I've heard V-Bird is okay mostly due to his action speed but not exactly exemplary. Shu has his 7 star and he can build spirit like a monster so if you have a meter hungry frontline he may be a better pick.

The lilith art is far from the most embarrassing, her face is drat weird though.. I'm happy most of my goals are done by Ravian. :v

Did a 10+1 roll this morning and got:

- Avnore
- 2x Constance
- Draven
- Labella
- Morgana


Not bad considering that's a lot of 4-5 * but it's not great... unless avnore is a good mid/defender dude? I was hoping for Meta/Malcolm/Lucid :(


VV Thanks a ton ZepiaEltnamOberon. I was in need of dark defenders/healers :)

Avno's a 5* healer who's gonna get a 7* later. He's pretty useful. Throw him in the back line. Max his active, then his position debuff.

You can overcharge with the restores. I have 41 and it just sets me to 100+whatever I have.

Thanks for the heads up on the dark elementals, I snagged 5 5* ones and a bunch of 4-stars. That should do me on evo's for a while.

I was kind of worried about evolving Dale, because my other evolutions have been liabilities until they got back up to a decent level. Dale shows up with like 250 HP at level 1 and is still a murder machine.

I'll just keep using Shu, I'm tired of leveling new 5-stars and he's a good enabler for a pretty spirit-hungry team, yeah. If I replace him, it'll be a dark player, maybe I'll get insanely lucky and scout a Metatron? :suicide:

MetAtrons must be the legendary card for the week which means you have a tiny chance of seeing her in Scout lineups. You can reset the lineup for 15k gold if you're out of those reset balls but people regularly spend million trying to get legendary players to pop and get nothing to show for it.

Only spent 1 million on my end, but no Meta in sight. Passed over what must have been my third or fourth Blade, though, and some other 5*s that weren't too important. Did get a Littre, so there's that.

Managed to get 300 crystals with Colo Awards + Collection (got my first evo'd Mera) but drew no 5*s. At least my Durahan got another Superb?

Not gonna bother with anymore gold scouting until the last day.

Avnore is A tier and the only healer we know getting a 7* in next update most likely moving him to S tier

His active is also the best heal in the game. I don't see a better healer for the backrow unless you're doing mono. Am I missing something?

Man, it is such a slog getting the final levels on 5*s. My team's not good enough for Hell matches, so I'm stuck getting 1600XP a pop on Very Hard rival matches. Is there something else I could be doing to make this less of a grind? Right now I have Bora, Lillith, and Avnore in the mid-40s and it takes a stack of penguins to do anything. I guess it's okay if I only do one or two at a time, because I probably won't have room on my team for all of them if I evolve them and I only have the materials for Bora and one of my dark 5*s. Should I upgrade Lilith or Avnore first?

Edit: Penguins are nice, but expensive to train with. So now I have Bora almost ready to evolve, but no money. :(

Scout Kumas if you can. You can also earn a couple every season (i.e. every two weeks) in the achievements. The higher the card's level, the more gold per card it takes to level, so try to get as many levels as possible with as few cards as possible.

A 5* Kuma (if you have one) will give something stupid like 40 levels on a fresh 7*, so use them wisely.

Also, are you using penguins of the same element? There's a 20% bonus if you use matching elements, so that helps.

I would suggest upgrading Avnore first. He can really swing games.

I've been trying to be judicuous with Kumas, now that I can reliably get to the right level in the seasons. I scout them when I get them, too. I just evolved Bora, since I had her at the right spot and Avnore's going to require a lot more XP than I can manage for the new few days. My front line seems a little fragile with two fresh 6-stars (one of them my striker), but I think that'll even out eventually. At least if someone breaks Dale or Bora, they run into Lindsey or Lilith, respectvely.

I think I'll do Avnore first. Losing Aura of Bloodsucking on Lilith would probably break me. Also, uh, now I can't afford him in my team. Oops. So yeah, it'll be a bit before my next evolution.

I'm at the point where I can auto-play hell, but Ultimate matches are still devastating. Also starting to hit a brick wall in the Challenge matches and keep stalling out around 26 in the colesseum. The pvp matches are always a mystery depending on who I'm matched up against.

I haven't hit past 23 yet, though that may be cause I'm too lazy to manually play Colo unless I'm up against a Champion. I do need to evolve more of my characters though. Why couldn't I run a mono-light team? Neris are good for jack poo poo. And the game keeps giving me light players. I got an Anael from the 5* player log-in reward and she's apparently the best defender ever.

But no, me and my determination to be mono-dark for life. I wish I could get a Metatron. Then I can be dark & light for life instead.

May 6, 2007

I'm slowly moving my team to a mono-dark. Hated to switch out Latios as my frontline striker since her shoots have a really nice ability. (20% heal each shot for the whole team!) but compensating with a decent assist player to make Lucid and Ravian absolute monsters. I ended up with a near fully superb Fontus too so he's holding up the back line if the ball ends up there and needs to break through. Got Avnore, Malcolm, Lilith and Zibroi to round out the hurt. What would be nice would be a Roald if he shows up, then I can move Fontus up to midfield and have strong penetrators on all levels.

Seems like a lot of folks play Dark in this thread. Luckily Bora can hold her own without a boost, because I haven't seen a good dark striker yet. White Tiger and Shu aren't bad, either. The game keeps giving me Mins, though, almost like it's telling me to put him in over Shu.

My main team is pretty rainbow, but I've enough cards to make mostly Lightning, Dark, and Light decks, usually ignoring goalie and striker/assist. It'd just take far too much time and resources to get them even to lv 50, much less doing things like grinding Kumas to seven star Blade. If anything I'd probably take Uriel to 7* because as others have said gently caress Neris, Meras are more valuable then Neris and he doesnt even do anything yet.

The Alkyde boss match is scheduled for tomorrow, and she's apparently a fairly decent assist. I'm going to spend all those 100STs I have saved up for her. (Still using a Jackson, lol)

Don't put two strikers in your front line. Lucid is probably the better striker in a vacuum, but Ravian has an insane ace skill for a mono dark team. If you don't want to cut either, you might try moving ravian to the mid line and using Lucid as your striker. Just don't level Ravian's active if you do that.

EDIT: If you want to see the insanity of a Ravian-based mono dark team, check out this vid:

I have a feeling I am gonna walk away from this event without an Alkyde which is all I wanted from it really. Ultimate is a bitch and I've blown about 400 Stamina on Hell with no drop yet


Also, as for Strikers for Dark, Lucid is really amazing in PVE but her main useful passive (Eclipse) is completely worthless in PVP since the AI doesn't know how to use it so it makes her very eh outside of Colosseum and non-tournament PVP
