Saw this posted on Reddit - Current tentative UVO voting stats
Looking good cant wait for Verdandi Uvo - what can we expect ? 2nd TPA should be a given, maybe another +Skill and Fingers.
Or will this be another Ronia situation were she gets her UEvo to quick so they cant make her much better ?
Edit: As explained earlier this arent official stats, but based on surveys.
Nice, congrats !!
Vritra Uevo will be a nice fit for your Ronia/Devil team.

I like to thank you all again. Was fun and scary event. To know when to use Echidna (1st pic) that its not too late. I think I know where to use Dark Jewel (4th pic).
Nice, congrats !!
Vritra Uevo will be a nice fit for your Ronia/Devil team.
Dont think thats likely looking at the other GFE Uevos. They keep their type/active skill from what i saw - so God/Balanced wont change and she should get additional Awakenings unless im missing something.
Looks like you are right, I never noticed that pattern before!
In that case, TPA for green and hopefully time extends for thematics (given that they are Norns of Past/Present/Future, time related!).

I doubt they'll change her typing. My guess is she becomes unbindable and gets some kind of damage boost tacked onto her leader skill.
3 Awokens more and one spinner more to picture
.So do I get it right. In this team Vritra first tosses the skill that does damage + gives that 1.5x atk to dark. To counter that boost, in the same turn King Baddie does skill and I have 3x atk for Devil Type for 1 turn?
Thats what I was trying to tell
. Vritras skill boost aint so good compared to KB, so to change it for better use KB in same turn after Vritra.Thats what I was trying to tell
Just use Vitra for the midboss and save KB for the final boss. Vitra only does 10x atk at full health (max lv Vitra does 16,250 damage at full health) so it's pretty useless to use before KB.
Edit. Or use Vitra after a boss hits you with a 99% gravity for maximum damage.
Reached Starlight Sanctuary, and got thoroughly trounced by Meteor Volcano Dragon on the 6th floor.
I guess I'll stick to Hyperion Lava Flow / Oceanus Falls / Kronos Forest in order to rank up and slowly level-up my monsters. That, and/or I try to complete Blazing Hell to drop Naga and Mystic Knights (necessary to skill up Homura and Echidna).
Frankly, I'm not quite sure on what I should focus right now. Monster box and teams for those interested in taking a look. Also note that my Durga Team is useless right now, something which annoys me to no end: I no longer have any Durga friends (one unfriended me, three I wanted to send an invite to had their friend list full, and the last one I managed to actually invite changed his leader to something else). And I'm playing on the EU servers, making finding Durga players all the more difficult.

Just Uevoed my second L.Kali with my Gift Jewel. Her art is still the best thing in this game. As a sub, her Uevo doesn't rally add that much. Extra skill boost is nice, but not earth shattering. Worth it for the art.
Down to 1 Gold Keeper now. Guess that means I have to actually learn how to run Keeper of the Gold. That 7 million HP is terrifying. How do people even do that thing? Just rely on unconditional teams with delays?

^Tuesday dungeon is easy if you meet the hp requirement and can stalll for skills and burst at the right time
Build an awoken Shiva team you have 1 of his best subs URD and a really good sub in Chiyome, and an ok sub with Laila. Fourth spot can be Echidna, or D izanami for utility or if you want another orb changer Titan or Homura
You have phoenix so that headache is out of the way, get the jewels and thurgia, even if you have to spend your stones trying to get them it will be worth it.
Durga is strong but she is out classed by to many other gods to have a decent following, Awoken Shiva is just on another level, I dont know how healthy the EU servers are but i imagine a decent amount of people probably use Shiva over Durga.

Beelz/ronia is where it is at. They can tank any hit and heal easily. Add in a sub to delay the gold keeper past his 3 turn dark absorb and you're set.
That's definitely was I was thinking. With all that HP, the early floors are nothing. I'm just afraid of the prospect of bursting down 7 million HP. Man that's a lot.
This is my Gold Keeper team. I have enough hp to take a hit from light and dark keeper without healing. Then I wait out the dark absorb (no delay needed) and use Ronia + mini Lu Bu + Beezlebub for a one shot kill. Double dark damage vs light and 2.5x atk boost make it easy if you make 6 combos or a 5 combo with rows.

The survey itself doesn't end until the 20th, and the next livestream hasn't been announced yet. It's actually kinda weird, GungHo JP has really pared down on the number of livestreams they do ever since Max Murai failed on Zaerog8.

Love the PAL point increase. Valk changes are all pretty much perfect. I expected them to screw over D.Valk by not giving her Devil, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Super super happy for Attacker R. Valk. My Urd is so happy. Kirin getting Dragon sort of makes sense Mythology wise, but meta wise is pretty LOL.
Ranking dungeons look interesting. Light/Dark sure get screwed for free pii's, though. If the rumor that the High Premium Dragon sells for 10k is true, though. That really shifts the MP game. I might actually be able to get in the Top 30%, so MP Monsters all of a sudden look way more attainable.
Took advantage of the Paypal iTunes 20% off and bought a $25 gift card to turn into stones. Been having a shit week, so I'm up for a (terrible idea) distraction. Did 3 courtesy summer rolls.
Chibi L. Meta
Chibi Kirin (Dupe)
Chibi Tsukuyomi
L.Meta's TPA is kind of interesting, but she seems pretty lackluster overall. Same, but even moreso for Tsukuyomi. Kirin is nice for low cost, but I already have one. Not gonna throw any more in since special REMs are traps. Some good stuff here, but nothing I would find all that useful aside from Claire and maybe Panda. Even then, those aren't really game changers for me. Gonna save my other 20 stones to roll for a Genbu or Verdandi once star eggs go.

2 Hypermax monsters so far, Urd and Shiva. I have ~+289 sitting on temp monsters. I'm not sure who I want to hyper next, maybe L.Kali or A.Ra.
Shiva is my go to descend/challenge team and Urd is for easy farming, etc.

7x6 boards require a full line of 7 to get the row enhance boost, right?
I assume so. Smaller boards scale down, so I can't see them not also scaling it up. Larger boards definitely favor TPAs. More room for the orbs you need to drop and more room to fit in TPAs.
Kirin gets all the types! (And still isn't good, haha.)
Voted Kirin, Blue Sonia, and Gaia. Cause whatever, it doesn't matter.
Dark Valk getting Devil type is a bit of a blow to people who bought/buy bikini Valk for 300k MP. Buff please.
Ranking system is percentage based? Noooo.
This is super dumb for so many reasons. The current S rank system was fine since it was points based and everyone could gain the reward with effort/luck. Now we're turning a cooperative game into a competitive one. Top percentages are going to be owned by megawhales with multiple 300k MP cards, everything maxed skill, all +297 and decked with full latent awakenings and/or people who have super pro orb skills that beat things with Anubis and no subs. Hooray for rewarding the players that need it the least.
Not to mention you have to use your own stamina to attempt the ranking dungeon. Bad luck run or had an emergency come up halfway through? Too bad, spend stones for more stamina to try again. Have a really good run, but then later get knocked out from your percentage bracket? Spend more stamina and stones to try to get back in.
And none of this even touches how much this encourages people to cheat the game further. JP just had a banwave for players cheating through Ultimate Arena and other issues. Now you're giving enticement to players to cheat so they can earn competition rewards they otherwise could not. GungHo has to spend time weeding out every cheating player from the rankings each time or else they are screwing over the players that pay the most into their game. LOL NA version who has never banned any cheaters to the best of my knowledge. Either ranking system never comes here or they have to dedicate way more resources to keep much of the playerbase from going cheat crazy.
Ugh.

Just realized the consecutive login bonus increasing to 1,000 points is kinda crazy since that's five rolls per day. Especially with how recent JP events have made it so you ONLY roll evo mats or enhance mats.
I did Take dungeon for the red jewel which I used to awaken Horus. Then I took Horus into Kaguya dungeon for the green jewel I needed to awaken Mei Mei. I feel so accomplished! This has been a real fun day witnessing the progression and being rewarded for completing the tasks put forth in front of me.
As for the update, I am liking the sound of the Ranking Dungeon. I'll be happy with whatever rank I can achieve, but I'll be doing my best for that top 30%. I'll be spending time in Puzzle Challenge to practice in a similar environment.
Edit: Oh jeez I stupidly thought this was with NA in mind as well. Of course we aren't. Nevermind as I rage deleted my JP account a long time ago.

Well, Theurgia drops in a Descended dungeon. I've never been able to complete a Descended dungeon, and according to Reddit it is an hard one. It doesn't seem like Awoken Shiva is a possibility at all for now. At my current rank and with my current teams, I don't think I can clear those dungeons.
I'll try to unlock Awoken Shiva, but that will definitly be a long-term goal, not a short one.
That being said, I've been able to complete the Legendary Dragons' Footprints dungeon, and dropped Mechadragon Valhalla, Ice Dragon Niflheim and Flamedragon Muspelheim. They don't seem that useful though, sadly (late-bloomer, dragon type, no orb changing skills).
I'll try the Sky Dragons' Domain, but the "No Recovery" is gonna be a problem. I wonder if I need to bring a Heart maker.

You don't really need A.Shiva at rank 123 anyways, people were using R/D for like a year beforehand as top tier.

Gotta agree with razterik about the ranking system. Seems to heavily favor the paying players too much.
I cleared it with 2 Verdandi leaders on my main acco. My alt (EU, your friend) is raising levels to evoed Verdandi & going to fully awoken it in the coming days. Not sure if its any help for you tho :/.
Those dragons that drop are good exp for units (about 25k each).
Edit: If its ok for you, I could toss next BF (when ever EU gets it) to your direction.
Isn't that the case for most high end stuff in the game? They are catering to whales with the game and are trying to get people to become whales.
MP shop or this ranking systems aren't really stuff I will bother with because I'm not the audience.
Whales trying to outwhale other whales is the goal here. Nothing to see here for us xD
Of course I'm only talking about the Top rewards.
I agree this fully. Its the GungHos way to get more value from whales. Meanwhile F2P / low IAPers get some benefits from it too. But to get top rank you need top money. Same system has in Soccer Spirits colosseum.
Honestly this is the fairest tournament system I've ever seen in a F2P game.
1. Most other games I've seen are cumulative score not best score. So whale just iap their way into the top spot by repeating the dungeon over and over.
2. The ranking is percentage not number. So if the game is popular and have millions of players, you can still get a good rank.
3. As long as you're in the top 50 percent you get a good prize.
The only bad thing about this ranking dungeon is you only get 5 minutes which is ridicules. The game moves so slowly and combos take so long that you barely have anything to plan or stall.
Also I wonder how the rankings get done. Is it going to be everyone who tried the dungeon or everyone whose completed the dungeon or everyone whose completed the dungeon with a score. Cause if its the later then take everything I said earlier about it being fair and throw it out the window. Depending on the difficulty and length of the Dungeon (Especially if its Zeus Vulcan Descend as the name implies with 10 levels) then the amount of people that will actually get a score will be extremely low.
