Wow, does this really work? I need to try the expert when I get home. I need a blue mask for evolving my siren. I was going to go with the siren for healing, and Green Odin as a helper.

Yeah, resolve teams are clutch. I'd love to get the update where we can build a few teams and save them. I love resolve play, I just hate building it from my monster box, haha.

No, either a blue ogre or a viper, the last spot is siren!
And I have a viper, here is my ID: 317.248.206

And the other 4 must be those water spirits?

Your team is maxed out. I cant remember my iPad ID, but I have both of mine in the spreadsheet (one is ADK and one is Amu)

I opened up 2 additional slots.
Your team should look like this: Siren, 4 x blue (Sprite, Mask), Viper Orochi/Blue Ogre
I did it today with Viper, Sprite, Sprite, Small Mask, Medium Mask, Siren.
Its ESSENTIAL that all are blue or it gets even more lucky!

Haha. Your already a friend on my Droid. I will have to make sure you are there on my iPad when I get home!

Good thing I have a Siren on my pad, not sure about the other. I may have masks I think. Hopefully enough blue.

What about if you do not have a viper or Siren? With my cell I have neither of those and you can only run with one friend.

Green Dragon at 60. 10 more levels until I can FINALLY have a ripper on my team. Then I need to get the other 3 I have up. :| Also, I need to farm that stupid Lil' Blue Dragon, but I've never even SEEN him.

You have to use an ogre and a friend siren... If you have an alraune friend, you can also make an all green team!
Although your chances are not as good as with a viper and its delay skill.

I tried that the last two days with Amu team (for now on I will call them my Amu or ADK. LOL)

I have zero luck, probably 30 runs at this point. I need the white/blue/red lil' dragons. I have the black and green. Starter Red and toy green. I am thinking the only way I am going to get real firepower on my Amu team is to do this.

Of course, I would love to upgrade my Amu at some point :( Costs so much XP!

Holy shit, just did the Mask dungeon once, and the Demeter Forest dungeon like 9-10 times and finally got a damn green mask. I just need to max out my Mystic Stone Knight and then I can evolve him.
 
UGH.... how's this for crappy luck. I just did an expert mask run where I got no masks to drop at all. lol All I want is a green divine mask so I can get my ADK finally.

Dude, I am also trying to evolve my ADK, I have the green divine mask but I need the rainbow mask.

Waiting the 4..5 hours for each run is torture.

also, is round four always against three divine masks set to attack the same turn? I have never had it pop otherwise, and it always freaks me out.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Totally gonna try that cheap team. Does resolve work if two monsters hit at the same time too, though?

No - resolve calc takes place for EACH hit. If you are hit with a 70% resolve twice, the first hit bringing you to 40% health, and the second killing you, you are done.

So... The cheapshot team only works if you're able to take all of them, or all but 1 out that are on the same timer... Got it, thx.
 
Ouch, so with that team, if you have 2 masks on the same timer .... how do you survive?

Hope for good gems, 5 turns is enough time to kill a divine mask, they only have 18 HP, so that is four turns with five hits, or three turns with all hit. Very duoable with two masks on the same timer.

If three pop with the same timer, then Orochi or Succubus are your friends.

Since masks [basically] only take one damage per hit, you need to manually target one mask and go bananas.

E: My resolve team is a fire resolve. I bring Titan leader, healer sub, Naga, Echidna, Lilith, red/purple filler.
 
Fuck the mask dungeon. I've tried 2 weeks in a row now with a resolve team and never beat it. Both times already today I've got 3 masks on the same timer.

The only way I can clear the mask dungeon is with a Shiva. Even then, it can get a bit sketchy as I sometimes clear the first two levels before powering up.

Only have one Shiva as a friend (and another one that puts him up sporadically). So, I don't always get as many go's at the dungeon as I would like.
 
So, with that all blue resolve team, I am guessing the 1st stage ogre is preferred over the 2nd stage because of the hp? I am curious to try it but I have evolved my ogre and I don't have the blue glow worms. It will also eat into my open box spaces a bit. I'm also not sure I need anything just yet from the Wed/Thur dungeons so note to self - remember this strategy.

It really won't matter. Masks hit so hard that the HP difference there won't make a huge difference.

The HP difference for the hit won't, but for the heal it will. The more HP, the better your healer needs to be to get you above 70% ;)

HAH! I'm laughing because I'm 0/4 on mask runs today looking for the Green Divine Mask. I spent like 2 days straight of just farming the wood tech dungeons too and never got one to drop. I did get another mystic mask that will go to my chaos dragon knight once I max him. Goodluck with your hunt, hopefully we both will get what we want today.

Are we friends? Have my Shiva up right now, been going back and forth between Ammy but I'll put him up here and there today to help people out.

Level 49, missed the level up to 50 (wohoo) by....... 50 exp. now i'm out of stamina. Rofl.
 
how does a Shiva team work? I understand that it removes defense, so the masks die very easily, but how does that protect against the hits while it is charging?

Or do you take hits during the first round, charge shiva, succubus, orochi, and just match hearts?

that's what you're supposed to do but i'm completely failing at it, second straight attempt i've accidentally killed the first round stuff before my charge was ready Xo.

Nope, I keep meaning to send you a PM with my ID. I'll do it when I get home.

No, you need to whittle the masks down to one enemy in the first round. Then keep healing up as the rounds pass (but don't kill the enemy). It helps if you have a pet that can orb change to health orbs. Those masks in the first round can still hit with pretty good damage.

The problem is that you can sometimes kill all the enemies with AOE attacks during the 'whittling down' process. Even if you are just targeting one mask.

Yeah, that's it. It's easier if you have all of the same color team (or as close to it as you can get), so it's easier to make matches that do no damage the first round. I also bring a lilith just in case shit goes bad.

By"first round", do you guys mean everything before the final boss or what?

Same here. I bring Ammy - Shiva - Lilith - Succubus - Echidna - Viper Orochi. Poisons charge up way earlier than Shiva in case I screw up on the first round.

First encounter. 1/5

Gonna farm Succubus in Twin Temple Diana while it is drop rate x2 instead of masks this week. Hopefully I get lucky!

(SNIP)MONSTER LIST (SNIP)

A good rule of thumb is that anything "Dragon" is a keeper, or an easily identifiable evo material (emerald, ruby, metal, gold, sapphire...)

Beyond that you are on your way with the Succubus, Angel and the Dryad (Succubus's last evo material is dark keeper). Angel and Dryad kind of have the same nitch, but they would be nice to have depending on what the rest of your monster team is.

The demons/devils are low level attackers, I personally focus on one of them to get it to skill up. Their low health means that they may be used in resolve teams but not many other places.

The golems/gaurdians/mech warrior are great for HP and damage control. use as needed depending on color.

The technique knights? I can not find a use for them personally so they might be good evo fodder. feed them into low level carbuncles (or Pendras) and then those into whatever you are leveling.


6 Sm Blue Masks Can I use these in place of the glow worms for the resolve team?

Yes, 10 hp works for keeping hp down, but they have 70 less RCV, so that is more recover that you need from the healer leader.

Also you are floating way to many small masks, those are very easy to obtain and you really don't need that many at one time.
 
Thanks zippedinhead, that is exactly the input I was looking for. Further questions:

- Where do you get the dark keeper? (if it is in the OP I can check there)
- My team right now is Tyrannos (leader), Ice Ogre, Wood Mech Warrior Asgard, Angel, and D'Spinas. I am rank 33 and the team runs 44/45 points. Any obvious replacements?
- I started keeping more monsters of each color in case I wanted to do a one color team. Is there a particular color that works best for?
 
Out of stamina for awhile (or at least enough to run Flame Mech), so my Ice Mechdragon is available for anyone that needs him. ID is 391,033,291
 
Took me 6 tries to get that stupid mystic mask but i finally got it. What a shitty dungeon. It seems like no strategey except 2 liliths is guaranteed 100% to make sure you cannot get into an unwinnable situation

Edit. Actually shiva, echidna, lilith or somethimg would work. But basically you need 2 or 3 "oh shit" buttons in the worst case scenario

Echidna/naga delay is pretty useful yeah,I don't think I can run it without the cheapshot team though,I get destroyed even before the final boss if I use a"normal" team, even with Shiva as helper, side I can't use their skill until the boss...

3- I started keeping more monsters of each color in case I wanted to do a one color team. Is there a particular color that works best for?

1- Dark Keeper is from the Keeper Tuesday dungeons (randomly appears in the Water, Wood and Fire Dungeons, 50% chance of appearance in rainbow)

2 - No sense having Tyrannos be your leader if you do not have a red in your group. Switch D'Spinas with Tyrannos and switch out the Ice ogre for Succubus (poison skill and 1.5x attack for multiple monsters). Poison is Incredibly useful,

3 - not really, but you need to focus on one color first, I recommend Black because Succubus is very useful (and you have one) and you can leader up with a vampire Lord for even more attack up.
