    I need a better team for farming Hera than Byakko. I can 0 stone it but it's not easy.

    I should try my Byakko team as well, just to see, but so far Valk has been very smooth sailing. Only dicey parts are Minerva (but have Echidna) and Neptune if I fail in making a 4x3 Light combo...which seems to happen regularly, haha.

    Soon you get to see a bunch of rants about how Hera-Is and Hades refuse to skill up at all. Also...I'm still debating on which one to start trying to skill up...bah!!!

    Forgot Hera was today.

    I was just excited that the mystic dark dragon was here so I could get it and unload all my fire guys that I got failing to skill up Uriel into him.

    was 3/16 for skillups on the dragon and now how I have much more room in my box.

    Also, I beat endless corridors in a resolve grind team. It took forever on Zeus with only neptune's 8k/round poison and 3 of the 5 turn devil nukes. It was that frustrating bit where I had to match one to not die, but no matter how many more I matched other than that one, it just didn't really matter.

    It requires a signal in order to play. And I work in the basement of a bomb-proof building. :P

    So, i have this alt account that basically collects free stones and does 1 or 2 rolls on godfests. Been playing a bit with it and managed to get something like 30 stones that i used on the BatREM in separate times. (Was trying to get a DD Batman)

    1st time, i rolled a D/W Batman :o and a Catwoman
    Then i pulled again some days later ... Catwoman :|
    Then another pull in the next day ... Catwoman :|

    Said fuck it, two more rolls ... D/L Batman & D/D Batman :o:o:o:o

    So, I maxed my Byakko team as far as EXP goes:

    wqq3uu.png

    New goals:

    Byakko - Add 227 + eggs to be my first +297 monster, 1 more Tamadra for final awakening
    Echidna - Max Awoken (have 2 second-form Echidnas to lvl and evolve)
    Hades - max skill (currently slvl 1)
    Hera-Is - max skill (currently slvl 1) - eventually max awoken (have 1 extra so far to lvl/evo)
    Yomi - One more Tamadra and one more slvl to max (come back, ECO!)

    I'm in it for the long haul...

    Have you considered a Dark Zeus for that Hades spot?

    He has low RCV but massive HP and ATK.

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    Do you guys save your gems after a certain point?

    I'm always on the edge on whether or not I want to buy them from the store. I always get 4 then use one to continue a fight... Then use another... And then I'm back down to 0.

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    edited December 2013
    I haven't really, gj. Precisely BC of the low RCV...I really need the RCV for stalling with this team. However, if I was ever able to max skill both the gravity users, I might be able to get by with less RCV. Not to mention as more RCV plus eggs are added to Byakko. Still, Hades was my first lvl 99 and I really love his art :D so I'm not sure if I'd replace him. It's something to consider down the road, for sure.

    I pretty much use gems only for increasing my box capacity and friend list.
    Continuing a fight is only good if you got something incredibly rare, otherwise better to die and stamina refresh and run that level multiple times. I guess it matters more the more stamina you have.
    I may use them for stamina refreshes at some point, and I may use them to roll on the community choice godfest. I bought $50 or so at one point and regretted it ever since.

    You won't get any disagreement from me on Hades being awesome.

    I have so much random stuff from IAP, that my experience gets spread all over the place. I only recently maxed out my second monster (Lucifer). My Hera-Ur team team is my most leveled team, with the lowest (not counting King Baddie) being at level 78.

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    edited December 2013
    Yeah, that's why I'm no longer rolling on the REM (until Blue Sonia is added), so I can use stones on stamina refreshes and for stoning Supers. I really don't need anything from the REM and don't want to spread myself any thinner than I already am.

    Yeah! Fed 5 Heras and got one skill up for Hera-Is. This is going to be extremely excruciating and costly...

    What do ya'll think...max skill one gravity user or try to level them up evenly? Haha, never mind, one at a time. Doing it together would be mind-numbingly terribly. I hope to get like...3 skill ups every time Hera comes back, so to max skill both I should do it after...10 Hera days!!!! :-/

    Just got my 300 day bonus so I'm sitting at 26 or so stones. My question is should I roll on the community choice Godfest? I think I'm in a similar situation to some of you where I think perhaps I have enough stuff to level and make teams of right now, but dang I want a Byakko and Kirin or GrOdin, etc. I already have a Good Lucifer team as well as Valk, Cu-Chu, Siegfried, Hera-Ur I can put together. Probably enough stuff...I dunno what do you guys think, is it worth it to roll?

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    I'd say you should roll if you don't have a good spike leader (aka higher than 9x). But that's just me. I could theoretically keep rolling for Kirin and all kinds of things, but I really think I have enough on my plate right now.

    Also, I just learned the importance of setting up your combos on Neptune with Valk in Hera. I can't always get the 4x3 light orb combo needed and that cost me 40 stamina...ah well, you live and learn! I'm glad today is super slow at work, haha.

    I think the easiest way to farm hera is double odins with a auto heal awoken skill or to, once you get past the Devils you only need to make a match

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    Okay that reminds me... I'm not getting any consecutive log-in bonuses any more. Should I skip a day and start from day 1 again?

    Are you guys pulling on the upcoming godfest and what are you hoping for?

    I have 20 stones so will probably pull 4 times. Hoping for Yomi, Bastet, Hades or one of the godfest-only gods. I wouldn't mind an AA Lucifer but tbh, he seems pretty boring to play.

    steam_sig.png
  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    Ohhh okay. I just noticed it said that the maximum consecutive bonus has been reached so I wasn't sure if that meant all I'll ever keep getting is 100 PAL points and 500 Coins.

    Easiest, but not fastest. Who wants to farm Hera like that? I can farm with Valk in less than 10 minutes. 2/8 so far!

    Is it just me or does this Mystic Dark Dragon look kinda cool skill-wise?

  • mtsmts Dr. Robot King Registered User regular
    yes, it is the best one

    master is fairly easy. been running it with a resist/combo leader fairly straightforward. though no drops yet

    Definitely pulling on my luci account. Still not sure if I should pull on my horus/kirin one, since odds are good I'll just get a dupe. Though I really do need an orochi or neptune on it

    It's cool, though it does have 0 RCV which isn't exactly like running Odin and healing back up to full every turn.

    Ha, I didn't notice the RCV, no wonder. I guess I still am wishing for an Odin .

    Finally worked up the courage to remove the Carbuncle from my team in favor of more attack damage. I figure I was getting around 3100HP each battle and that 500HP isn't normally enough to keep myself from dying but adding more damage could prevent me from taking more hits.

    Ok, I've only ran it twice on Legendary, but I'm already mad at those stupid Werewolves in Mystic Dark Dragon.

    Couldn't they at least drop evolved so that they can skill each other up? Right now, all they're good for is the 6k experience. That isn't terrible, but I'm running the dungeon for the Wicked Ladies!

  • AtaxrxesAtaxrxes Hellnation Cursed EarthRegistered User regular
    So I am assuming that running some type of poison might be good in there? Would any sort of armor break even make Lucifer viable against that dragon?

  • AegisAegis Fear My Dance Overshot Toronto, Landed in OttawaRegistered User regular
    You'd need at least 51% since bringing it down to 300k still makes Lucifer do 1 damage.

    He has a preemptive shield, which should protect him against Armor Break.

    The best way to kill him is with a UFO. Bane and Ra work too, but you have to deal with the lack of Light orbs. And even though it doesn't work against the boss, Poison is still spectacular against the werewolves.

    My team is Hades, Persephone, UFO, Lilith, Siren. And then my friend is either a D/D Batman, Loki, Ares, or ultimate Vampire Lord.

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    Yeah, I'm going in with a similar team as gjaustin, once Hera is over, and probably going to use Bane since my UFO is so low. Though, I guess so is Bane, so we'll see.

    A dark attack that did 10k would do 1.6k, I believe.

    Yes, the first one reduces by 60% leaving 40%. The second one removes 60% of 40% leaving 16%.

    I'm just trying to figure out how much hp I would need to run a team of D/D Hades leads then probably Lillith, Siren, Lucifer (for stats), Awoken Hera. That gives me 8253hp before I factor in friend Hades (of which I don't even know who has one) RCV is 2273, Lillith is awoken once for auto-heal, Hera is awoken once for further dark dmg reduction. Does that look like a team that could do master? I guess it would all come down the the friend Hades HP...
