Man.... I'm hoarding my stones. I'm at 104 right now.
Should've rolled yesterday
Got Tristan and Coyote as consolation after 48 stones
I actually did roll yesterday.
Got Tristan on my first roll. Then I rolled a few more times, kept getting Rares, until I was down to 80 stones. At that point, I realized I shouldn't press my luck, so I stopped. Getting it on the first try should have been good enough.

I did great on the gacha the past few days. For the first time in my Dragon Poker career I have S-class monsters that I don't have room to maindeck. Wish I could have gotten Nana or Yomi from today's selection but I'm not complaining.
I was hoarding stones specifically to get Gambler (who's part of today's selection). JUST BLEW THROUGH 50 STONES... And just got Gambler.
Now wondering if I should blow the remaining stones... ( about 30 left)
Is there any other good reason to keep certain N-type monsters around, other than just evolving them to their highest state, just to get the stones?
And if I am getting rid of them, which would be better? Selling them, or using them for XP fodder?
I have come to a point where I'm actually starting to run out of room...

Nope, once you max evolve, feed them away.

New Gacha is up. Mammon is an SSS tier unit right away (3 hits, inflicts -1/-1 to enemy and rewards +1/+1 to you, not sure if this stacks or not), and is also cash as hell:
Kind of wish I saved some stones but I'm still good with susan. If there is one thing I am unhappy with, it's how shitty hand shuffling is, what with the whole giving me back the same 2-3 cards 80% of the time thing.
There's only 14 cards in your deck. On your first hand, you draw 4 random cards out of 14.
After that first hand, the chances of you drawing the cards you want narrows, because any cards you draw, are excluded from the next draw. So in other words, you are now drawing 4 out of 10 cards, not 4 out of 14.
You're getting the same cards all the time because there isn't that many cards to begin with.
The only way to make things go a little more in your favor is to use the special shuffle cards.

Yes, I know that but when I shuffle three and get back the same cards 80% of the time, the feeling isn't good. I didn't want that 2, 3, and 6 so I sure as hell don't want it back most of the time. It's more about the RNG being RN-amazing.
Making a new post to remind people about the New Player SS promotion and the One-Year Anniversary SS promotion that are both ending soon.

I'll do a breakdown to help you try and decide, but this isn't quite the braindead choice like it was for the SS starters.
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are all the best you can get for subcards in Bite, Slash, Stab, Wood, Smash, and Scratch respectively.
If you need a strong red attacker, pick up 3 (Coyote). If you need a strong green attacker, pick up 8 (Gorilla). Gorilla is a fair bit stronger than Coyote, but both of them require being fully evolved and skilled to 6-7 before being truly powerful.
6 (Pinoko) is the one healer of the group, her heal is only self applied until SL6-7. Her heals grant Immunity, which heals off and prevents the next status you would have been inflicted by.
5 is worthless, you can safely ignore that one.
Typically the short answer is "Do you need an attacker? Get Gorilla. Do you need a healer? Pinoko is alright." but if you're a whale, it'll depend on which of the cards you want subs for that matter more/will be in your deck most often. Feel free to ask, chances are we'll tell you to pick Gorilla though.

Haven't done better than 1-3. Never underestimate the ability to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

1-3 and two 0-4 in queen. Lots of people becoming NPCs at the start or near the start of the match, mostly the highest level on my team.

I think some players will ragequit right after teams are formed but before tickets are consumed if the team is not perfect. So either Ahobism needs to fix their matchmaking so that matches don't start if people drop out at the last minute, tickets are consumed as soon as teams are made, or they penalize ragequitters.

I notice it happens more often when I try to PvP at the first opening after a reset. So, now I'm waiting till around 4pm jst so I can get better matches, but now the mid-levels are CPU'ing, not the high levels. Also a 37 was on my side using N+ cards in queens, what a trip down "Getting-rolled" lane that was, let me tell you. Still, at least I'm 2/2 now instead of 0/4 with REAL matches instead of one-way stomps.
I've been doing the 2nd batch of matches (11 pm EST), and have doing pretty well. I think a lot of the mediocre players seem to do the first batch, so I've been avoiding it.
Today's results are 2/2. Luckily still maintaining top spot in my group.
This really sucks. I was originally planning to do the coliseum casually, but since I'm consistently in the top 3, I don't have the luxury to slack off.

Guess Asobism saw how popular the Nyanko cherries were, so they're introducing Gem Fairies to the game. and also disabling SP boost over the weekend as if it'll actually prevent server congestion instead of making people angry.
Watch them not understand that cherries were a great thing because you could get millions of them and fuse them up quickly, not because being combined exp+skill mattered much, and instead make these new gem fairies incredibly rare and have the same base skill up rate as rare fairies or something stupid.
And right on schedule, the next event after Pharaoh is the rerun of the Wild Beasts event.

With my new squad I'm basically the god of Knight league (not that that's hard). We will see how fast the difficulty ramps up once I get to leagues where lots of people aren't idle.
Though it will be nice to escape those people who SG their level 1 skill link cards and make my Yomi completely whiff as a result.
Edit - updated lineup

You will never escape those people, but instead of SGing their SL1 cupcake it's going to be like a SL4 redditbird or something like that.
Got a brief summary of the Wild Beasts event? Is it any good?
The original version was one of the few events where you could capture the boss monster, because the gimmick was that each monster had a split evo. The evolution material was incredibly rare and you needed 3 of them for either branch. We're not sure how they'll handle it now, but I guess we'll see.
fatbird eagle main: 3-turn counter chance, sub: heal when defense-skill main skill is activated
swordeagle is a fire version of basic lancelot, sub is 20% unconditional slash boost
manbunny is smash + sometimes grant 1-turn counterattack, sub adds counter to smash-skill using main card
ice princess is 3 turn shield active, sub is status healing when equipped to a water main
feral lion is a bite-type wood version of basic lancelot, sub is 20% unconditional bite inc
hammer lion is smash + confuse chance on active, sub is if you are 25% or lower HP you proc iron wall (invulnerable from one attack) when the main uses its skill

In today's edition of "They Programmed WHAT?!", a low-level pubbie got CPU'd early in a Pharaoh run. Later on, I leveled up to LV106, and so did the pubbie. To LV106. From LV89.

I had a PvP match where the game thought the enemy team's hand was so stupid, it just moved to the 2nd turn.

I somehow managed to make 32 in Ace despite having a losing record. I think that's a good sign I can pub match my way to Joker League if some people leave me behind.

Lost a lot from NPCs, moved up to kings for some reason. Got a levi from 50 stones and it seems the game wants my deck to be some kind of anti-buff type of deck with susan and now Leviathan in it.
Made 1st in my group overall, and pulled ahead at the last minute to nab the 1st place in the Daily also.

I have zero experience with that, but if no one steps up within a day or two I don't mind putting my face to the grind stone and giving it a shot.
Would super appreciate it. We have a lot of relevant statistical (and empirical) data about a ton of stuff in this game and we could really use a wikibase to record it all, since JP wikis for this game are terrible and don't offer summaries or evaluations in any form.
I'm also tired of using my twitter to release data values and would prefer to just point people at a wiki page.

New event dungeon, Undying Pirate, is a score attack dungeon like Cronos and Pharaoh.
http://app.famitsu.com/20140616_394094/
BOSS/DRA mon: Seebeck
The dungeon introduces the Zombify status, which greatly diminishes the effects of healing on you and causes you to take massive damage from the Zombie Gas attack.

Just so this name doesn't spread, it's definitely Xebec. He's also a decent subcard, he works like Cronos but for +DEF so any team-aoe buff cards you have will apply +1 DEF if you stick him on there.

As was explained to me they're actually supposed to be allies, being priests/clerics who kill zombies and all, they're just... not very good at their job. Killing them gives you no points, and they bail as soon as Xebec bites the dust. They also attack you along with Xebec if you get Zombified, so... thanks guys?
