So here's my quandry with the possible Japanese/Egyptian godfest. I would absolutely LOVE to get a Horus and Anubis. I do not however have any desire to get the japanese gods. I've already got Orochi and Susano. Ammy, Yomi, and Kagatsuchi are not really useful to me at all. So even though I'd like to roll for the egyptian stuff I think I'd pass because of the fact it's paired with the japanese gods. Norse or Greek + Egyptian and I'd be there in a heart beat.

why do you want Anubis? Just to screw around with?
I picked him up last time and hes promptly sat on the bench. TOOOO much luck involved and really only useful in tri-color dungeons

I guess I wouldn't mind a Japanese godfest to try and get a Susano. I just don't think I could put that much into for more than a couple of pulls - that means Fairlio and a golem or something 
.
Latest plant data - 9 runs, 11 plants. I am now done evolving all the pendgras I had so everything i get now will sit until I have more ready to go (and as I said before, I have lots of dragons, mainly blue and green). I wouldn't mind getting about 30 plants stored, but that's probably 2 more stones at least.
EDIT: And thanks for the advice on the blue team. I'm hoping with a bit more experience pumped into it that it will be as good as my green one.

Yeah I definitely want Anubis for the tri-color dungeons and to use as a sub on my Dark Team. Those tri-color dungeons are a blast with the egyptian gods. I wish I could use Ra, the one egyptian god I do have, but that's not really feasible. His stats make him a really good dark team member and his active ability is pretty good too.

I picked up an Anubis during the last god event. I've had friends use him to take out the highest difficulty weekend dungeons, despite being severly underleveled. It's still not the easiest thing to pull off 10x combos at will, though. But when you do, it's magic.
Thanks for the friend invite, OTIX!

I pulled Susano last godfest... he really didnt seem very good. Am I missing something? He stats are low and his abilities arent too stellar.

He is a damage reducer. On a Freyja/Artemis team for instance he would get 4x/2x/2x bonus to atk/hp/rcv, helping those numbers to become better.
lol, I was about to say, I saw George post recently with like, rank 200+.. here I am 80 days in and rank 92. Either I suck or he is amazing
You're kind of comparing apples and oranges. George is a very hardcore player, unless your spending stones on refreshes it's not the same thing.
Just dump anything you can into them. I dumped all pengdras and any Kings into Valkyrie trying to get her ready for Hera. It's not as fast as the same color but it works.
Susano is a great mob and on the top of my list for wanted monsters... would love one as a sub. The 50% damage reduction for 5 rounds is a great skill and his evolved form stats are really high with 2700 HP. Great defensive mob.
Big mistake (in my eyes) people seem to make is wanting to roll Neptune, Shiva, Ammy... all the big names. But all you need is a good friend list to get those mobs. We've got a great community and helpful one here. It's the mobs like Susano, highlander, Berserker, Venus, Ceres that i've been looking for lately. Great non leader mobs with big stats that I need to build up myself because I can't rely on friends.
Is this real life?!
Does anyone else have this running through their head when they get a great run?

Someone will cut & paste I am sure, but here's some highlights:
Spring Fever Event - for US users
4/12 - 4/21: daily magic stone
4/15: x5 drop rate for + eggs in technical dungeons
4/12 - 4/21:
- x2 king dragon rates, with possibility of super kings showing up'
- x2 drop/x1.5 coins in the special daily dungeons
- x2 skill up (sniff, 10+ big baddies just wasted and I might have been able to max out my Duke)
- increase rare evo materials from the pal machine, including: all keepers, divine masks, dublits, mythlit, dragon fruit (boo), mystic mask
And they said there could be more to be announced.

Yes, it is.
Geez. Looks like I'll be leveling up my teams at a faster pace than I had thought. Really pleased we're getting another event so soon.

Wait. Chance of Super King Dragons showing? Across all dragon dungeons?
Even still, those things are gonna pack a punch. Shiva will be ready.

Apparently the Super King is a beast:
Shivas you will be in high demand during this event ;o.

I just remembered that Mondays have lately had the x2 drops for the technical dungeons. Now I don't know if that will be the case on 4/15 but that is a nice bonus if it is there.
EDIT: Looks like I will be working on my Shiva sooner than I thought. I would need more than 15 pendgras in order to max level him today but I only have enough red dragons for 9. Wiat, I have 4 ready to go. If I get lucky with a great/super in there I can get him maxed. At that point I guess I wouldn't want to evolve him right away though, right?
And what would be a suggested team to take on the dragons with Shiva as leader?

Sheesh if its x2 drop and x5 for the +... that might be a serious consideration to spend stones on refreshing stamina. Guess I better start researching the best XP/Stamina tech dungeons.

I don't think I've ever seen a Super King in JP outside of its own dungeon, meaning... we could be getting the Super King Dungeon :O

Should I pull for this JP God Fest??
I don't even know what I want, (or the team I want to build towards)
my major pull up until now has been Horus(main), with Artemis, basilisk, and Anubis.
Japanese/Egyptian gods doesn't seem all that useful for me, should I wait for the next fes?

No no, thank you. Another high level Shiva is gonna be great now that my Ares is evolved. I just completed the whiskey dragon on Legendary with this team, blew up the red demon with Ares and Horus skills. Unfortunately I had brought two Echidnas thinking I'd be safe on the boss, completely forgetting that he's immune to delay. It got really scary when he started spamming blaze ball, just barely managed to scrape through with my huge HP pool. You can get away with really low RCV in a tricolour dungeon, I had only 2.6k with Shivas buff and the boss does 9.5k-14k almost every round.
With the tech dungeon event on Monday and extra kings all week I'm gonna need to farm a ton of plants today.

Nice. Glad you can get some use out of Shiva. I'm focusing on maxing him (her?) out over this next week. I've got 3 +egg holders stocking up, and I'm wondering who to feed them to. I had a plan to feed him to Zeus eventually, but we'll see.
HAHAHAHA so I guess that first floor will be a stall and charge up shiva's skill kind of deal? Going to have to be a bit more careful with what I use to farm the metal dragon dungeons I guess.
So goals for this event. Max and evolve one of my Hera's possibly two depending on how lucky I get with the metal dragons (might use a couple stones if the king rate is good on these this time around). 1 more skillup for my titan. Farm the crap out of the tech dungeons on monday for +eggs. Farm as much of the emerald and sapphire dungeons as possible to pump up my blue and green teams. Yay more events! Maybe we'll even see a special dungeon on Monday? A stone or two might get spent on the gold dungeon this time around as well. With all kings going to my Ra.
So. Once I get my blue knight evolved, which is almost done. Only 14k exp left. I'll get my red knight evolved and try to max out my echidna. I've already added 8 +rcv eggs to my siren the enchanter. Maybe I'll try to add a few levels to her too. I really need to get my healers maxed out.

Who needs a 2x King event?
I figured I'd waste a few rolls trying to get the last Greek God I don't have, Venus, since it's the last day of the Light week. First roll.
I'll talk to you guys later, I'm off to buy some lottery tickets on the way to the casino.
I hate you. Shes level +1 and level 30 too, salt in the wound.
I guess even in the case of a God event, I would not bite. Sure I still like a Horus but again it will be a case of going for a single God when there are plenty I dont need. Egypt/Japanese actually don't interest me other than Horus, and I already got a couple of Japanese ones.
And since there is no better way than losing stones than rolling during Godfest, I guess I'll work on those bonus eggs and getting my Zeus team to 90~. I also really want a Water team. That Noel dragon does seem like a pretty legit way to beat some stages, and I don't want to prepare a team of every element just yet.

And here we were thinking we wouldn't have another event for quite some time. I'll burn at least 5 stones during that 5x tech dungeons. It's worth more than some random pull that will depress the shit out of me.
Might have to burn a stone tonight for extra plants in preparation.

Japan and Korea are getting a Japanese & Egyptian God Fest. On the image GungHo posted along the announcement a Isis and Amaterasu are present. I say we will get one.
Also crazy we are getting another event so soon! Awesome!!!

Just spent money on stones, I feel dirty, got a Toydragon and a Ice guardian. My biggest problem is that the team limit won't let me put my good monsters together :/
So with that promo coming up, is there a level requirement to take part? I'm rank 17 right now, I was able to finish the green dungeon today

Don't pull outside a Godfest.

It's not a bad idea early on when you just need low-cost muscle to fill out a team, but pulling so close to a potential Godfest... yeah...
At least you get stones quickly in the early levels.

I hope it is not Japanese and Egyptian... I do not have any Egyptian Gods, but I have a bunch of Japanese Gods (only missing Orochi and Yomi)
Random musings about REM below:
Such a crap shoot, and with my 100 day coming up, that means essentially 1 god for free . Previous rolling (consecutively) has indicated for me that I roll a Gold egg about 1 out of 3 times during Godfest, with Easter being excessively high (6 Golds out of 9 pulls) and 1 year anniversary being low (2 golds out of 8 pulls). Chinese new year I pullled 6 times and got 2 golds. And 5.0 I pulled 12 times and got 5 golds.
The January godfest I pulled three times (non consecutively) and I got 1 gold. The Puzzle Dragon forum has indicated similar findings for Godfests based on their forum members pull numbers and gets. I wonder what our rate would look like?
BTW - Their findings on Non-Godfests is sub 1/4 for any gold,

Run it with a viper Orochi team just like you would the expert mask dungeon and you should be fine right?

Not much moreso than expert masks/sprites. Super King's HP pool means he resists poison strategies somewhat, and a round 1 Super spells doom for a Shiva strat, but that's kinda true for any gimmick dungeon like this.
No because you are likely to face multiple opponents with low interval, so you will get nailed with a resolve team.
Apparently a popular choice if one including Dark Neptune. I guess the choice of leveling my water team may pay off here. Noel dragon should kick my health up big time, and the Neptune will finish the Super King with poison.

This is probably what I am going to run: either a
Dual Shiva Red team with high HP subs ( think Gigas) high HP to tank hits (for first round Super), mono red for levels without a super (and orb avoidance) and Shiva for the inevitable Defense break on the super.
OR:
Ammy-Oh (or Siren 5*) with Shiva/Poison subs and an Odin or Orochi friend leader
Think something like a cross between a rainbow Keeper team and a neptune team.
EDIT: Yaari I like your High HP blue team idea, and I do have a Blue Noel as well... I got it up to 45k yesterday testing it out on the Ruby dragons
