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

I deliberately evolved my Karin just to free up 5 more spaces for hanahime monsters over the next two days. Hanzo needs one more skill up to get max and then an almost skilled hanahime would be nice for low cost mono dark teams.

Got a Zues, Hera, and some other stuff to feed. Gotta evolve my purple chasers, have six so far...

Welp, looks like I'll be spending all 10 magic stones I built up plus the free ones I get on that SSP event. Damn that's good. Will definitely run at least Blade of Justice as well to grab a Light Knight. Maybe go for some ADK skill ups as well. Was disappointed when I saw the Descends of this event, but with daily specials like these who has stamina for descends?

save up for 2x.
 
Made Rusted Mechdragon Expert around 20 times and no Lilith and no Mech :(

15 hours to go, and I'll have sta for 3 or 4 more runs, max. At least it has been worthy, in exp, being rank 50.

Aaaaaand, I got a keeper of gold from the PAL machine so, well, that's something.

Wait, you just got a keeper of gold today from the pal machine?
 
Rodin is so strong. His special almost does as much damage to Zaerog as Grodin even though Grodin has weakness advantage. And I forgot about his super strong poison. Does over 20K damage per turn. If only I had a ton of stones. Zaerog farming is super easy with this team and so much faster than the Ogre version.

Pretty funny cause not too long ago it was never roll PAL on evo mats

How hard it is to get the top level evo-mats now has really changed things. Gold Keepers, Twinlits and even Dragon Fruits all have a ton of value and are hard to farm for a lot of people, especially compared to how easy it is to farm the lower level mats.

Embarrassing admission here, for some reason I thought you could only save up to 10 PAL pulls. Just realized that you can store way, way more. Wasted quite a few pulls because I pulled one or two times because I was "full". Not sure how I missed that.

I'm still not rolling PAL on evo mats since I already have all the mats that I need except Dub-topalit, which I need tons.

The last 3 events have been all evo mats though so I may need to roll just get rid of some points.

I don't mind the evo mats since I never have enough, but can we at least get the PAL upgrade that includes chasers? Been waiting forever.
 
Final tally is 12 chasers (over two weeks) and 9 hanahimes (over 1 week, already skilled up Hanzo to a six cooldown last weekend)

I'll hopefully get the last skill up on Hanzo, but I am dreading all those evo mats for those chasers...

What's a chaser and what is the point of getting s ranks?

Chasers are a specific kind of monsters that have the same active abilities of REM monsters like the 4 sacred beasts or Archangel Metatron (useful for skill them up, they are also competent monsters on their own).

Getting S-rank for the first time gives you a Tamadra, apart from that is cool.

Yeah, either 10+ combo or decent combo with a couple 1 star subs should guarantee S rank for these dungeons.

Now that we're done with the whiskey dragons, flower dragons next?
 
I have:

- Dino Rider +1 atk,+1 rcv
- Sylph +1 atk
- Wooden Dark Tiamat +1 hp

Hmm, I was hoping it would be much more than that. Anyway, any reason to keep these guys around? It isn't much in the way of +'s but I don't think I have ever used them. Just trying to clean up some trash from the box.
 
S Ranked Ancient Dark. Another "Instant S rank when Anubis" runs.

Took my Anubis lead with a Kushinada (lower Multiplier, but more consistent than dual Anubis and more multiplier than matching with Bastet)

I actually got a 19 combo once, 11 of those were sky falls, but still! Anubis (5*), Ultimate D/L Yomi, Ultimate R/D Shiva, Rose Valk, and Ronia.

only S rank Ancient I missed was Ancient Green, maybe next time (if I'm still playing then)

Kind of getting bored with the game. Essentially I have nothing today (full box, no new trophy dragon, Ruby dragons but off Double Kings)

I have:

- Dino Rider +1 atk,+1 rcv
- Sylph +1 atk
- Wooden Dark Tiamat +1 hp

Hmm, I was hoping it would be much more than that. Anyway, any reason to keep these guys around? It isn't much in the way of +'s but I don't think I have ever used them. Just trying to clean up some trash from the box.

Dino Rider - What does the new Ultimate add and could you use it? If unknown wait until then.
Sylph - Feed
Wooden Dark Tiamat - Unevolve and ultimate evolve into the new D/D Tiamat (to add a subtype)? Do you need Dark Row Enhancements? Late bloomer dragons are a good source for two of them especially once they add the subtype.

Just my take, but I usually think more box space ($1) is better than selling/eating a REM only monster ($5)
 
Fuck! Only averaged 9.2 combos on Dark Whiskey. Cleared the entire board on the last round and didn't get a single skyfall. Anubis too stronk though. 1-shot Whiskey with only a 9-combo. I'll try replacing Echidna with Rodin to start orb-changing 3 turns earlier. I only used Echidna on the boss and didn't even need the extra turns.

Sylph can be used for low cost dungeons like draggie. Possibly other dungeons down the road.

Thanks. I think this should be put in the OP.
 
If only we had somebody who could edit the OP...

We're getting close to 200 pages again maybe it's time for an OT3 after the next major version update comes out?

Took me 3 tries but I S ranked Ancient Dark Dragon. I used this team and made an average of 9.6 combos

Ultimate Bastet
Ultimate Echidna
Rose Valkyrie
Awoken Athena
GOdin
Ultimate Bastet

I used Valkyrie on floors 5 and 10 and made a 8 combo + 5 more from skyfalls to ko the boss on the 2nd turn.

Blue starters should have Super Metals right now, but it's not listed for me. Guess I got hit by the update bug that screwed up the limited time dungeons. Hope they get this fixed.

Ah, quick fix on iOS. Disable automatic time and set your clock ahead by an hour. Shows up and can now be entered.

Wait, what time bug?? This hit my phone! Now it shows up but won't let me enter. Ugh. I'm not changing the time on my phone so I guess I'll just wait till it gets fixed.

If you see it now, you already missed it. It was last hour.

The bug was introduced in the new update. Best theory is daylight savings got mixed up somehow.

Hm, some time ago my US account was disabled from using iAP, just after I bought 100$ in Itunes credit. (I'm from Europe and don't have a US address).

Yesterday, after I downloaded the update, i tried to buy a 85 Stones pack... and it worked! :D Maybe now I can get the Hanzo I need for my otherwise perfect DTron team...

Yeah, well these dungeons aren't technically on a posted schedule, so they could easily get away with not giving out anything.

Also, PSA for anyone planning to try for skill ups once the event rolls in: Wait until the bug is fixed! It will more than likely screw with other mechanics besides just time limited dungeons. Fuse at your own risk.

None of the Tuesday stuff is showing up yet. Definitely effecting more than just the surprise dungeons!

Edit: Also, definitely getting lots of Greats and even a skill up so I think it's all on and OK.
 
On one hand we get more stones. On the other hand, I would have really liked that green EXP today since I'm right by a level so I can run super king twice and restock on keeper of rainbows.

PAL gave me one red dragon fruit and one blue dragon fruit but no keeper of gold! One day it'll come out.


Has anyone received their free magic stone from this event? I'm showing no mail but I just got the new day notice...
