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

[Yuri-G]

I've had some weird issues. load time issues, and also a couple of times the game booted me out for no reason. one time that happened and it kicked me out of a dungeon, but the stamina was still used... yay

yesterday's adventures:

pretty happy that I've gotten to the point where I can run Spirit Dungeon Expert without a resolve team.
pretty sad that out of the ~6ish runs I fit in (I'm sick as fuck and haven't been playing much) I got exactly one dub-sapphlit

the struggle is real.

[Yuri-G]

best thing about weekend dungeon is big numbers, lol. even without the on-type bonus if I get lucky with skyfall on the boss and toss out all of my actives I can hit upwards of 1.5mil. and this team isn't even that strong yet.

I keep trying to screenshot but I can never time it right, or when I do the skyfall screws me out of combos

[Kachiko]

95 pulls on the PEM, during the current Rare EVO carnival event, and here's the 'good' stuff I got:

Vampire
Lil Black Dragon
White Dragon
Ancient Blue Sacred Mask
Ancient Green Sacred Mask
Red Dragon Fruit
Blue Jewel
Dark Jewel
Mystic Mask
2x Light Keeper
2x Dark Keeper
Earth Golem
Yellow Chaser

Stoked about the first three, but everything else is a giant 'Meh', for where I am right now; was really hoping to get more of my target list: Gold Keepers, the Blue Golem, Echidna/Siren/Lilith, and the Red/Blue rippers. I'll get a few more rolls, before the end of the week, but I suppose now I'll level the stuff I got, while I wait for PCGF, and see what I roll there.

[Yuri-G]

jealous. I need one more ancient blue mask for Andromeda, and I can't see myself getting one the hard way anytime soon. I rolled 10x (all I had) and got absolutely nothing worth noting... oh well, it happens.

healer girls would have been nice, that sucks. but they are apparently very rare in the PEM. Vampire is badass though; a dark staple for sure, a good roll even though he's farmable.

[Tricen]

Vampire is annoying to farm. He used to be in the REM but then they removed him and the golems from rem and put them in the pal apparently.

[Yuri-G]

oh no, he's still in REM too, as are the golems. although maybe it's only the evolved forms; I've gotten a couple of golems Mk III and a Vampire Lord from REM.

I mean really, Gungho's gotta have troll pulls to keep us rolling, you know? lol

BTW Kachiko - have you done the challenge dungeons yet? the first set of three should be very doable at your level if you have decent monsters in the right colors. the rewards are decent: 500k gold, 2000 pal points, and a super king gold dragon respectively. and if you beat all three you get a magic stone!

[Tricen]

Oh nvm, vamp can still be rolled. The removed The following monsters have been removed from the Rare Egg Machine:

515 Princess Valkyrie

226 Great Valkyrie

★4

Could do the first two, but I don't think I could do the third just yet. My dark Monsters are some Dark Keepers, Vampire, CT Wicked Lady, Drawn Joker, Snow Globe Noir, & Black Dragon, with less useful a Mid-Dark Ninja, Hahahime and Shadron; they don't have the Evo/levels needed to do more than a hail-Mary, right now. Might try 1 & 2, for the money/PAL points.

Then again, there's only four colors, and I usually match 4-5 a round, and I have orb changers that would make the board even darker, so, maybe I'd do okay. I've never done a color restricted dungeon before.

Question: Would a team of Kirin, 3x Mystic Masks, <insert light monster>, Amaterasu lead work for Tuesday/Friday Dungeons? I figure it's easy enough to stall on the first two floors, then just fire off skills on 3-5 for easy wins. I could sill keep an Ogre Lead, instead of Kirin, just in case.

[Tricen]

Yeah, now that mystic masks are Ra ability, those type of dungeons are laughable now.

any tips for Super [insert type here] Dragons Descended?

I feel like I should be able to tackle this, but I can't. my best defense breakers are the dark/light golems and I don't think I could stall long enough for their actives to go up. a high HP/RCV team would lack the damage to make the defense break worthwhile. I could break 100k damage naturally but that would require actives being up and lucky drops or being on type.

maybe I just need to wait? but I want the XP, and I want to skill up Hermes damnit.

or I suppose I could just grind up some Mystic Masks... but even then, how would I stall long enough for their actives to be up?

maybe if I wait until I've got more skill boost awakenings, hmm...

If you have Lucifer or Snow Globe Noir, you can do Lucifer/Noir, Keeper of Rainbow x3, Poisoner, friend lead Lucifer/Noir/Ares/auto-healer. This usually gives you 34-64k hp to tank anything and everything they throw at you. The reason you want to try to get one or two Lucifers is to Morning Star the super king at the end.

When you're high enough, you can replace the Keepers with other high HP dark mobs like Bonia and Brodin, then add another poisoner to speed things up.

[Tricen]

Lead with some skill boosts or something/mystic mask/mystic mask/mystic mask/mystic mask/GRodin. Easy mode right there. Just stall floor 1 for masks and then plow through the dungeon. You might only even need 1 or 2 masks and just go in with your normal team. The only scary one is a super king, and you can just mask them lol

[Vandole]

meimei got an awoken form today. physical/attacker 4k hp 1780 attack with 2 twoprong awakens among other things? lord have mercy, awoken bastet is going to make life easy for me.

This also makes me need 7-8 green pii's... fuck.

http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=2075 her as a lead is going to be slightly viable as well

a decent awoken bastet team will always have enhanced orbs too, with a 1.5x damage multiplier... ontop of the x16....

mother of fuck. c10 will be ezpz if you have her now

[Tricen]

Well, she got a buff. They released her Awoken like 3 weeks ago or something. But yeah, that's ridonk. Only problem is she loses god type so athena cries

[Yuri-G]

thanks Tri and Zero. I have Noir but not Luci. I'll cobble something together; I'm confident I can do it but it might take a bit of tweaking and some stamina loss.

on the bright side, I beat Keeper of Rainbow today without a resolve team. so happy I no longer have to slog through half-hour battles with that asshole.

[Tricen]

Yup, it's a pretty sweet feeling Then you will be able to plow through masks/lits dungeon without a cheese team, and then you will look at challenge 4/5 and be like, I think I can do that now. It's pretty sweet when you start tackling harder content.

I can't find the correct video and am too lazy to make my own, but here are samples of what it looks like to go in with a Lucifer team.




Even with trash mobs you still get a ton of HP from Lucifer/Noir/Ares buffs as long as they have dark attributes. I get something like 65k HP going Lucifer/Bonia/Brodin/Lilith/Lilith/Lucifer.

I usually just go in and stall a decent ways until Morning Star's close to ready on the 1st-2nd floor. If Super Kings invade, poison would be up in a few turns and takes 4-5 turns to kill.

My typical runs are:
Floor 1: Stall
Floor 2: Kill with TPA/Rows
Floor 3: Poison
Floor 4: Poison
Floor 5: Morningstar/Gungnir to kill instantly

I haven't done it myself, but the Fey series do 35k against their oposite dragons (15 turns), which takes down anything you would run into. Tricen mentioned Mystic Masks, which should also be able to do it. Floor 1 Super Kings will end that run though, but that's the floor you would stall on.

My Athena team won't miss her. Now I can get rid of her and just throw on my Valk instead. Will need to look for a replacement for Verche though.

Need to max my apocalypse now, and awoken Venus
