Wow. Insanely good rolls!
Beelzebub/Duke Vampire/Hera/Haku/King Baddie/Ronia
Enough hp to tank a hit from the dublits and any attack except Treant, Beelzebub's double 2-pronged can take them out easily.

I beat it with Pandora, but it was a real nail-biter at points.
Ultimate Ronia
Ronia
Ronia
D/D Haku
D/L Lilith
Ultimate Ronia
Just under 19k hp, I nuked floor 6 in 1 turn, I was more worried about the dublits. If I put Ultimate Hera Ur in place of Lilith I would have over 20k hp.
I ran it with Lu Bu / Ronia without any issue. Just bring poison in case you hit a bad stretch of dub cooldowns and burst the last two rounds. I one shot the final two rounds.

I ended up doing Super Blessed with U&Y. Not sure I would recommend it though. Hera's orb change and general orb troll nearly did me in on the last round. I'm not gonna bother with the S rank.

Christmas Hera finally dropped for me! Yayyy! I was playing the expert floor, I had to stone my way through master floor. I got to work on my team some more!
What current team are you using? Iirc, you had pretty good subs.
I used GZL for this one, though U&Y is my main...but no friend had him up.
Team:
GZL/Kushi/Wonder Woman/Dragon Knight/Artemis/GZL
Except the leader the rest is low level and/or unevolved - need the Masks to evolve WW/Kushi and Mystic Knight.
I'm trying to imagine what gungho is going to do to get people to pull the regular REM after this event.
I think this is perhaps the first and only Troll free event I can think of.
- even if you don't love the 4* rolls they are still fantastic for new players and fit nicely on low star teams/tama "s" runs
- each of the mobs has different awakenings then their full counterparts and can have different uses
I expected a total trolfest - this was excellent, and perhaps because I only got 4 dupes I think its one of the best bang/buck I've had since I first broke down after a year and spent money.

Wish they had reversed which busty got the good awakenings. Not that I ever use either of my Karins ever, but B/G makes its way into much more intriguing color combinations.

Rolled Xmas REM on my main account again since I got 5 stones and got keeper of the sacred texts, metatron. No idea what to do with that.
Rolled the same on my iOS Rank 14 alt account and got Holy Night Kirin Princess, Sakuya. No idea what to do with that until I actually have the team cost to use it. But I already fully awoke it to get rid of Tamadras I have nowhere else to use yet.
yay for no in app purchases

You don't know what to do with one of the best leaders in the game? Level her up and use her, lol.

How easy is Noah? I need 3 dark orbs and I'm wondering if I should wait for an easier option or just run Noah all day tomorrow.
Edit: never mind, looks like tomorrow is fire.

The Christmas chibi version is not one of the best leaders in the game.
I rolled the Christmas REM five times. Two chibi leilen, one chibi meimei, a chibi luci, and a chibi lilith. Petty decent gold to silver ratio, but not exactly what I was hoping for. I'm probably done rolling, because I need to use the upcoming free some to buy monster slots... Planning on Max skilling Lakshmi is taking up a ton of space!

This was my longest S-rank, yet. Kuromi has the same active skill as Shiva. I just used Kuromi for her lower rarity. I don't have an unevolved Shiva. The theory was multiple ways to deal with all the high defense enemies, while dual Grodins tanked hits and autohealed. Flame Spirit combines with Kuromi to OHKO Treants. In practice I learned that the only crucial members was at least one Grodin lead and Kuromi/Shiva. If you can survive the initial battle to charge Kuromi, it becomes really easy to survive. You basically activate Kuromi on each battle that has high defense mobs. Use Grodins to help eliminate all but one enemy, and recharge before the next battle. It works, but it's obviously very slow, lacking any ATK multipliers. The last 2 battles take forever, especially since you must manually heal on Hera when matching poison orbs.
In hindsight, I would have tweaked the team to the one below. It's the same rarity to guarantee S-rank, but Rodin would have made it a much quicker run. You can also use a gravity mob instead of Rodin. Really anything to make the last 2 battles less tedious. Also, using an Amaterasu(preferably Attacker version for 3x ATK for both Rodin and Ama) instead of a second Grodin makes it unnecessary to manually heal during the boss battle, making it even quicker.

Yes guaranteed drop and chibidra does nothing. You should at least get 2-3 baby every run though.
Nice!
Got a Flampy after only 40 stamina spent in the coin dungeons. 
The exp is awesome too, but it's hard to find a solid hour to spend speed farming, so I hadn't tried the dungeons before. There's this whale on my friend list that gains at least 2 ranks a day (currently rank 566) since the dungeons were added.

I'm trying not to think about yomi, in hopes it will improve my feeding luck.
(I'm not doing well with skilling)
good news - 3/3 awakenings with baby tamas for my mini valk - and a lot of fun playing around with it.

Pulled the Christmas REM one more time, and got another Laila. Perhaps I can run a Cao Cao team with two of them?
Pulled once more and got.... Mini Lilith. lol I always wanted the normal version, but as a drop and not a REM... Well better than nothing.
BTW. One Stage away from Oceans of Heaven, would probably already be finish if I had more GZL friends xD
Edit :
Thanks atlantaguy :-D
Tower to the Sky finished.
Is this a one time thing or could I orb for stamina for multiple runs? If so I'll need to clear some Challenge Dungeons for Orbs.

Chibi Lilith's double two prongs is probably better than regular Lilith for your U/Y team.
Seems like everyone is getting gold eggs but me. Only two rolls so far but hoping to get enough stones for 2-3 more rolls before Xmas REM leaves.
It is an hourly dungeon so you can run it as many times as you can. Don't worry too much, it will probably come around once a month.
If you have a low CD poison or 7777 damage sub or something like that you can clear the last stage easily.

Tried a new team for Friday dungeon mythical.
Awoken Minerva as 1 lead, Dancing hera-Ur as the second. Subs are Ronia (not ultimate), Ultimate devil Shiva, Dancing Hera-Ur (a second one), L Meta (though you could sub for Ammy-O or some other unbindable monster that can instantly cure Binds).
Awoken Minerva makes floor 1 completely irrelevant if you can kill 1 of the three mythlits on the first turn. Shiva gets you through Floor 2, Awoken Minerva and a good board can insta-kill floor three (but you can also charge on floor three ala the original Zues gravity runs). Hera-ur skill, Ronia (just in case some red orbs change to black) and then second hera-ur skill. This kills Angelit, and can kill Devilit (if you have enough damage). for me it left devilit with about 1/8th of his HP, and minerva's skill got me enough red orbs to get two rows to kill him.
All in all taking the randomness out of floor 1 may make this team worth it. I am not sure two Awoken Minerva's will do enough damage on floor 4 (and you still kind of need the shiva for floor two, can't really sub in a Lilith on this team). Are there any other red monsters that eliminate or pierce armour?

Rodin? Decent enough and three rows and skill boosts are awesome.
The boss? The highest floor available .
Thanks for this. I didn't realize Odin was a workable leader for this. Pretty much gave up on Odin being one for any new dungeons.
Just in general or for whenever i need a Unit with Poison ? Because she isnt a healer or God and the U&Y team is just wood/water anyway, D/L Yomi being the exception.
Also what i wanted to ask should i even invest in Gimmick/Special characters ?Will these Mini version ever get Ult-Evos or more Awakenings ? Same for Wonder Woman, she seems like a good sub for GZL right now, but will she get updates or Ult/Evos in the future ?
Dont wanna spend exp/tamas on units that will ignored for Original PaD monsters down the line.
btw. Will units like GZL get Ult-Evos as well down the line ? Because he seem already quite powerful to me,
Thanks,
i have 3 Ghostrings and now Mini Lillith. Also have Ra with the 7777 atk skill.
Guess ill just use Ra + 4 poison types and stall on the first round ?

Based on how they treated the Batman collab, I wouldn't expect an ult for Wonder Woman. GZL on the other hand will likely get one eventually, but not anytime soon unless he's voted in.
Ok thanks, wont invest in her then, her active skills is useless most of the time anyway for me.
And "voted in" ? People can vote who gets Ult-Evos ?
Alright thanks.
I wanna get at least 3 Tamas to get 3 Awakenings on Yomi. And maybe one to get the first TPA on Artemis.

Oh, I didn't realize chibi and bigtron have the same exact name. I got confused.

Yeah, for special events they've opened up polls to determine who gets busties, regardless of the actual need for them to happen in the metagame. The winners of the first vote were Kirin, AA Luci, and Ltron. The winners of the second were Ronia, Satan, and Dtron.
busties = Ult-Evos ? I know i get it xD
But its nice that gamers can vote on them as well.
btw. This is another very basic question, but i`ve been wondering is the damage you recieve from enemies always the same or would you recieve less dmg from a fire enemy if all your units are water ?
Also need to upgrade my resolve team at some point. Thinking of Ult Evo Ogre.
When it comes to Healer Girls i have now Ult Evo Echidna, Mandrake, Angel but im not using any of them right now, still waiting for Siren to drop.
