Gonna run Athena and get that bitch this time. Probably gonna ignore Tengu for a while longer until I have a maxed out cheap-o dark team to tackle it with. Probably gonna try Twinlits some too, in addition to running the fuck out of Poring.  I have 2 Valks, 2 Cu Chu, 1 Siegfried that all need skill ups.

[Madrun Badrun]

I don't really have many of the monsters that Poring Tower helps, that can't also be gotten other places.  hummmmm.

[Madrun Badrun]

how many stones would it take to just brute force Twinlit?  I really want a D/L Yomi.

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.

[magus]

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

[Madrun Badrun]

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.

[magus]

if you get an angelit you might want to keep it instead of using it on yomi for this guy here

http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=995

[Madrun Badrun]

I need 2 for that, and it will be a while before my horus is fully awoken for +0.5 time. (also my RCV is pretty shitty as it.)

[Madrun Badrun]

Just saw a video. I couldn't do that with 10 stones

[magus]

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"



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



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





new series of dragons called flower dragons



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
Active: Change all orbs to water and light orbs
Leader: 2x HP/ATK for god types



Berserker Z, devil
Active: Change wood and heal orbs to fire orbs
Leader: 1.5x HP/ATK/RCV for devil types



Uru Chimera, healer
Active: Heal for 3,000 HP and increase water atk by 1.5x for 1 turn
Leader: 1.5x HP/ATK/RCV for healer types



Grimrock, physical

Leader: 1.5x HP/ATK/RCV for physical types



Radius, god

Leader: Increase damage after 4+ combos, up to 3x



Dragon Samurai, dragon
Active: Change heal to poison orbs and 2x dragon atk for 1 turn

[Madrun Badrun]

Tamadras in the metal/jewels are the biggest fucking cock tease since women.  Damn it.

[magus]

i'm running poring since it's super easy skill ups and i've basicaly got a skill up for everything except valk

mastering (which i also got from the tower) got 3 skill up in a row

[magus]

new monster stats are out

busty alraune (gain wood sub-element) - +1100 HP/+200 ATK
busty twinlit alraune (change from healer type to balance type,gain light sub-element,change first awakening from bind heal to bind resist) - +1300 HP/+280 ATK/ -199 RCV

the PADZ monster (i'm still not sure if these come from the standard rem or their own collaboration rem)

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

[Steve Contra]

Motherfucker, pulled on godfest and...a god I already had and didn't want in the first place

[Steve Contra]

And my finger slipped off the board on the descend.  Fuck my life.

[Madrun Badrun]

Did a impulse REM pull got  Orochi.  This means I have U&Y, Yomi, and Orochi.

Fuck you

[CajoleJuice]

i pulled and got a red fucking piece of shit golem or whatever the fuck

[Steve Contra]

i pulled and got a red fucking piece of shit golem or whatever the fuck

That's more like it

[Human Snorenado]

I could really use a Yomi, but chances aren't great, so I'm not gonna bother pulling. Only have about 10 stones saved up anyhow.

[magus]

are you guys getting anything out of poring tower? this thing is making me pretty mad,here's what i got

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

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, I've gotten all kinds of skill ups. I probably fed 15 to my Cu Chu and only got one skill up though 

[Human Snorenado]

Maxed my Valk (only needed one to do so) and got 2 skill ups on my sub Valk
4 Skill ups on Siegfried
2 Skill ups on Angelion
Maxed my vampire
2 more on back up vampire
1 on Gigas

[Madrun Badrun]

I've gotten so many good monsters lately that it will take like 2 months to get them into a decent level.

Good REM pull problems

[Madrun Badrun]

[Human Snorenado]

Echidna ultimate evo?

[Madrun Badrun]

ya

[magus]

Echidna ultimate evo?

art for some of the indians has been released too,seems each is getting two evo as it's been in vogue since twinlit have been a thing

Parvati Wood/Fire and Wood/Light




Lakshmi Water/Wood and Water/Light




and here's a video of the latest descend

#t=36

it's interessing to note that the boss uses a pre-empitive which disable's active skill for 2 turns... pretty sure that would fuck up tons of team's

[Madrun Badrun]

O, catwomen on thw weekend dungeons.  Why did I not think of this before. 

[Human Snorenado]

Farming with a team that has a max-skilled Valk, Angelion and Siren

[CajoleJuice]

I started up an Android account a while ago and got Horus as my first pull, but I just can't bring myself to go through all this shit again. Kinda sucks because my iOS account is on an iPod Touch and the Android account is on my new phone, but whatever. I think my addiction might be slowly fading...I hope.

[Madrun Badrun]

Isn't there an account migration thing coming?

[CajoleJuice]

I hope so. You can already do it between accounts on the same platform, but not between iOS and Android. At least not to my knowledge.

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, not yet but it is in the works.

[magus]

cleared hera-ur with lucifer

golden chest!

i don't know why i even bother with legend descend,this is the 5th time i complete one and get nothing out of it

[Human Snorenado]

It's only 40%. You've gotta be prepared to run it multiple times. I can't remember if it was Goemon or Hera-Ur, but one of them I had to run like six fucking times to get a drop.

[magus]

It's only 40%. You've gotta be prepared to run it multiple times. I can't remember if it was Goemon or Hera-Ur, but one of them I had to run like six fucking times to get a drop.

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...

bah i guess it's counterbalance for scoring both cerberus and kraken in satan... now to hope that their busties don't sucks

[CajoleJuice]

actually, you have a 92.3% chance of getting the drop after 5 runs

[Madrun Badrun]

actually, have a 92.224% chance of getting the drop after 5 runs.  Do not give him false hope in your deceitful and  unethical roundings, CJ. 

[Human Snorenado]

SOME FUCKING ACTUARY YOU ARE, CAJOLE

I was making a statement about odds during a single run.

[CajoleJuice]

why do you think i was laid off  :'(

[Human Snorenado]

I just assumed that's the sort of thing that happens to all Mets fans

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry you got laid off dude

[close]

[CajoleJuice]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

it was a while ago haha

[close]

[magus]

actually, you have a 92.3% chance of getting the drop after 5 runs

wow that's even worse

[Madrun Badrun]

Got two tamadras and orochi, and took my horus and yomi up a shit ton of levels this event.  It has been good.

[Human Snorenado]

This has been my favorite event ever. Didn't pull during this godfest but SO MANY SKILL UPZ. Also, new toys:

[Mandark]

What team did you use for the Twinlit dungeon?  I stayed away from that.  Scary.

[Human Snorenado]

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.

[magus]

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.

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?

[Human Snorenado]

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.

[Madrun Badrun]

Got two more tamadras yesterday

[Madrun Badrun]

In stalling, do I need to match orbs for the active skills to go down one?

[magus]

In stalling, do I need to match orbs for the active skills to go down one?

yes... just match orb of color you don't have in your team and/or make 1-2 match at top

[Madrun Badrun]

I have a rainbow team for horus so just match hearts and my weak colours I guess. 

[Human Snorenado]

Well, it's good to know that just because this is a new week, the Rainbow Keeper dungeon hasn't decided to go soft on me or whatever. 3 runs, zero Keeper of Dark. Sigh. Gungtroll'd.

[magus]

meh on EOS

[Mandark]

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.

[Human Snorenado]

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.
