this isn't aimed at Puzzle and Dragons, as I'm not familiar with it. 

But I do get Oscar's point that some people are very preachy about a lot of stuff and this sort of free to play stuff can easily get gross enough in certain cases to merit some relative preachiness.  Whenever I see "best value" spend $90 dollars on 15,0000 coins in some free to play title, I get a little annoyed.

I would have teased him for playing a game I find fruity, for sure.  But check and see how many posts I have in the AC thread.  I generally reserve my shit-giving/trolling for announcement/sales threads.

Also, basically what TA said- does the fact that I've logged a shit ton of time into PAD prior to blowing $60 on it factor into it at all?  I mean, I'm totally willing to admit I'm a sucker, I just don't find the model as objectionable as others.  Maybe because I'm not attached to what's dying in comparison.

That's why this whole conversation is stupid. The entire gaming industry is built off preying on the weak willed and socially awkward since the first day someone figured out to put a high score banner across the top of the screen or gave you 9 seconds to insert a quarter to continue.

It also strikes me laughable that a subscription game like WoW (filled with the same kinds of carrot on a string mechanics and peer pressure) is legitimate, but a f2p game like PAD (which doesn't encourage competition or clans) is the bottom of the barrel in gaming. Give me a fucking break.

I think it depends on what and how much a game withholds. I don't know anything about P&D in this regard, but I don't mind F2P at all when it's just cosmetic stuff. Shortcuts to avoid grinding however are already sketchy, because the same people that demand the money make things take a certain amount of time. Yes, 'regular' games will waste your time as well (more than they should a lot of the time), but they don't offer you to skip that stuff for a bit of money. It feels insidious, even if the game would have worked the same even if it wasn't F2P.

Buying items or weapons or whatever else that's an element of the game is even worse. Striking a good balance there is so difficult. How much time/money do you have to invest to get what you want? Can you grind your way there and how long does it take?
Worst of all though in my mind are booster packsand variations thereof. That's just too close to gambling for me. I don't think I'll ever love a game enough to pay for a 'chance' at an item.

That's cool, Oscar. At least you are consistent.

I'm just coming from a place of someone who has played 1000s of hours of F2P games in the past 6 years. People are barking up the wrong tree if they are holding up PAD as an example of a shitty F2P model. I can see why people would assume that given its incredible success. But that's due more to the quality and depth of the game and not some secret, magic psychological voodoo it casts on people.

There are literally thousands of other games from companies like EA, GREE and King.com that deserve the ire.

This game is totally playable for free, but you're bound to hit a wall where you're waiting for the right rare egg event (as I am) or having to grind to level/evolve and I guess that's where they're hoping you'll find it too tedious and dump cash into the machine. But with so many other ways to entertain myself on my phone I can't justify spending money on it. If you can, it probably just means you have more disposable money than I do. The only time f2p + microtransactions bothers me is in PvP games where some guy can come shit on you because he spent enough money. If the game is valuable enough to you to spend cash, have at it.

I think this the very crux of the argument. Lots of games offer a gambling style mechanic. Borderlands. Diablo. I think most gamers are alright if the tradeoff is your time. It rubs some gamers wrong if the tradeoff is your money. And especially how much money. Because the relationship in how you design that gambling mechanic when real money is involved invariably is going to veer towards screwing the consumer with bad/greedy devs.

Yes, exactly. Even if the game is 'objectively' worth the money, the amount you give is variable when random drops are involved. I imagine most people, once they're OK with paying the devs for their work, also hope to get something out of it at that point.*
If they let you directly buy what you want it could be the only time you ever put money into the game. But if you have to spin the wheel to get it, you might just be compelled to buy a bunch more tickets until you either get what you want or hit your personal spending limit, which will vary greatly. It's genius, but it's also devious.

*Maybe it's the other way around and the majority spend only a bit of money at that point, just to give something.

Yeah, pdx is down for a site update apparently.

PDX will give you a schedule for when certain dungeons are available... you want to find out when "metal dragon" dungeons are available, or the Pengdra Village dungeon.  Those are special dungeons that aren't terribly difficult and give feeder monsters as drops, which will give a lot of experience.  I wouldn't bother to level up stuff then feed it to other monsters- just seems like a waste of resources.  If you get another monster that's got basically the same skills as one you already have, but better overall stats, etc, then that's a time to think about feeding the lesser one to it.  Otherwise I wouldn't bother- sell or feed monster drops that you don't find useful.

Some dungeons have rare boss drops, yeah.  Check this (http://puzzledragonx.com/en/normal-dungeons.asp) for a list of what dungeons will give what drops.  Bosses only leave an egg rarely.  I've grinded like crazy in the Giants dungeons and only ever gotten two Titans.

The basic team-building strat is to use monsters of a single color, so your leader and friend leader will benefit the whole team (a popular arrangement gets you 4x attack, 2x HP, 2x healing).  Orb-changing monsters are at a premium for those sorts of teams.

PDX is a really great resource, and the Puzzle and Dragons forum has some pretty decent guides to ease in beginners.


For myself, I'm leveling my standard mono-Red team and hoping it'll carry me far enough to get some needed subs for a Kirin team.  Looking at what you need to beat to get Valkyrie, I can easily see myself hitting a wall.  Oh well, non-IAP or bust.

For my mono-dark team, I lead with my Lucifer, who I've evolved already.  He gives me 2 x HP & RCV for all of my dudes.  I've also buddied a bunch of other Lucifer users, so that way I get 4 x HP & RCV total.  I'm usually going into battle with over 40k hp, and I heal a lot when necessary.  I run a Keeper of Rainbow for his massive HP total, and his skill halves damage for 3 turns.  Then, I also have Hattori Hanzo, who has a very unique skill- he turns fire orbs into dark orbs, and a Chaos Dragon Knight, who can turn light orbs into dark orbs.  They make sure I'm usually attacking, and if I need to clear orbs to get more to drop, I clear water and wood orbs, since I can't change them and they have no usefulness to me.  Finally, I have a Lilith that I use because her skill poisons enemies, making it easier to grind them down.

The whole point of using this team is to take advantage of the two Lucifers skills- in exchange for setting my hp to 1, I can do a massive critical strike to a single enemy for about 300k of damage.  2 of those will take out a lot of bosses, and the rest of my set up- really high hp and rcv, ability to defend against dangerous attacks, poison enemies to gradually kill them, and change orbs so I'm continually doing damage- sets me up for a grinding playstyle where I kill a boss enemy all at once.

tl;dr- know your monster's skills.  To get ideas for tough dungeons, look at the dungeon on pdx and read up on the suggested teams.  That will give you ideas.

i don't get the point of mono color team

- can't use isis,horus or any of the norse god
- lot of the gem on board become useless
- screwed when facing strong color (i mean how do you deal with water dungeons with an all fire team?)

Yeah, a mono-color team doesn't take advantage of the Egyptian or Chinese gods, which rely on combos.  But they do benefit from Greco-Roman, Norse, Indian, and Angel leaders from the same color.  The idea is to put together a team where the monsters and their abilities work together.

The trade-off with mono-color teams is that a lot of gems become useless (except for combo bonuses), but that one color is now six times as powerful.  On my mono-red team, four of my monsters (counting Ares who I always pick as a friend leader) have the ability to change other orbs to red orbs, which keeps my team from being starved out.  The color weakness can be a real issue, though a high level mono team can usually just bust through it, on normal dungeons at least.  It's one reason mono-dark teams are so popular, since they're strong against light and weak against nothing.

Anyway, the point is that a mono-color team can be very strong well into the midgame (and longer if you're a cheater like Triumph and buy yourself a Lucifer), and have the benefit of being fairly easy to put together.

i've decied to restart the game after realizing bastet was kinda meh and that i was relying more on the good monster of my friend list than my own monsters but now i have spin that slot for like an eternity and nothing as good (or godly) as bastet came out :S

i guess worst case i can always redo it all when that godfest thingie rolls out?

Just do what I said- play as far as you can get and save all your stones until a godfest comes around.

yeah someone suggested waiting for a godfest before thinking of resetting but i'd rather restart now and spare myself the waiting time... of course i didn't think the machine odds would be this bad

how do you get more stones anyway? i tought you'd get 1 each day but apparently i'm wrong so i'm puzzled about what to do... i heard that you get them at "events" but that doesn't tell me much

They have promotions where they give you free stones every once in a while.  But, you need to be clearing content to get stones.

how many do you get per promotions... i guess enough for a single roll?

spoiler (click to show/hide)
optimistic guess
[close]

oh also unrelated to above but on average how many combo can you achieve? i get around 3 which is also what made using bastet so frustating as i was always 1 short but at this point i'm wondering if i'm just not putting enough tought on my moves
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on August 26, 2013, 06:08:15 PM
It depends.  Usually they'll be at least five days in a row, yeah.  Sometimes as long as 10 days in a row. 

Early in the game though, you should be clearing all sorts of content and getting stones.  You get one for each dungeon you clear, including easy shit like Metallic Dragons and whatnot.

I've got some game with combos, but that's not the way I've structured my team, so I don't need to fuck with it too much.  But if I need to, I can usually get a 5-6 chain combo without too much hassle.  Remember there's no time limit until you touch an orb.

I didn't even bother rerolling, then again I rolled during a godfest through serendipity and got my Chaos Dragon Knight. Considering doing an all dragon team to have some variety of color but still stack bonuses.


Based on the last times they've had a godfest according to pdx, there'll probably be one fairly soon. I got 5 magic stones I've been hoarding :hyper

i've been doing some roll here and there but nothing,it's impossible to get a god,i wish people would have told me what astronomical luck i had when i pulled one on the third roll even if it was a sort of half-assed god or that they would be balanced better so i wouldn't have been tempted to find a better one in the first place

Would really, really like to take that dungeon down.  Getting the blue heartbreaker would complete a decent mono-blue lineup, and getting the green one would be really nice for a Kirin team.

nah it's more like since the first pull is free,you can pull infinitely until you either start throwing insult at the game or the game decide to give you a super rare monster... anyway the best thing to do is this,see this guide

http://pad.wikia.com/wiki/Valuable_Monsters

try to get something that is at least 3+ star in the guide... if you don't have the patience (and i almost lost it) even settling for a 3/3.5 monster is a good idea... if a monster that isn't on that list or is on that list and doesn't have at least 3 star pop out delete the game memory and re-do the tutorial again

Aside from Solar Deity Apollo, they are very worthwhile starter gods.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 03, 2013, 01:04:17 PM
it's not like apollo is bad,it's just that finding light monster is a pain... you can try playing some more and gather enough stone for another pull and see if you get either valkyrie or verche (they are light monster that make light team more friendly by changing stuff in the board into light orbs) and then try again if you fuck up

later in the game you get special penguin that gives lot of XP but the only common variety are fire,water and wood so leveling up light monster is hard too

i'm keeping a light team even tough it's not recomended because somehow i got valkyrie and another one of the super rare light pulls... coincidentaly he makes for a very good buddy with the mon i'm using so if you decide to keep it add me :lol

Does the Pal machine work exactly the same way as the Rare Egg Machine?

And thanks for all the help magus. I think I'll just stick with Apollo for now. I already have almost enough for two pulls, but apparently I should wait for this godfest thing? My name is Cajole, btw, guys.

No, pal egg mostly shits out garbage. There is a chance for useable monsters though. I've gotten a couple level 30's from it.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 03, 2013, 03:37:21 PM
the best thing that the pal machine pops out are the ripper/resist dragon,these are dragon which come with a fixed damage skill and a leader skill which cuts in 30% the damage of their kind received and by 50% when fully evolved,they make decent filler while waiting for better monster... so far i have the earth one,the water one and the light one

then it can also pops devil,these are guys who completly suck at everything except attack,their attack is amazing and can reach godlike level

supposedly (but i never seen it happen so far) it can also pops out golem (huge hp but meh everything else) the healer girls (a bunch of monster with healing capability and high recover... the red one has a skill that delays enemy attack and the blue one has a leader skill that give you back tons of HP when fully evolved and the black one has the same skill as neptune but suckier stat so she can work as a gimped version of neptune) and the red and black heart converter (decent all rounder,has a skill that turns heart into their own color... the valkyrie i was mentioning earlier is the light heart converter) one of the reason people says that red and black are easier to build IS because the red and black heart converter can be gotten from something that isn't the rare egg machine or some super hard optional dungeon

lastly during event (like right now) there is a chance it will give you pengdra or metal dragon,these suck but give tons of XP when feed... maxing a pengdra only takes 2,400 XP but feeding it to a monster give 6,000 back (9,000 if same color) if you evolve the pengdra then you get a whopping 30,000 XP per penguin

metal dragon also appear during specific time of the day for one single hour,there is really no way to know when other than to check that fansite creepy posted a while ago

apparently one of the super hard optional dungeon has a mon which puts + on sphere and each sphere you destroy with a + add 6% which mean that pulling that one would add 280% damage and then with the skill i use you would hit for a grand total of 420% damage if my math isn't failing me

I ran w/ lucifer lead, rainbow keeper, siren max skill, a high skill CDK for orb velocity and burst damage on early floors, and a lilith for neptune. Lucifer friend of course.

I am fairly low rank for descendeds (I don't play everyday) so this was the best I could put together. Would much rather run something faster but this is super safe provided you match well on Hera and have a max skill Siren.

edit: my everyday team is isis and good dudes. mindless slaughter, fastest clears of easy content possible.

i wish i could kill whoever decided to make tower of giants half of stamina for weekend because sure,it's abusable as a grinding tool but it's also INCREDIBLY boring... i've jumped to rank 50 to rank 58 and i'm almost at the point where i can use both thor and baal and keep a semblance of an actual party but boy was it the most boring thing ever

... the funny thing is that i wanted to go up to 70 (as that hit the sweet spot where i can use all of my team with no compromise) but at this point i'll probably start chewing off my arm before that happen

Heads up- The Scarlet Snake Princess dungeon is live tomorrow, which is one of the few ways you can get Nagas to drop.  The final evo form of Naga is Red Empress Echidna, which is pretty fucking indispensable in later game dungeons.  If you have one, it's still worth it to grind the fuck out of that dungeon all day tomorrow, because you're going to want to try to skill your Echidna up to max so the cooldown on her skill (which is what makes her so useful) is as low as possible.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 09, 2013, 12:29:03 PM
are there party that run 2 echidna or more? i understand skill up and all but tomorrow is RK day too and i really really need one for my thor so i was thinking of doing one and one

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on September 09, 2013, 12:31:39 PM
The thing is, you'll be able to do the RK dungeon any Tuesday.  Echidna dungeon is a random occurrence that doesn't happen often.  I need two dark keepers to evolve my new Hera, but I'm gonna grind nagas all day tomorrow.

Also- if you ARE skilling up an existing naga/echidna, DO NOT try until there's another 2x skill chance event.  That's just a waste.

I should also add that I have the following monsters if anyone ever needs to use them for leaders, just let me know- Dark Neptune and Ancient Dragon Knight.  Those are the only ones that come to mind as being kinda useful. 

I also got a 3rd naga to drop... out of 18 runs, but eh... Whatever.  Ratio is awful, hopefully I'll get a skill up or two if I'm lucky out of it.

Eight nagas in ~14 runs, one with a +, one that dropped when I was clearing Novice for the stone, and three other +eggs.  Spent no stones, spent no dollars.

Ended up with six in 19 runs.  Including clearing adept to get the stone, which I spent to replenish my stamina.  That's misleading though, because the last three dropped in my last two runs.  Four + eggs, all fed to my Echidna.  She's ready to evolve, just need to find another fucking mythlit.  Hope I get at least one fucking skill up outta this...

anyway i need a mystic mask but i don't have anything that can beat 60,000 defense... suggestions?

You'll start getting demon masks to drop in regular dungeons, don't bother farming that. 

Yeah, you need to be a bit higher level to probably do tougher dungeons.  I'm spoiled because running dual Luci's gives me 40k+ health and massive RCV, so any damage I take I can just combo a couple of times with three hearts and I'm usually back to full.  Just keep up with PDX for daily schedules, check to see how tough monsters hit and try to evaluate what you can handle.  For a while I used a Thanatos in place of a Lucifer to run a mono-dark team so that I could tackle tougher content... lots of people evolve "ripper" dragons (the common slang for a fully evolved lil dragon) because it gives you 50% resist to that element in order to tackle tougher dungeons.

The masks have huge defense but just 18 HP, so you can kill them with 3 attacks from a mono-color team.  The bigger issue is how hard they hit. For those dungeons you can actually put together a cheapo zombie team and beat them at really low levels, though you should probably just run the mask dungeon during an event that gives 2x drops:

1) Get an Ice Ogre as your leader, which saves you from being one-shot if you've got at least 70% of your HP.

2) Fill the other spots with sapphilits (the little blue ghost things).

3) Get a friend who has an evolved Siren (http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=202).  She heals 3 times her RCV stat any turn that you match orbs in.

The idea is to get a low HP team, so the Siren always heals you back up to over 70% of your HP, and you can't be killed by a single attack at that point.  The key is to store four blue orbs in the bottom corners of the board and just match orbs on the top half.  Be patient and match blue orbs that drop in the top half while keeping the ones in the bottom for later floors.

Always check when the enemies are due to attack.  If 2 attack on the same turn, you're done, so make sure to focus at least one of them down before that happens.  It's especially an issue on the last floor, where the Mystic Mask attacks every turn, so you have to kill it before one of the other masks attacks as well.  But if you've saved up those 8 blue orbs in the corners, should be no problem.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on September 12, 2013, 01:57:35 AM
If you're really early, there's not a lot of thought that goes into it- just blast your way through levels.  Gets tougher as you progress, then you'll actually have to start thinking to progress.

If you don't like grind-y games where you have a lot of different options as far as strategies go, you probably won't like it. 

Then again, you probably like pokemans, soooo  :jawalrus

no, i haven't been able to digest a pokemon game in over ten years.

i mean, i'll keep going til i can write a guide.  and i appreciate your mans's help, because he's very strong.  It's just that i always prefer to see the actual appeal of what i'm writing about.

as i said i like this because it combines puzzle and rpg element like puzzle quest but unlike puzzle quest this game is freaking hard and it feels like you are earning your progress,remember when you won every encounter by abusing deathbringer? in this game the equivalent of deathbringer leaves a small dent in the boss huge HP pool

there's no pleasure if you don't get your ass kicked at least once and the earlier dungeon are all quite easy even with the most chumpiest team ever and creepy monster is pretty strong all by itself so you probably won't start getting your ass kicked until castle of satan

is there a certain point where this picks up?  i'm admittedly not far, but i've done several dungeons and it's a real snoozer.  what am i missing here?  with so much love for it, there must be *something* i'm not getting.

A lot of the appeal is the standard OCD grind/loot cycle, obviously.  But there really is a point where your ability to advance doesn't depend just on how much time/money you've sunk into the game, but also on skill, especially orb-matching.  I've been really surprised just how much not restricting orb movement makes a difference.

Plus there are several viable approaches to team composition, and some of the harder temporary dungeons have restrictions on what orbs/monster combinations are allowed, and all of that nudges the player away from just riding one strong team all the way through the game.

But you really do have to grind for a while to get the monsters/XP fodder/max cost to get a coherent team together, and I think most players stay interested during the early game thanks to a steady stream of cleared dungeons, new monsters, and pulls on the Random Egg Machine.

it's an egg machine that give you one of these 5 monster

and yes apparently they aren't really good and are there for collection purpouse mostly or healer teams

also you should get your own verche too cajole,if you reached castle of satan there is a chance one of the mystic knight will appear,these are mon that turns the opposing color into their own color,like a mini version of apollo... currently you can find verche in the first castle of satan stage but i think i'll move (to either stage 2 or stage 5 i'm not sure how it works) tomorrow

Yeah, I'm still getting the hang of it (getting 4+ combos reliably) but I'm getting better at it. 

One weird thing I've noticed- I'm more precise with orbs on my phone than I am on the tablet.  Is this maybe because there's less physical space that has to be traversed?  Not sure, just something I noticed that was weird.

Gotta do the Weekly Mask Dungeon (I think it's Wednesday?) for masks, man. 

...that said I ran Castle of Satan in the Abyss like 20 times in the past 2 days trying to get 2 more masks for the other Hera I'm about to get and have only gotten one.

This week is gonna be cray for me- Doing another Hera Descended on Wednesday, then Zeus on Friday.

If they show up, they're gonna drop.  The only guaranteed keeper in the red/green/blue dungeons are those keepers though- dark/light keepers are random appearances in those dungeons.  ONE of either dark/light is guaranteed in the Rainbow dungeon.

i've been focusing on metal dragon dungeons (by the way i really hate how you have to conserve your stamina for them so the game turns into a "level up or progress" decision) and feed all of them to my unevolved black ripper and now he's all grown up and just waiting for a dragon fruit for that sweet 50% dark resist which is going to come really handy with rainbow keeper

the rest of them are going to verche who's already level 58,i think i'll level up the holy dragon for a bit too and then maybe i can finaly start thinking about tackling higher level stuff especialy if i end up evolving thor on friday

I actually like the resource-management aspect of the game, where they rotate dungeons and balance the benefits so that you have to think fairly hard about how you want to spend your stones and stamina.  Granted, it's probably only that way to push people towards buying extra stones, but still.

right now there is some festival thing were the 5 most popular (and therefore most usefull) monster have higher chance to pop out of machine (by the way those are lucifer (active skills deal 300,000 damage,passive double defensive abilities for all dark monster) horus (passive gives you 4x attack when 4 different color attack) kirin (like horus,but it's 5x attack and all color have to attack except dark) byakko (3,5x attack when dark,fire and water attack all at once) and hades (active skill deal % damage translating into huge damage when it comes to high hp bosses) i tried rolling once but i got squat nothing and would be super happy to try again given the chance so i'm pretty sure that is going to push people towards buying extra more than any stamina bar

Stamina definitely drives stone purchases, especially in the late-game.  If you check out results threads for temporary dungeons on the P&D forum, you'll see people burning through a dozen or more stones so they can load up on some particular loot.

Once money players get to a certain point, pulls on the REM aren't quite as big a deal (unless there are new gods), compared to being able to mass farm Hera and skill-up a monster with the gravity ability, or stockpile super king jewel dragons, so you can instantly bring a new monster to near-max rather than wait a few weeks for them to be useful in a hard dungeon.


Triumph, what are you doing with your +eggs?  I've been stockpiling them, so I've got a bunch of monsters that are +6 or +18 in one of the stats, waiting to feed eventually (because it's waaaaaaay cheaper than adding one egg at a time to the monster you're trying to boost), but I'm wishy-washy on where they're going to end up.  I'm still mono-red for the first part, so dumping them into Freyr would make some sense, and help anyone who uses him as a friend leader, but I'm probably going to either put them into Echidna (likely to be in all sorts of different teams) or Kirin (cause Kirin!).
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 21, 2013, 08:04:02 PM
i've been dumping them all on my thor who's like +13 i think?

anyway i've been making some good progress,got as far as temple of trailokya and still haven't hit a wall,at this pace there is a chance i'll start getting a glance at the final set of tech dungeon  :whoo

my only problem is a lack of good friend leader in my list,i have lots of apollo but they are all unevolved and the end result is that i barely break the 7k hp barrier,which makes for way too many close call... if it wasn't for all the burst damage i can do which often one shot the boss i doubt i would be making so much progress

what i'm saying is cajole,evolve your apollo,CHOP CHOP CHOP!

I'm basically tossing all of my + eggs into Lucifer right now, who is lv. 81.  I have over a million gold and give no shits about the cost- grinding stuff has given me plenty of gold, so that's not an issue, and I *know* that I'm going to want to max him out with + eggs (aka "297" him) since he's so useful for later game dungeons.

Basically, you should dump them into monsters you know you're going to use, so Echidna for sure qualifies, and Freyr too probably since you can always run mono-red farm teams for evo mats.  Kirin too, obviously.  The one thing someone pointed out is that if you have multi-colored monsters, dump your +atk eggs into them, since if you trigger both colors, you'll supposedly get pluses to both.  I hadn't thought of that.

Being that I'm mostly going to be running mono-dark teams late in the game, I'm prioritizing + eggs as follows:

1) Lucifer
2) +hp/+rcv for various dark subs (Abyss Neptune, Hera, Hattori Hanzo, CDK, Duke Vamp)
3) +atk for Neptune (dual colored) and then Echidna

You might have already seen this, but this is a useful thread for + eggs:

I'm looking at being able to set up two more teams with stuff I can farm the next time the dungeons happen: a Valk healer spike damage team for farming higher level shit (because grinding shit with dual Lucis takes for fucking EVER) and a blue team after I can get a Berserk from Two Heroes.  The Blue Team will be my multi-colored team, because even though it will be mono-blue it will have multi-colored dudes for every element, and since I'll be running Gabriel, it will work a lot like the mono-dark dual Luci team.  But seriously, "mono-blue" covers all other colors now: Gabriel for light, Abyss Neptune/Hera-Is for dark, Earth Rending Emperor Siegfried (Berserk's ultimate evo) for red, and finally now with the ultimate evo for puzzdroid, green.

the number gets crazy high as you get further and further in the game so you get to the point where you have to abuse any advantage you can get,valkyrie is a monster that gives x3 attack to all monster of the healer subtype which translates into hitting 9 times harder if you are using two of them... there are other way to get such a high bonus (even higher!) but valkyrie is the easiest... also some monster have two elements,a main element where they attack full force and a sub element where they only attack with 30% of their total damage,for example right now i have a demon monster that is light/dark so he deals 30% damage with dark orbs even though he's a light monster

i'm not sure what would creepy do with a blue team,perhaps for tricolor dungeons? i have more or less the same problem but i'm thinking of building a fire team since i have uriel (he's a guy who boost the defensive capabilities of all fire monsters)
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on September 21, 2013, 09:38:33 PM
Yeah, tri/all color dungeons mostly.  I mean, you also have access to gravity (Hera-Is) and poison (Neptune) so you can do higher level descends and shit with that team.  It would be even more grindy than dual Luci though, as you don't have access to Morning Star'ing shit to death.

I really want to get a Valk team going though, like I said.  I don't have a spike damage team right now, so farming anything in the latter parts of the game takes me for evaaaaaar.

Post by: Himu on September 24, 2013, 03:47:03 PM
Just starting to get into this games mechanics. So let me get this straight, this is how you PAD?

- do dungeon
- get monster
- use monster as fodder to fuse ala SMT until your monster gets to Max level so you can evolve
- do higher tier dungeons, kick ass

???

How does stamina and stuff factor in? What are coins for? Anything I'm missing? Why do you hire friends to help in dungeons? What are friend points for?

I keep using monsters I don't want to as fodder to build up my Flamie.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Himu on September 24, 2013, 03:48:58 PM
I can't level up monsters without fusing?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on September 24, 2013, 04:31:48 PM
You feed monsters to other monsters to level up, and yes that's the only way they get better.  When they max out levels, often you can evolve them into better versions of that monster- ie, Valkyrie>Great Valkyrie>Princess Valkyrie>Warrior Rose, Graceful Valkyrie as shown on the bottom of this page:

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=225

It costs money to level up and evo monsters- that's what coins are for.  Stamina is limited because if you could just play forever I would have lost my job and failed out of school. (kidding) 

Friend points can be used to pull on the Pal egg machine- it craps out less useful stuff than the Rare Egg machine obviously, but there are events when it has better stuff in it sometimes.  Once you're friends with someone, you get the benefit of their monster's leader skill, which can stack with your monster's leader skill.  So, while your Valkyrie can pump the attack of all your healer monsters 2x, if you have a Valkyrie friend as your pal, you get 4x multiplier to attacks instead.

What else?  Oh, monsters have skills- and THOSE can be leveled up too.  Notice the skill section on the above page for Valkyrie?  She has a list of monsters that, when fed to her, have a chance to increase her skill level, which decreases the cool down on it, making her more useful.

So, lots of shit going on.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 24, 2013, 05:24:04 PM
I don't understand +eggs.

you fuse them to another monster and they give a very small boost (+10 hp,+5 attack or +3 recovery) to that monster... so early in this game there is no reason to think much about it as it only start making a difference when it really starts to add up (50 attack + egg translates into an extra 250 attack for example)
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on September 24, 2013, 05:28:05 PM
If you have a good lead monster, it's a good idea to always invest your + eggs into it- when people are using friends, your monster will get chosen above others if it has +eggs on it.  Pal points CAN be useful.

Just run a zombie team. Get a blue ogre, DON'T LEVEL IT.  Get 4 blue carbuncles or blue sapphlits and run those as your subs.  You're going to need a mermaid friend so that you can heal from matching orbs.

Now, you're gonna get one shot.  A lot.  But, the ogre's resolve leader skill will leave you alive- AS LONG AS YOU WERE ONLY HIT BY ONE ENEMY THAT ROUND.  That's the important part- if you get hit by more than one enemy you're borked, it only saves you from the first shot.  And, also important- IT ONLY WORKS IF YOUR HP IS >70% of your total.  That's why you want to have a very LOW hp max total, which is why sapphlits are great- they have like 10 hp.  I like carbuncles better because they can heal if you need it.  Basically, you need to heal back up to more than 70% of your health each round to make sure you're not gonna get killed for reals.

This works because those monsters all have stupidly high defense but really low hp totals. So, even though your attack is puny, it's still hitting for 1 per monster.  3 blue orbs = 6 damage.

Now, the important part is this- if you notice monsters are going to attack in the same round, YOU HAVE TO KILL ONE BEFORE THEY BOTH DO or you're gonna burn a stone.

Close to evolving Cu Chu, and looking to put together a 9x balance team of heartbreakers and mystic knights for farming.  Being green-heavy would help with farming Ocean of Heaven, too, for those plus eggs (I can get through it with mono-red, but I'd like something that could blast through it quickly and somewhat mindlessly).

the poring tower event is basicaly just to skill up valkyrie and the other heartbreakers right?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 28, 2013, 08:34:05 AM
Evolving puzzdroid into it's ultimate evo takes a fucking metric shit ton of xp and evo mats.  It's not worth it until you're way later in the game.

JD- who is your lead monster?

I probably use Neptune the most, but I've lately just been rotating half-damage resist monsters based on what I'm fighting, and using other people's Lucifers to boost Chaos Devil Dragon and Vritra. 


Hopefully I'll be luckier on Tuesday and be able to evolve Venus.  I will not be able to evolve Vritra until I beat Wednesday Expert a few more times and get that second mask.


Buuut, of course I need to realize that to get anywhere in this game I'll have to be in it for the longhaul, so I should probably just be patient, grind out tons of cash this weekend, keep grabbing jewel dragons, etc.

i've run RK 4 times and every 4 times a dark keeper dropped instead of a light keeper,i really hope a good dark leader pops out of this godfest just so that i can have more option and an actual usefull way to use all these dark keeper's

anyway as i was saying... i don't want to keep poring in my inventory waiting for the 2x skill up event and the only heartbreaker i could skill up in any case is valkyrie,is poring tower still worth it?

Post by: Human Snorenado on September 28, 2013, 08:39:56 AM
Not if you have limited inventory space and are non-IAP, no.  It will come back.  I'm grinding the fuck out of it on my main account because I have Berserk, Highlander, and will have 2 Valks to skill up after this event is done with.

2x skill chance is active now, btw.  At least in 'MURICA.

Pulled 4 times, got Minerva.  She any good?

her active is just one of the many deal damage skills that aren't as good as the really good deal damage skill,the leader either cut fire/light damage in half or fire/dark damage in half... there is one super hard dungeon that is fire/dark so i guess you could use her for that

alternatively she either gains balanced or devil subtype and you can use her as filler in a mono-type team

So, no, then.

the "here's the best monster avaiable" event was last week (i tried to pull twice and got nothing) but basicaly expect to hear the word good only when it comes to

1. lucifer - biggest damage skill in the game,super usefull defensive leader ability
2. horus - 4x damage leader skill if you match 4 different color
3. kirin - 5x damage leader skill if you match all color except dark
4. other chinese god - 3.5x damage when you match 3 specific color... the dark one is the most popular as dark monster have lot of usefull skills
5. hades - only REM monster that has gravity (deal damage based on percentage,deals a shit-ton of damage when monster start having up to millions of hp) you can get other gravity monster but they all come from their super hard dungeon

freyja is basicaly thor but for wood monster,i was disappointed when i got her because i don't really have a wood team but then i realized that when fully evolved she turns into an healer with decent stat and as i already have a bunch of decent healer monster maybe i will be able to find a use for her

michael double the defensiveness capabilites of wood team so ehy if you decide to build a wood team you have not one but two piece... the rest isn't worthwhile

since bastet is getting healer sub-type next month and a buff that makes her ability go up to 4x i'm thinking of building a team that is like

bastet - freyja - valykrie - king shynee - echidna

and maybe swap in or out siren (if/when i get her that's it) depending on the situation

Was lazier about running Echidna's dungeon this time, still managed to get 5 drops and 1 skill up out of it. 

Skill ups during this event:

Echidna: 1/5
Berserk: 1/13
Highlander: 1/11
Lilith: 4/9

Another godfest, another bunch of garbage.
Friend texted me: "Rolled four times this Godfest, nothing good."  An hour later: "Cleared a dungeon to get a fifth stone, did one more roll...  more dogshit."


I haven't rolled on the last couple godfests.  Granted, there's still a lot of REM-only monsters I'd like to have (Lucifer, Orochi, Horus, Ares, etc.) but I'm at the point where I can progress more by focusing on boosting the ones I do have, and starting to take down more special dungeons.

I don't really have enough stamina to justify spending stones to refresh it, but I did during Poring anyways, cause the heartbreakers are important for my Kirin team and Poring Tower doesn't come along too often.

Eventually got 4 skill-ups on Cu Chu, 3 on Siegfried, and 2 on Echidna (no stones spent for her dungeon).  Also got skill-ups feeding stuff to my machine golem and spare titan, cause TROLLING.  Didn't bother continuing to count how many Porings I fed the heartbreakers, cause that would just rustle my jimmies.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 02, 2013, 03:37:12 PM
I started a non-IAP account on my Nexus 7 and ended up with Valkyrie as a starter, which is perfect because you can farm all the shit you need for her team.  Which I have- I've got a King Shynee, Siren and Echidna now.  I used the 25 stones I'd saved up on the Godfest, because Athena and Ceres were potential rolls and they're both healer subtypes on their ultimate evos, plus there were some other good monsters that were potential leaders to get. (Green Odin in particular would have been dope)

Got a Neptune and four shit rolls.  Wah wah wah. 

There's no reason to roll for anything on my IAP account, because I have Lucifer. :jawalrus

i really want to start grinding ocean of heaven hard for all the xp and the mystic mask but i really don't have the hp for it

so i'm giving some xp to the blue ripper which i've ignored so far so that he can resist the damage,in the meanwhile i got 2 light keeper and used one to evolve verche,i think i'll use the other to either evolve valkyrie or the light ripper still not sure what to do (the light ripper gets more benefit from evolving but valkyrie opens a whole new team)

other than that i'm just focusing into evolving stuff,mainly the mystic knights which is a pain because everything requires a mystic mask or a dub mythlit

lucifer farming of goddess descended (Legendary) is this , right:

Lucifer lead
gravity user (Hera in my case)
gravity user (2nd hera)
some stat-stick, i.e. RK/Hades/Abyss Neptune
max skill siren
Lucifer friend
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 02, 2013, 04:53:22 PM
Generally speaking, yeah.  That's what I'm going with, although I haven't maxed out my Siren...  I'll probably be using RK over my Abyss Neptune since I don't think there's anything that needs poisoning, and I'm probably going to want to have an extra "oh shit" damage reduction button just in case.

There's a way to kill her on Mythical in one round with a dual luci team but it requires 3 gravity users and a healer, and I think one of the gravity users has to be Awoken Zeus since his gravity is 35% instead of 30%.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 02, 2013, 05:05:38 PM
Frag- might want to look into swapping Siren for Echidna.

edit: actually, thinking about that, you probably want to keep Siren.  You're not going to be one shotting Valk with that lineup, and in the long, grindy fight you're gonna have healing regularly will be more important.

Awakenings- anything I can reasonably farm with awakening skills, I'll farm when it's available to get the awakening skills on it.

Contra- just level her and evo her as fast as possible.  The next time the "Scarlet Snake Princess" dungeon comes around, run it as much as possible and save your naga drops for a X2 skill up event, then try to skill her up.

For a spike damage team (you still run Horus, right?) she's invaluable, as she'll give you 3 more turns to just beat the shit out of a boss with no fear of reprisal.  For descends, you might need to pop her skill more than once, hence the usefulness of skilling her up.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 03, 2013, 12:35:56 PM
Ugh, that took way too long and cost two stones, but Valkyrie get.

Frag- be prepared to grind that stupid fucking golem down if you don't take an Abyssal Neptune.  On the second stage, KILL ANY GOLD MASKS FIRST.  They can bind two of your dark dudes.  Happened to me but was able to deal with it.  Valkyrie got me twice- once on orb trolling while Siren was on cool down, didn't see any enough healing orbs for three straight turns, then the last time in between Morning Stars, I was at about 25k life and she hit me with Valkyrie Blade for 29k or so.

Up until Valkyrie I was really thinking that Echidna and Abyssal Neptune should have taken the place of Siren and RK... but I would have spent more stones from my stash if I didn't have Siren changing fire orbs to heal orbs, and I used RK to keep me alive once when I was getting healing orb trolled while Siren was on cooldown.  If the calculator is correct, Gravity+Gravity+MS leaves her at about 733,000 hp... if you Echidna then, you have 3 turns to HS her again and deal 135,000 or so dark damage before she heals.  Doable?  Not sure with no attack modifier.  Maybe I'll try it later... my main concern would be if it DIDN'T work, then I have to grind for 35 turns with no damage mitigation or Siren.

Post by: Fragamemnon on October 03, 2013, 03:23:57 PM
I avoided any Valk blade foolery completely.

Enter boss fight with all skills active.

Start fight with a gravity and a lucifer nuke. Heal up while she heals to full, puts up her shield, and hope you don't get unlucky binds. Use the other gravity after she heals.

Turtle for 35 turns until both nukes are back online. When Valk's shield countdown is at 1 on the screen, fire off both gravities and a lucifer nuke. Heal some on the next match (valk will not attack and instead refresh her shield), and then lolcannon her to death on the next turn.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 04, 2013, 01:05:16 PM
Any spike damage team, or even a 2-4-2 (hp/rcv/atk) non-red mono team.  If your main strategy is damage mitigation, by definition you're sacrificing attack power.  So, either go with a more aggressive (spike) or balanced (2-4-2) approach instead of the turtle team you've got now.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 04, 2013, 01:25:56 PM
a 2-4-2 team is what i'm already running everytime i pick a loki friend... i guess the best thing to do would be to switch to a wood based team,i have quite a lot of good wood monster (freyja,bastet,the wood noel dragon) but truth to be told they are all underleveled so i guess RK turtle it is

to be fair i'm doing OOH because

1) i need tons of mystic mask between evolving all the mystic knights and valkyrie
2) stage 3 has siren as a drop and i wouldn't mind having one

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 04, 2013, 01:29:18 PM
If you want a Siren, the more efficient way to go about it would be to run the 2nd stage of Sea Cave Mercury when it's got the bonus 1.5% drop rate

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 04, 2013, 01:37:42 PM
Work on evo'ing your Vampire and a Mystic Dark Knight.  Once they're on their final evo form they have decent enough stats, and their orb changing abilities will make Ocean of Heaven fly by a lot easier with a 2-4-2 team.

You've just got to make decisions and prioritize stuff :P

the thing that annoy me is that to progress with the game i started doing hill iris rainbow and what's the first thing that drops on my first visit

a dub-myth,out of thin air,with no 2x event or anything

anyway at this point i'll probably use the mask to evo and busty freyja and then start to work on a decent wood team and then maybe that team can do the ancient dragon or at least can make OOH less of a pain

oh and by the way you said you were a sucker with a box of 80? my box is almost reaching 130,everytime i add more box i feel like being stabbed in the back but if you want to keep a batch of gem dragon so that you can feed them to pengdra you absolutely need the space because you need to wait for thursday for the plants... my box at the moment is like "30 actual monster/40 dragons & pengdra's/50 evo material i don't want to discard" :fbm

I have toytops and a venus,so ECO collab stuff is literally overflowing my  boxes. I have a pile of Mystic Stone Knights for ADK skillups and am going to farm a pile of nagas and maybe a MFK or two once Legendary Flame Dragon goes to 2x. This is on top of the usual chaff from the pendgra cycle and the usual store of evo mats.

Stuff adds up.

What does the Pengdra even do?  Man there's so much to this game.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 08, 2013, 03:56:30 PM
You can evolve little pengdras into the big pendgras, which give 45k on color experience if I'm remembering correctly, which is pretty dope.  To do so, you need fuck tons of little baby metal dragons of the appropriate color and dragon plants, which are easiest to get either on the Thursday dungeon or on the weekends when Tower of Giants has a bonus drop rate (way easier on Thursday dungeon though, TRUST ME on this shit)

Frag- Yeah, I plan on farming the fuck out of Legendary Flame Dragon on 2x drop as well.  I actually consider myself LUCKY that I don't have anything to skill up from the ECO collab, because I don't want to fuck with holding onto shit until 2x skill up comes back.  I was kind of bummed that I only got 1 MSK knight to drop yesterday... now I only have two, so I won't be able to fully awaken my ADK as it stands, but oh well.

I'm currently running about 40-50 box spaces below my max, so I have some flexibility.  Plus, I think I have about 8 stones currently?  So, I could always toss some more box space onto there as necessary.  I've also got 20 little gold dragons still sitting in my box, waiting to be fed to light pengdras one day.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 08, 2013, 08:02:31 PM
What does the Pengdra even do?  Man there's so much to this game.

Once you evolve them, they're quite good XP fodder.

Pengdra + 2 jewel dragons of the same color + Dragon Plant = Evolved Pengdra, which gives 45,000 XP to a pet of the same color.


The popular/efficient thing to do is farm pengdra on Mondays, when technical dungeons have a 1.5% drop rate bonus (I think if you do the easiest level, you'll get more pengdras dropping vs. other stuff), farm dragon plants from the Thursday dungeon (especially during events, when there's a 2x drop rate bonus) or from Tower of Giants on the weekend when it's half stamina, and get jewel dragons from the hour-long dungeons when they appear (again, during events is better because it gives you a better chance of getting king jewel dragons).


The tradeoff is that these dungeons don't get you much in the way of XP for yourself.  So you have the option of either power-leveling some of your pets, or grinding a Normal dungeon (again, pick the ones with a drop bonus) to raise your account level and boost your max stamina/team cost and get +eggs.


...weighed against the OTHER options of trying to clear new content, or grinding temporary dungeons like the ECO collab that will give you skill-up material that you normally couldn't get otherwise.  Yeah, there's a lot of moving parts in this game.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 08, 2013, 09:02:05 PM
i tried doing the legendary flame dragon since the boss doesn't look harder than most of the stuff i've been fighting on high tier normal dungeon but it's the normal mob that gets me... if i go with a defense/attack mix i get my ass kicked because the devil all hit for 3k so 3-4 devil hits for 12k total every turn,and if i go full defense i basicaly deal no damage since they have more than 1000 defense... i guess water would make it easier but my selection of water monster really sucks ball's

i'm in no hurry to defeat the dungeon but just in case... suggestions?

my standard team is thor/baal/holy dragon/valkyrie/verche + either apollo or raphael friend

if i need to tank (having reached the last tier of normal i always need to tank) i simply use 3 rk,the black mystic knight,the appropriate barrier monster (basicaly the right ripper) and creepy lucifer

working on valkyrie so i can enter the 9x cool kid clubs

Post by: Mandark on October 08, 2013, 09:30:10 PM
Well, depends on how leveled/evolved everything is, but if you're having problems killing the demons before they whittle you down, might want to just wait a bit.  The dungeon's around for another week and a half, and will have a double drop bonus on the last day anyway.  Your team will naturally be a bit stronger at that point, and maybe your orb-matching will slightly improve, too.

I'm also not sure I can handle Athena's descend :-/

after the last round of evoing pengdra's

bastet - ready to evolve
freyja - ready to evolve
echidna - ready to evolve
valkyrie - stage 2 at level 46 with around 600.000 xp

and i still have a lot of metal dragon lying around,currently it's mostly mystic mask and dub-myth that i'm missing for evolution and busties... i also have 2 tamadra (think i'll use both on valkyrie when she get to final stage)
tomorrow is gold dragon day so plenty of occasion to get some XP for valkyrie and/or a king gold dragon to get king shynee

I pulled twice during the godfest on my non-IAP account... got another succubus and Archangel Lucifer.

So, now both of my accounts are basically the same- Valk/Lucifer.  Poooop.

This godfest was terrible, did not roll. Saving for Chinese/Japanese 2.0 mainly , but wouldn't mind rolling Demons , some of those monsters are much more attractive with Hera-Ur around assuming at some point we get skillup collabs (not likely).

i had enough stone for a pull but the only monster i was interessed with was lucifer (maybe amaterasu and raphael too?) and i already had 2/10 so i didn't want to risk and opted to save my stone for the next godfest (which i hope will be chinese/something)

my great valkyrie is up to 1,200,000 xp and i still have tons of pengdra to spare so really i'm all missing is those stupid mystic mask/dub myth

i'm not sure what japanese 2.0 would interess me,ame no uzume active is lame and the leader is hard to use,i don't really need neither kushinada nor ookunikushi since i have bastet... i guess that leave's umisachi & yamasachi as a proto kirin and izanagi as a potential sub in an all god team with athena?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on October 14, 2013, 02:29:14 PM
I don't have a bastet, so ookunikushi is appealing. Really more interested in the chinese leaders because I like their playstyle.

also if I wanted games with catgirls I'd ask prole for advice

Where is a good place to grind my flamie so I can fuse it? It is level 5 and I need it to be level 10. Or rather, I don't want to use excess monsters just to level it up. Where's a good place to get a bunch of good monster drops for fusing?

What rank are you? that's not a lot of XP and could easily be gotten in the 1/2 stamina early dungeons or Tower of Giants at 1/2 stam over the weekend. Or you could farm any dungeon w/ 1.5x drop rate that you can do and get trash XP to feed to your flamie that way.

Add-on question: Why do you want a max level flamie?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on October 16, 2013, 11:42:54 AM
OK that makes sense.

I had good luck with farming up shynees (I was leveling skill on my angelion) and the materials to evolve them in the lowest level dungeons when they were 1/2 stamina. Dungeon of Fire is 1/2 stam this afternoon (6PM  EDT onward), go farm there. You'll get all fire drops which you can feed for the 50% bonus XP.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 16, 2013, 12:49:42 PM
getting 2,500 xp is nothing,just do the highest tier fire dungeon you can do and fuse all the monster you get on flamie... why do you want an evolved flamie anyway? an evolved red goblin has the same skill and better stat,and if you are early in the game and just want filler even an ogre will probably do just as good if not better

there is only one reason to bother with the slime's and that's because in their last form they get a skill that increase the attack of all monster of one type by 300% for one turn,as such you can make a team with two of the leader that gives a bonus to a single type (most triple the attack of monsters of their same kind for a x9 total increase) and then pop the slime to do even more damage on the boss (turn the x9 into a x27) that's why valkyrie is popular because she can make one of the best mono type team (she's light which deals double damage to a lot of the tough post game bosses,isn't resisted by anything and can include several usefull monster like echidna and siren)

evolving them to the final stage is also a pain because it require you to use a king dragon of their respective color,these are monster that give 50,000 xp when eaten and only appear in metal dragon dungeon which are special dungeon that appear for a single hour at different time of day oh and of course the king dragon itself appear at random

the respective color of slimes and their type bonus

red - attacker
blue - physical
green - balanced
white - healer
black - devil

as for the best way to level up... mandark post a few page up sums it quite nicely so no reason to repeat myself

i got 4 mystic mask yesterday from the wednesday dungeon,it was like christmas :heh

I can't reliably farm dublits and tier 3 / mystic masks yet.  suggestions?  I have access to Echidna, Archangel Gabriel, Freyja, Artemis,  Vrtra, Hades, Suzaku, Dragon rider arthur, dino rider, and loki.

i go for mask on wednesday dungeon and when it's weekend i run OOH since it gets x2 drop and mask have a chance to appear,it also gives tons of player XP and stage 3 has a chance of dropping siren if you are still missing it,dubs all drop from friday dungeon (which is why i hope to get lucky tomorrow) otherwise they can also drop from the last tier of tech dungeon which get double drop rate on monday's

there is no popular consensus for tier 3 mask but they appear in tier 1 tech dungeon or alternatively tomb of saint deep,if they appear in tomb of the saint deep they are a guaranteed drop so there is that,it's also on double drop rate on sunday if you don't need to hit OOH for the mystic mask instead and monday

if you are having trouble doing daily dungeon poison is your friend,alternatively get to high rank,gather some RK (rainbow keepers),then slap some dark resist for dubs and some light resist for mask and get a lucifer pal... if you need RK to do that get an odin pal

You can drag the ball through the playfield and make as many matches as possible.

The matches you make will inflict damage on the enemy. If you make a match that the enemy is weak at, you will inflict more damage.

You can target certain enemies by tapping on them.

Don't waste your stones on continuing levels or refreshing your stamina (at least, early on).

The game is meant to be played over months and not days. So, don't feel the pressure to rush through all the content.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 17, 2013, 07:04:26 PM
I just downloaded this.  What do I need to know?

after finishing the tutorial you get a free monster,you want it to be a good one,if you get a crappy one,delete your data and redo the tutorial again

as for what count as a good monster,try to get one on this list that has at least 3 stars and is a god

http://pad.wikia.com/wiki/Valuable_Monsters

if you get either lucifer,horus or kirin (she's only 3 star but that's because she's hard to use for a noob because she's one of the best monster) consider yourself has having won the lottery,2nd place go if you get any of the other chinese gods or isis...

do note that it can take a lot of time to have a good monster pop out of the machine so if you don't have the patience don't get too greedy,the first time i played it took me only 3 roll to get bastet but then i restarted the game because i wasn't doing much progress with bastet and it took me 20 more rerolls before i got another god

note: that guide is slightly outdated,bastet was buffed a while ago and i expect her to probably be bumped to 4 star,the new greek (that's the one with apollo) series is also getting powered up so while there are no new details there's a chance for them to go up in that list,same goes for yomi and amaterasu

here's another list which is less graphical and more harder to consult but takes into consideration some of the newer change to the game

and another with some usefull tips

So i'm considering trying to make a resolve team with lots of awakened dual color ogres, and a siren helper, mostly for the extra damage from matching 2 sets of 3.  Not sure if it will work HP wise.  Thoughts?  I don't have shiva, but I have a shiva helper.  Should I try a resolve / shiva team without a healer?  Would a few awakened carbuncles work instead?  (Don't know if auto-recover stacks)

I'm not sure why, but I think I'm going to spend a stone to run the Legendary Flame Dragon dungeon again.  After my stamina regens, I'll run it once more, stone, then run it again during x2 drop rate.  That way I can have a fully awoken useless red stat stick, I guess. 

Too bad there's nothing that gives dragons x3 attack for one turn, that would actually make a 3x ultimate evo ADK team viable :P

(by the way cajole,if you haven't got verche you might want to try this dungeon,verche is basicaly a mini apollo) do it and keep 3 verche for awakening? i've already awakened valkyrie so it would shoot up my enchanted orb chance from 20 to 40 but evoing verche is a pain once let alone thrice

blade of justice is a special dungeon that drop verche,if you fuse a fully evolved verche (or alternatively one of the monster called tamadra) into another fully evolved verche he gains new skills,this is know as awakening and has been introduced around 2 week ago... in the case of verche he gains in this order...

- attack 2 enemies when matching 4 orbs
- 20% chance that enchanted light orb appear
- +100 hp

everytime you match an enchanted orb you deal 6% more damage so it's a usefull ability to have but of course you have to consider if it's worth the 650,000 xp and material that it take to fully evolve more verche into their final form

The awakening system is a new addition- it's mostly there to give end game players more shit to do.  I wouldn't worry about it- Verche's dungeon will come around again at some point, no point in wasting the box space for now unless you're an idiot like me. :P

i have every ripper dragon evolved except the fire one (which i only got recently) and i don't regret it... the toy dragon give you 2 resistance but have really sucky stat,the greek god only come out of the REM and the legendary dragon require you to beat their descend which early in the game is a lot more painfull than blowing the xp,if you run a mono team the relative archangel can double hp and recovery giving an effect similiar to resist but once again they only come out of rem

worst case,they still make for a full collection

Yeah, that shit is disheartening.  First time around, I got 5 nagas out of 18 runs. :-/

THEN, when skill up x 2 came back around, I got... 1 skill up.  Which is statistically what you should get, but still.

The 2nd time around, I did way better- something like 5/12 or 13 as far as drops go, and THEN managed to get 2 skill ups.  I'm really hoping I can max her out this go around.  Didn't get any naga drops from the Legendary Flame Dragon dungeon the past couple of weeks. :-/

I have to sit on any nagas i get and evo them all the way so I can awaken my red empress  (or whatever it is now) echidna :/

is it really worthy doing it? the first awakening give you blind resistance which is useless,the second is a rcv increase in the team where everybody has a bajillion recovery... the only good one is the +50 attack at last but that's a lot of work for only 50 attack points

scarlet snake princess is the most cruel thing ever. your will to play the game will be tested to its upmost extent while you blow through stamina like bank of america through insolvent assets hoping to get one chance at a skillup.

Yeah, back when I was still playing quasi-religiously, when Scarlet Snake Princess was up it was like Gung Ho had one of those cartoon vacuum cleaners sucking money out of my wallet continuously until the dungeon stopped.

I've figured out the best way to attack SSP or other dungeons like that is to do the math and figure out how many times I can run it at full stamina, and then get a stamina refresh from ranking up on the last one.  Then, run it again until I'm out of stamina.

I do that RIGHT when the clock changes at 3 am, because I'm an insomniac and don't sleep like a normal human.  Then, when my stamina is fully regened the next day, I grind more.  Right now, that's 15 trips through the dungeon, plus whatever else I can get through regular stamina regen before the next day.

i've been wasting all my stamina on more hypno forest hoping for another dub topalith to drop but with no luck,which make me angry because i wanted to try the CoC collaboration for thor and freyja skillups

the obvious thing to do would be to wait for friday and run friday dungeon but seriously i ran that shit for 2 days straight and no dub topalith dropped,i can't really take the risk of having freyja still not a healer when two heroes finaly happens,not to mention that when friday arrives i'd rather do easy for once so i can get the normal mythlit for echidna

i'm so annoyed at the game right now,things would be so much better if i had another dub-topalith to evolve freyja into a healer but no! it won't give me any,but ehy? another evo mask? those thing my box is full,sure! here's another one! no no don't mind,i'll give it you to you no trouble... i know friday is close but watch me once again wasting all my stamina on friday dungeon and getting 10 of the same dub i don't actualy need

oh and i have tons of blue dragon's sitting in my box waiting for pengdra to evolve... let's do some of the blue tech! what's that? you want pengdra,nope,here's 6 chimera drop in a row :maf

and of course wasting all this stamina mean's i'm not doing CoC and skilling up thor and freyja like i wanted to do in the first place

a funny thing happened to me this morning,i had super ruby dragon and tought of doing them so that i could feed them to echidna after she finaly decide to evo up,so i go with shardra,3 RK,top droid dragon and persephone for shit and giggle

well didn't i get attacked by a super on the first turn? i had to tank the thing for 22 turns and i wouldn't have done it if i didn't have shardra and his guard water skill,and i would have died in nothing if i had been forced to lead with a shiva and didn't have top droid dragon,it really made me appreciate team composition

anyway i'm keeping the dragon to level echidna when she evolve and in the meanwhile i got some pengdra and feed them to valkyrie and she's now level 35... i also got a CoC healer as a replacement for angelion

hope tomorrow things finaly fall in place and i get both the dub topalith and mythlit i need to evolve both freyja and echidna

EDIT: next collaboration has been discovered by people digging through the game... you ready for this? it's a batman collaboration

Quick question, skill ups transfer when when evoing, right?

only if they retain the same name skill,so for example ripper change skill when they reach final stage so they lose all previous skill up but echidna keep the same skill on all her evolution so she keep the skill up

that said i'm having trouble beating the dungeon,i tought valkyrie would make it a cakewalk but since the valkyrie hit so hard i reach the boss stage in no time,then i reach the boss with no skill charged and get smacked for 10000 immediately which lead to a quick death...

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 25, 2013, 04:40:27 PM
Max skill Echinda!  Max skill Verche!  And Gungho still doesn't have any of my shekels.

Gonna farm a bunch of the CoC archers to eventually skill up my Freyr (1.5x fire attack).  Mono-red might have a low ceiling, and lowering Freyr's cooldown won't even mean that much, since it's just there for that last boss nuke, and evolving the archers so you can feed them is a pain in the ass but it's my starter monster and I'm sentimental.

Also, almost max-skilled my green toy dragon (basically a green Siren), using stuff from the last collaboration dungeon.  Hoping to get that last skill-up from the six chances I'll have left.  Eventually gonna plug it into a 9x balanced team once they update its ultimate evo.   Man, that whole thing would have been incomprehensible babble to me a couple months ago.

Quick question, skill ups transfer when when evoing, right?

What magus said.  Works for Echidnas, Sirens, heart-breakers, orb-changers, any pet that keeps same skill throughout different forms.

I'm about to regen my stamina after two more SSP runs, so that will be 7 more... PLEASE GOD JUST ONE MORE SKILL UP

I also need to farm up a CoC healer for my alt Valk team. I'm hoping they have 2x drop on the last day of the collab.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on October 25, 2013, 04:45:32 PM
Mandark is basically exactly where I'm at , right down to the fortoytops skillups.

(though I ignored the Verche dungeon. No room on him on my healer team and I don't have a Kirin where he would be really useful)
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 25, 2013, 05:37:16 PM
got my mythlit,instantly evolved echidna into her final stage,gave her all the red exp sitting on my box which was around 585,000 xp and got her at level 46

my current valkyrie team look like this

level 36 RW valkyrie,level 44 busty freyja,level 46 red empress echidna,level 43 king shynee,and a RK so i can break over the 10,000 hp barrier and get the amazing ability of taking at least a single hit from one of those stupid mask and survive

i did get a CoC healer so i guess i should put some XP into her in case i need a more offensive setup (for satan?) but not a lot since she's soon going to get outdated by angelion

i also used all my remaining stamina on the scarlet snake dungeon,cleared it 3 times on expert for a great total of 0 naga,yeppppp,not even the pleasure of complaining about not being able to get a skill up,at least i got a +1 egg out of it

Angelion good?  I got one last time I pulled and I've been slowly leveling it up.

all of the toy dragon are getting subtype to fit their element... drall get attacker,shardra get physical,toytops get balance,angelion gets healer and pierdra was already a devil... so yeah they are now super good in mono type team because they can turn an element into heart and then the heartbreaker can turn those heart into usefull orb

the CoC healer you can get from the current collaboration does the same thing but her stat are lower so no reason to dump too many xp on her
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 25, 2013, 05:54:10 PM
So who's running what teams right now?


I've got my trusty ol' mono-red team with a Freyr lead and the obligatory mystic fire knight/echidna/titan subs, with a Dino Rider (dual orb-changer) as my fourth.

I've got a Kirin team which is sort of the training-wheels version, with Echidna, Verche, Cu Chu, and Siegfried in case I get orb-trolled.  Eventually will get a Valk or two and go hardcore, I guess.

Got a slightly gimpy Cu Chu 9x balance team, with a King Woodsie for the 27x balance nuke, an evoed mystic ice knight, a half-evoed mystic dark knight, and a half-evoed vampire lord.  Good enough to roll through Ocean of Heaven, especially given the wood/dark bonuses vs. blue/light.  Eventually should make it a de facto mono-green team, once Ancient Dragon Knight and Fortoytops get balanced as a sub-type, at which point it can just be Cu Chu x2, Woodsie, ADK, and Woodsie.

Also eyeing a Siegfried 9x physical blue team along the same lines, since I've got a Hermes I hardly use, and he's going to get a physical subtype at some point.  So eventually would look like Siegfried/Hermes/DroidDragon/King Bubblie/???.

Anything else I'd need to get some new monsters from descends or the REM (which I haven't pulled from the last 3 times), really.  No Horus, no Lucy, etc.




edit:  Contra - eventually when you get a Valkyrie you'll be able to put together that 9x attack healer team, and Angelion's going to count as a healer in an upcoming patch, like magus said.  Actually, "when will Angelion count as a healer!?" seems to be a long-running gripe from PAD players, cause having its heart-making skill on a Valkyrie team could be very useful.  Keep levelling that thing, and maybe start running the CoC collaboration dungeon and stashing healers if you can.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on October 25, 2013, 06:01:53 PM
i started with a light team made by thor/baal/valkyrie/holy dragon/verche and yeah i've pretty much put up that healer team right now since i just recently finished getting all the monster/evo material required to pull it off

i have enough decent monster to start a mono green team,then there is bastet when her upgrade finaly hits and uh... i guess if i clear two heroes i might have a starting point for a balance or physical team

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on October 25, 2013, 06:20:00 PM
I run Horus lead, Chu Cu, Valkyrie, Siegfried, Echidna for day to day play. Sometimes I will run Isis instead with the same subs if the content is really easy because Isis requires 0 effort to play.

I use Lucifer for most descend dungeons if I just need the drop (i.e. not farming it). Generally safer than Horus given my levels on that team are not completely maxed.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 25, 2013, 07:29:25 PM
I still run dual Lucis for the most part, although I will run Duke Vamp/Luci for farming OoH and other stuff where I don't need a billion hp and more attack will make it go faster

I need to max out my dark team subs... also need to figure out if I want to focus on healer or balanced team for farming.  Probably Healer given that all of my dudes have basically maxed skills for that team.

No difference, each monster with the same skill has a chance to increase the skill at the appropriate rate (currently 20% during 2x skill up)

If this is ever relevant for you, Healer 9x cleaves through Hera Descended for gravity skillups with extreme speed once you get the levels behind it. I know you have a Horus on one of your accounts, so gravity skillups are something you will have to pay the piper on at some point down the road. Biggest reason though is that it is very easy to get valk friends, not so easy to get chu cu friends, and balance team is kind of weak vs. anything fire.

who's the best gravity user out of hades,hera and hera-is anyway?

Raw stats wise Hera is probably the best- High hp, really good attack at max level.  Double dark Hades has slightly higher attack, less hp.  Hera-is has the highest hp, but lower attack.  Keep in mind, though, that Hera-Is and ultimate evo Hades have multiple elements, so although Hera-is has lower attack, when you factor everything in, it's comparable to Hera.  Along that line of reasoning, double dark Hades is probably the best as far as raw attack power, but keep in mind that Hera and Hera-is are farmable and way easier to awaken.

I saved the data from that alternate account, but was having issues farming subs for that team, and also having issues reliably matching orbs to get the multipliers unfortunately.

I have an alt account that I'm thinking about deleting, as my main leads (Valk, Lucifer) are basically the same as my regular account, and it feels like I'm just doing the same shit.  I'd like to try Byakko, probably gonna reroll that account when Chinese godfest rolls around.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 26, 2013, 08:14:06 AM
Dark-light Hades Hades would do more damage than double-dark on average, since off-color second attacks do 30% of your ATK stat, while same-color second attacks do just 10%.  Though you'd probably be matching more dark orbs on a Luci team with a Vampire, so whatever.

generally speaking D/L Hades and Awoken Hera-Is are the most valued gravity users, because if you get their skillups they become very viable as spike team subs with their dual elements.

My Freyja gobbled five evolved COC Goblins and spit out 2 skillups. Happy about that.

I went from rank 117 to 144 and earned 20 million gold over the weekend binge. I had to half-work all weekend, so it wasn't a big deal outside of the extreme boredom of running the same  10 floor dungeon about 150 or so times. Eventually I got to the point where I could watch a dota stream and still match 8-10 matches with just a quick glance.

I pulled a few kings and a Tamadara out of the PAL egg machine so my Valk is now bigger and badder than ever, though I am still not super big on the team for day to day use until the new Fairlio evo gets ported to US.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 28, 2013, 10:55:04 AM
Speculation is that the Godfest will fall mostly/partially on Halloween, and will thus be Archdemon/something, with "something" likely to be either Chinese or Japanese 2.0.  With the existing groups of Gods, Archdemons and Chinese are the longest that have gone without inclusion in a Godfest. 

I really want a Byakko, but I can clear pretty much anything with what I have so I'm not going to shell out any more cash.  I'll take my 2 pulls or whatever I have amassed and be content.

active - activate a skill at random (of yours? any skills? it would be pretty silly if it ended up lolcifer nuke enemies with half of the CD since it's only 15 CD)

Seconded.  Those are some pretty useful looking monsters, tbh.  ESPECIALLY D/L Batman... if you can get him fully skilled, you don't need to take Echdina on dark teams anymore.

Nah, I don't. Only gods I've got are Apollo (now evolved!), Freyja, and Archangel Michael. Should I throw into the regular REM for this Godfest? I was thinking I should considering that lineup.

Post by: magus on October 29, 2013, 05:32:03 PM

well it depends on what you want,2 of the batman monster have delays in color that usualy don't have delays which is incredibly usefull (the reason everybody says "echidna this,echidna that" is because echidna has delay) coincidentaly one introduce delay to the amazing world of light (the dark/light batman) so you probably would want one of those

the godfest feature archdemon,they are lame monster that have allright stat,a dark sub element and a skills that deal 3x the damage you receive for 5 turns,they aren't really something to get excited about except for one who gives every devil 2x hp and 2x rcv (the green one - astaroth) which can work as a sort of proto-lucifer

the other thing featured in this godfest is a new set of god which doesn't really follow a theme... they are as following

fire - ame no uzume:

leader : fire monster get 3.5x atk when your hp is above 80%
active : rcv increase by 1.5x for 3 turns

the leader is hard to use,the active is junk,bad!

water/wood - umi&yama:

leader : atk x5 when water/wood/light/dark attack all at once
active: fire orbs become water orb,heart orbs become wood orbs

this is like kirin so it's actualy good but less strong than kirin because kirin come with gravity instead,also since he doesn't like red,that means no echidna unless you purposely waste a slot on her or no delay otherwise... if only there was a dark/light monster with delay...

wood - kushinada:

leader : atk increase by 1.5x after 3 combo,then it increase by 0.5x for each combo other than that (so a 7 combo give you 3.5x atk,and an hypotetical 20x combo give you 10x)
active : reduce damage by 75% for 1 turn

can get pretty high but you either need high luck or skills,the newly upgraded bastet does the same so i don't really need it,the reduction is nice i guess?

light - izanami:

leader : god monster get 3.5x atk when your hp is above 80%
active : all god monster get x2 atk for 1 turn

like ame-no-uzume the leader is hard to use,and of course making an all god team is pretty fucking hard since that means a team made mostly of REM monster (with the exception of verche) boost skill are always good and he's the only one that boost god's anyway

dark - ookunikushi:

leader : atk x4 when combo reaches 6+
active : delay all monster for 1 turn

like kushinada,it takes less combo to trigger but if you don't reach the threshold you get nothing,once again if you have bastet then you can use her instead,the delay is usefull but small

robin from the batman rem also come's with a similiar skill to kushinada but his threshold is pretty fucking high (8 combo for 4x damage,9 combo for 6x damage and 10 combo for 8x damage) so i'm not sure he's worth over kushinada...

so tl;dr - the fire one is awfull,the wood and dark one can buy you an extra turn and can hit extra hard if you are good at combo's,the blue one is like kirin and the light one is sort of a luxury god so is it worth rolling? well nobody of us has experience with the new set of gods so it's hard to gauge them properly but the arch demon aren't that good so only half of the godfest is worth it and you aren't 100% sure that you are going to get a god... if the batman rem has only those 5 monster above and they all drop equaly then trying to get one of the "delays" batman might be a better investment

A big thing is that the Batman REM will give one of the five mobs listed for the collaboration, and ONLY one of those five mobs.

The normal REM machine can still give you toytops into mystic flame knight with two pulls. The relative expected value per stone on the Batman mobs has to be higher unless you simply have no need of them.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 29, 2013, 05:50:23 PM
I'd go with the Batman one FO SHO.

It's not just Batman monsters vs. the ones in the Godfest.  The REM still will have a ~70% chance you get a non-God egg, whereas the Batman egg machine isn't going to troll you with healer girls, toy dragons, and mystic knights.

And the Batman egg machine is going to be the same 5 stones per pull? Well shit, that has to be better than ANY Godfest.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 29, 2013, 06:32:28 PM
Robin looks like a really good leader for Tri-Color dungeons, where he might not spike as much as Anubis, but the lower threshold means he's a bit of a hedge against getting orb-trolled.

apparently joker skill isn't really random-random but just draw from a pool made of chinese gods skills,ripper skills,orb refresh,gravity and change the world

also i've heard some people theorizing that the distribution won't be equal and that the D/L batman will be rarer compared to other so i wouldn't splurge all my stones on it yet

Cajole, maybe you DO want to spend your stones on the Godfest.

Quote
1. You can only get Batman drops from the Batman REM.
2. The distribution of rolls in the Batman REM is *NOT EVEN*, unlike the Pink REM where your chance was equal for getting each of the healer girls.
3. The drop rate of a gold egg (DW/DL Batman) from a collab REM has historically been around 10-12%. That means you have a ~90% chance of pulling a silver egg (Robin, DD Batman, Catwoman) and a ~10% chance of pulling a gold egg (DW/DL Batman).

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 29, 2013, 10:38:57 PM
Robin is one of the ones you're more likely to get, probably about 30% of the time from what I can tell.  So, spend 15 stones on 3 pulls and you have pretty good odds of getting one? 
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 29, 2013, 11:15:54 PM
Ehhh... upon further consideration, I think the Batman REM is the better use of your stones, with "your" being basically "anyone," since you're guaranteed a 4 star monster per pull, and Robin is pretty useful, even D/D Batman might be useful in limited circumstances... only Catwoman seems useless.  So, basically you have 70% chance of getting something moderately useful to potentially awesome.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 29, 2013, 11:38:20 PM
Even Catwoman has decent-ish stats, but yeah, I can't think of any team where she'd be a really ideal sub.  Mostly she'd sub on mono-red or a healer team until you got something better.  Robin is just a really good sub for a balance team, and a nice leader for certain tri-color temporary dungeons.  Joker has ridiculous attack for anyone running a demon team.

Plus, it's limited time, whereas you might roll the other stuff later.  And, y'know, Batman.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on October 29, 2013, 11:39:00 PM
One drawback, though, is that D/W and D/L Batman will be even more rare, making it even harder to find people running them as leaders.

The actual whales that play this game will pump shit tons of stones into that thing over the next two weeks... I don't think it will be TOO hard to find leaders running them.  I think the >80% hp atk modifier leader skills are meh generally speaking though- it's easier to put together a 9x Healer/Balanced team, and you'll ALWAYS get that modifier.

Ugh. The batman gatcha seems really juiced. Get ready to sift through a lot of catwomen  in your rolls:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Z6X1FRFCw

It's up for two weeks, I am going to wait and see what people on the facebook group will report. If the drop rate is truly shitacular , NOPE not worth it, better off with REM than a pile of catwomen and anything past your first Robin.

Just think, tho- you can feed your excess catwomen to your main and then max her skill up in the next three days!

(kidding)

Yeah, that was shittacular luck, but from what people are saying, the hit rate for a gold, 5 star egg (ie, D/L or D/W Batman) out of that machine should be about 1/10, so while that guy in the video was unlucky, not overly so.

the things that make me angry is that the reason i had to continue is because i only healed 6,600 after the vampire's hit me,if i had a siren or an angelion and had more level i could have healed enough and 0-stoned it

no rolls for me probably ever again on my US account unless I we get to the point that 5x burst damage is absolutely required. I literally have enough leads and subs to build out teams for months on the account.

Have Kirin/Lucifer on my new JP account and the overall quality of the game is much higher there-more people playing, more events, more free stones, more moonspeak so you look like even more of a sperglord when your wife wonders why you are addicted to a cellphone game.

Obligatory progress update: Just no-stoned Satan with my Kirin team!  Which isn't that impressive (dungeon seems designed to discourage Luci taking style of play), but still, having to really map out every single move ahead of time was pretty cool.  Now to let Satan sit there cause I've got too much other crap to deal with.

which is why i'm not attempting it since i could barely do two heroes and don't even have venus

yeah this is too good for being a cellphone F2P game and surprisingly generous to boot,no wonder they are doing a 3DS version,i'd really like to see this outsell that stupid pokeyman gay-me

really the only weak part of this game is that what new monster you get depend on your luck and you have people like creepy who pay 60$ to pull mewtwo or you are like me and you depend on your in-game allowance and end up getting bidoof twice... but even then the game throws a lot of free monster at you so there is plenty to do and fuck around even without spending a dime... your first monster is free so if you have the guts to do it nothing stop you to do it over and over until mewtwo decide to fall off on his own and it's not like the odds of pulling good monster are terri-bad as long as you follow the rules

trying to roll a god on a new game. Tutorial  is bleh

once again,try to get lucifer,horus or kirin... bastet is probably going to get more popular once she gets her ulti-evo,ookunikushi (which is in this godfest) is like a harsher bastet so he's good too,and kushinada give you less return but give you more room to fuck up so you might consider stopping if you get her

Does anyone run Satan teams on descends with the idea of actually using their active ability nuke?   Cause I've got a couple PEKKAs from the CoC dungeon, and I figure you could use their active, which heals, to use both Satans on the same turn (it's like Lucifer's ability, where it takes you to 1 HP, and you can't use it again until you heal).

Thing is, seems like it would be insane to stall on a descend dungeon for 35 turns when you can't heal from heart orbs.  Just odd to have such a long cooldown nuke on an anti-healing, spike damage monster.  I'm sure someone's doing something creative with it.

U&Y is a great starter. Challenging, but you'll get good habit and you'll see the team improve markedly as you progress.

Mandark-Honestly, with 2x evolved Satans, I think that unless you are working out of max skill Satans, descends with auto-heals (like Athena has so as to act as a Goemon hoser) , and have a Ceres in your team it's just more reliable to go balls to the wall. Especially with Satan's crazy awakenings.

had 50 stamina to waste before ranking up so i tried legendary green dragon once again and this time he dropped,feels so good... i'll probably still run it again when 2x happen so i can get another one and awaken him in case i ever need to assemble an ADK team

I'm honestly not sure how I'm gonna be able to get Joker... might give a try spamming expert on x2 drop on the last day of the collab.

In other news, Angry Birds collab confirmed for 11/18.  WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, BORYS.

Sweeet.  I can score a Hera-Is finally.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 05, 2013, 03:16:40 PM
is there a point into working both hera and hera-is? they are basicaly the same monster except one is dark and one is water so....
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 05, 2013, 03:18:13 PM
I think Hera-Is has slightly better stats?  Not sure.  Basically, I want more gravity users :punch
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 05, 2013, 03:28:29 PM
well i guess it depends on what color you run the most? unfortunately both my dark and my water sucks donkey balls so i guess they are about the same for me :S
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on November 05, 2013, 05:32:12 PM
With higher content you'll run into dungeons with more color restrictions on your team, and Hera-Is and -Ur let you build powerful demon or dark teams that count as having blue or red team members, plus you get more gravities.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 05, 2013, 06:30:26 PM
yeah this is more like "why should i level 1 hera and 1 hera-is when i can level 2 hera of the same kind instead?" since it's not like there are many color restriction dungeon anyway

hera-ur has a whole set of different skills and doesn't count
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on November 05, 2013, 07:03:32 PM
Hera-Is is also a very popular sub on spike damage teams like Kirin, especially if you don't have an Orochi.

can't wait for BREAKERZZZZZZZZ

Not running any of the descends this time around. Will just farm kings w/ 2x drop rate and get some free stones that will likely be thrown into the abyss of survey dungeon farming.

What's the attraction of Breakers for you, Frag? Just don't have Dark/Light golems?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 06, 2013, 11:33:37 AM
i got one light golem the last time breakers was up and he's still unoeved and unleveled :lol

anyway the bastet and knight update is out,but to be honest i'm kinda disappointed... if i stop at 5 combo (which is what usualy happens even after looking at the board for a while) then you get the same multipler as valkyrie and if you get 6 it's just barely better and not worth the effort and the damage missed everytime you do less than 5,getting 7 combo without any orb changing is so freaking hard it might as well not be there... i got up to floor 45 of endless corridors and was able to score 7 combo only 3-4 times

i guess that in any case still she's the biggest healer in terms of HP in the whole game so even as a sub in valkyrie she should do much better than a stupid RK... plus this way my team has 4 wood healer in it (does valkyrie count being sub-wood and all?) and suddenly freyja wood enchancement doesn't look so stupid anymore :heh

it's a joke. dungeon is mostly pointless at this point.

and magus that is what I am expecting out of bastet-getting six / seven matches consistently requires a lot of time with the game. I have a high level and fully awakened Isis around for a reason, and it is my most played despite her being unsuitable for high tier content - she farms everything else even if I'm half asleep. No effort required.

My JP Lucifer team is doing well-got two rainbow keepers, have a final evo'd Siren and will finish those skillups once the next event comes around, so basically ready for Hera outside of some rank grinding. Pretty good for a week's worth of play.

Byakko? lol you just want lolis. Might as well try to roll for catgirls while you are at it.

I max skilled my ADK finally and my balance team is now basically done after I farm up plants for the rest of my green pengdras today:

Chu Cu
ultimate form toytops
ADK
Awoken Odin
Big Wooside
Chu Cu helper

Going to use it against water dungeons like Oceans of Heaven.

evoed all my penguins and now bastet is around level 50,total team HP around 8000 which is enough to jump over 10,000 with a decent valkyrie/bastet helper... meanwhile they have announced an ultimate evo for hera so i really hope that i won't end fucking up this saturday

I don't care if it looks like a cardboard box, if it gives 3.5 atk when dark, water and fire match.

i'd probably want suzaku or genbu out of the 4 cardinal one since all of my good monster are light/wood

It's kind of dumb how much xp you have to expend to get your monsters fully awoken... 700k or so per Hera to get Awoken Hera is 2.1 million, x 2 Heras is 4.2 million+, and if I want both fully awoken I need to do that before Ultimate evoing her.   :-\

the real dumb thing is how you have to awaken a monster to full before ultimate evolving him or evolve each copy you want to fuse,i got 3 knights of each kind just because i would feel bad if i ultimate evolved them before they were fully awakened... same thing with shardra

Godfest announced- Egyptian/Indian.  GIVE ME CHINESE, YOU ASSHOLES.

 :what :what :what

so bad. You have to be desperate to pull this godfest. There are two viable endgame leads, no good subs (Parvati is not that great without skillups compared other heartmakers, even with her good stats), one useful all-purpose lead with issues and strict limitations (Isis) and two extremely powerful but very situational leads (Ra/Anubis).

Indra/Vitra should be repurposed as useful subs like Hades and Neptune are, and Lakshmi/Parvarti/Shiva need modernized mono color lead abilities.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 07, 2013, 11:57:37 PM
We've had BOTH Egyptian and Indian more recently than Chinese... I'VE BEEN GUNGTROLL'D.

Seriously though, spend your stones on the Batman REM, not this crap... pulling Robin, D/D Batman or either of the Gold egg Batman monsters are better than anything in this Godfest except Horus/Ra.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 08, 2013, 07:01:14 AM
man pretty sad to hear about the godfest (what? no love for the new bastet? i mean it's not horus but it's still the healer with the biggest stat and even though it's fuck-ton hard it still has that 4x multipler) but considering last time i wasted 10 stone on nothing maybe it's better this way

oh anyway some new japan info,apparently they are going to introduce two new "godfest only" monster,one is red and dragon/devil,the other is green and dragon/balanced

and the game is getting pirate's! (fire/water pirate's)

(http://blog-imgs-60.fc2.com/p/a/z/pazusoku/MONS_974.png)

that artwork is so ridicolous and awesome,it's amazing how they keep adding new stuff each month
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on November 08, 2013, 09:54:43 AM
So I should throw stones into the Batman REM instead of the Egyptian/Indian Godfest even though I have absolutely none of the Gods in the latter? In my two pulls in the Batman REM, I've gotten D/L Batman and D/D Batman.  :pimp

Sorry for asking you guys for advice all the time.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on November 08, 2013, 10:17:26 AM
I'd give the Batman another pull just cause it's limited time, and cause Robin would be really nice to have around.  Some of the Egyptian Gods are very good midgame/farming leaders (the high damage lets you plow through a dungeon several times in a hurry), but you'll get other chances at them.  Plus the Chinese and Japanese 2.0 leaders are sort of more powerful versions of that, and are useful further into the game, so I'd wait for them to come up in a Godfest instead.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on November 08, 2013, 11:22:15 AM
you already got the best batman pull,the only one you might want is robin so you have a 30% chance of getting something usefull out of it,i'd say not especialy since i doubt it will be gone forever,just that it's going to take longer than another godfest featuring egyptians

egyptian god all have huge attack multipler,from lowest to highest

1) isis give everybody x3 when 3 color attack all at once,this is pretty easy to do but the multipler is so small that mono-type team can do the same so most people don't go ga-ga over isis,this is completed by the fact that isis active is a heal that is so pitifull small she might as well have no active

2) bastet gives everybody 2.5x when you match 4 combo,this was considered pretty weak so a week ago they buffed it so that your attack keep increasing as long as you keep combo increasing and now she caps at 4x when you do 7 combo,pulling off 7 combo is pretty freaking hard,if you want to get robin consider that he is the same but instead of going from 4-7 : 2,5x - 4x he goes 8-10 : 4x - 8x... bastet skills let you hit all the monster on the field for 3 turn like you just matched 5 orbs all at once,it's usefull against sub bosses that often pops in pair but worthless against single boss

3) horus is like isis but instead of 3 color for 3x,it's 4 color per 4x,this is amazing and it's the reason horus is seen as one of the best 3 monster in the game,everybody want a fucking horus including me... horus skills enchance all the fire orbs on the field so that each orb deals an extra 6% damage,unlike the other egyptian god this is a good skill but it's not exclusive to horus (in fact one of the descend boss has a better version that enchance both fire AND dark orb) so it shouldn't be the main reason to want horus

4) ra is the end of the color leaders,giving 6x if you match all 5 colors,unlike matching just 4,matching all 5 is doable but pretty freaking hard so ra isn't as popular as horus,ra skills deal 7777 damage to all enemies regardless of their defense which make this not much different than those defense break skill nobody use

5) last we have anubis,anubis deals 10x if you do 10 combo,10x is gigantic but this is fucking impossible to pull barring extreme luck and/or a dungeon that features only 4 kind of orbs... his skill is a counter like the archdemon one,since the dark archdemon doesn't have one (getting an ability that deals 150,000 damage to light monster) anubis get it instead

the indian god are a lame bunch,the tricolor one gives everybody 1.5x in every stat exactly like apollo does (in fact in japan apollo recently got an upgrade where he gives his buff to fire monster too so you could use him instead of the red indian god) the water one come with a lame damage skill,the fire one with defense break (which again is a pretty lame ability then there is the fact that a monster with defense break was gifted to everybody a while ago) the green one come's with those guard skill that the toy dragon have (convert all x orb into heart orb) those are usefull but not exactly god material...

the light and dark one buff dragons which nobody use,the dark one give every dragon x2 atk,x2 rcv and the light one x2 atk,x2 hp... the dark dragon comes with a nuke that improve the less health you have (topping at 100,000 when you only have 1 HP remaining) and the light one has a damage reduction skills which at least make him usable as a sub

Finally got my Valk, and got to dump all those Drops that have been clogging up my space.

3/27 skill-ups.  Wheeeeeeee!  Well, at least it was an instant 400k XP.

Gonna try to grab Hera-Is, which will give me the full big-boy Kirin team (Verche, Valkyrie, Echidna, Hera-Is), which is more prone to getting orb-trolled than the one I run now (which has the blue and green heartbreakers) but has a better chance of nuking bosses in the descend dungeons.

Besides that, levelling Robin is on the agenda, to round out my green balance team and maybe set up for some tricolor shenanigans in the future.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on November 08, 2013, 08:26:06 PM
I still might run Siegfried over Hera-Is until you go through the process of cutting off at least 10 turns off that gravity cooldown. Certainly for casual farming I think Siegfried-who always double hits with a Kirin activation, and who can help activate Kirin at the same time-is just usually a better mans.

Once you get that Hera-Is gravity cooldown to approach near Kirin's you might reconsider. Hera-Is does require an insane amount of XP to level too.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on November 08, 2013, 10:54:29 PM
Yeah, it's all pretty aspirational at this point.

Any of you guys have a team that can farm the last level of Starlight Sanctuary?  Looks like it wouldn't be that hard with a Luci style stalling/gravity/nuke team, but I'd really like to be able to plow through it at a decent clip and grind for XP/king golds/dub mythlits.  My Kirin team can't chew through Zeus' HP fast enough to avoid getting one-shot.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 08, 2013, 10:59:36 PM
Judging from PDX's page, the only team that looks like it's capable of doing that is a very specific Byakko team with multiple gravity users on it, and an ECO dumpty Alma for boosting a massive attack.  So, no, I would have to use my cheesy dual LOLcifer team. 

I actually haven't tried Starlight Sanctuary yet because I haven't bothered to get quite that far in the game... there keeps being other shit to do.  The even schedule lately has been crazy.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on November 08, 2013, 11:39:22 PM
Well, that's just teams that people bothered suggesting.  People don't seem to bother submitting too much stuff on PDX for dungeons that were available and "solved" early-ish in the game's lifespan, and the endgame players probably figure that most folks have figured out Starlight Sanctuary by now.  From googling around the PAD forums, Goemon and Dark Metatron teams are meant to work well.

I figure a Satan team should be able to handle it, with all the dark damage doing overtime on Zeus and the possibility of multiple gravity subs, but I'm probably ~10 million XP away from putting together a decent version of that.  On the other hand, I have a mostly useless Indra, and if I put him on my Kirin team, between his skill and Echidna's I'd have seven shots (plus two mini-gravities) to get through Zeus.  Hmmmm.

Would be really nice to be able to farm that dungeon.  Never sink stamina into Friday dungeons, get a really nice XP/stamina return rate, get some gold kings, and have something productive to do away from events.

Super Metal Dungeon haul:

26 High Metal

6 King Metal

8 Super King Metal

Let's max some shit or die trying

i would never use stone for stamina refill,like i understand the rem is a harsh mistress but my collection OCD compels me to spend it all on the rem,beside if every monster i had was maxed there would be no reason to pengdra cycle in the first place

anyway my healer team desperately needs more HP,i wanted to try hera again but then i realized i fucking lucked out this morning because without a fully maxed valkyrie pal i don't have enough hp to withstand ceres attack and as such didn't try again,i decided to try my hand at ancient dark dragon since it was 2x but guess what? 1 shotted once again because i'm around 2,000 hp shorter

i guess i'm not giving any green exp to any other monster that isn't freyja or bastet for a while and if i ever get any tamadra they are going to freyja (she gets +100 HP on her second awakening)

(and yes i realize i just said "i don't get why people would want xp for magic stone" while complaining about not having enough xp)

I had about 30 stones for my IAP account... of which I haven't spent money on since like, forever n shit.  So, spending about 8-9 stones to amass a bunch of xp was worth it to me, especially since I won't be rolling for a godfest until Chinese comes back.

I want to do the dungeon but can't kill him without having to stone it at least once due to not having enough hp to tank the 34k hit or whatever on master.  The reason for me wanting to run the dungeon would be to get skill ups for my Hattori Hanzo- fuck actually getting Tengu, meh.  I'll try it next time it comes around.

my first try with hera-is went poopy,i forgot to target one of the devil and the damage divided,then on turn 3 they both used their bind and fucked me up >:(

anyway apparently all of the japanese gods are getting ultimate and yomi is getting two and a new update has been confirmed for this thursday

- greek busties coming
- elemental busties coming
- buff to ame-no-uzume,light metatron and izanagi coming (they only require 80% hp or more instead of the full bar to trigger)
- roman gods resist getting buffed to 55%
- new sorting option
- max number of box increased to 1000

cajole - did you evolve your apollo? if you did starting from thursday if you fuse all at once

- a light keeper
- a rainbow keeper
- a mystic mask
- a dub rubylit
- a dub mythlit

he'll ultimate evolve,what this mean is that

- he gains more hp
- he gains a fire subtype (dealing 30% of his attack as fire damage whenever you match fire orbs)
- his leader skills improve to include fire monster in the deal
- he gains a physical subtype

note that when you can ultimate evolve,the "fuse" button will start flashing in gold,if it's not flashing then do not fuse or you will just waste your stuff

x2 drop is in effect for Batman collab ALL DAY tomorrow... but the Hera-Is descend is happening, too...

Grabbed my Joker.  Any reason I should get more than one?

Nope, not as far as I can tell.  Did you get him on Expert or Master?

Also, just spent the past hour+ zero stoning Hera-Is on Legend... to get a chest of coins drop.

Master.  Got a D/L Hades, and using a D/D Hades friend I could have probably tanked it out, but chose to use my Kirin team.  Which basically means you either one-shot Joker or die.  Probably spent close to ten minutes staring at the screen and practicing my finger motion, but it was enough damage (thank you light bonus vs. dark!).

Gonna hopefully Kirin my way through Hera-Is on Mythic, which would level me up and let me make a couple Super Emerald King runs.

i'm happy we have run out of event,i'll probably take this occasion to reach the stone dragons dungeon,see if i can finaly clear vesta cave (i have so much wood damage in my healer team that i always end up being some damage short) and if a mermaid would finaly pop out of legendary water dragon that would be nice yes

You don't have a siren, Magoose?  It's gonna be boring as shitfuck, but run the 2nd level of Sea Cave Mercury when it's on x1.5 drop.  Sure it's still shitty, but it's cheap and you can do it a bunch with full stamina.

Post by: Human Snorenado on November 12, 2013, 09:54:36 PM
No, I'm talking about Hera-Is descended- which I cleared for the 3rd time today on Legend and finally got the drop. :P

I tried the Batman collab on Master, but I can't do it- the best dark resist I have right now is Abyssal Neptune, which is 50% and not 55%, and I can't find any Hades on my friend list right now... I have to tank an almost 20k hit, can't do it.  I don't think I could do it even if I did have a Hades friend, because I'd need to tank an almost 16k hit in that case, and in order to get my hp up that high, I can't take a heart maker, and my orb matching skillz aren't up to snuff with the shitty recovery on my Neptune/Luci/3 RK team to make that happen, most likely.

Got Hera-Is on Mythical, spent a stone cause I botched an orb match on the second to last level.  Can't really complain though, Kirin so OP.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on November 12, 2013, 10:47:30 PM
Kirin's active doesn't get enough credit and her ability to reliably combo with skilled up subs is also underrated. She's in a class of her own when it comes to taking mythical descends.

I can't wait to get my JP account with her leveled up.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 12, 2013, 10:57:31 PM
I guess I'm just gonna toss a shit ton of stones at the REM when Chinese comes back around.  Hopefully I'll get a Kirin, or at worst a Byakko.  Now that I have a Hera-Is, the next stop is Hera-Ur I guess.  Although, if I'd farmed Goemon the last time he'd been around I'd be beating this stupid Batman collab WAY FUCKING EASIER, so I'm gonna get him for sure. :P

Also- drop rate on Expert is FIVE MEASLY FUCKING PERCENT.  Doubled it's 10, but ugh, still.

EDIT: new info!

shirtless vamp - x2 atk,x2 rcv to dark type
armor vamp - (require to run new descend) dark x3 atk,become water/dark,gains physical type

new hera - 3.5x atk for devil monster when hp is above 80%
new orochi - gains physical,rumored improved endure?
new susano - gain balanced,rumored improved defense skill
new amaterasu - gain healer (!),rumored better healing skill
light sub type tsukuyomi (require new descend) 3x atk to light monster,gain attacker
dark sub type tsukuyomi - gain balanced

yeah so you need to run some super hard dungeon if you want to evolve zeus,hera,get the alternate evo of vampire or the alternate evo of yomi,details about the dungeon are still unknown but will probably be revealed tomorrow

i also forgot to add both zeus evolution and hera require you to use 2 super king of the respective color to evolve,this is especialy stupid for light zeus considering super gold king happens once in a blue moon and isn't even a thing in the US version at the moment
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 13, 2013, 12:26:05 PM
Shiiiiit.  I have the makings of a really nice green balanced team now... 2 Cu Chus, Robin, and a Susano chillin' in my box too.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Fragamemnon on November 13, 2013, 12:29:53 PM
Susano's ult evo basically brings a 3 turn delay to the 9x balance team whereas previously they had to resort to bringing a non-balance monster. He's got good stats too.

My balance team is Cu Chu lead/friend, king woodsie, final evo toytops, green odin, and max skill ADK final evo. Pretty sure that either woodsie or odin get swapped out for Susano when I need a delay.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 13, 2013, 01:15:10 PM
Oh yeah, I have an ADK, too.  I'm waiting to ultimate evo him until I can get all of my mystic knights to ADK, and then fully awaken him.  Ran Super Emeralds last night too and have some King Emeralds to save for King Woodsie, good thinking...

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on November 13, 2013, 04:41:23 PM
If you're just looking for a Dk/W stat stick, you have a couple of options- Hera-Is is farmable, for one.  Not sure if she's easily obtainable with Horus teams or what.  Abyssal Neptune is another.

Neither of their skills are that impressive in a Horus team- you're probably gonna be done with most dungeons before 30 turns go by, so gravity isn't that great, and poison makes no sense- you're not trying to grind shit to death.

If it were me, I would try to get a Vampire and ultimate evo it into one of the new forms.  They're both Dk/W (or W/Dk, whichever) and have a skill that's actually useful- heartbreaking for dark orbs.

Siegfried is damn awesome. A lot of people run Hera-Is, but honestly heartbreakers > gravity for most purposes, heartbreaker cooldowns make big matches so much easier. You only need gravity in some specific cases.

Easy to get in Two Heroes with a Horus/Horus team.

Post by: Mandark on November 14, 2013, 12:03:39 AM
Yeah, Two Heroes is one of the easiest descends, and the blue and green heartbreakers are super useful in several different teams.  Plus you can rely on getting them, rather than blowing 20-30 stones on a Godfest and getting nothing but healer girls and mystic knights.

I've recently hopped on the pengdra train... you can just run the shit out of the blue, red and green jewel dragon dungeons, the Thursday dungeon, and the first three technicals (preferably when they're on increased drop rate on Monday) and boom- lots of nice xp. An evo'd pengdra is 30k even for off color, and five of the fuckers are 150k, which is nothing to sneer at.

What's your box space at, Frag?  I'm sitting at 320 on my IAP account and feel like I need more.

not unless you delete them yourself,it's weird you haven't got the stone...

anyway done more progress and beated tier 5 water and tier 5 wood,will probably reach starlight sanctuary by the weekend if i don't get distracted by OOH too much

meanwhile here's the new descend,it's a sort of annoying descend because everything binds you (time for those bind resistance awaken to pay up perhaps?) but the boss can be easily one shotted with a big enough blast

Magoose- if you still don't have a Mermaid by next weekend, run Legendary Blizzard Dragon on Master if you can.  Should drop on floor nine.  Might want to run it right as it goes active initially so you get multiple shots at it if it doesn't drop the first time.

I still mostly run dark teams when farming, though.  I pulled twice more on the Batman REM before it left on my main account and got a d/l batman  :gladbron

Still working towards getting a balance team going, but it's been slow levelling and evoing those fuckers

Post by: magus on November 20, 2013, 12:59:54 PM
my healer team is doing decently but i don't think it can do any of the hard descends aside from hera-is (and even that i fucked up because it's still not all properly leveled up) so i think i need to put some work toward one of those boring "2x grav,delayer,heart maker" teams or alternatively get more green mon and full switch to bastet

as for skillups... i've started working toward them only recently... so far i have a level 5 skill megalodran and that's pretty much it... i've been gathering mystic knight from their dungeon waiting for the x2 and i also evoed some CoC goblins i had spare for freyja

watch me get 0 skillup from all this stuff

the new tech dungeon with fagan is getting released this monday,99 stamina,gives dragon x4 atk when you are at full hp and comes with the same gravity skill as kirin (so thereoticaly you could use him to skill up kirin if you want to waste all that stamina) here's a video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D45V5mXerRU

uh also apparently there is also a dark valkyrie coming,i don't know what they are thinking anymore

oh and a new descend with izanami,they showed the artwork (two artwork,one light,one dark version) forever ago but here is it again

Gonna try to max skill my Pierdrawn, with an eye towards an eventual Satan team (the idea is to make hearts which Vamp converts to dark orbs).  I can only imagine the survivability of a Lucifer team with a fully skilled-up black heartmaker.

Once you start getting into teams with significant +eggs to RCV, the difference between what a Lucifer and Pierdrawn team can do vs. a Lucifer and Siren team can do are actually pretty significant. It makes several doable-but-borderline descends much easier.

Guilty/stupid admission: very early on when I didn't know wtf I was doing (basically tossing every 5 stones I got at the REM whenever) I got a Pierdra, looked it up on PDX and was like, "wtf is this piece of shit?" and fed it to my Vampire.

haven't had any other lockup since saturday but i sent them an e-mail and i was pleasantly surprised to see them reply even if it was just a token "try to close your other app" reply... anyway,did 6 run of the new DJ dungeon and got 5 DJ out of it and already got a skillup out of it just by fusing a single one (i'm keeping the other 3 for awakenings)

got 2 other skillup on shardra making him my first max skill monster
got 2 skillup on freyja with the goblin i had stashed away
got 1 skillup on verche and 1 skillup on ADK

i'm having amazing luck with skillups today

tried to get a siren yesterday but once again she didn't drop,now i have no idea what to do with all the remaining marine goblins i saved for shardra :beli

oh and a new mode has been announced,basicaly do all of the dungeons again but this time all of the monsters except your leader are picked from your friend list and you only get the leader ability of your selected mon so no x9 team and the like... stone's for dungeon cleared this way are given again enough so yay for another batch of free stone

i guess we will see lot of 6x valkyrie action?

Great Valkyrie get!  Now to level her again.

you making a team with 3 valks pancake?

anyway new descend monster stat and skill announced,there is a light version and a dark version and i think it might be random whenever you fight the light one or the dark one but i'm not 100% sure but anyway!

Light Izanagi

Light/Blue - God/Balance - 3287/1239/549

Leader: Cut hp by half,all balance monster get attack x4
Active: Reduce damage by 30% for 1 turn
Awakenings: Enchance Light Orb,Resist Light,Auto Heal

Dark Izanagi

Dark/Red - God/Physical - 4511/1501/57

Leader: Cut hp by half,all physical monster get attack x4
Active: Reduce damage by 30% for 3 turn
Awakenings: Enchance Dark Orb,Resist Dark,Auto Heal

nice to see new 16x team blooming but i can't imagine doing any dungeon with 25% of my hp and the amount of balance light monster or dark physical monster is pretty slim to begin with

Horus & Isis evo revealed,they have two evo... one standard and one that requires that dumb triplit descend... the standard one gets sub element equal to their own element and their leader skill is upgraded to an extra 0.5x when all element attack and the triplit one get light sub element and an extra x1 when all element attacks,so descend horus now gets x5 and descend isis get x4

horus buff kinda makes me angry,that makes ra almost completly useless

1. flame golem with a +
2. cupid

EDIT: allright so for shits & giggles i asked my mother to do the remaining 3 pulls... she pulled

1. archangel lucifer
2. umi&yama
3. kirin

First of all, you just need to grind ranks so you get more stamina and higher team costs. Go to http://www.puzzledragonx.com/ find the dungeon you can comfortably do that will give you the most xp, then grind the shit out of it.

Second, Uni & Yami have a kick ass leader skill, comparable to Kirin's.  Level your vamp and mermaid, they'll be good subs on that team, and the rider too.  You need a good light sub to put on that team, not sure who to suggest.  Find other Uni & Yami friends, practice your orb matching skillz on endless corridors, profit.

I gave in and cashed in all of my stones on my main account for 7 rolls... glad I did.  Check THIS shit out:

Kushinada
Izanagi
Kirin!!!
Dark Meta
Hades
Toytops (actually wanted one to add to my balance team, so no trolling here!)
Mermaid

you might want to level the fenrir knight too... the point of u&y is that red orb are pointless so the more red orb you can eat away the better,but yeah you are missing a good light monster... you could attempt doing zeus tomorrow as he has pretty buff stat and gravity but i'm not sure you would be able to tackle it in the first place... alternatively i think the legendary light dragon might appear next week,he sucks but it's better than what you have so you could wait for that... scoring a light/dark or a dark/light monster would be great since that way you cover all the color needed for u&y with only 2 monsters

haku/byakko is the most popular chinese god that isn't kirin and can easily farm the last level of the normal dungeons so if you built a haku team you could go...

haku/echidna/vampire/hades/d-w batman... you could remove d-w batman after vampire gets his ultimate evo since then he becomes d/w but honestly his skill is pretty good,other candidate you should consider are drawn joker (gets d/w too),loki and in a minor measure the dark mystic knight and vritra... you could replace echidna with d/l batman but then you would need another fire monster and i don't really see anything fire that's worth using there (maybe gigas for his huge hp buff or mitsuki so you can turn all orbs you don't use into dark orbs with vampire) 

alternatively you could try building an astaroth team,the result is often similiar to what AA lucifer team do,in that case you would run astaroth,drawn joker,vampire,hades and loki

it would be nice if you could geta hera-is from the next event,being a water/dark devil she would fit both these team and gravity skills are usualy better used twice

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: pancakesandsex on December 03, 2013, 07:40:38 AM
Do vamp hades and loki all get a devil sub type?

Oh, they do!  But it'll be a while before I can evo them all.  I can build towards both options though.

I think Hera-Is is way beyond my current skill level.  Maybe if I capped one of those teams out?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

i tried goemon on legend with kirin today (evolved and at level 30 something at the moment) but i had a bad board on the 2nd round and the ninja 1 shotted me... someone suggested that it's pretty easy to do with lucifer

one thing that helps a lot with color gods it's this site here,fuck up all you want before actualy playing the game :heh

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 04, 2013, 02:14:48 PM
FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK

I've run Goemon 5 times today (zero stoned four times) and NO GODDAMN DROP.

Magoose- your main problem in life is that you don't have a Siren, and that your dudes all need to max out their skillz.  Here are your priorities in life:

1. The next time Echidna's dungeon comes back, you have to run the everliving fuck out of it.  If you don't want to stone it, then you need to do the math and get your xp to where you'll be able to run it X number of times to deplete your stamina, and on the last one you rank up and refresh.  Start it right at 3 am, do that, and then run it again to drain your stamina.  Then, wake up, run it again throughout the day.  You'll still probably only get 2 skill ups per time her dungeon shows up, but you need to start the process.

2. Mondays and Thursdays when Sea Cave Mercury is on 1.5x drop, you need to run the fuck out of the 2nd stage to try and get a Mermaid.  If Healer girls ever show up at an increased rate on the PAL egg machine, cash in your points on that.  Once you get a Mermaid, you need to max skill her too, but that's way easier- Marine Goblins drop on Sea Cave Mercury, so run the fuck out of it to get them.

3. Since you DON'T have a Siren currently, you need to focus on getting as many skill ups for your Pierdra as possible so you can use him in a dark team.  Run the fuck out of Dragon in Motley this weekend when it's on x2 drop- use the stamina math trick I talked about for Echidna's dungeon.  Hoard any drops until the next x2 skill up event comes around.

4. Evolve and dump as much xp as possible into your Lucifer.  Also, any plus eggs should go to either Valk or Lucifer.  x2 RCV (x4 with Lucifer friend) makes such a big fucking difference on Descends.

5. Farm Baddies and Amelits on the last stage of the first dark dungeon, especially whenever it's on 1/2 stamina.  Use those to skill up your Chaos Dragon Knight.

Now, normally Hera or 2 Heroes would be the first descend you should tackle... but I wouldn't fuck with Hera until you have a Siren with a bunch of skill ups, and besides you already have a Hera (guessing from the rare egg machine? dunno).  You should be able to do Two Heroes with an evolved Luci team... try to level/skill up Pierda and your CDK.  It's a shame you don't have a CoC Glorious Healer, as those are useful if you don't have Angelion on Healer teams, and you can skill them up using the same method I described for CDK, just with the light dungeon instead.

Hopefully that helps.

Edit: I'm not as familiar with Kirin teams, but again it seems to me that lack of a Siren hurts you there, and you also need to skill up your Echidna for that too.  Forgot to mention- when poring tower comes back, run the fuck out of it to skill up your Valk.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on December 04, 2013, 02:39:15 PM
uh i've actualy 0 stoned both hera and two heroes (that's where the berserk come's from) already with valkyrie and i do have a max skilled heart maker in megalodran... and yeah lucifer is getting some love as soon as i get some dark XP... i was asking more for the harder descends since i'm starting to wonder if i should cheese some stuff like goemon and zeus with lucifer instead of going full-on kirin from the start

and yeah i'm not putting megalodran in kirin because it eats precious fire orb... would be nice if i had angelion but...

i do have CoC healer,i just haven't paid her much attention since she's basicaly a dumber version of angelion and it feels like a waste to level a gimped monster

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 04, 2013, 03:19:48 PM
It is, but it will help you farming a whole lot to have something to do with those dark orbs on your healer team.

Once you have a better dark team, I would try Goddess Descended- not just to see if you can do it, but because having two WR Valks on your healer team is :noah

Also- sixth time is apparently the charm.  40% drop rate my fat white ass, but I've got my Goemon now.

Wonder what skill ups will be in it?

*Gunma is invading!!!*
[Duration] 12/9, 12:00 AM - 12/22, 11:59 PM (PST)]

A Dungeon from the game Gunma no Yabou (Gunma’s Ambition)—based around the Gunma Prefecture of Japan—appears!
What is “Gunma Prefecture” and “Gunma’s Ambition?” Read all about it here: http://tinyurl.com/kf6gro8

In the Gunma’s Ambition Collab Dungeon, local treats from the Gunma Prefecture become Monsters! These monsters also possess special Skills.

Use this chance to strengthen your team and increase the Skill Levels of your favorite monsters!

Skill-up season approaches!

edit: lol, worst skill ups EVER.  I have a susano and I won't be running this POS

Post by: magus on December 07, 2013, 11:17:32 AM
the leeks have iron stance if you have susano but otherwise it's a pretty useless dungeon... the other monster just skill up a bunch of dragon breath and the boss can be used to skill up minerva if you really have to use her

Quote
edit: lol, worst skill ups EVER.  I have a susano and I won't be running this POS

well it's nice to see them bringing more collaboration,i don't have any elemental but it would be nice if they brought capybara-san just so that you have more chance to skill up more "buy time" monsters

EDIT: forgot to add,the boss can evolve into something with pretty decent stat if you are missing green monster and while the leek is mostly used to skill up susano it's also the monster with the third highest rcv in the game

Rares at PAL machine from 12/12-12/20, so next event is probably running then.

I bet we get Noel dragons and Tamadras.  I have a shit ton of Pierdras I need to feed for skill ups, almost 10 each in IAP and non-IAP account.

Also, there's gonna be a Vote based godfest with the top 15 being included.

Yeeeeeeeeeah, I saved my last couple days of 2000 points from the last event hoping to spend them on a king event.  Siiiiiigh.

Considering what I got on my main account on the last Godfest tho, I should never bitch about this game AGAIN EVER
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on December 08, 2013, 10:45:44 PM
Yeah, for me getting a Kirin on the first pull when the Chinese Gods debuted opened up so much of the game that I can't really gripe.  Plus D/L Batman.

Anyways, I'm at the point where it might make more sense to pull outside the event, for a slightly better shot at +eggs and Tamadras, since Dub-mythlits and Keepers are the only evo materials that would really save me stamina (I get all the masks I need from normal dungeons).
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 08, 2013, 11:14:00 PM
Why the fuck did I keep pulling in the Batman event after getting Batman D/L and Batman D/D ON MY FIRST TWO PULLS. I WAS GIVEN A GIFT AND I PISSED IT AWAY WITH MORE PULLS AND THEN I DIDN'T GET JACK SHIT IN THE LAST GODFEST WHEN I SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE STONES FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on December 08, 2013, 11:25:44 PM
The good news is that you've got good enough leaders that if you have half-decent subs you can clear 90% of the normal dungeons.  Depending on monster levels and friend leaders, you should be able to crack the entry-level descends at some point (Two Heroes, Hera), and once you've done that you'll have a gravity user to put in your dark teams, which will open up more possibilities...

The way the game works is occasionally you'll hit a wall with certain content where in order to beat it (at least without throwing away a ton of stones), you need one of a small group of monsters (usually spike damage stuff).  There's maybe some stuff that you couldn't clear with your current monsters (and the descend monsters that will be available to you), but it won't be a lot of stuff.  All about leveling, skiling, and evoing your stuff.

I haven't pulled the normal REM for a couple months at least now.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 08, 2013, 11:27:49 PM
Yeah, I'm just upset I can't really do any of the descends yet. I'm on Vesta Cave in the normal dungeons and Tower of Ice Water in technical.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on December 08, 2013, 11:30:02 PM
What teams are you running now?  A D/L Batman team could be really nice, though you'd probably need to hit some community sites to actually get some friends with the same leader.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 08, 2013, 11:43:39 PM
I've been running a Batman D/D team that seems okay when paired with a Lucifer. In the team is a Chaos Dragon Knight, Rainbow Keeper, Thanatos, and Chaos Devil Dragon. I haven't really researched team building that much, tbh. I look at sample teams for dungeons on PDX, that's it.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 08, 2013, 11:44:15 PM
I had five spare stones chilin in my main account on the last day of the Batman collab, pulled and got a D/L Batman :heh

That account is genuinely stupid in all of the cool shit I have in my monster box, getting Kirin and Dark Metatron in the last godfest was a sure sign Jesus really does love me, which I already knew cause I'm not a Mets fan, but continued affirmation is always nice

The Chaos Dragon Knight's a really good sub on standard dark teams.  You'll probably also want a vampire to change hearts to dark orbs.  Did you get a Pierdra from the dungeon they ran the last couple weeks?  Cause that would work well too.

Thanatos isn't the greatest, but when you get to difficult dungeons that have light-damage bosses, he'll basically act like a dark Echinda for you, which is awesome.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 09, 2013, 12:19:29 AM
Yeah, I wish I hadn't fed my Thanatos to my Lucifer, but he (Thanatos) had about 6 or 7 + eggs and I was feeling hubris, so I fed the fucker.

Orb changers in general are awesome subs.  My Ocean of Heaven farming team is Luci leader, CDK, Duke Vamp, and Hattori Hanzo. I can change all sorts of shit to dark orbs.  Working on skilling up Vamp and CDK so they're even more useful. Running Pierdra/Drawn Joker in place of Hanzo is fine too- gives you an "oh shit" out if you NEED healing, and combined with Vamp hits really hard.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on December 09, 2013, 12:31:19 AM
Oh yeah, I have both a Vamp and Pierdra that I got recently. I need to start leveling them up.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on December 09, 2013, 01:35:05 AM
The game doesn't really explain skill-ups and for most players it's not clear at the outset how important active skills are when picking subs.  It's why Echidna's such a huge deal, despite having really meh stats.

I look at it as there are three main uses for active skills:

1) Survival/defense.  Lower damage for a bit, heal, create heart orbs, delay, etc.

2) Consistent offense and not getting trolled by the board.  Mystic knights and heart-breakers are generally pretty available through farming, and it's feasible to level up their active skills.  This is a big deal, and the reason Siren's the default healer (cause you can feed her blue goblins to skill her up).  Having something that can produce useful orbs every five turns rather than every 11 turns is SUPER convenient.

3) Nukes.  Skills that either do a lot of damage directly (gravity, Lucifer's lolcannon), or skills that multiply the damage you'll do from orb-matching that turn.  A lot of times this involves using multiple skills together, like two orb-changers plus something that gives you a 50% bonus on color damage, etc.


When you get to the descends and other tricky dungeons, building a team usually comes down to figuring out for each floor whether you can beat it and survive straight-up, or if not what skills you need to either absorb the hits or kill the enemies first, and making sure you have those skills available by stalling on the easier floors.

Basically, what I'm saying is skillz skillz skillz.  Pay attention to that stuff.

cajole - you should put your team on padherder and also consider D/L batman gives every light monster 3.5x atk when your hp is full... that's pretty fucking powerfull if a little unstable and you already have a decent light monster in apollo

if you got robin you might want to consider trying to take on take-minekata next time he comes,he gives a 3.5x multipler to every physical monster and enchance light and fire orb,basicaly he's apollo best pal... the dungeon only has fire/water/light orb so robin can't actualy attack but since there are only 4 kind of orbs it's one of the scenario where getting his 8x bonus is actualy doable and 64x will murder anything
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 09, 2013, 08:14:16 AM
I think my orb matching skillz would have been way better served getting a Horus or Kirin earlier in the game instead of Lolcifer.  Now I'm awesome at tank shit but there's no skill involved in that, and have tunnel vision tendencies when trying to use spike damage leaders.

I wasted my additional 5 stones after getting Batman D/D and D/L trying to get Robin and didn't get him. :( But I'll see what I can make with that light team.

And thanks, Mandark!

Lucifer
Kirin & Haku
Bastet & Horus
U&Y & Kushinada
Venus & Hades & Neptune
Yomi & Orochi

the other 3 are all of the godfest monster except light metatron,amaterasu is tailing pretty close to venus so there's a chance she will be there instead

i have 4/12 but i would like horus,venus or hades... not sure i will roll

Dragon teams still have issues even with Draggie around. It's not a terrible non-IAP option though.

I would definitely not be leveling and evolving other monsters just to save Tamadara. Once the Twinlit dungeon gets here the Tamadara scarcity is lessened a great deal provided that you can do the dungeon.

Speaking of the Twinlit dungeon, many teams for that run 2x Echidnas. So even if you have a max skilled one, you might want to consider working on a 2nd one.

there has been a rumor that they are going to change all the dragon skills so that they do something else (like defense reduction or orb changing) on top of damage... i think we might know more tomorrow since that's when the newest collaboration get released

anyway the boss of the newest collaboration has 5x wood resist,perfect for zeus-dios i guess?

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

more balance

formula (the dragon sub boss of hera-ur) - now also enchance light orb
fallen angel lucifer - now also enchance dark orb
astaroth - after people complained she nows eat fire orbs instead of light orb so you can use both her and drawn joker on the same turn

new descend

drops special fruit material

new busties (some of them will probably require the descend fruit material)

holy lightining dragon aka the light ripper (light/wood)
graviton earth dragon aka the green ripper (wood/fire)
leviathan (water/water)
fafnir (wood/wood)
archangel (light/water)
and....

It's best to tackle that dungeon with a high recovery, high hp team and a poisoner. If you don't think you could take several hits while waiting for the Super King to die from poison (takes longer with Lilith) then don't fuck with it is my advice.

hermes eats fire orbs so i guess you could use it,both dark/light hades or light/dark venus would be powerfull options

I have a lilith on my team.  I'm more worried about the hits.  I can live if I have green oxen, but I don't have the hp otherwise.

for supers i usualy run a resist leader,lucifer pal,2 RK,a defense breaker and a heart maker... you probably can go by with just a defense breaker as long as you don't encounter a super on round 1

i really want to roll this godfest,i already have kirin,lucifer and bastet which are all featured... u&y will probably be featured in it too which means i have 4 of the gods in the player choice godfest... that leaves

horus
haku
venus
hades
neptune
orochi
kushinada
yomi

of these hades,neptune and venus are all featured in this godfest... that leaves horus,haku,kushinada,orochi and yomi... with kirin and u&y i'm not sure i need either horus or haku and with bastet i probably don't need kushinada either... that leaves orochi and yomi,and i'm not sure these two monster are worth a 1/3 chance of getting a duplicate... i wouldn't mind getting any of the greek either,i'm using verche in my kirin team and looking at apollo everything about him is better than verche

plus this godfest coincide with the light festival which translate into maybe finaly scoring an angelion

Ares is actually a really good God to have.  It's about the best result you could ask for, after pulling during this godfest like a nub.

Post by: magus on December 15, 2013, 07:30:32 AM
decided to pull this godfest because of light festival and because as i said i'd be really pissed if i ended getting a duplicate god from PC

1. minerva
2. drall
3. valkyrie

drall i was missing and i like toy dragons (i was actualy gunning for angelion),i'm not sure what i will do with minerva,i know the dark version can be a good sub to hera-ur but otherwise i'm pretty "eeeeeehhhh"

the real problem is with valk,lot of people suggest having 2 valkyrie in the valkyrie team but raising even one single valkyrie is a huge pain in the ass and i already have a decent number of healer beatsticks like freyja and bastet so i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with it

basicaly congratulation to the rem for giving me a sort-of-duplicate even when i was 100% sure i wouldn't get one as i had none of the gods featured in this godfest

New update for JP:

mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/update.html

1. New monsters:
Top: Heroes series
Bottom: Fruit dragons

(http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/updateinfo/Ver6_3/ver6_3list_m3zs7y.jpg)

2. Ultimate Evolutions for Horus and Isis
Leader skills were as previously mentioned.
No additional typing for Horus.
W/W Isis gains Healer typing
W/L Isis gains Physical typing

(http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/img/131216_sinka/131216_sinka.jpg)

. New Awakening Skills for 31 Collab

4. Skill Powerups
a) For Greek Gods (Ares, Hermes, Artemis, Persephone, Apollo)
Double attack stance minimum cooldown has been reduced from 11 turns to 9 turns at max skill level. (No change to number of turns at Skill LV1)

b) Previously mentioned additional skill effects for dragons, certain healers and archdemons will be introduced. Additional information on the mechanics of secondary skill effects:
- You cannot activate the primary skill if a skill similar to the secondary skill is already in play (eg. cannot use a breath whose secondary skill is an armour break, if the monster has been armour-broken. This applies for secondary skills that grant increase damage or reduce damage-taken buffs)

- Similarly, a similar skill on another monster cannot be activated if the secondary skill has already been activated (eg. cannot use armour break belonging on your Shiva if you have already activated a breath whose secondary effect is the armour break).

- Orb change secondary effects associated with counterattack skills (Archdemon series) will be activated as you use that skill, not with each counterattack

5. Special Dungeon Score Summary
A score summary will appear after clearing a dungeon, based on average combos, turns used and average rarity of the team. There will also be a personal high score table. (There may be some bugs with this feature when Change the World is used)
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on December 17, 2013, 06:33:17 AM
new god series skills have been revealed and they are boring

Active: change orbs of one color into orb of their own color,change another different color into hearts
Leader: atk x 4 when matching 8 orbs of their own color

Fire: Yamato Takeru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_Takeru) (Wood -> Fire,Dark -> Heart)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbqpTyyCYAAwYlf.png:large)

Water: Andromeda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_%28mythology%29) (Fire -> Water,Light -> Heart)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bbqpjm0CUAAlt2Q.png:large)

Wood: Perseus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus) (Water -> Wood,Fire -> Heart)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbqpwWdCYAAWImF.png:large)

Light: Sun Wukong (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Wukong) (Water -> Light, Dark -> Heart)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbqqdYwCAAELx-C.png:large)

Dark: Pandora (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora) (Wood -> Dark,Light -> Heart)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbqqtB0CMAAIiAN.png:large)

i can imagine the leader being usefull in tri color dungeon as orb of one single color become plenty but it's not like there are that many of them and there is already another bajillion of orb changer so unless their stat or awakening are particulary good i doubt they'll get much spotlight
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on December 17, 2013, 10:46:49 AM
They could be useful as additional orb changers in spike damage teams, depending on if they get new types when evo'd and if a collab dungeon rolls around with skill ups.

Any word on how you get the fruit dragons?  I'm expecting them to be REM-only.

Dragons have been a lot less useful than gods for a while now, but one upside is that they were easy to awaken, since you could farm them from a dungeon in their final forms.  I doubt Gungho's going to let players get a 9-time awoken dragon almost immediately though.  Will give more of a push for people to stone on that new dungeon and get tamadras.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on December 23, 2013, 05:15:44 PM
Because I thought I was going to get my lead's level into the high 90s  :(

you should level all of your monster evenly,it takes only 1 million and half for a monster to reach level 70 but it takes 2 million and half for the remaining 30 levels... some monsters do tend to get better stat in the higher levels than they get on the lower but the general rule of thumb is that after level 70 you are fighting an uphill battle

anyway they have announced that ra is getting not one but two ultimate evolution!

(http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7441/11515997055_999465f980_o.png)
(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5472/11516080796_fdb8e0d9b0_o.png)

the L/L will have his leader skill will be changed so that you get x4 if you match 4 colors and hearts and x7 if you match 5 colors and hearts and will require an angelit,the L/D one will remain the same and get a stat buff

R/L horus is getting a small buff in the form of +200 attack and +90 rcv (they removed all of his recovery which is pretty huge since his recovery is quite big) and also double ultimate are coming for both archangel and alraune

tried hera-ur with a level 50 kirin team,i actualy had a pretty good try and went as far as ifrit,i duked it out with ifrit until he was down to 25% of his health and then died when i couldn't heal fast enough... i would have stoned if the drop at the end was guaranted but i was playing on legend

my biggest problem were the ogre,if i nuke then one of the ogre goes into rage mode and if i don't none of them die and it's even worse,there doesn't seems to be a way where everybody is happy

I ran Athena today... fucked up in a couple of respects. I had 3 stoned (all on Gigas) to get to Athena, then was fine. I double gravity morning star her down, then grind her some more... till everything comes back up. I *think* I have it... so I fire off two more gravities and a a morning star.  NOPE. Left juuuuuuust enough hp left on her to keep her alive, so she starts pounding me for 100k each turn. No point in fucking with it anymore by then, sigh.

i'm gonna have enough stones to pull 8 or 9 times on the next godfest i swear to god if i get jack shit again i am fucking done

if you get jack shit again you could try spending some stone on descend... a lot of descend monster comes with usefull leader skill

zeus - x3 attack when hp is full (tough no use for you since you have D/L batman,can be upgraded to 3.5x attack later or someone with an effect similiar to goemon for dark monsters thanks to a special descend)
satan - x3.5 attack for devils (tough you get no recovery)
hera-ur - x3 attack for devils (and unlike satan you can actual heal)
athena - x3 attack for gods (combine nicely with apollo)
takeminekata - x3.5 attack for physical when hp is below 80% (also a good pal of apollo)
goemon - x5 attack when hp is below 20% (this is incredibly powerfull but also dangerous)

if you have vampire the latest update turns him into a decent leader by giving him x2 atk/x2 rcv like loki and you can even use somebody else lucifer with it... take-minekata is coming back next week too

Short answer: don't start until next week's godfest, which is player voted upon.

Long answer:

bebs if you start today,you are still in time to get one of the holiday dragons,these guys give a lot of XP when sacked and give you a multipler to your hp and recovery which help you survive

otherwise,do what creepy said... basicaly you get new monster either by clearing special dungeons or out of this slot machine,the slot machine can give you 3 star (egg with a star on it),4 star (silver egg) or 5 star (egg) monsters... the 5 star monsters represent gods,some of them sucks and some of them are crazy strong... the first monster is free so before starting you can pull as many times as you want as long as you have the patience to re-do the tutorial over and over... so you want to restart until your free monster is a god and possibly one of the crazy strong one,if you check the guide creepy posted you can see what is good and what is not

now the thing is that around every 2 week a special event called godfest happens and on these event two pantheon of gods for a total of 10 gods become more common on the slot machine (so say... all the norse and japanese god) but since it's christmas the next godfest will be special and the list of gods will be handpicked by the player,since it's the player picking it has like all the best monster making the day this event happen truly the best day ever to start

godfest usualy happens on saturday so it will be either tomorrow or next week,they usualy announce before when a godfest is coming but since they haven't, it will probably be next week... you could try starting today,forcing a god out of the REM even if the odds are against you,get the holiday dragon,clear the first few dungeons (which will give you another 2-3 free pulls) and then use your free pulls on the godfest day,and if you get nothing you can always restart again

or if it's too much hassle just wait for the godfest day,the holiday dragon is usefull but not really necessary

EDIT: i just got my first skillup on echidna,after 5 whole days of scarlet snake princess... this is truly a christmas miracle

Bebs- Godfest looks like it's confirmed for next week on New Year's Day, so I'd start then. Also, you'll be able to get a free Tamadra- it will look like it's a good idea to sell or feed it for exp right away, but unless your god is at it's final evolution, DON'T DO THAT. Read up on 'em and you'll see what I mean.

Fuuuuuck yeah, just did the math and I'll be getting my 100 day bonus on my non-IAP account before the godfest, should have 30+ stones saved up. GIVE DADDY SOMETHING NICE.

Post by: magus on December 28, 2013, 11:11:01 AM
bebs basicaly here's how the game works and why you want to start when this thing start,when you make a team you select a monster that give you a bonus called leader skill and then pick somebody else monster to provide a bonus too (most of the time the same monster so that the same bonus gets applied twice) everything in this game hits fucking hard and has millions and millions of hp and will often either one shot or two shot you so basicaly you want a leader skills that multiply your attack as high as possible so you murder them before they murder you or have so many defensive bonus that you can actualy roll with the punches,of course each monster has different leader skills but a lot of the monster above have amazing leader skills... basicaly you can separate them in different block

do note that each monster also has an active skills that they can use after a set amount of turn (usualy around 15) so when picking a leader there is that too consider too

Attack For Colors

these monster all multiply the damage you do based on what colors you match,from smaller (therefore easiest) to biggest (therefore hardest), haku -> horus -> kirin and umi & yama

- double haku will multiply your attack by 12,25x her leader skills trigger when you match black,red and blue and her active makes it so that the board all turns into these color

- double horus will multiply your attack by 16x his leader skill trigger when you match any 4 color,horus offers the best deal between easiness to trigger and damage which is why he's so popular,he also got a recent buff where the damage increase to 20,25x when you match all 5 colors instead,his active skill turns all the fire orb into special orb that deal more damage which is allright but can be really usefull when you make a team with lot of fire monsters

- then come u&y and kirin,both of these guys get 25x when you match 4 specific color (every color except black for kirin and every color except red for u&y) kirin active skill is gravity damage,unlike final fantasy gravities here do work and since boss have huge amount of hp i don't need to tell you how usefull this is it,u&y instead turns orb he doesn't need into orbs of his color which make him slightly easier to trigger

of these horus and kirin are the one you probably want the most but u&y would be ok too and haku should be your last option

Attack For Combo

these monster increase your attack based on the number of matches you make... do note that on average i do 4-5 matches each turn

- kushinada is the easiest one,with her multipler starting at 3 matches and give 1.5x,this is pathethic but it can increases up to an amazing 10x the more matches you do as you get an extra 0.5x for each match,of course doing 7 matches is already hard and even then you'd only get 3.5x,her skill buy you an extra turn by cutting lot of damage and is awesome so she's helpfull even when not used as a leader
- then comes bastet,bastet start at 4 matches and give 2.5x,like kushinada the more matches you get the more damage you get but unlike kushinada she only caps at 4x (for a total of 16x) of course since getting higher with kushinada is praticaly impossible,bastet is usualy a better choice... bastet active turns your normal attack into area wide attack,this is pretty situational and not very good
- the last combo god would be ookunikushi which give 4x attack when making 6 match which give you no room for error but i see he's not in this godfest so no reason to waste word's on him

Type Team

all of the monsters have a type and some leader give their multipler to all monster of a certain type of these we have one in dark metatron,dark metatron is rare as fuck so don't expect her to come out

if you do get her she gives every attacker 4x when your hp fall below 80% this is an amazing skills but good attacker monster are sort of hard to come by so you might have some problem when starting... (if you do get her,go pull the batman slot machine as one of the batman is a pretty good fit for her) her skill is like horus but work on dark and light orb instead

Tank Team

these monster are there so that you can actualy survive,we have two guys here

- lucifer is the monster that everybody wants,there are a lot of monster that let you take hits in the face but lucifer come with a 300,000 damage nuke,this is a huge amount of damage and solve the biggest weakness of tank team (they can take but can't dish) best of all there are a lot of good dark monsters in the game that don't pop out of the slot machine which make him a fan favorite... do note that most recent dungeon are designed to be against him so he's an amazing addiction to your team but don't expect to be able to do everything with him

- then there is green odin,like dark metatron odin is rare as fuck so don't expect to get him... green odin cuts the damage you receive by 80% as long as your hp bar is full,if you combine this with auto-heal effect it's actualy possible to become invincible... sadly most of the more recent monster attack twice in a row which make his skill less valuable,still an amazing monster

Subs

these monster have sucky leader skills so you don't want to start with one of these but they are pretty good once you've built your team and just need extra fire power

- hades comes with gravity so he can deal tons of damage (his leader skill cut dark damage in half and can be upgraded to dark and light)
- neptune comes with poison,this can be usefull when dealing enemy with high defense or if you are running a team that focus on defense (leader skill cut water damage in half and can be upgrade to water and dark or water and light)
- venus and yomi have a skill called change the world,this give you infinite movement for 1 turn which basicaly let you sort the orb for the maximum amount of damage (venus cut light damage in half,yomi LS just sucks but she can be upgraded to a really usefull one if you defeat a really hard monster)
- orochi comes with delay's,using orochi get you 5 extra turn in a row,i don't think i need to explain why this is amazing
- lastly come blue odin... he has the biggest stat in the game and that's the only reason he's here

TL;DR version,try to get kirin,lucifer or horus... bastet,u&y or haku might be good place to start too,the other monsters are good but not really worth starting the game with... if you are lucky and get one of the super rare one (dark meta,green odin and blue odin) you might want to keep them... dark metatron is amazing but you might have an hard time using her,the green odin is good but only for certain situation and the blue odin is more of a beatstick than actual leader material but he's a damngod beatstick

Gave Beelzebub a couple shots with my Kirin team today, but didn't have enough green orbs on the initial board either time to trigger the 25x bonus, and got one-shot as a result.  NOT spending stones to roll the dice on that, especially with the good Godfest coming up.  Sheesh.

they are also changing the new gods (heroes series) leader skills so that it triggers starting from 6 orbs at 3x and then goes up the more orbs you match up to 8 orbs for 4x which should make them more usable as leaders

Venus

Dragon Rider

Incarnation of Kirin, Sakuya
Minerva
Vampire

Is that even good? Keep in mind I don't have any of the other gods in this Godfest. I guess Sakuya's gravity skill is cool.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on December 31, 2013, 03:17:32 AM
Incarnation of Kirin, Sakuya

Kid, you've got it made.

A Kirin leader and a friend Kirin means you've got a 25x damage multiplier.  With that, you can nuke your way through 80% of the game's content with goblins and slimes as your subs.  Providing, of course, you can somewhat consistently meet the matching requirements (red, blue, green and light orbs in the same turn).  Also, it only works if those colors are represented on your team and actually attack.

There's a small handful of monsters that are powerful enough leads that you can rely on them to take you through multiple descends without spending any stones, and now you have one of them.  From here on out, Kirin is your PAD waifu.  You're gonna clear space to make Kirin friends, level up monsters that work well as subs on your Kirin team, practice the four-color matching even when you're farming dragon plants, etc.  It's you and Kirin in a training montage.

Wrote a bit more of an explanation up there.  Venus is also a really good Kirin sub, and a good Valkyrie sub (and you'll want to get a Valkyrie to go with your Kirin).  What's your ID#?  I've got a level 94 Kirin with a crapton of +eggs for attack.


For the record, I got my 200 day bonus the day before the Godfest, so I got to roll 7 times...

3 healer girls
2 mystic knights
1 elemental
1 toy dragon


At least I'd been wanting an Angelion, so there's that.

did another roll... dryad with a +,wish it was a siren instead so that it would have finaly completed my healer girl set (at least i now have fairlio as the better replacemenet for the valk team) debating whetever to keep it since dryad is getting two evo or just eating it for the +

also tried zeus with kirin,no red orb on the first board and all chimera started with a CD of 1... GG gungho! i guess i really need to score another gravity user and start putting some level on lucifer and some of his sub (he's already level 40... normal hera is like level 25)

:beli

horus is a lot easy to trigger (i think someone said that there is a 40% of one of the four specific color in u&y or kirin missing from a fresh board which is what happened in the situation i described above where with horus is like 6%) can still reach u&y 25x attack bonus when fully upgraded and is still amazing as a sub when used in other teams like goemon... i fucking wish i got one and i have both kirin AND u&y

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on January 01, 2014, 12:58:54 PM

since these 2 days there hasn't been any interessing event,i proceeded with the normal dungeons some more and reached starlight sanctuary but of course since everything hits so hard the only way for me to clear stuff is using double lucifer

and goddamn it's so boring,it's impossible to die but each fight last like 20 minutes because the only way for you to deal some sort of damage is through lucifer active but it takes FOREVER to charge... honestly i'm not sure how creepy went through the whole game without chewing off his own face or something

Post by: magus on January 04, 2014, 08:48:11 PM
bastet + kushinada makes it so easy,everything dies in 1 hit except the boss and the boss attack before he goes into berserk mode are so small that you have all the time to prepare for a +10 combo,honestly if i had another kushinada or bothered to get robin or heck even had more water monsters since the hard bit is to kill him once he switches to fire i would try mythical instead
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 04, 2014, 08:59:01 PM
I don't think I'm going to bother. The only use I could see for him is a sub on an Athena team, and since I don't even HAVE an Athena, why bother?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on January 04, 2014, 09:14:12 PM
honestly i want one because

1) i like to collect stuff,i've kept everything,even those lame starter dragon
2) his leader skills is nice and i even have thor and orochi to back it up
3) i don't have any orb enchancer and i'd rather use him than using either phoenix or kirin
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 05, 2014, 03:04:29 AM
Ran it again 10 minutes before ending because I had the stamina and my maxed out, +297 Bastet friend had refreshed, got the drop this time. Fuck, this means I have to try Athena again the next time that descend comes back I guess...

This is the easiest descend in the game, by the way. Well, maybe if you're running an Odin/Healer team Hera is easier, but this took like 15 minutes and that's gonna take you for fucking ever.

Valk
Valk
Echidna
King Shynee for burst to finish Takeminakata off
Hera-is just because she's a beastly fucking blue stat stick
Maxed out Bastet friend

Even somebody awful at comboing like me reliably was able to hit the max Bastet bonus.

Did you ever fuck with it again, magoose?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on January 05, 2014, 07:17:16 AM
yeah i did another try,couldn't score enough combo on the two ogre when i got a board that was like half full of light and the light ogre survived with like 2% of hp and when they both survive they instantly kill you >:(

EDIT: i tried hera-is with kirin and the dragon that does the big breath before her somehow survived the kirin strike,this game is making me reach grade's of pissitude i didn't think were possible and now the event is over and i won't be able to try another descend until it's taco day or something and that piss me off even more

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 05, 2014, 02:03:05 PM
Hera-Is/Hera-Ur are NOT easy descends. I don't think I zero stoned either the first time I tried.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on January 05, 2014, 02:16:53 PM
I want to try hera-is but I can't even us her if I get her, so there is no point in wasting the stones.

Post by: magus on January 05, 2014, 03:20:16 PM
Hera-Is/Hera-Ur are NOT easy descends. I don't think I zero stoned either the first time I tried.

you can tell me that but the whole point of having kirin is that she murder stuff easily and she couldn't murder something,something that was DARK,the color i'm supposed to punch the hardest

bah i guess at least by the next time descend come again i might finaly have more than 16,000 hp for kirin and everybody on lucifer at a reasonable level,still the only thing i got out of this event was

- 1 skillup on echidna
- 2 on drawn joker
- orochi
- oh yeah i guess i got fairlion too... really need to level it up for both valk and kirin

i couldn't get a single one of the cool descend toys >:(

i actualy already asked someone else and tried but the ninja in round 1 murderized me... can this be done without any sort of attack multipler? their defense is pretty high and can't really be jumped over unless the game decide to spawn tons of dark orbs
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 10, 2014, 11:14:26 AM
Yeah, you have to get lucky and get 5 dark orbs on the first stage pretty much to zero stone it as Lucifer. Once that happens, it's pretty much all easy from there.

So, the new Red Odin's stats have been released. He's a God/Attacker, which means that the most IAP-heavy team in the game (DMeta) just got even more IAP-y. Sigh.

eh i'm not so sure,dmeta likes attacker sure but she likes dark attacker and monster that comes with dark enchance rows... that said the new odin comes with a 20k at turn poison,that's pretty amazing for making things less chory for double lucifer

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 12, 2014, 01:48:24 PM
UGH. 2 stoned it with Kirin. Net 1 stone for Satan is not bad but I could have easily zero stoned it if I didn't suck at orb matching so bad.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on January 12, 2014, 11:13:29 PM
If you've got a Kirin, just use Kirin all the damn time.  Try to get the 25x bonus when you're farming dragon plants and stuff.

When I first got mine, it felt like it was impossible to activate her skill without taking an extra turn to set up the board before hand, but through a lot of practice it's become pretty natural.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 12, 2014, 11:17:24 PM
The first couple of stages I was ace on, because I sat there for a minute or two and planned out all of my moves. I actually did TOO well on the first stage, because I wanted to just kill one Kraken and charge skillz, but I sky combo-ed the other to death too. I ran into troubles when I didn't SPECIFICALLY plan out all of my moves beforehand on some of the later stages.

And that was with no heart orbs! I guess I'll try doing simple farming stuff with her going forward and see if I can get better at it. I think max skilling my Verche will help a lot.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on January 12, 2014, 11:24:06 PM
Yeah, you can go with Verche/Cu Chu/Siegfried as subs kind of as a safety net.  But it really is practice.  Once you've got a bazillion reps, you'll start recognizing the patterns easier and quicker.

It winds up helping your play in general, even when you go back and use a Valk or Lucifer team.  I definitely make an extra match or two per turn when I'm playing my mono-red setup compared with how I did before Kirin.

i said it in a previous page but whenever i'm in a do or die situation i always use this site to plan my move before actualy doing it

http://maaak.net/pad/

i had 2 other satan run and was able to clear it another time... the run i died was when i left hades to a 2 turn timer and then realized i didn't have enough green orb on the board to trigger kirin :lol

My problem is that I've got this Dark Metatron sitting in my box now, whispering terrible things to me... "Easy 16x multiplier, more with whole row eliminations..."

BUT NO. I will be strong.

what other attacker you have creepy? dark meta is good but she doesn't get in the "OMFG" camp without dark attacker (which are somewhat of a pain to get) especialy hanzo,with hanzo you can use goemon to turn the whole board into red with goemon and then convert and enchance it with hanzo + dmeta

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 13, 2014, 10:32:34 AM
I have a Hanzo already, didn't even think to use Goemon. DERP.

My Dark Metatron is at 3 Awakenings and Hanzo is at 2, so I've got a .3 multiplier for eliminating rows right now. Need to get that up to .6 after I get Satan evo'd.

It really depends on what you have at your disposal. What teams do you normally use? I'm going to try it with Kirin I think.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on January 14, 2014, 01:20:48 PM
how many stones would it take to just brute force Twinlit?  I really want a D/L Yomi.

most people do the dungeon in this way

1) do enough damage on round 1 so that you can kill some of the lits but not all of them
2) stall on the surviving ones until you have your skill ups,skills should include at least 1/2 defense ignoring move (lilith poison,ra solar laser) and/or 1/2 delayer
3) pop the defense break on round 2 to skip it
4) pop the other defense break or your delay on round 3 and kill both mythlit,if using the delay leave the tamadra alive if you need to charge skills (note: you need a team with at least 13,332 hp to survive both twinlit pre-empitive)
5) round 4 is just a matter of having an attack multipler as high as possible and either making a 5 match to murder both or using bastet

zeus is a pretty popular choice as the twinlit heal you back to full before the fight start and the double gravity cuts the hard part in half
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on January 14, 2014, 01:20:49 PM
I'm most comfortable with horus

I have Lv 50 horus, 76 Yomi 2 awakenings, 85 U&Y fully awoken +32, EOS (13 turn skill) and 94 marine rider robin  total of 9678 hp without a friend. For friends I've been using basets because I need a light sub.   I can do 16X most times.  I figure I will need a stone on level 2 and a few more on the last one, depending on how much I can delay on the first and 3rd floor.  (delaying is kind of hard with the ranbow team.)

Also I will be running the metal/jewal  things so levels should be higher in four days.

I also have a 77 lilith that can take yomi's place.

new descend has been announced,it's hercules and best of all it seems like it's going to be a green descend! those thing are rare as fuck it's all "LIGHT/DARK/DARK/LIGHT/DARK"

(http://i.imgur.com/q40I8py.jpg)

new info on alraune evo,one is just standard "number's go up" the other loses healer and becomes a balanced monster that gives balanced monster x2 atk/hp

(http://i.imgur.com/BqHcYry.png)

some of the PADZ (3DS game) exclusive monsters are coming to the game,here's some of the less dumb looking one

(http://i.imgur.com/pgXZs2q.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/Doc7FgT.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/rQdM8m5.png)

new series of dragons called flower dragons

(http://i.imgur.com/inLIYRn.jpg)

lastly there is a rumor that anubis will have two ultimate... one will give him a smaller multipler starting from 8 combo and the other will give him an higher multipler when going over 10 which would be pretty silly if true

EDIT: the PADZ monster skills

Avalon Drake, god

honestly this sounds like a pretty good set,avalon drake is basicaly athena best chum,the berserker can fit in hera-ur team perfectly... radius as a suckier bastet with an active that's actualy usefull is nice and the dragon samurai is a perfect sub for dark metatron with enchant dark row,skill boost and a way to damage yourself to fall below the 80% range... the only 2 monsters that really sucks ball are the chimera and the golem

godfest has also been announced... japan 1.0/archangels,i don't think i will roll

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's the info on the new descend boss

siegfried at skill level 4
vampire at skill level 6
lilith at skill level 5
angelion at skill level 4
titan at skill level 3

(no cu-chu so i'm keeping all of the green porings)

"but magus that doesn't look so bad? why so mad?"

BECAUSE MY VALKYRIE IS STILL AT SKILL LEVEL 2 EVEN AFTER EATING SOMETHING LIKE 20 FUCKING DROPS!

but the real spit on the face for me is mastering who somehow got feed like 8 big woodsie's and yet is skill level 5 even though i'm not really sure i will ever use him
to be honest i'm thinking of stoning for stamina at least until i drag myself to rank up just so that at least i can end up skilling lilith and vampire

yeah but if i'm doing my math right with a 40% chance in 5 runs i should have a 77% chance of getting something...

What team did you use for the Twinlit dungeon?  I stayed away from that.  Scary.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 20, 2014, 12:34:26 AM
Byakko. Shit was TOUGH. Spent three stones, all on the Twinlits. By contrast, I only had to spend one stone on Athena with a Kirin team.

Byakko/Hera-Is/Awoken Hera/Echidna/Dark Neptune/max Byakko friend with a shit ton of + eggs. As long as you can activate the triple requirement on the first stage, that's not that tough- it will kill all but 2 of the mythlits, then it's just riding it out until Neptune's skill is active and you can use him on the next wave. I was able to tank the round 3 pre-emptives and have a little bit of health left, and then it's just a matter of delay + grinding those assholes down over 8 turns, getting your actives up and ready for the next round.  I'm confident I can do it in fewer stones in the future but I'm not sure I'll ever zero stone it with that team... for that I'll need this.

i always die on cu-chu and honestly i don't want athena so bad that i feel like using a stone is worth it...

...i heard satan has a pretty easy time on the dungeon so i guess i should take some time to level him up for the next time athena comes around

why did you spend 3 stones on the twinlits? with a single devilit you can... evolve vampire in the form nobody uses? whoop-de-do?

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 20, 2014, 10:17:46 AM
Initially, probably yeah I'll use that Devilit to evolve Vamp to Blue/Dark Vamp. I don't mind spending a couple of stones on dungeons unlike some people though, if I've already got them banked. :heh

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on January 21, 2014, 07:01:11 PM
Echidna's skill is already so powerful that it'd be tricky to buff without giving her too much utility.

I mean, if you gave her a blue sub-color, suddenly you can run Haku and Kirin teams basically as mono-dark or mono-light except for Echidna, for stupidly high damage.  Giving her a Devil or God subtype would be a huge boost for the various Meta/Satan/Athena teams.  As it is, she's getting 500+ more attack, which is nothing to sneeze at, especially on spike teams where she qualifies for the multiplier.  For me at least, I'll start putting +attack eggs on my Echidna once I've maxed my Kirin.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 21, 2014, 09:01:05 PM
I'm having issues prioritizing +eggs... too many viable team leaders between Lucifer, Valk, Byakku, Kirin, and Dark Meta.

I've decided in the short term to prioritize HP/RCV on Luci and ATK on Valk, since those get multipliers. I'm going to do nothing but farm plus eggs until the next event on my main account now. Once I get two more Tamadras for DMeta, I think it will be time to shift ATK/HP to her, and keep tossing RCV on Lucifer.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on January 21, 2014, 09:50:00 PM
where do you get +eggs?  Also I have two starter dragons (green, black) that I haven't touched.  Should I eat them for the +6?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on January 21, 2014, 09:55:33 PM
Depends on your roster, what teams/good subs do you have?

Farm tier 5/6 dungeons for + eggs, preferably on increased drops.

My first round of +eggs are going to Echinda for HP/RCV and Kirin for ATK.

I'd definitely recommend putting HP and RCV +eggs on Echidna, since you'll be using her on Kirin, Byakko, and Valkyrie teams.  Even if it's not on tank teams that get the multiplier, stalling with spike teams will get a lot more feasible, and you'll be able to get the bonus across several different leaders.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on January 22, 2014, 06:35:28 AM
6.3 coming this friday... stuff you can expect

- challenge mode where you clear dungeon using only one leader and the other subs are picked from your friend list (also give you more magic stones)
- extra team pages for every 100 rank
- mastering get awakening in case you bothered to gather more than one
- vritra skill improved,the two odin gungnir now come with a small healing effect
- heroes series in the rem
- ultimate horus and isis
- dragon don't suck as badly anymore

Assuming they give out the PAL points in the mail system, like they did last time and like they do for magic stones, the smart thing to do is to not open the messages until the next time king jewel dragons show up in the PAL machine for an event.  Should be 2-3 free kings, not huge but better than more trash.  I kicked myself for not thinking of this the last time.

hera is 100% plus I got the stone and only 1000exp to the next level, so it seemed worth it.  I nuked everything up to hera.  Did EOS and Yomi's and got a good 16x in on her and then fucked up the other two turns.  Otherwise it would have been easy and I avoided having to run a zombie team for two hours.

2 stoned it, both on Zeus. Triple gravity and double luci nuke didn't QUITE kill him.

someone suggested using lucifer + odin,then when you reach zeus you switch lucifer with nebradisk (which i got even if i didn't want him) that way zeus can't bind your leader's as nebradisk isn't a god and odin has full binding immunity,and under these condition even his best attack only deal 1,300 damage so as long as you have 3 auto-heal awakening (odin already has one) you are basicaly invulnerable

or i saw it done with goemon too... don't you have one?

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

I was thinking about it after beating Zeus, and there really aren't that many descends currently offered that I haven't beaten yet:

Zeus-Dios (apparently the toughest in the game)
Beelzebub
Draggie
Tengu

I'm in the process of putting together a cost restricted dark team for Tengu/Draggie descends, especially as I'll want to run Tengu a lot when it comes back so that I can start skilling up my Hanzo. Other than that, there's not much left for me to do than grind, which fortunately I love to do.

as far as my descend progress go i have

hera
hera-is on legend
satan
takeminekata on legend

and i've already cleared goemon and hera-ur even if they didn't drop... that leaves

zeus
zeus-dios
beelzebub

draggie

Byakko is niiiiiiice. Did you have a spike damage leader already? The good thing about her is that you can farm a bunch of useful subs for her. (Echidna, Vampire, Siegfried, Drawn Joker etc)

Also, shit. Ares is the bomb.com... fits in on a Byakko team ok as a stat stick sub.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: CajoleJuice on February 01, 2014, 01:34:11 PM
Yeah, I already had Kirin. But Byakko is a nice, slightly easier alternative and also for dungeons without light orbs.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on February 01, 2014, 10:00:49 PM
Mono-red's really easy to put together for farming (you'll be skilling an Echidna anyways, Gigas is fairly easy to get and super-easy to skill), I'm already on your friend list running a maxed out Freyr.  And yeah, works really well with Byakko.  Pretty jelly with you having Kirin AND Byakko.

I pulled two times, and it's now been at least nine pulls in a row for me without getting a God.  Wooooooooooo.

From here I think I maybe spend some stones to get a Hera-Ur and work on a Goemon team?

so hamahime won the survey dungeon but since she can't be the boss, the boss will be the dark chaser (haku skillup) instead and she'll be the somewhat rarish invade like wicked lady in dragon in motley

they also announced that hanzo will get an ultimate,because dmeta team wasn't still strong enough apparently

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/425_1.jpg)

on a more surprising news, draggie knight is also getting an ultimate evo (probably to bring his skill up to x3 like all of the other king slimes)

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/426_1.png)

there is also a rumor going that the next set of biweekly dragon will have skillups for the new hero series, basicaly happy times for everybody except me :fbm

EDIT: forgot to add details about the last descend,the boss is indeed dark/wood and a dragon/devil, he comes with decent awakening (poison resist,enchant dark orb and skill boost) the dungeon is pretty easy (some people mentioned beating it with just jester dragon as a leader tanking all the damage) and for some reason it also comes with vritra skill ups

also groove coaster is coming back, i guess if you hurry up you can score the fake I&I from hello kitty and then skill her up with the blue space invaders
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on February 10, 2014, 06:51:11 AM
so not only hanzo but the other sengoku monster are getting a busty too... here's chiyome

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/435_1.jpg)

the riders are also getting new busties

in the meanwhile it seems today there will be a megaupdate that adds all of the new egyptian/ripper/healer girl that japan has got so far which i guess also means tri-fruit will be up next event

Post by: magus on February 12, 2014, 10:15:12 AM
more evo in their way for the japanese version

Ultimate Water Ripper - Gain Fire Sub-Attribute - Gain Physical Sub-Type - +800 HP - barrier skill upgraded from 50% to 55%
Ultimate Hanzo - Gain Dark Sub-Attribute - +150 ATK - LS skill changed from 1.5x to all stat for attackers to 1.5x to hp and rcv AND 2x to attack for attackers
Ultimate Chiyome - Gain Fire Sub-Attribute -  +100 HP/+50 ATK/+30 RCV - LS skill changed from 2x to atk and rcv to balanced type to 2.5x atk and 2x rcv to balance type
Ultimate Fuma - Gain Light Sub-Attribute - +500 HP - LS upgraded like hanzo except for physical monsters instead

Ultimate hanzo sounds really interessing,if you do double hanzo you can make a 2,25/4/2,25 team... and if you pair with ares you could create a 3/4/1,5 team... wonder how well that would work

single orb enchancer like horus are also getting their skill minimum CD decreased to 5 for all it matters

Wood Hera Descend announced! they are really working hard on covering the lack of wood descend

(http://i.imgur.com/BbXPutR.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/CNpaZJ1.png)

what else... i haven't made up much progress these days, just chilling and collecting pengdra's and plants and leveling up monsters and the like as i got tons of descend monster to focus on... i've been paying particular attention to goemon since he can basicaly destroy any descend that doesn't feature pre-emptive which include zeus

i also i tried doing some of the biweekly dragon but...

1) the red pirate hits too hard even for lucifer,i guess he really needs to break over level 50 to take on harder stuff
2) the light mech dragon has monsters that bind dark monster so lucifer is a no go

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND more details about wood hera

Hera-Beorc - Wood/Dark - God/Devil - 3256/1765/274 - Resist Light/Resist Light/Resist Light

AS: same as zeus-dios
LS: 70% light damage reduction

basicaly fuck light

EDIT: goddamn green hera dungeon sounds super annoying

Round 1 - Dark/Light Hades - 4,444,444 hp - pre empitive reduce orb movement time,deals 177,776 damage after 6 turn
Round 2 - Ultimate Leviathan - pre emptive skill binds, deals 2549 on his furst turn then the amount double every next turn
Round 3 - Ultimate Alraune - pre emptive heal, bind when less at 50% hp
Round 4 - Green Hera - pre emptive makes her immune to light for 10 rounds

soooooo

dmeta can't do it because she get murdered by hades
lucifer can't tank

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

so you guys might want to start saving stones... according to anime site crunchyroll the evangelion collaboration is coming next month

http://m.crunchyroll.com/article/?id=67925

features

- a REM choke full of attackers
- the 6 star of the set comes with a x3 attacker LS and an AS similiar to lucifer
- dungeon feature skillups for green odin,isis and archdemon lucifer
- the boss is a dark attacker that comes with one of those fancy ignore defense damage skills which can fits a dmeta team
- it also seems that a misato monster not present in the original REM set will be there so there is also chance for other skill up monster and or bosses showing up
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Human Snorenado on February 19, 2014, 07:37:29 PM

well after you get a team that can do most of the descend in a reliable manner there isn't much to do other than skilling up stuff for any eventual future dungeon,that said didn't you stone your way through several of them? :heh

anyway, more japanese updates

- some sort of new gaming mode (or whole new game? i'm not sure) where you can play as a tamadra is going to get released, no idea what is the purpouse of it all... you can also dress the tamadra like amaterasu,valkyrie or satan

Misato - 2395/1680/282 - Fire/Light - Attacker - Enchance Fire Row/Enchance Fire Orb/Skill Boost/Bind Resist

AS: turn dark and heart orb into fire orbs
LS: not sure about this but i think it's attacker get atk 2.5x and rcv 2x

The Ninth Angel (Evangelion invade mob) - 2053/1378/-200 - Dark - God/Attacker

AS: dark enchance (same as cerberus)
LS: something something attacker 1.5x

godfest announced,it's indian - archdemons... usualy this would be a pretty sucky godfest but recently the RGB indian have been buffed so that they give x3 atk to their respective color,and archdemons are now orbchanger that comes with 2 row enchance and 2 skill boost,belial in particular has tons of friend as there are a lot of good fire/dark devils like hera-ur and red sonia... the dark archdemon fallen angel lucifer also now comes with a nuke AND a dark orb enchance and that orb enchance will be skillable next week when the evangelion collaboration comes

that said i probably won't roll unless the godfest also fall within a light/dark festival

the new dragon only descend is also coming tomorrow... my dragon are still sucky and underleveled but i heard master is really easy so i might try it just in case

I think I can F/L my Horus now that I have Lakshmi's RCV

So team will be F/L horus, B/G Lakshmi, Yomi, Orochi, Echina, and either F/F horus, L/L Ra, or Baset friend.

Fully awoken, that is an extra 2.5 seconds, :lol  Decent HP, 2 skill boosts but low RCV.

rolled twice,first roll was a flame golem (between drops and the pal machine this is like my 4th one) the second roll was a sylph, kinda happy with the sylph, most people don't like elemental but i think they are under-rated and as all of the elemental are balanced type,sylph is the one that is in the right color

EDIT: wow zombie dragon is like the easiest descend ever,i went in with a party that had like level 20 monster and still won without breaking a sweat

Kirin is seriously ridiculous.

mmm... well,i think they gave her more awakening because she got like half of the vote when it came to picking ultimate evo monster,she's really popular... that said +350 HP and enchanced orb and skill boost aren't that great,i'd say the biggest upgrade are

1) sub light element,when you are hitting with a 25x multipler every little bit adds up
2) time boost,if you are a combo/color leader you need this,all of the other color/combo leader had one
3) having a physical sub-type make her an amazing sub for takeminekata for when you'd rather have a team that doesn't automaticaly die when certain color decide to not appear
4) the physical sub-type open 75x atk possibilities with king bubblie,but with that said i'm not sure i'd give up echidna,valkyrie and angelion and the number of decent wood physical subs isn't exactly great with the two best option being either hercules or the new parvaati

the buff on L.meta is nice and makes her a lot more usable as a leader,i'd say the one who really got screwed up was lucifer... a little extra attack helps with dealing against high defense demons but otherwise it doesn't do much,and the change to his sub-attribute means he now get binded by hera-ur,if they made him a devil at least he would have been a good sub for ronia with his amazing rcv

i'm kinda pissed that there are 2 ultimate mech dragon,i collected 2 of each on purpouse knowing this was coming and now it turns out i needed 3 of each >:(

having a x3 attacker lead in lilith is nice,maybe poor player can now build weakass 12x team with friends d.meta?

what else... unicorn introduction to the amazing world of the healer team is nice but the only myth beast i have is cerberus and between super hadar and the zombie dragon i'm not sure there is a reason to pay him any attention anymore

oh by the way,here's a video of the gold keeper dungeon which you need to beat in order to evo kirin,the two mechdragons or the alternate version of siegfried and cu-chu

With two Kirin leaders and those awakenings, you're looking at 100% enhanced light orbs (assuming you've got a Valk or Verche, and why wouldn't you?), two 13-turn minigravities, an 8-turn Echidna, and an extra second  of matching time.  Very handy for short descends where stalling is difficult.

but more importantly artwork for the new descend boss gaia which from the look of it will be just wood or wood/water,they really picked up the slack on wood descend,this is like the 3rd in a row

(http://i.imgur.com/Wru6BEL.jpg)

also a new guerrila dungeon that just drops evolution material is going to be released,not as interessing as the new baby tamadra guerrila dungeon buy ehy! free stone and chance to get extra dub myth,will take 35 stamina per run

stat about the new busties are out,no real surprise other than kraken losing attacker and gaining physical... which kinda sucks for the shinji & kaworu team

Ult Hatsume
2129/1205/708 (0/+100/+30)
Lead skill: Healer Type 2x ATK and 1.5x HP/RCV

Ult Kraken
2611/1629/-50 (+400/0/+50)
Physical/Devil type
Lead skill: Physical Type 2x HP/ATK

Ult Griffin
935/1639/465 (+300/+100/0)
Lead skill: Attacker type 2x HP/ATK

the real surprise is that D/L batman is getting an ultimate!

+200 HP/+50 ATK/+20 RCV and for some reason a devil subtype,wonder if that make him usable as a satan sub

EDIT: gaia stats and skills!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bii13BSCQAAictn.jpg:large)

Gaia - Wood/Wood - God/Attacker - 2065/1540/494 - Enchance Wood Orbs/Blind Resist/Enchance Wood Row

AS: reduce damage by 35% for 1 turn,recover 4000 hp
LS: attacker attack increase by 3.5x your recovery get cuts in half

it seems like a weird mish-mash between owning tamadrapurin and a weaker d.meta, but i'd say the biggest problem is that all of the monsters that would make her work are rare and unpopular like sasuke,the green rider and griffin

if you do decide to roll the evangelion REM do note that it has a very hard hitting wood attacker with come's which also come with a mini-boost to attacker type and 2 wood row awakening's
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on March 13, 2014, 08:14:45 AM
Update 6.4.2 is out,features!

- new awakening for all of the god REM pulls, most importantly bind immunity for RGB romans,an extra skill boost on norse god,an extra enchance row on arch demons,autoheal on lucifer, a lot of the god's with meh awakening getting extra enchance row or skill boost
- hero series LS changed so that it's easier to activate
- resist awakening upgraded from 2% to 3%
- evo descend degraded into extra difficulties for daily dungeons (which also means tri-fruit is avaiable today)
- all of the uvo beside the last 2 batches including shiva,all of the rippers,all of the bad/late bloomer dragon,some of the ninja and the 2 new version of siegfried and cu-chu
- health bar now change color depending on your percentage of health
- 50 stamina dungeon now have a score feature, you get scored based on number of combo's,turn and average rarity of team,if you get ranked with an S you also score a free tamadra

godfest announced JP 2.0/Heroes

this is a pretty decent godfest,i'd be happy to score izanagi and in a minor measure okunikushi or kushinada (or heck i guess even ame-no-uzume considering all of the fire gods i own) and the heroes series is somewhat popular,in fact the dark one was even in the last japanese player choice godfest

still since i own kirin and orochi,i really want apollo to build that kirin physical team that looks so hot

no yomi skill up after 5 tried :(

also the evolve martial for the blue ones is two fucking water keepers each and Lackshmi needs like 13*6*2 water keepers for a good chance at full skill up for an active that is complete shit anyways.  So gay.

edit:  that is 3900 stamina just to get the water keepers, fuck.

edit:  that is 3900 stamina just to get the water keepers, fuck.

skilling up stuff sucks that's why i'm wasting all my stamina trying to get all of my important mons to level 70 at least

anyway info on the new descend is out, it's cost limited to 14 which let you bring echidna and homura at full standard evolution at least

round 1 - bunch of treants on super slow timer,super high defense and they hit for 9000 if you let them attack (and also binds if low on hp)
round 2 - pretty much the same thing except without the defense it's a wood/water tiamat that hit for 18000 a
round 3 - 2 cockatrice and 1 centaur - the cockatrice can bind and jammer, the centaur has a multi hit skill and high defense,they don't hit hard but considering you have a team with unevoed monster in it,they'll probably insta-kill you if they attack all at once... the centaur also go into rage mode after you kill the cockatrice's
round 4 - wood/light ceres, turns random orbs into heart orbs,heart orbs into wood orbs... after getting below 50% she bind all fire monster,waste a turn and then fire a mega attack
round 5 - gaia, pre-emptive of absorbing fire for 5 turns,turns random orbs into hearts,uses an attack that brings you to 1% hp like cu-chu and shouki and has a skill that cause bind,nothing of interess otherwise

looks more horrible than wood hera to be honest,at least you don't have to bring sucky monster there

here's a video of hisoka (works sort of like a smaller tamato takeru,atk 3.5x when matching x fire orbs together) doing it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VbD5-y0XKQ

and a video of asuka for a monster that is going to actualy be avaiable here (atk and hp x2 to attackers) doing it having a much harder time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bChpeRgHFE

tamadrapurin seems another popular option

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nCceF8jqJo

my only option for these low cost dungeon is badz-maru,i'm happy i rolled him but i'm not sure if he has enough bang for this

3 pulls

- ifrit (didn't have one and he doesn't completly suck anymore)
- aaaaaaaand U&Y DUPE

Congratulation pad! you fucking did it! you gave me my first dupe god even though the chance of it happening were minimal

I have no idea whatsoever what to do with it... feeding it would be a waste, i guess he would be a decent sub for the other U&Y or maybe i can hope for a branching evo so that both get proper use... considering they are brothers i could see a wood/water evo where the brother switch

Heracles would actually work on my horus team if I got the skill time down to match Orochi's, hmmmm.  It means I would get between 24X-37.5X for four turns with no fight back;  assuming I can delay for 24 turns before the final boss.  Better stats than Izanagi too.

a new normal dungeon is going to be introduced with a fire and water dragon as bosses

(http://i.imgur.com/9TfXX8B.jpg)

the fire dragon get fire atk x4 when hp is full

(http://i.imgur.com/HfclHOZ.jpg)

the water dragon get water atk x4 when hp is full

(http://i.imgur.com/BFPDouX.jpg)

uh that sounds like a pretty usefull skill for something given for free and not even in a descend dungeon,bet the dungeon is really hard

first archdemon UVO revealed which i guess implies the other are coming too, amon looks boss as fuck

(http://i.imgur.com/t1QtlSP.jpg)

new descend boss looks like another light monster

uuuuuuuurrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh so annoyed

with the release of the evangelion dungeon we now have the first score based dungeon,if you score more than 140,000 point you automaticaly get a tamadra (first time only obviously) you get scored by number of turns,average combo and average rarity of your team and one way to do so is to run the dungeon with just 2 valkyrie and 1 king shynee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phdQeItdAak

well turns out doing so is really hard! i died like an idiot on round 3! i really should have tried my first run of it with a standard team before attempting to do stuff like that

if you do it with a fully loaded team the only way to score big enough is to have a combo average of 8+,that's pretty crazy

those are some serious buff

- the non-kirin chinese just got a whole lot stronger as that all orb enchancing awakening now get put to use even when they use her skill
- both kagu and athena have amazing attack AND two-way pronge,with such a buff they now hit for like 3,000... U&Y also got better and now sits at 1,800 atk... alas the other water mon with two water pronged don't really fits but there is shinji & kaworu and they too have almost 2,000 attack
- the resist awakening... i've always been a big fan of these,but i'm sort of worried that they might make monster with multiple of them (there is a series of dragon that has like 5 resist awakening of a single color each) a little too abusable... i mean if you had a monster that resisted 20% of the damage you are going to take with just having to spend a slot you would do it in a batter of eyes no?
- nobody cares about heal bind

also it kinda annoys me that finaly we got resist awakening buffed to 3% here in us only to be told the day after that we are out-dated again

- zeus-dios leader skill going from 3.5x atk when hp <80% to <99%

- izanami active defense buff now absorb more damage (no idea by how much)
- isis active now heal 2 turns worth of bind instead of just 1
- l.meta get an extra bind recovery awakening
- all of the monster with switch skills (the stone dragon,the mystic dragon and tengu) CD reduced to a minimum of 6

graphics for a red odin purin have also been found but no idea if it's a new monster and if it is what he does and the like

Post by: magus on March 26, 2014, 08:57:21 AM
game has recently reached the 30 million download worldwide which means a pretty big event is coming soon... as usual free stones and descend are included (on 29 there is a mystery descend which is likely going to be hera-beorc) but the real interessing part is that two new collaboration are coming

- first there is the gungho collaboration,it features some old skillup like

valkyrie
toytops/parvaati
drall
a bunch of breath skills nobody cares about

but mostly important it features new skill up for

amon
anubis (especialy important considering his new status as an attacker orb changer,can you say proto-hanzo?)
bastet
isis in case you don't want to bother evolving multiple fifth angel

the second collaboration is with ragnarok odyssey,it's 5 round with fixed encounter so you always know what you get

- round 1 is against valkyrie/siegfried/cu-chu skill up
- round 2 is against kagutsuchi/bastet skill up
- round 3 is against minerva skill up
- round 4 is against susano skill up
- round 5 is against a special monster called hrungnir which come with water/wood orb enchance which make him really usefull if you have U&Y or isis (as it let you build an all water physical team that cover all the color if you have bodin)

unfortunately the dungeon can only be accessed by monster with a rarity of 4 or less which mean you'll likely have to pull out your low cost team,which is probably going to be fire based and therefore have problem against hrungnir water element

some new info from japanese side

- RGB pirates appear in the latest 88 stamina dungeon in case you still need to skill up U&Y/Kushinada/Chiyome even after the pirate dungeon are gone
- the new descend info is out

(http://blog-imgs-69.fc2.com/p/a/z/pazusoku/1119s.jpg)

Sandalphon - Light/Water - God/Healer - 2645/1207/615 - Boost Light Row/Boost Light Orbs/Bind Resist

LS: healer hp 1.5x and attack 2.5x
AS: healer attack 2x and reduce damage by 35% for 2 turns

monster in the dungeon (no mention in what order they appear)

unicorn (has a chance to drop) turns random orbs into light orbs but has sucky stat
uriel, eats heart orb when low on hp
gabriel, bind leader and hit player for 99% of his damage
michael, i think he binds both leaders, high defense with low hp and he also hits progresively harder each turn until he hits for over 50,000 damage
raphael, absorb dark damage for 10 turn, on 5th turn hits for 134,000 damage... 2,500,000 hp
uvo archangel, changes orb around
sandalphon, bind skills as pre-emptive,binds god monster for 10 turn after going below 50% hp and hits for 23,000 if below 30% hp

the dungeon also has a gimmick where you can't bring multiple of the same monsters which force you to use two different leaders, no mention whetever you can cheat by bringing alternate version of the same monster (like says F/L horus and F/F horus) though

I think I'm done with PAD. Missed a log in Tuesday for the first time in 300 days.  What was happening Tuesday, I wonder...

to be honest i'm starting to lose interess somewhat too... the new descend seems to fall all in the same patterns (one monster use skill bind! one monster hits really hard! the boss absorb the element he's weak to!) training new monster to use takes a lot of effort so you always stick to the same team and they keep adding monster that just have mix & match variation of stuff that already exist... i mean look at this video of the latest descend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTiXLU6d-74

still when i quit monster hunter 3 i did it because there was no more content, so it's kinda hard to quit when they do keep adding stuff especialy when it takes just a few minutes to log in and do whatever i need to do, that said should i keep updating this thread? sometimes i kinda feel like a crazy guy talking to myself :lol

godfest report

roll 1: silver egg - ivory dragon (nice! i wanted one,better than a knight at least)
roll 2: silver egg - omfg! another silver egg! ifrit... dupe!
roll 3: silver egg - allright allright,i can feel it,it's a fruit dragon! sylphy... another dupe!

i don't know why the rem likes to build my already low silver egg hope with horrible dupe's, i mean beside ifrit and sylphy the only other silver i have is tiamat and that would have been justificable by the dark festival at least

i cleared the RO dungeon on master but i got close to death several times,being forced to use sucky monster is an horrible horrible experience, that jerk of the boss didn't even drop

Died on RO masters.  Two batmans but I didn't have the RCV I needed.

i did master with badz-maru (x3 atk when combo at least 5) and a batman and yeah healing was the worst part,i had a RCV of around 1000 and there was a point where i survived with 59 hp remaning
my team was

level max bad badz-maru
level 65 lilith
level max dark keeper
level max unevoed cerberus
level 34 king flamie

i'm in desperate need of more batmans to try again, so wanna team up?

i've had quite a bad beat for a while too (the last god i pulled was orochi back when the player godfest was a thing on january i think?) but honestly i have kirin for when i need a really high attack,lucifer to tank hits and bastet for those situation where i can't use kirin so can i really complain?

yes i wanted apollo to finish my amazing all physical kirin team, GIVE ME APOLLO CAJOLE

Post by: magus on April 02, 2014, 05:03:52 PM
i've cleared master on the RO collaboration 5 times and all 5 times i got a gold chest, you have no idea how pissed off i am because this dungeon is horrible horrible horrible, i mean if i had someone that could enter the dungeon with an hp multipler and decent recovery it wouldn't be that bad, if i bothered getting some of those dumb shimonita leek when gunma was around,it would be a cakewalk!

but since the only worthwhile leader i have is badz-maru, it translates into being barely able to heal,attack's that take my whole health bar away and being forced to hit 5 combo almost every single turn for 20-25 turn in a row or die

the only consolation i have is that i got a skillup on bastet from a deviling that dropped... she only requires 6 more to max!

Post by: magus on April 03, 2014, 08:56:39 AM
one of the reason i rolled it's because this way if i got a bad dragon i know what bad dragon to not pick on gift of heaven (which was a good idea considering i got a new bad dragon)

anyway, uvo dino rider looks fucking boss

(http://i.imgur.com/nv9lz0y.jpg)

and the new descend boss seems to be coming in a dark and light version like izanami, it's none other than sanzo, the main character from Journey to the west (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_West)

(http://i.imgur.com/DnX33Mc.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/DdnTuaY.jpg)

they really should have just done a whole journey to the west set but with sun wukong being part of the hero series that idea is now ruined forever >:(

Clash of clan monster are also getting awakenings, the scrub skill up one are getting shitty one, the healer gets a dark resist and an auto heal,the dragon gets a fire row enchance and a skill boost and PEKKA gets an auto recovery,a skill boost and a dark sub element on top of that
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on April 04, 2014, 08:28:51 AM
the new descend is going to be cost limited to 20, lot of gods can enter the dungeon but only before evolving, if you have a spare god with a good leader skill that you aren't using,it might be a good idea to keep him unevolved for this descend

Uvo-No-Uzume artwork revealed, kinda gives me hope for U&Y getting alternate uvo

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1781874_815247138503880_1082704649979437261_n.jpg)

the new survey dungeon has been announced, the last dungeon (which still hasn't come to the us) was won by hamahime (hanzo skillup) but since she wasn't good enough to be boss material they put her as a random mob and the boss was the dark chaser (haku skillup) so this time they let player decide both the trash mob AND the boss...

the trash mob prize was won by

(http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/img/140407_anke_monster/ss1.jpg)

which is disappointing considering she already dropped from dark mystic and dragon in motley

and the boss prize was won by

(http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/img/140407_anke_monster/ss2.jpg)

which is easy as fuck to skill-up and not that rare from the rem at all, king baddie was apparently really close to winning instead which would have been so much better :beli

isis is also apparently going to get another buff though no mention in which form

why the fuck is the green rider called marine rider?

I just started this up again on a new phone. Got an Odin from an egg. Feels like they changed the starting experience from when last I played.

did you got one of the cool fire/water one or the sucky wood one?

anyway, info about some of the new uvo is out

Suzaku/Leilan Uvo 1

- Gain Wood sub-attribute
- Gain Balanced sub-type
- +100 HP/+100 ATK/+50 RCV
- LS changed into "attack x3.5 when you match any combination of 3 of these, fire, wood, light and hearts

Suzaku/Leilan Uvo 2

- Require Angelit
- Gain Light sub-attribute
- Gain Attacker sub-type
- -300 HP/+430 ATK/-30 RCV
- no change into LS
- 3 new awakening gained so people don't complain all the time about kirin, she gets enchant light row/two way attack (which now also boost the damage by 50% when you trigger it)/skill boost

UVO RGB Golems (these all get the same upgrade so i'm putting them all together)

- require 3 (!) gold keepers
- Gain Light sub-attribute
- +100 ATK/+100 RCV
- LS changed into "atk x3 when matching (golem color) + light"
- first awakening changed from enchant (golem color) orb to bind resist, giving them full bind immunity

Ultimate Ame-no-Uzume

- Gain fire sub-attribute
- Sub-type changed from balanced to attacker
- +350 ATK
- LS changed from "fire monster atk x3.5 when hp is above 80%" to "fire monster atk x3.5 when hp is above 50%"

Isis

new B/B Isis now feature the same LS of the old B/L isis
new B/L Isis is the same but she now also count hearts, so matching all colors + hearts will now yield a 4.5x multipler

kind of a shame R/L suzaku isn't physical, you could build a nice team with the like of gigas,takeminekata and parvaati

the update with all the cool evo has just hit the us which means i now really need to beat gold keeper for kirin...

and here's a video of the new descend, remember 20 cost and under only so only unevoed god can enter it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45NLgAnmGUo

mostly notable the boss on round 5 absorb dark and the boss on round 6 absord light, which translates into lot of annoyance for quite some teams

lastly, a fire valkyrie has just been announced, now we just need the wood valkyrie to complete the whole set of the rangers!

i'm doing the CoC dungeon to skill up my freyja but it's an incredible pain in the ass, so far i'm only missing 2 skill ups so at least i can see the end near

anyway here's uvo marine rider (this time for real) it seems he's getting two-way attack twice,leading to him dealing 2,8x damage everytime you match 4 orb

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/556_3.png)

and it also seems uvo mask are coming so every material has now an uvo version

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/556_1.png)

so pretty big round of news today...

- the new descend is out, it's 10 round long and looks pretty hard but the real news is that it features mob that won't get hurt unless you combo over a specific amount (you need at least 5 combo for the sub-boss on round 9 and 6 combo for the boss at the end after/if he goes below 50% hp)

800 recovery make them the 4th monster with the highest recovery in the game, let alone out of all the monster that can enter low cost dungeon
then you add the fact that they know iron wall stance and that with 4 of them you can be in iron wall stance FOREVER and a team with 4 leek and 2 slyphy (wood monster hp x2.5) basicaly become like running the gimped version of lucifer

It's pretty a awesome game;  very addicting.  It also preys on gambling addiction.

Post by: Human Snorenado on April 27, 2014, 02:11:18 PM
There's really no reason for fandrex to NOT play the game.

1) He loves grindy shit like Pokemans and Monster Hunter
2) It's available on Android
3) GungHo supported his precious 'tendo with a DS version of the game

Only thing stopping him is his fear of new experiences.

Ya, this is basically a good version of pokemon without all the jank. 

I do wish is had an exploratory rpg mode that I could play though.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Tasty on April 27, 2014, 02:27:28 PM
Only thing stopping me is the reputation this game and the people who play it have. :lol But that doesn't really bother me enough to get in the way of playing it myself.

Although, in retrospect asking people on the 28th page of an OT for a game how they like it is probably like going to Vegas and asking if people like to gamble.

Post by: Human Snorenado on April 27, 2014, 02:30:49 PM
::)

The "addictive" argument is a load of shit. Ask Magoose how much money he's sunk into it. Oh wait, you don't have to, because you KNOW he's a cheap fuck.

The gameplay is quite good and will keep you coming back over the lengthy time it will take you to grind if you go the non-IAP route. If you want pointers, ask. You're better off waiting to start until there's a decent godfest so the first pull you get will have better odds at landing you an awesome main monster, though.

fandrex so bored with nintendo that he has to come here trying to troll :heh

anyway, it turns out that uvo belial is F/F instead of F/L, still i think having all these monster losing their secondary element is pretty idiotic

in other news, the two uvo mask also seems to be skill up materials, the blue mask is the skill-up for orochi and the green mask is the skill-up for avalon drake (a monster that we still don't have that change the whole board to wood and light)

god i really hoped i would never get a monster that requires one of those uvo material to skill-up :fbm

"the blue mask is the skill-up for orochi"

O shit;  I am so hard right now.  A 20 turn Orochi + skill boosts will make me unstoppable.  Also the masks should be on the Wednesday mythical level right?

:fbm

so you can score 1 of every rider except gryps? :heh

??? Wasn't trying to troll at all. I just installed the game.

some pointer if you are going to start... basicaly there are two ways to get monster in this game

- the first one is to pull out of the REM, this is a slot machine that pops out random monster of rarity between 3 and 5, the first roll is free so you want to start with a 5 star monster, the chance of getting a 5 star is pretty low but once every 15 days, the odds raises to decent for a specific subset of monster, this is called a godfest and we are going to have one in the next 2 days with the new set of gods so you might decide to actualy start for real when that happens

as for the gods, you want to start from something on this list that has at least 4 stars

http://pad.wikia.com/wiki/Valuable_Monsters

if you get any of the chinese, any of the red/green/blue egyptian, or archangel lucifer you've struck gold

each roll after the first cost 5 magic stones, this is the premium currency of pad, but you get a shitload of free stones, in fact i don't think i'm exagerating saying that just finishing the game give you like 75$ worth of premium currency, when godfest are coming they also usualy come together paired with event which also give you more free stones in fact we are having one right now

if you do decide to wait for the godfest as the odd sucks outside of one, try to aim for either lu bu, sun quan,xiao qiao or any of the special monster that are mentioned on that list

- the second are descend, these are super hard dungeon that give you exclusive monster, but you need to be pretty far in the game before you can tackle one

- lastly some of the usefull but lower rarity monster drops from normal dungeon, the odd of them dropping aren't that high but getting one helps


Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on April 28, 2014, 02:12:34 PM
L/Led my Ra.  Going to deevolve my Yomi and D/L it.  That means I can't F/L my horus but what ever.  I think L/L Ra will work in any descend F/L horus would. 

Also when I team up with another LL Ra, I have 2.5 extra seconds. 
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on April 29, 2014, 01:33:55 PM
New mask dungeon looks doable if you have a shit ton of skill resist monsters (which I do)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sv8WCQ7Uvw

I think this team would work for me

Either Ra or Horus lead and the other one a sub. Yomi, Perseus (just for the skill resist) and the ultimate of Marine rider (which means I'll have to beat the dungeon at least twice just to get the evo material).

This has full skill lock resist and Ra's active for the last floor.

Basically I should just need to stall enough for Ra's active on the last floor, and be able to combo enough for the second floor.

Also the riders are going to rock this dungeon with their two two-pronges.

Post by: magus on April 29, 2014, 02:02:11 PM
seems like the perfect dungeon for bastet

in other news, i got draggie with the 4 leek team above, but i had to stone because the guy still hit for like 9,000 every round after going below 25% hp and even with 6.25x hp you have less than 18,000

i really hate low cost dungeon

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on April 30, 2014, 08:39:11 AM
i finaly defeated gold keeper yesterday but it was not a nice experience, the standard kirin subs just don't have enough hp to get you up to 17,000 hp barring a full leveled team and several + eggs so i was forced to replace echidna with orochi, on round 4 you have to heal for back to full health AND kill the gold keeper in 3 turns or otherwise he one-shots you no matter what

then you get to the gold keeper and his HP pool is huge,it took me like 6 kirin burst before he died, and without a delayer the whole thing would have been just plain impossible

i wanted two gold keeper to use one on kirin and another on the dark mech dragon but really,the whole thing is an horrible horrible death trap

Post by: magus on April 30, 2014, 10:02:24 AM
ATTENTION PEOPLE!

if you are thinking of starting this game, doing it in 12 hours from now will give you better chance of pulling some really good starting monsters... in particular if you start off with lu bu, sun quan or even better xiao qiao, you are gold

One more roll with the compensation stones and got the green/physical Guan Yu.  Which seems to be a mismatch of color and type, but as they keep adding monsters and ultimate evos, I imagine it'll be easier to fill out a team for him.

yeah the number of wood physical monster is pretty small and pretty much consist of parvaati,hercules (whose active totaly will tank guan yu skill might i add),tengu and the green golem... if we had the hunter x hunter collaboration there would also be gon but gon also comes with x4 atk when hp is full which means at that point you might as well use him as leader instead

that said i guess you could use him as a sub in the all physical monster kirin team considering he comes with an auto heal and 2 skill boost awakening

Two stoned gold keeper with llraw ll karin team.   Fuck those preemptives.

having a fully skilled heart maker makes things a looooooooooooot more easier, having 2 delays so you can pop one on round 4 and the other on round 6 is also a good idea
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on May 06, 2014, 08:13:16 PM
I did two delays,  I lost a stone because I fucked up a combo on the last delay turn and 1 because I didn't heal enough before accidentally killing one of the keepers. 

Pretty sure now that I have done it, next time will be easier.   Also wish I had a golem on the team.

Yup.  I use a Drawn Joker on my Satan team, even though you get no healing.  Combine it with a Vampire and you're almost guaranteed enough dark orbs to make two rows.

I've got fully skilled Verche, Valk, Vamp, Gigas, Cu Chu, Siren, Drawn Joker, Angelion, with Siegfried and Fortoytops just one skill-up away.

Also fully skilled Freyr, which seemed like a pointless stamina sink at the time (he was my original REM pull, so call it sentimentality), but now that I've got Ame and Cao Cao it's actually going to be very useful.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

Yeah, I used to run a CDK on my Lucifer team, but DJ is just more versatile. Max skilling DJ and Vampire is an easy prospect now, and as a team they kick all kinds of ass.

- the next collaboration dungeon has been announced and it's going to be another ragnarok online collaboration... no mention about what skill up it contains but for the occasion they are going to release a mastering uvo

(http://i.imgur.com/2Nxu60L.jpg)

+100 ATK, gain a fire sub element and his leader skills get improved from "physical hp x2.5" to "physical hp x2.5 and atk x1.5", requires 5 more mastering to uvo

- there is a new instant dungeon that focuses on +eggs

- in a few days the descend rush dungeon is going to get released, rumor says it will feature things like a 10 million hp satan and a zeus-dios hitting you with a pre-empitive of over 22,000 damage, which sounds really fucking ridiculous

so this sounds like a really dumb idea...

- in japan starting from 16 to 30, everytime you enter a mythical difficulty dungeons there will be a chance that you will get invaded by a chinese monster (apparently what monster depends on the day and they switch around every day) decided to stall on a specific floor? TOO BAD! invade for you! here's leilan invading the chimera floor on zeus descend

(http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/img/140514_hogyoku/ss6_rold2c.jpg)

- everytime you defeat a chinese they will drop an orb, the non-kirin orbs all contains the relative chinese skills and can be used to skill up the relative chinese, the light orb contains indra skill and can be used to skill up indra

- if you gather 3 RGB orbs and 2 copies each of either light or dark you can uvo fagan,there is no currently no artwork of the 2 fagan's but the improvement are the seguent

Light Fagan

- Gains light sub element
- Main Type becomes dragon, subtype become physical, loses god type
- +300 HP
- LS improved to "4x atk to dragons AND physical monster when hp is full"
- additional auto-recovery awakening

Dark Fagan

- Change main element to dark, also gains light sub element
- +50 HP/+40 ATK/+50 RCV
- LS improved to "4x atk to dragons when hp is above 80%"
- additional skill boost awakening

i told myself i wouldn't spend all of my rolls on this godfest but somehow the godfest trolled me in a way that i tought wouldn't be possible which pushed me to do all 7 of them, so this is what i got

1. Gold Egg: OMFG WHAT LUCK,I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING... it's tiamat
2. Silver Egg: well allright i guess i could use a fruit dragon or another elemental or... oh it's siren...
3. Gold Egg: THIS IS IT, I CAN FEEL IT, TIME FOR SHIVA... oh, it's beast rider
4. Gold Egg. OMG ANOTHER GOLDEN EGG TODAY IT'S THE DAY,THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING... FUCKING HOMURA????????
5. Gold Egg. can we have a god now? oh! kushinada? thank you fucking god game even if i'm not sure what the heck i'm going to do with it
6. Gold Egg. so this is the 5th gold egg i'm pulling,surely this time it's going to be something usefull like ame-no-uzume,izanagi or shiva? indra...
7. Silver Egg. trashy dark golem

so to recap

i got 5 gold eggs, but only 2 gods and those 2 gods are indra and kushinada and i have no idea what to do with them because i already have bastet for a combo multipler god and indra just kinda sucks (though i guess he could fit my kirin team)

i tried once with double lucifer, the first floor is super easy, the second floor has enemy that are on a 8 turn timer giving you plenty of time to do your thing, it's the third floor where i died because i didn't realize the fire mask would bind all my dark/water monster :snoop

note to self: next time, murder the fire mask

anyway

- europe has recently got the takaoka collaboration which suggest it's going to come to the US version sooner or later,like gunma this is another "JAPAN AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY POWER!" this descend feature:

Skillup for horus/phoenix
Skillup for genie's
Amberjack is a water/water physical double orb changer (dark orbs into water, wood orbs into heart) who in his pre-final evo also double as a decent low cost leader (atk x2.5 when water,fire and light attack all together)
Himi Udon is a light/fire physical monsters with an healing skill which i guess could be usefull if paired with takeminekata or in a future uvo fagan team
lastly the boss is a wood/light double orb changer (fire orbs into wood,dark orbs into heart) that got decent awakenings (enchance wood row/autoheal/skill boost)

- new PADZ monster are coming to the game, and we haven't even got the first set! which is especialy annoying now that we have access to avalon skillup!

Orochi Dumber Brother Exa hydra

AS: enchance dark orbs and reduce damage taken for 2 turns (by...? 35% i assume, that seems the standard when it comes to these sort of double effect)
LS: dragon atk x3.5 when hp is above 50%

- the stat for the new eco tiny alma uvo are out, it requires another eco tiny alma and it gets, +100 HP/+100 ATK, a light subelement and her LS improve to "atk x3 when hp is full"

- GC crab uvo also gets +150 HP/+100 ATK/+30 RCV,a light sub element and an improvement to his time extend LS which nobody cares about... the GC mob are also all getting awakenings,the crappy one gets two forked attack, GC crab get a light row enchance and UFO get a jammer resistance

- some japan only monster called plan is also getting an uvo, dragon/balance, some crappy damage skill and decent awakenings (enchance wood row/enchance water row/skill boost)

O ya forgot they did that, and that's what saved my ass.  I need to figure out how much damage I can do on the first level without killing everything for stalling.

done with lucifer, this is a really easy dungeon as long as you bring a 4/1/4 team, quickly mop round 3 with area attack and bring something to deal with the blue mask (lucifer can easily do it with 2 gravities and 2 morning stars) the only other danger is accidentaly killing the green mask before the skill lock goes away by skydrop matching too many 5 orbs

skill resist aren't even required and really are there just to make things quicker because stalling for 100 turn is boooooooooooooooring

anyway, the new monster details are out

fucked up again and used ra right away on teh final room, then the other mask just powers up and kicks my ass.  Even two 36X only got it down to half life.  This is hard.  I wish I could stall somewhere for Orochi

Hmm to role during the gala or wait for the players choice godfest.

the last time there was a special gala, i rolled twice and got shits...

as for the players choice godfest, the answer is easy

how many of the following monster from this list you have?

1. [1237] Da Qiao & Xiao Qiao - 1235 Votes
2. [140] Yomi - 990 Votes
3. [911] Red Dragon Caller, Sonia - 894 Votes

kirin,horus,lucifer,bastet and orochi are bound to win... i have 4 out of 5 of these, which considering at least some godfest exclusive give me a 1 in 3 chance to pull a dupe, which makes me wary of pulling

Guess who has two Hakus and a boner right now? THIS GUY.

i'm really puzzled they went this way, because haku is now way better than sasuke or gryps rider barring type and i think the first orb changer with 2 enchance row of the same color, i honestly tought the lit version would have been D/B with a water enchance row added considering like every devil on the face of earth is D/B

dungeon is no awakening skills (in spite of creepy and his dumb dmeta team :umad)

God/Balanced
Cost: 40
HP:3250 ATK:1249 RCV:466
Awakenings: Enchant Water Row/Bind Resist/Skill Bind Resist

Active Skill: delay enemies for 1 turn and enhance water orbs
23->14 turns

Leader Skill: Balance type x2.5 ATK, x1.5 RCV

eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh looks like a pretty meh monster to be honest
seems more like an attempt to invite people into trying to build water balanced team with stuff like I&I and fenrir

i have 5/17... which give me a slightly lower than 1 in 3 chance of not drawing a double... i'm surprised yomi is that high, x3 to light monsters doesn't sounds like anything special and CTW kinda requires you a really specific team to make it work,i'd like to pull shiva,pandora,lu bu or persephone but at this point might as well wait for the relative godfest where i have less chance of picking another double

in other news it seems all of the monster in the dragon ball collaboration will be dragon's

and frieza comes with a 25% gravity activity which you can also bring on low cost dungeon as long as you don't evolve him

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eQrzZ68UMBY/U4ggNo1vD9I/AAAAAAAAmKs/sOpfNyd_YYU/s1600/1.png)

EDIT: the dragonball rem seems to contain the following character so far

goku: fire - seems to have some color based LS like ra
yamcha: fire
vegeta: dark
jiaozi: dark
tenshinhan: wood
piccolo: wood
adult trunks: water
child gohan: water
krilin: light

the dungeon beside frieza as the boss drops member of the ginyu force's, they seems to have their own AS rather than being skill up fodder, there is still no info on what their skill does other than captain ginyu has a LS that give you 3.5x atk if your other 4 monster slots contain the other member of the ginyu force, that's pretty cool and assuming the member's don't suck too much, really easy to activate :lol

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on June 02, 2014, 01:53:28 PM
the DBZ monsters look shitty.

well there are 2 delays in the silver egg that are always usefull, vegeta looks like a decent hanzo alternative for dmeta based team's,all of the rare's have good leader skills,enchance rows,skill boost and a type to abuse type multipler monsters like the slime and depending on their stat their nuke might be more worth than it look (if piccolo for example has at least 1,500 atk, he would hit as hard as lucifer)

i'd say the real problem is that

1) if you have the equivalent god (trunks/vegeta vs chinese,diao vs goku, horus vs gohan) there is no real reason to switch
2) a shorter CD would be preferable than a nuke that will probably deal less than a 6 digit number
3) a lot of these card have very weird typing (krilin is like the 3rd balanced light monster in the game, piccolo too is in completly the wrong color,trunks blue attacker? awfull) and the dragon subtype doesn't help either because everybody hates dragon (especialy bad for goku whose skill increase dragon damage)

stats for the dbz monster,comparison with similiar rem alternative and max damage caused by the nukes

Goku : 3758/1314/153  (689)  at max level nuke would deal 131,400 damage
by comparison da qiao & xiao qiao : 2415/1221/641 (699)

Gohan : 3220/1404/292 (700)  at max level nuke would deal 140,400 damage
by comparison horus :  3105/1174/570 (735) or 2805/1824/90 (675)

Vegeta : 2458/1905/164 (681)  at max level nuke would deal 152,400 damage
by comparison hanzo : 1389/1898/480 (678)
by comparison haku : 3293/1741/179 (737)

Trunks: 2568/1944/117 (684) at max level nuke would deal 155,520 damage
by comparison karin: 4005/1401/194 (745)

Yamcha: 2578/1319/353 (639) at max level nuke would deal 26,380 damage
by comparison bastet: 3010/1107/685 (750)

Tenshinhan: 2795/1418/229 at max level nuke would deal 42,540 damage

Krilin: 2603/1264/382 at max level nuke would deal 37,920 damage

Jiaozi: 2520/1235/409 (653) at max level nuke would deal 24,700 damage
by comparison thanatos: 1998/1303/344 (575)

Piccolo: 2703/1318/347 at max level nuke would deal 263,600 damage

the nuke on the rare's are a lot bigger than i tought, all of them hits almost as hard as lucifer if you are hitting a weak element and with half of the CD to boot... if you made a team that use vegeta and archdevil lucifer together you would deal around 600,000 dark damage even BEFORE actualy attacking... i'm especialy surprised by piccolo who's just 40,000 damage short out of lucifer range

Anyone in here farm King of the Gods regularly?  I can get through it with my Kirin team, but I have to stall for 30 turns to wait for the extra gravity, and it's a bit susceptible to getting orb-trolled.

Theorycrafting a red attacker team (I have Cao Cao, Ame no Uzume, Freyr, and a Dragon Rider) or something with Satan and maybe a Lu Bu friend?  The trick is getting through that second to last mob while still having enough skills left to nuke the boss.

i can't even beat king of the gods, let alone farm it

that said i think most people either run goemon or satan (the cool satan team with like a bajillion of dark rows) when it comes to farming

Since PAD is still not available here I've been playing the silly Dragon Coins knock off game. It's pretty fun, I guess! It's more or less the same formula as PAD right?

a lot of basic concept (collect monster, use monster to level up other monsters, leader skills) are the same, however PAD is a much more complicated game if you ask me

you could still get the APK/make an american iphone account you know?

anyway, remember those princess monster artwork i posted forever ago? it's confirmed they are the new biweekly dungeon

(http://www.puzzleanddragonsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/06/ss5_rshao6.jpg)

dungeon will feature skillups for 3 kingdom monster starting with cao cao and also the no-dupe restriction from the sandalphon dungeon

a new series of rem monster (that will probably be silver egg) has also been announced, this one will be fairy tale themed... here's snow-white

info on fire-zeus are out

(http://i.imgur.com/EWLJrCy.png)

God/Dragon
Fire/Light
3830/1303 (so a 65,150 nuke)/357
Awakening: enchant fire row/enchant fire orb/skill boost
AS: delay for 1 turn and 50x atk nuke
LS: Dragon atk x4 when hp below 80%

seems like a pretty dipshit move after just giving two uvo to fagan... i mean being able to stay below 80% hp is a lot easier than being over 80% hp

new godfest has been announced, 3kingdom-archangels-archdevils... i think i will roll, with both lucifer and uriel i think i'm pretty much done for archangels but 3k and archdevils are both really good set that i'm lacking of

anyway with the release of the fire-zeus descend more info has trickled out

Misc Info

- the fire-zeus descend feature monster that have ability that can control which orb drops, for example in this dungeon there is a very annoying enemy that raises both a fire barrier AND increase the amount of fire orb dropped by 50%

- neptune active is getting a buff and on top of the poison his active will also now boost god damage by 1.5x for 1 turn

- lakshmi active is also getting buffed from x10 atk to x20 atk thus also increasing the amount you heal for

- dark xuanzuang is also getting buffed from x5 atk to x7 thus also increasing the amount you heal for

- fagan and zaerog cost is getting cut in half, finaly making the monster viable for player that aren't above rank 200

- zaerog LS is algo getting buffed and now also provide dragon hp x1.35 on top of his x3.5 atk

New Evolution without info's

some of the ancient dragon will get uvo's, here's the water one

(http://i.imgur.com/DhxWjlm.png)

i made 5 of them, i got raphael on my first so i tought "let's keep going,until an archdevil or 3k pops out!"

toytops,golem (the same fire one of which i have like 4 already obviously), vampire, genie

well at least the genie has some use...

i have so many light REM monsters, kirin,baal,thor,indra and now raphael... i wonder if i should try raising an athena team with that uvo coming out and all

detailed info on athena and izanagi uvo

athena uvo

(http://i.imgur.com/70NufF0.jpg)

- gain attacker subtype
- gain the following awakenings, two-way attack,enchant wood row,skill boost
- +200 HP/+200 ATK
- LS changed to "god atk x3" to "god atk x3 and hp x1.25 (mistranslation? usualy it's always 1.35x maybe they tought god was such a common sub type that 1.35x was too much)
- requires light and wood chinese essence and an angelit

izanagi uvo

- gain physical subtype
- gain light sub attribute
- +500 HP
- LS changed from "god atk x3.5 when hp is above 80%" to "god atk and rcv x3.5 when hp is above 80%" (that's a pretty odd choice...)

other monster are also getting more awakening

light fagan gets an extra skill boost (so he now has resist fire,resist water,resist wood,auto recovery skill boost)
dark fagan gets two way attack (resist fire,resist water,resist wood,skill boost,two way attack)
uvo belzeebub gets skill boost and his enchant water orb awakening gets changed to two way attack (enchant dark orbs,resist dark,two way attack,bind resist, skill boost)

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on June 17, 2014, 11:41:51 AM
honestly i have no idea but i assume it's pretty much like the standard valkyrie team so...

- valkyrie for the extra light orbs
- echidna for the delay
- angelion/fuu/siren to make more heart orbs for valkyrie to eat
- king shynee/sandalphon for the type multipler

other monster you might want to consider

da qiao & xiao qiao (comes with enchant light row, another orb changer,LS is a x4 multipler if you pair with it and use a rainbow team which is basicaly just a matter of finding a dark healer monster if you use the standard team)
UVO unicorn (comes with enchant light row,active enchance light orbs)
light zhuge liang (LS: healer attack x4 when hp is full, double enchance light & water orbs,comes with two, two way attack and enchant light row, basicaly what everyone wanted lmeta to be in the first place)
archangel (nobody like this monster but it comes in the right color combination and also comes with 2 auto heal and an healing active which helps with keeping the multipler up)
amaterasu & ceres (like archangel but better)

pandora is actualy considered a really good monster and considered you rolled on a completly random time when the odds sucks, i'd say that's a pretty good start...

i'm not sure it's a monster suitable to someone starting the game though...

Post by: Mandark on June 29, 2014, 10:35:18 PM
The first rare egg from the machine is kinda important, since you really need one of a limited number of Gods to be able to take on the later dungeons, and re-rolling that first one is the only way to guarantee you get one rather than being trolled forever by the RNG gods.

Arvie's right, though.  Pandora's a good 'un.

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on June 30, 2014, 09:40:21 PM
yeah, kirin/valk/angelion/echidna/orochi/kirin is pretty much the only team i use for descend content especialy now that i max skilled valk (i might switch orochi for sandalphon given that it basicaly buff all my subs and cover blue without being blue)

this new descend is long and has some annoying spots (like the usual monster that counts down 3 and then kills you) but it doesn't have anything that will instantly murder you, but the monster is another light orb enchancer, like it's the third fucking one

at this point descend are more of a challenge effort first and a way to get usefull monster second, the only recent descend that actualy comes with something usefull is fire zeus which has a dragon atk x4 when hp below 80% LS

Yessss this finally came out here today.

Any tips so I get started the right way?

most of the monsters in this game came from a magic slot machine, a spin of the magic slot machine cost 5 magic stone (each magic stone is around a dollar... but don't worry you get plenty for free!) the first spin is free so most people suggest to abuse the first free spin and redo it over and over until a gold egg pop out

godfest are special event that happens around every 2 weeks were the machine has incredibly high chance to pop out specific gold eggs so if you decide to start when a godfest start it will spare you a lot of time

of course you could start with just a chump egg or just reroll with the normal odds (which aren't that great... it once took me 20 first roll to get a gold egg to pop out outside of godfest)

if you decide to reroll try to pick something that is high ranked from this list

http://pad.wikia.com/wiki/Valuable_Monsters

on general you want one of these

- a chinese monster (especialy kirin)
- Umi & Yama
- one of the RGB egyptian
- Diao Qiao & Xiao Qiao
- archangel lucifer make the begin of the game piss easy, but he get outclassed later

consider that they keep changing monster everytime, some of the monster that made sucky starter have gotten skill that have made them much better and nowadays a pretty big variety of team is considered playable so if you don't get any of those you might consider keeping whatever you get in order to spare frustation

My problem with early PAD is that the fusion/level system is incredibly grindy. At least from outside looking in. In SMT, you have a compendium and every demon you get or make is recorded for ease of access. If I fuse two important demons, all I have to do is enter them into the compendium before hand, fuse, and go back to the compendium, pay a price, and get them back. No hassle. In PAD, you fuse just to LEVEL UP, and in order to get your monsters again, you need to actually re-fight them, cross your fingers they drop an egg, and start the process over.

I like PAD. But I keep comparing the fusing in my head to SMT, and after 13 years of playing those games I find the leveling/fusion system incredibly flawed.

Unless I'm not understanding something! This is important to me because leveling/sense of becoming stronger incrementally is the carrot I need to play an rpg without towns and exploration.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on July 06, 2014, 08:47:07 PM
the amount of XP you get depend on the monster you fuse, there are 2 kind of monsters that give a lot of XP

- the first are called pengdra, they come in small version and big version, the small version gives around 6,000 xp while the big version gives around 30,000 xp, pengdra are found in pengdra village (a dungeon that appears randomly at certain moment) and technical dungeon (a series of dungeon that introduce monster having special skills that you unlock after finishing the 3rd tier of dungeon with castle of satan) the small pengdra can be turned into big pengdra with 2 materials, the first materials are dragon plant which drops in a dungeon that only appear on thursday, the second ingredient are jewel dragons...

- jewel dragons come in small,medium, big and super big variety, small jewel dragons are worth 1,000 xp (which is a pitiful amount) and can be feed to small pengdra for them to become big pengdra's, medium jewel dragons are worth 15,000 xp for RGB colors and 10,000 xp for the light/dark variety, big jewel dragon are worth 55,000 xp for RGB colors and 50,000 xp for light/dark and finaly super big variety are worth 100,000 xp... jewel dragons appear at specific hours during the day and which type of dragons appear also depends on the day, big and medium dragon are rare, and super big only appear in the super big variety of dungeon which happens less often than the normal variety

so basicaly the best way to level up your monster is...

A) get pengdra through technical dungeon or the special pengdra village dungeon that appear on certain day
B) get dragon plant on thursday
C) get jewel dragons of the color of the pengdra you collect to turns the small pengdra into big pengdra
D) fuse the big pengdra and the occasional medium/big/super big dragon on the monster you want to level

if you want to know when a time limited dungeon happens check this site
www.puzzledragonx.com

as a bonus if you fuse monster of the same color (so fire monster into fire monster) you get 50% the extra XP... so you want fire pengdra into fire monsters, water pengdra into water monsters and so on... the monster that normaly drops are trash whose only purpouse is to be used for really early leveling or as pengdra food at best, any demon/ogre/goblin/slime (well the slime are a special case in that they evolve into usable monsters) you get will easily get outclassed by later proper monsters

your starter dragon is also quite useless which is why most people recomend to roll the dang slot machine until something good pops out

Nice post. I landed Kotaro Fuma and Dub-rublit.

kotaro fuma is a decent monster but not a good starting one so you might want to restart the game and try to land something better

dub-rublit are used to evolve monster, as are mask monster,keeper monster, and rarely dragon flower/fruits... each of the evo monster has it's own dungeon that appears on a specific day of the week

new descend boss revealed (both of these seems to come from the same dungeon)

Sopdet

(http://i.imgur.com/4x0bEq0.png)

Awakenings:Enchance Light orbs/Enchance Dark Orbs/Skill boost
AS: change water orbs into heals, give you mass attack a-la bastet for 1 turn
LS: x2 atk when you match 2 of the following, light/dark/hearts, x3.5 when you match them all together

Thoth

(http://i.imgur.com/n8xKUZN.png)

Awakenings: Two-Prong attack,Skill Bind Resist,Auto Heal
AS: dark and light atk x1.5 for 1 turn
LS: extend orb movement time

also survey dungeon 9 has been decided, it will be dark fairy (pandora skillups) + light pirate (fuma skillups)

himu, as i said fuma isn't the best monster to lead with, if you lead with him you will have a monster that give physical monster hp and rcv x1.5 and atk x2... however in this game attack is the most important stats and all of the popular leaders are usualy monster that can deal truckload of damage at whim, even then light physical monster are somewhat rarish (but not totaly uncommon) so it's hard to build a team centered around them

however one of the best way to deal damage is to usualy use orb changer (which fuma is) and abuse passive skills known as awakenings (and fuma awakenings are quite good) so as i said, he's still worth keeping, just you might start having trouble down the road as the game gets harder... awakenings are unlocked by evolving a monster to it's final stage and then feeding them monster know as tamadra, these usualy pops randomly from the metal dragon dungeons or from the pal machine or sometimes they are given away as freebie's, alternatively you can feed a monster himself and that will unlock it's awakenings too (so another fuma to your fuma, though if you get another fuma you probably shouldn't do that)

another thing... each monster usualy requires a certain amount of turn before their skills become avaiable, fuma needs 9 turn for example, but you can bring this cooldown down to 5! how? by feeding fuma monster that have the same skills as fuma, these thing are known as skillup monster and in the case of fuma, it comes in the form of a light pirate, they just announced a dungeon where the light pirate will be a standard enemy so if you decide to keep fuma you should consider that

as for monster that a starting player might use that can be got without pulling the REM

- gigas and vampire, both these guys can potentialy come from the pal machine and are also the only usable monster you will encounter during normal dungeons that can potentialy drops, both of these guys turns heart orbs into their respective color which is a really handy skills, gigas is also physical so he can be used together with fuma... vampire can also be turned into a "x3 atk" leader

- mystic knight, these are a series of orb changer monster whose dungeon appear during certain days, they can be usefull early in the game, the wood one is also a "x3 atk" leader even though he works on dragons which are mostly made up of unpopular monsters

- echidna, echidna skill stop monsters attacking for 3 turns, this skill is amazing, you definitely want one

- siren, not as popular as she once was, she creates heart orbs which you can then turns into other orbs or use to heal

- drawn joker and angelion, both these guys make heart orbs like siren but comes in different color/type variants

- mythical beast, these drops very rarely from pal egg machine, they all enchance orbs of their own color,enchanced orbs increase the damage you do by 6% for every enchanced orb in the match

- slimes, these guys have sucky stats but in their final form their skill become "for 1 turn, atk of (their own typing) x3" being able to deal 3 times as much damage in your best turn can often make the difference, the blue slime is physical

- ripper dragon, also comes in the pal egg machine, these guys are orb changer too but since it takes a lot of time to use their skills and their awakening are bad nobody likes them, still i guess they can be used early in the game

himuro, if you ask me you should wait for the godfest, when the godfest happens, throw all of the stone the game has given at you at it, if the game gives you a chinese you are gold and you have no need to restart, otherwise a chinese is going to help you much better than fuma will

It's not so bad.  Keep 'em both and only evolve one.  Unless you have Anubis/Kushinada/Bastet, Robin can be a really powerful team leader for dungeons that don't use all the orb colors (which makes it MUCH easier to hit high combo totals), plus having the unevolved form can be useful for S-ranking dungeons, and possibly some cost/rarity-restricted stuff.

After all, coulda been two Catwomen.

This has probably been asked a billion times.

I've got a couple dudes who are a few levels away from leveling up to their max for Evo time. I should just grind out some dungeons of their color and save the metal dragons for after right?

Like I've got a ruby king and then a fire guy to upgrade, he's at like level 27 out of 35, and it says ruby'll give 85,000 which has gotta be more than eight levels worth (last one was about 2200 to level). So the extra will just be wasted not carried over correct?

I'm just going back to like colors go with like colors, types go with types, and hoping to skill up everytime I power up fusion.

benji - post a list of monster you own and maybe i can advise
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on July 29, 2014, 01:57:25 PM
A summary:

1) Treat common monsters as XP fodder, or sell them if you're short on cash.  Demons, fighters/knights, ogres, and carbuncles.  Only time to have them in your party is in the early game before you have decent monsters.

2) Don't sell or feed any monster which can evolve into at least a five-star form.

3) Generally save the king metal dragons or other huge XP boosts for your gods or other important monsters which have a high level cap.  Leveling up monsters after they get to 60 or so can be very expensive with the usual dungeon trash.

4) Since you've got a Pandora, focus on putting together a dark team.  Hopefully you got a dark mystic knight when that dungeon popped up, but either way try to get a vampire if you can.  Getting a coherent team together is usually first order of business to tackle the midgame stuff.

5) If you get an egg with a plus symbol on it, that's fairly big.  It has a tiny impact on its own, but those things stack as you feed them, so give them to Pandora or another God you intend to use a bunch.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: benjipwns on July 29, 2014, 07:36:12 PM
Okay, then I haven't been doing too poorly. Just not looking down the road enough with evolution.

I had a Samurai Ogre in my party for a while to soak up HP, and have a Harpie Demon I got out of the Egg Machine that came +3.

Was building a dark team, with a backup fire team. But was running into situations where I'd have nothing on the board and I needed an attack. So I've shifted to a mixed party for now which was probably bad.

Then I hit some level caps and just fed things to others and really slimmed down.

I've got:
Pandora - level 36
Tyrannos - max, ready to Evo when I get keeper of flame or whatever
Dark Dragon Knight - level 23, +1 HP
Mid Fire Ninja - level 37
Mid Dark Ninja - level 42
Harpie Demon (light) - level 41, +5 (+2 HP, +1 ATK, +2 RCU)
Green Dragon Fruit - who I have in one of my teams just because his HP is 500 and his skill combined with Pandora's can turn the entire board into dark orbs which then stacks with her leader skill to do like a eight billion attack
Pyro Demon - level 12, who I recently got out of the pal egg machine, haven't done anything with

Bunch of fodder and masks and flowers.

Also have a few sapphire dragons, couple kings, and a king metal from that dungeon that was up today, ran through it a couple times. I fed the King Sapphires to Pandora. But haven't done anything with the rest yet.

I had a black knight which was the rest of my dark team but I think I fed him to the precursor of the dark dragon knight so I could evo him. I had a King Flamie but I fed him to Tyrannos because he wasn't seeming to help the fire team as much as when he was a Big Flamie.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 29, 2014, 07:54:00 PM
Pandora,
Tyrannos,
Dark Dragon Knight ,
Green Dragon Fruit,

are you're only keepers.  Put all xp into Pandora and Dark Dragon Knight.  Try to get a vampire from lightless devil's nest (5 days to go).  Batmans in the Batman REM might be nice on a early pandora team.  Otherwise catwoman and robbin are both worth having.  All your +eggs should go on Pandora right now.
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on July 29, 2014, 08:04:32 PM
as mandark said ogres,ninja,carbuncles,knights,slimes and demon are all fodder, and the starter dragons are beyond bad so basicaly the only 3 usable monster you have are the dark dragon knight (i'm assuming you are talking about this guy here (http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=233)) the green fruit dragon which really doesn't fit a dark team and pandora, but don't worry that's actualy a decent start, what you need the most at the moment is a vampire and ehy wouldn't you know, the vampire dungeon (lightless devil nest) is running right now and will run for 5 more days so you have plenty of time to get one

vampire turns heart orbs into dark orbs, this sounds like a bad idea because you need the heart orbs to heal but trust me, it's not... if you do get a vampire the next thing you should do is skilling him up because pandora deal shitty damage when less than 6 dark orbs are on the board, you see when you feed to a monster a monster that has the same skills there is a chance his charging time will decrease, for example vampire starts at 11 turn but it's possible to decrease his charge time to 5 turn

vampire shares a skill with big baddie's (the second evolution of dark slimes) which can be gotten through the normal game so skilling him up it's easy, if you do decide to skill up a monster you should always check that x2 skill up chance is active, you'll notice because it's written in big bright yellow letter when you select the power up screen

you should also have keep king flamie, all of the king slimes have a skill that let unit of a certain tribe do triple the damage for 1 turn, this is an incredible skill when you have enough monster to build a team where everyone is a single tribe... the slimes go as follow

fire -> attacker
water -> physical
wood -> balanced
light -> healer
dark -> devil

and that's what pretty much you can expect most of the time since most dark monsters are devil, most water monsters are physical and so on... of course there are a lot of exception to the rules, unfortunately pandora never turns into a devil so if you do decide to use a king slime the impact would be diminshed

mmm what else, if you feel lucky you might want to pull the batman machine, it features 3 dark monster and all of them are pretty good for a starting dark team, of course 2 of them are really rare (i think the odds are around 10%) and you also risk getting catwoman which is an horrible horrible monster

I do the Intermediate or whatever weekend dungeon to get extra gold when it pops up, I would swap out my darks for fire guys and just have seven part chains or whatever. Expert kills me still though.

I thought for a long while when things said "no dark orbs" or "no heal orbs" or whatever that skills didn't override it. I found out by accident.  :lol
you have are the dark dragon knight (i'm assuming you are talking about this guy here (http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=233))
Naw, the evolution before him.

Will focus on getting vampire then. I've had some helpers who had the heal orbs to [whatever] orbs thing and big flamie did that with fire orbs and that skill has been like a good idea 95% of the time or something.

I've maxed out my Kirin and Echidna with +297, so I'm going to have to decide at some point where to send my plus eggs now.

There's a guy on my friends list with a +297 Satan.  I figure he must have maxed out another monster (Valkyrie?) and fed it.  All those +RCV eggs...

so the latest descend gimmick is that only monster whose main type is either physical or attacker can enter the dungeon, that means no okunikishi,no takeminekata,no kirin,basicaly no REM god

this is a complete list of all the monsters that can enter the dungeon and you can see the number of good leaders is EXTREMELY limited

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TBxR0fHu_Mc/U9hxZQVO4SI/AAAAAAAAsjY/8BAn19X9yLk/s1600/2.png)

of course a lot of these monsters are collaboration monsters and therefore not avaiable in the us version so our list is even shorter, you guys might want to start working on a golem (x3 atk when matching golem color + light) or at least try to get a deathstroke (x3 atk when dark/light/water attack all together) from the batman dungeon

Is it the same, worse or better to fuse together like critters before adding them to my actual dudes. Like I have eight carbuncles or something, should I fuse them together to level it up and then fuse it with my Pandora or  Dragon Knight or whoever? Like it'd be a bunch of level fives or a max level one or two.

And if I've maxed it, is it worth using the cheapo evo stuff for the first evolution before fusing? I could do this with a few carbuncles and an orge probably without losing anything of value.

Or does the XP you get back not change or get lower doing this?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: Mandark on July 30, 2014, 02:54:46 PM
XP is directly related to the level of the fodder (ie a lvl 5 Carbuncle gives exactly five times the XP of a lvl 1 Carbuncle).  So if feeding a lvl 2 to a lvl 2 gives you a lvl 5, then that's more XP efficient.  You also get a 50% bonus for feeding to the same color.

Money can be a consideration though.  The cost of feeding is directly related to the level of the monster that's being leveled up.  So sometimes it will make sense to consolidate your fodder before feeding if money is the constraint.

If a monster is at max level, then feeding it will not produce any more XP, either immediately or spilling over into its next evolved form.  When you do an evo fusion the new monster will start at level one.

Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 30, 2014, 02:58:31 PM
Level up and evolve Pengdra before feeding them if you can; otherwise don't bother.

The other feeding thing is awakingings when you feed two of the same monsters together they get an awaking skill;  for example the Awoken Skills here http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=388.  Not all mosters have awakenings and they generally need to be in an evolved form before they get them.

Like it'd be a bunch of level fives or a max level one or two.

the xp you get work like this, each monster has an xp value (an unevolved carbuncle give 75 xp for example) and then that value get multiplied by the level of that monster (so a level 2 carbuncle give 150 xp, a level 3 give 225 xp, a level 4 give 300 xp and so on)

the only monster that has such an xp value/level up ratio that isn't made expressely for leveling (which means it's not a pengdra (which you should always evolve) or a moltdra (which sometimes pop from the pal egg machine and you should always feed at max level)) ratio that you ends up getting more xp are unevolved chimera (who gains 400 xp per level but require less than 400 xp for his first 5 level) but even then it's not like you gain a lot so you can still feed away

so tl;dr - feed your carbuncle directly to pandora

also it's usualy better if you always fuse 5 monsters, everytime you fuse you spend gold equal to that monster level x number of monster fused x 100, so say if you fuse 5 monsters in a single swoop to a level 30 monster it would cost you 15,000 but say if you fuse 3 monsters and the monster level increase to 31, you would now have to pay 200 more to fuse the remaining monster)

Quote

once you evolve a monster it reverts to level 1 and i can't think of a single monster whose evolved xp value is so higher compared to the base than the tradeoff it's worth...

...except for the pengdra,seriously evolve those little shit

Quote
Awakenings

well i was awaiting to explain these but since infelicitiousdandy mentioned them i guess it's time, these are passive skills that almost every monster get once he reaches the final form,junk monster usualy have 2, most of the usable monsters have 3, REM god have 4 and the green fruit dragon you have is an exception and has a whooping 9 of them (it's the whole fruit dragon gimmick) there are 2 ways to get awakening, the first is to feed a monster itself, it has to be the exact same monster so no feeding unevolved monsters to an evolved monsters so for example you would feed an evolved green fruit dragon to another evolved green fruit dragon, of course this isn't always flexible as some monster are rare as fuck (or you might want to keep multiple of them for reasons) so there is method number 2! feeding a monster a tamadra, these are cute little egg shaped monsters that pop from the pal machine and rarely from dragon dungeons, feeding one of them to any monster will unlock one of his awakening skills, tamadra come in 2 version, normal and babies, babies don't always work but they can be evolved to normal, always evolve baby tamadra to normal tamadra

the awakening go as follow

Resist (Color) - attack from (Color) deal 4% less damage, sounds usefull but it's not really because everything in this game hits fucking hard
Enchance Orb (Color) - give a 20% chance, orb of those color will spawn with a + on it, orb with a + deal 0,06% damage more which is not a lot to be honest
Enchance Row (Color) - give a 10% damage increase everytime you make a 6 orb row, you might have noticed that's the whole pandora gimmick, pandora comes with an enchance row dark, you might want more enchance dark row monsters as you play
Skill Boost - these make your team starts with 1 turn worth of skill charged, when monster starts hitting really hard you'll appreciate not having to wait for your skill to charge
Resist (Bad Status Effect) - later in the game monster can hit you with bad status effect such as jammer/poison/binding and skill bind, these all give you a 20% chance to resist (except bind resist which give that single monster a 50% chance to resist)
Auto-Heal - every turn you automaticaly heals for 500
Bind Heal - matching a row of 6 hearts cure the bind bad status effect
Two-Prong - matching 4 orbs of the monster color increase that single monster damage by 50% and let him attack two monster at once
Extend time - give you an extra 0.5 second to move orb
Stat - these are the dumbes and just give stat increase, the hp one give 200 hp, the attack one 100 attack, and the rcv one give 50 rcv

comes next week, gimmick is no heart orbs (don't we already have a dark descend boss with no heart orbs? yes! guess we need another harder one)

oh forgot to add, there is a godfest going on but it's greco roman 1 and 2, which is a pretty awfull combination, i'm not sure if i'm going to roll

i decided to roll too and got my first godfest exclusive, green zhuge liang

i'm not happy with this because he's pretty much dead weight until i pull at least 2 between sasuke and marine rider (i do have saved a squid from the groove coaster collaboration, yay past me!) so since wood gala was going on i tried my luck and got two toy dragons :fbm

mmm maybe i could do

zhuge liang/squid/meimei/ADK/canopus

it doesn't feature any attacker so zhuge liang active goes wasted but this way everyone in the team has a 2 prong attack and there are a shitload of orb changer

LS: devil atk x4 when hp <80%

Awakenings: Two-Prong/Enchanced Light Orb/Enchanced Light Row

good if you own baal (i do) i guess?
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on August 08, 2014, 09:42:13 AM
today is update day

- new l.meta, seems she pops out only from the pink rem, she's exactly like normal l.meta except instead of being light/water she's water/light

(http://i.imgur.com/WvMRZoY.png)

- shinji & kaworu uvo leader skills changed from 80%> to 99%< which makes a lot more sense considering their active bring you down to 1 hp

- new thor is... attacker! kinda sucks considering the only other usable light attacker are baal,athena and arthur

- all of the pink rem healer are getting uvo's, all of them become attacker in addition to being healers (so i guess thor team also now has fuu) and also get enchance row (color)/skill bind resist/autoheal as extra awakenings, artwork for the missing girls

(http://i.imgur.com/jqESXNf.png)

(http://i.imgur.com/2vHgO5Y.png)

- AND HERE COMES THE STUPID

ceres is getting a new evolution

(http://i.imgur.com/JtptAMO.png)

so how do you access this evolution? by fusing on zeus-dios, hera-beorc, a jewel of wood, an ancient green sacred mask and another ceres

new evolution is devil/balanced, LS is 2.5x atk for wood/balanced monster and light & dark damage is cut in half which is basicaly 2/2.5/2 in certain dungeon which sounds pretty fucking powerfull, they also mentioned that the active could be changed too

so yeah, time to horde all of the dupe of your shitty gods because they are now evolution material! they said that minerva (i own it :() neptune and kagutsuchi (i own it too :() might also be getting the same treatment

EDIT: after the internet throw a fit (rightly for once!) they decided that the new ceres evo won't require another ceres to evolve, still an evolution that requires 2 descend boss and 1 invade sounds exagerated

Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on August 18, 2014, 08:33:37 AM
so... news!

- hera-ur uvo will require 3 jewel of fire and 1 devilit! that's quite extreme but the upgrade seems worth it

1) becomes fire/fire
2) AS change into a 10% gravity + fire orb enchance
3) LS changed so that on top of the x3 atk to devil,it also gives boost to devil hp and rcv, no mention how big (probably 1.25x as every other leader gets 1.35x in only one department)
4) two more awakenings added in the form of a two-prong attack and an enchance fire row

- Archdemon Lucifer is getting two UVO, for some reason they released the artwork for one but revealed the info for the other, this is the artwork for the dark/dark UVO

(http://pad.skyozora.com/images/news/BvTkpWiCUAAbSBD.jpg)

the other UVO

1) becomes dark/fire
2) gain balanced subtype for some reason
3) LS becomes atk x2.5, rcv x2 to devils

- beelzebub uvo is also getting a skill change, from double orb enchance to enchance only dark orbs and recover 4649 hp (apparently 4649 translate into some japanese word used by biker so it's basicaly a biker pun) this also has caused some rage in the japan player base as it means that if you skilled up your beelzebub you now have to devolve him or lose all your hard work

- grudge strike now also increase dark damage by 1.5x for 1 turn, yay for trash REM pulls become slightly less trashing!

- they've also been talking of a new system were feeding a fully leveled dupe of a monster will guarantee a skill up as a way to get something of use out of REM dupe

- lastly the gungho collaboration is getting more skill-ups but they are all for PADZ monster which makes the fact that they still haven't come to the US really annoying, the collaboration also has skill ups for green guan yu in case you own one

skill and stat revealed for the new orochi and susano,

orochi - B/R - God/Dragon

- compared to other evo -760 HP/+240 ATK
- LS changed from that resolve crap into "dragon atk x4 when hp is below 80%"
- gains an extra skill boost awakening
- requires a water orb

susano - G/L - God/Attacker

- compared to the other evo -1070 HP/+550 ATK/+40 RCV
- LS changed from that lame wall skill to "attacker atk x3 and rcv x1.35"
- gains an extra skill boost awakening
- requires a wood orb

also a bunch of biweekly dragons are getting their CD and cost reduced but nobody cares because they are all horrible trash

more importantly it seems some content is getting dropped from the event rotation and put in as standard dungeon, the list seems to include, 2 heroes,hera,zeus, the ancient dragons, the sky dragons and the mech dragons

oh also i forgot to add to the previous post but the 3 other ninja are getting evolution too

After dicking around with all the clones waiting for this to stop crashing on boot, gave up and cleared out the game data and reloaded. Starting from scratch. First time got a three star fighter lol

So I re-rolled and got a Bastet with +1 which is listed as good on the newbie guide (and better than my old Pandora apparently) and then a Water Mech Warrior Midgard with a +1 from the stones you get right away in the first few dungeons. The latter has 2200 hitpoints at level 5 (plus leader skill of massive water counterattack) so I'm good for a while blasting back through these early dungeons :lol
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons
Post by: magus on September 08, 2014, 12:39:35 PM
bastet is better for an early player since her leader skill works on any monster so you literaly can put whatever you want and it will work, while pandora requires a very specific set of monsters to work, but i think pandora with the right monster would probably have been better than bastet... bastet also force you to learn how to match well since her leader skill is dependant on you clearing as many orbs as possible so it's also good for that

after evolution, bastet becomes an healer so you might want to get a king shynee when possible, their stat sucks but their skill make it so that healer deal triple the damage for 1 turn which is incredibly usefull and you are really going to need it, coincidentaly a lot of usefull farmable common monster like echidna are also healers so it all works out

alternatively you could try scoring more wood monster and just focus on that, normaly the only farmable wood monster worth getting is cu-chu but coincidentaly there is the takaoka collaboration going on right now which also has a wood orb changer that really would help bastet, the collaboration doesn't have light or dark orb which make getting high combo really easy, which in turns make this really easy for bastet to clear (though i'm not sure "player starting right now" easy)

anyway

dragonball revamped collaboration is coming with new evolution for the REM monsters

I actually had some pretty decent wood guys I got from the Pal Egg machine that I never had a use for before other than plugging holes after evolutions. One of them had like turn all light and dark orbs to wood which was shitty for me on the old account since I was going heavy on dark, that'd be pretty useful now. (I would save and use it to turn light to wood, since Pandora turns all wood to dark and light to heal, it would maximize the number of dark orbs on the board which then stacked with Pandora's 6+ chain bonus to kill lots of stuff.)

Those dumb little early lits are pissing me off, did like seven runs through the early dungeons trying to get two of them so I could evolve some dudes.

There's probably a smarter way to do this. Like waiting for whichever day it's the one dungeon with a billion of them.

next descend announced, it's going to be astaroth dumb puppet

(http://i.imgur.com/yd3iSj4.jpg)

the previously japanese exclusive shinra bansho collaboration is coming to the us, comes with lakshmi,baal,astaroth,shiva and dragon rider arthur skillups... the invade is a decent orb changer that turns light into woods and heart into lights and can also be changed to either light or wood depending on your need, and the boss is a 20% gravity devil that comes with 10% dark resist and a two-prong attack
Title: Re: Puzzle and Dragons

cachemaur skills revealed

Before evo

Devil - 2063/1205/473

AS: damage reduction for 1 turn (25%?) and change whole board into wood,fire,dark
LS: if dreaming archdemon astaroth is in party (the healer astaroth), 2x hp and 2.5x atk

After Evo

Devil - 3135/1519/0

AS: same
LS: if pure demon lord astaroth is in party (the attacker astaroth), 2x hp and 2.5x atk

Awakenings, Enchance Wood Row/Auto Heal/Skill Boost

having a descend that requires a specific rem pull to be fully used is pretty iffy... at least the active is usable (if it doesn't have some distinguished mentally-challenged CD)

also there is some mega-rebalancing act going on so far stuff we have

- l.meta getting an hp buff on top of the 3.5x atk
- wood guan yu now being physical AND dragons instead of just physical
- lakshmi active now also enchance water orbs
- indra is getting his stat boost replaced with skill bind resist and time extend
- dark fagan is getting extra awakening
- slimes now have a small damage effect on top of the type buff so that in this way they can override buff's

plus something about giving more awakenings to monster that requires jewel

Got an Lkali.  Fuck ya.  If only I had Hathor I'd have a crazy ass team.

Right now I'm thinking LKali will replace EOS on my Ra team for

LL Ra, Yomi, Yomi, LKali, BG Lakmishi.   That's a lot of time extends and an Ok amount of skill boosts.
