Going to make a Yamato team for farming Thursday/friday dungeons.

I have:
Yamato
Ronia x2
Chiyome x2
Belial
Freyr
Leilan
Hera
Gigas

I was thinking
Yamato, Ronia, Chiyome, Leilan, Freyr, Yamato

I was thinking freyr over Gigas because the rows and skill ups.

I would take off the Ronia, and add in another short cooldown orb changer. Ronia's is too long for that sort of dungeon. Gigas RCV is not too big an issue so long as you can activate Yamato every turn.

I run Urd on Thursdays and it is pretty simple with Minerva and Chiyome as my 5 or 6 turn orb changers.

 

[coy]

I want to max skill Hera-Ur too but I will take advantage of Dark Bowl Dragon this week and can get Izanami as close to max skill as possible. Hopefully the next event is 2.5 skill up too.

This is my thinking as well. A 3-turn defensive skill up every 6 turns would be most welcome. And yeah, I plan on saving the drops for the next 2.5x skillup window.

What do you do for senpai?

I'd imagine that it would be hard to heal 10k damage while she is in the red.

For Senpai, all your skills should be up (can stall easily FL4 and you may only need to use 1 Minerva skill on FL5) then I can take 2 hits with some healing (18886 HP with hyper friend) before needing to delay; if you do big damage initially and upset her, go straight to delay. Use Echidna+Freyr, then Goemon+Ur for big burst. If that doesn't kill, both Minerva actives should be ready along with 2 more turns of Freyr enhancement.

I was able to kill Senpai this morning w/o the final burst as I had a good board plus skyfall for each Minerva active. So far, no wipes on this dungeon.

Edit: I can get godly combo counts on the tricolor non-Mythical bowl dungeon but my latest Mythical run had 2 separate floors where skyfall didn't do shit. Not cool.

 

[jay23]

Failed Noah mythical 3 times today, first time made it all the way and choked on a perfect board.

I'm still bad with combo leads, not terrible anymore like i used to be but still very inconsistent. Need more time extends or something.

 

[razterik]

Was going so well, too. Made a row and one TPA with 7 combo. Not enough damage, even with enhance. Wonder if making two TPAs and one match would have been better, but I didn't have any plus eggs on Shivas.

Round 2, success. Tried to poke Zaerog down first turn this time. Hit two red TPAs, then got a 13 combo skyfall with three more red matches. So shocked that I blew my pic, heh.

I suppose I should eat some crow over my A.Shiva complaints, but I still wish he was a red row leader. Gadius ended up stealing his spot.

 

[yami4ct]

I need 29 Tamas for my Devil team. Ow. That's not gonna be fun.

In slightly better news, the only rare mats I need for it are 1 Blue Jewel for Beelzebub, 4 Red Fruits for Ronia and a Devilit for Lu Bu.

 

[razterik]

Double blue rows on A.Karin. Yay!

Poison resist x2 is odd, but fine since I hate that orb change.

Dragon/attacker.

 

[tiltnkirby]

Pad Academy isn't as fun as I thought it would be, more of a pain in the ass since I rather be using my stam on +eggs instead of this. It also lags my phone, whats up with that?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Why do i suck so much :-/
Could have easily cleared Dialgados Mythical but i was again to greedy with my actives...at stage 4 and with all available -.-

Double blue rows on A.Karin. Yay!

Poison resist x2 is odd, but fine since I hate that orb change.

Dragon/attacker.

Man...had hoped for Healer she would have been great on a Andromeda/SQ team.

Pad Academy isn't as fun as I thought it would be, more of a pain in the ass since I rather be using my stam on +eggs instead of this. It also lags my phone, whats up with that?

Heh yeah Christmas Hera was more fun xD

btw. how high is your team dmg with a full board like this ?

Around ~930k on both Metatrons since they're hyper maxed. The others likely around upper 800k each, so 5-6 million in total about. I get more if I made 2-3 rows with DQ but this is just feels a lot cooler.

Ideal farm teams for Thursday and Friday have Echidna and a red orb enhance. My 100% fool proof friday team goes like this:

Yamato x2, Echidna, DQ-Hera, Suzaku and Lilith. The key for Friday is to hit the magic 8 "Skill cooldown" awakenings with yamato and 2 more cards. This allows Echidna and Lilith (max skilled) to be ready after turn 2. The strategy goes like this:

Round 1: if you have 6 red orbs, do a single row match. If not enough red use Yamato.
Round 2: match one set of any orbs on turn 2, Lilith and Echidna are now active... use lilith turn 3.
Round 3: Use Echidna, bring down the right dub, then the left, then match until echidna and lilith come back. Use a row of hearts to remove bind or just wait it out. You don't really have to wait here, burst through if you feel like. I usually wait just to be extra safe in round 4.
Round 4: Use Echidna if you waited. I use Suzaku, Yamato, DQ Hera combo and one shot the final round. Really simple and safe this way. Waiting for delay to come back just helps if you get orb trolled by your burst combo.

Friday dungeon is even easier since you don't need lilith poison, just bring another orb changer and burst through. Definitely bring echidna for delay on the last round though.

 

[jay23]

So I eventually beat Noah on mythical last night after I stopped rushing my moves and started planning them better. Even saw Phoenix( only reason I was running this) but of course it didn't drop.

Pad Academy isn't as fun as I thought it would be, more of a pain in the ass since I rather be using my stam on +eggs instead of this. It also lags my phone, whats up with that?

Same thing happens to me that dungeon really isn't fun at all.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I still wish the conditional on Noah was that you had to bring in two of every monster

 

[saichi]

Double blue rows on A.Karin. Yay!

Poison resist x2 is odd, but fine since I hate that orb change.

Dragon/attacker.

are rows making a comeback?!?!?

I yolo'd rolled on REM yesterday (Green gala lure is strong, bad idea I know). Got Fafnir and Osiris, pretty damn happy.

 

[Negator]

Am finally able to kind of farm Legendary Dragon's Footprints. Now if only these damn Succubus would drop!

The XP isn't bad either.

Edit: Damn. Doing it 3 times ranks me up. Amazing. I can rank up, do it twice, wait for the last bit of stamina, do it again, then do it twice more, then wait. Hopefully the loop doesn't close anytime soon!

Here's a handy guide from pdx to help you with rank xp.

I fell asleep after work and did not get a crack at Zeus Mercury. He's all I need for Awoken Neptune. Maybe when the next event hits he'll show again.

Thanks. It's depressing knowing how many rank ups I need for my desired team cost

However, I FINALLY managed to get a succubus to drop! YAY

Please tell me that "?????????????" is the Sphinx.

 

[Jonsoncao]

New event:

Please tell me that "?????????????" is the Sphinx.

Unless Gungho NA does something extraordinary to push Sphinx forward, which is extremely unlikely to be case, the question marks should be Zeus & Hera...

Gungho NA normally follows the order of the Jp releases, Sonia Gran->Zeus Hera->Kaguya->Sphinx.

The only exception was Zeus Mercury IIRC, because of the release of A. Neptune.

EDIT: still no 3x normal...

The description about an "ancient wonder" made me instantly think of Sphinx. Didn't the awoken Egyptian gods already get downloaded into the NA client too?

Just rolled sun wukong from the academy thing. He's pretty good right?

Wukong is good (like all the Heroes), I one shot the Dark Bowl dragon even with his 50% light resistance.

 

[razterik]

Still no 3x normals or even 2x coin dungeons!?

Fucking FAIL.

UGH, no pii Challenge dungeon set either. JP never skips these during events, but we've missed two in the last month.

A.Karin lost a poison resist and gained a second skill boost. Eh.

Vishnu is amazing. Sub everywhere. Active change to increased green skyfall and now spawns two random green orbs. Buff to Sara and Krishna maybe?

 

[Noaloha]

Uggh. Was really hoping for Poring to show up this event.

Holy moly this guy is now a lock on my Verdandi team along with Liu Bei.

Oh shit I can't wait for that Vishnu Uevo. So glad that I have him now... Everything that I wanted Attacker type and UUU.

Perfection.

Wood Attacker with Prongs? It's almost as if this were a running theme. Maybe this is something that other elements and typings could learn from, HMMMMMMMM.

With Vishnu's insane buff I'm think of making a Awoken Parvati team.
Parvati, Vishnu, Verdandi, Verdandi, Liu Bei, Parvati

12 TPA
8 Green Enhanced Orbs
6 Skill Boosts

Other Subs:
Michael
Dupe Parvati
Meimei

I WANT A BASTET SO BAD

I suppose I should eat some crow over my A.Shiva complaints, but I still wish he was a red row leader. Gadius ended up stealing his spot.

Congrats on the clear!

I also managed to clear Dragon Rush. My first time clearing it. I subbed out Liu Bei and put in SQ. His delay really helped on the boss. I didn't take him out on that turn, but one shot from Trunks finished him off.
I'm glad I was able to pick up the orb, 2 noels and the stone for clearing all of the dragon challenge dungeons.

[Jagernaut]

Vishnu ultimate is great (I need to finish skilling up mine) but why did only him and Ganesha get new awakenings? What about the other Indian 2.0 gods?

 

[zoku88]

Vishnu ultimate is great (I need to finish skilling up mine) but why did only him and Ganesha get new awakenings? What about the other Indian 2.0 gods?

Probably because they got new leader skills. Looks like his stayed the same.

I really wish I skilled my Indian gods when I had the chance. Now I need to spend major coin

 

[Ducarmel]

Yeah gungho has established rules on getting extra awakenings.

If your leader skill does not change you get 2 extra awakenings, if part of your ultimate evolution requires a jewel you get one for each jewel.

 

[am_dragon]

Praise Gungho, 4 flampy sightings, 2 drops in 7 runs of Alt. Castle of Satan

Wow, I've been running it to level up every day since the dungeon rotation. I haven't seen one yet.

Where am I gonna get any Piis now?

 

[cw_sasuke]

You have Vishnu too? You really had the perfect streak for the green team


Where am I gonna get any Piis now?

Yeah I have most good green subs, the only essential one I'm missing are Sasuke and Ceres I think. Well and Gronia and Michael if they are good... But I have most of the TPA units.

I sometimes feel like I should just go all green and +egg my green units instead of trying to invest in other units as well. Even thought of sacrificing my Hypermaxed U&Y for Awoken Bastet or Liu Bei... I know I'm a terrible person. But then again I have another max lvl and skilled U&Y so I still could use the team... Even if it's a bit weaker.


BTW. I hope they don't expect us to clear that Uber hard technical dungeon for Piis now

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

The "ancient wonder" appears to be Kaguya-hime

[mike23]

Wow, I've been running it to level up every day since the dungeon rotation. I haven't seen one yet.

I don't want to rub it in, but I got a 3rd when I did another 6 runs last night after my stamina refreshed a bit.

Vishnu Ult looks amazing.

I'm wondering if it would be worth running two at max skill on a Verdandi or GZL team.

Maybe Verdandi/LB/Vish/Vish/GZL/Verdandi?
or GZL/LB/LB/Vish/Vish/GZL

The stamina to max skill two would be outrageous though.

Sometime I hate Verdandi... Providing me with less than 6 green orbs twice in a dungeon... Way to kill my vibe girl.

Got up to the Starlight Sanctuary's 6th level, and got one shot by the big red dragon.

I guess I'll come back later!

 

[jay23]

Cleared Sandolphon mythical today, it took me 1 stone because I got a shitty Haku board(happens very often) on Raphael. Used Thanatos and sun quan on my beelz team.

Probably should have used my healer team instead

 

[LuffyZoro]

So, my current team is LZL/SQ/Valk/DQXQ/Echidna, usually using a LMeta friend, but I'm interested in seeing if there's any other teams I should look into. Also, would it be possible for me to beat Friday mythical at this point?

Here's my up to date Padherder.

Friday dungeon is easy with max skilled Lilith and Echidna and 8 skill boost.

But I cant think of any teams in your box that can do that.



You can try the Zeus teams instead of Isis use Amaterasu

Jpn version changes/buffs.

Awoken Karin gets 1 poison resist changed to skill boost. Other Indian 2.0 skyfall actives change 2 orbs to main color like ultimate evo Vishnu. Apocalypse active adds 1 turn haste. Gadius/Typhon/Zuoh/Ilm get slight attack buffs.

 

[Jagernaut]

Friday dungeon is easy with max skilled Lilith and Echidna and 8 skill boost.

But I cant think of any teams in your box that can do that.

He has Dark Metatron, 2 ultimate Dtrons will give you 6 skill boosts. I use Dtron/Haku/Hanzo and 2 max skilled Liliths for easy clears.
