Trying to signal boost for a friend here a bit. He's rocking Urd, Verdandi, Parv, and Shiva right now. Still low end stuff but he'll be looking for another BFF when the reset happens. He eventually wants to get Awoken Shiva and Parv going. Main leads for him are Urd and Verdandi for now. He won't be playing 24/7 but he does get on every day and has been doing a pretty steady slow grind. Obviously preferring to snag him a friend who works well with his Norns and can transition to his Awoken Indian 1.0 goodness later. Hypermax is a preference, but he's not exactly picky. Dude BFFed me even though I told him he ought to find someone with stronger poo poo.

Drop me a line if you're interested.

Wednesday Mythical needs to stop giving me green masks, I already evo'd Dino Rider and I have the one I need for Marine Rider. Just give me some blue masks so I can evo Andromeda and get the Lakshmi train rolling through Mythical descends.

I posted a few days ago I was looking for a post-reset BFF triangle, and The Jumpoff chimed in as a possibility, he said he usually runs Urd and A. Lakshmi, while I'm usually some mix of Verdandi/Andromeda/Beelzebub/Urd. None of mine are fully plussed (I'm totally going to get those drat plus eggs for Andy one day, I just can't bring myself to farm them), and there obviously aren't exact matches, but some solid synergy, so if this works for your friend we might be able to set up at triangle.

Since the triangle i was going to join sorta fell apart (unless Lurkzilla wants to find someone else) I should probably just use my bff soon. Is there anyone with Class Monitor athena who can put/has her in the bff slot?

The X-COM project did not deliver the universe's ultimate cup of coffee. You have failed to save the Earth.


Given the number of people still looking for BFFs, remember it's costing you up to 200 pal points a day leaving your BFF unused. That means you've lost out on like 75 free pal rolls!

When we get another round of BFFs, it pays to put it to use asap instead of sitting on it.

IT IS SAID THE TEARS OF THE BWEENIX CAN HEAL ALL WOUNDS




I simply used mine, found someone on the sheet that seemed good. Who seems to have stopped putting Ronia up, but that's okay, I have plenty of ronia friends.

I have Ronia/Awoken Horus/LKali up most of the time, probably working most on a Goemon team.

I think a hypermax Horus is top of my list of wants. Would love to get in a post-reset triangle.

Seriously, gently caress you, PAD Island. I hate you. Why is this dungeon so stupid hard? I'm running LuBu+Ronia/Haku/Hanzo/Vamp+HyperRonia, Lu/Ronia are max level, rest are 60ish, everything is max awoken and Vamp is max skilled. I'm getting routinely crushed by the 40 stam version, and the two versions lower than that never drop anything (I just want chester skill-ups, and wouldn't mind a few Hera-Is skill-ups but I don't have awoken yet so it's not like a huge priority or anything). I'm working on replacing Vamp with Persephone, but that's still a ways off (especially since she's unskilled). I don't have any good mono green or blue teams. Horus seems like a terrible idea and my Horus subs are considerably less developed than my Ronia subs. Why is skilling up a chester so much to ask?

So I decided L. Kali is my 3rd hyper max target, since she is a great sub and leader, and mostly because I have Ra and an Isis, but I still have a ways to go before I can make A. Ra and be good enough to use him, but 4 for 5x leaders don't seem too bad.

So I guess my question is, what is the ideal L. Kali team?

hahaha I was finishing off my stamina and had a 4th shynpy appear. It didn't drop though! I looked up how rare these guys actually are and I'm seeing like 1000-3000 stamina per drop? On top of that I can only hold 137 stamina because my rank sucks. That adds up to some ridiculous luck, wow. I kind of wish I didn't use them to skill up right away so I would have gloat.jpg. Maybe next time.

I have more unopened pal point mails than I can be bothered to count. Until they start making special pal machines more often and implement monster points, I'm not crying over missing some pal machine rolls.

For older players I can see this, but for new players they provide critical chances for rare evo mats that would be otherwise unobtainable. Also someone still leveling their own lead rarely gets many pal points from others.

Yeah, mono-Green's easily the best way to go for that dungeon. I did it with Awoken Parvati, who was particularly nice because of the healing bonus and immunity to Bikini Meta's double leader bind.

I haven't been able to awaken my main's Bastet yet, and my only green subs are row based(2x GGY, 2x Perseus) so mono green is a bit poo poo for me. I have Horus, XQ, Goemon and Ronia max leveled, so I might try a dual XQ team later with echidna for a tight spot. I doubt that will be much better but it's worth a shot. I've got XQ+Ech/SQ/DKali/Valk.

This is only going to be true for a very small minority of people given that top tier evo mats/jewels come at 50+ stamina a pop, and skill up a bunch of really good poo poo which are often good dupes.

If you have mono red or green teams (Verdandi or Urd come to mind), I can throw up Awoken Ceres or Awoken Minerva for you, I've found their ability to halve dark damage made the dungeon go from really challenging to average difficulty in no time flat. Both have slightly bumpy spots (Amon for red teams, the red devil for green), but neither was too bad. I'm Spam SA, 319,845,334

Hey, the new 8.2 version in Japan scales the damage numbers for your mons when they attack. So, when your big manly waifus do big manly damage you can actually see how much you're doing.

I tested up to the tens of millions (Anubis) and it is perfectly readable. Now we need Paprika to show us a few billion in damage.

Kali team isn't too bad I guess, Max Kali, Max Kali, Max SQ Slvl 3, 86 lmeta and 297 Beelzebub for an extra heal/stat stick (I really have nothing else dark wise that's worth using)

I'm actually currently WORKING on my green ABastet team - mostly need a few tamadras, about 40 total levels, 3 green jewels (cauchemar come to mind?) a Cauchemar (got it!), another green mask and an Extreme Metal Dragon.

Just getting back into this game right now. I maxed out Verdandi finally (although I have a second I should probably work on too), and Ult. Evoed Athena (which would be more exciting if she wasn't totally outdated :sigh:). My understanding is that my teams are a bit outdated for any new Japanese stuff; so it goes.

...having said that, what would be good subs to keep an eye out for to supplement, say, a rather lucky spin on the PAD Island Egg machine that got me a Beach Blanket Pandora? :sweatdrop:
