Support NeoGAF

[razterik]

Alright GAF, need some input: Sun Quan vs. King Shynee on a L. Metatron team.

King Shynee generally. He should hit for more than Sun Quan with at least two light matches. And healers need that extra 3x punch over teams that can get away with 2x.

There's a lot of factors to consider. Skill levels, how many delays you need or can use, other team members, plus eggs.

 

[TsuXna]

Only if he is skilled up, waiting 25 turns would be terrible. I prefer my 18 turn (hopefully soon to be 14) Sun Quan.

He is not hard to skill up.
Tbh water healer team are much more stronger than Light one...

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Disco Hera-Ur, haha. Going to go out on a limb and say that she needs a Devilit and Dub-rubylit to evolve.

If she isn't called Disco Inferno Hera-Ur then riot

Also here's some girl gacha rates. Bikinitron hella rare, Omega Whale Oronain got his in 167 and somebody else gave up after 370.

 

[Epic Drop]

running dtron makes you really sloppy. trust me

When I was running Chinese gods as my main, I felt like I was constantly improving. 6-7 combos were typical. Ever since I've gotten B. Sonia, I am dramatically more successful at running everything, but my combo skills have gone completely to crap, because all I do is stall and make rows for massive damage.

This is really crazy. I'm not sure how much longer these types of games will be able to get away with this format. This is basically non-sanctioned gambling and people are spending thousands of dollars with no real information or policing of the people raking in the money. It's a casino slot machine for video game players. Who knows if Gungho is making the number for some of these rolls as .00001 chance. I know we joke that 3 times 0 is still zero but we really have no clue what the rate is and it might be just as bad as we expect it to be.

Yup. GungHo will do what they need to do to make loads of money; if a monster's chance is 0.01% chance of popping out, all that needs to happen is ONE person gets it. That's the spark that lights the fire. DTron is a superb example of this.

 

[Rekwest]

Yay! I just got 5 stones for 550 days.

Sandalphon is an annoying dungeon to run, even with optimal squads. And there's no reason for his skill to start with such a stupidly high countdown. But he is useful with enough work since we don't have any of the better options from JP.

Agreed that blue healer is far superior now. Needs very specific REM members, though. Sun Quan, Blue Valk, Hatsume, and I&I. Or Bikini Tron, but that's a < 0.1% dream right there.

 

[Ducarmel]

^ Don't forget about Gabriel's new ultimate

 

[razterik]

Right, right. Missing him and Blue Valk, so don't run this team yet.

Argh, farming Rainbow Keepers and hit Gold Keeper by accident. Light Tron isn't going to cut it. Bye stamina.

 

[the_log_ride]

S ranked Mystic Light but it took a while. I used Ghostring to immediately kill the pixies on floors 2 and 5.

http://i.imgur.com/2N1G9mN.jpg[.IMG][/QUOTE]

Good build to net the Tama, but don't be like me and be lazy on combos. I fell short by 300 points to get the S rank. :\

GC, just sent you an in-game message.

 

[Quantum]

Threw a few stones at Ancient ocean.

Maxed Sun Quan after 14 drops (about 18 runs total).

I think it was a pretty good skill up rate.

I am not complaining, but I don't see the reason to keep running this dungeon and my cleopatra only got three skill-ups in the same time.

Although might be worth max skilling for poision (I don't have a neptune)

Yeah I really need to pick her up. Right now my only poison is copperhead, which is not ideal. Unfortunately I don't think I have a team that can handle Master so I have to hope I get lucky on Expert. And skill ups are out of the question for now.

The cool down is high but as a skill that does 2 things I think it's justified. Don't forget damage reduction gets carried over if you sweep the round. It makes my King of Gods run a lot more stable.

Obviously without a team full of Odins it would be rather useless in dungeons where you cannot stall.

Only round with Raphael is annoying other pretty much straight away.
You can make good water healer team even without bikini (lol) meta. One of the biggest problems with light Metatron team is lack of orb changers. You might have had time passing sub boss or kill a boss. But in water team that problem is covered with Hatsume and Gabriel. Bikini tron would give you free turn against bosses with prem. attack but sun quan also can give you two turns untill boss has shield.
My perfect healer team would be Sun Quan/Wvalk/Hatume/Gabriel/bikini/I&I
If no bikini meta she can be replaced with siren or max skilled lmeta in any case.
You can also run double I&I team with Wvalk/hatsume/gabriel/Sun Quan.

 

[cw_sasuke]

So how easy is switching the game from one device to another ? Or from android to the iOS version - will it be enough if i have my ID and Secret Code - or do you still need to contant Gungho if you want to transfer ?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Ult Beelz getting his skill changed for who knows what reason. Now it's "heal 4649 HP, and enhance dark orbs".

 

[Althane]

Ult Beelz getting his skill changed for who knows what reason. Now it's "heal 4649 HP, and enhance dark orbs".

So he says hi to the player, and makes dark orbs stronger?

That is odd.

I evo'd then bustied Shiva, making my Ronia team now:

L: Ronia
1: Demolishing Creator, Shiva
2: King Baddie
3: Duke Vampire Lord
4: Echidna

Probably going to busty the Vampire next, other than that, I'm not sure what next to upgrade the team with. King Baddie is nice to keep around for the damage boost along with Ronia's active.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

After running Bastet for almost a year you become a natural >7 combo maker : )

A part of me always wondered if running Horus was making me lazy. I can get the four colors no problem, but I still have trouble consistently getting more than 6 combos.

I run Kirin mainly for descends (and these S-Rank attempts), if there is a board that Kirin can activate on, I am reasonably comfortable that I will hit at LEAST 6 if not 7.

I do want to get my Bastet up there, just to try her out.

Only uprades I can see are if you want to go mostly Red - Farm an Ifrit from Hera-Ur for two red row enhancements (gets to that magic 5 row enhance) you would use him instead of Vamp but only after it is ultimate evolved into it's devil form. Hera-Ur for Red and Dark enhance, though her awakenings stink. Another good farmable one would be cerberus, for dark orb enhance.

After that it's all REM - Belial or FA Luci for 2x skill and 2x row enhance (effectively replaces Echidna as most bosses block menace so you would be using her for stalling), Ultimate D/D Haku (a kind of "mini" ronia board change good for 1-2 rows), and Lu Bu (can be a King Baddie replacement)

Actually have an Ifrit, just needing to get another Red Dragon Fruit to busty him.

Once I hit that team (Replacing Duke with Ifrit), I really need to consider what the team is actually good for. Is a Ronia team used for farming, or is it used in Descendeds?

I probably need to start putting thought into this game again, I got stuck for so long, and now I actually have some power, and no idea what to do with it. Heh.

 

[linsivvi]

Good thing Hera-Ur will be getting busty soon!

 

[NineH]

Skilling up Apollo is a pain. In about 5 runs of Legend, each and every time the pixies dropped instead of the evolved form of cyclops. I managed to get two cyclops though but ugh, stupid RNG gonna RNG.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Run Hera Sowilo instead, guaranteed drop on Mythical. Average 1.5 cyclops per run. Also you get the evo'd form.

Ronia with a Shiva sub can farm ALL THE THINGS!. The most difficult standard dungeon is King of Gods, two king baddies makes short work of round 9 and 10, so you only need to worry about round 8 that way. one king baddie means you will need to echidna and damage (or tank and damage) through round 8, Ronia/ Ifrit skill and Shiva orb enhance through round 9, and then King Baddie/Ronia on Zues.

 

[Jagernaut]

Someone on puzzleanddragonsforum ran Hera Sowilo Legend 37 times to max skill Apollo, they got the evolved Cyclops drop every time.

 

[TsuXna]

One step closer for my zeus vulcan team, the only problem i'll have are awekings. I'm lack of tama's.

Maxed my Apollo and Tama-sama!

That
I'll max out Cleopatra, she can be a useful sub.

 

[razterik]

Definitely this. Maxed my second Apollo much faster from Sowilo drops than when I did my first through mystic light.

Any videos of I&I running Vulcan? Curious about the strategy for it. Probably taking Blue Sonia myself to grab the stone. Vulcan doesn't seem likely to take off as a popular leader, even if he is pretty decent.

Jealous of maxed Rodin Tama. I'm not going for mine. Too much effort for a low cost team. Rodin was enough work already.

Where would you sub Cleo?

Thanks for the tip. I always ignored the descends where I was not interested in the monsters in them. I should have looked closer at the other drops though.

Not really, I haven't seen any on youtube. I came up with that team when saw zeus vulcan dungeon first. In fact the only problem I should have is on Round 7 against Artemis who is a green monster TT. I'll have an idea what to change to make team better after few runs.
I maxed Tama sama just because I rank up in Seaway.
Not sure yet for Cleo, but active skill is nice.

Double I&I run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPLUIcMZ2-s

Sandalphon/I&I run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRVegjBfU4Q

How do you search for videos? I enter the the Japanese name of the dungeon and add the Japanese name of the leader I want to see, that seems to work best for me.

edit:I got my one year bonus today :/

 

[damisa]

I have 37 dragon fruits, I got 5 more today in 6 runs. I don't know why I keep getting them, I should just sell half of them

 

[TsuXna]

Thanks. I didn't like that i&i setup at all tho.

 

[Tonner Cyn]

I just switched from a Galaxy S2 to an S4. I made sure to have my ID and got the secret code on my old phone. Started up my new one, installed PAD, entered the codes, and VOILA! That simple. Not sure if going from Android to iOS complicates things but I'm guessing not.

 

[Ducarmel]

I cant believe it, I wanted to finish SS Zeus challenge mode for the stone for the godfest coming up, all I needed to do is one orb match to heal to full every turn on Zeus and I mess that up.

 

[Jagernaut]

Time travelers confirm Dark Gala tomorrow and unknown godfest Saturday night.

Really? I'm pretty sure you can go from either version. I believe Nicoga did it when he switched from iOS to android. The servers only care about the recovery code and not the platform.

So I finally got hooked on another iOS, anyone in here playing Clash of Clans? Not sure why it never stuck with me before even after all of the PAD collabs but have a blast with it now.

That page is almost a year old. They have since allowed transfers between iOS and Android, I think (haven't tried it).

Not up to date. It is indeed possible, but only once every 30 days I think.

You have to go to the data migration option in the game. It's there, and it actually walks you through very clearly, step-by-step. Read through that first. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.

 

[Caspel]

Quick FYI:
Evangelion returns.

From Aug. 18–31, players can battle in a special Evangelion-themed dungeon where they will face off against the mysterious Angels. A special Rare Egg machine shaped like the EVA-01 will be featured and can distribute popular Evangelion characters (Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Mari, Kaworu) alongside their EVA Units.

Players will also experience the Ragnarok Odyssey ACE collaboration on Aug. 19. Players can capture the famous Ragnarok Odyssey ACE monsters (Marin, Domovoi, Grendel, Hrungnir, etc.) in an exclusive dungeon featuring scenes and characters from the game.

 

[chrono01]

Quick FYI:
Evangelion returns.

Very nice, thanks for the update!

I'm still hoping for Hunter x Hunter [or DBZ], but any anime-themed collaboration is great to see! I'll definitely be looking forward to running it again.

 

[Jagernaut]

I wish I had Dark Archdemon Lucifer, I would go hard and max skill him from the EVA Collab. Top tier dark devil sub. I could skill up the 6th Angel but it's not a devil.

 

[CountAntonius]

Same. Him, Lubu and Shiva are the three monsters I want to round out my Ronia team for either dark or fire.

My poor friend pulled 4 of them lol.

 

[Ducarmel]

I need FA Luci also.

Good chance next godfest is Japanese 2.0 and Archdemons or Chinese 2.0

I hope it happens I got 6 rolls for it.

 

[Quantum]

Having a terrible skill up rate on Cleopatra.

threw a couple stone to run it and have been having an excellent drop rate - just no skill ups at all today.


I should just be happy that I max'd sun quan, but still, cleo has some descent stats for a poison if I could get her down to 15 (max) - since my other four poisons have nothing close stat wise (ghost/lilith/birds/copper)


I have mixed feeling about the evo coming back. I really would prefer something new - but I do have a fallen that I rolled after the last time the collab was around although I don't have a devil team atm.

 

[atlantaguy]

I've run across some weird luck. The rare evo PAL event gave me two green dragon fruits and I just pulled a lil black dragon. Having the ultimate evo of CDD is going to help a lot when I decide to try out Two Heroes, not to mention Hera.
