Now that we have awakenings, GOdin/Amaterasu teams also work for Zeus.

I have a max lvl max awoken godin but i dont really want to grind it out for hours, especially since I am trying to farm zeus for skill ups. I am getting a bit closer to a stable team though, it seems like satan/vamp/king baddie/cerebus/wicked lady/satan will work if i get somewhat lucky with the orb drops. I can probably make it more stable if i had a persephone instead of wicked lady, skilled up king bubblie, and a dark blue vamp instead of the blue dark one. Also, i need to calculate damage better so i dont over kill the masks on round 2.

 

[witchedwiz]

Now that i know how to go for each floor i'm doing a new run..
Start time 12:43, Now i'm starting floor 5..
Might go a bit faster than 40 mins this time!

 

[J0dy77]

Don't have a lucifer or a haku, which sucks because they seem to be the basis for most zeus farm teams. I am experimenting with satan teams, but I lack the orb changers to really make him work. I either stall out on round 4 or fail to kill zeus round 5.

I was waiting for a level up today but I'm going to try and Queen Hera farm team. With a big Barrie I should be ae to one shot Zeus and hopefully I can stall on the chimeras round 1 if I can control damage.

As for the Hello kitty drops, any of them worth keeping. Looks like a lot of fruit dragon skillups that we don't have yet. The dj looks pretty terrible.

 

[witchedwiz]

12:43 to 01:23..
Again 40 mins mark..
0 stoned again, but i think pumping more levels into echidna or dj will speed things a bit...

 

[MightGoThere]

Motherfucker I was so close. Screwed up with one Chimera left. Man this is so much fun!

The rare invade is a decent substitute for I&I, that's it.

Wait, what team?

I'm not looking for skill ups just max awokenings so I can Ult Evo it.

 

[Jagernaut]

Wait, what team?

I'm not looking for skill ups just max awokenings so I can Ult Evo it.

Amaterasu - max awakened, over 1011 rcv
2 gravities
Lucifer
Nuke dragon
Odin - max awakened

You need a Lucifer sub or something to help take out one chimera immediately. When you get to Zeus, you can't be killed until Zeus does his big attack below 20% hp.

The only correct answer is king slimes, benefits everyone. Forget about skill up monsters.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Nope, only things available in the "base" game.

I got my twitter client doing search on the keywords (but not collecting them cause I don't know how to do a twitter bot) and a few trends are already present:
- now that all Chasers are up for voting, votes are being split between them with Purple Chaser (Haku) having a slight lead
- the Pirates are also having split votes
- Hamahime, who skills up Hanzo, has a slight mode
- King Shynee is also a contender
- rip Mystic Ice Knight

 

[Tobe]

i would probably vote for haku and hanzo.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Some people are also attempting to vote "all chasers", which while an invalid vote I actually would not mind.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Don't king slimes just drop big slimes? They actually do show up in Tengu's dungeon, and they definitely don't drop as kings.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Right, but the difference is that if King Shynee won they would definitely drop completely evolved in the dungeon.

I approve of both these posts.

 

[Genji]

Long day at work, so decided to play some PAD to relax. Ended up attempting Zeus and wiping the masks on stage 2 during the first turn, leading to a horrible death on stage 4. Next time I'll get a nap in before trying a new dungeon

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Haku chaser or red chaser.

Followed by king slimes, though I can think of another way they would do slime dungeon.

King slimes would not drop evolved, but 1 level would always drop a random king dragon (going from metal to gold, equal rarity). Vastly prefer dropping evo'd BUT I could definitely get behind that option.

Still prefer Haku skill up though.

100% drop rate for kings on a survey dungeon? Sounds too good man.

 

[Musan]

I would go red or dark chaser, at least hanahime can be farmed in tengu at a 30% drop. I'm almost done with my King shynee, so that doesn't really appeal to me either.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

ok king and two smalls. guaranteed spawn but not drop. if all King slimes are in the same dungeon then randomize the color.

i just don't see them having the kings drop fully evolved. same with the chasers, Pretty sure they will not drop fully evolved for skill ups.

doesn't stop me from wanting Haku skill ups.

 

[xCobalt]

It seems like ever since the update, we haven't been able to see what the jewel dragons for the next day are. Not sure whether to save my stamina or spend it

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Minor Monster Strike segue (for lack of a better place to talk about it), I've been collecting discoveries and information about the game in this Google doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MIoyg9armWeXFy3A5JPyg7m0h7NSIzIor9pSv8odNOY/edit

Also to Limit, apparently you can fix Error Code -1 by switching from 3G to Wifi (or vice versa) and attempting the hotfix again.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Hmm ... All this talk about Chasers made me realize that Hello Kitty may be a good alternative to Flame Chaser. 4x ATK/RCV for Fire monsters instead of 4x ATK/HP for Physical. Fire already has decent HP but RCV was always a problem. I wonder if Hello Kitty would be better or worse than Flame Chaser for Tengu. Or you can combine them for 2/4/2 Physical. Hello Kitty would only get 1/2/2 though. But it might be a better balance of multipliers.

In fact, like the Batman collab, this Hello Kitty collab seems full of good monsters for low cost dungeons. Dual TAMADRApurin gives 12.25x ATK for only 10 cost. That qualifies for both Tengu and Draggie dungeons. Who cares about HP/RCV if you're stomping on everything. I'm considering pulling for a second Purin to keep unevolved.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

JP 6.4.1 out now; fixes the timezone bug and some iCloud backup bug.

Also there is a scarily non-negligible number of people voting for Failio on the Twitter survey.

Nooo, Fairlion already has multiple ways to skill up. Stop them.

shit with that you might aswell just sub in attackers with 1000+ atk. easy stomping

 

[linsivvi]

Some of us don't have Fairlio though.

 

[Totakeke]

Some of us don't have Fairlio though.

I could think of plenty other mobs to just get one copy of... while skilling up at the same time. The standard ~15% survey dungeon drop rate for fairlion would be pretty crappy for skilling him up considering the other options available.

 

[witchedwiz]

can't farlio be skilled via poring tower too?
i mean, cmon...

 

[WillJustWill]

Ahhh man, my phone froze and crapped up mid-update and now whenever I try to enter the game, it just seems to update over and over and I cannot play anymore. I'm thinking of making a backup (iPhone) and then deleting and re-installing the app, would anyone be able to tell me which files I need to make a copy of in iFunBox in order to do this? Losing my account now would be rather upsetting to say the least. :c

 

[Noirulus]

I did it, I fucked up Zeus! Took 6 stones, but so worth it. (Thank you free challenge mode stones!)

I used:

56 Lucifer (+22)
53 Awoken hera
53 Siren max skilled
61 Underlord Hades
RK
Max Lucifer (+144) [Thank you suko@GAF for the beast lucifer!]

Also, thanks for the advice on team building guys.

okkay bro you have

ASTAROTH TEAM READY
astaroth lead
amon sub
dj sub
herasub
herais sub (when you get her) place another devil atm, like busty hades (you just have to busty your hades)
lead friend --> lucifer//astaroth (i have max leveled evolved astaroth if you want)

LUCIFER TEAM
lucifer lead
vampire sub
hera sub
dj//echidna(depending) sub
yomi sub
lucifer friend

UMIYAMA TEAM.. kushinada team..
valk team...

you just have to decide two teams you want to pursue...
I'd say either valk or luci team for tanky descended...
1) if you are combo-cracking you can go with kushinadahime.. terrific spike lead with an active that lets you chain menace..
menace --> on the attacking turn from mob kushinada passive --> menace//orochi's active
2) or you can go with an umiyama team..

umiyama sample team
umiyama
yomi (change the world will make sure you WILL get the best combo ever i personally avoid this active as i'm good enough, but it CAN change your world, if you're not averaging 7 combo always)..
valk
adk (busty yours it's always better)
hera//herais --> in your case i think busty vampire is better since i doubt you've skilled hera/herais
and this will rock your world

or there are a lot of other feasible setups for umiyama...
so i'd say that your plateu is --> start using spike team seriously

Looks like I'm gonna need to do a lot of ranking up to be able to field some of those setups. And yeah, I should start focusing on building a good spike team, I've been keeping my spike setup on the down low because I'm not great at activating UmiYama, and Kushinada is not really useful for descends unless they're orb restricted or you can make 7+ combos consistently every turn.

UmiYama / D/L Hades / Yomi / Kushinada / Echidna
Astaroth / Hades / Hera / Drawn Joker / Amon
Raphael / Valk / Verche / Angelion / G.Odin

I don't feel your teams are the problem. Without too much deliberation, I saw these 3 teams and thought they are capable of clearing descends - I didn't even bother mentioning Lucifer. I would say you need to get both your levels up and your evolutions to their top levels. You have solid pieces and good teams already. Focus on the UmiYama team (since it includes Kushi, that's another lead you'll be leveling for additional teams) and one or both of the grind teams.

I hadn't considered my Asty team viable but I might have to start leveling up Amon/DJ and maybe even get another Hera to see how it'll work.

I did a 0 stone zeus with
max lvl asta (non skilled)
max level hera (non skilled)
max level hera-is (non skilled)
drawn joker 57 (5/7)
echidna 47ish (4-5 skill i can'0t remember)
max level asta friend

so yeah i'd say pretty viable..
your setup can be
max level asta
hera
hades as second gravity
echidna
then.. if you don't need another defensive cd, go with vampire, else go with dj
max level asta friend

if only there was a delay with devil type..
so i'd go with echidna.. you have one more "color", can be skilled, more rcv is always welcome
but if you really think you can go without, use dj instead of echidna and use in the fourth slot another devil stat stick or another counter..
but keep in mind that if we get the skillup dungeon, then you get 100% coverage counter with just 2 counter (asta&asta)

Yes, what I mean is a lot of people who voted for it probably wasn't thinking of skill up, but to get a copy of the monster. Those people probably run Valk as their main team.

data048.bin is the most important file to back up as it contains your login credentials. data056.bin used to contain monster book info but recently much of that has been moved serverside.

I am up for it. But I need at least two more people to commit their max skilled Echidnas. Rolling with three is the safest route for me in tackling highest tier dungeons.

 

[nicoga3000]

Putting my +90 Echidna up as well. I was going to through Shynee up, but I think Echidna is more useful.

 

[witchedwiz]

technically you can run with :
ares+freyr+gigas+3 echidnas
a lot of hp to tank through.. basic rcv is high enough you can go with naked 1xrcv..
you have good orb converting with gigas and ares+freyr combo for massive damage
3 echidna you can rotate :X
