Did the ranking dungeon in JP once and got 27% with some very lovely Shitbirding. Will go for it again for sure because apparently orbs and Fagan can drop? I got a red orb and Fagan. Anyone know the rates for this? I'm completely out of purple orbs so I feel that this might be a good opportunity to get some.

Greetings Earthling! Do you have any Zoom Boots?
I really want to run Scarlet and Nordis but I have no idea what teams to use for either. I've been able to beat z8 a few times but every time I've tried Scarlet it has been a disaster. I'd really appreciate it if someone had the time to look through my box (https://www.padherder.com/user/vasler-SA) and give me a team suggestion.

Good luck Valicious! Someday you'll succeed in your Haku quest.

How much will I regret getting a shame dragon (Neptune Dragon)? I know I've got a reasonably good team (hypermax Hermes, AKarin, Gabriel, flex), and I've got enough points to get one. I could even plop two skill-delay resists on if I wanted. I guess my concern is that it'll be outclassed soon/isn't really necessary. Help me make/not make bad decisions. My box, for reference.

I've beaten Zaerog Infitity before, I don't know why it's become such an unscalable wall since then. Truthfully I don't really give a poo poo anymore either. I realized even if I did spend the time grinding it I'd probably go 0 for 15 on skillups again, and dear God I just cannot take the grind anymore. Yeah, I still enjoy it--so does a rat who figured out which button dispenses a treat. But it's not good for me, so gently caress it, I'm out.

Anyone wants an endgame-ready account (rank 465, multiple hypermax inc. Shiva Dragon) send me a PM. First come first served. No I don't have an up-to-date PADherder, like hell I'm dedicating any more time to this. You get what you get.

I was in the same boat as you, sitting on 400K mp and unsure if I wanted to take the plunge (lol) for neptune dragon or charite. Finally said gently caress it and bought neptuna for the exact reasons QuietWilds pointed out - neptune is the tits for farming zaerog infinity, which will hopefully motivate me to farm it. My team is far from maxed yet so I haven't used to its full potential, and I'm missing hermes (gently caress you game) but I'm impressed with karin/gabe/hatsume/andro. I'll prob sub out karin for mori once I skill him up. He's a dope sub on ai&i/ryune teams as well.
Also whatever gets released in JP won't arrive in US for a while so that helped tip my decision to try out a shame dragon.

Yeah. I don't want to fall into the trap of never using a "precious resource" in case I really need it eventually, since that defeats the purpose of having the resource entirely. And if the rest of the next set of shamedragons are like Ragnarok, then lol.

lol so the information on the new Zeus-Dragon's interaction with Pad-R is out, kinda. They're releasing Zeus-Dragon, Hera-Dragon, Hephaestus-Dragon, Noah-Dragon, and Gaia-Dragon. They're only available at certain locations across Japan, each dragon available at a certain location on a certain day. The closest one to me is like 5 hours away, so, say goodbye to ever getting any of those!

Pretty cool to release powerful monsters and only give like .01% of the players even a chance to get them.

Lol chill, that's just the release, which we already knew would be restricted to the festas at the start.

I might be able to make the Kyoto one since it's pretty close to where my parents in law live, so the wife might agree to go together. Still, they are all annihilation difficulty dungeons so I'd prefer to carry some scrub who stones for me in return, rather than host it myself. That and :effort:

Also, super hot protip straight from the JP blogosphere, solo mechdragons today has stacked 1.5 drop rate with 20x +eggs even though the latter is not displayed.

This is the second best +egg farming method, but since the best method (coop 20x mechs) was nerfed, this is currently the best in the game.



Haven't had a run under 7 yet. Mostly 8 or 9. Super super fast.

If +eggs farming continues being this easy, someday I'm going to run out of things to egg.

The shame dragons are some of the best possible leaders in the game, even if they're outclassed some day down the line you'll still have really good leaders. I don't regret Shiva dragon at all other than once my team was max skilled it became too good for me to bother with my other teams

I have basically no dragons. I shoved a bunch of random bullshit into a team with Drawn Joker as leader for half dark resist, and just picked whatever friend could help the most (which was Gadius) and slowly tried to grind down zombie dragon for that sweet +15 tama. I actually got the final boss to ~30%hp but got unlucky with heal orbs :(

Not sure if I ever bothered running Devil's Domain before, but doing it for the no continue challenge-get to floor 3 with Mephistopheles, bump him down to juuuuust under half, he starts a countdown with "3". Oh cool, I can stall a turn or two, clear out the useless orbs and save some green/blue/hearts (AParv team) and not have to use actives. Use my next turn to clear out a bunch of orbs, think hit once with one poo poo blue for a tiny bit of damage from AIsis, okay we're good.

Instantly hit with a gently caress You attack, game over

????? Okay then.

Attempt two was successful though, easy -pii

So, now that I've tried a really good shiva dragon team... I don't think it's actually easier for farming than A.Ama. Better in that it can do more, certainly, but you actually have to make combos sometimes to oneshot everything. With A.Ama, all you ever have to do is stall up skills, use the skills, and make a 3-combo with 3 light prongs(or rows depending on subs) to kill the HP threshold bosses, with random lazy prongs and bejeweled to kill trash as normal.

Thankfully, this account also has a better A.Ama team than my main in addition to the shiva dragon team, so I'll never have to git gud.
