    So this challenge dungeon we got, I've been tryin to clear as much as possible with anubis. Been going ok so far. I cleared cauchemar with shiva cause I died once since I forgot about the dark absorb. I'm only doing the easier dungeons. Will save the harder ones for teams I am actually good with lol.

    Man did that 99 stamina evo dungeon blind and thank god I could proc Ra/Kirin the vast majority of turns (every turn but 1) as that had the potential to be nasty given the stamina cost. Bit disappointed the drops aren't even 100%. For 99 stamina they should be! I got 3/5 drops and not even good ones at that (Dub Myth, Devilit, Green Dragon Fruit)

    Started on those Challenge descended dungeons. Got excited as Tengu is an option (need him to evo Orochi) but then saw that I don't have any leaders to do him. Booo Was gonna try with the fire exp dragon thingy as lead with Tamadra Rodin subs.

    EDIT: Also it's kinda sad at how easy these older descends are. Back when I last played they were hard to clear and stamina took forever to regen (10-15 min per stamina?). Now it's like just waltz in and get all the drops. I don't remember them being this easy even though my team is basically the same (except for friend leader).

    Yeah lol, it's kinda funny. Hera-Ur used to be so hard, now I just go in with Anubis as practice... Hera-Is is surprisingly still useful. Very high weighted stats for a farmmable. Also Dancing Queen Hera-Ur is a pretty good farmmable lead too. Although not many red farmmable devils, you can still go dark based. I think a lot of the descended bosses are getting ults too, which will be cool.

    Sad thing is I still technically can't do Goemon as I don't hit the minimum HP check for his pre-emptive. I guess I could pop Kushinada as I clear the previous round.

    But yeah it seems even my identical team from years ago got a big boost. Partially through more awakenings, partially through a better friend lead and partially because L/L Ra got his ability boosted. Using Kirin/Ra, everything just melts unless it has a move to screw me over. Will have to think more how to handle them.

    Are the dungeons where you start out at level 1 and level up hard? I just don't know what to expect.

    Goemon doesn't have a preempt. Ultimate Yamato Rush Goemon has a preempt. But this one just hits kinda hard.

    Ah, it's just a first turn 20k smack so can easily be delayed or mitigated. Not sure why I thought it was pre-emptive.

    What about the dungeons where you level up? Should I just try it and see or is there certain teams you should take?

    I would have to see what kinda teams you have to work with to be able to tell you. Those dungeons are quite hard and unforgiving. I would say Nordis is the easiest, followed by Z8 then Scarlet. Z8 is kinda weird though since there's a mechanic that is really useful in his last form.

    Aw yeah. Went in semi-blind and stomped C10 Kali. Was really hoping to utilize new Andromeda on my Sonia team, but had to switch her out with Amon for turn 1 board change. Turns out the rewards were wrong. Went in for a Bubpy but ended up with Badpy. I think it's correctly updated on PADx now though.

    Man, I looked at that C10 Kali and just went lol no. I have no way of getting a turn 1 board change and I have no way of withstanding Goemon pre-emptive (My HP is ~18k). I got up to C6 blind, then looked at the other and thought they are probably beyond my current team.

    On the plus side I stumbled into the multiplayer dungeons today which are amazing because they are half stamina right now. So it's great exp/stamina ratio and the drops seem great for exp'ing cards.

    I think I have good cards, I'm just a lot of evo mats / skill-ups away from them being useful. Right now I just use what was good back in the day but not so much now (L/L Ra, Awoken R.Odin, Kushinadahime, U. Evo Amon, Echidna, Awoken Sakuya for friend lead)

    Yeah, I didn't know blonia could spike 20m+ damage in 1 turn lol, that's pretty sweet. I will prolly try it with Yomidragon and pray that L kali spawns :<

    I went in with Bonia/Bonia/Bodin/Amon/AwokenI&I. Beezelbub was no problem with max-skilled Bonias. I actually had trouble with Goemon cause I forgot he had Golden Pipe and kept killing him above 50% or whatever. Lucked out with LKali and comboed like a fiend.

    I need so many Keeper of Rainbows and I see it is still a dick and basically Tuesday dungeon only. I've not counted how many I need but it's probably not an exaggeration to say 15+

    Managed to get enough Devilits in time before the day turned over to make my new Awoken Archdemon Lucifer. Time to blow shit up!

    Next Ranking Dungeon looks fun: Takeminakata with no actives and 5 floors. Think I'm gonna run through it with A.Shiva.

    Are any of the rewards from Challenge Descended really worth chasing? Like I know a lot of them are good but are there any that you really shouldn't miss out on if you can help it?

    Here's what I cleared so far

    Spoiler: show
    Two Heroes (Money)
    Divine Queen (PAL Points)
    Chivalrous Thief (3k MP Thing)
    Almighty God (Fire Orb)
    Holy Goddess (Water Orb)
    Shining Goddess (Green Orb)
    Fiend Prince (Dark Orb)
    Demonic Fire Queen (Auto-Heal)
    Welcoming Sea God (Wood DMG Reduction)


    Here's what I have not cleared

    Spoiler: show
    Corpse Wyrm (+15 Tamadra)
    Mountain Ascetic (Water Dragon exp thingy)
    God Of The Seaways (Imp. RCV)
    Demon Prince (Imp. ATK)
    Hedonistic Demon (Imp. HP)
    Underworld Guardian (Ext. Move Time)
    Arboreal Queen (Fire DMG Reduction)
    Mei Zhou Lang (Water DMG Reduction)
    Frozen Hell Demon (Light DMG Reduction)
    Eternal Dragon (Dark DMG Reduction)
    Hall Of The Divine King (Flampy)
    Mechanical God (Bubpy)
    Phantom Dragon King (Woodpy + 5K PAL Points)
    Knight Dragon King (Shynpy + 10m Coins)
    Hell Demon (Badpy + 3k Monster Points)



    Also 7x6 boards are hilarious. I hit for 16m with R.Odin alone at one point (on neutral damage). Row enhances on a x80 multiplier

    Clear anything you can. I could probably not try the top 4 or so though.
