Puzzle & Dragons (Arcade/3DS/Android/iOS)

[Rysa]

I ended up yolo rolling and got a L. Kail.

[Yuri-G]

I rolled like mad because fuck it and got:

Ronia #2 (yay!)
The Norn Urd
Andromeda
Apocalypse
Shaitan

any thoughts from the veterans?

[Tricen]

Shaitan is the only eh one and it;s not that bad really. The problem with the andromeda dudes is that they require mostly rem dudes, which is luck based or IAP some. Seems legit though. I rolled garbage other than a bastet and a wukong out of9 rolls

[-Zer0-]

Pretty good roll I'd say. They don't sync together, but they're essential to many teams. Andromeda is pretty awesome, but like Tri said, requires heavy REM pulls. Blue teams are quite REM-heavy actually.

You got those 5 out of 5 rolls? That's some insane luck.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do with any of them for a while.

[Yuri-G]

huh. that good? thanks for letting me know. I'll have to research some teams to build around them.

huh #2: I didn't realize The Norn Urd was good. but looking up what her leader skill actually does... yeah, that's good.

[Anakron]

Well, they're good, but hard to build around.

Heroes (Andromeda) require a lot of REM subs that have row awakenings and can orb change (Ninjas, Riders, Greek, REM Valkyries).
Ronia is good, but you can't even use your first one yet.
Urd needs monsters that are both red and blue to make the best of her, and those are hard to come by.
Apocalypse is a dragon leader, and while they're a little easier to come by than devils in the beginning in an absolute sense, the farmable ones offer very little utility and are hard to make color-concentrated.

[Rysa]

Yeah, I would defiantly focus on Ronia for now. She is a great monster and can do a bunch of the descends, and its really easy to find max +egg friends.

[Tricen]

Urd doesn't need the blue to be good. It helps cause of the hp, but really, the best red guys aren't blue. The only red/blue guy that is really really good is Nim and a 2nd Urd. My Urd team is Urd/Urd/Gigas/Yamato/RLSuzaku/friend and it's pretty solid. The 2nd Urd is nice, but not necessary.

[Sutra]

7 rolls and I ended up with:

Dino Rider
LMeta
Perseus
Drall
Yomi
Verdandi x2

Rolling the LMeta gave me a pretty good chuckle since I already had a DMeta from the previous god fest.

[Tricen]

Managed to get 1 more roll in. Dark chester. God damnit............. I guess I will work on either bastet or wukong. Sigh

[-Zer0-]

AW YUS! Brodin get!! Challenge dungeon's blue snow globe took his ass from 1 to 88. Cleared the last few technicals for the last two stones I needed. Now to hit 177 to actually put Amon or Siegfried back into the mix. Running Bonia/Ethereal Karin/Brodin/ - /Bubbs right now. Time to grind away...

[Tricen]

Aww yissss. I should start grinding rank again. Been focusing on other things. I want to get to 150 stam so that my stones are 3 super dragon runs.

[Anakron]

Urd doesn't need the blue to be good. It helps cause of the hp, but really, the best red guys aren't blue. The only red/blue guy that is really really good is Nim and a 2nd Urd. My Urd team is Urd/Urd/Gigas/Yamato/RLSuzaku/friend and it's pretty solid. The 2nd Urd is nice, but not necessary.

That team has what? Two rows, a few TPAs, a bunch of skill boosts, and some red orb enhances? You get consistency with a minimum of 9x, and Urd's orb changes are nice, but IMO you're sacrificing a lot of firepower since you can't really burst well (compared to, say, Yamato, which you have), and you don't get any HP or RCV multipliers.

I don't have Urd myself, but even if I did, I'm not sure I'd ever play her over Athena, LMeta, or hero teams. Devil teams can probably burst better due to rows and are even more consistent. I suppose she's not bad, strictly speaking, I just think there are much better options (some being farmable) out there if you're running Urd mono-red.

That being said, she could be useful as a newbie-friendly spike damage lead, since colors are much easier to farm for than types.

[Tricen]

Athena's rcv is garbage, so you can't really stall with that team. Lmeta is always going to be a very strong lead, no doubt. I would use Yamato is I had more friends and if some of my other guys were skilled up, he is pretty sweet. Urd is just safer for me. I have cleared some pretty cool content with her. I have AmeNo and Athena for farming basic things. Satan descended is laughable with Athena. I could make an LMeta team, but ehhhh. If I had a real Sun Quan, then yeah I probably would. A TPA Urd team would be idea. If we ever get DBZ collab, ult gotenks is actual bananas. Urd/Gotenks/Nim/Orochi/Flex would be a really strong team. If only ;(

[Anakron]

Just FYI for any of the newer players, run this dungeon and make sure you get the egg that you want (either light or dark this time).

http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/mission.asp?m=1074

Just move orbs to waste turns and the dragon will talk, and you can determine what color it is by what it says. If you get the wrong one, exit the dungeon and try again.

The egg evolves to snow globe dragons which give 2xHP and 2xRCV to their respective color. They have decent stats, so they're pretty good leads for new players. The dark one is especially good, as it allows you to pair with AA Lucifer.

Fully leveled snow globes give 3 million exp to same-color monsters (2m to off-color), so once you don't need them anymore, you can use them to level your new guys.

[Yuri-G]

I can see Norn Urd being insanely good for early levels, once you have the cost to field her with a decent team. easier to build an all-color team than an all-type team at this stage, for the most part. of course, once you have that much cost you're no longer in the early levels so... hmm. same with apocalypse... I already have more than enough dragons to make use of him on a basic level, but don't have the cost lol.

I got the black snow globe dragon... I guess that's good? except I don't have many black monsters to use lol

[Anakron]

Dark leaders are fairly popular, so you can just put dark units like Vampire, Succubus, farmable knights, and demons together and you'll be very tanky.

[Yuri-G]

yeah, I just reached the point where the next tier of knights become farmable (light knights, but I imagine the other ones will come at some point) so that's nice. I wish Phoenix Knight had an ATK bonus instead of RCV though... I don't really need a stalling team; I have Sun Quan's healing madness for that if I really want to play that route.

also, I hatched snow globe dragon. so cute <3
