Oh, you didn't know that? Now you know where your 3 Kalis come from. They where the MP shop exclusive for Halloween!
Menace in different colors is cool but their hp (besides Alraune) is too low for REM mobs and they are not good leads even for beginners IMO.

Mechanical Star series??
Also, are all those GFE monsters worthwhile?

Constellation pantheon already? That seems a lot faster than normal :lol

Hmmmm, might have to roll a couple in that godfest. Day 2 since I have no heroes and I'm of the opinion that no kalis = no roll. Is the constellation series any good? Haven't heard much, but Castor looks like a good sub for a few teams.
Ok so everyone keeps going on about Kali. As I understand it she's a Ra team sub with a full board change like Fat Chocobo and Devilits. guaranteeing max power via Ra's LS if you can solve the board. Is there anything else that makes her so desirable besides better stats than the above?

Asides from great stats, she also has very good awakenings, and Dragon typing has limited use on certain teams.

I didn't know jewels invaded the coin dungeons. Bought God Rush for the clear stone and to use up some idle stam. Got a Leilan invade. Also got the S-rank TAMA. If PADX is correct then there should also be a chance for latent invades. If these dungeons also count toward 10x descends, that would be incredible, being able to get jewels, latents, and +eggs all from 1 dungeon.

Jost awoke one of my Haku's and I am absolutely crazy about my Dmeta team right now.
Dmeta, A haku, DD Haku, Satsuki, hanzo
Just easily clearing so much content and effortless farming. Hoping to get a Persophone sometime.

Jewels have been in the Rush coin dungeons a long time. God is always Leilan invade, Hera is Karin, Dragon is MeiMei, Devil is Kirin, and Yamato is Haku.
I think the latents are only there when the Rush is featured in the daily dungeons during latent invade events. Even if they do show in the coin versions, they don't overlap with jewel invades.
Rush dungeons, like all coin Descendeds, do count for the boosted rates whenever 10x arrives. This is actually really nice when the 10x coincides with 2x or 1.5x coin dungeon drop rates, but that's not likely happening in NA since we never get those.
Meh, 14% on Ranking dungeon. Guess I'll have to try again near the deadline.
did 28% without making a specific team, just took a poison. probably have to think about it - might mess around to see what I can do.

Ah okay. Was wondering if they rotated. Good to know they're a reliable source for specific jewels. 14%? What team are you running. Just did my first run with Shivagon and only managed to make it into the 30% bracket. Is it worth going for higher combos over time? I was going for combos but noticed I got way for points for time. I haven't read up on any optimal strategies, and I guess previous strategies were nerfed with GH penalizing button-pushing clears.

My Ra runs for Ranking have been misery. I have had board after board after board where 5 colors were not possible. I only have two board changers. May need to consider a new team.
E: Can this be done with a DMeta team?

Ran my normal ShivDra and dropped Valk for Lilith. Debating about taking Rodin instead. My ranking has actually gone up into single digits now that more people are attempting.
Combos are worthless, take too much time, especially with slow skyfalls. Damage is capped, so no real bonus to going crazy there. Just be as fast as possible, time matters most.
Nic, rainbow match teams for this stuff are terrible. Pandora or even Ronia will give better scores. Dark Tron has to take hits and pray for no heart drops, wouldn't suggest it.

17.1% (s.dragon/urd/ares/lilith/yamato/s.dragon)
- used lilith, urd and ares - 4.9 combo avg, largest damage 4.9 mil
- not a special run.
probably can do much better.
/raz - time - really?
- rodin wont be ready by turn two - hmm - maybe I could get it by turn two...
edit 2: lol my rank is moving up too now that more people are trying
edit 3: using Razterik advise ran for speed, no combos - 8.7%

Okay. Second run 12%. Could've been higher but stupidly forgot to activate Rodin on flr 2 and wasted a turn. Running
Shivagon
Yamato
Ares
Uriel
Rodin
Shivagon
A Shivagon activation gets Rodin active by turn 2.

Rodin means you have to tap ShivDra, which takes time.
My run was terrible play, my average combo was like 3 or something. I don't care as long as I stay in top 10%, but I will probably have to make another run near the end unless all of NA is as universally bad at this game as I am, heh.
Here comes Santa Claus..

I'll probably only run it again if I drop out of single digits - totally didn't think of using shivadra to activate rodin.

Honestly I just replaced Leilan with Rodin on my standard Shivagon team to deal with flr 2. Didn't put much thought into it. But I just realized I can swap out Uriel for my second Rodin and not even have to activate Shivagon. I'll try it later when my stam refills. Too busy to refresh and make use of a full bar right now.

Thanks - Ronia team gave me a POSITIVE score. Still need to work on quick clearing, but 35k is MUCH better than -100k or whatever I was at before.
E: Got my DMeta team to hit 92k for top 22%. I can shave a few seconds I think still.

11.9% with Ra Dragon. Comboing by the seat of my pants. I'll need to try Shiva Dragon, but my red cards are so underdeveloped that I doubt I can outdo my Radra team with them.
Not really a fan of how the ranking dungeon encourages speed. I'd rather see a turn timer or something. It feels like I'm almost being punished for getting high combos, given that they eat into the time.

Theoretically, the buffed average combo count makes up for it. Not sure by what magnitude though.
Re did the rank dungeon and got around 13th percent.
Ran it with shiva shooting for 4 combos, have Lilith on my team up turn 2 (when it's needed).
6 combo on Hermes, need a decent combo on floor 5, 6 on Zeus and he is dead.
Forgot to pop Lilith first turn and still did pretty well, could probably break into top 10 with a decent run but I would be happy too with the second tier.

22% with shiva team (subbed in awoken Ra for floor two and the -5,000 points from his use)
I could likely do better, but it would take some work!

Going to run dungeon later today few times, hoping for positive points 
. My Thursdays are Trifruit farming, kinda good Thursday, managed to get 3 Green Trifruits with natural stamina.
It seems that Ranking Dungeon is again "New" status for me, thus getting one more stone from there.

Iam going to make a christmas present for myself. Pulling 24th for around 8-10 times for those silvers. Not touching for Godfest this time.

Hopefully should be good enough to stay in top 10%. Looking at mike23's post, looks like going for higher combos isn't worth the lost time. I did a full 6-combo even when poisoning flr 2. All those seconds add up. But I'm not going to waste stam trying to better my score unless it looks like I'm in danger of falling below top 10%.
For weeks, my alt was in situation "Cant get wood rem units for Verdandi". Then PCGF I managed to pull U&Y (dupe). Today came exp carneval, had 28 pulls and managed to pull HMDragon.
I decided maybe my alt would be good account to learn comboing with U&Y. Reality strikes back, I dont have good Water / Dark unit. Quick rethinking, lets change leader. Now the fun starts...

Still needing lots of awokens & Beast Rider needs to be uevoed and not sure if Chrono Turtle is better choice than WDS (which needs evo).

Might he be good for Dmeta autoheals aside?
I haven't been playing this game much over the last several months, mostly because I feel overwhelmed over not knowing what team(s) I should make. I've been logging in and making pulls on the gatcha when I can, so I have a decent amount of units, as well as evolution materials to evolve [and more Tamadra than I know what to do with], so those shouldn't be an issue. I just don't know what to focus on. So many of my monsters can be ultimate evo'd, I'm just waiting to see which particular team/build I should work towards before I spend any of them.
Here's a link to my PadHerder:
https://www.padherder.com/user/chrono01/monsters/
I was thinking of maybe making an Urd team? I know she has more flexibility with subs, and would pair well with the many Shiva Dragons currently being used. I'm open to other teams too, of course.
Really, I'm just looking for something that's relatively easy to use for standard farming/easier descents, until I become more accustomed to the game again. I've been away for so long.
If any of you could give me a recommendation on a team I can put together, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Well I pulled in the new GF and I got another 6 star GFE on my iPhone!
...
Rodin #3...uhhh...
Still haven't max skilled #2. I'm contemplating selling him for MP. 50k MP would be nice. He's my 5th 6 star GFE...3x Rodins, 1x Blodin and 1x Gronia.
If I sold my new Rodin and Gronia, I'd have a good amount of MP with what I already have. I could possibly afford another Yomi Dragon...
Speaking of which, I just need 1 dark orb to uevo my Yomi Dragon (I only need 1 more badpy as well thanks to the new Challenge Dungeons.)
I'm missing Izanami on my iPad. I just need to wait patiently until it appears again... It was a PIA getting the two devilits I needed (1 for the uevo and 1 to uevo Zaerog). I tried the Friday dungeon like 10 times and I had 2 devilit drops and a lot of angelits that I don't need. I have about 25 now and no use for them. I could use a lot of devilits to try and skill up my 3rd Satsuki when the change occurs again.
Lucifer doesn't look bad. Now I'm regretting not giving him all of those skill up drops I got from running Kanetsugu non-stop during the last event. I wanted the plus eggs for other characters.
