One Piece Treasure Cruise |OT| Golden Hammer ---God--- Usopp

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
7 cola down the drain... :/
Oh yeah that sucks.

btw. Just used your Vista (my only Vista friend right now) with my PSY team - hitting 45K HP right now. Hope i can get to +50K HP till we get Garp and hope this is enough to take him down.
I don't use golden hammer (i should) but i kill the enemies too quickly and i only loose when she locks one of the captains effectively halving my attack power

No Golden Pund ? Damn...

Random MC Tips:

  • People NOT going with a Vivi team can use the Damage Calculator to see if their teams can beat MC fast enough. He has 990k HP in 30 and 1.8 million in 40.
  • If you're not using Jozu or a Vivi team you probably won't be able to tank any hits from MC (you'll take some good damage while stalling) so you need to work within Usopp's delay (4 turns). Above 20% HP Chopper will attack every 2 turns so Alvida or Wolf Flow Zoro can buy you 2 extra turns (4 if you have both in the team).
  • Laboon teams will most likely have to gem on 40 stam in the mobs stages, maybe even in 30.
  • Most of the mobs and Chopper himself have slightly over 300 DEF. Don't use crabs, you'll be doing turtle-like damage on everyone. Lobsters is the way to go.
  • In 40 stam (not sure about 30), both stage 2 and 4 lock the people that they are weak to. The mobs have 10 HP in stage 2 and 5 in stage 4 while the elder seahorse (locks a random unit) has 6. If you're going with a Vivi team, in stages 1 and 3 leave 1 mob alive and stall for Diable Jambe Sanji's special.
Very helpful - thanks !!

Crossing my fingers to get some skill ups on Diablo Jambe before the event. Only got 5 Sanji books though.

This sounds like its going to be a lot harder than mihawk.

Yeah I expect to need a lot of XP to put into QCK units to build up a Jozu team.

LS Zoro seems like the easier/lazier team to assemble...

Damn Monster Chopper coming soon. I don't think I could get my quick team to level 70... Will level 50 quick team suffice?

Sounds like a rough ride.

I thought they were going to introduce new color turtles this week. I was a bit disappointed when I found out it was still the black turtles. :/

Also if you don't have enough Marco friends, I would suggest using G3 Luffy with your psy team. It's just as good except the first 3 hits of course.

Double Mihawk with Full Body is a really nice team for those turtles. With max skill level for Full Body you could make 15 runs.

I thought it would be great having all this turtle time but now I am stuck with a bunch of little turtles which cost too much to use to get anything out of them.

Sell them? =P

I've just been pumping mine into low level characters. Beli hasn't been that big of an issue so far, but I am kind of running out of lower characters at this point.

Laboon teams will most likely have to gem on 40 stam in the mobs stages, maybe even in 30.

I was reading up on it today. You're totally right. Seems Vivi+Laboon is no good for 40 stamina M.Chopper. Gotta stop trusting those poorly-translated guides. JPN guides say it's impossible to get past stage 3 without spending multiple gems, because the Baroque Millions and Penguin always come in at 1 AT. Says it costs at least three gems on average, more if you get bad setups on stage 1 and 2. Ugh.

So, unless I'm mistaken, that means there's no viable non-gacha team for 40 stamina Chopper for Global. I suppose Mihawk was the same way, because Vivi wasn't a story drop at that point. Still, bummer.

30 stamina might be Vivi/Laboon safe, though. Chopper spends two turns locking and powering up before each attack, which should put the party HP limit at 30x Vivi's recovery. With a Lv.72 Vivi, that's around 12,000 HP, so the other four party members could be anyone that could burst through Chopper's "Desperation Mode" HP.

That would probably end up being around 200,000 HP to get through in five turns (4 Usopp, one Laboon hit). With no Captain multipliers and no Kaku, that's rough. Might be doable with Vivi/Laboon/Usopp/Hina/Tashigi/Kuro, save QCK orbs, dump all specials after Usopp.

That, or Vivi/Laboon/Usopp/Hina/Tashigi/Mihawk. Drop Chopper's HP 18%-ish, Mihawk special, gather full QCK orbs during Mihawk cooldown, Usopp/Hina/Mihawk burst. That brings Chopper's HP down to a more managable 70,000 or so.

Still risky. Failing to stall before M.Chopper rage mode could mean a wipe.
 
Geez. It's turtle week and I just... keep forgetting. Missed yesterday's time. Missed today's time. Why am I so bad? Haha.

On the plus side, I just leveled up enough to use my ultimate slasher team. Level 100 gives me 118 crew cost. So I have 5* Mihawk, Asura Zoro, Enraged Arlong, 5* Vista, and God Usopp. The [currently] perfect slasher team, from what I can see.

You need a Vivi friend; raising a Vivi is tough so get a Laboon and Vivi friends instead.

It's too late to farm a Vivi and get her enough experience for Monster Chopper. Farm a Laboon from the 2nd last stage on that island to get lowest level possible. Then find the right combination of units to meet the HP maximum you'll need to survive. Emphasis on maximum, not minimum. Laboon teams don't work with high level units just because of how his special works, you want Vivi to be able to heal you back to over 50% from 1 HP before the next attack.

Trying to farm a Laboon now, in between spending my Stam on things I need to spend it on (Turtles, Evolve mats, etc).

Would it also be possible to just gem my way through MC with a B or C-tier standard Arlong slasher team? 990K HP doesn't seem like that much, although IDK what his DEF is or how hard I'd hit. Any idea whether it'd plausible to get through him in a few gems, in either 30 or 40-stam form?

My thinking is that I'd almost rather trade one gacha pull (~5 gems) for an MC, rather than worry about farming Laboon and spending 2-3 hours on MC with Laboon + lobsters.

If you accept using a friend's rare pull without your own as a non-gacha team (like with Mihawk), then you can farm/use Vivi with a friend LS Zoro for the 40-stam clear.

Turtle week has already started.

Monster Chopper 30-stam is not a guaranteed drop. You might be using your gems for nothing. Plus, if you're getting killed every time he attacks you... 990k HP and 1.8million HP are a lot higher than you think. What is the average and maximum damage your team can do? Based on the screenshot you posted earlier, you are going to be spending a lot of gems just to survive.

What is everyone attack order?

I go from weakest to strongest(I factor in the weakness ass well)

for what i heard,it should be like that,since the stronger guys get the stronger multiplier that way

Outside of special corner cases, stalling, or trying to kill a specific enemy, why would anyone do differently? The scaling multiplier basically means you want to apply it to your hardest hitters... this is Treasure Cruise 101.

Weakest to strongest when accounting for orbs. (e.g. some units are just a bit stronger than my strongest if they've got the right orb).


However on enemies I know are easy kills I try to get rid of my bad orbs first & savor strong character/right orb combos.

e.g. On turtle time if I have a yellow orb Marco, I try not to use it unless absolutely necessary; cause it essentially counts as an insta-kill on an Elder.

So wait what's the deal on the elder turtle? You gotta try to kill it asap?

you mean for turtle time?
basically it's the only enemy in that stage that can' stand agaoiinst you since it has an enormous defense..so every turtle time team is made so that you have someone able to kill it fast..like sanji or fullbody that can one shot kill it with their specials
 
So wait what's the deal on the elder turtle? You gotta try to kill it asap?

It's essentially impossible to insta-KO with anything but a super high level yellow orb marco & takes a long time to kill.

If you're doing turtle time speed runs you need a specialist to insta-KO the elder or you'll waste a lot of time.

The usual elder busters are:


perfect yellow orb marco (with dual marco team) (also good for busting turtles normally, but requires the right orb + good timing)

5-marine tandem (good team but 100% dependent on orbs)

fullbody (with skillbooks he can insta-KO 1 guy within 5 turns, goes great with marco burst team)

diable Sanji (can KO an entire screen but takes 10 turns even when maxed skill, so not ideal)

OK. Laboon + high-level friend Vivi it is. I don't know the lvl of GAF member's Vivis, but I feel like I should be able to field a team like:

Vivi & Laboon Captains
DJ Sanji
Lobster 1
Lobster 2
Hina for DPS or GP Usopp to try and survive MC's 20% enrage?

Does anyone else feel that with the release of these new chara, sugofest and islands my box cannot hold anything. I need a box increase. Is the jap version box bigger?
 
What level my Lion Song Zolo should be for Monster Chopper? Also, does anyone with 0 or 5 as their 6th digth wanna do some barrel breaking? We're gold today.
 
I'm down to break barrels if any other gold chest people out there are willing. I'm spoofing to Disney world and I'll start tapping when I see a response to try and go through this quick.

Yeah Japan has +500 iirc. At least we will have the skill up event soon so most of us will be able to clear some of the space.
