Gemstones and Legendary heroes are both incredible. The heroes make great subs and the gemstones provide a scaling damage multiplier for their active.

It's a pretty good lineup, though I'm not sure what the rates on this thing will be. It's more suited to end game players though. Nobunaga and Robin Hood are good leads. The gemstone series are very sought after inherits. Valks are solid subs. Apoc and Avalon Drake are desirable subs for top teams. I'd really like an Avalon drake.
Reading this manifesto from Richard Garfield that someone posted on the PAD subreddit

Interesting read. I find it a little ironic since the man created the game (read: addiction) (Magic the Gathering) that I literally worked 2 jobs as a teen in order to be able to support, but the points he makes are still valid. Specifically the thing I hate the absolute most out of F2P mobile games is the stamina/energy systems. They are easily the most exploitative and cancerous aspects of these games and I wish there was a way they could be regulated out of the medium.
I'm 100% fine with a cost being associated with gatcha systems, or with any other kinds of gameplay enhancing boosts and such, as long as it's not a competitive multiplayer game (see: Clash Royale, which can fuck right off with its pay 2 win crap). I would gladly spend a whole lot of money on this game's gatcha machines IF I didn't didn't feel like they were being exploitative of their whale-iest players by charging them to play more.
Even if we had unfettered access to the game it would still be an endless grind. The benefits of paying money would be more than worth it for it for those of us that chose to do it, but charging a dollar for what could amount to as few as a few extra minutes with the game is some Pac Man Fever shit that needs to go.

The DC lineup looks good in theory, but the stuff you might super duper want being in the 'increased odds' instead of a specific amount directly implies trap. Apoc, Avalon and the Valks may be good and worth pulling for if your account really needs them, but it seems best to not get too deep.

Courtesy roll got me an Alrescha. She's moe kyun kyun so it's okay

I had to do at least one roll...So I did 3.
Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang (green), Shotel (dupe).
I'll call that relatively successful. Any reason to keep a second Shotel around?

@Jagernaut I can run it twice again if you want, let me know how many skill boosts to bring
also god bless the evo mat pal machine, saves me time and stamina and lets me get things my pathetic team can't reliably get

Are PreDRAs just free 500mp? Got one on a black dragon run.
You only need to bring 1 skill boost. I'll run it 2 times with you.
Edit. I'll have enough stamina left for 4 runs with Kwhit10.
Yep. Well, technically the elemental PreDRAs can be used as skill-boost fodder for certain monsters, but that's a bad use for them. Just sell them and enjoy the MP.

Woo - Arrival Carnival 1 done! Progress feels really good right now...Most of this is thanks to Ronove, though. Dude is beast mode. I need to max skill him because that would be wonderful. Too bad C10 is the Woodpy. I could probably do C6 at best. C7-10 are all out of reach I think.
Besides Goemon, I assume these other 4 monsters are only useful for ultimate evos?
E: Looking at Myr's dungeon, I think I need to wait it out a bit. It seems pretty tough, even on Legend Plus.

Anyone want to run Extreme King Co-Op right now? I never did the quest for co-op so I can get it out of the way now. Only need to run once
I don't have ALB/Dios or push button team ready to go so will need to play somewhat normally. I have A. Ra, A. Bastet, and AA Lucifer (can pair with A.Panda).

e: got it done
e2: jesus christ all these quests I've already done lol

Her dungeon is pretty tough. I don't have a great team for it either. I solo it with awoken Lucifer and only have about a 50% clear with that. Bladelaw can probably figure out a team for you to beat it with though. I one stoned it the first time just to get her and start the uvo process, that part takes awhile.
Even getting her first uvo makes things like king of the gods mindless to farm.
Nico, Update your box and post. I'll see if I have anything to compliment it for Myr. It's still worth burning a sone for her. She is that good.
nicoga3000

Updated with some levels, plusses, awakenings, etc.
I just don't think that my box can do it. There's a good amount of stuff I still need to evolve, awaken, and level up.

There aren't really any floors that force you to combo or die or anything along those lines so carrying should be pretty simple for Myr.
I think I can carry you with Sumire. Our damage will be a little low but we'll have decent survivability.
You bring Sumire, andromeda, alrescha, Kraken Rider, and sitri. I have a Sumire system that's pretty hard to kill and with the coop HP boost we can survive every kill shot. It might take some time but it's totally doable.

I'd be down to run it later tonight if you are. I'll try and level up my team a little bit before then.

Don't worry about levels, it's a rogue so you level as you go. Just make sure your cards are awoken. Skill level helps too but isn't that important in multi since you rarely will have enough turns to get a skill up twice.

I DO have a tama retreat gift dungeon that I can farm for an hour for tamas if it comes to that. I have the box space to hoard, too.
Ping me when you want to run. Bladelaw#6504 on Discord.

Fuuuuuck that dungeon.
Thanks bladelaw.

So we managed to 0 stone it but man was it dicey multiple times. Isis's shield was MVP when we were heart starved. Paulina's water skyfall buff clinched the victory.
Stage 1 isn't too bad. Nordis is a pain in the ass to evo because the white dragon drops are few and far between but that's pretty much the worst of it for that phase.

My janky ass team:
bladelaw's team
I haven't taken a drop pic in a VERY long time.
But the run was fascinating. You absolutely can't be "carried" through these super hard dungeons. You have to do your part. More often than not, I just made it a point to match a heart cross and hope for any extra damage. It didn't help that the entire time I was nervous that the lack of awakenings and skill levels on my monsters was gimping us (which it totally was, but Isis da real MVP saved our ASS). I need to make a point of spamming colored dragon runs to start leveling teams and awakening stuff to be more useful.

I just did the Legend level. Going to try Mythical later. But what's so great about the Ace versions of these monsters?
Yeah that team is mega jank. Gives me hope that I can get a lift thru Myr too!
In other news: used my first snow globe today. It was to jack Ame up to 99 (well 98, close enough) so it technically fulfilled its purpose (managed to hold off not using it on an off color monster to bolster my more-important green cards) but it still hurt to see 4 million EXP disappear like that...

Ace Bastet can reach 144x (with 10 combos) and is no longer reliant on using an active skill for maximum multiplier.
Ace Horus is a fire based Light Kali and makes a great Sherias, Ra, and Sephiroth sub.
Ace Zeus Olympios...is a thing?
Ace Bastet can hit 144x with 10 combos, 56.25x at 7 combos. Awoken Bastet does 36x max at 7 combos so Ace is much stronger. Still a glass cannon due to no hp or rcv multiplier.
Ace Horus is a good sub, L Kali active + fire enhance, but not a good leader.
Ehhhh, nothing. Ace bastet's damage is already outclassed by other leads (except for the god killer) but he's a fun glass cannon anyway. Much stronger than awoken bastet. I'll use him from time to time. Horus is a good sub for a lead that doesn't exist (correct me if I'm missing something). It's just fun to breath new life in old cards.
Ana is going to be much more useful when her dungeon comes out.
