Puzzles and Dragons

Just putting out a warning now...

By friday, if you do not have @RR in your name and you are running an ADK, you are getting removed from my friends list. Thanks for your cooperation

If you have @RR in your name and you ARE running ADK as your leader... good luck on getting better dropsLet me know if you need me to put up any leader to help you out.


As a random aside... I was thinking about our good ole pal from FoH... while logging into PAD a couple days ago when it gave me the Facebook Likes announcement... Rather than spending 5 bucks getting 5 stones... I could spend 5 bucks and get EVERYONE 5 stones!

Buy facebook likes from Fiver for puzzles and dragons page...

Pretty sure you got @RR in your tag so your safe. But I do have too many people that I only ever see with an ADK up and not sure where they came from... so they are gonna go

I recently noticed I have over 6 Anubis' on my list now. This makes me very happy. Hopefully they stick around

How many plus eggs does everyone have? I went through and counted all mine...117 spread across 52 cards. I wish I could consolidate a bit, but almost every sub I have has a +1 or +2 from a skillup attempt.

Horus +30 (12 hp, 17 atk, 1 rcv) came out of REM with +RCV, will not add RCV until AO is maxxed
Amaterasu +29 (1 atk, 28 rcv) came out of REM with +ATK, will not add HP
Lil Red +12 (12 atk) atk holder
Unevolved Green Starter +8 (8 hp) hp holder

+55 spread across 25 monsters (from skillups or REM)

For a total of 134 + eggs total on US account rank 150

JP---

Horus +46 (16 atk, 12 hp, 18 rcv)
Lil White Dragon +16 (16 hp) hp holder
Unevolved Black Starter +16 (16 atk) atk holder
Unevolved Blue Starter +20 (20 rcv) rcv holder
+24 spread around 23 other monsters (skillups and REM)

122+ eggs on JP rank 132


Some Events rolling out on JP, I think Korea is getting them too and heard rumblings of Godfest and skillup event and such for US too...

JP godfest is Indian/Egyptian... not too excited about that one (already rolled 3 shivas on that account) and I have Horus... Anubis would be a nice addition. But rolling for one god out of 12...

Yeah, time traveler scuttlebutt is Lighless Devils Nest tomorrow. I guess it's a very cheap stone, at least? And if I catch another vamp, it can join the 10 big baddies I prepared for skill up 2x time.

And I agree - I barely have any gods and I'm underwhelmed by angels/Indian. At least the drop and skill rate bonuses are nice. And maybe they won't run Room of Pengdra when I'm unavoidably detained at work....

Indian gods are great for mono teams... Parvati, Lakshmi, Shiva. Ok light/dark suck (hard).

Not any more - Vrita and Indra combined make a 2/4/2 team, same as greek/norse. Dragons don't get you a lot of variety in skills but there is an assload of available subs in any color you want.

Angel also has the reigning champ of OP silliness in archangel lucifer.

A lot of people are shitting their pants over him lately. Is it just the 300k nuke? It's pretty baller as a finisher after using gravities, but 2x HP/RCV for dark isn't making me shit my pants with glee.

It's the combination - 2xhp/rcv is effectively equivalent to 50% resist all, so dual seraphim lucifer can be used for almost every defensive situation, and 2x300k nuke is enough to instant kill a lot of legend bosses, making otherwise super hard encounters trivial - two heroes is a good example. Rainbow keeper is also a fantastic team member for that combo, so you can have an endgame team going in almost no time at all if you get him as a starter.

I hate defensive teams=P Which is a bad idea since I don't pay to play so I'll probably never have a KABLOOEY team strong enough for endgame stuff.

The Red Kablooey team is pretty good and no reason to IAP, isn't it?

It's a good team, but if I don't have all my chars near max(level and +eggs) it's not gonna handle true end game shit.

And I won't have a ton of possible rolls because I have to buy so many inventory slots since I can't afford to not hold on to everything=P

I've got a great team, but it's useless sometimes and just not strong enough and probably never will be for others. Basically all the "Descended" dungeons are out of reach for a long time.

It won't happen, but I desperately want to land a Goemon=P

Today was my day apparently. Did the Legendary Evil Dungeon on expert for like the 20th time, got Evil Dragon Helheim. Leveled up, and did the Ancient Light Dragon on expert, got Ancient Light Dragon Laphroaig. Crazy!

I've been leveling my mono red team pretty much exclusively. I'll be pretty bummed if there are lots of dungeons it can't handle.

Red team is all about damage, mostly frontloaded. Can drop 1mil damage pretty easy first round on a boss usually, but after that you are racing to finish them before they finish you. For something like Zeus or Valk or Mythical Goemon that means you've got to do another 2.5mil+ before they wear you down or use a special that will one shot you, ideally before Menace wears off. Even with 2x HP you aren't gonna have 40khp without 99 +hp eggs on everyone, if even then. And all these bosses hit every round.

It's not all doom and gloom, it's just discouraging when you see what the team CAN do with all that maxed shit and you realize you will never ever ever be there. Ever. Everyone has to use multiple teams though, unless you somehow get Goemon from the jump you aren't going to use one team from start to finish.

I might be able to handle Legend Goemon when it shows up. Same 50 stam cost but only 40-50% drop. Depending how many turns he starts on I'll have 4-5 turns to finish off his 2,071,597 hp before he even attacks, and I'll be able to live through a couple hits. So I'm hopeful, and I will happily burn a stone or two that day for extra runs.

Two Heroes should be doable as well. Just tedious as fuck.

Normal Hera is an outside possibility. Zeus, Hera-Is(either difficulty), Valk, and Goemon Mythical are just not feasible without those crazy stats.

Aren't all the mono color teams similarly screwed in that regards?

I mean I'm trying to figure out the limits of my non iap box. I can field an amazing mono red team, an ama/odin team, and a kind of gimpy double horus team.

Hopefully, I can build a goemon team in the future. Other than that I'm not even sure what else is worth trying to pull from the REM.

Yep, mostly probably worse than Red since they do less damage generally.

Never realized how popular Anubis is - I'm on the Dark team friend finder and I have gotten more PAL points from having Anubis up doing White Legendary these past 3 days than I have ever gotten.

I admit, I didn't see Poring Tower coming. I'm impressed, though I don't have the mobs to skill up from it. Maybe I'll farm a Mastering if I can just because....

Still, maybe we'll at least get the other collabs from the parent company going forward....

In other news, being unlikely to manage to finish two heroes, when it's running right before Poring Tower, makes me a sad panda.
