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