I just beat the Ancient Light dragon on master with Lightning Holy Dragon and Fertility Deity Holy Ceres leaders. My subs were Duke Vampire Lord, Chaos Devil Dragon, Lilith, and a Rainbow Keeper. I'm glad the dragon dropped because it took a while to complete. I had to use Ceres' heal and Rainbow Keepers skill once.

Anyone else make it a point to get all the special dungeon Dragons, but never actually use them? I have all the Sky Dragons and Legendary Dragons, but I don't use nor have I leveled any of them. They're just sitting in my box taking up space, and some even have +eggs on them. I'm thinking I should just feed/sell them off. Even the tricolor Whiskey Dragons aren't appealing to me. I'm only going to level the Light and Dark ones, since they're not weak against anything and might work well on Resolve/Perseverance teams with their low cooldowns. But for coventional teams, I prefer the Mechanical and yet unreleased Sengoku Dragons.

They're basically trophies for you to look at as far as I'm concerned, especially with their high team cost.
Yeah, I'm thinking off feeding them to my other monsters. I also have a few of those dual coloured dragons which I don't have a use for atm. Only thing keeping me from feeding them off is the small possibility Gungho might add an additional evolution to them.

So far Mech Hadar gets use along with the Whiskeys. Love that Whiskey skill, waiting for a 2x skill event as I'm sitting on 6 Green ones.
Speaking of events....looks like everyone has one except us?
So that's where all my plants went. 3 runs this morning so far and 0 plants and fruit. My luck has gone south on plants ever since the new version.

Yeah, I did 5 runs and finally accrued enough plants to evolve some of my pengdras. I'm finally at the point where I'm waiting on colored dragons again. But my first two runs yielded 0 plants. 3rd gave me my first, and the next two gave me 2 each. Thursday is the only day I ever spend a stone on stam.
I'm currently running out of Red Dragons before I run out of plants, so I can keep constantly evolving my Pengdra as long as I don't use Magic Stones to refill, which is nice.
Event will start tomorrow. With Lightless Devil's Nest, which features Vampire.
As I said on the PAD Forum, some of this stuff comes so late that it is absolutely pointless. Lol. I think everyone 2-3 months in, already has this stuff.
Either way, Godfest should also occur shortly after. Details should come up later today.

For a while before the new version I was casually tracking my plant rate, I was pulling a plant per every 3-5 stamina. It seems to a lot worse after the patch.

I just wanna know why GungHo drags their heels so much on new Descended dungeons. JP gets a random one on what seems like a weekly basis.
This really bugs me too. Why not spread them out a bit more for us. Instead of dumping them all on us for 1 week then giving us nothing for a month.
As for plant farming so far today. I've gotten 7 Dragon Fruit and 31 Dragon Plants in 19 runs.. o.0 This was highlighted by two 4 plant runs in a row and a run where I got 2 Fruit and 2 Plants. RNG man.... RNG

Vampire eh? Guess I should get one of them
US is the bastard child
After my first 3 runs, I had 11 Seeds. I'm good on Seeds guys, thanks.

RNG is smiling on me today too. After three runs I have 10 plants and a plus egg. Hope this keeps up.
Don't point at it. You've killed it.

1st world problems.
So, I think I have a cobbled together a somewhat viable team to clear legend whiskey, I just need to actually remember to use my actives. It's just a vamp lord leader with 3 rainbows + echidna, running with an evolved loki helper. Just charge echidna for devils and use rainbows if necessary for lilith, recharge skills again on whiskey. When he powers up, you use your actives like rainbow/rainbow/echidna/rainbow, or rainbow/echidna/rainbow/rainbow to give you relatively safe windows for using vamp's skill 3 times. Once at the beginning, once with echidna, and finally at the end. If you don't kill him in that timeframe then your team is still too weak.

Interesting strategy. Need max skill vamp, no?
yeah you def need a max skill vamp for it.
nicoga3000

One day, haha.
Unrelated, is it worth leveling a Healer Girl team, or would the HP be too low to be viable in harder dungeons? I've got like 9 Pengdras to feed up, but I don't want to waste them on a non-viable team.
Before, a healer team wasn't too great because of the lower hp but I think they are a bit more viable since the updates. The Blue ninja and Freyja are now healers and they provide some pretty good stats and decent leader skills.

Sweet, now I will be able to clear it (last time it dropped back in January, I could only run the lower two levels). Hopefully I will get more vampires than I got Dark Mystic Knights (ran the hardest dungeon 10-12 times, no drops).
Godfest this weekend or early next week?
5k exp per feed, more to green mobs. You always need Fruit.
Isn't Valkyrie healer girls + Orochi friend one of the standard teams for a Hera clear?
I think healers as a TEAM are just very situational. But individually, they are incredibly important subs, especially Siren (often x2) and Echidna.

I WANT fruit and get none.
If it makes you feel better about a few weeks ago when I needed a fruit it took me about 6 tries to get one even with 2x event.
nicoga3000

I run Valk/Valk + Echidna, 2x Siren, and Lilith. But again, HP is pretty low.
atlantaguy
Member
I've always felt like the Valkyrie team is not worth it. An ADK team is easier to build, has higher HP, and has higher attack. I can understand the need for Valk/Orochi but a dual Valk team seems unnecessary.

Yeah. I liked when we got the Dragon Guardian dungeon for a whole week, with it ending with a 2x drop rate the way the these weekly Dragon dungeons do. I'd rather have a Descended dungeon for a whole week every week, then 3-4 of them for a single day each throughout 1 week. It's just too hectic that way, and requires an all-day blitz if you're trying to max skill those monsters.

Guilty as charged. I just want another crack at the Mech Dragons.
I hope Valk gets a new Leader Ability.

3x to healers purportedly. Should make for a potent combination with the light sticker girl who gives 2.5x HP to healers.
On the other hand the chance we get the sticker girls is lower than Mechdragon drop rate on Adept and I've never seen one on the explorer list, so.
Vampire drop rate from this dungeon is abysmal. Don't get your hopes up. Might honestly be better chain running COS
Zippedpinhead

Sticker girls? Is that kind of like the griffon / kraken in the sky dragon stages from a month ago? Except in the mechdragon stages? I hope we get the mechdragons next, I really want that red one and I think I've got a great shot at legendary.
Do the sticker girls have an EVO?

Nah, they were only available from a promo code you got from buying a physical pack of stickers:
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=416
For example. We have a slightly higher chance of getting them than the collab dungeons because they don't have any copyright associated with them; they were purely created for PAD. You'll even see Mitsuki as a boss in the Goemon and Shingen dungeons (she doesn't drop of course).
Also time travel shows we're getting event tomorrow... just that GungHo hasn't announced it yet for who knows what reason.

What's the standard ADK team?
George Claw M.D.
Member
I don't know if there's a consensus standard, but here's my take at a couple possible builds:
If you're going mono Wood:
ADK
ADK
Fortoytops
Wood Mech or Whiskey
Echidna
ADK
For Wood/Dark:
ADK
ADK
Wood or Dark Mech or Whiskey
CDK
CDK
ADK
The third ADK can be subbed-out for anything else, also. Only the 2 leaders are really necessary. Fortunately Dragons are a plentiful monster type if you need filler monsters.
I personally run the Wood/Dark variant I listed with the Wind Mech for 4 Wood and 2 Dark monsters. I swap out the Mech for an Earth Knight for armor break when I'm farming Neptune's dungeon. However, I now use my latest Heavy Metal Dragon acquisition instead of ADK leader. But I only have 3 friends who also have one, so far.
What was your team for that dungeon? How many stones?
