I have the Persephone and hades and I don't use them (well I plan to use hades once I awaken him). Big players on mine are d/d Haku, devil shiva, and FA Luci. Sub in King baddie, awoken minerva, and dancing hera-ur as needed.

I'd suck any number of dicks for a Fuma Kotaro. L.Kali is the best fucking thing in the goddamn game. Sorry Kirin

Fair enough.
Speaking of leaders, who do you use besides Kirin colonp?

I have two L kali and two kirin and I'll never use them..ever!
I have most/all of the good LKali subs including Fuma, but no LKali.
Also, if anyone wants my 3 Blonias for just 1 damn Rodin, I'll trade. I don't have a Blodin so I've never used Blonia. I feel like water teams are really REM dependent and hard to skill (Hermes/Fenrir Knight) in general, so I never use them except for U&Y sometimes.

These days I've been using Lu Bu. Don't have a great team by any means, but gets the job done more often than not. Same could be said about my Kirin team!

Blodin-less Blonia teams are probably not mythical descend-worthy without a bunch of +eggs but they can at worst handle biweekly dungeons and the like. You really just need one good water/physical RCV stat stick to keep the team alive. Lesser REM options like Isis, Neptune, Amon, Snow White, Megalodran all work (you're bound to get one of these if you keep rolling in water galas). Farmable stuff like B/D Vamp and Top Droidragon can also work in a pinch. Then you can fill out the rest of the lineup with Siegfried, Bubblie, and Leviathan. With extra Blonias, you can swap out Leviathan and maybe Siegfried for more skill boosts and board changes.
I have Amon, which is the closest you can get to a Blodin RCV substitute I suppose, and the other subs you listed. The thing is, I don't really want to run a Blonia team for any particular reason, so I'm just grousing about not getting a preferred 6 star godfest exclusive. I want Rodin for speed farming, general poison utility, and for my fire-focused teams.
Most of my water subs are underleveled/skilled, and the main draw of a Blonia team for me (high HP tankiness) is not even a factor now that I frequently use a Beelz/Ronia team for descends. The step down in ATK power is pretty big, too, so it's just not worth the effort for me given my alternatives.

Depends on the team. I maxed hera-is first for my kirin and horus teams. I'm casually working on dq hera now for devil teams. Those I would say are the two best candidates.

Just hit 200 days! I've really enjoyed playing the full non-IAP approach from scratch. Weirdly I think this account is much better than my old, heavy IAP account (which I've pretty much set aside at this point), but that probably has to do with how the game has evolved (5 min stamina, more REM exclusives, etc).
I think we're about due for a big change, something on the level of adding awakenings. I guess the PvP mode they have been teasing could be it, but I don't know. Then again, I was really underwhelmed by awakenings when they first arrived.

Korea is only getting 7.3, which means we're likely to follow, which means
1) no stamina overflow
2) what the heck
http://pad.neocyon.com/W/notice/view.aspx?id=330
At least coin dungeon clear notifications are in?
Sounds about right, there is no benefit right now to another Karin/Water team right now -. not to mention that beefing her up would take a while again.
I thought i was the only one struggling there...High Metal Dragons and synched Py Enemies are trouble... :-/
Really need to level up Droid Dragon, Ra and Lillith for these events.
If you dont mind me asking...why did you abandon your old an start a new account ? PaD doesnt seem like the game where you benefit from starting a new Account after you are invested in one. Or are you just looking for that Non IAP "challenge" ?
TPA is your best friend for these guys. A TPA match and 5 or 6 combos is usually enough. If you include a same color match as TPA it's guaranteed.
You are just talking about the Dragons now right ? Ok i will try to keep that in mind, i read a FAQ earlier and didnt realize before that every addition combo you make adds like another 25% to the main dmg...thats nuts. I have been lazy when it comes to combos so i really need to step up my game.
For example, i only used to do exactly 4 orbs for TPA and had trouble with many enemies...i was thinking like..erm i though that team is supposed to be a powerhouse with TPA ? ..... But it seems 1x TPA combos and multiple regular combos is the better way than just going for 2x TPA for example, depending on the situation.
That clear notification is way overdue. Can only hope we get another quick update to take us to 7.4 since I am really reluctant to stone for stamina knowing overflow is coming.
We should get Goetia and Ars Nova soonish since Goetia has a skill up in North Star collab. Also Wee Jas, Gamble Mage and Raoh. Guess I won't be running this much at all.
Star Vault today. Check your times since it's a lot earlier than normal.

Basically, I quit because I had beaten pretty much all the available content, maxed all my main monsters, and was pretty much just +egg or skill up grinding everyday, which was boring with no other goals to aim for. I also felt like the game was stagnating, especially when the big awakening update felt so underwhelming. So when I (finally) got a smart phone, I decided to start a new account, rather than jump back into the endgame grind.
Clear explanation? No. But I assume it's a combination of translation time, small staff development priorities, and the much lower NA revenue stream. We are far better off now than we used to be, where 5+ month delay was common.
Emptied out about a dozen friend spots today of people over 10 days. Will take some random adds if anyone needs me. Usually have up hyper max Ronia and +297 Dancing Queen Hera-Ur. Occasionally hyper max Pandora, Blonia, Awoken Minerva, +297 ultimate Dark Tron and ultimate D/B Batman.

This gives me hope. I guess I'll need to get my Arcane Monarch, Vampire Duke to take off his shirt.

I have Amon and I really want to use him for my Blonia team, but he is so damn hard to skill up.

As someone who finally hypermaxed my entire Sakuya team, if I could do it over again, I'd do a LKali team instead. But Sakuya is still great, top-5 imo. And her active is not strictly worse than LKali's. Double 10-turn 20% gravities is still very useful. Not just for weakening bosses but it's more versatile than many realize. You can whittle down low HP/high DEF enemies whose attacks grow bigger each turn, meaning you don't have to bring a defense breaker or damage reducer to survive and kill them. And you can use it to more easily manage the health range of enemies, especially dual-element enemies. But running LKali means you don't need to use up a slot for a board-changer, which is a huge boon. So many times I wish I could add one more team member to my Sakuya team, then it'd be perfect. But I always have to sub something out for a specific utility and I love every member of the default team.L.Kali is the best fucking thing in the goddamn game. Sorry Kirin
It's not multplicative to the overall damage if that's what you're thinking. So it's not like an extra combo multiplies total damage by 1.25 and so on. Think of each combo as just an additional on-color orb for each monster that deals damage. I know that may still be confusing, but such is PAD calculations. =P
I feel you on this. Awakenings ended up being way more game-changing then I initially thought.
What's your top 5 ranking these days George? We haven't really discussed the best in game since the introduction of Kali.

In no particular order, my guess at a top 5 would be the three 5x leads worth a damn (sorry, Durga) with Ronia and Dmeta in the other two spots. Awful tough to leave off Pandora though.
That's how I feel about a number of my teams. Why invest in ____ when ____ gets the job done more efficiently? I really enjoy have a variety of leads to keep things becoming too stale though. If I focused heavily on one team, maybe I'd get better results lol.
Pandora is a better leader than Dark Tron, even after the ultimate. HP management is too irritating on most recent dungeons. Although Andromeda is giving Pandora a run for her money right now.
Awakenings were mostly terrible in the beginning. It wasn't till things got loaded up with multiple rows and skill boosts that the system really exploded.
Max skill? Save it and farm plus eggs next 5x tech or Star Vault. 100 eggs isn't really that much anymore.

Okay that makes sense +1 respect, dont know if could just restart with a new Acc after i have invested as much in a first one. But then again i dont see myself doing a crazy amount of runs for skill-ups and co. - thats a bit too much for me.
Didnt knew that Awakenings werent there from the beginning...i cant even imagine how Units like U&Y would play like without TPA and other enhancements.
Yeah thanks i think i got it know...played around in the Endless Corridors earlier and think i can predict the possible damage a bit better know. Pulling of a TPA combo + 5-6 regular ones isnt easy though....

Pretty much. I haven't really used Pandora or any of her pantheon to be familiar with the playstyle to assess her, though.
I don't have Pandora but I do have DTron. Pandora is really strong but is better in shorter dungeons. When you use up all your orb changers, your damage is terrible and you have to stall for them to be back up. It's hard to get enough dark orbs just from skyfalls/clearing the board. DTron has to manage hp but can clear trash mobs with just 3 dark orbs.
Well that's why multiplier leads were king back then.

Hi, guys, any viable team to conquer Challenge Lv8 w/o stoning for me?
My box: https://www.padherder.com/user/MathChief/monsters
My box: https://www.padherder.com/user/MathChief/monsters
To be honest the only think i have been working on was getting a team ready that can beat Wednesday Mask dungeon (even if i have to orb for it once). I havent tried it yet and the team isnt finished yet...but...for Max-Skill lock since cant Ult Evo Marine Rider right now, i can only bring 1 orb changer with me.
How would you rate my chances with that GZL team ?
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/sim...0.0.2..231.45.4.0.0.0.1..1373.99.1.99.99.99.5..
I will definitely luck to survive the first floor, goal would be to take out Blue Evo Mask first and then kill the rest in the 2nd turn.
Floor 2 should be somehow manageable in 8 turns with a bit luck. Floor 3...well need as well hope for enough green orbs. If my HP are below 80% i could use 1 GZL active here and kill them off with 60K def.
Floor 4, another GZL active and hoping to hit them for more than 100k and kill all.
Final Floor, well its kill or be killed here as well. 1x GZL Active, ADK orb-change if possible (lol) and hope to somehow for hit more than 1 million.
What do you guys think ?
The only thinks i could wait for is +2 Skill Up Awakenings on the 2nd GZL, leveling the units further up for more HP, Ult Evo Kushi/ADK..... but this wont change much in general, so yeah. With Ult Evo Marine Rider as a Skill Lock Unit and Orb changer this would be quite a bit easier...but guess what i need theses Masks to Ult Evo him xD
Heh interesting to see the evolution of the game.

To tackle descends? Yeah.
But I think you could complete mid-tier content with something like Dmeta/DD Tiamat/DL Lilith/Vampire/CDK/Dmeta. A farmable Pandora team would be tougher since Vampire and CDK are really the only viable fast orb changers to choose from unless you use Hamahime and her garbage stats.
Basically, both teams need rows, skill boosts, and orb changers. The REM subs tend to have multiple of these in a single card so it's easier to stack more of these on to the team. Your farmable options are lucky if they can do more than one of those things at once.

Uvo Kush and ADK will help with floor 2; you can easily clear the floor before your eight turns are up.
On the final floor you should soften up the blue mask a little before bursting away; I don't know if it's possible to break its defense.
You might want to consider pairing with a Bastet instead of another GZL, it would help with floors 3 and 4.
Hmm...on the PDX page it says the mask has 1 mil def and 35 HP ...so if i hit for more than 1 million i should be able to OHKO both masks. Or am i missing something ? But then again it all depends on what kind of board i will have on the final floor. Will probably need like 2-3 TPAs and combos...
I think i need the GZL friend to OHKO the masks on the final floor. I dont have the HP or RCV with my team to trade hits with those masks (9K per Round).
Edit:
Just realized that with current setup my ADK wont be ready on floor 1 if i get orb trolled - need 1 more Awkening for my 2nd GZL ...aargh: The dream is dead.
I want to tell you to use Awoken Ceres with Green Odin and Kushi, but you are missing a big burst from a Genbu or Gronia. You could try a Parvati(or Angelion)/Guan Yu combo, but that might not be enough burst without luck.
Other option is Kirin with standard subs, but you have to work around or power through Michael. Basically combo hard the whole way through. Risky, but possible.

Shit. I had set an alarm for the starry dungeon, hit the off button when it went off and then completely forgot about it! I was in the middle of eating lunch/dinner
Kirin/LMeta/Kushi/Valk/Echidna.
