Finally got the Tao event character, and now I get two more right after getting the first.

I have been grinding the poo poo out of the event on hard, got 5 so far. I did it every cool down today, plus a ton yesterday, but I just have crap luck. I did however get enough awakening medals to awaken some rates into super fares which was nice.

I've got two on normal. It's a pretty decent one for farming up awakening medals at least. I've Z Awoken my crappy N dudes because why not.

Always gotta pay it forward.
+3 Ki on Cyber Tao is a pretty nice leader ability. I got the Kid Gohan up to super level 10 and then realized I already have Int Kid Gohan so the event is probably going to sit on the shelf for a while. Having a lot of fun with this game though. It's really wanting me to play PAD again though.

Level 20 Z-Awoken crappy N dudes give like 45,000 training experience, so they're worth it for feeding to better characters; I gave an L20 Z-A Videl to a new Cyborg Tao and it boosted him to like level 20. He's already way stronger than my L25 SR Cui, who is about as useless in this game as he was in the cartoon.

I'll probably do that once I start replacing dudes, but for now they wreck everything I'm fighting. My Z awoken Chaotzu with like four super levels can almost one shot cyber tao with his special. Or maybe he can, I don't know he never goes first.

My super level 10 Kid Gohan from the event does almost 30k damage to Cyber Tao on Hard. It's insane.

Just so you know, that Kid Gohan's leader skill is TEQ (green) type ATK increased by 20% :black101:

New Story event replacing the Gohan one will let you get R Nappa and R Vegeta, presumably also farmable but it's not active yet so not totally sure.

The major problem with that is that on a non-gimmick team (I.E. my Z-Fighter all TEQ one) running 3 of one type is a liability. I was trying that with Vegeta and SR Burter and SR Goku and had major issues until I balanced my team out (leaving two AGI). I think a lot of that was Goku and Vegeta had very few links, so they sort of gimped any row they were on. If I got all three in a row? No buffs and getting wrecked by TEQ guys.

It isn't farmable, you get them at specific points in the story, one time on each difficulty.

e -> I think you can still get them up to 5 or 6 special attack anyways, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Interesting. I'm excited for a new mission that isn't X-HARD, I'm high enough level to have easily finished the Hard missions but wipe pretty easily on the X-HARD missions.

No, he's just really rare. I'm not noticing any difference in drop rates on Hard or Normal to be honest so I'm just farming normal because it's faster. Maybe the hardest difficulty has a better drop rate but I get wrecked there.

I also get wrecked on Z-Hard or whatever, but I farm hard due to the better rarity capsules and the better rank Exp. I have been doing his mission alone for the past few days and have yet to see him drop today :(

I don't farm Hard because it's basically 50/50 if I win or lose without using items right now depending on when he uses his super move. If he uses it one one of my blue dudes no problem, if he decides to spam it on the few turns there are no blue guys to absorb it then I'm boned.

His haunts are not confined to the valley, but extend at times to the adjacent roads...
Does SR Cyborg Tao kinda blow or is it just me? His Leader skill is okay, but if you already have that role filled he's kinda lackluster. I wanted him to replace my R Tien but he's pretty much the same. One thing I do like about him is he has a link with SR Dodoria.

I wanna farm him some more before the event is up, but am I right in saying that farming and training him will only make his Super more powerful? His overall battle performance is still gonna be on the weak side, I think.

Oh well. Worse was spending near 50 stones for the new SSR Gohan and not getting it. :smith:

Yes, this should be the easiest thing to do and should level you up pretty well.

And I just used a Vegeta from the last event and found out that he and Cyborg Tao have a link. Nooooooooo, I farmed that poo poo all loving day and didn't get him once. :negative:

e: Another new event was just announced through the News panel. Starts 7/30. The obtainable character is SR Jackie Chun, and I'm pretty sure it's a chance drop unlike the Vegeta/Nappa event starting soon.

I wonder how good those R Vegeta and Nappa are going to be. I have an SR TEQ and an R STR Nappa and they're pretty soild and we all know about the SR event Vegeta.

Also got a R Spopovich. Why is there an R Spopovich? I mean, he has Brutal Beatdown and Tough as Nails, so heck yeah, but still, why?

This Monday awakening event is an easy way to level up common greens and feed them to better characters. Every enemy is blue, so a green team will dominate. If you have a few heavy hitters (like that Kid Gohan that everybody spoof get and level his super attack to 10 because it takes basically no worry) then you can fill the rest of the team with garbage greens and still cruise through Hard.

That kid gohan is my biggest hitter by far, doing upwards of 24-40k on a super. Pants-shittingly amazing!

This game really needs some sort of achievement system like Dragon Blaze or something. I'm in the last set of levels on Hard, so I'm running out of options to get new Dragon Stones. I wish you'd get stone or money payouts for hitting different rank milestones or getting X number of Super Rares or something, just to keep it all flowing.

I've done 2 levels of Z-Hard and it takes a TON of healing poo poo and buffs, so not worth it. I plan on using Jackie Chun rather than Tao, but I'm farming Tao on Hard because it's easy and I can usually get some supports out of it.

Also, with today's seal event, I've farmed enough for 4/5 of my SSR Vegeta's Awakenings.. Just need to get a Supreme Kai (and a fuckload of Zeni)

I have Z-Awakenings for all my characters. Just have to farm zeni to afford it. 500,000 for each is quite annoying.
