Sheesh, if you say those monsters are lacking for your Fire team, I dont even want to think about mine (I dont even think I have 5 solid Fire monsters...)

• 
  [*]Shiva the Destroyer 53
• Red Skydragon El Dorado 15
• Ancient Fire Dragon Ardbeq 18
• Firedragon Tyrannos 56
  [*]Echidna the Red Empress 37
• Meteor Volcano Dragon 28
  [*]Phoenix Knight 56
• Shaitan 25
  [*]Titan 25
  [*]Flamedragon Muspelheim 10

I bolded the ones I believe should be part of your team. Shiva as leader, rest as subs. Work on leveling/Evolve Phoenix Knight, Skilling up Titan (easy to do), and leveling up Muspelheim. Muspelheim can be swapped for Whiskey if you wish, he just costs a lot more to use and does not evolve.

Edit: Also, since there isnt a 2x King event going on, and Black/White Penguins dont exist (that we know of)... what would you guys advise for leveling up high-level monsters of those colors? I have a level 60 Vampire Lord that I want to evolve... but using standard Metal dragons will be a huge money/time/stamina sink. Would you guys recommend just sitting on him until a 2x king event again?

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Alright, my fire team is REALLY lacking some punch. Here is what I'm working with now. Aside from acquiring new members...where should I dump xp?

LIST

My levels just weak? I actually have been using the ancient firedragon a lot. dat 9CD nuke

That Red Group looks like mine except instead of Shaitan I have a Chiyome (underlevelled of course). I am working on my Pheonix knight and I use the Whiskey Dragon instead of Muspelheim (mainly because I think I am 1 dub rubylit away from Busty evo). I may switch in Chiyome for the Gigas (once she is a bit higher leveled), because what little RCV red does have from Echidna gets sapped away by using Gigas.

I'd just go ahead and start feeding it evolved off color pengdras if it's something you'd rather not wait for. Who knows when we'll have our next 2x king event.

 

[MicH]

What's this about no 2x King appearance? I just got 3 Ruby Kings and 2 highs in two runs. Fuck yeah!

The Vampires aren't terrible early pulls, but you can pick them up later for free. I would reroll.

And yes, you should probably play through the first few dungeons to pick up 1 or 2 more pulls before deciding on an account if you aren't planning to spend money. If you roll something decent the first time, those beginning dungeons will go by pretty fast. Your general aim is to pull another monster that has good synergy with your first pull. I know it seems like a hassle, but it will really benefit you later on. If you have questions about any particular pulls, you can ask around here. If I get time tomorrow, I might try and put together something like a secondary pull list to cover this.

I'd probably reroll if I were you. If you're planning on playing the game for awhile, then it helps to have a good, strong unit that can form the foundation for a powerful team. In general, you'll be looking for a God / Goddess that offers bonuses to like-colored or specific type of unit.

Vampire IS a solid card and most of the members of a dark team are fairly easy to assemble (meaning that you can get almost all of the units without spending any money.) The problem is that, while rare, he does drop from the free card machine. What you want is something that you can only get via the rare machine - something good.

I had to start over once when I sent my phone in for repairs. The first time I played, my first pull was a Genie - a pretty mediocre unit that I almost never used. My second pull was a green golem. Both are pretty bad, but I was still able to advance past the Castle of Satan and was slowly amassing a decent collection.

When I started over, I pulled Chiyome and my second pull was a Highlander. They have great synergy and she's been great to me - the only problem being that no one else uses her. :/

Long story short, if you're having fun, you don't really need to reroll. You'll hit the wall sooner than later and then progress will slow to a crawl. Pretty much everyone but the heavy spenders hit that wall at some point though.

If you're not attached to your units, take a look at the wiki and get an idea of what kind of monsters you like. Maybe make a list of potential candidates. Then if one drops, you'll be good to go.

Popular candidates are cards like Valkyrie, Isis, Green Odin, Parvarti, Ookami Ameterasu, some of the newer Roman gods, Shiva, and Orochi. These units are popular usually because they're either highly in demand, or keystones to entire team set-ups.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips guys, yeah I'm already starting to hit the wall with my Vampire Lord team on the 3*, I'm like 80% reliant on a good helper to make it past a level and cant get past the first fire stage of 3* :/ guess its time to reroll

What's this about no 2x King appearance? I just got 3 Ruby Kings and 2 highs in two runs. Fuck yeah!

I hate you! I ran the emerald dungeon the other day 8 times and got nothing but the little ones. I only saw a king once. Hopefully I'll have better luck today.

I had similar shitty luck Monday. But out of the 8 runs I did today I got 4 Kings and 2 High. So that's pretty good, I think

 

[Dark Phoenix]

Here is a great google doc template to keep track of your shit.

Wow, this is very useful, thanks!

Unrelated note: Are the tiny demons useful at all? I have 2 of them but haven't done anything with them yet.

 

[ParityBit]

I hate you! I ran the emerald dungeon the other day 8 times and got nothing but the little ones. I only saw a king once. Hopefully I'll have better luck today.

I had 3 runs so far today, 2 kings. I hope you have the same luck! Or better.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Do you think they are ever going to update this to work in the cloud? I really hate the fact I can't play this on my iphone and pick it up on my ipad and vice versa...

 

[Radav]

Wow! You guys are giving me hope! Going for sapphire's today and I'm in group B. So 3 more hours and I'll see if my luck is better today.

So I just evolved my Artemis into his final form yesterday and got a taste of the awesomeness that's a Mono-Color Team. Now I'm reaaaaaaally regretting not being able to farm 2 Heroes for my Chu Chu. Having that heart orb swapper would make this so awesome. Goodbye ADK team you served me well. lol

 

[OTIX]

Won't be able to farm any jewel dragons today since my boxes are already full. I really didn't farm enough plants last Thursday since it was Hera day.

 

[MicH]

According to the Facebook group, it was just officially revealed that Cu Chulainn, Siegfried and Valkyrie will be getting ultimate evolutions as well. No details on wherether Vampire Lord or Gigas will get those forms yet.

Yup, I can never catch up with these guys Still haven't evolved any of them from their 5* form. But this is awesome, can't believe how many evolutions these guys are getting.

 

[SaberVulcan]

Between Monday and Today, I have seen a grand total of 1 King, and it did not drop.

Got 2 High though, woo.

Man more badass evolves. I wonder if these will be dual element or double element like the Legendary Dragons. It really is tough to keep up with the constant slew of updates to gods and stuff like that. I think I've decided that I'm going to hoard stones for an Egyptian godfest and pray I can pull a Horus and Anubis and then I'll be done with REM for a good long while so I can focus on maxing a bunch of stuff. (Famous last words for sure. lol)

They need to buff Princess Valkyrie's stats. My Great Valk is just sitting at max level even though I have the evo materials. It just doesn't seem worth it at the moment. Ulitmate evos don't really do much about that though I guess.

 

[Tonner Cyn]

I think I have about 60 spaces open in my box. I'll probably do at least 4 runs on the emerald dungeon when it opens for me in 15 minutes. The rest of the day will probably be spent farming a few more pendgras and maybe working on the regular dungeons a bit (I am at Vesta Cave currently).

I am fairly close to max leveling Siegfried and Artemis and have the items needed to evolve them. I am also trying to level a Hera, Persephone, and Great Valk, but those are lower priority.

My mono-green team has an average level of 61 while my mono-blue is only at 46. I want to get both of those higher.

It is nice not feeling like I have to go after mystic masks today. Without the 2x I'd probably have terrible luck. Unfortunately tomorrow is going to require massive plant farming and I am not looking forward to the drop rate on that.

you better knock that off right now. Gungho doesn't like that word

I will find you and hurt you.

IMO, you should wait until the weekend and farm for plants in Towers of Giants > Dragons of Tower. I did that mindlessly during the past weekend, and got more than enough plants to evolve my pendras.

I am fairly certain they will get a second element as all ultimate evolution do. So that's pretty cool!

They need to buff Princess Valkyrie's stats. My Great Valk is just sitting at max level even though I have the evo materials. It just doesn't seem worth it at the moment. Ulitmate evos don't really do much about that though I guess.

Yeah, Princess Valkyrie really isn't worth it. I would also keep my Great Valkyrie at max level instead of evolving her. I have the same feeling regarding Gigas. Keep him max level and not evolving as 1) I'm not a big fan of his negativ RCV when evolved and 2) his attack increase really isn't that great, only HP is worth it if you need that

I will find you and hurt you.

Muhahaha! Let's see how it goes when my Sapphires are up

 

[MMBosstones86]

1 drop in the expert mask dungeon. 1. At least in the lower dungeon stuff drops. What a waste.

Need 3 more crimson masks. argh

 

[Zippedpinhead]

I never farm the mask dungeon except during double drops. I get better luck while farming for + eggs on Ocean of Heaven on the weekends. and Divine masks I typically get during my lower technical level pengdra farming.

 

[Pacman2k]

Wow. Fuck you mask dungeon.

4 runs and nothing. I need 3 of those damn things.

Ugh.

Up until now any time I needed a rainbow mask I got it instantly from the mask dungeon. RNG coming back to get its revenge on me.

 

[Splat]

After ~360 turns I was able to grind through master ancient fire dragon and got the drop, followed by a 1 stone run of master legendary flame dragon which also dropped. Hooray! Didn't realize Ardbeg's cost was so ridiculous.

 

[J0dy77]

Wow. Fuck you mask dungeon.

I need a couple more masks but refused to run it today without the 2x drop rate, seemed like only pain and suffering would await me. I'm going to give the tri-color tech dungeon a try and see if I fair any better. I'd have the change at +1, pengdras and high kings as well.

Muhahaha! Let's see how it goes when my Sapphires are up

I'll let you know how my Sapphire run goes since it's the only color dungeon I ever get to run in group B!!! Seriously Gungho, how hard can it be to fix this bug?

 

[BamYouHaveAids]

Where is the best place to farm green pengdra? Did the update decrease the rate of Fertile Land? I used to get 2+ consistnetly and 1 every time--I just ran it 3x and got 4 Cimerea. I actually had a run where nothing dropped.

 

[Tonner Cyn]

8 runs on emerald dungeon (I leveled after the first 4) and 1 king, 4 high. Sigh. It was enough to get my Artemis evolved and then leveled up to 26 though, so not a total loss or anything.

Think I have asked this before but can't remember the answer - is Shiva one to level & evolve?

 

[Radav]

3 sapphire runs just now and I got a king on each run. I think I had my first king drop where there was something else on the screen other then the king. Somebody must have moved a decimal point or something. Now to decide who to give them too...

that's where i've been running. 2nd level of Fertile land. It varies...I just got 1 +egg and 4 Pengdras.

Not sure what the actual question is...but yes, evo Shiva. Leader skill is 1.5x hp, rcv, atk

 

[Krauser Kat]

booo, i need a weaker red team. I nuked the stage one masks on a random red combo twice today. all that stamina.

 

[MMBosstones86]

booo, i need a weaker red team. I nuked the stage one masks on a random red combo twice today. all that stamina.

Done something like that before. Have to be careful to make matches along the top and be on the look out for 2 reds next to each other. Of course, you can't help when you get dropped 3 reds in a row.

Best to grab a red...make an offcolor match...move red near the bottom and hope for the best.

I did manage to get through friday's dungeon when I had the same thing happen to me. It is doable...just extremely more difficult

 

[razgriz417]

o god, 7 rerolls and I got a Valkyrie, idk if I can stand to continue rerolling...

 

[Ashodin]

o god, 7 rerolls and I got a Valkyrie, idk if I can stand to continue rerolling...

I'd keep valkyrie, that shit you gotta pay for

 

[mercviper]

Amaterasu lvl 90 now! I need like, 100k xp per level for the last 9 though -___________-

 

[MicH]

Alright. Shit luck with Sapphires, unfortunately. 2 Kings out of 8 runs. A good load of Highs, though. Now my box is full and I gotta wait for plants tomorrow

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

o god, 7 rerolls and I got a Valkyrie, idk if I can stand to continue rerolling...

Keep the save file and do another few rolls; if nothing better than Valk pops out go back to her.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Lol, I gotta be the most unlucky person here. 7th time LFD master, no drop. Gonna wait till this weekend and see if there is a 2x drop. Still probably wont drop.

 

[BlueSteel]

Welp, i just had my first dream about PAD. Dreamt that I got some GLOBAL AWESOME exp boost, 3.0x instead of 2.0x for super.

Good job me X_X

 

[Yaari]

So JP is already nearing their 12m celebration. It seems like only 2 weeks ago that they hit 10m. Really unbelievable how big this game is over there. I'd imagine US is growing aswell but we'll never see these numbers.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Alright. Shit luck with Sapphires, unfortunately. 2 Kings out of 8 runs. A good load of Highs, though. Now my box is full and I gotta wait for plants tomorrow

3 runs.....1 high. Didn't even see a king. miss the 2x event

 

[AcridMeat]

I just beat the castle of satan last night and did my first technical dungeon today, I got a leaf chimera out of it. Are these similar to the pengdras in that I want to max/evolve it then feed it to something?

 

[J0dy77]

Nope, feel free to feed them anytime.

 

[mercviper]

That's just random fodder. Use it to level up pengdras or feed low level monsters. With how the xp curve is at lower levels, you could also feed it another chimera to actually increase the xp you would get. e.g. Two lvl 2 chimeras provide 1200 xp each for 2400. If you fed one to the other, that would give you one lvl 6 chimera that feeds for 3600.

It's pretty profitable to do this for any chimera, demon, devil, evolved ogre, or evolved carbuncle that is 5 or below in level since they have really good xp gains per level as a feeder.

 

[AcridMeat]

Okay thanks

and yeah I've been using that method of feeding for a while now, just costs/takes way more time.

 

[daemissary]

Lol, I gotta be the most unlucky person here. 7th time LFD master, no drop. Gonna wait till this weekend and see if there is a 2x drop. Still probably wont drop.

I think they mightve nerfed the drop rate this week compared to last week. I'm on 6 in a row with no drop right now and I was getting one virtually every other run last week.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Well it's good to know I'm not alone with this bullshit. Maybe on the 10th or 20th run we'll get lucky lol.

 

[daw840]

So I played the Expert Mask Dungeon one time and got a Mystic Mask! Sweet!

Now I need another one....but not until next week. This will let me evolve both my red and blue Knight to the final level. Then start maxing my red team out.

Just need a Gigas.

 

[razgriz417]

Another 5 rolls and I pull a Venus, is that worth keeping?
