    I got the present from you, squid! I sent you mine! Hope you got something good :)

    I got a...brachys +1 and a pterra +1? Something like that anyway. Are those any good?

    Regarding +1s....if I fuse them to something else the something else gains the +1. However if I then evo that something else with the +1 do I lose the +1?

    Is a dryad a good healer? I got one from a PAL egg. Is it good enough to put up as my leader when I'm logged out to help other people?

    Usually I just leave my Bastet as the lead card. I am really liking her. Now that I'm pretty good at getting the combos, it's like a straight 2.5x boost to damage, it seems.

    From what I can tell, if even one combo hits the 2.5x boost, all your thingies do the 2.5x boost, including your hearts.

    Brachys +1 and Pterra +1 are both great once they reach their ultimate evolution.

    You keep +1s when you evolve.

    Evolve the Dryad to an Alraune and she's a great healer.

    Bastet is pretty awesome, though I'm not sure whether or not the hearts get the 2.5x boost.

    Keeper of Rainbow is a dumb butt. Thank god the game preserves dungeon sessions even when I lock my phone or even leave the app, cuz no way in hell am I doing that in one sitting. And his attack is 22k? What? I took an odin with me and I hardly see any other way to do it. That said though, he cant kill me so it is just a matter of time at this point, and I got a shadow keeper on floor 4 so I can finally evolve my lunar dragon.

    I did the mystic red dragon thing like, what, 50 times trying to get a knight and never did. I decided to do the mystic dark dragon dungeon for giggles, and of course a mystic dark knight drops. That makes three.

    So then I feed the two spares to the main one and no skill ups. Hate.

    What is this I don't even.

    Woo, finally put down a rainbow keeper. Did it with Viper Orochi on point, red, white, blue rippers, and Vritra with an Alraune helper. Having Grudge Strike on Vritra made that fight so much faster. Using it after the Orochi's resolve kicked in usually took about a sixth of his health. If anyone needs to use my VO, I'll try and keep him slotted in the rest of the day. I want to run a few more keepers just to have them in stock so I don't have to go into that dungeon again for a while.

    Are the knights any good?

    Right now I'm trying to run dungeons for evo components.

    I need the base 'lit so I'm running dungeon of wood, dungeon of fire, etc. (final level )

    I also need some dragon plants so I'm running the final level of tower of trials for those.

    I see them there lots, but they just don't drop for me! Instead I get my 30th goblin.

    The mystic knights change orbs to the color of the knight. Very useful if you are trying to go with a mono color team.

    My team for the rainbow keeper was Siren point, my slew of crappy ripper dragons plus Verche, and an Odin partner. With an Odin leader rainbow keeper only does 4.4k dmg which is pretty easy to heal in the 5 turns between his attacks, and Odins ability is nice against him. So really if you can field a good healer and an Odin as leaders, you can beat the rainbow keeper, but it takes forever :[

    I do something similar, except it's Siren combined with one of the Orochis. And I have a Hades, who makes killing the keeper much quicker, since he has Gravity (Deal 15% current enemy life as damage).

    Once I get him evolved, he'll do 30%!

    From what I've heard (and seen, trying it myself a few times) the dragon plants were almost entirely removed from Tower of Trials in the patch, so Giants is the only chance besides the Thursday dungeon.

    I have the Technical dungeons unlocked now! But I only have 2 green creatures that I would even consider powering up :(

    I'm also getting pretty handily defeated in the normal dungeons post-Castle of Satan, which is pretty frustrating. Gonna have to sit down and grind out some power-up material from the tech dungeons for a while...

    The first series of Tech dungeons are actually MUCH easier than the normal post-TOS dungeons. You just have to prepare for the Technical bosses, because they can do some terrible things to you (like bind all your monsters that they're weak against for a few turns). If you're hurting for a few good monsters, don't turn your nose up at the chimeras. They do a lot of damage for a relatively common and low cost monster.

    Yeah, that's what I've been seeing. I got 2 plants in a Trials run early, so I kind of got baited. Giants has definitely been better.

    That would explain why I'm mostly done with Fertile Lands' dungeons!

    I might consider keeping a Chimera, but I hardly need to use wood-element monsters. I have a couple of good monsters, I think (healer is Amaterasu, got Freyja for the Godfest, and I have an Undine) but otherwise nothing terribly special. I do have one of those rare dark dublit monsters that I use in my team for the HP (1000 for a cost of 1, yes please!). I'm just waiting to get to the other Tech dungeons so I can start really levelling my other creatures - I evolved a Water Demon for water element, and have a Vampire lord and evolved dark/water/green/red dragons.

    How should I be setting up my teams and how to I get good monsters to do so? I sort of hit a wall in the Tomb of the Saint, I can't beat the big dragon at the end, and even before that I had to get kinda lucky with a good helper to beat the other big dragons. I have trouble on knights and masks before then also. I've got my starting water dude all the way evolved and a green little girl(dryad maybe) that has a heal, but other than that I think my monsters suck... Should I just be grinding to level up my guys more? If so where is the best place to get money?

    I need soooo many dragon plants (6 of them).

    Had pretty good luck farming up all the element specific rubylits, etc, from the very first dungeons (dungeon of fire, dungeon of water).

    I usually see a couple dragon plants in the last level of tower of trials, but they steadfastly refuse to drop.

    It sounds like Giants is a better place to try? Final level best? Or first level?

    I have Dryad(with stars that flash behind it, dunno what that is), Fairlio(with stars and +2), Plesios, Black Fighter, and Red Ogre. The rest of my box is evo materials that I've been saving up, I dunno if there are good monsters I can get that I should be farming for, or just hoping for good pulls of the pal machine.

    I'd recommend waiting for tomorrow and doing the Thursday dungeon. They're available in there and you have the chance to get Flowers and Fruit too.

    That is a rough start. To be honest if you haven't spent any money or gotten too far, it might be better to delete the app and reinstall and hopefully get a better starting monster from the rare egg machine.

    @Vorpal The drop rate is similar in both towers, giants gives you flowers and some xp trials gives you seeds and nearly 0 xp. I typically run giants unless I'm trying to delay ranking up.

    Yeah, Giants has been many times better for me and plants. I've been doing the boss level since it's a little more efficient for stamina.

    Yeah, the boss level is best if you just want the plants, though the middle one, Dragons of the Tower, gives the best exp. On the weekends, when they're half stamina, you can usually just chain run the middle one for as long as you want because you'll keep leveling to refill the stam bar.

    This post has good info on what can come out of the rare egg machine. Starting with the second post. The first one is interesting reading as well. He is a little extreme when specifying what to start with but for example dryad evolves to mandrake which evolves to Alraune. Alraune is useful, the other two not so much. You can get any of the three out of the machine at the start. Getting the first form really sucks since you have a long road to go to make a subpar healer. You can always ask in this thread if a monster is good or not.

    There are several great monsters that you'll see in the wild, unfortunately, the drop rate for them is only good in the special dungeons.
    Titan, Mermaid, Naga, Succubus, Lil' Red/White/Black/Blue/Green Dragon can all drop in the early dungeons and are great when leveled.
