The trash isn't very good compared to pengdras, true enough its good xp, but the fights are so long and monotonous i dread doing them tbh, clearly I need a better team, but not throwing too much money at this game. (Think I'll just go playing DQ monster joker or something lol)

Ahh yea if it was taking me longer than about 10 minutes a run it would be terrible. i was using 2x ADK with some fire dragons so it was going pretty fast
Are any of these even worth trying? Not liking TOS, the monsters look like they're pasted on the backgrounds... don't really blend in. Plus, I really don't like the gems and the way they move.

Odin
Valkyrie
Viper Orochi
Hades
Neptune
off the top of my head are some fairly OP gods. No single monster will work for everything, even ADK. If I had to pick only one god though, it would either be Odin or Valkyrie

Oops you're right about Valkyrie. Must have gotten confused since she's so GODLY lol.
The speculation comes from the fact that
a) The cycle of colored rare egg machine events will end this week (they did dark->light->fire->water->wood), and before the previous dark there was a god event. So being the end of a new cycle, there could be another.
b) this weekend will also mark the lunar new year, which is a cause for celebration in many asian countries.
In other news, finished up another round of gold dragons (refilled 4 times) and got 4 more kings about probably 10 highs. Was enough to take my Verche from 1 to 70, so he's ready to go when I get a Mystic Mask, and then got my Angel to 36. Hoping to be able to max her out on the final round of dragons for the day
I guess Valkyrie would be nice. Although if she is no God (I thought aswell), then God event wont do much for her droprate eh.
Odin is great but I dont really want him. It will basically reverse my situation where I am now often a healer, then I'll be Odin looking for a healer.
I think I just need raw power. But if you had Valkyrie, she boosting Healer ATK 2x, what would you team her up with then? Which are good healer types?

The thing about 2x ATK for healers is that healers have ridiculously high RCV. With a group full of all healers, and double Valk / Great Valk you're now looking at 6.25x attack on top of that. With so much RCV, you can literally heal back to full with a single 3-orb heart match. So unless something can one-shot you, you're pretty much invincible AND you can kill stuff almost as fast as a 2x ADK team. Sometimes faster since light is not weak against anything, and wood is
Okay, thansk. So far improved odds of getting her I'd have to probably wait for a Light event again right?
I am actually thinking of running a healer/Valk team. I have all the components, just need to level and evolve some of them.
Great Valk (leader), Siren the Enchanter, Lillith, Echidna the Red Empress, Alraune/another Siren and a friend Great Valk.
Also I just finished my Gold dragon farming. 2 kings and 4 Highs in four runs. Pretty good! I fed them to my Holy Dragon and got a GREAT! 1.5 boost!! So it is now a Lightning Holy Dragon HUZZAH!
Have two reds and two white.

God I'm jealous. I only need blue and green as well! I only get duplicates from the PAL pull machine

Seems like it. I can't remember what the order was last time. God -> Light -> Dark or God -> Dark -> Light though
They're all good with Alarune and Archangel probably being your more "boring" types. If you're running a Valk / Healer party, you want utility out of your healers so you might want to look at
Siren:
Has amazing compatibility with Valkyrie. Change all fire orbs to hearts - then all hearts to light. Or just use it when you need to heal.
Echidna:
Great utility. Gives you three turns of breathing room to burn down an enemy or heal up.
Time Mage:
Same ultility as Echidna, but on a separate timer. I know that you can only use Echidna's ability once during each attack cycle, meaning you can run a party of maxed out Echidna's and lock down an enemy team, but I'm pretty sure TM uses a separate skill (Slow) so you CAN do both. So nice!
Gadgeteer:
Really good stats, has a shortened "Change the World" ability.
Lilith:
Poison. I'm still trying to get one so I don't know how good it is. :/
I have most of the above. I'm just waiting for the Vallk to drop. This, and an Isis (or Horus / RA) team are pretty much the two main teams I want to run. Instead, I'm being shoe-horned into a darkness team. :/ I got my Mystic Earth Knight though, so I think I'll make an ADK and just group him with Isis or something.
Wish we could trade.
Get back in your suit, you meddling Vorlon!
Poison is awesome for a lot of places.
I'm pretty sure if I ran a team of 4 Liliths (or even 4 Succubus), a Viper Orochi as a helper and a Siren as my main (for the extra healing), I could get all 4 succubus to max out their skill usage in the first stage, then just BLOW through all the other hard stages with enemies with high defense/low HP, like the mask dungeons.
It essentially does damage regardless of defense, so it's very good.

I hate youSo I had a rather interesting round of hunting Golden Dragons...
And yes, poison is AMAZING! I bring my Succubus on every trip to the Mask/Sprite expert dungeon and use it on the very last round effectively knocking out every enemy out. It is amazing.

Ok so I have.been rerolling quite a bit...
Just rolled a Dragon Knight with +ATK. Is this worth keeping?
I assume first priority is to evolve him to ADK and try to assemble a 6.25 team and make ADK friends?
I also started with fire dragon. Just looking for some direction. I have been rerolling the last few days and would like to play now lol.

The +ATK doesn't matter since you can easily get that through normal progression, but yes, Dragon Knight is excellent. I wouldn't say that's your "first priority", especially since you're just barely starting, but yes eventually you will want to upgrade him. He'll more than suffice for quite a while though. What level did he pop out as?
HundredEyeMonk
Member
He is at 30.
I guess I am not sure what my priorities should be. I assume it becomes a bit more apparent as I start gathering various monsters? I haven't made it past tutorial lol.

7 runs of gold metal hunting:
8 kings (they appeared alone atleast 5 times), 4 highs.
Evolved to holy lightning dragon and I can now max my Verche (and nearly max the other one I happen to have).
Apparently the game wants me to run a light team, but I odn't have a light healer (but plenty of Valk friends though).
Btw, how do you take pictures of your iPad screen? Are people doing that wiht some kind of app or just snapping a pic from their phone?
Oh and I got Ice Mechdragon after about 6 expert runs (no x2 either). Trying to get green, but he's being stingy.

Press the Power button (on top of the ipad) and the Home button at the same time.

Just went through my third run of the Dark Mech Dragon dungeon - no boss drops, no succubii.
Mixed it up a bit and decided to give crappy Thor some play time. I ran -
Thor the God of Lightning - lvl. 10 (←EXP hog)
Genie - lvl 30
Keeper of Light
Holy Dragon - lvl 30
Pterados - lv 22
Friend - Amaterasu Okami
Thor gives 2X ATK and RCV for all light creatures, so it wasn't too hard to keep going. I have a lot of redundancy in my team in case I run out of hearts to match or some other act of god happens.
The scariest part of the whole run is probably the first turn. Worst case scenario is there are no light gems and multiple monsters are on the same timer.
Otherwise, it's just tank and spank. Burn down enemies that share timers first. Boss fights usually require one heart match every other turn. If you run out of hearts you can pop and half-damage or invuln shield or even just go Amaterasu for a quick heal. Holy Dragon and Pterados were good for trash mobs and burning down Succubus and Lilith. Even Thor got to bust out light enhance a few times.
It was an overall faster run, but lack of orb changers hampers the fun factor.
You mean the crystals, right? There's always some sort of special going on that increases drops of a particular element. If you're at a relatively good spot box space-wise, just hold onto your gems until you get a special that includes a unit you want. AND CHECK OUT CPP's post below about GodFestivals.
Either way, the chances of you pulling something you really want are pretty slim. You're probably going to want to keep a few crystals on hand just in case you get a rare drop and need to continue (if you're not planning on spending any money.)

Here's where I explained where the speculation comes from
Oh, I'm blind. I didn't see the post. So some events always came up before the cycles begin again with Dark everytime?

The game hasnt been out for long enough in the US to say with any certainty if the pattern will continue, but thats why its just speculation
Basically spent the whole day getting my holy dragon to lightning holy dragon.
Ran golden dragon all day and didn't even have enough to get to level 70. Had to supplement with 6 pengdras.
Leveling yellow sucks.
Man now I know why it took everyone forever to level their amu and valks. If I were to pull one of the less useful light gods I probably wouldn't even bother levelling it.
At least got a ton of coin though. Per stamina ratio its probably better than weekend dungeon and I'm not even including selling kings and highs.

Thanks for your post. Never used iTools before. Since it seems goingho probably not going to restore my deleted account I decided to move second account from iPad to iPhone. From what I read it seems like a good idea to move 48 and 56. One was account info and the other monster box. I just tried and everything loaded up fine after a long verification process. All stones and monsters intact.

Eh, what happened? I had always heard they would do it for anyone who bought stones. Are they telling you it can't be done now?

So my 2nd roll after passing the first set of colored dungeons? ADK dropped for me lol.
So I have a DK and ADK to start with. What should I do with the DK?
Edit: Oh and Lil Red Dragon dropped for me in the pal machine. Is this to eventually replace the starter red Dragon?
And if anyone wants another ADK friend...

I guess you could put it that way, but the array of monsters available is so diverse that I wouldn't really say it's the type of game where you find replacements and then other monsters become useless. Every monster is useful for something or another or for some specialized scenario. That being said, the Lil' Red Dragon is AMAZING in its fully evolved form (as are the other Lil' X Dragons), so definitely hold onto it. And at least for now, until a future update from Gungho, it's outright better than the starter dragons after you get to about the 4* form
So don't kill me anyone but..after running the gold dragons I leveled at the end of the hour and wanted to quit playing but my stamina was full. Sooo I decided to run the ice mech dungeon since my ADK can do it so quickly. Ice mech egg #2 on the first run. -_-
I haven't attempted master too many times but for every run I did on the Mechdragons, they've always dropped. I'm thinking the drop rate is around 40-50%.
You're not alone. Over 30 runs here as we'll but not a single drop.
I'm guessing. 'Bout to try it with my wood/dark ADK team and no healer like I always did the water mech (expert). Wish me luck. :s
Edit: Easy peazy
I'll run it tomorrow morning, only for the stone though... I've given up on getting those mechdragon drops from just expert, and I'm far from being able to run Master, sadly lol
