This is my first-ever exposure to Awoken Parvati and, as I took a A. Sakuya into this team against her, there's no real way I'm going to know how to control my damage enough not to keep healing her.

At least I have 99 turns to learn :suicide:

I've been playing with Krishna/Set/Ilm/RValk/CaoCao/Shivadrag as my top team for 6 months or so and can do about one-third of the mythical descends with that team. I finally have 300k monster points. Should I buy a Shiva Dragon or wait to see what comes next? Seems like with Shiva Dragon I'll get higher consistent damage for sure but my peak damage probably won't go up by much.

Right you are, I'm used to seeing a team in a 5 mon format.

To requote, Krishna does have a higher multiplier but Shiva Dragon is much better for farming and he can do about 95%-98% of all content.

Although it really depends on what subs you have for each MP dragon. If you decide to go with Shiva Dragon, replace Ilm with another fire god with prongs if you are going to stick with that team. Ares, Urd and Markab are good subs.

My girlfriend has Awoken Ra and Awoken Bastet already, but she also has Kirin and Yomi and is wondering which of those to focus on next. I think Awoken Sakuya is capable of more dungeons (and she's used to the play style), but all she really has for that team is L. Kali and Valk. Yomi may be weaker, but she has Satsuki, Haku, Loki and Izanami. However, the chances of her having the patience to skill up Zaerog8 are miniscule. (Alternately, she does have an Astaroth, but I know little about how Awoken Astaroth works.)

Thoughts? https://www.padherder.com/user/evensprkSA/

Sakuya/L.Kali/Super Verche/A.Yomi/Flex(usually a delay or a defense up) is a nice Saku team she can build.

A.Yomi/Satsuki/Haku/D.Iza/Z8 is the "default" Yomi team.

She can do no wrong with any of those. As for Astaroth, forget it, she's perhaps the leader with the most restricted sub list in the game. She's great if you have them tho (your gf doesn't).

Michael x2, and then add a sprinkle of Valk, Artemis, Freyja, or Kushi. (If Artemis then a single Michael is ok). Maybe devil MeiMei, Sasuke or Xmas Alraune.

For a similar role? Zuoh, but he doesn't combo with Satsuki (he works with Hanzo). The angel2.0 (the one with the bell) and Typhon also work in that role. Otherwise Hanzo, Persephone, Okuni, Pandora, Akechi or other quality orb changers are always good. Yomi is not that selective, since most of the damage comes from her leader skill not from rows or whatever, you just want a steady supply of dark orbs and some way to deal with binds when necessary, which has been made much easier with skill inheritance.

I run AYomi / DKali / AAnubis / Okuninushi / Akechi. DKali was there for board change but since AAnubis takes care of poison and jammers, she's not really necessary. I just haven't replaced her yet. She's still my ghetto bind clearer but I usually just bring an entirely different team if I've got serious binds to worry about. She's serviceable if Okuninushi or Akechi eats a bind and I want it gone.

I'm still working on my Z8 and I need to skill up Akechi and Okuninushi.

I've got a second Akechi and I'm considering sticking him on my AYomi when we get that option on NA. Or sticking Hanzo on her. Not sure yet.

There are probably better options but I don't have them. Still really love playing AYomi.

If you're going to put a skill on top of a 8-turn one it better be game-changing, since you probably won't be able to use any of them again. Akechi is super-great for Yomi, pretty much custom made for her as a finisher. Hanzo, at 13 turns, is meh.

Edit: Been trying to build a mono-blue Yuna team. The (orochi+nut based) damage is crazy good but there are so very few decent subs to cover red and dark. Some people suggest BR orochi but gently caress that noise!

You have Akechi and Zuoh, which are key, and bad luci is a great complement (god killer, skill bind resist, and row sweetness), you can throw some better skill, like Okuni's, on top of him. For row stuff Grisar can be farmed. Finally, you have some random devils that could be useful (maybe): Anubis, Gryps rider, Lumiel, Durga. There is also Aamir but Anubis and Lumiel are unbindable so you could put a bind removal on top of them.

So Akechi/Zuoh/Luci(w/skill)/Flex


skill-bind immune, 13+ rows, three heart makers, zuoh->pando, pando->akechi, etc.

Awoken Luci is so good. I woke up this morning and thought I'd finish the challenge descends so I hop in Takeminakata and immediately notice the board looks...odd. Oh poo poo he's one of those weird tricolors without dark, thought to myself, oh well, only 50 stamina.

Not a problem as it turns out, it's only five turns and I have six dark orb producing actives ready to go. The orb hide doesn't even matter when you use Akechi on that turn (which is way better than usual because there are no wood orbs to take up space) because now all your dark orbs are enhanced so you just line up the pulsing orbs. Takeminakata himself is trivial since you brought a dark team with two god-killers against a Light/God type boss.

edit: I keep running out of Luci/Pandora friends on days where I actually use all my stamina. 304,463,294 if you have one of those up semi-regularly.

On the flips use to my Elia woes, I just remembered I had 10 queen gold dragons for My Sarias. Maxed skilled one and got the 2nd to SL3. 7/10 was nice. Also maxed skilled Sumire with masks while I was at it because why not.

Crimson Butterfly

Just cleared a set of challenge dungeons for the first time (not counting the descended challenge dungeons). 1-8 were with Verdandi, tried 9 a bunch of times and failed shamefully w/ A.Yomi (Zaerog kept absorbing dark and I couldn't keep up the healing) and A.Sakuya (not consistent enough with her to get the big damage when needed), then cleared 9-10 with A.Pandora on the first try. She made healing through Zaerog's dark absorbs on 9 easy, and has great damage control for carefully getting past Parvati on 10 while still being able to burst hard.

Based off that, I think I'll commit to hypermaxing the rest of my A.Pandora team for trying Arena (only the A.Pandora's were hypermaxed for these challenge clears). My subs were D.Valk, D/D Haku, Akechi and Pandora. I also have Zuoh, Hallraune, Loki, A.Lucifer and Prongdora available. What composition out of these would probably make for the most consistent Arena team? And would it be better to team up with another A.Pandora (which would require one sub be A.Lucifer, to deal w/ predra) or A.Lucifer? Also, how many dark resists and skill delay resists do I need?

It's tempting, for sure. And 200 pal points a day on my alt is actually nontrivial, I'll need to pour tons into the rare machine too for the phoenix. I guess for now just using something in the bff slot on my main might be enough, ignoring shiva entirely, to get through tons of poo poo.

I also have Hanzo but he and Akechi are both R>D changes which is not exactly ideal. Maybe Okuni instead of Z8 or Diza, too.

Loki, A.Lucifer, Zuoh, Akechi for subs. Loki ensures you can burst D.Kali hard enough, Akechi is better than a third Pandora because of the orb enhance and different source colors makes it that much harder to get orb screwed, and Zuoh boards can be fixed by either Akechi or Pandora while Haku requires Akechi.

Look for the rare monster guerrilla dungeons too for trying to get that Phoenix. I think my AShiva team is the team I use second most and is great for somewhat mindless farming (at least compared to catte team which is my main team)

You should be able to keep going quite a ways with your DQXQ if you evolve your Ariel, triple TPA on top of a 16x multiplier will deal a ton of damage. You won't even need to roll the PEM for a rare mat to get her there. If you can get a LValk to replace the Mech that'll cover your green much better, and you probably want something else to replace your Vampire but I'm blanking on what a good farmable dark option is. The Shynee should also be on the chopping block because its stats are garbage, but that 3x spike is probably worth keeping it around for a while longer until you get Ariel up and running even if it only really helps your leads.

Otherwise, you have the makings of an Urd team in Urd/Tyrannos/Valen/Uriel/Echidna. Not a perfect set of subs but you should have plenty of HP thanks the to blue subcolors, a couple TPA subs for damage, and a delay to stall for orbs if necessary.
