At rank 22 I wouldn't worry about leveling monsters up too much. If you tell us what you're working with someone can make suggestions on how far to push between weekend Tower of Giants > Dragons of the Tower grind sessions. In general though I'd say just work your way through Castle of Satan if you can, and do Giants on the weekend. But that's a very generic bit of advice.
I have 31 Thor,32 Freyr, 43 Amatarasu, 30 Sarutobi Sasuke,30 Hattori Hanzo, 24 Ice Guardian, 16 Sylph, 25 Vampire, 3 level 30 Hatsumes, 30 Fairlion, 25 Succubus, 5 Ceres and a max Naga as my notable rares. I've been trying to get a siren from Mermaid Feast in Neptune glacier but thats not working out so im pushing through Fire Forest Nerva.

If you're reliably clearing that for 0 stones, what's left to work on for your team anyway?

Edit - just read Saban's post, he's got a notably better box of leaders than me. Man, I feel inadequate now.

I've got:

Mono Red thanks to most things being farmable archangel Uriel+starter ripper/toy/echidna/maxed skill gigas/knight + belial + skydragon)
Blue: Archangel Gabriel, maxed siren, starter, ripper, beast rider, knight, ice guardian and Niflheim, (Only thing I really want/need is the heartbreaker)
Green: Archangel Michael, Artemis, dryad, Yggdrasil, GOdin, knight, toy, starter, elemental
Dark: Starter, Golem Mk3, Vamp, Knight, Ripper, Lilith + ghost, Tiamat, Hades, Toy, plus of course rainbow keeper
Holy: My weakest team, Apollo, Ripper (3 of them if I wanted to level them up), Knight, Golem, Cupid

I think I've successfully graduated into the "mid-level" game. I've got the basic ability to run a mono team of each color, plus I have an Isis (my initial tutorial roll) to
run weekend dungeon (and I used her + about 4 stones to get through master level ancient blue dragon, my burst damage is kind of crappy)and Godin helps cheese lots of other dungeons.

I wouldnt sweat the siren drop so much... her usefulness is overstated at this point in the game with the helpers and other subs you have access to.

Meh, if you didn't roll an AO, you still need an autohealer to progress, because there are going to be things you can only do with healer/Odin. Once you get past a certain point, yeah, you don't need one, but she makes life nice in certain areas. Like red skydragon, which I don't even run with a resist now. I've just been using mono blue base, max skill siren sub, and an AO healer. Speeds shit up, that's for sure.

I guess its been a long time since I had to rely on autohealer for progression...

Knowing what I know now... I would not bother trying to farm for mermaid at Sea Cave Mercury but rather one of the higher tier dungeons if you can do it successfully... Either
Polar Night Tower - Banquet of Temptation
or
Oceanus Falls - Invitation to the Abyss

But stalling your levelling and other progression to farm for Mermaid... would not suggest

(At one point I thought you could farm her at the technical level - Diva in the Ice Prison..... YOU CANT)

Have never used Odin/Healer on my main for anything. Did some dragons etc early on with Ripper or resist dragon + AO.

Nowadays even if it's easier that way I still just try to muscle through with something else from my box just for entertainment value. I just hate the resist/healer play style. Even using Luci/Luci is better because the huge heal numbers and HP keep it fresh, and the monster nuke at the end speeds everything up where you'd be stuck grinding away with a heal/resist combo.

I spent a lot of stam over a day or two doing that stage for that reason when I needed blue pengdras at one point. Oops.

Stalling progression doesn't mean much when you're stamina capped and we get the same dungeons every event anyway. I had my wife stop and farm a siren at sea cave, and I'm glad I did. Now she's got one, and I've got an odin in my box, so she can do a large chunk of what she'll need to progress - like rainbow keepers and that kind of crap. How would you advise someone with like 5khp to do RK any other way? They need that dungeon to get to 10k to move on to castle of satan and the techs.

For someone with 5kHP trying to do Rainbow Keeper, I would tell them to add Velk/Sorrows/Ao/Me as a friend and use our Amaterasu and a zombie team...

If they have 5k HP they can swap out their leader for any Resolve Ogre they want and our AOs would heal them enough per turn. They would still need to be careful of multiple monsters on the same turn... but I am pretty sure that non bosses put out anywhere near 3000dmg per turn at rainbow keeper.

Speaking of muscling through...


on JP side running legendary Green dragon on 50stam with
Shiva, Horus, Goemon, Freyr, Echidna, Shiva

Get the boss to 50%, I pop Goemon, Freyr, Horus, Shiva and boss goes boom.

No way to stall with that team though... even matching an off color leads to cascade of doom.

Yeah I zombie'd them until relatively recently actually.

And I don't want to give the impression that it's not worth having a good healer or something, but it's a ~1% drop from a dungeon that is otherwise giving you jack shit. Siren is the ONLY healer girl I ever farmed for(aside from recent Naga dungeon for skill up tries). A lot. And she was the last one I got, from the REM last event. You *might* get her in a day, or you might never get her. I don't think it's worth sitting around using days and making yourself hate the game.

Though I agree, if you are capped/near and just have stam to burn go ahead. Ideally during 1.5x drop.

The other caveat for my comments is that I've had pretty great luck with the REM for a non IAP player. You could put together most of my red team with drops, but Freyr > Tyrannos as a leader because of his stats and skills, and without Horus to charge orbs you lose one of the best parts: 1st round boss asplode. Sooo, yeah, if you haven'tLUCKEDin to a few nice rolls you are going to be a lot more keen on those healer/resist teams.

RKs trash hits pretty hard. I wiped my alt acct with 6khp when I wasn't paying attention last week. Plus Odin/healer is way the fuck safer than resolve, any day of the week. You can take 2 hits with Odin, you can't with resolve. And its 2-4 mobs on a 2 turn timer for those first waves, so its not super likely to have then all seperated.

Uhh... Rainbow keeper trash hits for 2250-2450

I fail to see how a Green Odin team with 5-6k HP could handle that but a Zombie team with maxxed AO of 5-6k HP could not. The healing requirements for both are very similar no matter what the sync of knights is. The difference being... a max leveled Siren still requires 1000 heart healing per turn to stay alive.

Know what the awesome part of this game is? More than one way to get shit done. I personally don't like zombie teams, and that's okay. Can still run everything I need to with some tweaking.
