Oh, there's a PAD thread. I didn't know so many people played here. I only have JP accounts and it's weird trying to get used to seeing the English names even for ones that I have! (So forgive any mistakes on names, etc.)
Earlier today I just cleared Goemon (both Legend and Mythical) with my healing Idunn/a party (also includes Hatsume, Echidna, LMetatron, and Water Valkryie; only Echidna and Valkyrie are max skill.) That's on my newest account (only rank 155). First time I tried Goemon on this one and first time trying Mythical. Leilan also came out on my Legend try so I picked up a Red Orb as well.

Wish I had noticed Athena has two sets of shades sooner; would have made my Blackbeard runs easier.
Still can't burst him down on Legendary fast enough with Kirin though, especially with all the orb trolling.

So I didn't know about the ultimate Mystic Dragons until someone here mentioned it. I just looked them up on PADX and see that they changed the name of their active skill and dropped the initial cooldown to 6. So I guess I wasted my time getting my Nebradisk to skill Lv.13.

Wait what? Crap i've been trying to skill nebradisk this entire time too...

I didn't find ultimate Nebradisk listed, but I just assume it will eventually come later and have the same active as the others.

Rank 185

Rank 168
283,078,346 (LMetatron, DMetatron, Idunn/a, FHorus, Sakuya, Cao Cao, DarkRa, Okuninushi)
Rank 155

All 3 also have GrOdin who I use as a leader for Choki dungeons.
You also have a chance at skilling up the ultimate's skill when you do the evolution, since all the normal mystic dragons share the same skill. Don't ask me how that works, it's just like how you can awaken King Mastering with regular Mastering when you do the ultimate evo. So try to do the evolution while 2x skill up is active.

Ugh lucky. I've run master 4 times (including twice at 1.5x drop) and no drop yet. Normally I would wait until 2x drop but I gotta dedicate my stamina to picking/skilling up Verche this weekend.

I'm pretty happy. I'm not even high enough level to tackle master and only had enough stamina to try the int. one (which was enough to help me level up). Wasn't expecting anything but man, seeing that gold egg drop sure felt good. But at 50 cost it'll be a while before I'll be able to fit him in on any kind of team.

Oh and if anybody does add me please let me know here or in game, so I know your from GAF and can add you ( not just a random person who I may or may not accept. )
I cleared out some slots from people who haven't logged in for a long while so I do have space open. (Mine are all JP accounts as well.)

Where's the best place to get team building optio s for specific dubgeons from? i used to go to puzzledragonx but they kinda suck now. their mobile site barely works
padwiki has team suggestions for dungeons, not all them but most of the descends.
Padforum you can find team suggestions in specific descend threads or in the team building guides for specific gods.
Do you need her now I have Healer version max skilled, no awakenings.
Norse and Archangel godfest, just a yolo pull from me on this one. I could use Gabriel and Thor but I'm not in a rush to get them.
You're in China right? Go to the Chinese wiki, it's got a lot more teams listed than the English wiki. If you can't read the descriptions just use Google translate.

I think they are only 2 super ultimates for each set of dragons. The mechdragons only have 2 evos between the 5 of them.
Bleh, just noticed the cooldown on sandalphon's skill. Even if I get one it wont be a good addition to my DQXQ team will it? I hate the stupid slimes but king shynee's cooldown is much more reasonable.
Should I try skilling up king shynee? (yuck) Or should I try skilling up sandalphon (Not even sure I can do the dungeon yet)

I don't know if I have you colinp...but I can put up Idunna up for you. In game is same as gaf..so let me knew 330 447 209 if anything

I sent a request from my main one (smbu) and from my newer one (ToTheMoon!) as it shows you having only two friend slots available.
Sandalphon is awesome for King of Gods farming, since it's easy to stall. Use it on floor 9 if enemy is on 1 cooldown, otherwise save it for Zeus.
But yeah, not something you would normally use for descend runs.

I really hope GH gives us an alternate way of farming evo spheres without having to farm 50 stam descends I otherwise have no use for and hope to get invades.

I have a feeling Paradise of the Holy Beasts will get updated to let you do that at some point in the future, but who knows when that'll happen.
George Claw M.D.
Member
Ooh ... That would be awesome.
Same here. Getting 2 orbs for Athena wasn't hard but now I need 5 orbs. I did 3 runs of Goemon the other day but there were no Chinese invades.
Do you think I should try skilling up either one?
If you have the stones to burn, King Shynee for sure.
I have no stones, but I was gonna +egg farm in the tier that can drop the thingies I need and will do it slowly over time.
I've maxed all of the king slimes and King Shynee was the most worthwhile since healer teams don't usually have a ton of skill boosts. Just take it slowly and make it a side project whenever you get some king dragons from running super dragons. Hopefully you get lucky with skill ups. My best was 5/11 with King Baddie, and worst was King Bubblie at 5/48. Shynee took 21 feeds.
Can you tell me how you worked on getting the evo mats for the king shynee? Is there a good dungeon to grind for both those kings? Nothing that needs stones though
Last level of vesta cave?

The best way to skill-up King Shynee is to farm Super Golds for the Kings. You can sell the Super Kings for gold or feed for Light exp. Use the Highs for leveling-up Big Shynees. For Shynees and Topalits run the last floor of Dungeon of Light (can run during 1/2 stam events for greater efficiency). Shynee also drops as the boss of the first floor but you'll be getting way more Shynees than Topalits anyway, so farm the last floor for greater Topalit farming efficiency.Can you tell me how you worked on getting the evo mats for the king shynee?

Kirin and/or Ronia are usually up. I need to work on skilling her up but she is getting all my +eggs now.
Hunting for orbs blows. Thought y'all should know.
I find myself in a dilemma. I have a GZL, a Freyja (aiming for her new ultimate), 2 Parvatis (one almost max skilled, the other untouched) and a tortured soul who ran green dragon den one too many times. I figure I'll skill up the second Parvati...sometime down the road, but for the skilled up one which of her two ultimates should I go for? Make her G/L for another wood lead or G/R for the subtype and the TPA?

Monster Strike beating PAD in Top Grossing again, and it's not even in a rarefest this time. Pretty crazy how fast that game has grown.
Is it still difficult to get a rare monster from the gacha (compared to other PAD-likes)? I downloaded it a while ago, but haven't played it yet since I didn't want to go through the reroll marathon. I remember you posting it had a poor gacha rate. Kind of a shame because it reminds me of Metal Walker and seemed interesting.

Yeah rates are still pretty bad, but the tutorial goes by a lot faster than PAD's and I think the post-tutorial roll is rigged to only give you 4* and higher eggs.
It's pretty interesting how gacha rates affect different games. LLSIF's 1% makes you never expect to get a UR card, but that game doesn't require you to beef up on the rarest cards so it doesn't matter if you get LLSIF.gif'd or not. Monstrike's low rates encourage local co-op because you're likely to only roll a few god-tier cards. Dragon Poker's 7% makes you actually afraid to roll since you know you'll get a SSS eventually but not how long it takes, and they devs actually hand out a choice of nine free SSS cards to new players. White Cat Project doesn't have a stamina meter but has separate gachas for both party members and equipment, which is probably how they're still #5 top grossing.

I've played a few different games and kept track of the gacha rates as I rolled. Obviously not scientific, but I went 1/23 in Dragon Coins for a decent starter, 6 SS cards in 105 pulls in Dragon Poker, and Pictlogica has around an 8% rate for pulling rares. I still log into Dragon Poker for the nanto stones, but haven't played in a while.
Pictlogica is just ridiculous in general lol. They ran an FF8 event for two weeks where you could craft different weapons that had good stats/bonuses, so it was worth using gems for stamina refills. Then a couple weeks later they released slightly better weapons in a different event. The sidegrades were too blatant and you only get enough gems for 2-3 rolls per month so I just log in for bonuses now. I also kept logging in because they made it so your friends can't use your leader if you've been inactive for 3 days. Damn that game.

The post-tutorial roll does give out Silver eggs (3*) as well. The majority are 4* though. I tried many times when I started up my account until I finally got a 5* character. Luckily the tutorial is much faster than PAD, which takes forever.
There are Monsto events which give out only gold eggs though. 4* or higher. That would be a good time to start an account for a new user.
