    7 pulls

    Gigas, echidna +, dryad, phoenix knight, fairlion, mystic dark knight, and the last thing I got was a Lucifer.

    The gigas means that finally my goemon team can come together now that I have something red to eat all the hearts and isn't a goblin.

    And Luci means I'll be able to snooze through some of those descends that were giving me trouble before.

    Also, do people keep a second GrOdin usually? Seems like a decent stat stick, but eeeeh... Probably gonna focus on Byakko team anyways.

    Did a few pulls this morning and best ones I ended up with were Neptune, Kirin, Hades, AA Lucifer, and DA Metatron. All I really wanted was Neptune for my blue team, but I am really happy with my luck overall. That was out of ten pulls.

    Just got my 300 day bonus, so I said what the hell and pulled:

    Dryad
    Mystic Flame Knight
    Mystic Flame Knight
    Mystic Flame Knight
    Bitter Disappointment


    At least I got one skill-up from the MFKs on my Phoenix Knight.
    Wait, no. That doesn't make this better at all.

    @Xereph, you should be over the moon. Those pulls are fantastic. You essentially have 3 of the best leaders in the game (DMeta, Kirin, AA Luci) and 2 great subs/situational resist leads (Hades & Neptune). I don't think you could really ask for more. Sure, DMeta requires a lot of great subs like Hanzo and Gryps Rider, but still. Enjoy your good fortune and get to leveling!

    Some good pulls here in PA mixed in with some bad ones.

    I just added 5 more friend slots and will add any PA members. I primarily run Byakko, Valk, Hera-Ur, Blue Odin, and Siegfried, so please add me if you can benefit from any of those: 376,540,262

    Any twinlet success stories yet?

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    I'm not even venturing in...my Zeus is still unevo'd and Hera is a low priority. I'd really be most interested in the Tamadras but that doesn't seem worth it at all, since the first floor is so random.

    Seems like a team of Zeus/Echidna/Echidna/Verche/Valk/Zeus is what most people are running, though.

    Clearing first floor is pretty easy, that's the problem. 2 turns to do 20 damage over 600k armor before eating 33k damage is hard. No point continuning since the next doublet has full health and counter one.

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    The trick is doing exactly enough damage to leave 1-2 mythlits on the first floor so you can stall for skills. It's easy to overkill and easy to underkill...that sweet spot is tough. At least, that's what I gather from the reports I've read.

    After getting absolutely Gungtrolled in the last two godfests, I was wary about spending my free stones on this one. But hey, Players Choice right? Odds are perhaps slightly better.

    2 Pulls. Yomi and Naga. Got a skill-up on feeding the Naga to my Echidna.

    This just makes my One True Color team even stronger. Seriously, if I only had Byakko I'd never run anything besides dark team ever again.

    So I rolled 4 times on my phone, crap, crap, crap, and Horus. Is he still any good or what? Rolled 3 times on my tablet, crap, echidna (no skillup) and Venus. I have one roll left on each account. Do I stop there and be happy or do I roll again?

  • abotkinabotkin Registered User regular
    So I actually played PAD some the last few days in an attempt to let the game redeem itself for me. On my 12th run of the Pierdra dungeon, one finally dropped and actually gave me the final skillup I was pissed off about last time.

    Then today I just did 9 pulls on the godfest using the stones I'd been saving for a while, it went: Cupid, Sea Serpent, Vampire, Venus, Mochizuki Chiyome, GrOdin, Toyceratops, Venus, Mochizuki Chiyome. Even with a more than 50% return on gold eggs, that was a bit frustrating since I specifically was hoping for a spike leader of some sort, ideally a Byakko; Luci gets boring to play and is, I believe, one of the bigger reasons in my burning out on the game.

    Notable pulls were Odin, Viper Orochi, and Underlord Hades. Having recently used a bootleg Odin to obtain low rcv Hades, I'm conflicted, though I can't really complain.

  • AtaxrxesAtaxrxes Hellnation Cursed EarthRegistered User regular
    Do you not have a Valkyrie or anything yet? With Lucifer you should be able to get Cu-Chu/Siegfried/Valk/Hera-Ur/Goemon, unless you are talking about something better than a 9x spike team?

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    Sweet, got another Tamadra from Metal Dragons and was able to do this:

    2j0yvk2.png

    If only I got that final skillup when ECO was around! Bah!!! Ah well, my Byakko team is super happy now :)

    And I'm sure he's talking about at least a Chinese-level spike...because 9x is fine for farming but can't really handle Descends.

    Yeah, the only one of those I haven't bothered grabbing yet is Goemon. I was really hoping for something better than a 9x team though, particularly if it involves using non-dark subs since I haven't leveled much that won't work on my Luci team and I'd want it to be worth the effort of leveling up new subs.

    I have a couple of spots open.

    300, 344, 245

    For daily stuff, I normally run Freyr red, or a Rider led devil/attacker team.

    Also, on request, I have a Shiva, Heaven Neptune, Choo choo, sieg, Goemon, and up and coming lucifer.

    Turns out Solomon Gundy was really fucking useful to get at the start of the Batman Collab. Was finally able to put together a resolve team that can clear Rainbow Keeper in an amount of time that is not glacial, given that it dies in 3 Lucifer activations (thanks Luci).

    After a bit of a hiatus thanks to reaching the point where I'm not strong/skilled enough to take on high level descends but the only way to improve further is to either get completely new teams or grind hundreds of plus eggs, I have returned in time to tack the Twinlits!

    I'm going to be trying a low level non-IAP team I saw on the PAD forums:

    Awoken Zeus (leader)
    EoS Echidna
    Awoken Hera
    Awoken Hera-Is
    Top DroidDragon
    Awoken Zeus (friend)

    Theoretically, I should be able to 0 stone the dungeon if I can just stall long enough on floor 1. I expect I'm going to end up spending quite a while analyzing the initial orbs to figure out exactly what to match to leave only one or two mythlits alive.

    My bigger worry is just having enough Zeus friends. There was only one on my list when I left for work today, though hopefully more will have shown up by the time I get home. Anyone else who's planning to run Zeus for Twinlits tonight or tomorrow, please don't hesitate to friend me!

  • SmoogySmoogy Registered User regular
    Just remember, Droidragon's skill will not carry over from floor 2-3 because of the pre-emptive attacks the dub-mythlits do, if you were hoping for that to happen.

    So after my 34 Piedra runs results in 1 drop and no skill ups, I roll once and get a cupid. Well at least I can evolve it for an awakening.

    With tomorrows daily stone I can roll again.

    Gravities, stats, no type requirement, allowing for greater sub availability. Plus, not hard to meet his conditional by stalling on the Tamadra in floor 3.

    Man, the Twinlit dungeon is really hard. I went in with a Zeus-Zeus team and had a hard time but at least came away with another mythlit, Dub, and the light Twin.

    Did drop for a bunch of pulls after passing on the last couple of godfests. Here's damage for those that want to feel better:

    Light knight
    Shaitan
    Undine x2
    Mermaid
    Stone knight
    Toytops
    Cupid
    Uriel
    Shiva

    That's not a great run. I am happy about finally having a Shiva that I can swap with my Droid Dragon but I was really hoping for a Horus or Neptune. In other news, I did ultimate evolve an Orochi for a good addition to my water team.

    Starting pull was Venus, didn't really know much about the game at that point so I just kept going. Thanks to high level pa friends managed to get past castle of Satan with the d/d batman as a lead from my one batman pull. Saved all my stones and had 7 pulls, got:
    Shiva
    Giga
    Umisachi&Yamasachi
    Mermaid (yay no more farming trying to get one)
    Lucifer
    Flame golem
    Uriel
    Remembered I had $6 in Google play credit, so one more roll:
    Horus

    I think I've started down the dark IAP path :p So glad I didn't reroll.

    It'd be nice if it did, but it's not necessary. Echidna will give me 8 turns to do 50 damage to the Dubs. The lack of a secondary color on 4/6 of my monsters makes that a little tricky, but at worst I'll only have to spend one stone. Call it 1.5 stones each time (including the one stone per two runs for refresh) and 8 runs total to get at least 3 of each mat, and that's only 12 stones. Not a bad price for an ultimate evo Zeus and Hera.

  • TheBlackWindTheBlackWind Registered User regular
    Hah, looked to see what might go with Horus team. Bastet and Hades, both in the Godfest pool!

    Must resist rolling more though :( why didn't I just ask for iTunes cards for Christmas?

    Christ. I don't know what dungeon or whatever I was doing but the boss was just a simple green type. I used all of my skills in the first turn and it took off like 3% health, and all of my attacks were doing < 100 regardless of type. Really pisses me off because I used a gem earlier in the dungeon because I got two +1 monsters.

    Was that a bug? I swear I've done that dungeon before.
