my first maxed mob!
and it's one i don't use! ahahaha
astaroth
On a side note I've got plenty of mobs in the 80+ range, like ares, hera, hera-is, etc
oh well now next I guess it's valk//cuchulain/sieg/horus/ra
If only I find a second delay (orochi, hopefully during player's choice godfest) so i can fix the ra team..

Names of the Hero Gods
From left: Yamato Takeru, Andromeda, Perseus, Sun Wukong(Son Goku), Pandora.
Might have misspelled some.
Here's the break down of all the new gods. Their leader skill is x4 if you match 8 orbs of their color together (as in they all have to connect, so no 4+4 or 5+3 somewhere else on the board).
Red : Yamato Takeru
AS: Change Wood to Fire, Dark to Heal
LS: Match 8 or more Fire orb at the same time, Attack 4x
Blue : Andromeda
AS: Change Fire to Water, Light to Heal
LS: Match 8 or more Water orb at the same time, Attack 4x
Green : Perseus
AS: Change Water to Wood, Fire to Heal
LS: Match 8 or more Wood orb at the same time, Attack 4x
Light : Son Goku
AS: Change Water to Light, Dark to Heal
LS: Match 8 or more Light orb at the same time, Attack 4x
Dark : Pandora
AS: Change Wood to Dark, Light to Heal
LS: Match 8 or more Dark orb at the same time, Attack 4x
Also the Light Noel Dragon:

Beat the Rainbow dungeon for the first time,twice. Was surprisingly very very easy,never came close to dying. I did it with my regular dark team with Odin,no autohealer. Second time I swapped out one of my dark characters with my Odin and used an Odin friend and just single matched orbs against the Keeper. Beat both in under 20 minutes. Just need to run it a few more times for the purple keeper (got 2 rainbow keeper drops in a row).
Let me fix that for you Gungho:
Leader Skill: these gods are useless, do not roll when they come around. If you do happen to catch one, maybe use them for active skill/stat stick.
I was going to say. I guess since they did something to the REM to make it drop less of the 3 star crap they had to add in shitty monsters that nobody wants to take their place? lol Who would want these?

I'll give them a week before they get buffed to become usable.

not sure how much I like these new leads. They seem really unstable-you'd have to lopside your teams with orbchangers for reliable damage, gutting their utility. You wind up restricting a large part of your board as well.
Not a fan, but nice to have new heroes. Also think the Perseus art is bleh.

They look like active whores. Their leader skills are absolutely worthless.
Wow those leader skills are completely useless.
How often do you see 8 orbs of the same color on the board? Now think about it can only be a specific color. This is a harder condition to activate than Ra.
You have to use orb changers actives to activate this.
So for a team like this you'd probably have to go something like
Goku, Max Awoken Skilled Valk, Max Awoken Skilled Valk, Max Awoken Skilled Verche, Max Awoken Skilled Verche, Goku.

These gods are just very disappointing in their current state. They can be used as orb changers subs but that burst really isn't an amazing skill and don't we have enough of those already? The only orb changers I use are the heart breakers that are on 5 turn CD. Having to wait 13 turns basically lets you use this slight burst one or two times a run which isn't all that helpful.
I'm sure once these guys get busty evolutions there might be some use for them but as they are now they seem completely useless.
I like the Perseus artwork. The original Clash of the Titans was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
Yeah, he's the best guy.
Goku & Fire dude look bad

It makes me wonder if instead of a bad version of the starter dragon skills they'll have a bad version of the toy dragon skills.

I actually like the Son Goku and Pandora art. Not a fan of the rest.

as long as they still give 1.5mil xp when maxed....i'm ok with this.
With the counter and ball skills getting orb changing added to it as a secondary effect, it is possible to make these guys work, but it's way too much effort for just a x4 multiplier (if it was 5 or 6 it would be more reasonable).
I'm always conflicted with these monsters. Do I give myself a new 4x HP 4x Rcv mono colored team option for that rare occasion a dungeon comes around where it's easy to 0 stone with one of a certain color, or do I take the XP and save myself grinding time?
With the scarcity of Light XP, I'm probably going to take the very nearsighted decision of saving myself some grief and just burning the Noel for XP. But I do think that keeping it for a 4/1/4 light team is probably the correct decision in the long run, if just because 4/1/4 grind teams tend to be able to attempt the newest and hardest Descended because they can survive just about anything.
The real problem with these new mobs is that they won't have the same burst damage as a normal 4x mob. Having to match 8 of the same color all together is going to severely limit your total combo # per match and the total damage overall. Plus it's going to be extremely hard to do this every turn. Really awful awful leader skills.

I'm lucky enough to have pulled a Raphael (still never used him) so my decision is pretty easy. But I'm hoping this opens up my friend list with partners for that team.

Frankly if you have other 2/2 leads you can just feed them for exp..

If only I had as much +HP to invest.
I got 2 Tamadras in the last 2 days from pal pulls making a total of 22 so far.
1 free from Tamadra dungeon
2 from pal pulls
19 from metal/jewel/gold dragons
I have max awakened GOdin, Rose Valkyrie, Satan, Haku, and Loki so far and I'm working on Dark Metatron and my new Cosmos Venus.
Thanks !
I guess I'm on the wrong side of the smartphone wars.
My andro is sad... edited my post
Well it sort of has, still not available in several EU countries
This game really does have a tendency to know what you're after at any given time.
I've needed a Keeper of the Dark to evolve my Hades for the past week. I used up all of my stamina last Tuesday and got nothing but Keeper of the Light, and so far today the same is happening. It really is frustrating, especially since I need Hades evolved for Heroes Descended tomorrow. ~_~
I don't want to use any Magic Stones, but if this keeps up I'll have little choice. It doesn't help that the Tuesday dungeon is extremely tedious, considering I don't have a FA Lucifer for myself.
Ugh.

Been going donuts on DKS too. First four MDKs gave no skillups, then zero drops after burning an entire bar of stamina after a levelup.
I think I've gained one skillup total across both accounts this entire event, actually...

...so Horus get all his RCV taken away? ouch That's a pretty big hit. Fire is pretty scarce on RCV as it is

Why on earth would you gut Isis' RCV? Her active in that form is even worse than it is now, which is something I couldn't believe possible.
Those Horus changes are equally rough but at least it you aren't spending twinlits to nerf your god.

And it looks like the "conflict" with the Noel Dragons has been solved thanks to the upcoming Fruit Dragons. In addition to 9 Awoken skills, all five have x2 HP and x2 RCV as their leader skill for their respective element (their active skill is 3000 HP recovery and changing the element they are strong against to hearts). Goodbye Noels.
Noels specifically for EXP then. Awesome GungHo!
