I'm starting to play the catch 'em all game, keeping at least one of each fully evolved enemy in case I need them in the future for some reason. I was throwing so much away, golems, which I had no idea could be evolved into 5* warriors, the harpy demons which are used for Hera etc. So I've started playing the Pokemon game at this point. Going to work on multiple dual color evolutions where I can as well, like with the ogres.
Seeing my monster box getting more and more unique monsters is fulfilling. This was brought on by getting the fire golem after pulling the Water Mech Warrior Midgard. It also gives me something more simple to work toward when I can't work on evolving gods and such.
I currently have 77 monsters that are unique (not duplicates or lesser/greater evolutions of each other) in my favs.

I didn't play during the beginning.
The special dungeon when I started was the dark sky dragon and light sky dragon.
What special dungeons did I miss before hand. I'm guessing I missed red, blue and green sky dragons since the game goes
red -> blue -> green -> light -> dark.
Did I miss another set of special dungeons?
I wish for an easy to get little dragon dungeon soon.

LOL that's brutal. Well, that makes me save some stamina, not bad! Emerald Dragons all day it is.

I'm pretty sure there's no way I can clear the technical variant. Expert takes long enough...Technical would be misery.

If you mean a divine gold mask, then your only options are Wednesday dungeon and Light element technical dungeons (order is wood > ice > fire > light > dark)
Oooph! I am not sure I can get to the light dungeon with this team. I am working on the 3rd level of the ice and died once already!
This might be completely non-news for you guys, but I JUST NOW realized that to get the AoE attack, the 5 matched orbs, they don't have to be in a row, they can also be at an angle. MIND BLOWN.
like this:
O O O
X X O
X X O
also results in an AoE.
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THIS EARLIER. Would've saved me so much trouble, because I always tried to make straight lines and top-down straight lines can't be moved around as they block the whole way. DAMN.

Yeah I use that often, because there's often the setup of only the corner missing. I also do this occasionally when feeling lazy.

well MY mind was blown. Played this game for a while now but NEVER noticed it. I feel pretty stupid right now.
I think it's just part of the game. Ah hah! moments and gradual skill increase. When I first started I would move orbs one at a time to set up a mass attack, and always in a straight line...now tell me that isn't stupid.
Now within a few seconds I can spot how to set one up and whether the line, corner or T shape is quickest/most efficient and/or will let me make the most other combos on the way to setting it up. It's rare I'm not making at least 3 combos per turn and only in very tight situations that I stare at the board longer than 5-10 seconds without making my move. I've seen videos of Japanese players being VERY quick and very good with combos with only taking a few seconds to think about it, it just takes a lot of practice and it will become second nature.
But yeah, major realizations like this are game changers.

Two flame resistors as leader + Siren + 2 Rainbow Keeper/Mech golem + Water monster with a nuke would be ideal. The dragon can charge up its attack and hit for nearly 32000 damage (about 8000 with two flame resists). It has another attack which it uses at about 40% health and that does about 29000 damage. It doesn't need to be charged up so it'll hit without warning. When that move does hit, make sure to activate defensive stance for its next move. When I attempted master, it hit me with that move twice in a row so you have to make sure your health is topped up. If you have a team composition like I mentioned, I would feel comfortable with at least 10,000 health.
Thanks. I think I can give it a shot. Wish I had an aurora dragon, but my Pellie will have to do.
Minerva as leader + Lakshmi + two water dragons + Succubus + healer as leader (preferably siren). The last boss has really high defense but only 70 hp. With poison, your succubus will take it down in one turn.
I have a Siren with a maxed out skill if you need one. She can switch orbs every 5 rounds.

Thanks guys. I just successfully completed that level and I added you as well Toxic
hmmmm don't look like I'm getting that flame mech dragon
Same here.
Been working on it all day.
Wife out of the house. Junk food and beer. TV on.
Basically been going Dragons of tower until I have 25 stamina then Mech dragon expert level
repeat. Allows me not to worry about stamina plus get a bunch of dragon plants since I had horrible luck thursday.
Did it 8 time today, nothing. No healer girl no boss drop.
Stopping for today as wife coming home soon.
Hopefully tomorrow has the double drop.

I've gotten nothing of value to drop from the fire mech dungeon except for tyrants. But I had a great run in the emerald dragon dungeon. Got a king and two highs. Combined with a couple of pengdras on my ADK.
Best part was the "great" fusion bonus when it happened. Dude jumped almost 20 levels.
Still should have one more flamemech run today, unless I rank up

I don't understand combos. How do you spot them? Also I need friends to add.

Honestly? Time and practice. Since you have complete control of all orbs on the board, as long as you have matches, you can drag to creat combos. Many will happen on accident, too.

Look for groups of "almost matches" on the board. There are some very common patterns in the OP of the thread, along with a diagram indicating where to start, and how to drag to line them up. At any given point there's probably at least 5 or 6 "near" matches on the board. Now instead of picking up one the one stone that's out of place and moving it to the correct place, make the match by using another stone to drag "through" it which will displace the out of place stone and put it in the correct place. With multiple near matches on the board, you can take this starting stone that you're dragging and line up multiple groups of stones at once, and when you finally let go of the initial stone, you'll have a big combo

Wait, did I miss the green evo dragons dungeon? with the king/high/regular green things? To evo Pengdras?
DANGIT!

You still have a chance if you are group A or B
Alright, I'm starting to like this game. I think I'll be onboard for this longer than I was for Fantasica (which I only played for the artwork). I'm starting to really get a hang of combos and can chain without just relying on luck now, lol. My ID is 392,723,208 if you don't already have a full friends list.
Hey xelios, would you mind putting your Amu up for a bit, so I can take a run at Flame Mecha expert? :x Or anyone else with a healer... like a Siren would probably be perfect too. I have to wait until next week to evolve mine
EDIT: Nvm saw raiod has his evolved siren up, I'll use that in the meantime!

If you had a damage reducer, you dont need a healer at all

Is there anything special about gold dragons? I know the OP mentions metal dragons.
Metal Dragons usually happen like twice a week, Gold Dragons only like once a month...

Flame Mechdragon normal is getting drop x2 today at noon PST
Try building a team around a dragon and grab a healer friend.
Where does it say that :O, I,ll hold off if its true.
And don't forget the cross which happens quite often.

On the other extremely depressing side note. I am nearing (and trust me when I'm not exaggerating) 100 runs at mermaid forest and still no siren drop. I really don't know how some of you guys wind up with 80 eggs or a ton of these super rares from farming dungeons but this game is purely dumb luck. I knew forcing the rare pulls was going to be a big part of this game but it's getting to the point of ridiculous and taking away from the enjoyment. I don't mind farming for something if there is a legit chance I'll get it, this is just a joke. I have two level 50 accounts now and have only ever seen 1 end boss drop. What am I doing differently or wrong?
