Puzzle & Dragons |OT3| Come for the rolls, stay for the trolls

If you are done re-rolling, you are done re-rolling.

Beast rider is a sub for specific teams and a great orb changer.

really not even on the starting tier list, and if your not planning on spending any money - well good luck.

Yah, he's the first five star I've gotten and it's been days since I started rolling. I wanted to actually play the game.

And, welp, just pulled a +1 Marine Rider, that's not bad thing, I think.

You might hit a wall very quickly if you stick with Marine Rider. He's just not very good as a starter pull (bad leader skill, mediocre stats, and a very situational active skill).

Well, I have both him and Beast Rider. Would it be worth it to try and reroll? I have been noticing that they seem kind of weak.

I would reroll for something that's not a Rider. You can also stick with the game, save up stones, and spend all of them during the next Goofiest event.

Are all those characters rem?

What crappy ones are they giving out in a dungeon I wonder.

Actually, cone to think of it, batman collab had some really useful ones.

I will definitely roll the DC Collab REM but I want to know all the skills of the mobs. If they are good (like the Batman REM mobs) I'll use all my stones.

450 day milestone.

They need to revamp the milestones. Not asking for more stones but I would be hyped to get an exclusive card only available through player milestones in addition to stones.

This event looks nice hopefully it can get me away from Monster strike a little bit.

Okay this is already like a million times better than last year's anniversary event

I was thinking it was a bit underwhelming. Where are my Tamdras? Thought they would have went a bit bigger with an anniversary event. We'll have to see what the godfest holds. I won't have any stones to roll in it with the DC rem coming.

Thinking that the Tamadra may come with part 2. Radiant queen is that queen gold right? Wonder what the new descend could be.

Much rather have free stones for more DC collab goodness. I have a lot of things to awaken but I also have 28 TAMADRAs sitting in my mailbox.

I was hoping for Stone and Tamdra bonus like we got the last big event. Also looking for some newer dungeons, just being greedy I guess.

I don't know how long I've been rerolling, but I've finally rolled a +1 Beast Rider. Don't know where he fits on the tier list, but I don't care at this point.

I tried rerolling a few more times and got a +1 Tiamat at level 4, is that worth keeping?

Thinking I might keep him and save my stones for the DC event.

If it's not a 4 or 5 on the list, seriously, don't ask, just reroll. If you're tired of rerolling, then just stop. There's no point in validating the monster you ended up with, because it's not a good leader if it's not on the list. It's maybe serviceable at best.

Some players have been successful and/or lucky in later pulls, but it will be a handicap at mid- to end-game until you DO pull something that acts as a good leader.

Thanks for the list, the only one I saw was in the wiki that only had pictures, which was too annoying to be useful.

Tamadras are worth less now with coin dungeon available. Also new urgent dungeon version in a couple months.

Definitely. Need to get to at least 198 stamina to get advantage of the coin dungeon though. I read a stats of a guy spending 10 stones and got 77 babies, 19 tamadras and 7 of each Odin tamadras.

I am still at 164. Might need to spend future weekends farming King of Gods endlessly.

If you're tired of re-rolling right now and you land a "3" from that list, consider settling for it temporarily and start playing the game.

One, it'll give you a chance to actually play the game instead of the tutorial over and over. Two, free stones are given out for the next week starting tomorrow and a godfest will be coming in a week or so. Clear as many dungeons as you can, hoard your stones and try your luck at godfest. If you still don't get a really good lead, then re-roll during godfest where you at least get 3x rates for a handful of gods.

Zeus descend challenge mode cleared with Satan lead, Lu Bu, and a combination of 4 total Ronia and Haku.

I found it much easier than clearing the dungeon normally.

I disagree with some of the things on this list. Green Zhuge shouldn't be a 3 imo. Even without an optimal grass attacker team he can still make a team capable of taking you through all the normal content and some early descends.

Looking at that, he's rated as a 4 for late game stuff.

Maybe he was rated lower for early game stuff was because of the limited amount of HP people would have in the beginning?
That and the cost required. Red Sonia got a 3 for early game,maybe for the same reason?

Yes Sonia got a 3 for early game. That's fine. But Green Zhuge has a lot of end game potential. Enough to warrant a 4 for starting roll imo. Especially if Red Sonia gets a 5.

I don't understand coin dungeons
Is the payment for unlocking the dungeon?

So like after I paid 10mil for "hunt for tamadra"
it will appear permanently on my dungeon list and I just need 99 stamina to enter whenever?

The dungeon is available for one hour after you pay the coin price. Think of it as a guerrilla dungeon that you can select the time for...at the cost of millions of coins.
 
The coin dungeons are mostly geared towards players who are willing to stone for stamina and have high max stamina such that stoning makes sense. Those are the players who typically have tens of millions of coins saved up with nothing else to spend them on.

That's why some people are upset that Gungho has been taking some of the older survey dungeons out of the normal rotation and putting them up as coin dungeons instead.

At the bare minimum you are exchanging 1 stone for 5 from a selection of tamadras, baby tamadras and odin skill up tamadras. 10 if you have high stamina. It certainly doesn't suck.
 
Coins won't be an issue once they bring over the new difficulty. It's incredibly easy, gives over 600k at 1.5x without Ganesha or Catwoman, and gives decent exp. The main problem with the survey dungeons are that the drop rate seems to be the same as they are outside of 1.5 or 2x drops. I did SSP with natural stamina a couple of weeks ago and got 6 drops in about 25 runs.

They're running old survey dungeons alongside survey 11 right now. I don't know if it's going to be a regular occurrence or if it's just for this event, but the drop rate wouldn't be a huge deal if they keep doing that.

The tamadra dungeons are fine, but the 100% skill up dungeons are apparently terrible and not worth running even if you stone.

Given your stamina is >= 198, even better if you cook up an exp that makes you level up after two runs. Then this is 4 runs total w/ zero stone.

Yeah. I'm just doing those once for the stones. They do give decent exp.

Mechdragon rush is another beast, however. At 1K xp/stamina and 70K gold per run you can almost run it on repeat provided you have the team and enough allies to do it.

Wow..10mil for 1 hour access...
And 99 stamina per entry
Guess I'll pass..

For a lot of the high level and long time players having 10 million gold is pretty common and there isn't much use for it. And when you have over 150-200 stamina to spend it comes it is worth spending a few stones on some of the content.
 
Did Valkyrie get passed over in the balance tweaks? I feel like she deserves a TPA. Also, given that her dungeon is called "Goddess Descended", she should have a god subtype. Though I guess that would make her TOO perfect for an Athena team.

I'm a little underwhelmed by the DC monsters. I think the possibility of a DBZ caliber collab raised my hype too high. I'll probably pass on rolling.
