Puzzle & Dragons |OT2| Don't Ask, Just Reroll

Gonna post OT3 sometime after I get home from work, anybody have any comprehensive beginner's strategy guides they like? Already have the 4chan and padherder ones in there.
 
lame stream; the godfest rolls were the only fun part

Gungho must know that the bulk of the people who are tuning in aren't beginners, right?

This is the first appearance of the Indian 2.0 gods. I got a Vishnu so I'm making a team of wood 2-prong monsters.

I'm actually pretty excited for Durga, had no clue she existed and is the first mob i've gotten that might actually be able to replace Horus. Pretty sad that I haven't had a leader roll to replace my primarily leader in a year and a half.

Horus is also my only 5x leader but I also have DTron and multiple Ronias. Horus is great except for his active skill which is pretty useless except on a mono red team. They need to buff his active with a mini gravity or something else.

He's still pretty good, but he's outclassed in a lot of ways. :( Kirin and U&Y have better actives, DQXQ has a better active and can focus on light damage, and Ra has a better multiplier so the diluted damage of a rainbow team isn't that weak. That's why I voted for Horus in the JP poll for the next ultimate evolutions. He needs a new active or a sub-type and some better stats.

I was feeling lucky and decided to throw one more roll in the REM, Zhuge Lang!!! My first ever God fest only mob. How good is he? I don't usually like the HP restricted leaders.

Today was a very good PAD day.

Zhuge is amazing. Rated in the same tier as Ronia and Kirin as far as ability to clear end game content goes. Key subs are marine rider and Sasuke.

Depends what wood subs you have. Best farmable monsters are orb changers (Ancient Dragon Knight & Cu Chu) and ult Athena. Ideal REM subs are things like Kushinada, Sasuke, Marine or Dino Rider, Green Sonia, Genbu, Artemis, AA Michael, and Thumbelina.

He is less restrictive than DTron, he boosts all wood monsters not just attackers. Definitely top tier, but he has the same problem as DTron, preemptive heals take away your multiplier.

I've been trying to wrap my head around Zhuge Lang,

if you have a couple of marine riders and a sasuke and match 1 group of 4 green orbs you do

(seven dual prong without taking into account leader skill)

(1.5)7 damage or 1.5^7?

(1.5)7 = 10.5

1.5^7 = 17 (ish)


from what I can tell, row enhances are additive and prong attacks are multiplicative?

TPA only affects the card it's on. It doesn't add up together like row enhances. I think for a single 4-orb match with 2x TPA, you get something like 1.25 (4 orbs) x 2.25 (TPA) = 2.8125 damage. Zhuge Liang does insane damage when you combine that with his 16x multiplier and his very high base ATK. Cards with TPA benefit from +ATK eggs more than others because of this.

Yeah. He isn't invincible but I have seen videos of him clearing tons and tons of content. Preemptive heals can possibly be prepared for with the right subs.

ah, ok - so its not cumulative.

some posts on other forums had me thinking it was, although I guess the implication is that multiple cards with 2 prong attacks make sense if you are trying to match 4 orbs.

(for example both ZL + Marine rider benefit from their own 2 prong awakenings)


interesting team, although I still have my main three to work on.
 
Took my U&Y team into Athena on a whim. I didn't have the hearts on floor 2 after his gravity attack and I died and decided not to stone. I don't have any need for Athena right now anyway. I need to focus on my U&Y and Lu Bu teams.

Speaking of improving my Lu Bu team, I'm looking forward to picking up Hera-Ur tomorrow. I hope my U&Y team can handle it (ie I hope the RNG favors me).

For my Jpn account rolls:

U&Y (Yay!!!! My Kirin is on US account and I've been over-dependent on Kushinada..),
Kagutsuchi (Yay?),
Shining Dragon Swordsman (??),
Fire Magician, Raira (Lyla?) (??)

I now have the Shining Dragon and Fire Dragon Swordsman, the stats seem kind of weak to me...

The Raira one has ability that turns one row into all red...hmm...

I got Wizas, Chester, Ray Sirius, Perseus and a lot of stuff I already had. These new gotcha monsters are kind of cool!
 
Made Byakko my 7th +297 today and finally did this:
Nice. DW Bats is a beast. Too bad more people don't run him. Was the dungeon easy or difficult for that team? I still need a couple skill-ups for my Sakuya but I haven't run the dungeon in a while due to running other things. I'd been farming it with a Sakuya team but wondering if there's a better/easier option. Though I haven't given it much thought myself yet.

I had a lot of options for my seventh +297 monster and I finally decided on attacker Luci. My Ronia team lost a lot of HP when I evo'd him. He's only at +134 but most of that is +HP so that helps.

Edit: Guess I'll carry this over to OT3. =p

So I guess we'll be receiving three free Magic Stones [thanks to the completion of the challenges during the Live Stream].

Oh, also a week-long Player's Choice Carnival announced.

*Player’s Choice Carnival*
[Polls Open]: 10/3 (Fri), 12:30 PM - 10/5 (Sun), 11:59 PM (PDT)

As a part of our 5 Million Downloads celebration, we’re announcing a new Player’s Choice Carnival! Vote for your favorite God for a chance for them to be featured at the Rare Egg Machine. The player favorites will be included along with specially selected monsters at 3x Rates for a whole week!

To vote, simply click the link below, and then click the Vote box for your desired God. Votes will be shown in real-time, and the top 5 Gods will be placed into the Carnival!

The lineup will be announced in the days following polls closing, so stay tuned!

VOTE HERE: https://a.pgtb.me/nfhXXS


No Godfest exclusives will be included, though, so it's an easy pass for me. I still really need a Blue Sonia, as well as my first Red Sonia [and Red Odin], so I'll save my Magic Stones for times when I can actually obtain them.
