Puzzle & Dragons |OT2| Don't Ask, Just Reroll

Well I guess it's time to stop rolling the REM.

Delicious.



Also, (barely) got my free tama from Lagavuilin:


Skyfalls were not being as generous as they should have, though.

On the JP side, I'm finally seeing how potent Kirin is. Made quick work of Satan, and just got Hera-Is to drop in Legendary difficulty. Astoundingly easy. Why won't you drop for me on my main account?? :(
 
Just cleared Trifruits for the first time! :D

First ran a Hera-Ur/Ronia team but that failed pretty badly, don't have the best subs for that one. Then I tried with a Bastet healer team + Yomi for extra time, which was fucking awesome. 2 clears so far, no problems at all. Would love to have a max skilled Valk though
or 2
, she's really resistant to skillups.

PaD Battle Tournament collab's REM monsters. Healer girls? Knight with Valkyrie should be pretty awesome. Skills seem to be similar or better than what they pair with.

Probably not coming to US unless GungHo kept all the rights for it. Other Square Enix stuff got artwork wiped from our client, so...

Also glad to see Light Hera continues the tradition of looking way better in her first form.

For a moment I thought I won something but it turns out that it's my 200th day playing pad. Currently with 128 stam I guess it's not bad. Like ducarmel I also power ranked a lot.
Yolo pull I got another hatsume. Meh I would've wanted blue rider instead.

Power ranked smartly. I'm in like 250 or something and I've only got 78 stam. Only can run one Super Dragons. =(

So, last godfest I pulled a Red Sonia. I figure she'll be a critical part of my monored team, but I don't want to give up Pheonix Knight or Gigas. Is her replacing my Volcano Dragon (once I get some levels into her, maybe evolver her) a good idea?

Yes. A fully awoken Ronia with all those row enhancements is amazing.

What you SHOULD do is make a Ronia/Ronia team. ;)
 
Went a little ham on stamina refreshing for super golds in JP, but now I finally hit Rank 200 and got Athena and Raphael to their final evos. Apollo I was a bit short on exp to complete unfortunately, but next time he should get there.

Well I iap every now and then so that may be a big difference. And also I can beat kog in about 2 mins with my team. So yeah iap win. Well I've got everything I need now. My goal is being non iap for at least 2 months.

Stamina potentia est!!!!

I am non-IAP as well, on my 121st day, and I am already rank 169. I was playing quite casually until I realized how good my godfest pulls are (Kirin, Loki, Horus, Ronia, Odin, Venus, Apollo, and many other useful subs, in under 20 pulls) after two months of playing. Then I read that famous non-IAP article on PNDforum.

Ever since, for me, the PAD totally changed. Weekday = T5 farming, weekday = OoH farming, not wasting any stamina on weekday dungeon (perhaps except Tue), use metal dragons to level up so that I can run it as many times as I could. Using up all the free stones to enlarge my box space, so that I have plenty of spaces to do the pengdra cycle (about 2 million exp per cycle).

Ronia is meant to be a leader, not a sub. You can build a pretty decent farming team around her using only farm'able subs like those ogres or devils.

Yup...You can build a poverty Ronia team that will do fine until you luck into some beefy devils.

Ronia/Ronia + King Baddie are the staples.

From there, any devil with row enhance will make your life easier. Fire and Dark Demons are even fine (and easy to awaken).
 
Such a weird but good feeling seeing Super Golds active and not giving a fuck. Didn't even run it once.

I wonder if TGP quit because other JP players finally caught-up and surpassed him. That last turn was crazy, using those crazy patterns to create cascades. Still more impressed with that video some Gaffer posted of a Zaerog run. Forgot which one it was. But it had a lot of near-death moments, a couple that looked near-impossible to survive.

Ronia makes a great sub. I use her as a sub for both my Trifruits and Gold Keeper teams, which I lead with Shiva and DQ Hera, respectively. Ronia's RCV multiplier isn't as important for those dungeons, so the higher ATK multiplier is more useful. The same logic applies for any other dungeon that doesn't need her 2.5x RCV. Though, I do use a Ronia helper for those dungeons, so I still get 2.5x RCV. It's just that 6.25x RCV is overkill a lot of times.

edit: ^^^ Oh hey, Nicoga!

What is T5 and i know ocean of heaven. is OoH or starlight sanctuary better to farm? I'm trying to get a good burst leader before i farm these though. my best bet thus far are my hero gods (water and blue) but they rely too heavily on IAP and i don't iap.

i really want a (g)odin busty.

T5 means tier 5 dungeons Hyperion Lava Flow, Oceanus Falls, Kronos Forest up to OoH (Ocean of Heaven).

T6 would be Vesta Cave, Frozen Soil of Prosell, Mars Crater, up to Starlight Sanctuary

Its recommended by most non iap players to play the 3rd level of T5 dungeons on 1.5x drop bonus days because they offer the most exp per stamina if your goal is to rank up fast. Otherwise just play the last level if you want higher chances of getting +eggs.

Three Kingdoms gods will be in the REM starting tomorrow. I hope the next Godfest has another good pantheon (not Greek 1.0) as well as Three Kingdoms.

When's the next event?! I've got 15 King Gold Slimes ready to give me one skill up :)

It's strange how when we started playing, events were a huge deal, but now we spend more time in an event than out of one.

Probably Tuesday? Wednesday at the latest. They seem fairly adverse to starting events on Mondays, unfortunately. Good luck with the Shynees. At least you can farm Draggie in the future.

Are the twinlits guaranteed drops even on non 2x days?

Fairly certain that Trifruits/Twinlits/Gold Keeper all have guaranteed boss drops. I think all other floors are 50% drop rate.


I thought that one was a boy?

Arcade collab is meaningless to US and EU players. It will never happen.

Still waiting for the PADZ announcement so we can get that collab some day.

Wait and see what they do for devil ultimates? 4/0/4 teams are mostly dead. Also, they killed her collab skill up in the US version.

Haven't used my Astaroth in any team this year. I like her awakenings. Hopefully she will become a better sub after uvo. Maybe give her Attacker sub-type :)

Asty and Amon were two of my favorite monsters conceptually. I guess all the counter gods were cool...Just those two in particular stuck out to me. It's really too bad counter is sort of garbage with the way power creep worked out.
 
With all the events that have been happening over the past few weeks, Im actually happy to have a non event time period. It gives me some time to collect evo mats or do things that I otherwise dont have time to do during events.
