There's some folks that believe in the streaky RNG on +eggs just like folks do for the REM. Including that Chinese dude that's rank 500ish and 2500 +eggs or whatever with no IAP. They say if you do 3 runs and no +eggs to take a break for an hour.
==========================================

Are Godfest only Gods effected by color carnivals? I'm really leaning towards building a Shiva team eventually. Curious if I should just wait for any Godfest during a red carnival and hope for Rodin/Ronia.

They aren't, according to what I've read. ROdin will be much harder to get than Red Sonia just because Sonia is a 5* like GOdin and ROdin is a 6* like BlOdin and DTron.


Also, Super Golds tomorrow, finally.

Roughly every two weeks, so I'd expect one to show up along with the Valentine's Day events.

I'd probably wait. Even the blue festival going on now doesn't help you any, since there's only one thing in it (Umi&Yama) worth keeping as a starter.

Second on the waiting.

Out of 9 runs just now of OOH got five plus eggs. Feels about right so wasn't disappointed. Feeding off all the little stuff is getting difficult though. Most of it is going towards my third, fourth, unevolved stuff in case I want to use them later for awakening. Just can't justify feeding 10k XP to a level 90 creature for 50k gold or whatever. That is with not bothering to max level before feeding them off, never bothered with that.

I still think Isis is one of the best "just get fucking started already" starters. U&Y is massive

I guess, but there's no real reason to rush to get started. It's not like he's missing a week of free stones or Tamadras or whatever. If the alleged Tamadras for Valentine's Day start up before the godfest does, I'd start rolling again and I'd probably call Isis "good enough" if I got her at Lv.30 because of the festival.

If I was starting now, I would probably keep Andromeda (the best thing in this gala), Seiryuu, Isis, and U&Y, with real consideration given to Idunn&Idunna and Hermes. I'm not as big of a fan of rerolling for a certain god as I was before. You're not gonna be doing descends for awhile no matter what your starting pull is, and you're gonna get a lot more free pulls later on.

Which they still won't even hint at. People going apeshit on their FB and the answer was "We'll announce something soon". Which is what it always fucking is. 2 fucking weeks after we got the neutered version of 6.3. Gungho NA is full of cunts. Jp/Eu branches are very communicative.

Was reading through the Shiva thread getting excited for that team potential and someone linked this tool. I'm pretty sure it is telling you which orb combination is best when you're using different row enhance. Toggle the number at the top.

It's what will get you the highest damage multiplier on a 2 color screen with various row awaken amounts. Guy said he's working on making it more robust as well. Which is good since I've seen lots of people end up with 19/11 split after using Sonia and that's not on there.

I'll just put this out there - my first account I started like 14 months ago or so i think - close to the beginning of this thread. At the time I rolled till i got neptune - a lot of the good leader cards didn't exist. It seemed like a good monster given the necessity of poison and the fact that neptunes wasn't matched by anything else - well 300 days later, I never rolled a spike lead or lucifer in spite of only rolling godfests with chances at those. Retired the account around rank 140. You might not have shit luck like I did - but if you start without an end game leader and intend to spend no money - your account can hit a wall with bad luck in the rem. The only monster you get that you can guarantee is the first one, and it can matter a lot. If you don't care if your account might be gated from certain content due to lack of the right leader stable, then stop re-rolling. I wish I could have back the 140 ranks / and all the grinding I did on my other account. But I've used the rem 4 times, and got a AA luci and an Orochi. Much happier even though the rank grind sits before me. My other account only completed a couple descends out of the bunch, and the Luci Account completed two heroes at rank 66, when you just hit 50 stamina to even attempt it.

You can pull a level 30 God from the REM during a carnival if that helps ya.

Not a Metatron, Odin, or Sonia. They aren't part of the carnivals despite their color.

It doesn't. At all. You monster.


edit: Just took a run at Athena with my Kirin team. I managed to shit every bed within each.

Gigas you get 3-4 turns to stall before one shotting him. I clear a couple dark orbs first turn. Clear 3 more second turn and manage to cascade a Kirin combo. I have to assume I could have avoided this. So down he goes too early.

Cu Chu I'm doing fine. Wearing him down and healing up. Low HP and he does the 99% thing. I heal back up 8500ish. Finale hits for 8524. Motherfucker. Use a stone because he's 1 small combo from dead and the board is set up nicely.

Siegfried and a nice board. I pay very close attention to the board. He takes a few combos, but since he doesn't attack until you do you can set up a big combo. Very clear path, I move a green down and eliminate a horizontal 3 combo of darks(no attack), no risk of anything up above linking. I thought. 3 green row drops from the sky. So my off color on Valk hits him for like half a hitpoint. Just enough to trigger him! Awesome. Dead me, time to go away.

Probably should have left the dark orb eliminating until later, but I needed to kill some turns for Kirin's gravity and that doesn't tick down on no elimination combos. Ugh.

5 OOH runs could level me by ~7pm. Super Golds at 8. So I guess I'll do that and get gold runs in. Fuck Athena this time around. I need to just skip new Descend attempts for a while and focus on the grind. Ugh.

Also we get Red Pirate Dragon starting tonight. Still no word on a Valentines event, Europe has had their info for like 3 days but that's cool. Fuck us.

Oh wow, Chiyome skill-ups. She's due for an ultimate too, since Hanzo is getting his soon.

Super golds played out well, despite only having 80 stamina and having to do a weekend master in between golds so as to not waste a retarded amount of stamina. Ended up getting 1.25M gold xp banked for...something. I wanted to do Valkyrie first but I don't actually have any dubs left because Sieg and Cu Chu keep eating them all. So I guess I go with Verche since I can at least get him to final form if not all the way to ultimate (fucking dubs again).

Ninjas and Riders are all scheduled for Ultimates.

From an official tweet, translated

"Ninja and Rider series were not included in the ult evo poll because they have already been confirmed. "

Pretty curious to see what they do with Riders. Gryps is popular in Japan because he's a devil/attacker that has a row enhance for dark so he fits in Sonia/Andromeda/Satan/DMeta along with his dark friendly orb swap(light > dark, heart > light). Plus skill ups from the Baskin Robbins collabo. Rest of them are basically unused.

Over here we don't have enough Tamadras to maximize those teams in general without spending $$$.
