Same as Lkali (1.2x) looooool

Except 6 combos is much easier than using a skill

Poor Kirin

Well I suppose they don't want to make the Godfest exclusive one weaker. A shame that Kirin is so similar to L.Kali, because they pulled no punches in making other Awoken monsters far superior to godfest exclusives.

Ah well. I'll still take it. 36x on a skill turn is at least sort of ok.

JP burned twice on voting for her, I'm sure they'll learn some day.

There is still hope because that's not her Awoken Ult.

Just the one everyone voted for.

You guys are missing out on her HP buff as well. With this Kirin uvo uvo, you get somethign close to 40+k HP. That's super tanky and helpful. The current dungeons don't need much more than 25x-36x burst anyways. I'm clearly biased since I have like 3 max skilled Kirin on NA and 2 on JP but I'm still fairly happy with this uvouvo.
 
That wasn't an HP buff, it was a consequence of running the co-op dungeon (both players combine HP totals).

I continue to maintain the correct buff for Kirin is to have Boisterous Dance enhance RGBL orbs.

Also Awoken Leilan is the future calling it now.

Investing in her ASAP. Already have the Jewels and Guan Yinping just need Zhang-Fei.

Oh thank fuck that isn't an Awoken. The sucky thing is that they made her (judging by art) a Light/Green card. I mean yeah she covers two colors know but real talk who doesn't use Valk on a Kirin team?

That would actually be fantastic. I would go out of my way to skill-up BD if they did that. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out a way they'd buff her without going super overboard, and I think that''s the best option available.

Oh shit right.

Feel like A. Haku is better

Don't kill my dream brah ;(

They said new ults for Eva are on their way, which means Misato will be getting one. I am praying it works well with Leilan similar to how Misato already does. In addition to that I have Yamato, Blazing Maiden Valk, and Kagutsuchi.

Gonna make this work somehow. A Rodin would make this team godlike.

What's so good about Leilan? Seems not that different from Haku, which I thought was just alright, better as a sub member I guess.

Her stats are godlike. And I have always been given more Fire oriented monsters from the REM, and Fire, Wood, Light seems like a really good resistance to have imo.

Idk I feel like with everything that is planned to come out she will end up one upping Haku, who still has Double Dongs but Rows still win out if used correctly. It's all theory because everything is up in the air.

I th ink giving that or the HP boost (1.2x) would be awesome.

Best part of this update is Awoken Isis stealing Medjedra's cat ears. Meow.

I've got three of her on both accounts. Give me a good shield and I'm running triplicats.

Awoken Leilan is purely superior to previous versions, but they really don't want her to have healer type, huh. Awoken Haku is busted...dark healers with TPA don't exist outside Dark Valk. Awoken Karin WHERE, I want triple blue rows now.

Kirin, uh, it's nice she's green sub. I mean, she isn't worse, but she isn't really much better? And no subtype?

Quad skill boost on Tengu might be useful. I like how he's caring some little girl now, heh.

And they're going to have to change Godfest lineups somehow. Like how do you even roll normal gods with all the exclusives crowding in there.

So because she got voted in they gave her a weak ult? Do they rush out the monsters that are voted in or something.


Also did they make d.Kali activation easier?

No, I don't think they are going to make Kirin better than LKali, especially without it being the actual Awoken Kirin. I have a feeling that A. Kirin is still in the pipeline for the future. Kali just got the stat boost and awakenings.

Just saw what they did to Kirin. That's dumb as hell. Ugh. Guess Gung-Ho really wants to push me to another team. Not sure what I can build that's viable.

So, PADX mentions something about a free Odin/Tron/Sonia for reaching 150. Is that real? Holy crap if so. Is it random or do you get to pick? I assume it'll be retroactive for those above 150 if so. Means I'll finally have a Ronia of my own after so damn long.

At this point I'd prefer a free gold Ninja, but I'll take it.

EDIT: So new Kirin isn't the real A. Kirin? Well thank god for that. Too bad she still doesn't have an ult really worth a damn.

It was moreso that Kirin won the vote right before a power sprint happened.

D.Kali still has the same everything, asides from awakenings

Those Pi dungeons sound super cool. Since they are no continue, I expect them to be regular hard and not stone eater hard, which is great.

Also, new board sizes for special dungeons? This event delivered. Some really cool shakeups coming down. I'll be excited when they finally come to the US in 3 years+.

But it was after the power sprint. Bastet, Lakshimi, Ra, etc have all came out.

Eh an occasional x36 isn't that bad, especially given that x25 is fairly decent. And a lot of her subs have access to a two prong. Green subtyping is pretty meh though since it is generally worthwhile to run Valk. But I guess it gives flexibility.

Given its no continue, though, I can't see them making them as stupid hard as some of the rushes and stuff. Those are purely designed to eat stones. Given how these can only eat stones via refreshes, there's no way they'd make them as hard.

A skilled up Apollo can cover Valks roll in many situations, but I honestly am not sure what I'd even slot in for the free slot. Awoken Hino for the 3 TPA? Some other yellow TPA?

Rushes aren't even hard.

My nigga just fused away a plus 208 max skilled Dkali to a fat chocobo

What is life

He just fused away a hypermax Lkali too

This is brutal watching him fuse these monsters. Apparently his position as a presenter/player on these shows is on the line. If he doesn't win the dungeon, he's out of the official streams.

I lack Apollo so I didnt consider that. In the free slot I'd put some utility sub.

I'm not sure exactly what Utility she needs, especially if you run L.Meta for Bind clears, but I'm sure JP PAD will figure it out long before she hits here.

Just saw random 150 god is going to be Random. I guarantee I get stuck with a 4th GrOdin, a 3rd L.Meta or GrOnia(The forgotten Sonia!) when/if it hits here.

That makes sense, I still believe they should have made her stronger (I know she's still usable for most descends) I like your HP boost idea. Who knows what the game will be like when her awoken ult gets announced. Kali is going to be better no matter what because of her AS.

Blue may have been a better subtype since most people use Valk or Apollo. Edit: most people use lmeta too so idk wth I'm talking about.

I lack L.meta too :(

I would probably use Wee Jas. Or my chibi L.meta.

I would say that L.Meta covers blue in many Kirin teams because of how important her bind clear is. Green is probably the color to free up that would open up options the most for those with ideal teams. Red would be OK too, but that'd make her too close to L. Kali.

What's up with Awoken Isis? What teams are we looking at with her? I'd find it hilarious if I had a team for her (my first god) that somehow surpasses my Kirin team.

I'm assuming all the awoken Chinese girls have the triple elemental resists in the LS? Who cares about dark healer theme teams - the vastly improved RCV and skill bind resist fixes the biggest issues with Byakko teams.

They're really pushing you to run monoisis with her Awoken form. The 1.5x ATK for activatinga skill only applies to Water monsters.

That's interesting. What interesting subs does water even have? I can think of U&Y, Seiryuu, Sun Quan, the Blue Norn and BlOdin. New Water starter Ult would be good as well. Don't think Seiryuu or U&Y would probably benefit the team much.

So with Dragon Knights and Samurai Dragons biweeklies going to tech dungeons, I guess they will be pulled from future coin dungeon rotations. Which leaves me about 8 hours to run all of them in the current JP coin rotation if I want the free stone since I've not done any yet. Don't know that I have enough time, even if I'd come out a few stones ahead by the end. Why couldn't they have announced this sooner, jeez. And I've still got skill ups to work on. Might just grab some Cleos and call it done.

But Byakko teams are dark row teams? And her low ATK isn't doing her any favors for TPAs at 12.25x damage. Even with the color resists, I'm not running that in the brave new world of 25x/36x teams with 30%(?) shields.

I assume there will be more dark subs with 2 prong incoming, considering Gungho is putting that on basically everything nowadays. Just right now, you have Dill, Persephone, DValk, Hades, Beelzebub, DW Bats for dark 2 prong with useful actives.

I'm not going to rush to change to the awoken ult though since the D/D version is still a far superior sub for my dark teams. And I don't want to lose my skillups. :x
