Also it looks like a decent R. Minerva team wrecks C10 this go around. Even moreso if you have Dragon Killer Tsubaki and a strong bind clear.
They really should increase the Pal Points pool to something like 100; I'm constantly bumping against the max with co-op grinding and best friend usage and it sucks to blow precious rolls on the Rare Monster Carnival.
o.... let me reincarnate my Minerva and get to work on that then
Or use Ilm (dragon killer) and ReMinerva I guess, maybe I can make another dragon killer Tsubaki and just go nuts with two
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but Aizen is really great for quick clearing the 5x4's in coins right now. I'm using my Aizen team to farm fire resist latents in Hera-Ur 5x4 and every floor drops to a dark cross. I use Lumiel on Ifrit just because it's faster than matching. Even if a skill floods the board with dark it's a one hit kill.

You only need one. C10 was a joke. I accidentally killed Fagan stalling. Make sure you have some SDR coverage or can play Laila's game before Hera-Is.I'll try R Minerva for c10. I have 2 Tsubaki but only 1 is the dragon killer ult. I kept the other as Fire/Light in case I wanted to lead with her.

Team I ended up using:
R. Minerva
Awoken Cao Cao
Gadius
DK Tsubaki
Antares
Final burst was gadius+Minerva+Antares. Myr had a bad time.
Is this solo? Can you kill Laila without being skill delayed?
Yeah, the amount of EXP can vary. I've been using it to gather mats and then rank up and gather more. It's helped me rank up fairly quickly. No problem as I've been using YD to go through a lot of stuff lately.Nice. Thanks for always putting Yomi Dragon up for JP.
Well they did just power up the current Hello Kitty characters last week on JP servers (no sign of the collab. though.)Please quit bringing back the FotNS collab. I like that property fine and all, but where's my Hello Kitty at? It's been like 18 months or so.
On C10, how is everyone dealing with Hera with dual R. Minerva? She hits very hard and I am worried about killing her in two turns, as I sometimes have trouble dealing large amounts of damage with this team.
Also, I'd like opinions on an MP purchase. Currently, I have about 370k MP. Originally, I was planning on buying Plum for Gremory. However, two things happened. One, the JP buffs opened up Yomi dragon, which seems to be a lateral move compared to Plum. I'm also not particularly interested in running Super Yomi dragon as a lead, as he seems to be somewhat similar to DD Cecil in practice and really hard to evolve. The second thing is that I have been running A. Yomi and have been pretty happy with the decision. Honestly, my Gremory team feels like she needs better inherits more than anything else. I'm not sure how much of an upgrade either Plum or Yomi Dragon would be over the current team of DD Pandora/DD Akechi/A. Yomi/DD Cecil.
On the other hand, buying a blue puppeteer seems like it would be a pretty significant upgrade to my secondary team, R. Minerva. I'd also still have a chunk of MP left, so I could work back up to another purchase in time for the consensus on Plum v. Yomi dragon to be decided (and for me to make up my mind on the issue of whether or no A. Yomi really needs to be replaced). However, I feel weird spending MP on the puppet, as I'm not exactly planning on making the full cheese team, but rather expanding the scope of the R. Minerva team.
So what's the ideal or at least a workable Balboa team?
My relevant box I think is:
UUvo U&Y
A. U&Y (noticed only posion+jammer to wood now)
A. Orochi
A. Astaroth
A. Frejya
Verdandi?
Revo Ceres?
I'd post padherder but it isn't updated and hasn't been ever since I couldn't get padlistener to work anymore.
stuff
I just pulled Balboa so I could do whatever.
I threw in Verdandi because that active + UUevo U&Y would make a B/G board.

According to Setsu the sub ult Balboa is actually preferred as a lead right now in JP? ...apparently the unbindability plus the soft bind clear is preferable to the higher multiplier.
I have two Balboas and the playstyle is smooth, but I don't know if I'd be able to handle the lack of HP multiplier and low ATK.

Why DD Pandora over Awoken Pandora?
.Honestly, I wanted the extra time extend. It also gives me another active up on turn one vs. having to wait a turn to fix a board. I also like that she has a TPA, as those seem more helpful on non-active turns than an additional row. I always figured I will shift her to awoken form, when I feel like I need less time.
Most of the time, I feel like I have more time than I need with the current team, but sometimes it makes a large difference in what I can do.
I don't know, I'm waffling a lot. Plum was my gameplan, and I still think it is solid, but my deaths on, say, one shot challenge, were more due to me sucking than anything a particular sub could do.
Down to only needing 5 more fire resists. Then I need something like 120k MP to buy the puppet. I got lucky with invades and went 2/6 which is nice. Once I'm done farming those I need to hop back on the MP grind. I'll probably do Z8 just to have another max skilled one available. If I never see Scarlet again it'll be too soon. Linthia is easy but I can't use much from her dungeon.
Then I need to grind out the evo mats for Lifive. Does the team need to be max skilled or can I get away with not doing so if I'm ok with stalling longer? Pad Z dragons are a pain in the ass to skill up. Lifive won't be so bad once we get the tan update.

30 with this team. If you have the shinra bansho guy with 4 fire resist awakenings you can get by with 20. The reason is Minerva's leaderskill and the awakenings don't stack additively. so if you're short say 10 latents you're at 90% resist from awakenings and take 25% of the remaining 10% damage (or 2.5% total)The Minerva cheese team is
Minerva
2 red Pad Z dragons
Lifive
Blue puppeteer Charite
Minerva
correct? How many fire resists are needed total?
In the coin dungeons Hera-Ur 5x4How are you getting farming Fire resist latent?
The only way I know how to get them is predra dungeons.

Hi!I really hope I can find a Red Guan Yu holding Minerva when I finish this. Otherwise I'm going to have real problems.
Hi!
367,983,353
She and guan Yu are max skilled but she only has +99 RCV atm, if that matters.
Don't know if I'd want to keep it active all the time since I don't use her as a leader but I'll for sure put her up when you need it.
She's going to get plussed eventually because I use her on Krishna so maybe when your team is ready she'll be maxed. Just let me know when you need her up.Awesome! I'll add as soon as I can. I won't be needing her for a while since I've still got a bit of team building and a bunch of farming to do but man that'll make my life much easier. I'm not worried about +'s because ideally I won't be taking damage. +ATK would be nice but I'm not sure how necessary it'll be. The important thing is to push Zeus Dragon to 21-40% HP. I'm hoping one member of the crew missing pluses isn't the difference. Even then, I'm more interested in Heph and Hera dragon than Zeus so if that's where the run ends I can deal with it.

Non-best friends can always see the first and "last used" team leader, correct?
- Hope that gungho institutes a change with "friend" leaders
- For my most recent teams, including ones I've spent money creating, I've chosen leaders that are not commonly used.
- with these leaders I depend on certain "friend" leaders being up or available in the random pool.
- currently if I need a lead that I am not running there is no chance that I will be able to run a team I've worked hard and spent money to create.
I've burned the stones I've gotten for free on terrible pulls recently, but considering its a bitch to try to find a lead to match up with tifa or a.ichigo team I'm really kind of pissed that the system has not evolved with the game.
I have no reason to spend to try to create niche teams when there is so little chance I'll be able to run them when I want to.
I have a maxed Tifa to throw in slot 1 for you.
I appreciate it - and am glad for boards where I can ask people - but:
earlier today I wanted to try a TIFA/XiuMin team for something. Given that I generally have B.Myr,A.chi,XM or Krishna up my Friends list (260 people) have rotated away from XiuMin.
not a single XiuMin available - and no way to fish for one (Gungho generally has random players with same lead pop up, but never good lead matches)
its frustrating.
I've been playing Monster Strike again recently, and it's stunning how much better the UX in that game continues to improve compared to PAD. Things like being able to set push notifications for when avo descendeds show up, being able to view guerilla schedules in advance, etc.I appreciate it - and am glad for boards where I can ask people - but:
