I dont mean feeding a monster with high RCV to Ammy. Certain monsters will drop with a + next to their egg, and when they hatch will have one of either boosted HP, attack, or recovery. You can check which stat is boosted on the info screen. Fusing a + monster will transfer its bonuses over. The maximum stat bonus is 99.

Since Amaterasu Ookami's leader skill heals you every turn based on her RCV stat, you want to feed her as much +RCV fodder as possible to maximize how much she heals you for.

Similarly, you want to try to feed a monster like Neptune or Echidna as much +ATK as possible, since their skills deal damage based on their ATK stats.

Ammy's diet is probably the closest thing you get to 'messing up'; Siren the Enchantress's Rondo of Healing also depends on her RCV but nobody really cares if you mess up her diet.

Just to be clear, you're saying that each stat can be +99 and not that the grand total of + is 99, right ?
I mean I can have +99 +99 +99 and I'm not limited to say +0+49 +50
Silly question but still extremely worth knowing the answer for. I won't add the stat bonus in the same way depending on the answer.

Ok was this extremely dumb or worth it? I'm only rank 8 but did the Thursday dragon challenge. Got to the last boss and burned 3 magic stones continuing to beat him. I got a stone back a dragon plant and Dragon Flower. Is that a good trade off?

Do you need to be jailbroken for ifunbox?

hmmmm note to self, do not enter a NO RCV dungeon without a healer. I didn't know what i was getting into and wondered where the healing orbs were...used most of my stamina for that failure.

When I say "don't do the special dungeons unless you know what you're doing" in the OP I actually mean it lol. There is nothing you need in that dungeon at your current rank that you couldn't have gotten more easily from elsewhere.

You do not need to be jailbroken to use iFunbox.

No, the total sum of all your statups cannot exceed 99. If you played Pokemon before they're similar to Effort Values.

Not really worth it. The Thursday dungeon is probably the easiest of the daily dungeons. Magic Stones can be hard to come by so I wouldn't recommend using it to revive yourself.

But... But .... I had to know what I'd get if I beat him. :)

Point taken. I officially hate this thread for getting me sucked into this.

So would you suggest taking all of one element in a metal dragon dungeon, more hits I'm thinking.

I have a fair few metal dragons I didn't realise what they were for until now.

TIP:- Keep an eye open for 2 x gold dungeons especially if you are struggling to fuse monsters.

Edit:- Easier than I thought 1 king, 1 high and 3 metals. :)

Is there some trick to making diagonal switches easier? On my ipad it always screws it up when i try to move diagonally.

I just finished the metal dragon dungeon and received an extremely rare king metal dragon no. 178. What should I do with it? Should I use it to fuse with someone in my party? He's already at max level

So this may sound stupid, but is it worth it to make a second account on a second device, and just rank to 20 to go the present with your main account?

One quick motion seems to be the best way, but honestly diagonal motions are such a crapshoot i usually only attempt them as a last resort. Of course, that one time I needed to match recovery gems to survive a boss, the game registers it as a diagonal instead.

It happens ..... plus it has a good community (you guys)

I was just thinking ... I have my Droid Razr Max right here. So I could always fool around while at work and stuff while compiling, etc :)

Then I can frind myself, get a pull when I get home and then delete/repeat!

My last boss stage had 4 or 5 sets of diagonal needing swaps....felt like a trap.
 
There's usually an equivalent way to get a diagonal swap to happen with a series of normal swaps. Helps to take a few seconds, analyze what you need to do, and plan out a large-scale rearrangement of the board.

Actually making a second account and getting to level 20 would take a while. May not be worth it, even for an extra egg every couple of days. I dunno

Hmm I encoutered them yesterday and haven't had the chance to know what it was (slaughtered by the pair of red dude boss in the giant tower)... today I can at last say that the Dragon Flower design is SERIOUSLY creepy.

It's random. Somebody in this thread got an Ammy out of the rare machine that started with +1 ATK, which is kinda unfortunate but what can you do!

Yeah, that was me.
In the end, this would mean mine would have 10 less RCV, if I ever get that far, right?

It's very negligible. +1 RCV on a monster is only 3 recovery. +1 Attack is 5 stat points I think and +1 Health is about 20 or 30. I usually sell monsters with a bonus to health.

Damn you, game. Give me monsters, not useless blobs or Evo mats. Three pal draws, and all I got was useless junk and a 2* Aqua Fighter... for my red team.

Arrrrgh. I knew it, I used up all my luck with the expensive-as-hell dragon.

Just because I wanted to see what those special dungeons are like I went and got my face kicked in at the daily dungeon. Got OMGWTFBBQ'd in the first encounter, as expected. Heh.

This is fun.

Yeah, which IIRC will translate to 50 less HP healed per turn for Amaterasu Ookami's leader skill. Almost negligible, but when you're talking the difference between a +49 RCV Ammy and a +99 RCV Ammy that's a gigantic 2500 HP difference in healing.

Edit: looks like I got my math wrong. If +1 in RCV adds 3 to the stat then the difference beteeen the two is 750 HP.

So I'm at the point where I need to take a friend with "greatly heal HP when orbs are matched" everytime.
It's the 3rd light dungeon, I guess I need to be stronger.
My party is weird atm because Odin eat too much team cost, and I read somewhere that his evolution take 45 team cost!! 0_o

OK, so it's even less of a difference than I thought. If +1 equals +3 on RCV, a +98 Amaterasu Ookami heals 15 HP less per turn.

That's fine, and your monster will evolve some day :)
I'm at Twin Temple Apollo -> Warrior of the Sky right now, rank 27 and my (weird) team is :
Leader : Odin lvl 13
Sub : Tyrannos lvl max
Tyran lvl max
lol
Plesios lvl 14, currently leveling him

For a total of 41/41 team cost >.<

Woo hoo! Did the metal dragon dungeon.

My Green Odin is now level 22. I don't think I gave out my ID before, but I just cleared my friends list out if anybody wants to add me:

381, 530, 295.

I'm Rank 17 now so I should have a gift for somebody later today or tomorrow.

Also, I have no idea what I'm doing with my party. I have a 4* Tyrannos and my 5* Odin that I've focused on mostly, also a 3* Cupid I keep in my party for healing. Also have a 3* Mystic Ice Knight I'm raising, but I'm not sure why... maybe I should just feed it off, I don't really have any reason to evolve it other than for the sake of it. I'm really not sure how exactly I should be handling my fusion... currently each character I'm building is of a different element since I'm so stingy about always matching elements when doing power-fusions. I never did level up many of the early monsters beyond the first phase if that before fusing them into those mains.

Thankfully, despite my ignorance, I have not yet hit any walls. I was running Tyrannos in my party and just levelling my Odin when I could... decided to switch in my Odin last night even though I could only have 3 party members... totally worth it, I am just stomping everything. That metal dragon bringing me up to level 22 did a lot for me too. That sort of has me interested in a wood-type party just to match my Odin, but I thought the OP said all wood parties were generally weaker later in the game... I don't see that note anymore since the OP was updated, though.

So is it worth evolving enhancement materials to max or just feed them as they are.

Oh wow, I hadn't even checked that... is it possible to raise a standard metal dragon into one that offers 50k EXP? That would be handy, even if you only netted 20k throughout the process.

Oh, and to pick up with a question on something you all were discussing just a little earlier... is there a quick way to get to +99? I've only seen monsters give out +1 bonuses... are there monsters in special dungeons that will offer higher amounts?
 
So after about 5 tries I rolled a 6* Loki. He takes up 30 party points. Does anyone know what rank in need to achieve for me to be able to start using him? (rank 10 now, at volcano dungeon)

Phew I managed to do the last dungeon of Apollo without healing monster, that was close, almost died (the boss did 1900 damage each 2 turn and I healed 1000 hp per turn)
Onward to Twin Temple Diana!
Your Cupid wil be usefull for those dark monster, Jinko.

I spent all of my stamina farming the Thursday dungeon. Got about 12 Dragon Plants which should last me another week hopefully. Using them all to evolve Pengdras.

I did the dungeon once, realized I could use neither dragon plant nor.. the other drop (forgot what it was, some other plant thing), so I realized I was too early on for it to be worth it. They're just taking up monster box space now :( Is it okay to just sell evo material I don't need atm? Since it doesn't seem to be THAT rare...

Woot just got the light dragon out of a premium egg, that'll do nicely for later on.

Yeah selling them is totally fine.

Of course, two weeks down the line when you suddenly need a bunch of dragon evo materials the game will suddenly decide not to give you any.

Also, the Dragon Fruit at the end is a nice way to fill out your party early on if you manage to get it to drop. Only has 1 team cost and has stats of 300/300/300.

Oooooh it only has team cost 1? Jesus, I need to get on that then. Didn't even realize. (Yeah, that was the second drop I had, dragon fruit and dragon plant :p ) Thanks! Will round my team out nicely, I have team cost issues as is -.- 300 RCV is pretty nice Oo

Ok it's time for the metal dragon event for me, got lucky and dropped a king dragon, waiting some min. for my stamina to refill so I can do it again.

I also just realized that by going in circles, you can move another orb multiple times in different directions. This opens up so many more possibilities for combos! I feel like I've been playing this game wrong the whole time.

So if I got a 3* Mermaid out of my initial roll, should I keep her as a healer and start playing? Or keep resetting until I get a 5* version?

Yup! Just gotta be careful not to totally fuck up your board though, haha. I've done that MANY times.
