You have to pay way too much attention when doing trivial content vs the quick mindless matching of any Mono-Color or Type team/lazy combo gods like Isis and DQXQ. You don't like Bastet? I think she's pretty fun to play. Granted, she's not a super-fast grinding leader like Athena or Ronia, but 4 combos isn't all that difficult to pull off.

I'd say they're different play styles and each has it ups and downs. For grinding mono-color or type leader like Athena and Ronia are indeed most mindless and easy to use. Color combo gods like Isis and match combo gods like Bastet plays differently and I can't really say one is better than the other. At the end of the day you need to make more matches in high tier content anyways even when using Athena so Bastet just trains you to do that. I know a lot of people start with Horus and can't get into Bastet but since I started with Bastet color-combo gods like Isis and DQXQ is just weird to me.

It's certainly not difficult, just requires a little more attention than Ronia/Athena/Shiva/Parvati/Isis/DQXQ/Valk/LMeta/Satan/Lu Bu or any of a dozen other leaders. When doing that awful rank grind for your first 150 stamina over again. Bastet makes the process a whole lot more tedious. She's a solid leader, I just found having to pay that much attention while running trivial stuff like Lava Tubes a huge put off. She strikes me as more of a good second REM pull where you can use her for Decendeds but don't have to do your daily grinding with her. Edit: That's certainly possible, all of my combo God usage tends to be with Isis or Kirin/now LKali. Never liked using Robin or Anubis.

opaopa13 posted:Resist Dragons: Nah. I still like the Resist Dragons, but the era where one of each was indispensable is over. With Isis AND Bastet in your pocket, you won't have to turtle through early dungeons using the Resist Dragons as leaders, and their active skills aren't good enough to make them worthwhile subs. I'd keep one of each as they tumble out of the PAL machine just because, but even that much is questionable. Thanks, About how difficult is the Dragon Guardian coin dungeon. Could my Isis team take on Expert or Master level? Dont want to waste 500K coins if I have no shot.

I have a fully evoed G/L Bastet, lvl 83, and I've never actually used her as a leader-but she's almost always in team slot 1 because of how many PAL points I seem to get when she's up. Isis is fantastic, but since you only have to match a minimum of three/four different colours for good damage you tend to get lazy in making higher combos.

Oh, and in other news, the Armored Knight Carnival has been officially announced - 3x rates for the Armored Knights, Wizards (including Chesters), and, er, the Dragon Swordsmen, starting tomorrow. Also, the drop rates for the healer girls in the REM are being permanently reduced, which I'm sure you're all heartbroken over.

I've never really had trouble making the switch when necessary, but I guess some people do? If I need to play Isis like she's Ra I can do that. If I'm just lazy mode rank grinding I can do that. I rarely want to pay as much attention to say farming KotG with Ronia as I do Decendeds with Kirin. For trivial content I want the easiest most mindless watch-TV-while-doing-it teams possible.

gwrtheyrn posted:If you get enough combos, the colors take care of themselves "Stricter" color combo gods (chinese, Ra, etc) will need to start matching and saving orbs so that you have a better chance of activation next board. With something like Bastet, I just need to make one on color match, then just match as I go and make the most out of boards without thinking (at least to me), I don't even need to worry about blockers or poison orbs because they count as combos. I'm learning to play Hathor right now and a lot of the times I still need to make sure I have enough color matches, and need make sure I don't break them when I see another match as I'm swiping the screen.

jerkstore77 posted:Thanks, You know your average damage output better than me, but I _think_ you can handle Expert, which drops/stamina-wise is just about as good as Master. The big challenge will be the boss, three Dragon Knights with 136k HP each. You'll want to be able to definitely take down one, if not two, before their first attack. Stalling will be tricky, but if you can have Menace ready to go against them, I think it would be a sure thing. I'd go into Endless Corridors and try to get a feel for how much damage you can reliable put out, and how hard stalling would be against the Earth Knights of Expert. Looking at your teams, I see your Isis team is paired up with a friend's B/B Isis. See if you can't find B/L Isis friends instead, as her LS is purely superior, letting you match Hearts as well. She's also got 500 more HP, which might be what you need to get you over the Divine Mask 9999 threshold, allowing you to use them as easy stalling waves.

I want to beat satan. Can I do that with chibi kirin? My current team is Kirin/Echidna/Non-ult Parvati/Chrono Turtle/Yomi. Chrono turtle is only because I don't have the cost to fit in Blodin, and Yomi is because I don't know what else to put there.

I did at first-after spending forever using B/B Isis with a B/L Isis friend and not having to care about what orbs were matched, my beginning attempts at a Kirin team were pretty awful. But then I'm not that great at high combos anyway, 5 or maybe 6 is usual. Maybe I should start using Ra?

More complicated combo gods like Ra/Kirin/L Kali/etc definitely take some practice. I just can't wrap my head around making all the trivial grinding a chore to force yourself to practice it. If I really want to practice my Kirin skills I'll do so in Endless when I have spare time. If I want to burn off the rest of my stamina in KotG it's something mindless like Ronia all the way.

My solution to this was just to take Kirin into all the late game descendeds and putting the Evoker against my head. Combo or die

Red dungeons resist your green team, a red team would at least be neutral to it. Ares has a pretty easy to get Ult Evo. Ares is also an Attacker so he could go on an eventual Attacker Horus team. Edit: Oh yeah, Ares will play a lot like GZL. Just match a lot of Red orbs instead of Green. He's not going to hit as hard but the trade off is you get more HP and you don't have to keep your HP below 80%. Eventually you could run R/L Horus/GZL/R/L Leilan/Ares/something you'll eventually pull to cover blue. That would take a bunch of XP, team cost and 3 Angelits though.

I bit the bullet and bought the coin dengeon. First time I teamed up with an Alraune friend for the heals, second time I steamrolled with a Grodin friend.
