Fishing isn't an addiction, it's a way of life. Everything to gain while losing everything
Hralp SA!

I got my Awoken Archdemon Luci, working on hypermaxing it, but not 100% sure how I want to go with this team;

God/Devils in my arsenal
2x Hypermax YomiDrag
2x Hypermax Z8
2x Hypermax Awoken Haku
Hyper Yomi
Max Skill Persephone
Hypermax Okuninushi
Red Sonia
Mini Red Sonia
Zuoh
Pandora


I was considering something along the lines of;
ALuci/YomiD/Z8/Pandora/Persephone

This would give me near constant orb changes, skill bind immunity, 13 skill boosts (holy poo poo), 10 rows, and the ability to clear binds pretty much on a whim.

I can easily hypermax both the Persephone and Pandora during this event with minimal to no stoning.

Thoughts from anyone?

Well, skilling Elia has made farming Grisar much easier. It's not a cakewalk but makes for good combo practice since you can screw up a few times without being punished too harshly for it. I would hyper-max her but first I really want to know what Apollo is going to get (there are way too many thing I want to hyper).



She would be doing 33% extra damage.

Alright so the announcements for new crap in Japan made me go ahead and log back into my ol' Japan account. Gadius was my main dude there and seeing him get an ult made me curious, especially considering I don't have him on my NA account. Godfest going too, that's swank. I have fifteen stones waiting there so I go for it.

Ra (new)
Andromeda (2nd)
Gadius (3rd)

So apparently the Gadius love is strong in this account. Seems kind of neat. Really super behind on doing ... well, anything with this account. Not sure if I'll stick it out or not but hey we'll see! For now it's kind of refreshing playing around with an account that has way less options.

So I found a chinese streamer who had a great box, and asked him to farm machine hera with me during this 4x skillup event. The dungeon is crazy hard and long but we clear it a couple times:



We both go 0/3 :lol:

At least it was fun, and I can say that I have machine hera on farm status. We ran ra dragon with dkali/dkali/orochi/kanna and dkali/indra/zeus&hera/isis, if anyone on NA wants to give it a go. Not that hard, just long.

Has anyone figured out why game8 decided to put uuvo Pandora on A.Pandora instead another A.Pandora? Does she somehow need the damage from the dark subtype? Better stats? Needs that extra finger over the row? Lower CD? Those are all good reason, but seems like that haste is pretty powerful....

edit: Gonna guess it's the rcv, since none of A.Pandora's subs have decent rcv at all.

Zuoh's new ult evo looks pretty drat good, might have to switch out Oku for him eventually.

Also I am at the point where my bad luci team is all assembled I just need to skill up pretty much everything and it sucks. Why does skilling up most things look like a nightmare.

Time to see how far I can bring this team with no skill ups I guess.

I am in the same boat. I have a legit 297 rainbow team of Horus, Ra, Kali, Isis, and Bastet. Then I plussed my Shiva, then bought a Shiva dragon. I think I should work on subs but I am confused as well. Maybe I will do my Urd, as I use her on all mono red teams.

But I am also torn on just doing a new leader like Sakuya or I and I.

Finally reached 297 now I have to pick who it goes to. Do I hyper Diza and Satsuki to finish off my Yomi And YomiDra teams before moving on or do I jump on hypermaxing my Ra team which can turn into a Ra Chicken team.

I wish I had Indra, would make the decision a hell of a lot easier.

Farming Kanetsugu isn't too bad. It's a pretty short dungeon. I might get my second +297 yet. I can't stop feeding the high dark Ninjas to Angel Luci for skill ups though. I don't use him but maybe I would if he was max skilled. :v:

Urd is cool and has her new ult coming soon. If you use her on multiple teams then even better. Do you use Sakuya or I&I much now?

Haku, my third +297, is completely +egged! Now I need some Badpiis or dark orbs for her. Probably going to use Badpiis since I still need so many goddamn orbs for UUEvo/Awoken forms.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could consistently break the defence on the high dark ninja but I need to hit like a row and a prong with shivadra, in the dark, so I end up having to grind through it

Only rank 290 and I think I'm finally learning how to play this game now that I have AHorus. Ive been running almost everything mono-red with my Krishna teams paired with Shivadrag for 100 ranks or so. I think my AHorus subs are less than ideal though and I'm kind of fumbling my way through Kanetsagu. I'm running AHorus/Set/Isis/RValk/Okuni/AHorus.

I kind of need Okuni in there for delays right now in case I get a bad board and I know I need to work on skill ups. I also have Muse, XHaku, XPaulina, GZL and a not quite leveled NYHorus that I'm thinking could be good fits for this team. Anyone have other recommendations from my almost updated Padherder?

You're going to want to make Awoken Susano, he's a great defensive sub. Avoid 3-color board changers since Horus needs at least 4. Consider putting Asmodeus Another, Lumiel, or Fat Chocobo on your team in case you get orb trolled or you need to clear out jammers/poison.

AHorus stuff

AHorus has a really wide sub pool, and you've got a lot of its best ones. AIsis, ASusano, and Chocobo are my primary subs - their quick bind clear, shield, and DKali skills are really useful. AOrochi and Okuninushi also find themselves on my team pretty often. You could also pull off a gimmick mono-red Horus team with some subset of (RValk, Cao Cao, Set, Echidna, Kagutsuchi), plus Isis because you don't have any of the neat r/u monsters. As for NYHorus, congrats, though its more of a replacement leader than a sub. It has a higher damage ceiling than AHorus but requires a more precise board setup to reach it.

I'm running Saria/Thor so I can punch through it, I just don't because saving my actives makes it more mindless. I just need a couple more attack for Saria and then I'll probably stop chain running it. I don't know what I should plus next.

I only have AYomi plussed and soon Saria, so that covers my all the time leaders. I guess I should probably do a sub. Probably DKali since she's on my AYomi, ASakuya and ARa teams. None of those teams are optimal though and she probably won't stay on AYomi if I roll a dark heavy full board changer. Saria is probably my team with the best pieces but the only overlap with another team is sometimes I bring Apollo on ASakuya. I don't know.

Thanks for help. I'm also finding that Shivadrag friend with AHorus and all God subs gives decent buffer in case I can't match 4. Lower damage ceiling but good enough to clear most trash.

lol, I turned of the "your stamina is full, play the game now you addict" notification a while back as it was p much constantly popping up

tbh, I've been playing less, but I think it's burn-out and being too lazy to swap out from playing Shivadra 99% of the time.
I think I might bench him and actually use the dozens of different teams I've ploughed hundreds of hours into.
If I can 297 all my rad blue stuff (shut up naysayers, blue is rad) that might help

That went... better than I expected honestly. Having barely any idea what I was doing I took on Athena Descended as literally the first Descended I've ever done, and managed to win with my Nephthys team. Now that I know I can do even some of the easier descended dungeons I've got a lot more confidence in myself (but still not that much).

This is a great resource - https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleAndDragons/wiki/guides/leaders/awokensakuya

First thing that jumps out at me is your yomi. awoken her/him/it and enjoy the time-extends. Valk, fat chocobo, izanagi, even athena are fine. I'd say awoken yomi and fat choco are probably your best bets, and you can use valk until you get yomi fully awakened.

AH I missed you have Orochi. He is great for sakuya as well, as others noted. I also missed your padherder name is intronaut...love that band as well

You've only got 80% resistance to skill bind there. Which is still pretty good, mind you, but... Eh, I'm paranoid about that. Always seems to crop up when I can least afford it. Chrono Turtle, of all things, can get you to 100%, and you can never have too many HP or time extends on a rainbow leader's team.

I'm seconding Chrono Turtle as a valid option. Sometimes those time extends pay off way more than better stats, especially in 7x6 dungeons. Skill bind immunity is something necessary for some some dungeons.

80% SBR is probably fine. I mean, that's basically the odds of not getting a skill-up, right? Empirical evidence shows it might as well be 100%! :v:
