Box check-in: https://www.padherder.com/user/bjork/

I need to really focus on one team and go for levels, so it's mostly been a team of Kushinadahima/Echidna/Nut/Inazami/Indra that I use with a friend Thoth & Sopdet and it works okay, but not enough to clear high-end stuff yet.

You have a good devil team that has all the components that you need just some levels and awakenings.

Alurane / Haku / pandora/ vamp Lord (Halloween) / pierdrawn ( level and evo to drawn joker) with this you have good amounts of orb changers and is dark focused.

Pair with a ronia or Beelz and you can work your way to descends that can get you awoken mats for higher end teams.

I set this team up, I'll give it a go. I've never really run many one-color teams, other than a water team that I had okay results with. I always feel like I'm missing out by not getting any attack out of the other matched colors, heh.

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what type of team I should be making, which cards to focus on, and what gods I should be looking to get from the PCGF that's coming soon.

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

Finally beat Wednesday mythical! And I got the blue evo mask I've needed for months to evolve my beast rider. Cleared it 2 of 3 times today, so I feel pretty confident I can do it when I have to. I also keep clearing techs and specials I haven't yet, so I'll probably have an extra couple rolls for PCGF. Feels good.

<so many curse words as possible>

I hate water carnival.

- Master difficulty runs over 15
- DeviNyans from Master difficulty 5
- Nut 2/3 after that 0/5 = 2/8
- Tunabowls 7 (wtf).

Got rank increase and was yes 3 more runs
-> 0 DeviNyans dropped

<so many curse words as possible>

Glad there is still some time left and we get 1.5x tomorrow. I fed 8 DeviNyans today and got 0 skill-up...tthat was...unexpected lol.

Uh that was bad
Yes and on saturday evening:

Water Carnival:
Drop Rate x2 Starts in: 3Days 0Hrs 39Mins
The dungeon has not started

Next week is still but skill up rate is awful so better to save those Nyans (if I get them at all) for skill up event...

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what type of team I should be making, which cards to focus on, and what gods I should be looking to get from the PCGF that's coming soon.

The leaders that stand out to me in this list:

- Amaterasu: Awoken ultimate only, potential end game leader if you get more good healers. Likely far off, wouldn't focus on right now.
- Sarasvati: Ultimate her and she will be able to go through a lot of content. Merlin and Tidus are good fits, Rinoa and Harley Quinn can be used temporarily. Ultimately you'll want better some subs down the line to make the most of her.
- Ariel: Will take you a long way once she gets her ultimate form with just the two leaders. Rei/Flash/Squall are all decent, Zidane temporarily.

Focus on one of the bottom two and keep Ammy in your mind for later. Sara is likely stronger right now but once Ariel is ultimate the damage output from her and a friend Ariel alone will carry you and let you start getting endgame mats, so I'd start with that.

For godfest, you'll want to pull Light Healers / Blue Anything / Light Attackers respectively. Not that you get to choose what you roll, so don't sweat it!

 

[Ducarmel]

I think Attacker Amaterasu would be better for now, assuming divusrex can get the mats. Ariel's ultimate who knows when she will come to NA.

Since his box is not that impressive I would say pull everything he has, maybe he will get something better then Awoken Ama

 

[Kyuur]

Attacker Ammy is another option yeah, but that light jewel + gold keeper is kind of prohibitive. I don't feel like Ariel will be too long from now, maybe another month?

But agree on pulling, there's a lot of good stuff. Maybe post your box + pulls again when you've done so and we can point out even more options that become available.

Thank you (and Ducarmel) for the input. It's a bit unfortunate that the upcoming PCGF is lacking blue, but honestly I'll take what I can get at this stage. I'll be sure to update the box once I finish all my pulls.

I did get lucky on some of my pulls during the evo carnival event for the PAL egg event a loong time ago to get a keeper of the gold. I plan on saving that (and all the insanely rare evo materials) for the high priority leads.

 

[smbu2000]

Well I wasn't planning on taking another picture since I posted the S rank on the Shonen Sunday dungeon earlier, but I just had a really nice run on this one! Surprised myself on it. Your average combo can raise your score a lot.

I've been running the dungeon a lot trying to get skill ups. I got my 750 day bonus and pulled again getting Aladdin. I've had no luck on skill ups with him, but I've gotten my Ushio and Tora up to level 4 (max 6) and my Lum up to 3 (max 5). I should be able to finish them off soon hopefully.

Awoken gods tend to CRUSH collab golds... colab golds are good for about roughly 1 month. then the FOTM bonus is over.

I don't know about that. There are some really good collab. golds. Vegito is still fairly strong as a leader and useful as a sub. Gon is also pretty powerful. I use Kite a lot and he can clear a lot of stuff with his 64x attack and he doesn't even have an uevo yet.

 

[raiot]

Yeah and all of these have one thing in Common they are japanese only:/

- Nut 2/3 after that 0/5 = 2/8

My chibi Valk was 1/18 last event during 2x. Today she's 1/18.

 

[razterik]

btw. So about those Skill Bind Delay Tamas. Have they been MP Shop only in Japan so far or can they be farmed via Invades like the other Tamadras ?

Lets say a Boss Delays your units for 3 turns - do you need 3 Tamas on a unit to not be affected or only one ?

Still MP Shop exclusive.

Each latent on a card reduces the delay for that card by one turn. So you would need 3 latents on a card for it to avoid delay in your example. Realistically, most delays are ~2 turns right now, so more than two delay resist latents isn't usually recommended. And you can take advantage of haste cards by placing the delay resist latents on them and then use their skill to reactivate the rest of your team.

 

[Dandte]

From what i read it looks like green cao cao is the choice to make. thanks guys!
btw, rixa wrote that with 9 orbs a 2*4 ist better than a 1*4 +1*5 orb connection.
With Leilan, Uriel and Belial my monocolor fire team can make a full red board. Is it advised to do so or would be a multi combo better?

A multi combo is almost always better. A full red board is only good if you enhance all the orbs and have a lot of fire row enhance awakenings on your team.

 

[coy]

Thank God(fest) it only took 3 blue masks to get LMeta back to max skill. Now to continue being jelly of DMeta.

 

[Goldrush]

Received Thor shortly before they patched in the Awoken version and it just seems like the game is pushing me toward a light row team. Along with Thor, I have Sun Wukong, Venus, and Da Qiao (multiple if needed). That's 12 light rows. Just want to make sure I understand the calculation. Considering Wukong double leaders, would maxing his leader skill with row+additional be equivalent to x16*2.2?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Ugh. 5/48 and still one more skill up to go. I'll just live with the 6 turn heartbreak until the next time Valkyrie Descend returns. Not sinking any more stones into this.

You have the right idea. But you'd still have to factor in the bonus multipliers for combo count, extra orbs, enhanced orbs, etc.

If you are using TPA awoken units then 2x4 etc is better.
PADX TPA

Name: Two-Pronged Attack
Effect: Eliminating exactly 4 connected orbs of the same color for 1.5x ATK on 2 enemies

Aww that sounds horrible .

 

[cw_sasuke]

Another week, another new GFE card

Sylvie (6-stars base)
Dragon / Attacker
Active: Change board into Wood, Light, and Heal orbs. 1 turn Haste.
LS: 2x HP and 2.5x ATK to Wood attribute cards. 1.3x ATK to Wood cards after using a skill.

My chibi Valk was 1/18 last event during 2x. Today she's 1/18.

Ouch...thats just brutal - especially since its such an essential but basic skill. Game can be cruel sometimes.

Perfect thanks, so its just like i imagined. I think i might have to buy some of them ...just have to make sure i chose the right units first. A. Susano and Meimei would be my Top contenders right now.. esp. Susano since i also use him on my Sakuya team.

Shit is expensive though.

 

[raiot]

Any idea if we get a godfest this weekend?

 

[Dandte]

I just realized europe won't get the buy 1 get 5 value pack

instead they were hinting this

Puzzle & Dragons Europe: Not for Thanksgiving, but maybe Father Christmas will have something special...

You have lots of green orb changers and GZL for burst

 

[razterik]

If we have to wait till Christmas in NA for 10x, I'm gonna be so sad.

JP PCGF
http://pad.gungho.jp/member/7ttl6000m.html#no3

New Green GFE included because people wouldn't roll otherwise. Solid lineup, I'm rolling. Also, holy hell, is this the first time Urd made it into PC!? Poor Skuld, even JP hates blues now.

 

[J0dy77]

1060 days of non-iap and I finally beat my first challenge 10 dungeon (zero stones). First time I've ever felt like I have a truly overpowered team. Kirin is godly!!!

 

[linsivvi]

I happened to have $1 in the wallet so I used the special deal to buy 5 stones with it.

I'm no longer non-IAP lol!

Congrats what are your plus eggs looking like on this team?

I should save my stones for Japanese 1 GF really want susano and yomi.

 

[Kyuur]

Another week, another new GFE card

To be expected, the new Dragonbound to match Awoken Freyja. Dark and Fire next to round off the series. I have to say art wise I don't like this one as much as Light/Water.

What do you guys think of her + Freyja for green row leaders? Last time I checked these Norse + Dragonbounds are ranked quite highly as leads in JP.

I'm close to hypermax on the team. I fed my 297 beelzebub to kirin, my 220 echidna to d. Kali and 150 lubu to yomi. The 90 eggs from the challenge rewards went to yomi. Only need about 350 more. Been waiting for an OP team like this.

Dark and Fire Dragonbounds already exist, Typhon and Gadius.

 

[Ducarmel]

We got 2 dragon callers for RBG. I don't think its a stretch to have 2 Dragonbounds. But a second dark Dragonbound would start a new trend, because so far only one of each for light/dark

 

[Kyuur]

Dark and Fire Dragonbounds already exist, Typhon and Gadius.

I guess you're right, but will they leave Loki and Freyr without a complimentary GFE leader? Maybe we'll get 2 other gods with the req. leader but a different active, since Typhon and Gadius have that the same as the others.

 

[FZZ]

Is the PCGF not going to be this weekend or what?

Probably going to have a late announcement. I am expecting it to be from the 28th-29th.

 

[coy]

Just waiting til after we're fattened up and consumerism is taking over us.

 

[razterik]

I'm back in the saddle again..

Can't believe this worked, haha. I seriously flubbed a few floors, including eating 10 turn bind by Athena, which should've been resurrection because she was below 10% health. Dark Trons were more than enough to finish her, thankfully, because her Starburst and full health is almost unwinnable condition. Spent one stone the 2nd turn against Goemon, then a while bouncing his health back and forth. With better play, I'm sure this could have been zero stone.

Of course I gave up and wasted two stones clearing Challenge 9. Fagan, Defoud, and Voice back to back is nasty. Well, I'm done and these rogue dungeons can go rot.

 

[FZZ]

Looks like we got the FotNS data downloaded

Probably getting it right after this collaboration and after PC Godfest

Idc I'm gonna buy Yuria from the MP shop.

She's waifu status

[razterik]

Water gala again. Heh.

 

[jay23]

How many times are you guys rolling?

I remember my first pcgf I had around 150 stones saved up. Hoping to have enough for at least 7 rolls this time around.

Water gala tho? Eww

Too bad Ilm didn't make the cut.

Rolling 3 times probably.

I have most of the gods on that list and don't really want any specifically. Would like a Dkali but who wouldn't, and aside from that maybe the new GFE gods. Also want the previous Dragon callers, only have sumire so manna and Satsuki would be nice but we shall see.

 

[Negator]

oh damn. Did not expect to see the new GFEs added to this godfest. Thought GungHo was going to GungHo. Might roll a pack.

Blue = Would not mind a dupe

Crap. Maybe I should not roll after all lol A big problem is that the ones I don't have, I want very very badly.

 

[Kyuur]

Water Gala is actually really nice for me. I could really use Famiel and I&I on my U&Y squad to replace Aquaman and Alfecca.

Other wants this GF: Shiva, Kaede

Edit: Thought the above was a cool idea, did my own!

The non-IAP life. I'll probably only get 4-5 rolls max.

 

[linsivvi]

I only have 7 of these so I'll be using all my stones. 6-7 rolls.

 

[ZeroAKA]

13/30 would be new for me, and I'll have 15 rolls saved up for PCGF. Not sure how many to go for...

 

[Rixa]

Not expecting to get anything major from PCGF, but I like that its Water Gala.
Going to roll 4 times maybe 5 times if I get enough stones. I dont have many of those gods and if I get dupes I can use them or sell (Verdandi would be my 3rd).

After bitching 4 days RNG decided to stop bitching.

I was prepared to use 120 sta for 1.5x drop rate in WC and wasnt expecting major DeviNyan drops. But I got 5 DeviNyans in 2 runs and skill upped 2/5. Whole this event I had better DeviNyan drop rate at lower difficulty dungeons. Glad its done and I have 4 turn orb maker. It took over 700 sta to hunt for skill ups.

Ok, since I had excess stamina and I wasnt sure what to do. For the laughs lets test my not finished A.S. team...

Got the stone too, something that my wood team variaton couldnt do (didnt even try).
Unit levels:

- A.S. 93 sklv 1 +2
- C.C. 38 sklv max +0
- A.H. 25 sklv max +1
- DHS.L 42 sklv 1 +10
- AWD.A.78 sklv 5 +1
- A.S. 99 sklv max +101

So easy, time to get more levels and Jewels for my dupe Leilan to get it Awoken.

Thus those things done it was this mornings (07:00 my time) Tamadra Retreat time. I knew that I have time for 2 runs and if rng starts bitch me I can use 1 stone.

Other run dropped one Tamadra and last wave was Chibidra, no need to use stone:
3 Tamas, 4 Babies, 1 Chibi. Maxxed Snow White with BT (again) 1/2.

Praise the RNG gods.
