Everyone ever gets Ronias left and right and I still haven't seen one; I have the best fucking luck. I'd have a great Blonia team too if I could get one of those since I have three Blodins too.

I'll trade you one of my 6 Godins or Ronias for one more Bodin!

If only we could...

[Anakron]

btw, Anakron! did you get anything good? I know you were saving your stones up for the Godfest exclusives. not sure if you rolled or not.

The two pantheons weren't that good for me, since I have most of Indian 1 already. Got a junk unit, then a Lakshmi, so I stopped while I was ahead.

The exclusives are there every time, so no rush to get them. I rolled a few times during PC godfest, and got Verdandi, so I've been working with her now (made her my #1 slot). Too bad I went 0/10 on her skill ups (on 2.5x rates too).

I need to start rolling the way you roll. I really should have stopped at Durga. I find that when you roll until you get one really amazing pull it usually happens fast; when you roll for more than one it goes on and on and on... and one thing I learned from this last Godfest: NEVER roll for a particular monster.

NEVER.

EVER.

grats on Laksmi, sorry about skillups

as long as I'm here, my PAD bitch for the day: I hate leveling heartbreakers. I understand why it's so difficult to level a farmable monster this useful, but I still hate it. fucking Vampire Lord has been sitting in my box for ages and I finally started pushing him toward 70... it's taking forever. relatively speaking.

It took me a fair amount of bad/rage pulls before I wised up a bit. In the end, the probabilities stay the same, and the only thing that changes is how you mentally perceive things. But yea, rolling for a single monsters is just a bad idea, period.

You should generally stop leveling monsters once they hit 60-70, unless you have way too much fodder. Outside of late bloomers, you get significant diminishing returns after that.

Fuuuuuu, Tama today!

oh no no no, I mean leveling heartbreakers in order to evolve them. I hate how they have a 1.6m XP requirement just to reach their final (pre-uevo) form. at least I know Gigas and Vampire do.

I need them so bad. fun story, last time this dungeon came around I was trying to stall on the first floor and calculated devitama's damage. I realized I could stand one more hit with under 100 life but I was like, ok, I can make that work - he'll be dead next round.


I did not realize that regular tamadra has a 50% chance to do a small (very small) attack as well.


yeah.

Ah, yea, they're certainly the oddball when it comes to evolution. But you generally only need one (of each color) of them, and they're so useful early that it's not too bad.

And if you're lucky enough to get the REM Valkyries, I don't think you'll mind leveling them up at all.

[Yuri-G]

ha, if you offered me a BValk at 10x the normal experience cost I'd take that in a heartbeat.

[Kachiko]

Looks like PAD Academy dungeon may be coming to NA, from 6/22 - 7/05. Could also mean we'll get a festival, with that collaboration, as well. I can't find the link, but I saw a JP page that estimated the school versions at about 1% drop rate, with the mini gods up to (I think) 10ish %.

[Yuri-G]

I got excited about that for a second but apparently the gold egg rates at the PAD Academy REM are abysmally low. sucks because the PAD Academy cards are not only adorable but super-useful.


as long as I'm here...


F/W Shiva or F/D Shiva?


at first I thought F/D was a no-brainer, but looking at my box... I have a ton of top-tier Ronia subs but so few F/W monsters for Urd. yeah, I think I'm going F/W.

[Mrf]

Day 99... and I've gone 0/2 on my last 2 Pii sightings (~600 stamina)... I just want one more red pii so I can get hypermax Ronia on day 100 ;;

[Tricen]

Wait for Awoken shiva then win game :D. But yeah, Pii farming is lots FUN. ARE YOU HAVING FUN?!

[Mrf]

The worst part is... at my current rank farming alt Castle of Satan puts me like 1-1.5 runs left to rank when I finish a bar of stamina... wait the time for stamina to regen or stone once and get another 1-2 ranks... the decision is tough!


Verdandi team and spamming a hypermax Dandi BF makes the runs quick at least

[Yuri-G]

Wait for Awoken shiva then win game :D. But yeah, Pii farming is lots FUN. ARE YOU HAVING FUN?!

Everyone keeps saying this, and I keep reminding them there is nooooooo way I'm getting those materials anytime soon lol


Awoken Shiva is in my future though!

[Tricen]

Yeah I usually just time it where I rank up as my last stam is used so I get 2x the runs before the timer runs out or I run out of stam. That way you are pretty far into lvl next time. I've farmed prolly about 6 flampys so far. I hate that it's C9 for the flampy this go around

[Yuri-G]

if anyone is bored, I set up the teams I'm working on in padherder and always welcome constructive criticism. I feel like these teams are fairly solid and worth investing in, given what's in my box. the devil teams especially because there's so much overlap between them. the Bastet team is more of a luxury because it just looks like fun, if difficult to play and not entirely practical, but the others look pretty solid to me.


note that these teams are flexible, as all teams are. I wish padherder let you add alternates in the team setup but it doesn't, though it does allow you to make notes.

I'd throw Persephone on the Pandora team; maybe over Lu Bu or Vamp.

[Yuri-G]

just curious, why is that? I was thinking the lack of a row hurts her for that team, but then again this is why I'm asking for advice

[-Zer0-]

I'd probably throw her in over Vamp cause she's a double orb changer and is fairly quick. She may not have a row enhance, but she's got a TPA to boot. Vamp simply has stat boosts.
