I need so many dark orbs. I have one right now and need them for Diza, AAnubis and mini ronia. Beez and D/R Batman are also possibilities. Then I need 2 for AYomi on NA. Then eventually I'll want a Zaerog8, but that will probably take me forever since I still haven't gotten a single Zaerog to drop. I've used all my stamina on Satan today and still no invades.

I was hoping to get at least 1 dark orb today so I don't have to decide between Diza and AAnubis.

And I even wrote a parenthesis explaining what "ease of use" means on that list :suicide. "ease of finding subs" is part of "ease of use". Anyways...

"Player skill for this leader if of the utmost importance. It is not an exaggeration to say that, if you are able to master this guy, then other leaders are not necessary"

So yeah, it is a starter leader for hotshot players.

Regular Zaerog drops in Z8's place. You'll get like twenty if you are trying to skill up your Z8. And yeah, dark orbs are the most useful ones, don't waste them.

3 ATK away from hyper aka I'm using that tamadra from tomorrow because i don't give a poo poo. Looking forward to 10 more pys that I won't bring myself to use for months if ever at all. What's everyone working on nowadays? I'm a few super metals from Z&H (for Kaliseum) and I'm planning to go hard on Z8 for Yomi. Helps that I have a hypermax Haku I can switch to Awoken for that team.

I've been working on getting my Karin fully plussed, considering whether or not to use Bubpiis to max skill or or submit myself to the torture of hoping for Karin invades on easy descends during events. I'm leaning towards the Bubpy method personally, though she would be competing with Awoken Isis and I know academically A. Isis is the better target for them.

After that I'm not sure if I want to refocus back on D. Kali as my next 297, or focus on A. Isis instead who is fantastic sub on any rainbow team, a great leader herself and would also contribute to my A. Karin team.

I'm still working on getting my A.Ra team fully plussed. Kali #2 is almost there. Isis is next.

Also the best place to get Zaerog is dragon rush since he comes evolved. Now is the perfect time to grab all the pirates from coin dungeons too if you don't wanna grab them from his dungeon (which you should farm for skillups anyway)

Hit 200 days played (:toot:) and was pretty happy with the progress I've made thus far. This is a fun game (except for the lul before being able to clear KotG, that part really, really sucks) Here is an album with all of my progress so far. I haven't whaled too much, so the progress I've made in just 2/3rds of a year seems pretty cool to me.

Next on the to-do list is Awoken Minerva, Awoken Ceres, and my Nephtys team.

I usually have Bestcat, Sarasvati, or Horus up (Sara and Horus are slots 1/2 respectively) so if you wanna friend me my code is 312965319

Bitching in the thread worked. I did one run of Satan, ranked up and did 3 more runs. I got 2 dark orbs. I'm considering stoning for stamina since Satan is so easy and it's unlikely I'll need to stone even with an invade. The invade was turn 1 once and even that wasn't a problem.

I decided to make a kind of janky skill bind Athena team with Apocalypse, ARa, Wukong and L/L Kirin. My LKali isn't max level yet so I went with Ra and Kirin for more HP and a little extra set damage on Satan. Wukong and Apocalypse make some hearts so I don't have to worry about taking damage. I think the two Athena do enough damage to kill everything not Satan or Haku themselves.

I used my 2 remaining piis on AKarin but I don't have an Isis. I had already used 2 on ANeptune, I think before AKarin was announced. My other blue pii target might have been AOrochi but I don't think skilling him up is as big a deal. Skilling up Karin means I might reasonably be able to use her twice in a dungeon. Orochi is probably only getting used once.

Isis does seem like the right call though.

I'm really lazy about farming +eggs. I guess it's because I don't feel like I really need them. I have good teams but it doesn't seem like they are epic enough to tackle the content that pretty much requires pluses. The pluses I have are mostly on Athena, the rest are scattered over random things I do use. I haven't made any +297, Athena is +276 and my second most plussed monster is Apollo at +40 and those were all from a really long time ago when I was running him as my farming leader. I figured he was a good investment at the time since he was the best Kirin sub and she was my best Decended leader. I think the 3 monsters I have gotten the most use out of are Apollo, Athena and AMinerva so I shouldn't really be upset I plussed Apollo or spent stones to get Zeus Vulcan or Athena mats.

Hoping for some descend advice. My absolute priority with my alt account (PH: https://www.padherder.com/user/TheQuietWilds_Alt/ ) is to tackle the descends needed for awoken mons, particularly Shiva, Kagu and Minerva. That means I need:

Zeus Vulcan
Hera-Ur
Wangren
DIza
Theurgia
Pheonix

Right now I have decent Verdani and Urd teams, but neither seems ideal to tackle most of these dungeons. If someone could look at my PADHerder linked above and recommend me what to work on with the goals of clearing these dungeons in mind. My current next thing that should happen is LKali evo/uevo/leveling (she will get my globe dragon as soon as I get a dub myth, already have the KoG). Currently thinking of trying to get a U&Y team off the ground (since just on a freak of luck he got a super on a globe dragon and max leveled himself after max skilling him for shits as I ran skill-ups for my BGronia) for ZV/Hera-Ur and using Verdani for Grimoires. Phoenix I'll form Skydragons I guess? Once I can do Shiva+Urd/Urd/Cao/Dragon Rider that should be enough to get DIza/Wangren for Kagu I figure. At that point I can run Shiva+Kagu/CaoCao/Urd/Urd which should just murder everything for a good little while.

Having A. Isis's skill on a 3 turn cooldown sounds really drat nice, being able to pop that multiple times in a descended for bind clearing or taking a big hit sounds super nice. On the other hand hypermax monsters are really attractive for getting people to friend or BFF you, and by god Karin deserves it for all she's done for me.

I think pluses are the best thing to aim for when you've got a few well established teams IMO. Ever since I've hypermaxed my Urd and put her in my first slot, I've been getting a constant stream of friend invites and in general a larger amount of user PAL points. They're also fantastic force multipliers for any team that gets a boost from HP and RCV from leader bonuses, or has a defensive steroid like A. Karin. It's also a really nice boost to damage, and the more pluses you have on any team, the more mistakes you can make.

So get up off your arse and get to farming... next event.

I felt the biggest lull was Hades. That was before I found this thread though. I cleared it pretty easily after that. I was still having fun though. One thing I do like is sitting down and figuring out a team that can beat a dungeon based on the things I have in my box. I was planning to level up a weird rear end team with an Archangel leader, Genie and Orochi to get past Hades. I know it was a pretty stupid idea now but I think it would have worked if I would have stuck with it. I had a Kirin in my box at the time, and maybe Apollo too, but I thought her leader skill was so far above me I didn't even want to try.

There are still a couple of things I need to beat. I need to beat Legendary Seaways and Legendary Mountain Path in Challenge Mode and I haven't gotten around to beating Legendary Hills or Paradise of the Holy Beasts at all. I guess I always feel like I have something better to with my stamina.

Speaking of Piis, I have no use for my Flampiis right now and I'm not really going to be pulling too heavily on godfests any time soon, would it be terrible to use them on Harley Quinn to skill her up for my Urd team? Dropping her skill timer sounds pretty drat nice. It'd be a while (potentially) before I could get it to the 7 turn timer, but she's be a fantastic replacement for Mitsuki.

Well, didn't do much besides farm +eggs this weekend, and annoyingly I averaged under 1 a run (for all of the usual spots) until like two hours ago, when the average finally went up to around 2 in sky dragons. As a result, I'm a only little over halfway done on SS Isis. Hopefully the RNG is a little kinder next time, so I can finish her.

The worst part is when you get a 12 combo cascade with Awoken Ra on Hera-Sol without an active skill, and it still kills her from 80% HP.
It's bad because I wanted to knock her below 50% to get a free turn to heal up before eating DQ Hera's preemptive.

I'll make a list time, maybe.
