I've been doing the same! Really love the influx of xp that comes with that.

Incidentally, I have three light mobs I want to boost but I'm not sure who I should focus on first:
Amaterasu, Thor or Dragon Rider Arthur.

Leaning towards Dragon Rider as a possible Verche replacement for my Kirin team. Any thoughts?

Depends on the team you're working on. I've been working on Thor for my Athena team. Great sub.

Are there any solid builds out there for genesha and legend - having read PADx there aren't too many discussions on it - just the ares x ganesha build.


I was crushed with ganesha and kush, although I made it pretty far - just way too dependent on skyfall for farming - and while there is no bonus multiplier to the coin dungeon failure stings.

edit: final KotG team:

Lu Bu, CDD, d/d Haku, d/d Haku, Baddie, Ronia.

floor 8 - can tank a hit then haku - 2 tpa or 1 row = dead timat
floor 9 - lu bu + ronia = 1 row is enough, or 2 tpa.
floor 10 - haku +/- CDD + baddie = 11+ million damage on Zeus

only 1 fail in about 12 runs due to orb management before floor 8 - very dependent on dark orbs/red orbs

with full investment in team I don't think it can be trolled.

This is my Weekend dungeon team.

FUCOpUu.jpg

I originally had triple max-skilled Echidnas in it for infinite delay/Kushi loop. It was virtually invincible once your skills were charged, but it was defensive overkill and didn't have good survivability pre-charge. So I replaced an Echidna with Grodin for his stats and skill boosts to make it easier to survive
until charged. Once charged, it really isn't any less safe than triple Echidna version.

Is it too early to start thinking about ultimate evolutions for 3 kingdoms series?

I just started playing this year so I don't know how long they usually take.

Here's my weekend dungeon team:

gRml2eY.jpg


Friend is either uvo Kushi or Bastet.

I sometimes get knocked out when I do a shitty job matching (usually because I'm too tired), but when I'm awake I've had good success.

Hera is there for stats mostly. Helps me survive those shitty matches. ;)

Difficulty does matter in both cases.

Invades appear more often, at about 5% on Legend and decreasing from there. Not sure if the addition of Mythical level increases the odds or if it becomes the new 5% and pushes Legend lower.

Rare spawns are quite uncommon below Master level unless they have a set floor. The higher up you go, the more often they occur. In my experience farming Dark Insect on Mythical in JP, they show up about twice per run.

I get that people want one or two of the drops but this ultimately feels like a total troll fest.

when I read the announcement I was actually thinking if its the silver dragon machine and not the gold dragon machine does it cost 1 or 2 stones less?


as much as I really like this game and as much as both I play and am addicted to it, I see me gravitating to other games due to the lack of both skill ups, awakenings and experience for multiple teams.

I can throw 60 bucks at the game and really have accomplished nothing.

for as much as I've spent on this game I really have nothing at all to show for it - with most games its the same - I'll buy almost every release on every platform including xbox one, ps4 and pc. a lot of them I'll only play for a few hours - some I play the absolute hell out of. (I get it I'm the rube)

for example - I realize the shadow of mordor gets a lot of shit for lifting its combat system from batman, but I'll be the first to say it has a progression that I really love - I started without a ton of moves and now, near the end of the game I feel like an absolute badass. I have no regrets and would throw the creators another 60 bucks if I could continue to have that feeling of progression.

I get none of the same feeling from this game.

well, after making the team I though would clear most content I decided to make a second team - then a third - then expand into hybrid teams. The problem?

its not my game, I rent it per hour from a company that dolls out my entertainment for dollars per play - I get no benefit for trying things out, the satisfaction I get from trying new teams always comes at a cost - you want to try a blonia kirin hybrid team? pay xx.xx s that it can at least tank the hit from xxxx so you can activate the special.

certainly I understand that my viewpoint will not be shared and the game is totally viable from a non-iap standpoint, but hell if you become addicted and actually want to start running multiple teams.


TL;DR: a long sunday morning rant, I think the silver REM is a trollfest.

I guess it comes down to the point - if you are a heavy IAP'r whats the point for doing something like that - again the images of the southpark episode come to mind.

I get it - I spend a lot on games and you are taking advantage of me - you found my 'weakness' - I like the game and want to incorporate new mobs into my teams and try to play in different ways.


The psychology behind the game is absolutely brilliant. 98% of people play for free, but the target is always the people that will pay thousands to have the new shiny and play with it.

half of my mind is like 'fuck that shit' the other half? - 'oh shiny....'

Exactly why I don't IAP. Game could shut down tomorrow and I would be unhappy about the wasted time but at least I wouldn't have sunk money into a game I may never be able to play again. For the most part, IAPing just allows you to experience the content more quickly and I don't need to burn out my interest in short order either.

It basically gives you a way to combat all the annoying aspects of new dungeons. Jammers, poison, and skill bind.

They are the only things I want besides FA Luci but I'm really low on stones, so I think I have to pass. Gotta save up my supply for Egyptian 2.

I've probably run the Princess dungeon over 30 times and haven't seen any invades. Heck, I didn't know there WAS an invade until I looked at the padwiki page just a few minute sago?

What's the invade rate? Ridiculously tiny?

I've gotten the invade twice while grinding Expert for skillups (20ish runs?). It's not very useful so don't worry too much about it unless you want it for collection purposes.

You mean Princess Punt? I did each difficulty once for the stones and got two of them. I even sold one because she dropped max skilled. >.<

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
The Good:
My two first Ult-Evoed with Yomi and Echidna. Feels good, even though the rising costs are still a pain.

Thanks god that it didnt took me that long to realize that using Kushinadahime as a leader on the Weekend Dungeon isnt the worst idea. So i could rank up and make some money, nice. Guess the Tower of Dragon ranking up days are over for now.


The Bad:
Hope Rare Evo material comes back soon to the PAL Machine.


My Zhuge team seems stronger and kinda more fun because of the easier and higher dmg output, but i decided that i will focus on the U&Y team. U&Y was the first cool God leader i got, so i cant just abandon him. I used the Tamadras too unlock the Awakening on Zhuge though, since ill use the team from time to time.

The dmg on the U&Y team is just very low right now, taking regular stages feels like it goes on forever - i`ve been spoiled by the Zhuge multiplier and the friend leaders i have that use him. BUt the team will probably be safer when im finished, since ill be able to heal lol.

Mayor stepping stones right now are the missing mask for the Ult-Evo to the 2nd TPA Awakening.

http://puzzleanddragonsforum.com/showthread.php?tid=58545

Looking at this guide i have every units to form a Offensive TPA focused healer team. Of course not their final forms, but at least the base unit.

U&Y, U&Y, Kushinadahime, Sun Quan, Yomi and Friend U&Y.

Is this the team i should focus on building for U&Y ? Would suck to focus all resources on these guys if i cant take on some of the stronger bosses later on.

That team is extremely good. You should absolutely put effort into that team. I am super jealous.

As for using U&Y, once you have a hang of orb management and can consistently activate his leader skill, there isn't really any reason to use him as a day to day team. Once you have put some levela, awakenings, and skill ups into that team it is extremely descend capable (literally everything that is not grass focused), but in general I prefer a more mindless team for everything else (like your GZL team).

Thanks, thats exactly what im looking for, but for now ill stop leveling or pushing the units that are only for the Zhuge team. Its all about U&Y for now.

Will need to Evo Sun Quan and Kushina first and somehow get the 2nd mask for U&Y Ult Evo. After that ill try to max evo my 2nd U&Y it will be a long road, but at least i have a goal and own the units needed.

Tomorrow.

Also, I've been using my GZL team lately because I've been so sucky with orb management. I've been trying to tackle the last dungeon in Starlight Sancuary, but I've been sucking each time. The closest I got was getting half of his HP off with GZL.

So, I guess only my U&Y team can take him out, probably... Provided that I don't suck getting to the bosses :-/

Once again the Jewel of Fire is in dungeons that I don't need anything else from. My Goemon is already max-skilled and it's pointless skilling-up Beezelbub when his ultimate changes skill. I guess Awoken Minerva and Dancing Hera will still have to wait.
