Tried Rainbow keeper for the first time with something similar to that, strolled to victory and got the drop. Now i have to get a pesky mystic stone knight that refuses to drop for me. Disappointed i didn't get the light mech dragon drop when i beat it on master Xo. I don't know if i will get lucky again on that one with the dragon's 6k attack skill and constant double strikes

I was just thinking about a maximum damage party, but you obviously don't need to utilize all the skills at once, and might not even need them at all to take down the Rainbow Keeper before it even gets a chance to attack. You have have a party full of Light gods hitting with an 18x ATK bonus taking weakness into consideration. If we assume an average of 1200ATK per monster, that's 130K base party damage off a single 3 orb match. Get a good combo going and you could still one-shot the Rainbow Keeper without using any skills. So, you can afford to use some skills on the Light Keeper if you run into one.
So this is for Japan? Meaning we'll get it late this year if we're lucky? Ugh, I want that extra 50 friends, would save me so much stress.
Hmmm now lets come back down to earth for a second and figure out how many weeks/months it would take to farm a party of Zeus's.

Doing the Rainbow dungeon with red/gree Ogre, MVD, GED, Neptune, Stone Knight, and a Siren the Enchantress. Had no problems until fight 4 - this light guy is taking forever. I've beat plenty of them before...ah, on expert. This is a different level. OK, I guess the strategy is to just keep plugging away at him? And then I imagine the rainbow keeper is much the same? How are some of you doing this in under an hour (or two)???
Just make matches as fast as you can to charge skills and let your rippers skills do the damage.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but if this is really 5.0 as opposed to another 4.x, then maybe that could explain why they've been holding out on us. They did say at one point that they were going to do one massive update for US that gave us everything at once, so if 5.0 has been in the works, then they could have been waiting until after that so they could bring us up to 5.0 rather than bring us up to the latest 4.x then have us complaining AGAIN after JP got 5.0

It's pretty depressing that it STILL isn't a 100% chance to drop.

Ogre
Aurora Dragon
GED
Volcano Dragon
Holy Dragon
Xelios' Ammy

Ouch. Yea, the rippers aren't worth taking unless they are in their fully evolved form. First time I did it it took me about 1h 40 minutes. When you rank up some more and get some more team cost, and evolve all of those rippers, you'll be amazed at how much faster it will go. Probably will cut the time in half or better
Do you have any Mech dragons? Noble would be best but any would be OK.
I'd go
Orge
GED
Noble Mech dragon
Ammy.
Charge GED and Mech in round 1.
Nuke round 2
Nuke round 3
fast match and nuke round 4 (I think this will always be a light or dark keep)
fast match and nuke round 5

I might be regretting taking Siren instead of Archangel or Ammy. If I can get through this I will probably try again (though I also want to hit the red and blue at least once more as well).
Got me a rainbow keeper, though have nothing to use him on.
Besides tiamat, is there any other good dual color dark monsters?
Edit: BTW I still have some friend spots open, if anyone needs an ammy healer. 310745202
Also why do some gaffers have PG in their name?
It was mentioned already but don't even try to deal damage normally just do single matches at the top of the screen as fast as possible to charge up your rippers, they will do all the damage.
Just match match match and use ripper skills. I just did 2 runs in about 30 minutes each. Comboing is a waste of time because you spend x amount of seconds to break the 1500 armor. It's just faster to match one, deal 0-1 damage and keep going until you get your skills ready.

hahahahaha. hah. ho ho.
I can't even roster a Mech let alone assemble a team to get one to drop. Listening to all the horror stories about running the dungeon hundreds of times, I think i'm good for now. I'll wait for their next go. For now, this is it. Would've liked to have taken Shiva for that defense break, but not enough cost. Oh well

Rainbow Keeper is actually a great normal party member. He comes out of the box with over 3k HP and high ATK, and his active skill is very useful in dungeons where you take a lot of damage so you go double resist and then siren as a party member, because he can save your ass when siren's skill is down and you need hearts.
Sucks for me because he's half my team cost :<
Ya... I suppose.. his cost is high though.. but he works well with my all dark team.
Just got my second Rainbow Keeper to drop using a resolve team. Using a resolve team definitely keeps you on your toes.
In the beginning I was trying to charge up my monsters and then the gems kept falling and more combos kept coming and in my mind I started to worry. I was like OH NO! I'm going to die! A resolve team is in no way going to save me if I get multiple monsters on the same timer.
Then, in the 4th fight with the Dark Keeper I was sure if my finger slipped or something I'd be dead. I would need all 3 turns for the healer to get the team into resolve range.
I think I'd rather take a Odin+Healer if I could. LOL

Dual community-ing. PG is the Facebook fan group, useful cause they post daily jewel dragon schedules, have a very comprehensive glossary, and are a good source of schadenfreude.
SomethingAwful also puts suffixes on their names and I -think- ggftw also does it, although I have yet to run into any of the latter.

I've seen an @PF also. not sure what that is, but if I had to guess I'd say maybe puzzledragonforums.com
Yeah that just happened to me. 1/2 today for Rainbow Keeper.
Anyone else got a Green Odin I could use later tonight? My normal ones seem to have dropped off today.

But for some reason I am not getting very much healing from the Siren. I figure with either of the other healers I mentioned I could at least use their skill to cover some healing.
EDIT: OK, for Rainbow it might work better that way. His timer is a 5 so I have more time to heal up.
You can add me 341 534 293
So it seems that JP get light and dark Pengdras in version 5! Very cool.
LIGHT PENGDRAS? OHGOD I NEED THIS. No more wrong-colour feeding and endless waiting for Gold dragons!
Well, you most likely still have to use Gold dragons to evolve the light Pengdras

Done, and I got the keeper! Thanks for the help guys! Not quite ready to do it, but that was one of the parts I was missing for eventually getting my blue/black Neptune. Now the question is do I do it again just to have another hanging around? Maybe not today, but I am sure I will at some point.

VERY cool.
Man this game loves to troll you sometimes. All I need is one damn dark keeper to evolve a basilisk. This is what is in my box instead:
Ha! All I got today were dark keepers... I have my one white I need for my white Ripper but still...

Is that a new response, or the same one they gave a few weeks ago?
I'm looking at their "official" facebook page, and all I see are people asking about the update, but not any of the posts you're quoting
Not sure if this helps, but with the 2x drop rate I got three Light Keepers by doing the Blue Keeper run twice today. No insight on Rainbow, it's still too tough for me.
No, that was from Touch Arcade forums. GungHo actually posts over there.

Keeper dungeon has been nice to me today. Got a dark and light keeper plus 2 rainbows to drop. If only the ADK dungeon would be nice to me. I've only got 1 egg to drop out of 6 attempts so far, despite 5+ appearances of a lone stone knight before reaching the last floor.
Should it remain a thread where people bitch about low drop rates?

Fuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! Can't wait!
No big deal. It's still an extra bonus. I'll take anything that'll make leveling Light monsters easier. I'm actually more excited about the Dark Pengdras. Metal Dragons are so easy to get and currently useless. And the Metal Dragon dungeon is only 15 stamina opposed to 20 for the others, and it comes around often. It'll go from being the worst Dragon dungeon to the best, if GungHo doesn't rebalance it for the update.Well, you most likely still have to use Gold dragons to evolve the light Pengdras
I'm loving today's 2x Keeper dungeon. I'm 4/4 on Rainbow Keeper drops. Also, these bastards tried ambushing me, all appearing with the same 2-count timer. Viper Orochi said, "Fuck you assholes!"
This is my first time trying out the Vitras I pulled during godfest. Seems this is another monster that got its skills nerfed from its original version. The wiki says they deal 100K damage at 1HP, but they apparently got nerfed down to 50K max damage. *Shakes fist*

Just got to Castle of Satan and have no idea what I should do,
Red:
Minerva (13)
Echidna (21)
Dino Rider (21)
Tyrannos (12)
Blue:
Mystic Ice Knight (25 arg just need one indigo mask)
Plesios (9)
Blue Dragon (1)
Frost Demon (1)
Green:
Lakshmi (30)
Toyceratops (1)
Taur Demon (1)
White:
Venus (6)
Divinegon (30)
Holy Dragon (1)
Cupid (16)
I've been rolling with either a Red/blue lineup or a Green/fire lineup for the time being, but things are getting pretty damn hard. Anyone wanna offer some direction, or what I should be leveling?
