Well guess I should give Ancient Dragon a try again. Tried Master with mono blue and basically got screwed by a blue lockout, lowered my HP by 3.5.

I know most of you stopped running it, so any tips for a safe-ish Master run?

Edit: Stupid phone, didnt see the post right above me.

When I beat master I used. Meteor Volcano Dragon + Isis as my two leads and filled my subs with high HP mobs and a siren. I think I'm going to try and use water mobs as my subs this time. Having a multiplier makes a huge difference. I can't wait till Water and Wood come around I definitely have better setups for beating those two then I do Fire.

Any healer (in place of Siren) will do right? I just need Isis friends...

Does anyone have a high level Megalodran or Flame Drall? I could really use it. ID is:
384 134 290

My Megalodron is 34 if that helps. Sent you an invite, message me in game if you want me to put him up.

Decided to do a rare pull hoping for Isis or the blue Ninja. Got Hades. Fuck yeah!

I've stayed away from rolls all weekend, stop tempting me!!!!

Ugh. Hate you! And this master level of ancient is taking forever. It's not even remotely fun. I won't be running this again, so I hope it drops when I kill this dragon ..... 3 hours from now.

Did the Ancient dragon on master another six times with a blue starter+Hermes team, not entirely safe but quite fast. Got two skillups on Ardbeg, got two Nagas but no skillups. Also got a couple skillups on my red starter from the chimeras, kinda useless though.

I assume it's the blue whiskey dragon next. Gonna put more effort into maxing his skill, seems like that short cd nuke would go very well on a super defensive double Noel team. And the high HP and RCV would be perfect for that team as well. I'm thinking an Ares+Shiva team should be able to handle Legendary.

Nice. Got my ancient fire dragon! Tell me. Is there any reason for me to NOT feed my MVD to him? Seems as though he's better in every way. And I have a high level flare drall for the fire resistance.

Thanks. I added you, but I was looking for one at lvl 50+. I needed a few more HP for a Megalodran/Flame Drall dual resist team for Ancient Dragon. I might still try it, but I doubt it.

I've got a 62 flame drall. Helpful?

Edit. Looks like we're already friends. I put him up.

Thanks! I'm gonna need him within 30 minutes or so. I hope I'm not interfering with training or anything.
Nah. I'm out if stamina at the moment. Didnt get much done in this game today. Though I did put 400 miles on the motorcycle! Worth it!

I JUST got mine to drop! Was my last attempt. Took way way way too long. Glad that's done!

Man... I decided to attempt the Master Ancient dragon with my Mono-Green team today. I had my most disappointing moment in this game. I made it all the way until he was a sliver away from dying, just one more combo and he would have been dead. No heart orbs had shown for 3 straight turns and I was in serious trouble. I tried to put a big combo together but my finger slipped and I messed up and he killed me so for the first time ever I used a stone to continue so I could finish it and get him. So bitter after that.... It still stings 7 hours later. lol Looking forward to the Ancient Water dragon though. I think I can farm this one during the increased drop so I can try to get some skillups for it. I wanna use him as a sub on my mono-blue team. I love the challenge of these tri color ancient dragon levels definitely a lot of fun seeing 20+ combos.
 
Trying to build a dark team. So far I have received two Mystic dark knight. I'm leveling one but wondering if I should farm the Lil Black dragon. Would one of each be better than two Dark knights?

I like two of them maxed because you have two orb changers. Max black dragon is nice as a ripper in certain situations though. When I run dark it's usually something like

Vampire Lord
CDD
CDK
CDK
Rainbow
Loki/Vamp

Works well enough for me.

Thanks. So even with vampire lord you still have two more orb changers?

I have a Siren would she be a good fit in a Dark team? I've read she's the best healer in the game so I kinda wanted to work her into the team. Figured her turning fire(which I don't use) into hearts could combo well with vamp lord.

So far I have

Maxed Keeper of Rainbow
Level 31 Siren, the Enchanter
Two Mystic Dark Knights(lvl 24 and 8)
Trying to Farm Black Dragon and haven't reached Vampire drops yet.

I'm at Rank 22 so I can't use all of these together yet..

I like vamp lord because he's heart to dark, whereas your dark knights are light to dark. So essentially you'd have 3 orb changers. Replacing the keeper of rainbow for siren works in my book as well, for your exact reason.

News seems a bit confused tonight, heh. "Friday Dungeon" and both Ancient open? Oops.

And I just blew through Ancient Water Dragon on Legend with Artemis/Artemis and a Shiva sub. I didn't even think it was going to work, haha.

I caught master ancient fire dragon before it ended, wanted to try once before it disappeared, I'm on him now, but good god its gonna take forever rrrr

I wrecked Ancient Water Dragon on legend with:

Shiva/Shiva leaders
Horus
Echidna
Pheonix Knight Homura
Gigas

I only messed up because I was half doing homework and half changing orbs on echidna and forgot to heal up. One stone spent, which I'm not mad about because I would've raged at the 40% drop rate for master or lower.

Still no luck with +eggs in Hill of Iris or other technicals. Four different dungeons over six runs and no + drops. This is just sad.

Warning to people going to run Ancient Water Dragon. I just wiped on Master round 5 because there is a red and blue chimera that hits for a shit ton of damage and I only had water resist (both were in the same timer). Hate losing 40 stamina.

So far I've gotten a +egg for every run I've done today. Currently 4 levels away from Hill of Iris's Rainbow.

Absolutely LOVE Emerald dragons today. I've somehow missed these the last MANY times. Might spend a stone of two

Can anyone recommend me a team for Hills of Iris Rainbow? I'm afraid of going in with Zeus... I have, a Dark Team, very underlevel Red wit Shiva, a fairly good Green Team with Artemis, ADK, A halfway good Blue Team but only the Holyday Dragon as Leader...

Green team should be more than sufficient. You can go ADK if you have high enough total HP (about 10-12k) and some decent dark subs.

Yep, a red team is very safe. I used Ares+Shiva and breezed through it. With Echidna charged up you can kill the green demon before he can lock you and there are no other dangers really. Gonna be farming Legendary for skillups.

I farm it with a mostly dark ADK team. You just need a big hit to finish off the boss before she can heal.

How were naga drops for ardberg? Trying to figure if I'll have a better chance at getting siren/mermaid with these new dungeons instead of farming sea cave mercury.

Pretty good, I got 3 Nagas from It. You should definitely farm the blue one for Siren, especially when it goes 2x.

mono-green will be fine, that's what i'm running. Usually with Parv/Artemis.

Anyone else get a game update today? Did the game get any major changes or was it just bug fixes?

Bug Fixes only

After getting 100 day bonus on both devices I decided to go after blue pulls.

iPad:

Naga, Basilisk, Sylph ( the third one of this useless character on my ipad), Succubus

iPhone:

Dark Golem, Segfried (accidentally hit start only wanted to do one roll and already have him)

So tempted to burn the rest, want Isis and Neptune so bad.

I wouldn't, you will get trolled.

Speaking of, what do you guys do with the shit you pull you will never use, keep it or fuse it?

Gungho needs to put out a special T-shirt for this Tech dungeon + egg drop event. I went to Iris Hill and all I got was this lousy chimera. Seriously, no drops after 5 runs. Definitely won't be spending any more stamina here.
 
Man, screw that AWD. Hits way harder, got double hit with dual resist and still crushed me for like 16000 just on expert. Guess I'm just not ready for it. Plus with red enemies in there. Seems wayyyyyyy tougher. Oh well, not like it would have dropped for me anyways.

I still have not seen one + egg during this entire event. I've always had bad luck with + eggs but this is getting very frustrating.
