I'm super salty over Ra Dragon (Radra?).

This game is fun when there's a wide variety of competitive leaders, and you can get creative teams going. Juggler killed all of that, and now that the meta has recovered to the point where there's like a half-dozen top leaders they just hosed everything up again.

Basically every leader in the game is being rendered into MP food for Radra or mayyybe Shiva dragon. If you just 297'd ABastet, AShiva, or ARa enjoy it while it lasts because the writing is on the wall, in a few months they're going to be joining Athena and Ronia on the washed-up leaders bench. Not only is Lkali no longer a top tier leader, she's soon not even going to be a top tier sub.

Powercreep was already at its breaking point, and gunho just stomped on the accelerator. PAD island is already too difficult for a lot of players in NA/EU, since we're getting those collab/special rems like 2 weeks after JP, while we're months behind on content updates. What do you think is going to happen when the JP whales are trashing everything with 6 hypermax Radra teams with ideal subs? Gungho is going to scale difficulty to follow, good luck keeping up. Gungho is playing with exponential math, and its going to get really crazy real quick.

Even if you can afford the MP for Radra you should be afraid, chances are good he's going to be replaced by an exponentially better leader in 6 months.

Yeah man we should def lose sleep over it

McDragon posted:

So I snagged a Ra yesterday. Is he much harder to activate than LKali?

I mean, it takes another color for the minimum number of matches to activate, so yes, Ra is harder than Kali. If you are at least semi-competent in your orb matching it isn't too bad, just takes a little more planning to activate.

The hardest part with Ra is getting orb trolled, but there are ways to prevent that (orb planning, board changers, praying as hard as you can for skyfalls, etc.)

tfw you calculate your stam and decide to run a coin dungeon that padx says gives at minimum 14000 exp, with 13500 exp needed to level, and the dungeon instead gives you 13200 exp... :shrek:

Also def going to run the FF collab a bunch with that nice exp ratio and a higher (or non-zero) chance for +'s. The dungeon looks pretty straight forward, no big gimmicks from what I can tell.

trucutru posted:

A.Shiva is probably your best chance. But, to be honest. If you cannot do six combos under pressure then you have no business trying to run that poo poo, it is supposed to be *hard*.

In any case, you can either go balls-to-the-wall offensive with A.Shiva, and die half of the time to DQ Hera, or put D.Iza or Phoenix Rider in there to take the hit. In general the idea is:

1) Whatever
2) Spend a skill if required, these dudes have plenty of HP and you're low-level.
3) You should be able to do a small combo first to get her close to 50% and then kill, don't trigger the green orbs buff.
4) If you're using a defensive team then use your defense up so that you're able to take the Kraken hit in turn 2 and still be ready for DQ Hera. With an offensive team you have to kill it in 2 turns and then pray. You can bring a green mon (Set, etc) to bait the bind, if you wish.
5) If you get Hera-Ur then you have already won. Just kill her as fast as possible, shouldn't be a problem with the extra red orbs. If you get DQ Hera then heal and hit her once for less than 50%, but try to leave light orbs on-screen, she'll turn them into jammers, which is helpful. Then you kill her.
6) Hit Scarlet a bit so that she's not at 100%. She'll turn all jammers into fire orbs so as soon as her shield is down destroy her.
7) Use all your skills and 1-shot.

I can't remember but the last time I beat scarlet before it came to NA as a multiplayer, I used your strat (which you've posted before) and I must've taken her 2nd form to >50 on first turn and then killed after that...because I just tried to 1 shot her with an 8 combo with 2 double prongs and it didn't KO her :wth: . Team was hyper shiva, hyper kagu, hyper urd, Cao cao, phx rider. Is a 9er required to one shot? If so Gg me.

This is a great resource - https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleAndDragons/wiki/guides/leaders/awokensakuya

First thing that jumps out at me is your yomi. awoken her/him/it and enjoy the time-extends. Valk, fat chocobo, izanagi, even athena are fine. I'd say awoken yomi and fat choco are probably your best bets, and you can use valk until you get yomi fully awakened.

AH I missed you have Orochi. He is great for sakuya as well, as others noted. I also missed your padherder name is intronaut...love that band as well

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 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.

What's your Nepdra team looking like? I'm failin hard on z8 today...and my failures are due to orb trolls, but maybe I'm missing a piece on my team. I keep getting orb trolled on the first round and the third round, and am only having about 50% success... Last 2 runs ended on round 1 when my board had exactly 2 water and 2 dark orbs...

NepDra (max-skill, 2 skill-delay resists, but <50 +eggs)/Hermes/Gabriel/AKarin/AIsis

Everyone is max-skilled, max-awoken, Hermes is +297

If you get orb-trolled on R1, you either burn an active or you're hosed. Generally, though, 5 water orbs or a row of dark orbs will clear that. You just have to hoard water orbs and not use more than you need to kill a particular enemy. NepDra once you hit Z8. On his next form, I stall a turn to bait the bind, use Isis, and then use an active (almost always Hermes) to get 36X damage.

Yeah I needed more orb changers. I also said gently caress it yet again and bought 2x skill delay latents for my neptuna, and actually after teaming up with blonias, i've had 100% success with tuna/andro/karin/hatsume/i&i/blonia, only using i&i over isis bc i&i is maxed and has better awakenings. Having blonia as an extra orb changers really helps bc you dont really need 2x poisons, as opposed to mythical plus...

I'm a little confused about all this recent A Luci talk. With Pandora's new evo, isn't she strictly better assuming the same sub pool? I fail to see how the ability to use God type Pokemon trumps Pandora's damage control (f u Sopdet) and significantly higher multiplier, especially with Dark's excellent Devil sub pool. Is it just because everyone made an Awoken Haku and is too lazy to reverse back to devil Haku?

It's not recent at all, A.Luci being good has been a thing for a few months. It has a lot to do with his god-killer awakening.

I think those are all bad?! (RRH is getting a buff at some point though right?)

Guess I cant really complain considering how lucky Ive been in general with my GF rolls in such a short time playing. :shobon:

Which color metatron, dark or light? Dark is rarer/better but light isn't terrible and will prob (hopefully) get s buff at some point. Blonia is great. Red riding hood is great as a gadius or xm sub, she was buffed recently in jp. And nut is an amazing sub or inherit for blue teams that need 5 orbs eg yy, sumire, skuld

Zoness posted:

light metatron is an ok bind clearer if you don't have a better option but her lack of offensive awakenings and more importantly lack of skill bind resist (as opposed to awoken amaterasu) makes her kind of a mediocre sub.

I mean if you need a bind clear, she's still fine for that if you don't have access to amaterasu.


why would you inherit nut when her active is low cd and her awakenings are amazing

If you dont need/want dupes of her, she is a great inherit. For someone asking about her in general you're right inheriting prob isnt her best use though.
