Politeness costs nothing
Since I had a full stamina bar, I tried Yomi Goddess - Legend with a light team for the uevo mat for tsukuyomi. I figured I'd get beaten like a dumb idiot or not get the mon, but it turned out to be pretty easy.

My team:
Musical Winged Star God Pollux
Yellow Sky Fruit, Lemon Dragon
Yamatogoto Playing God, Sandalphon
Sanctuary Messenger, Archangel
Archangel of Creation, Raphael
Helper: Capricious Summon, Fat Chocobo max skilled -- This fat little fucker was incredible. 2.5x HP, poison resist and an additional board reset made things pretty smooth.

I let Pollux deal with the poison and jammers as much as possible, with lemon dragon providing some extra +light orbs comboing with pollux. I had enough board control that I only took poison damage once.

As an added bonus, I got more than what I needed:


Now I just need to shovel xp into Yomi Goddess and Tengu...

E: Jesus, 4 million xp for the tengu? Holy poo poo.

IMO 1 Awoken, 2 super-ult. Awoken is generally best used as a lead and super-ult as a sub.

It's a better use of stamina just to run the 50 stam tama level, unless you're completely opposed to stoning for stamina, have less than 100, etc.

e: the main bottleneck is dub-topalits, so if you have a bumper crop of those, go hog wild next time you see gold dragons up on the schedule

Eh, I think Awoken's extra row and haste on her active makes her a better sub for herself, though super-pando's huge rcv means you should take along at least one of them.

Now my AThor on my alt account is absolutely raking in the pal points and BFFs. I'd get even more if I could refresh it more often. My theory is AThor is a effort evo that needs piis and pairs with Saria an out-of-the-box leader who skills up off Queen Golds.

The common wisdom is that it's more stamina efficient to feed babies directly, but I've transitioned to a mixed strategy: keep about 3-5 babies on hand, feed the rest straight. You can slowly evolve the babies over time when you have spare mats floating around from stamina you need to burn during the week or the evo machine or whatever. Run the 20 stamina version of the urgent Gold Dragon Infestation when it rolls around, that'll give you about four of the basic gold dragons you need for babies, and you can work on collecting the other stuff while you wait on that dungeon. I need a few Dub-Amelits to evolve some things for example, and I'll likely end up with spare Dub-Topalits while trying to farm them.

Gungho has been unexpectedly generous with the Tamadra dungeon lately though, having it in the rotation every two to three days for the past two weeks. If it keeps up it could obsolete evolving babies entirely, although there's no telling if it's just something special for all the events going on or if it's going to be normal from here on out.

Although, NA has permanent easy mode arena 1 even with all the OP new leaders that cruise through arena 1 without breaking a sweat.

For comparison in JP, arena 2.0 came out and replaced arena 1 around the time of awoken bad luci.

So technically you have infinite easy to farm piis.

It looks like coin z8 (and scarlet etc) in JP is going to have permanent 5x +egg and latent invades.

So it will still be worth running at 50 stamina, compared to coop version at 25 stamina but without those bonuses.

Maybe you already know this but what you really should be counting is BFFs, not just friends in general. Since BFFs are worth 10x more, it pays to put up leaders who'll get you a lot of BFFs or you already have a bunch of who use something.

Plusing Sakuya seems like a pretty safe bet to me. Very strong leader with prongs and you could even just use her as a bind clearer for another team if you needed to.

I have no shameDragons so am mostly worthless as a BFF

I did decide though that gently caress it, anyone still using Athena at that high a rank deserved to be judged for it, and swapped mine out finally. Put in my +297 A.Bastet in slot one instead, hypermax AParv is my main, and ASakuya is in the BFF slot getting plussed.

With just 1 Pandora I'm thinking to wait for the new UltUlt or whatever.

Askill: Pretty close to a wash; haste vs. 1 shorter
Lskill: Advantage Awoken I guess, but I have A.Bad.Luci which is almost the same so meh
Awakenings: 1 row vs. prong/finger, and these new dark row teams are pretty starved on fingers so that's nice
Typing: UltUlt retains god, might be relevant
Saving four badpiis: Advantage very much UltUlt

Feeling pretty good about Z8 Mythical+ solo mode, currently 2 for 3 on the runs. :c00l:

The failed attempt ended on floor 1 where I decided to learn if I could kill the dragon plants with prongs instead of burning a Kali (spoilers: I couldn't).

Smooth.
Do you want to be friends with a hypermax Awoken Pandora with a full set of time-extend awakenings? Of course you do!

317 948 376, HPGren[SA] and Pandora is always up in slot one. Hyper A. Shiva in two.

A. Pandora is all-devils, all the time, with the usual orb-changers / buffers / debuffers as needed. I usually run Pandora/Haku/Hanzo/LuBu/BValk but I sub in Chester for full skill bind resist for farming, Lilith of Jize for high-def, low hp floors, and Loki/LuBu/DMeta for extra boost or awakenings as needed. Ronia is a decent stopgap for a full board changer with a dark focus.

If you max skill a monster, then you change it to a different ult where it has a new skill, then you revert it back to its original form/skill, would it keep the skillmax?
I made both of my Hakus Awoken, and if I were to pursue A.Pandora as a leader I'd have to change them back to Devil. I'm not 100% convinced I should, but if I have to re-skill them then there's no way

Nothing great to farm for +eggs today, so I guess it's off to farm for Stones to blow for when Sowilo rolls around again.

Anyone know what the +egg drop rate is like for Santa? I think mats don't drop as + ever do they? So floors 1&3 wouldn't drop plussed, so the rate would be pretty poo poo I would guess.
