Okay, sorry for the newb questions here but I just started. I got a "Flame Archdemon Belial" (a 6 star Devil I guess?) for my first 5 stones, is that good enough to start with or should I keep rerolling till I find something from the list in the OP?
Also, it won't let me put my Flame Archdemon Belial on any of my teams, do I need to be a certain rank or something?
Thanks.
While I'm not as dedicated to the theory of one starter only, I will admit you'll have an easier time if you're planning on playing long term with re-rolling. It wouldn't be terrible to play just to learn what you're doing until rank 40 or 50 and then make a decision, once you know if you love the game or not.
Of course, if you are the type or person that can't bear to lose some (largely trivial) progress, this could backfire.
At worst, you could just play during the free stone days, clear early dungeons, and see if you can score a better God in the first 2-3 rolls worth of stones (wildly unlikely). If you do, then the Belial is gravy.
And your Belial has a team cost that is more than your team can support. That will go up every three ranks at first, later every two ranks.
Whatever you pick, good luck! And try to find something that fits your playstyle - Lucifer can murder anything, but if you're not a fan of slow, steady progress followed by auto-win boss battles, he might not be your cup of tea. I mean, winning all the time must get so monotonous, right?
Edit - also the first post list doesn't include all possible Gods anymore. For example, if you rolled a Horus (or to a lesser degree, Isis) that's an amazing start. Similarly, you can go far with any of the named archangels (except the light one, because light is brutal), although Lucifer >>>>> the others. I've seen some more current lists, probably on Puzzle Dragon forums.
