[hermit7]

All these summer cards are looking interesting but I am going to wait to see. Will probably roll a few times in hopes of getting lucky.

Past few days I have been running green insect Dragon for vishnu skill ups and I have been feeding the fodder to medjedra and sphinx so I can awaken Isis when she arrives.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Stockpiling all these materials is taking up a lot of space. At least I now have 4 Mystic Masks. Time to continue completing Technical Dungeons and get a few stones for Friday Dungeon: I need a lot of Dub-Mythlits... My goal is to reach Hill of Iris's Rainbow in order to drop a few of those there (assuming I'm able to complete this dungeon and those I need to complete beforehand).

A good third of my box is evo and enhance materials, and I'm at like 900 box spaces. No shame in stockpiling things you need.

 

[Nohar]

A good third of my box is evo and enhance materials, and I'm at like 900 box spaces. No shame in stockpiling things you need.

Hehe. I'm nowhere near 900 box spaces here, so my box tends to become crowded rather quickly (230 box spaces ATM).

I'm able to blitz through most dungeons for now thanks to my Ame No Uzume team which is quite efficient, and I have my Durga team for hard ones, but since I lack good subs I get orb-trolled rather often, which can be deadly. So right now I wonder if I shouldn't try to actually farm some subs, even if the droprate is abysmal (including Titan for Ame no Uzume and Vampire for Durga). Kinda need to take care of my Phoenix Knight too.

Boy do I regret using my TAMADRAS on useless monsters (hello Plesioth!). Sadly, I didn't have any fully evolved monster back (let alone an Ultimate Evolution).

I would even argue that this is imperative for the very end state of the game and the skillup process. When you farm the cards but not the evo mats for skillups you wind up wasting tons and tons of stamina chasing after the evo mats you need. If you just stockpile along the way you'll always have what you need when you finally get the necessary skillup cards. The skillup process is still frustrating as hell but this makes it somewhat manageable.

Assuming those cards are a rough equivalent of their REM variants, the summer REM is looking suspiciously not like a trap. Waiting for the other shoe to drop and all the shit cards to get revealed.

Its pretty much guaranteed.

The last 2 times they did this.

Christmas - We had crappy silver mini Chinese.

School - We had crappy silver mini Heroes.

All the gold cards tend to be better than their normal Variants though.

 

[Jagernaut]

The time has come for ... chibi riders.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Who wants to guess who the shiny 7* rare boundary-pushing waifu beyond all waifus is going to be? I'm guessing either Claire or Awilda.

Also has anybody noticed how the number of special monsters in the seasonal REMs has steadily increased over time?

it is ALWAYS a trap.

that being said I use my Chibi Valk and my Chibi Chiyome more than the originals.

(new 20% deal on ios cards in the states via dealzon/ebay today btw)

 

[razterik]

I think there might be some more summer cards to be revealed later today. But hey, at least the trash rolls can be sold for MP now. Only a hundred rolls and you get a free MP card!

These sort of special REMs are where they are going to make money now that the regular REM isn't a star egg trap.

If what I want is good enough, I'm willing to roll a decent amount. And then ragequit when I don't get anything, haha.

I've been running the same dungeon. Only have 8 so far, though. Well, had since I fed them off during this skill up period. No skill up

I think that is where I am too. I'm interested to see if they actually make the cards good enough to roll for.

being US players I'm tired of playing leads that would benefit from unreleased JPN cards and won't necessarily roll unless there is a clear benefit to using the card.

I have a metric ton of the first chibi cards that I have literally done nothing with (except chibi valk)

was chibi valk worth 60 bucks? the answer is a resounding no.


I also wonder if these will be a simultaneous launch or if they will appear in JPN months before the US - its really getting old at this point.

 

[Jagernaut]

2x skill up is on so I did some feeds.

Nim 0/1
Hermes 0/1
Leeza 0/2 - sucks because they are rare drops
Persephone 1/5
Vishnu 4/7 - amazing, only 1 skill up left

I got 5/11 on vishnu which is pretty good as well. Need 3 more for max skill. Hopefully his uevo comes around soon Bastet will be really good with him as a second good damage dealer.

 

[zoku88]

I think I know where my skill up luck went...

 

[Negator]

I dunno if I could stomach trying to skill up monsters in this game without a 2x event.

 

[razterik]

I would hope they learned something from the long delay for the school REM. The JP meta advanced enough that I think it ruined some of the hype for that by the time it got to NA.

 

[Jagernaut]

Yes, with him and Liu Bei on the team the damage will be off the charts. Plus he has a time extend and skill bind resist. I'm missing Awoken Mei Mei to make the team perfect. I have Verdandi but will have to use Leeza, Sasuke, or Cu Chulain for the last slot.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Grrrr ... fell 1 skillup short on both Gadius and Zuoh before running out of mats. At least I'm glad they gave us 2x skillup to clear some space before SV tomorrow.

 

[razterik]

Poring Tower coming back? Masterings for everyone who was waiting, heh.

Uevo news:

Triple row Hermes. Nice attack stat. Blue attackers getting stacked, wonder if it's leading into EVA or something else.

 

[tiltnkirby]

Cool beans, green valk needs some skillin'.

 

[Rixa]

You are talking chibi cards, I guess this what I pulled about 1 month ago is chibicard?

= Shittier version of the original card + all the name is written as lowercases?

 

[Negator]

Cool, I literally just got a Hermes last godfest.

 

[FZZ]

Holy shit Hermes o_0

Guess I'm gonna need to start investing into my Andromeda team again.

I really need to come up with a solid water team.

 

[razterik]

Bunch of new info:
http://pad.gungho.jp/member/150806_summer_island_chara.html

Awilda 4 star, 1 turn 30% shield on 5 turn timer. Uh, umm, good NA water shield dream still dead. Maybe. Hmm.
Oh, same active, just a buff to all pirate dragons. WEAK.

Bikini Valk is MP card, 300k. Easier than rolling a 7*?

PADX has the translation going up:
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=365

 

[tiltnkirby]

That 300k MP is too rich for my blood, I'm out.

 

[Quantum]

- first pay to win mob? (or third if you want to count the "whales")
- with one of the mobs being in the MP section I'm doubting simultaneous release
- why reverse colors on URD? is the skill the same - confusing, does urd become skuld?

 

[razterik]

We have to get MP update first, so it will be delayed at least a little.

Shiva dragon was already pay to win.

I might be okay with MP Claire? Never managed to roll one, this one is better and seems flexible in new ways. Do think she should have a reduced price since she's not as strong as Shiva dragon. But then Neptune dragon was already worse, so...

Blue Urd (Blurd?) is amazing for blue teams, especially Lakshmi. NA has no good combo for Skuld except for the water mystic knight. Most have to eat her hearts or make a solid blue board. Lots of things can convert red to water, notably superstar Andromeda. And glasses blue Urd and swimsuit Awilda makes me think even more that blue attacker is getting pushed.

Swimsuit Pandora is sadly not that great outside a couple places, namely A.Haku. Loss of bind clear is significant.

Summer Gronia still has a dumb hat.

 

[Rixa]

Some progress (finally) and some good drop luck when farming evolvers .

Frozen Soil of Prosell should be easier for my green team that is developing all the time than Vesta Cave.

No one(Almost no one) cared for Urd as a fire/water, maybe more water teams can use her now, like Skuld

Spoiler

HA

, Lakshmi and awoken Neptune. It appears they want to start pushing water attackers now, so maybe Urd and Hermes are the big kick offs to that.

I like the idea of special REMs coming with a special MP monster but a 300,000 MP price point is way too much, maybe divide that by 5 and we'll talk.

Swimsuit pandora rocking that Durga team sub with that orb change and prongs.

Green Sonia: When in doubt, stick haste and a hat on it.

- I think urd is more popular than you give credit, although it may have been a build up to the awakening of shiva.
- water teams that I have tried to make have had terrible support. I am much happier in the fire.

- I hadn't thought of Lakshmi, Another blue lead I tried out and did not like very much.



- Also forgot to mention the change to L.Meta - interesting, have to see if its any better than the L.Meta team I run now or if it is just a way to use athena as a lead when you run out of other Lmetas/valks.

 

[tiltnkirby]

L.meta or blue meta? Because Padx saids only Blue meta got the buff along with d.meta getting an HP boost to dark.

 

[razterik]

Buff is for Bikini Tron only. I don't think it makes much difference since most good blue gods are healer already, but I guess you can put Blodin and Hermes on her team now or something.

Dark Tron buff is neat, but would have to be pretty large to return her to relevance as a leader.

More I look at Awilda, the better she might be. Nice stats for a 4* and those blue enhance orbs are probably a decent whole team attack buff. Wording on pirate dragon skills changed, maybe now a 35% shield? Greatest desire is that it was two turns instead of one, though. Outclassing A.Isis with a 4* or even normal biweekly dragons, hehe.

 

[atlantaguy]

So Ares/Hermes get 3 rows, 1 TPA. Appollo/Persephone get 2 of each. Is there any chance Artemis gets 3 TPA?

 

[Negator]

Ah, the legendary Poring Tower. The one dungeon I always see people complaining about because it's never around.

I'm going to try and max skill everything I possibly can, lol

 

[Jagernaut]

Good Dtron teams already have over 20k hp. Even a 1.25x hp buff would mean over 31k hp and increase the range of hp under 80% significantly.

 

[FZZ]

TPA attacker Sonia?

All according to Keikaku

And all you children thought Verdandi was the future

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Really want summer Urd for my Lakshmi team. Would also give me something that could make use of all those red fruits I keep feeding away for experience.

Good Dtron teams already have over 20k hp. Even a 1.25x hp buff would mean over 31k hp and increase the range of hp under 80% significantly.

Yep, 30k hp plus the built-in shield should give her teams a bit more staying power.

Do we have the list of how many MP we get for selling cards? How much is 300k really? Don't have a Claire but I wouldn't be surprised if I pulled her after spending all that MP lol.

 

[Ducarmel]

Do we have the list of how many MP we get for selling cards? How much is 300k really? Don't have a Claire but I wouldn't be surprised if I pulled her after spending all that MP lol.

- MP can be obtained by selling cards. Only lowest base form is taken into account. Evolving or having plus eggs will not increase selling price:

50,000 MP = Godfest Exclusive 6-stars (used to be 20k like in the video)
15,000 MP = Godfest Exclusive 5-stars
5,000 MP = REM 5-stars
3,000 MP = REM 4-stars
10 MP = Descended bosses
5 MP = Other bosses, such as biweekly dragons


Special cases:
15,000 MP = Red Guan Yu, Light Zhuge Liang, 6* color REM Valkyries
5,000 MP = Green Guan Yu, Green Zhuge Liang, Apocalypse
1,000 MP = Anniversary Tamadra


Normal Collab (no 6 or 7 stars):
3,000 MP = 4-stars
5,000 MP = 5-stars


Collab with 6-stars max (FF collab)
3,000 MP = 4-stars
4,000 MP = 5-stars
5,000 MP = 6-stars


Collab with 7-star max (PAD Academy, etc)
3,000 MP = 4-stars
5,000 MP = 5-stars
6,000 MP = 6-stars
15,000 MP = 7-stars


1 MP = Everything else not mentioned

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=347

it might take a while to get 300000 mp if your non iap.

 

[ccbfan]

Water teams are so freakin had to make.

They have exactly 3-5 rem only subs you need for each team so unless you roll a lot or get really lucky. You only have like 50% to 75% of each team.

Also holy crap of beach green Sonia. Gungho is going to make major bucks on this.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

[J0dy77]

Cool, I literally just got a Hermes last godfest.

That means you're rolling outside of Godfest. Never... Ever... Roll outside of Godfest. EVER!!

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

New bonus in the upcoming JP event: 10x +egg rates in descendeds

I'm not sure how good that is supposed to be

 

[Negator]

But...it was during godfest.

God damn. I have never seen puzzledragonx get slammed so hard. Their traffic must be insane right now.

Who you are trying to build around, Lakshmi, Skuld, Sarsvati?

I kind of given up trying to build a top tier blue team but my Sarsvati is the closest to being done.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Man that Summer Gronia...Green....Attacker...2x TPA...the ultimate Waifu lol.
Would love to get her.

So Ares/Hermes get 3 rows, 1 TPA. Appollo/Persephone get 2 of each. Is there any chance Artemis gets 3 TPA?

I think 2 Row/TPAs or 3 Rows is more likely than another green units 3 TPAs...but we will see. I would love 3 TPAs on her.

Damn son what monsters don't you have? Lol I'm jelly of your Rem luck. That's pretty much the perfect Shiva team according to that JP site.

Shiva, Katsuguchi and CaoCao were all collecting dust before because i had no use for them - thanks to the recent evolutions they are very strong again. When i first started the game i only used to pull Fire/Dark units which i had no use for lol.

You are talking chibi cards, I guess this what I pulled about 1 month ago is chibicard?

= Shittier version of the original card + all the name is written as lowercases?

More or less yes xD
There are some chibi versions who Chibi Rodin or Chibi Valk with quite useful Awakenings though.

Poring Tower coming back? Masterings for everyone who was waiting, heh.

And suddendly im back to considering a Water team now that i can skill up BValk.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Note that Pirate Gronia actually has BG summoning circle as an active, not GD. Makes her slightly less useful to green prong teams.

 

[yami4ct]

Not liking that Summer REM. Shit trap chibis are traps. Reverse Urd might have some uses, but seems situational. GrOnia could be cool, but I honestly don't see her used much outside of the rare GZL team and her own TPA farm. Panda seems weird. A bit easier to activate, but once again seems very situational. Clare seems pretty weak for an MP card, but I suppose the ability to just buy a colored Valk if you need one is nice. D.Valk has always come off to me as the weakest anyway. I hope this doesn't preclude Devil from being added to her double ult, though. I've got a feeling that GungHo's gonna force people to pay if that want that devil typing. Ironically, the 4-star Awilda is actually kind of the most interesting. The 1-turn shield won't fix Blue's problems, but it could help. Those blue resists stacked on her look pretty interesting, though.

Hermes, on the other hand, is very nice. Since I have 2, I'll definitely have to find a place to use him. All those rows. Maybe I'll try to make room on my A. Lakshmi squad or something.

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=347

it might take a while to get 300000 mp if your non iap.

Let's all cling to that pre-dra hope. Do we know how many MP those will go for when they arrive? Really hopping it's in the 10k+ range. Assuming those get given away fairly regularly and become challenge rewards, that should help. You won't be running a Shiva Dragon system, but it should open up the chance to get a MP card or two for non-IAPers if Gung Ho does it right.

- I think urd is more popular than you give credit, although it may have been a build up to the awakening of shiva.
- water teams that I have tried to make have had terrible support. I am much happier in the fire.

Urd is one of the more popular Fire subs in general, not just on Shiva. Almost every mon-red team that I've seen that can take advantage of her, does. Her active is awesome and her stats are decent enough. Could use an Ult, but still a fantastic sub and awesome farming lead.

 

[Negator]

I love how the new Urd is basically B/R Skuld. Should be interesting to see Red get a whole bunch of RCV.
