Homey what was your final team as you jumped into it?
Thanks again. Rawrrrrrr
My 3463 HP Odin should be up. I think I have you on my list
I tried my luck (thought I doubt I had a chance to begin with) with Hera. I knew full well I'd probably won't survive Hera going in with me not having Odin or Ama.
Leader was Siren, the Enchanter with max skill
Two Rainbow Keepers
Chaos Devil Dragon
Lilth Witch of the Night
Sub was some dude's Awoken Odin.
Made it to Hades, then forgot to to use Rainbow Keeper skill on his attack turn, dead in one hit.
Oh well, may be this week, Ocean of Heavens will grace me with a mermaid so I can do CCD+Odin team.

Dragon Plant drops have been shit for me today. Worst in quite a while. So many damn seeds and carbuncles.
Gotta be honest, if you're going in there with the bare minimum team, you NEED to pull off some high combo crit strikes immediately to get your footing, or you're gonna get bitch slapped right back out of there.
Focus fire on whatever devil is weak to your damage. Combo up as high as you can. As soon as you have a foot hold, charge up your RKs/mechs so when you go into the next wave you can pop a def boost. Repeat.

Yeah I ate a stone and sorta figured it out from there. Didn't charge round one when I had a chance and then got stuck w/ a mystic knight and demon that were on different timers and would occasional line up and knock me off odin to a point where I couldn't get back up. on round 5 now, 2 stones gone

CDD with max Awoken Odin partner, 2 max skill Sirens (level 40+), Rainbow Keeper, Lilith for Neptune. Relatively easy, just slow.
E: Venus and round 1 are the hardest part of the run. You can take 2 hits from Hera thanks to CDD and Rainbow Keeper. Venus requires Keeper to take 2 hits, so you have to be careful. Round 1 has been good to me. Max skill Sirens mean unless you get REALLY unlucky, you're fine. You should have enough hearts if you play right to get 5 turns in for skill CD.

This is actually the second best situation you can be in (the best being unsynched demon/demon or knight/knight) because their timers will only line up every six turns. 2stoning Hera ain't nothing to be ashamed of.Yeah I ate a stone and sorta figured it out from there.

absolutely. Expert is best for farming Moltdras....Master and Legend if you want to farm the Ancient dragon. I've been running Expert since it's come out and only have one drop to show for it.

Having no luck with farming ancient dark for D'Spinas. In fact I've only gotten one significant drop in 20 or 30 runs. At least I don't have to worry about running legend. I really want to catch a D'Spinas since its so easy to level up, but I suppose I'll live if I don't manage it. They really need to make an 2x ATK/HP leader. My dark team is really nice since the last super metal and would be by far my best team. I would also love to catch a Persephone but the chances of that are pretty slim.
When the Mech Dragons first came around I got the Blue to drop on Expert (was my first major drop). I've only seen a couple people post getting one in adept in this thread. If you can run Expert it's worth trying a few times just to see if you get lucky. Adept is a waste.
I really think there's something wrong with the rand in this game.
I always get super bad luck or super good luck. (3 super bad versus 1 super good)
When the event first start I used all my last poring tower drop and got 0 skill ups. My first few naga? 0 skill ups. Probably went through easily 30 monsters.
My last full stamina run of nagas net me 3 and decided to wait since I wasn't having much luck that day. Next day was poring tower. Ran it until my storage was full. First monster, yellow slime for falio, skillup. 2nd a dark slime for vamp, skill up. 3rd monster 2 ghost for lillith, 1 skill up. Woah. Next 3 nagas for Enchilads, 2 skill up. Woah. Then 3 yellow poring for valk, 1 skill up. Then 1 green poring for cu, 1 skill up. I was like wtf?
After that I haven't gotten a skill since. So about 5 blue poring, 3 green poring, 3 yellow poring, a bunch of slimes, 2 ghost, 5 msk, 3 mlk.
Sure, Mono Black Seraphim of Dawn Lucifer
Edit: Look on the bottom of this page for team suggestions: http://puzzledragonx.com/en/mission.asp?m=264
Thanks nicoga3000 for posting this strategy (and raiot for posting a link explaining the strategy). Finally managed to catch a Hera using this method without using a stone. Definitely the easiest of the strategies I've seen using farmable monsters (and a friend's Awoken Odin) since it allows for you to make a healing mistake or run into bad luck with hearts against Hera and Venus and not get instantly killed.

This would be our first collaboration right? How exactly do these work?So I guess I need to download Clash of Clans?
Ugh..do not want ugly characters in my pazudora.

If a Clash of Clans collab means more exposure for the Western market, that's good. I don't think we'd need to actually download Clash of Clans, though. Don't the collabs just mean we get Clash of Clans themed monsters/dungeons in PAD?
Like an idiot I decided to take on Hera dungeon with Lucifer as a leader, Moondragon D'spinas, two rainbow keepers and another Seraphim Lucifer as a support. I went in armed with the knowledge that I will be spending my saved stones on this battle because I really want another high caliber monster in my team aside from Lucifer. 8 stones and 1 hour later I finally reach Hera. I was confident that with 5 stones left I will be able to take her out bit by bit. But the sheer damage output from her single attack was too much for my team to handle. 5 minutes later I was out of all stones and she was still sitting pretty with 3/5ths of her health. For a moment I considered spending actual money in order to defeat Hera by sheer attrition. But my better senses prevailed and I stopped myself from going down the dark path of spending 10-20 bucks just to defeat a single monster.
I should have stopped myself from wasting all those stones the moment I lost the battle during fourth wave. But I am also taking solace in the fact that all the roles I have had during Godfests have been craps and those stones would have been wasted on cashing in crap monsters anyways.
Back to grinding and slowly leveling up my current team.

That was a good call, man. You won't need Hera any time soon, and by the time it comes around again, you'll be stronger, have more stones to work with, and be able to use today's experience to build a more efficient team.
It really depends on your needs. Light or Dark are nice because of the no resist to their attack. Other than that, you should look at what damage reduction you might need. Their leader skills are useful. Do you have any toy dragons or other damage reducers?
Which level on Tomb of the Saint are you having problems with?

Not necessarily a special rare gacha; Japan only ever got those for FFCD and Evangelion.
It does mean that we'll likely get a dungeon that drops monsters which skill up Gods or otherwise rare monsters, though.
No to the both of your questions, my two teams are:
Leader: ADK, aurora dragon, holy dragon, moondragon d'spinas, volcano dragon.
Leader: Lucifer, Rainbow Keeper, dub-mythlit, moondragon d'spinas and dub-amelit. (high hp for some random dungeons)
Other decent monsters: Pyro Demon, Vampire (evolving today), Siren (will evolve today).
and I'm having issues with the first level. I just can't outheal the damage the bosses put out on the last floor. Trying to get to ocean of heaven to get a mystic mask, last part for Lunar Moondragon.

Wut wut?!! We're having a Ninja event, now? Totally unexpected, even though people have been asking for one. Man. I don't know if I should pull or not. I already have Fuma and Hanzo as random pulls during god fests, but I don't know if it's worth pulling for the others outside of a god fest, especially if there's no way to currently skill them up.
Even if you get to ocean of heaven you might have problems farming it. The boss on the first level attacks for 46k and has 510k HP. I'd say the best chance for you to get that mask is wednesday dungeon, even if it is frustrating. You should definitely farm Dark Night Sword today for a knight if you plan on running mono dark. Maybe some more dub-mythlits if you have low Team Cost
Any chance the Clash of Clans collab dungeon will give skill up for ninjas?
Don't do it. You don't wanna know how many times I pulled just to get Hanzo.

Well the toys are getting a busty in 5.3, although we don't know how good those dual-types are going to be. The simpler explanation is GungTrolled
Wonder if the Clash of Clans collab is new thread-worthy.

Where did you see that? (edit: Ah I see. And this is a complete troll event - Ninjas and toy dragons? REALLY? Do we really need more toy dragons? We're all gonna pull dralls like crazy
)I have Hanzo and Sasuke, but as far as I know the only 2 truly useful ninjas are Hanzo and Fuma?
I mean Sasuke is nice and he essentially replaces a Parvati -> CuChu combo... You can get rid of hearts with an Artemis, so if you have Artemis + Sasuke + Michael you can get all green board in one swoop (except Artemis' CD is horribly slow lol). If you pair that with a Freyja and a Susano you have a pretty good team, but the problem is Parvati is still top tier with her stats.

mother of god...what have they done
I second that wholeheartedly. lol What the hell!?
Oh I see so instead of getting an element featured in the REM we're getting Ninjas and Toy Dragons. I'd consider pulling for a godfest with Ninjas but not the random weekly "increased" events we get each week.

Managed 2 Hera kills yesterday. Feels good. Got my A Odin to 39 from green goodies! Now to waste stones to get my Heras leveled from metal dragons!
I did consider farming CDK drops to skill my CDK up...But I don't know if it's worth it. Is he a staple on any farm teams?

2x 0 is still 0!
agreed...it's been discussed before. Same with everything, really. Godfest are what, 2x or 3x increase drop rates? Well 2x 1% is 2%....while Riders/ToyDragons/Golems/ are around a whole lot higher.
It'd be curious to know what their actual numbers are.
Dark/Green 2x ADK teams. So hard to get drops in those dungeons though.

Yeah, but I have stones to blow. Or I could just save or the next Godfest. Heh.
So I guess I need to download Clash of Clans?
No clue how I feel about this. I'm excited to get more dungeons and especially collaborative ones but Clash of clans? Really? Could be worse, could be angry birds.
Hoping they come up with some better collabs in the future for US. FF would have been awesome.
