Saw that this morning, really helped talk me out of a yolo roll. Going to try to save my stones for Saria subs.
I keep wondering how many stones mech Hera would cost me. Would be cool to farm co-op with her. Is she popular in JP?
I finally cleared the first Endless Corridors!
So I've been steam rolling these descends and I'm picking up a lot of "stuff" that may or may not be useful.
I'm only missing Tengu and Xuanzang for Awoken Haku and Awoken Tsukiyomi and their specific dungeons are a problem as I don't have teams for either dungeon.
Should I wait for the appropriate carnival to show up or should I bite the bullet and level up some low cost monsters? If the latter what makes for good farmable teams to clear those descends?

Just wait for the descended carnival. It's not worth making a low cost team anymore
Edit: what do you have in your box?
LOL the lack a God-type 5 turn orb changer and plus eggs is really killing my chance to reach to top 1%.
20 something stones later still can't break 130k barrier (start with 14X stones at the beginning of this event, only 123 left now).
Wish I had the sub's to use shivadragon with D.iza.
I've been stuck outside of the top 10% using awoken Horus team. RNG plays such a huge part in these ranking dungeons.
Your standard Dandi, bastet or shiva team should be able to do it

On my newest account I ignored getting a Titan until Athena Descended, where the drop rate is significantly higher. Not exactly the easiest dungeon for a beginner, but if you don't have an immediate need for a Titan that's another option.
My thought process is that if I'm gonna get him, might as well get him early while I'm still getting some reasonable exp for my level. But maybe I should already be unlocking technicals or something like that with the time I've put into the game.

Does one of my BFFs have a Ryune to leave up for a while? Gonna be passively farming alts during the Super Bowl, and that's my high HP team at the moment.
Slowly getting edged off of the 30% cliff :x
Stamina better spent unlocking dungeons and getting free stones imo
I can throw up blodin but that is the best I can do.
currently working on a ryune thats up most of the time, although burned my stamina earlier and not actively refreshing. (max skill/level - working on plusz)

Thanks guys. It went OK.

Running alts solo, I fucking hate skill delay. Only deaths I have are to skill delay. It just seems unfair. I should skip those until I have a partner, but I'm just trying to clear this for the stone. Am I supposed to pay 30,000 MP for the latent? Does any monster have an awakening that blocks it?

Do you want a max level Blonia? It's the new ult, but unskilled. It's my alt, which still has a BF I can use. Don't really care too much about the account, so I'll BF anyone that'll find it useful. I know it pairs well with Ryune, but I think I&I work too.
Yeah I have been running with yomidra and the last run screwed me. Should probably just run with thor to be certain of not getting screwed over.

Nah, thanks though. I have Blonia, so Ryune is the ideal pairing, at least in this case.

Even running Thoria, I'm getting wrecked on boss levels with skill delay. I try to save hearts and light orbs, but if I don't get one of my monsters with a haste active up after 1 turn I'm in a world of hurt. Eventually I'll just ignore these dungeons, but it's a pain.

What is the best way to combo a dual colored board?
So, I just realized I have enough BadPys to max out 2 A. Pandas and my Loki. That's good. Castor is only 2 away from max and and that just leaves Hanzo. It's going to be easier to put my A. Panda squad together than I expected
I've pretty much realized that Kirin's true greatness is beyond my skill level. I'll keep her around and I can clear 90% of content with her, but anything that requires me to be hyper consistent with high combos really murders me. It will be nice to have an alternate team that's a bit less taxing.
I will be pretty close to a max skill Eila, so that will make playing Kirin easier once I pick up the cost to play her.

That should cover most situations. Some of them are a bit out of date I think (new Heroes leader skill I think), but its certainly enough to get you started.
Edit: damn, beaten

My ranking fell from 3.9% to 4.3%. First time that's happened. The first 2 ranking dungeons my ranking improved as the event neared the end. People really want that crown, I guess. I'm satisfied staying in top 10% and spending my stam elsewhere. Gonna be annoyed if GH makes crowns more than vanity items though.
just wow.
that is all.
I ran it a couple times on the first day and just checked, same thing - went from ~4% to 6.6% now.
not chasing.

Welp. My stam maxed out while watching the Super Bowl, so decided to go ahead and see if I could crack 1% with available stam before the event expired.

JP has 10x on KOTG for some reason, hurry and run it while you cash
I want one
. If those things get more common I wouldnt be surprise if GungHo introduces some catchpa thingie (GranBlue Fantasy has one) during random dungeons.
Congrats to everyone for their scores, I managed to be in 20-30% range. Didnt run dungeon for few days. Coop in the weekend was fun. I didnt think that coop hits me in good way. Really nice new way to play PAD.

We have Tama Retreat today again. According to PADGuide group C is at 19:00 EET.
Castor only needs 1 more Skill Up. Yay! Tempted to take a Badpy instead of Shynpy for Elia on one of the remaining free Py days to save time. Know better though and I'll just keep throwing my natural stam at the Castor dungeon until I finish. I don't really have too much better to do until my A. Panda team is done anyway.
Absentmindedly ran a special dungeon and went up 10 ranks. These one time dungeons are pretty silly.
Also here's my monster box if anyone has more advice. It's uh... a lot more dire than what you might think.
I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice.
