If you don't have a Sumire, she's still a good blue lead. Just stack rows and double orb changers like Andromeda and Gabriel and go hog wild, and with her RCV bonus you can heal from near dead to full with 4 or 5 hearts and some good comboing.

Well, it'll probably come down to playstyle preference. Sumire works on an A.Lakshmi team and A.Lakshmi can sorta work on a Sumire team as a heart maker and HP stat stick.

Basically, A.Lakshmi isn't irrelevant (in my eyes) but she's been consistently overshadowed by other blue leads who are maybe a notch or two above her.

yeah, Sumire and Lakshimi are both 7.5x damage on max activation

Sumire gets to enjoy 75% damage reduction when you make the heart cross and has more of her damage boost on the 5orb connection

Lakshimi can just match a mass of hearts indiscriminately, and can take advantage of row-based subs; of which many of them have large amounts of hp, which she supplements with her RCV boost

so I guess it is up to whatever you want to run

I'm viable ladies.

Blew all my stones + a 30 pack on today because I wanted Steel gods, Ilm, and Skuld. I got:

Australis (first steel god, huzzah!)
Sherias Roots :woop:
buncha dupes of useless things I fed for plusses
Saria
Hamal (not a gfe but still happy, the mechanical star gods are awesome)

Super pleased with everything especially Sherias Roots. Aside from being a kickass leader Sher. Roots is the best L/D option I have for my Sephiroth team.

Sephiroth(orb refresh via collab silver inherited)/Ichigo/D. Kali/Sherias Roots/A. Isis(lightning inherited) is hilarious for just pushing boards out to murder everything with. Shame no one really runs him has a Sephiroth to run with.

To be honest, Blodin is kind of not that great. I would (if I were you) run Blonia/Amon/Mori/Ando/Awoken SQ/Blonia

Huh, alright. Thanks for the tips. I suppose I could work on Awoken SQ, but it hurts so much to change the skill on something you've max skilled. :(

Would you like me to stick a blue thing in my BFF slot? Best I can do is Toshiro. He's not Dragon or Physical but he goes up x5 when matching a big old blob of blue.

I've got Thor there right now and I think Ashsaber is probably the only one who uses him.

Nah, it's okay. I only plan on using her for things that dark teams don't work well for, so having a permanent slot open for that seems silly. I put Blonia up in the BFF slot for me because Ame no Uzume is not that great and I don't think anybody used her.

Thanks though!

I WON A CONTEST IN TG AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CUSTOM TITLE
It turns out that it's easier to solo Kaguya-Hime than do it coop. Getting skills up in half the time (because you aren't alternating turns with a partner) is a pretty big deal, especially for guaranteeing you can take out the Yomi Tamadra before it hits you. I used DMeta who is basically the ideal Kaguya-HIme lead, with Academy Sleeping Beauty to zap Yomi (I was going to use her for clearing the 75% bind on Kaguya too but I forgot she's Devil typed).

A system team like Kaede/Sumire/Tsubaki might work pretty well too, since floor 2 has long turn timers if you can take a hit and/or measure your damage so he uses his 3x ATK buff. e: Don't forget you'll need to bring an enhancer for some of those.

I used lmeta x a.ama. lmeta just for some extra health, but dual a.ama should work. Brought sun quan to make sure I didn't trigger any killshots.

I thought miru would be good too, because hey, free time extends. Enter dungeon, no skills, can't do any damage without hearts, rip.

I think people use a.meimei too, similar to Haku for wadatsumi, but no one on my list had her up for me to try it.

What's the best way to farm jewels? I've been assuming it's "spam whatever's descending in coop during events" because the Pal Egg rates are super low for them, but is it superior to run Scarlet instead and spend the MP you make on them?

What's the invade rate? 10%? In 10 runs you would be expected to get one jewel vs 5000mp. If it's 5% then they would be closer to even.

I mean, it's not mandatory, but it makes the game much easier in general. Also getting free mp for just running dungeons is the poo poo. Just do multiplayer when you have more time to dedicate to playing the game like after work or something. Or don't, whatever.

I literally have no interest in participating in coop, other than not being able to farm things as fast and not doing the coop exclusive dungeons, I haven't missed much.

Shroots is extremely good. Along with having board changes built-in, you have DKali and Ragnarok Dragon as potential subs. Others: Orochi for delay, Sakuya for bind clear, Susano or Indra for damage shield, Kanna or Baldin for damage boost

It's not mandatory at all. I still solo most things because I don't want to leave a game while I'm at work or I just don't want to bother to find a partner. It is really handy to have half stamina cost and shared awakenings though

There's also an option on multiplayer for finding friend's rooms. Sometimes you can click on that and hop into a co-op dungeon one of your friends has set up. It's pretty useful for running Tamadras or Super Kings or other guerrilla dungeons. You can join those even at times they aren't available to you. And you look while pooping.

Co-Op Pros:

Half Stamina Dungeons
Stamina x 2 PAL Points Earned
Stamina = Monster Points Earned
Ability to enter guerilla dungeons that aren't in your timeslot as long as the other person hosts
Easier to create button/system teams
Shared awakenings: Skill Boost, Skill Bind Res, Hazard Res (Jammer/Poison), HP Latents
Can get carried easily in early/late game with the right setup

Co-Op Cons:

Pairing with someone who can't combo
Pairing with someone who wants to waste someone's stamina just to be a douche

Random co-oping is slow unless if there's a dungeon available that everyone wants to run such as SKC.

For more organized Co-oping either:

1. Goon PAD IRC. Details in first post.
2. Reddit Discord. Actually quite good and very popular.
