confirmed gone. I'm assuming we'll get a stone or two to compensate. More Pengdra Village fuel!

I need to get around to evo'ing him. He's just a little low on the Wood totem poll behind Dios, Asty, and a few others.
Dios is getting beastly. Does anyone run with him as a lead? Seems in between running with Zeus (full health) or Geomon (< 20%)

No official word on why the dark knight dungeon isn't up? Eh
Yeah that is where I looked but I could have sworn when I woke up early this morning 4 was scheduled.
Is Dark Night Sword coming back?

You know what will be a dick move? If they give a us a comp stone tomorrow so we can can't use it on Pengdra Village / Plants today.

Is there a point to keeping multiple Berserk/Highlanders? Got a few extra porings on my JP account that I'd rather sacrifice for box space.
Ehh. Dark Night Sword's not even a serious loss.
If anyone wanted one, Mystic Knights are available in Castle of Satan and the Technical CoSitA, so it's not like there haven't been dark mystics going on all week.
Between the knights and pengdra drops from CoSitA, I would wager that it's actually better to run those than DNS. I don't feel like the invasion rate is that bad either, especially compared against the terrible drop rates from all of the knight dungeons.

I have two of each because I had so many porings that I didn't want to waste.
I originally was planning to use them as awoken material but that ended with the eggdra was announced and I calculated how ridiculesly pricey it was to fully evolve a berserk and highlander (2 million exp, plus a ton of hard to get evolve mats)

Porings fuse for 15k xp a pop to same color...Hardly a waste by any stretch.

Works for me. What's the appearance schedule for them today? Guess I'll be farming ice and dark knights.
This is exactly why I won't be rolling. Every GodFest is also paired with whatever Carnival is going on. So if they stacked the voter poll with a GodFest some really highly coveted monsters might come out with decent luck. Kind of a shitty move by Gungho.
I was just thinking about that scenario this morning. I've never had that happen. I've gotten the 4 plant, and had 2 fruit invasion. But never the 4 plant 1 fruit scenario, that is indeed perfection.

I need to evo my Chu. Just did Bowmore Legend with Freyja/Chu lead. What a JOKE.

I can, if you want. I usually don't because no one else does. Just let me know.
Also, Top Droiddragon is bar none the best looking monster in the game. In case you guys aren't familiar with it, the two diamonds next to him are Google Play's icons for "Editor's Choice" and "Top Developer." I love how those are in there, just because (love the search bar, too).

The Japanese translation of the active is pretty clever. It's literally pronounced "Google" but is written like a Japanese verb. Dat wordplay.
So what you're saying is that our Active should have been called "LMGTFY".
You never know if they will get buffed with a new busty/ultimate evolution, or if there's a new dungeon with circumstances that favor those monsters. If it's not available for farm elsewhere, I suggest just spending some stones to increase capacity to keep everything.

As a recent example, just look at all the people who regretted binning their Droiddragons when his busty was announced because he used to be complete garbage. Luckily we got a second chance to obtain one.

This.
Having box space is amazing. But it's also a curse. I am CONSTANTLY at 600/600. I have 30-40 of each dragon (except ruby because I used them all), so anytime plant day comes, I can usually get 15-20 evolved pengdras for food. I also have somewhere around 175 GOOD monsters. While not all of them get used, I have pulled random monsters out for a specific use.
Good example - Bowmore. I had a level 1 King Woodsie, but I knew I needed more firepower. So, I grabbed him, bumped him up to 48, and viola! Green/Balance team capable of farming Legend! I never really thought I'd get much use out of him, but turns out he was a game changer.
The real challenge are the dragons. Dear lord...I just counted - I have 34 dragons (on the low side...Not counting some of the unevolved ones I have sitting around). They're almost exclusively trophy monsters.
Yep. My fiancé got rid of him because he was useless, and I already kept mine because I'm a hoarder.

I use them....during the conditional dungeons when I didn't have enough fire monsters with a 2nd element.
After that...they're not even nice looking enough to be trophies.
Dragon Riders may not be useful now, but we don't know when Gungho will introduce an ultimate evolution to them (which is what happened with the Android Dragon). You should just assume any monster in this game that doesn't have an ultimate evolution, will get one at some point and could possibly be made useful.
If you are really tempted to get rid of trophy/unused monsters and don't want to spend stones on space, then start by getting rid of monsters you can get back in case they do get ultimate evolutions later that you would want. The Dragons are at the top of this list since you just have to wait for their dungeons to show up. After that, you can get rid of monsters that drop/can be farmed/have dungeons you can get them.

How good is the light metatron?
Dragon riders go really well with Ultimate Evo Indra. With Indra as a leader and ADK as helper, you can build a really nice team for farming many of the dungeons.

Near useless active skill but has a decent leader skill. She'll become pretty damn useful when 6.0 awoken skills hit too.
So, this game popped up on my radar after listening to the Cruncheons rant about how they should be given $5 gift cards at work so that they can "feed the dragon." It's been a slow summer for me game-wise so I downloaded it to see what was up on Sunday.
...it's now Thursday and I'm $30 in the hole, thus confirming my status as a IAP dirt person =(. Got a decent dark team for my pain, at least: Thanataos/Dark Golem II/Chaos Dragon Knight, a Succubus in the tutorial REM roll and a Persephone I can't use yet because I don't have a high enough team cost. Burned two rolls on the Pink machine before I realized the drops were poop from a butt, though.
Stealth bragging aside, is there a "rule of thumb" for when to start taking on some of the advanced Special/Technical dungeons? I'm 34 and recently cleared Castle of Satan, so I'm wary of burning stamina on getting curbstomped even though I already have a decently formed team through IAP.

Yeah, I got my Zeus and Satan with Marine Rider. The Grass/Blue typing allows you to build a variety of teams with Horus/Ra/Kirin (notably adding extra gravity users), the active skill is decent, and the 1500+ attack is awesome, especially for attacker/devil teams.
It's an amazing site that lists each dungeon and what the monsters' stats are, so you can game plan before wasting stamina.

Dang, lessons dished out tonight haha.
NEVER roll outside of godfest.
Sounds good. I rolled Odin and Artemis last godfest so I am a believer.
I'm actually already using it to max out my stamina use. My only concern is that right now I only have one X->dark color changer without friend monsters, and while I've been able to mostly tank through most dungeons thanks to Thanatos x2.5 HP bonus I'm worried about getting luck boned against monsters that hit for 5k each turn. Trying to grind out a Vampire in Castle of Satan, but so far I've only seen two and gotten no drops so this might take a while.
Oh yeah, haven't used my level 20 present yet so if anyone wants to swap PM me.
Have you done the puzzdroid dungeon "mysterious visitors" yet? Level up and evolve puzzdroid to his final form. With his skill the friday dungeon will be a cakewalk. Meanwhile, get a shiva friend and run this dungeon if you need Dub topalit and amelit ASAP.
I have not but ill do it as soon as I get 10 stamina back. I'll also check for to she if I have a shiva in my friends list.
edit: I see reduce defense and carry over and with the dublits low hp it should be easy to carry over. my I'd is 372,665 269 if anyone has a shiva otherwise it can wait till next week.
