How would I ever max skill this bitch??

The trick with your team is to take planned hits. You can take a single hit from every enemy except Neptune. You can take synced timer hits from a few enemies. So knowing that limit is really all you need to deal with. Since you're team has no blue or dark orbs, don't be afraid to make dead matches like that to charge skills.
It's a balancing act that you learn. Red Pirate Dungeon is like that for me and my Ronia team. I'm at the point where I get through Legend in about 5 minutes. I know which enemies I can take a hit from, how many hits I can take, and when to do a complete board sweep to clear up "dangerous" orbs and when to match 3 over and over. I guess that's part of the fun of learning how to farm with a team!
They ran a special dungeon called Jester Dragon a while back. That was how we all did it. Hopefully it comes around again one day.

Really depends on what dragons you get I guess, but I just cleared it with a regular Haku team.
Got the dark dragon on my first round, he's on a 3 turn timer so I could charge all skills without any problems, which made the rest of it really easy as well.

Just failed a Trifruit run. I accidentally broke TAMA's defense on the first attack and didn't get to stall.

Yeah, I've been farming Legend. 3 Pirates, 2 Chasers. But that's after a LOT of runs...
Alright, thanks! I'll cross my fingers and see what I can get. Will keep an eye out for Ra too.
Given the time limit, I can imagine. But hopefully my determination means something lol. I rerolled 444 painful times to get Auron in Pictlogica, after seeing almost every other premium character pop up. So I'll just give it a shot.
Same thing happened to me. Pterdos also didnt drop at the end. Rate is low.
Thanks! Although with a total team cost at 64 I can't put many high tiers into a team with Karin yet.
I'll admit I've been avoiding combo leads, I'm still not very good at combo-ing. I can somewhat reliably get 3 combo each turn, maybe 4 if there are a lot of orbs in L position so I can just run through them fast and if my orb doesn't get 'trapped' in a corner of the board afterwards. Anything more than that depends on what orbs drop after I let go. I end up feeling more safe stacking HP multipliers to serve as cushion for when the whole board is filled with orbs of a color I have no use for and can't combo away in a turn, and if I don't get enough hearts to combo to save myself.
The whole combo thing reminds me of Pokemon Puzzle League... and I sucked at Pokemon Puzzle League.
Simple economics = the more stones you have = the less you want to buy
GungHo knows they give out a lot of stones, and they want to deplete your resources somehow.

Agreed that this direction GH is heading with dungeons is very off-putting.
I'm just ignoring dungeons all together. Not going to try red pirates for stone and skipping tri fruits altogether. If this trend continues I'll just retire. 400 days of play is pretty crazy for me on a mobile game though.

The reason is that the JD is easier to skill is because they made his dungeon 2x drop, I don't think scarlet snake has ever been 2x drop.
I'm totally with you guys when it comes to complaining about the steep difficulty spike newer dungeons seem to have, but to play a bit of Devil's Advocate, we all thought Zeus was a huge stone sink back in the day, and look at how easily we can farm it now. For me, the problem isn't that these new dungeons are so hard, it's that the difficulty doesn't match up with the reward. Zeus was an amazing monster back then, and while less effective now, it's still really great. In comparison, Extreme Dragon Rush has a horrible difficulty-to-reward ratio. I'm with the guy that said he is just skipping these types of dungeons altogether. They will come around again, and we will all have stronger teams and better strategies to implement. I still haven't given GungHo a dime for a game I've played 400+ days in a row, so I can handle being patient.
Also, is anybody running Bastet today? I would love to add some Bastet friends for a few runs of Weekend Dungeon.
ID is 384 134 290
but goddammit, skilling monsters up is the worst

Ran Master with a Ra/Horus spike team and there was no risk of dying. Didn't even need to use Echidna, she was mainly there for RCV boost.
Ugh, fell asleep hella early yesterday so I missed the 10PM PST time for Kings. Had to waste a ton of stamina as I planned on getting 2 runs in which would've garnered me a rank up for more runs.
We're already friends but will be logging in throughout the day. Gotta watch that NBA All-Star weekend away from home.
Good luck to all pulling the REM today!

I was so close in beating the pirate dungeon (expert with Haku team), but was decimated.
Really wanted to continue, but it have 2 REM pulls set for tonight.

Shutouts to the demons and their buffed active skills, that now reduce enemy defense. Helps my crappy super metal/jewel runs out immensely. A lot faster than stalling for shiva active skill too.

So that happened. I'll take it. Ran all 4 levels for the stone and got 3 total drops. I hate these fucking dungeons.

I love these Super dungeons. With today's Super Rubies I was able to max-skill King Flamie and max-level/awaken Ronia. I didn't realize Trifruits was for 2 days. That's a nice surprise. I'm getting much more consistent at farming it now. I realized I don't need a mass attack on the 1F. A Dark match is enough to sweep the Seeds, leaving only the Fruit and a couple of turns to kill it. The PADX suggested Satan team says to replace DJ with Gryps if you have one, but DJ is way better. The only thing Gryps has is higher attack, but it's unneeded. DJ's 5CD orb change to match Vamp's is way more useful. I also replaced Hera-Ur with Ronia. Her Skill Boosts makes sure DJ and Vamp are active by 3F to ensure I sweep the Flower and Fruit, leaving TAMA to stall.

So more flame pirate farming for shrine maiden skills and chasers.
Even with 2x drop none of either.
Japan I am very frustrated at you for no chaser dungeon...

My first run of the Pirate dungeon [on Expert], I got a Flame Chaser invade. Yeah, I was pretty surprised.
I'm really tempted to pull during tonight's Godfest, but I will resist. I currently have two Blue Odin, one of which I'm Awakening now, so if I were to get one more in addition to a Blue Sonia...
If only.

What's your team roster, GC?
Edit: nm saw the build. Too bad my baddies isn't max skilled.
Ended up spending all 20 of my stones for 4 pulls in hoping for the godfest exclusives. My pulls were.
Isis (Would be great if I didn't already have one, but I'll save her to have both Ults I guess)
GrOdin (yay. One of the guys I wanted on both my us and JPN account I got both during Godfest!)
Pierdawn (Don't have a black team yet, but he seems like he could be cool)
Freyr (never heard of him. He doesn't look great)
Overall, pretty great. 3/4 were gold eggs and one was a really good pull. Fun

I have great monsters for being non iap...exception to players choice. Had to drop $30 there. But Dammit count me in as one that wants a Hanzo for dmeta team real bad. I got Satan, ares, gryps already and havent committed my 4 tamas to dmeta yet. Really tempted to roll now....wish they would do a ninja fest

0/4. Got nothing I need. No gold. Such is gungtroll
Ow. I feel for both of you. Getting GunTrolled is the worst. I especially hate getting Rider-gold egg trolled.
Taking look at Freyr's ult, he might have some potential. Adding the boost to attacker types as well opens up some interesting possibilities. Base monster forms seem mostly trash, though.
Haha, thanks. Definitely could have been much worst since I'm okay with getting Gryps as I have Dtron.

Yeap. Vamp, shardra, mandrake, and succubus
The easy to farm Vamp and one of the un-desirable healer girls? Even worse. Well, at least you got a Succubus. Hopefully you don't already have a maxed skilled one.
