Hey guys, thanks for the invites
EWmof.gif

You Gaffers are really on a whole another level ( at least the ones i have in my friendlist) compared to the random friend i got - i fell like cheating now, love it though xD

And thanks for the recommendations, ill focusing now on ranking up and leveling my units for the next couple weeks and dont do many "experiments" for now, just isnt worth the stamina waste when it could be spend in ranking up. There are of course exceptions like the Dragon Events or farming needed Evo material.

Hit LvL 50 with Zhuge Liang and only need a Dragon Fruit to evolve him. Next up is Astaroth.

More stones! Was a bit afraid we were going to get Tamas for part 2. Looks like I'm going to have 4-5 rolls+ ready for the Players Choice G-Fest. Should be a great one. Might buy 1 more roll just for the hell of it if things go especially well/poorly.

Don't mind poring in the middle of the Survey because I don't have any real reason to run the survey. Went through it for the stone, so now I'm done.

btw. Will there be something like a Holiday/Christmas Godfest in December ? Or will it just be a regular Godfest. Dont know how PaD celebrates or if they celebrate the end of year in some way.

Oh yeah, Christmas is coming up. Means that my one year anniversary of PAD is coming, too. Cool!

To answer your question, I believe Christmas will be just another event like any other holiday. Probably a 2-parter like this one with maybe some snow globe dragon presents thrown in. Could see them giving away one of those big new metal dragons or something crazy like that, too.

These days there are godfests at the end/beginning of every month and in the middle of every month. Presumably the Players Choice Godfest will be this weekend/next week, which everyone is excited to throw stones at.

Speaking of the PC, my my my how the (once) mighty Kirin has fallen!

And I still find it amazing that Yomi, who was my actual first pull way back in OT1 and everyone told me to drop and re-roll (I ended up dropping the game after a few months instead when I hit a wall, hah) has become so heavily regarded. Good ol' PAD!

Okay good colin, just thought maybe there would be an even more special godfest at the end of the year - you never know with PaD what is planned, so i wanted to be sure.

And about Yomi...yeah that was and is probably still is my most wanted for the U&Y team - rolled 3 times on the last PC and didnt get her :-/

Edit:

@raiot
Will do !!
 
Ronia, Dtron, Satan ults might be coming this week. Also got stuff for Boy Gacha and Legendary Hillside. According to UPC the armored knights might get delayed to next week.

Am i wrong or are the Mystic Knights used as Orb changers very rare ? Dont think ive gotten one of them since ive been looking for them.

- Dark teams have been favs/common, somewhat easier to level so people tend to have more leveled dark mobs for subbing.

- as mentioned dark has no damage penalty.

- there are some nifty pandora teams that don't have obvious analogs with other hero leads. My favorite that I've been reading about = pandora/hanzo/hanzo/haku/haku/pandora.

- I'm not sure if stronger is the correct term, but one of the best farming levels for Exp (KotG) has a light boss and pandora teams can crush zeus for farming exp.

The dmg penalty was the obvious one but why not WuKong then? He has the same ninja subs and orb changes to fit the team makeup (i guess the leveling ease is a good point). What I think happens a lot of times is that we get bogged down by these tier lists and friend lists are directly impacted. Everyone's friends list is filled with Ronia, Kirin, Horus, Athena, Lu Bu, so people dont bother spending time with the lesser leads.

I'm going to go hunting for other hero leads, the play style seems fun and different.

Ultimate evo Perseus gets balance type and 3 more awakenings:

Extend time
Skill bind resist (already had one before, so 2 total)
Skill boost (already had one before, so 2 total)

Will all the heroes get the same awakenings? 2 hero leads = 80% skill bind resist.

I have Yamato Takeru and Sun Wukong, really want Pandora because I have good subs for her.

Haha, this was part of the reason why I asked about Yamato. I had a sneaking suspicion that we would be seeing their ultimate Evo pretty soon. These look pretty strong now, interested to see the stat changes and what the other sub types become. I've always wanted Sun Wu Kong for a no brainer clear of Friday Mythical.

I completely agree, but unless they start offering more than two leads per user you become sort of forced to use what is available. If everyone is running Ronia, you start to form teams based on her.

I rolled and was working on an andromeda team. I couldn't get enough people to friend me to make andromeda a viable farming lead so my priorities changed. I would love to finish my andromeda team but its definitely not my goal based on "herd" mentality.

I am trying to make a physical andromeda team and I've been using a Blonia team to faceroll most farming situations.

what I do plan on doing is finishing a pandora team to farm KotG as most of the teams I have now only have about a 75% chance of clearing.

my current, most used teams:
blonia/twin lev/hermes/blodin/seig/blonia - insanely easy team working on multiple subs
luci/blonia/haku/baddie/Lu Bu/Ronia
Pand/haku/haku/hanzo/hanzo/Pand
Lmeta/Sun Quan/WaR Valk/Enc/DQXQ/Lmeta
Andr/Blodin/Hermes/Blue Valk/ORO/Andro(or Blonia)

I think you first work on what you have as a priority, then you branch out.

I'd love to create and play with more teams, in different ways - but each new team takes months to level and learn - which unfortunately is time and cost prohibitive.

(I currently need about 58 Tamadra to complete my current teams I'm playing with/trying out.)

Perseus ultimate got +200 atk and a wood sub color so total attack is increased from 1244 to 1588.

What Sun Wukong team would you use for Friday Mythical?
 
Yeah, leader compatibility is why my personal tier list is based on popularity rather than raw potential. Even if they have symmetrical access to subs Perseus is never used compared to Pandora, Karin is never used even though she's Best Girl, etc

If you go to puzzleanddragonsforum and look through the team building threads you can find many people using less common leaders and send them friend requests. I've added some D/W Batman users from there.

This post covers the downsides of Wukong in some detail. It's a few months old but we do have Apocalypse in NA now, which is kind of like a Light Sonia, so that gap is bridged a bit. I agree there's sort of a self-fulfilling aspect to which leaders become popular, but being able to transition from other popular leaders (Ronia/Haku) into a Pandora team is convenient because it means you don't have to level a full team all over again.

I have a pretty nice Pandora team that I barely use anymore. I don't find the play style very fun. Needing 6 orbs to clear trash waves, storing orbs and losing them to skyfalls, and the need to keep multiple active skills on hold until the boss (such as Haku>Hanzo or Ronia>Hanzo) are issues I had with her. For example, if I'm in a pinch and decide to use Hanzo before the boss (because I already used Dark Valk), I can guarantee you Haku's active won't give me the 8 dark orbs I need when I reach the boss. -_- I usually use Pandora/Haku(and/or Ronia)/Hanzo/Dark Valk/Luci. Maybe if I had a second Haku and Hanzo to make the Pandora dream team I wouldn't have as many problems.

I have - (I have 140 in my FL now) - but when it comes to the ability to run the same dungeon 10-15 times in a row I tend to go for consistency.

if you do a PADx friends search for pandora leads and look at the update time - there are about 30x more available than for an Andromeda.

I would say I have a nice mix of leaders available for when I want to try hybrid teams, but truth be told if you added my blonia/ronia/Lmeta/pandora/haku leads they would represent >75%

I just got Perseus from the REM i didn't know this was a good pull.

Gungho has done a very good job with the Ultimate Evo's for cards that used to be lesser leaders. For me, Horus was the one and only leader I had for clearning anything for years. Now i've got a handful and I like mixing and matching them to the dungeon. Every team has their limitations and strengths, i just like playing in a different way. Loved the match 4 change when I got Ult athena as opposed to match 4/5 colors of burst leaders.

At this point, I would put a better friend leader option at the top of my priority list for game changes. They should also dump the really antiquated "no leader skill" when picking new players from your friend list. Let us build through the game rather than having to hunt for players in other places.

edit: side note rant, damn the spririt jewels are driving me crazy. Cleared Satan 9 times yesterday with no invade and 0-4 on Hera-Sowilo today. Really want to Uevo Ceres.

Does anyone know when the Player's choice will be? Hoping to get my 700 day bonus first.

i just cleared wednesday mythical for the first time, went in with an odd team.

CaoCao lead
D/L Yomi
Uvo Gryps
Hanzo
Dtron
Devil Bastet Friend Lead

80% bind resist 13.5x multiplier(if combos are good) i must say devil bastet is super stronk. boss stage i just blew everything up, one shot them with 2 rows and 6 combos.

Balanced Perseus means the dream of devil Pandora is even closer. If they all have matching awakenings, she's going to be even more op than before. Glad I didn't bother with rolling for Chester.
 
When I rolled for a Pandora before, I got Yamato Takeru and Sun Wukong. I've gotten a Ronia and a second haku since so my team is pretty solid but damn if i don't want a pandora more than ever now.

Did 10 more PAL pulls and still got 0 gold eggs. I'm convinced that the rates for this rare evo event rate is lower than usual.

I'm getting at least 3-4 gold every 10 pull, only problem is they are either dupes of useless mythical mats I don't need or gold non mythical.

whats the point of adding non mythical evo mats to the pall egg machine, they are easy to farm the only reason to pull on an evo mat pal event is for the mythical ones.

Would you rather get more un-evo'd slimes and goblins instead of non-mythical evo mats? At least some of the evo mats are useful...

The good, I evolved Zhuge Liang and he looks quite nice. The bad, in the future I really should check how much the unit will cost after evolving. 50 cost for him is very much, especially compared to the U&Y evo with less than 30.
