Oh, god, I just checked. Yomi's max skillup level is SIX? Those bears are going to be a total pain in the rear end to farm.

I have a max skilled FA Lucifer. That was 16 ranks. Let me play my tiny violin for you.

Holy poo poo, ouch. I guess I sort of JUST entered the end game and it somehow never registered while I was reading the thread that yes, skillups are that annoying.

At least I just ultimate evoed my ceres, so the dungeon won't be a problem. You guys weren't kidding when you said Lu Bu was awesome. It feels like all the best monsters are devil or dark type, or they're kirin/DQXQ.

None of the skillups that have a 100% drop for an evolved form are even that bad. I'd rather skill 3 more FA Lucifers again before I have to max skill my Michael or Uriel.

I may also have over 40 unevolved squids in my box after going 3/35 during the event and then 1/11 on dragon flower drops yesterday...

A level up max of six is actually pretty reasonable in this game. But, for Yomi, I wish she went up to eleven.

As for the best monsters, pretty much all colors have two or three that are great. Dark just has the best synergy since it is pretty much the row-enhance color (just like its opposite, light, is rainbow-combo central).

Team up with ronia, then use both of their skills to obliterate fools. His stats, color, and both skills just work very well for demon teams, which are extremely powerful anyways.

Could really use a Bastet, Ra, and Ami, but I have every other Egyptian and Japanese god. I'm not sure if I should roll or not. How awful are my odds of getting one of those 3? Am I right to think that it's 9.9% per roll?

Its far, far less. If you are ever rolling for a specific god, you will need more than one or two pulls. Pull if you want, but never expect anything besides like another ducking thanatos.

If I want to skill up Highlander, is Poring tower better to run on Master or Expert? Master has a guaranteed encounter with the Poporing I need, but it's not a guaranteed drop and I'll get twice as many opportunities on Expert.

Got the biblical waifu!



As usual with the latest batch of JP descends, the boss itself is not that dangerous, but reaching that last stage is not easy at all. Since the dungeon requires you to use all colors to enter, Ronia and the row-enhance brigade are not that useful (and believe me, you do need to be doing lots of damage in this thing) so bring out the Shitbird/Kirin/U&Y/Bastet/Okuni hordes (U&Y gets boosted by the sub-boss, which gives you five turns of extra water orbs, so he's probably the one for this thing).

Edit: I just checked the monster's max damage and a rainbow Luci team should be able to take a big poo poo over this dungeon. No problemo at all.

Stop rerolling and take one of my starter accounts. None of them have OMG GOD tier gods but they come with free stones, so you'd have more chances to roll during the upcoming GodFest.

Good news! Uriel's skill food is a guaranteed drop in the red Mystic Dragon Legend. It's why I have him max skilled and not Gabriel or Apollo (that and abysmal skill up luck with Gabriel).

If you only want a Ronia or Rodin, I'd advise saving your stones for now. The JP version has started getting special Godfests with 3x the rate of Godfest-exclusive gods like the Odins and Sonias, and we're bound to get that here in the US version sooner or later.

Yes. I have I think 2 max skilled ones. a 3rd that is sl2 or 3. These things FOREVER to skill up. I will seriously go 0/40 on them. It is major bullshit.

Not even really for the gimmick either. Just for shits and giggles.

Imagine a Luci team, but make it twenty times slower. Also, if you're unlucky you get wiped out. It's just a silly gimmick. It got nerfed because, with a five turn cooldown you could sneak someone else to actually do damage (but it was still boring as poo poo).

It's not like I've got no worries...
But I'll be fine.
Basically, the strategy is that with 6 max skilled masterings you can theoretcally attack an infinite amount of times with no counterattack. It was nerfed and made useless basically, but with Ult Mastering's 1.5x attack on its leaderskill and the small attack boost and sub-element, it can now actually do some sort of damage. Plus around 150k health isn't something to sneeze at. It's still only really vaguely useful in tricolor or no rcv dungeons, but it's an amusing little trick.

cleared two heroes twice and got one of each hero (lucky). seems with Ronia D/B vamp 2x baddie, corpse wyrm DZ ronia the only struggle is the masks. 1 stoned the first time. Zero Stone'd the second.

max awoken but mostly 1-3 skill level so it was a lot of stalling for skills during masks.

now to spam the porings

I know enough about the game now to grasp why Ronia is highly sought-after, but I've been so laser-focused on monogreen teams that I never particularly felt the need. I guess it would be nice to have green one (Gronia?) though. Hell, after the last Godfest I had to take half a dozen people off my friends list because they switched over to using nothing but Ronia, and she does nothing useful for me.

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
The only saving grace about having friends switch to Ronia is you can pair her with Hera Ur for a pretty good team. I only recently acquired Hera Ur, but I'm looking forward to using Ronia friends in the future for green heavy dungeons that Isis and U&Y have problems with (like this stupid green flower dragon :suicide:).
