They did make an urgent dungeon. but it's complete trash, kind of reinforcing razterik's point. The highest level costs 99 stamina, is random between the 5 jewel colors, and has a terrible drop rate even during event rate ups.

Wow, that's a shame.

Well can't wait for that dungeon to hit the US server so we can complain even more. LOL.
 
What exactly would make a good Yomi team with the subs I have:

Haku, haku (chibi), Pandora, Persephone, Hanzo, Hades.

That's about it. My dark sub selection is shoddy. :-[

I suppose Zaerog 8 is farmable so I can probably get one.

Zaerog, AHaku, DIza, both Pandoras, both DValks, D/G Persephone, D/B Okuni, Satsuki.

Those are the major subs I can think of. You could run Haku/Pandora/DIza/Persephone or Zaerog.
 
Second attempt at Hera rush went much better. All hail Bastet.

My second attempt at Hera Rush with Awoken Ra failed at Hera Beorc. I stalled through the light absorb but ran out of hearts afterward waiting for a good board. Hera Beorc changed fire to wood almost every turn so I couldn't activate Ra. If I had a Kali I could have made a good board at any time and bursted her.
 
How many pluses does your team have? I have all those sub's.
Verdandi is at +243 and my friend was hypermaxed. All max skilled except for GZL, who is one away. Having DIza max skilled was super nice, as I was able to use her early on to stall out Hera-Is's bind, and she was still up in time to block the huge preempt.

I keep forgetting I have a GZL on my jp account, the 50 stamina 5x4 board challenge dungeon was kicking my ass all week. I threw every team I had at it Bastet, Kite, Killua, Lu bu, LMeta/Valk.

I pretty much gave up on it, then I saw GZL when I was trying to make an all att team to clear some tech dungeons. All that wasted stamina, took a couple of hits and coasted the rest of the way.

edit: I don't know what day i want to pull

Day 1 I have everything except Leilan and U&Y. I don't mind chines dupes, but I would dread dupes of Japanese 2

Day 2 I want Vishnu but I am avoiding angels 2 at all cost.

Godfest up:


Definitely day 2 for me, another Vishnu wouldn't hurt, Rozuel would be an okay Gadius sub and I could always go for another Verdandi. Seems it will be harder to pull GZL now, glad I nabbed him earlier.

Took another look at the new girls, would be fine with any of them minus Satsuki (dark). Sumire (water) intrigues me as a leader: 20~x for a simple 5 match with enhance, that defensive option (does it stack with shield actives?) and her typing/color gives her naturally high HP.

Day 1 - I want Mei Mei, Kirin, Kushinada, and Izanagi but no Kalis/Norns sucks. Yolo roll.

Day 2 - Angel 2 are meh, already have Krishna, Vishnu, and 2 Durga. Pass.

I looked at the new Godfest exclusives and Kanna seems like a nice upgrade from Athena as a farming lead and sub. Hope I get one.

I'll be skipping these godfests but glad to see the new GFEs in the mix. I hope to have a sizeable amount of stones when a good pairing appears. Maybe even wait when word of the Sengoku series comes to NA. As always, I'll be eyeing the thread to see how everyone's pulls are going. Good luck to all that roll.

Norns and Chinese being separate days makes me real sad. Will roll all my stones on Day 1 chasing MeiMei. I'll have plenty of other chances at Verdandi.

I'd also accept a Haku, Gadius, D. Tron, Gronia (Better some green board change than none), light, green or dark Dragon Tamer 2's or Typhon. I guess Izanagi and Ame might be neat to finally have as well.

So apparently AAma can clear that super hard technical. Power creep is real!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hxxyELF6qKY

Was excited, but then I saw Chibi Valk and A. Venus. A monster I don't have and a collab monster I will never ever pull. Call me when there's an A. Ama team that can clear it sans chibi valk.

Edit:
Watched the full video. They basically played her like Super Ronia. Clearly a long grind to get through the dungeon, but she certainly managed. They got lucky D. Kali showed up instead of L. Kali. Not sure if they could've burst past instant death without the 2x light weakness. I'm always excited when my healers get a boost, so A. Ama is seeming pretty cool. At the very least, she's a good L. Meta replacer.

I was able to make my Awoken Tsukuyomi! I've already thrown her on my Kite team. Definitely an upgrade over Goetia, although lately I've had Susano on the team. Just need to finish awakenings and I think Yomi will be my next 297 target after I finish Bastet (currently at about 250.)

Now I need to work on evo'ing the mats for Artemis. Also need to evo the mats for Yomi, Amaterasu and Artemis on my iPad.

Running the water survey carnival dungeon, I've been able to skill up a few more of my characters. SQ #1 (and almost #2), Hatsume #1, and finally my Kamui.

Achieved my goal of max skilling the Nut on my iPad.

Looking forward to the PCGF tomorrow. I'll probably use all of my stones on it. Main priority is of course DKali, but I'm also hoping for Kanna. I voted for her in the GF survey.

I keep forgetting I have a GZL on my jp account, the 50 stamina 5x4 board challenge dungeon was kicking my ass all week. I threw every team I had at it Bastet, Kite, Killua, Lu bu, LMeta/Valk.

Yeah, challenge 5 is unnecessarily difficult, with the 5x4 board and Ceres being tough. I think I tried it a few times on my iPad with different teams (maybe 3-4 times) before I ended up just using Ronia/Lu Bu and adding Echidna as a sub for use against Ceres.

With my Vegito team I was able to clear it on the first try. I used Vegito's 1 turn delay for safety but I one shot Ceres.

Yeah she's replaced Athena as a farming leader for me temporarily. Need to figure out subs though.

I'm tempted to replace my Urd farming team, but I'm not sure her nice LS is worth losing the TPAs my red team has. Light is pretty weak on that front. I'd be giving up R.Valk, A. Shiva and A. Hino. I'll probably create a secondary A. Ama team to test out once she hits US servers, but I don't think she'll go full time for me.
 

razterik

That A.Ama team could reasonably clear either Kali with 15+ mil burst. Too bad it's viability is crushed by the low HP, even with Sandalphon shield. It dies easily on floor 19 to Hera preempt, Athena's Storm Punisher or Beelzebub board change. Grinding all the way there to die is enough to make me never attempt it. Also weak to high damage from possible spawns on several other earlier floors.

Failed low cost Tengu a couple times with really bad teams, then bought Descend Carnival instead. Easy clear and now one step closer to A.Yomi.

Day 2 of NA Godfest looks decent enough for me to roll. Angel 2 is still bad, but due for a boost soon. I don't have anything from either pantheon or the exclusives beside Sonias.

I cannot fall asleep as I am amped from actually clearing Hera Rush! This was my first attempt ever of any Rush dungeon as I was hesitant in thinking I could get it done. My biggest fears were Hera Ur as I brought a mainly wood team in Parvati and Fatty Metal. I did get the fat one but got through it thanks to Liu Bei. If my phone would cooperate, I could have pics up. I'll try to get them up tomorrow.

I posted a month or so back that I need to have more confident in my team and my own ability to play. I thought I needed to +297 another character or wait til I hopefully pulled Perseus to get through this. After seeing the clears in here, I knew I should at least attempt the run. Glad that I got that out of the way and maybe this will push me to try C9-C10 content moving forward. The adrenaline is still flowing so I'll be watching Food Wars til I pass out.
 

cw_sasuke

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Looks like Ocean Demon is starting tomorrow (PDX) - CaoCao and Muse skill up.

I think i will have to pull one on Day 2 of the GF - maybe i can get a 2nd Vishnu, Skuld, DKali or one of the new GFE. Maybe one pull on Day 1 as well...if i could get Hakku i could work on a A.Yomi squad for the future.
Super, very nicely done. Meanwhile I managed to clear (close call) Challenge nr 4. and got that Tamadra which goes to my GZL soon and then its has max awakenings.

Iam not pulling from PAL event gacha. I rather pull from 200 gacha when Iam nearing max points. I have 21 Dragon plants waiting wood Pengdras (monday technical) and those I use to enhance my wood subs.
Nearing 20 stones, Ill need to check what is GF day 2 going to be, to pull or not to pull, some stones after GF go to increasing invetory size.
Thanks.
GZL max awoken ? Nice...will you give Challenge Lvl 5 shot ? Outside of the Piis it should be manageable and the reward is really nice with a Snowglobe Dragon.

How big is your box ? Expanding it is never a bad investment, imo. I had 2 months where i spend nearly all daily stones on inventory expansion.
Congrats on the clear.

Well when the no shop comes out I guess if you are hurting and want to sell some monsters you can buy jewels. Not worth it imo but it is an option.
Thanks - Yeah for Super Whales the MP shop will be quite the QoL addition heh....for us regular players probably not. It will take a while but im really interested in those Marionette Units - they will quite powerful on mono color teams :eek:
Better combo team?

Bastet

Yomi

Anubis spot can be Dmeta, Dizinami or Dill Sirius. Not sure which fits the spot best.

Does the orb enhance and multiplayer out damage all those tpa?
A Yomi is such an awesome unit....perfection. You should work on that so you can have it ready or nearly ready once she arrives. Endgame leader and kickass sub - couldnt ask for more.
Second attempt at Hera rush went much better. All hail Bastet.
:thumbsup:
I wasn't expecting to get all the jewels I wanted in one day, but for the amount of effort, dungeon runs.......
I can understand the frustration - especially if you need to "waste" that much stamina just to get the evo materials for units you already got lucky enough to pull from REM or buy from the MP shops. Must be frustrating.

Just from my point of view it doesnt seem as badly because the game ass Awoken units and units that need more jewels in a pace where i usually have enough gathered that i can evolve them. Thats one thing i like about playing the US version - you see what materials are needed from the JP release and have a couple of month to prepare everything which is quite the advantage.

Power Creep in the game is real and new units are getting stronger by a month - GungHo has no issues of making "irrelevant" units that were rotten in Boxes like Yomi S Rank leaders with a single update. As the units get more powerful it seems natural to me that you would have to work and invest more to get to their final Evo.

When you are pretty much working on the perfect fire squad with multiple Awoken Units and MP Shop exclusives...i think even whales would get bored fast if they could get Jewels and everything needed for such a team this quick.

You also mentioned average player...i think the average player doesnt even have access to that many units that needs Jewels and if he would be working on such a team he would be happy if he was finished in less than a year.

PS. I havent experienced the JPN version so my perception on this matter will likely change if we get a couple of events without Jewels invades and them introducing even more Units and Evos that need Jewels.

Great to read - congrats on that clear. Also got my first Hera Rush clear in this event. I would have never bothered with it outside of an event...but those rewards always make you wanna give it a try.

Aren't you being a bit harsh? Not many teams can handle Athena's storm punisher or Hera's attack without some kind of damage reduction skill. Beelzebub's board change? Wouldn't you take care of that any other way you'd take care of a board of poison...LKali would be perfectly fine for that and she is a healer type.
 
Guess the trick on Sowilo is simply to do a 4 combo minimum activation - it does ~30% damage so it'll still be enough to knock it below 50% in two turns (assuming I don't get orb trolled). And it'd take a massive skyfall to OHKO. My mistake for trying to activate 36x in my first run.

Aside from stalling on Beorc, Lkali was a lot less stressful than trying to burst the 1st two floors with Hades lol.

Maybe. The dungeon is harsh, so I'm looking at probability of success. The team does have a damage shield, the best one healers can manage. And it's not enough for Hera because team max HP is too low or enough for Athena because there's no way of dealing 9 mil damage one turn and then 10 mil the next. You can't remove anything to slot Light Kali for Beelzebub. Chibi Valk and DQ are your orb combo, A.Venus and Sandalphon are your damage enhancers. Best thing I can think up offhand is Raphael instead of DQ, which might be enough damage, but slows down the team significantly due to his much longer cool down.

I'm trying to point out that the video is an extremely lucky clear. Granted, that's true of most Ultimate Arena clears, but to use this as a metric for A.Amaterasu's abilities is misleading.

Hey guys! If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

I'm a bit confused on the godfest rates. Are all the godfest exclusive series cards equal rarity? I'm aiming for Skuld, but I was wondering if the norn series is super rare compared to the others? I'm thinking of doing 100 stones on Day 2, but I won't bother if the rates for certain series are similar to the 8 star pulls in the summer/beach rem... I usually only roll for those special events and have only ever rolled two godfests prior. Thanks!
 

Ducarmel

Member
The rates are the same unless stated otherwise but you do have to consider rarity.

Urd and Verdandi are 5 star rarity so they have a chance to be pulled over Skuld which is a 6 star rarity card.

Wouldn't you take care of that any other way you'd take care of a board of poison...LKali would be perfectly fine for that and she is a healer type.

I don't think razterik is being too harsh. I run mainly L.meta and a lot of my problems are echoed in the concerns pointed out by razterik. Them being:
1) Lack of team flexibility
2) Skill bind immunity
3) Damage amping/bursting
4) HP thresholds for preempts or other hard hitting stuff.

Running a light based healer team locks you into a lot of stuff that's required to be able to function like DQ, (Chibi)valk and A.Venus. That leaves the last slot needing to cover WAY too much on a healer team: shield, board change, type/color enhance(Because healer damage is so low) that it's almost impossible to gear for these long drawn out and random fight order dungeons. Other popular teams have some kind of flexibility in who they can take into dungeons or at least a 'good enough' alternative. Light healers on the other hand lack a lot of these premium subs, be it due to general power creeping or lack of stats, to consolidate space and no good alternatives to the base of DQ/Valkyrie/A.Venus, and no way to seek help from other colors/typing since they need the whole team to be on the same page as everyone else or damage output/HP levels(In cases like XQ or L.meta) may very too much to be able to survive.

I also wanted to touch upon another point but haven't really gave it too much thought up till recently. That being the heavy commitment they have to do for burst damage when it comes to actives, normally requiring 2 for mild burst and 3 for heavier and depending on the team even more if healing is required. Most of the other teams I have only require 3 or more actives if I really want to ensure absolute overkill or are using a workaround due to a lack of a better sub, but with healers, it's required to tap a lot of your resources every time you need something to die but this can be lessens with some luck or great board management.

Now, with all that doom and gloom out of the way, I wanted to say a few things on what I like about the new Amaterasu and what she brings to the table. I'm glad that A.Ama has two skill bind resists on her, as that was one of the main problems light healers had. Auto healing built into the LS. You are now more freely able to use heal orbs for damage, frees DQ from emergency healing and promotes more agressive usage of DQ/Valkyrie. I hate that L.meta has to use two awakening slots of auto healing that could have been anything else, like skill binds or some kind of damage(I'd even take orb enhances for Venus). 4x at full, 3x while not. I would have liked it if they gave some way of increasing damage when not on full hp, like enable extra combo damage if below full to help recover lost damage but that may be too complex. Being forced to do only 3x pretty much all the time with the only chance at a 4x at the start of a floor is a pain in the ass but as long as you ain't dead, any damage is quicker then Lucifer damage.

Rarity plays into the likelihood of pulling. Skuld is a 6* while her sisters are both 5* so it's more like to get them over her. This is also why almost everyone has multiple red Sonias but almost no one has green/blue as both of those are 6* to Ronia's 5*. Godfest exclusives are also at a 3x rate, this was address in some post by Gungho NA's facebook about a year or so ago during a PC godfest vote if I'm remembeing this correctly as the wording on the exclusives were 'appears at their standard 1x rate' when when their '1x rate' was really just the normal 3x godfest rate.

When they started to flood the godfest exclusives, they started to downgrade the rates on some of them for curtain days, like Odins would be 1x while the rest of the GFEs(Sonias, Kali, Norns etc) would be at 3x. But now we're moving away from that and now whole groups of GFEs are being removed for a day instead of reduced rates.

- its always difficult to roll for specific cards
- as said the rarity will certainly come into play.
- on the PAG forum there exists a database maintained by sunglassesmichael which is a grouping of self reported rolls on the forums.
- link: stats thread
- from that information it looks like a 1-2% for urd/verdandi <1% for skuld.
- 20 rolls will not guarantee a GFE.

that being said, my personal rolls have landed me 2 urd, 2 verdandi and 0 skuld using aproximately 50 pulls when they were first announced.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! That clears up everything! I've always been very confused about the 3x and 1x wording. Also explains why I do have multiple red sonias from last year and none of the other colors. Just thought it was only my luck.

Thank you for this! I realize it will be hard to go specifically for Skuld either way, but regardless I'm also interested in the water gala since I need more water monsters for my teams. I figure even if I don't get any GFEs it would be a good time to roll. Sonia is the only GFE I do have from DAY 2, so even if I do get a GFE that isn't Skuld I'll be pretty satisfied. Assuming I don't get absolutely horrible rolls each time.

Phone is complying so here are the pics I took. I had a feeling Fatty would appear which sucked. Using Verdandi, it gave me a good enough board to clear. I know I used 2x4 and 1x3 but can't remember if it was a 6- or 7-combo. Everything after was cake. Now that I accomplished this, I'll be looking at the upcoming Rushes.

Right on! Yours was one of the clears I had in mind when thinking to finally attempt it. I know we've had some jewel talk lately and that also played a role. I also felt more comfortable going for it now that I am at 200 stam, though stamina overflow makes this less of an issue nowadays.

Hit 100 days! Should be able to manage 5 pulls on Tuesday. Here's my box for those interested, completely non-IAP: http://imgur.com/a/h8fiX

I haven't skilled really anything yet, feels super tedious to do. Threw free Flampy into Belial since he doesn't have any skill up mat yet, some of the farmables have a few levels here and there. Haven't really started plussing either.

lol...did Zhao Yun 3 times to day...and got 3 Meimei invades, always on round 3 where you would fight Dragon Shogun. Did i miss some kind of event ?

Not sure on which day I pull, I would like to get another Norn but prolly wont happen, I have only Stones for 4 pulls so dunno how I do it.

Here is my GZL and here are my Plants waiting for monday Technical. After those are used I concentrade to 50 sta Jewel Dragons instead of plants + Pengdras. As you can
see my inventory size is 265, also my current go to team.

I have Chuchu if I want to replace Echidna at some point (when its evolved & max awoken). Got the mats to evo it but no levels.

I will try Ch dungeon 5 at some point.

I hope you get something good otherwise it might be better just to wait for a better Godfest Lineup. Then again with a bunch of the shitty units removed from the REM it should be easier to get solid pulls.

Very nice run, A.Parvati really gets underestimated imo. I would use her more often if i could Hyper mine but without her max skilled im less inclined to use her. With Piis being that rare it might take a while i can fully embrace her - which is funny considering i spent like 3 months to gather all her evo materials, i blame A.Bastet.
Max skilled Hatsume with 4/15. I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.
Nice - i also had luck when i skilled Hatsume up a couple of months ago. Good that her skill up unit also drops often from the stage.

100 days - onto the next 100 !!

Yeah, its normally a natural progression when you start hitting content you just cant clear without having the actives ready at the right time. I had the right team, all max leveled and couldnt clear content because the units werent skilled up ( well and my orb matching skill were even worse than now)...when i realized how essential skilling up i focused on skilling up units before even attempting more difficult content.

The best units in this game can become nearly useless if not skilled up enough.

PS: Might be a bit till your first Awoken Unit - but i would really save Pii for those units, farming for them is quite the adventure and time/stamina consuming.
This will come back to haunt you in the future
Heh...yeah likely.

Playing PaD for a year i havent used a single non-Green Pii yet and the ones i used were on Bastet/Meimei ...and my Meimei isnt max skilled yet lol.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Heh yeah its no gamebreaker - but a unit like Belial has a long CD to begin with so you will have to stall for his active anyway unless they release his skill up materials (unlikely) or you spend like 10 Piis on him.

Recently have really been grinding skill ups for my various teams. Have gotten one urd maxed and a second is only one off. Too bad that they are changing the rotation on Wednesday.

Also I have decided to work on an awoken Ra team. Used my light snowglobe on light Kali and maxed her and am now working on Ra himself.

Team should look like Ra/Kali/awoken Isis/dmeta/valk or chibi valk who hasn't been worked on at all.

Viable? Not viable? I am a little worried about skill locks with only 80 percent protection. I really need to skill the second valk and ult her.
 
It'll be a while before awoken archdemons appear since a lot of them still haven't gotten split ults yet. But going from 17 to 16 turns probably isn't game changing enough to burn a fairly rare and useful Flampy.

Wish they would introduce non-JPN collab exclusive skillup fodder for Belial, Marine Rider, etc. :(

Amen....Marine Rider is such a nice sub on GZL, just bad knowing that you will never be able to max skill him without Piis.

Perfectly viable. Definitely use chibi Valk for her skill bind resist and triple prongs. Dark Tron can be shifted out if necessary for several different dark subs, but she's not a bad option at all.

Good lord, orb trolled to hell on back in Zhuge Liang. Do just barely enough water damage to get him into dark, but then skyfalls come out of nowhere and put him below 30% and I'm screwed. This happened 5 times in a row. Screw this dungeon.

Well I figured that dtron would be good with Isis in that she is unbindable so i will always have all colors.

Will definitely work on chibi valk I just wish she had a more easily farmable skill up. Her descend should move to normals like Zeus and Hera.

This happened to me as well when Zhao Yun came out...i think this was the most difficult stage for me with U&Y. Unless you have A. Lakshmi or another water team that can OHKO both mini GZL and Zhao Yun you probably wanna use another element.

You could dealy him to make sure you get the kill on GZL if that possible with your team.

I tried that but my team doesn't have 100% SBR so more often than not I was skill bound. Ugh.

I think I'm just going to have to accept that I need to work on some new teams before I'm able to tackle certain descends. Slowly cobbling together the components to the Awoken Bastet and Shiva teams I could possibly make.

Yeah this might be the better approach instead of wasting stamina no. With a A.Shiva or Bastet team you should have much issues.

Now I remember... Getting max skill bind resist was also an issue with U&Y for me which made the stage even harder. Once skill bound you are screwed against GZL since he keeps messing with orbs.... lol.

Edit:
3/6 Meimei invades today.

Gabe skilling up A Meimei a shot and voila... Went 2/4 and was able to max skill her. No more Pii hunting for her.

Went faster than expected, makes me wonder if should have waited for Jewel skill change before using Piis on her. Then again I I lyrics needed 2 skill ups... All 4 skill ups could have ended in +15 jewels or more with bad luck.
