That is tempting, especially since I play a few other games on the iPad that have transactions, but my main account is Android so I will probably pass.

no 2x drop days make me sad. I had one run w/ 3, but have had plenty with 0-1. Did get the straight flush today as well.

Ok, I just saw that the new busty evo of Loki is 2x atk and rcv to dark and Dragon! That is huge. I wish it would double for dark element dragons though.

It's a typo; Demons, not Dragons. You can check out Vritra's new busty for 1/2/2 to dragons.

All the Riders were just Attacker types before. They were some of the monsters that got dual types with this update.
I was able to ultimate evolve Vritra, Indra, and Idunn & Idunna today. I just need 4 more Rainbow Keepers for Freyr, Freyja, Thor, and Loki. Not gonna bother running the Tuesday dungeon without a 2x bonus, though. So they'll have to wait until GungHo gives us another event.

Thanks. It looks like they left out Vritra and Indra ultimate evos.
Oh F the RNG god. I've been playing the Green Dragon's Den nonstop today, I need a couple Dragon Fruits to evolve my monsters. I don't need no stinking plant or flower. 10+ runs and a whole day later, all I got are stinking plants and flowers, zero fruit. It's like the Gungho is set to ruin me.

Haha! Dumb me. Just noticed the new Legendary Earth normal dungeon that's after Starlight Sanctuary. 99 stamina dungeon. I took a quick look at the Puzzledragonx site to see what it entailed, and saw nothing but enemy High and King Dragons. I didn't even check their attack and defense stats. I just assumed they were plain ol' Dragons from the special dungeons. So, I head in with my typical ADK team. 4 various High Dragons in the first round. I do a single AOE match, which should sweep the floor. Nope! Bunch of 1s. Then, they proceed to kill me in 1 turn. 99 stamina thrown away. Hot damn! Every enemy has 100K defense and several hundred HP. And they attack every turn, with Highs doing 7K damage and Kings doing over 11K damage. But the boss drop's leader skill give 3.5x ATK to Dragon allies and has the same active skill as Zeus.
Nah. I gotten nothing on the last floor a bunch of times before. You're only guaranteed a drop in every battle during 2x events.

Archangel (D/L) is better because two of them paired together means you essentially have a blanket 75% resistance to every element paired with a great active. Some put him on the same tier as Horus/Isis, but I'm not entirely convinced he's S tier.
Also while Zaerog's active has the same effect as Zeus's it has a different name, so...
George Claw M.D.

Yeah. Noticed that. Not the first example of that. I think Minerva has the same skill as Devils/Demons. I guess GungHo just doesn't want easier ways to skill-up certain monsters. Speaking of which, I actually have a Zeus on my friendlist who got his skill up to Lvl.11. I didn't notice until it activated on the same turn my Orochi did. I wonder how many times he ran Zeus' dungeon for that. Crazy.
And cost 100 (also a terrible RCV..). Not going to use it anytime soon lol...

Nah, Minerva's does less damage on a faster cooldown than the imps. It's about as useless as Isis's Quick Heal though, but a potential 3cd skill is enticing.
I'm tempted to evolve Idunn & Idunna and Vritra, but looking at the stats/ability changes ("lack of" in this case), it doesn't seem like it's worth it the evolution materials. Vritra at least gets 2x attack and recovery for Dragon types, so that's "kind" of useful, but it would have been nice if they didn't drop the God type multiplier.
This dungeon seems really difficult. I can't think of an efficient way of doing this without spending stones on the final boss.
Damn, the archangels are pretty OP.
All 5 basically have a 75 percent damage reduction to all for mono color teams.
Then everyone one have a top tier active skill.
red/blue/green - turns light to their color and dark to heal. Plus you can level them up to the point you can use them with no charge time.
yellow - turns everything to heal with a not so bad timer. Pair that up with a heal to orb and you got a skill that can be a full heal or a massive attack.
dark - 300K dark damage with the penalty of 1 hp. Not sure if you can still do this move if you only have 1 hp but if you could you're talking about 1.2 million damage to Zeus. Combine with 4 Heras you could kill Zeus before he even moves. Plus with easily 60K+ hp and 8K + RCV. You can easily no stone this. Also it finally makes a decent level Vritra useful. Especially since Vritra's Ultimate Evo does shit for its usefulness. Seriously is there a worse Ultimate Evo?

I've been busy, and only farming Plants intermittently today, so I haven't thought too much about how to beat that dungeon. Looking at the enemy stats on Puzzledragonx I knew it would be tough. On the Chinese wiki, it looks like all the suggested teams are Horus, Ra, or Goemon teams. Basically super high ATK multipliers to break armor.

um....how exactly do you plan to level them up?
Me? No chance. I've gotten 5 total Gods in this game and I've been playing since January.
Other people? Probable, considering some people have max skilled Blue Odins, I wouldn't be surprised to see some.
Hopefully I can luck into some.
If it's a guaranteed drop, it's more than worth a few stones. That leader skill just begs to be abused...
And as much crap as I give Dragon Plant day, I've gotta give it credit where credit is due:
EDIT: Of course, the very next run nets me two dragon seeds and nothing else.

Are we expecting a fest soon then?

I would expect one. Dunno when. Could even start this weekend. GungHo's sprung last minute surprises before.

Anyone have a Hermes or blue Noel they can throw up? I am wrapping up the last dungeon of the blue only conditional dungeon and I think I need 30k HP to survive neptune's charge attack.

If that's the case, I'll probably buy the $100 iTunes card, ha. Need some stones, and with Warhammer Quest coming soon (amongst other games), I will easily use it up.
Does anyone else think the Demon part of this godfest is a little lackluster? Don't get me wrong I think they could be pretty useful but the Angels seem to blow them out of the water.
Check out the attack on Zeus-Dios!

Holy cow, he would be fun to have for Horus or Ra.

Yeah Zeus-Dios' stats are ridiculous. He not only has the highest ATK in the game, but his other stats are decent as well. Other monsters with really high attack usually have really bad HP and RCV (see Ares/Skydragons).

Things were going great farming ancient wood dragon. Then this happened :
well shit. gg.
well shit. gg.

That round alone is why I only deal with the legendary dungeon. So much easier to steamroll the off color demon than the dual chimera...
I run it with my mono red team, so as long as I kill the big demons first I never get locked down (unless I am unlucky on the boss). Siren is difficult though, especially if she gets her healing (typically I save Echidna for 1/4 health siren, pop it and then pray I kill her before it is over)
MMBosstones86
Member
yeah, trying to get some skillups for the ancient wood though and i missed the 2x event. With tri-color, I can usually annihilate most things.....until i get bound and bad things happen.
Zippedpinhead
Member
I had meant the legendary level of the wood whiskey dragon dungeon (not the legendary dragon dungeons). I completely understand trying to skill up the whiskey dragons, Getting that short cooldown even shorter can be devastating.
getting bound really stinks, it is never a good thing. Always happens at the worst time too (think 1 round before echidna, or your orb changers)
MMBosstones86
Member
ooooo alright I gotcha. Yeah i'm not sure i'm ready to take down Legendary yet. Topping out with 32k HP with Parv/Artemis. Don't know how much more difficult it is from master. Maybe i'll give a it a try when the stamina regens
Zippedpinhead
Member
The demons in round 5 are Red/Green, so you do not have to worry about them locking your mono-green team, (though you may want to save skills so you can try and kill the green one immediately). Round 9 is a Siren, that gives my mono red team trouble, but your mono green should annihilate her.
Round 10 is Lug, but he typically starts on a 2 timer, and he uses his first turn for that 999 no status skill. So 4 turns before he attacks, and 32k should tank all of his skills once. So the 6 turn kill is very doable with my mono red. You have enough orb changers where you can use some each turn to help add up those combos.
If you are not having any issues with Master Lug, then you should be able to tangle with legend Lug. Toughest part for you would be round 5.
EDIT: I wanted to thank VulcanPGaf for the use of his Hermes for the final level of the water only/no water orb dungeon. Needing to tank 22k from Neptune while I waited for MY neptune's poison to come back after using it the round before is a PAIN!. Even if I had snagged a blue knight for armor break (like what I had to do for the Kelpie/treants in the wood dungeon), I still would have had to tank the 22k because Neptune loves to charge his skill.
Ok serious talk, the new monsters in the conditional dungeons (Treants, kelpies, wisps), why do they have such ungodly high Defense? 54000, really? at least with red, I can shiva my way to victory

They did that on purpose to force you to either bring in a knight (-50% def) or a busty ogre.
Zippedpinhead
Member
so turning useless monsters into 1 dungeon use monsters... ok makes sense, just very frustrating...
MMBosstones86
Member
even with a knight thats ludicrous. Brings it down to...27k def? Hell of a combo needed.
Wait he never binds all red if you don't kill him in 4 turns? I always have to save Echidna for Whiskey because I require 5 turns to kill him unless orbs fall in my favor and if I don't then he binds me on turn 4.
