Puzzles and Dragons

Double Odin on Hera has been a great success. It's faster than Odin + Healer due to lower HP requirements (allows more room for subs) and an extra Gungir. My 500 auto-heal on Odin was enough to heal through every hit. Still has nothing on Multipliers, but I don't have the team (or likely the skill) to burn through Hera.
On the plus side, I've gotten 2 skill ups, my Hera is now down to a whopping 28 turns. It's going to be a long road.

Should I use my Pal points while the current event is going on or is there a better one to wait for?

Edit: NM, the Pal event starting today sounds much better.

Usually ideal to save them up until a Super Kings/Kings PAL event, but if you are still evolving lots of things there's no problem rolling during evo mats event. Every Rainbow Keeper etc you get is one less you have to spend stam on.

Keep in mind you can only save up to 50 PAL rolls. Which is 10,000 points. If you are drawing near that number just go ahead and dump a few rolls and hope for a Tamadra/Siren/Titan.

Time to use hundreds of staminas to get 3 skill ups on DJ!

So far this waswildlyoptimistic. Gotten 3 total DJ drops, 1 skill up.

Should I be running expert or the middle one for DJ drops? Since the middle one has 2 of them for the boss fight is the drop chance a little better?

I've gotten a fair amount of drops (9 total so far in about 250 stamina), and 0 skillups. I'm seriously considering burning a stone during the 2x event today.

I did the new descend on legend to see if I want to try on Mythical... if the two demons are on the same timer, you're fucked. One will hit for 99% of your current hp, and the other will hit for 5k to 15k. It's retarded.

At what point can you start hoping to tackle some of these dungeons? I glanced at the Athena descend on the wiki, but the shit seems assbeat hard. All the neat shit drops there, but it all seems like shit you already have to have, just to get through the dungeon. Seems counter intuitive.

I, for about the 10th time, started the descend without paying attention to the rules. Luci team in a no dark orb dungeon GO!

As for descends in general, I believe Df posted a nice little chart of difficulties in order recently. No luck finding it right now though. Basically Hera and Two Heroes are the first descends most people manage. Lots of guides out there if you want to look, probably some great ones on Youtube.

Looks like 2 ultimates for Horus/Isis each with color swaps.




Red/Red 4x for 4 colors, 4.5x for 5 and Red/Light 4x for 4 colors, 5x for 5 colors, R/L requires Angelit




Blue/Blue 3x for 3 colors and 3.5x for 5 and Blue/Light 3x for 3 colors, 4x for 5. B/L requires Angelit



edit: Some 6.2 details from Japan.

* Challenge mode you get your full friend list regardless of when they logged in, not sure if you can just re-use the same ones.
* No friend leader skill and no PAL points.
* No continues allowed.

Also with 6.2 you will get another team slot for every 100 ranks. So 7 teams at rank 100 etc etc.

12 DJ, 3 skill ups so far. Only 2 of the persephone monsters so far though, which makes me sad.

I guess you didnt notice... but on mythical they both have a preemptive meaning... that they will ALWAYS be on the same timer. Pretty sure its same for Legendary

Preemptive 1: Light hits for small dmg -> 2 turn delay
Preemptive 2: Dark Hides all orbs -> 2 turn delay

Turn 1: clear the darkness and hope to get something...

Turn 2:
Light: Sucker punch for 99% dmg or 17k dmg
Dark: 10k+ hi


I had no issue going in with anubis even with no black or robin with no green... or robin and anubis

Been screwing around with Challenge stuff haven't tried anything harder than ocean of heaven yet...)

Not that its very difficult once you have a beefy team... After ocean of heaven, you start getting stuff that can one shot you... and not really feasible to have enough dmg multipliers to sweep stuff... so you either bring dmg reduction... or you know... coordinate a bit and have someone put up a healer to abuse LOLCannons with... I am sure the technical dungeons will give me a bit of a harder time.

I was bored after burning all my stamina so I loaded up endless corriders technical version on iPad. Managed to clear it before my stamina capped out. I went with an explode team. "luck based". But its cleared and got the stone. Not sure how many others have cleared it.

Descend Difficulty (in my opinion) - From Easy to Hard

Hera
Two Hero's
Hera-Ur (mythical difficulty is MUCH harder)
Hera-Is
Zeus
Goemon
Valk
Satan
Takeminakata (excluding anubis/robin teams)
Zeus Dios
Athena
Beelzebub
Izanami

Not counting Tengu/Draggie conditionals as they are ridiculously easy the right team and nearly impossible with the wrong.

Now... if you have a SoD Lucifer team... the order is like this:



Zeus (gravity gravity gravity gravity lolcannons...)
Satan
Takeminakata
Athena
Beelzebub
Izanami

Everything else is not worth mentioning

You'd place Takeminakata that far down even with the ease of Anubis/Robin teams clearing? Or were you considering a non absurd multiplier team?
I've been lazy on Descends with not really caring for the drop, so I've only ever attempted (and completed) Hera, Two Heroes, Valk, Goemon, and Takeminakata(this morning).
I guess I should actually try to get the Heras and Zeus when they pop up next.

I think the 2x drop rate actually drives down the chance that you will get the persephone monster. It would drive the chance of getting DJ down too but the stage five solo spawn drop increase offsets it.

I dunno, there's always the chance you'll get a first floor like I did with the lady and a Pierdra. Since something dropped always on the first four floors during 2x, it was like I couldn't fail! (Except that I have no Pers, so it dropped that)

21 runs on 2x netted 11 Pierdra for 2 skillups. One from done, but went zero for four trying to get that one. Not worth a second stone with a week to go.

Yeah, I am not sure about Takeminakata being down that far. If you are talking about grind team difficulty, I agree, but with it being a limit color dungeon, sweep teams just blow it up. I one stoned both legend and mythical and in both cases it was just because I screwed up multiple combines.. meanwhile Hera-Ur on mythical made me grab my ankles repeatedly..

To answer this, pretty much what I did (keeping in mind I did not have a luci lead which makes life much easier) was:
- Grind tower of giants to around Level 80, this gives you enough of a team cap to make a decent team
- Build up an auto-healer and then on Hera do a healer / GOdin team through legend. It really does not take much of a team to get through it on legend, this will give you a gravity -- do it a couple times until you have at least 2 of them (you can feed one to the other down the road if need be)
- Alternately you can build a cheap zombie team to do the same thing (super easy to make, 1 auto healer + 1 titan as leads -- just pray the lower levels aren't on same turn hits)
- Once you have your double gravities, it opens up some options for you. If you have a Loki/Luci/Batarang batman, you can build a nice all dark grind team that can get you through most of the legend decends

What are you using for a team now? Do you have the people on this board as friends, there are a LOT of really good leaders available from people like DF~ and Intrinsic which I used as a crutch until my team could stand on its own!

Max skilled my first DJ... and waiting on Dubs to max awakening him too...

8 wicked ladies so far.

8. Bind Reduction: Match 3 hearts... reduce binds by a turn. Not sure if it works if that one is bound though!

Click to expand...

My ceres does not. if she is bound, her un-bound mojo does not work. I rate it at a 'pretty handy' in that i can unbind my HP giving luci buddy or astaroth pretty easily.



so um. how do I 'back up' my game data to keep it secret and safe?

In both iOS and Androidcases the file you are looking for is: Data048.bin inside of the documents folder in the game directory.

For iOS you can use ifunbox to navigate to the app folder and make a copy of that file.

For Android: Titanium Backup works... as does ES File Explorer... I think both require root access to do what they do.

I've been hoarding stones for a little while now, and am up to 35. I see this next Godfest is a pretty good one, but the only thing I want from it is Kirin or a BlOdin. I really shouldn't roll with just 2 things I want, but I probably will. I look forward to feeling shitty about my pile of toy dragons and vampires.

can i just connect my phone to my PC and drag the file over to keep it on my computer?

I dont play PAD on android anymore... so I am not sure... I suggest letting one of the android gurus in this thread help you out as people have lost their account due to strange syncing stuff and I dont want to be responsible for that!
