In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Man, the Hello Kitty collab has to have the easiest Master-level dungeon I've ever gone through. My mono-Dark just smoked it. And so much XP too! Great chance to rank up some more.

Oh, and I used 2 rolls' worth of free stones and got My Melody and Kerokerokeroppi. Doubt I'll ever use them, but it was worth a shot.

Yes! You do get a free tamadra if you manage to finish a 50 stamina dungeon with an "S" ranking in the JP version.

I think it is probably a pretty safe bet to say that most of us aren't on the Satan/Hercules/Zeus-Dios level yet, seriously. Every month we're pushing back a new goalpost in this thread. Does anyone remember when it was good to stone only if you had more than 50 stamina? And then 70? And then 100? Now we've got people saying 'don't stone for supers unless you have 150'. The way some of you guys talk ends up being very discouraging and it gives entirely the wrong idea to new players.

Well when I started playing it was "stones for stamina? don't be an idiot!" but then it moved to 100+ stamina, which seems to be where it remains for the most part.

I'm at under 100 and I will stone for stamina for certain supers, particularly if I time it with a rank up. It's worth it to minimize the need to farm technicals and Thursday dungeons.

I don't think my Haku team took a hit, which is not to say I haven't hosed up. I wish I had a fruit dragon or something, otherwise I'm done once I get the invade.

Also, peng farming tomorrow, but still no gold dragons. Ugh, might be worth it for the dark penguins.

What are you talking about? All of those can do Descendeds if their teams have been fully invested in.

For the record, the same thing is true of Cu Chulainn teams, Siegfried teams, Valk teams and Isis teams. You can clear a lot of content with a x9-x12 multiplier!

My starting roll was a Neptune (he was OK tier at the time!) and a Sieg right after :I when Siegfried got his ult evo allowing 9x Sieg teams I could suddenly clear SO much content I couldn't touch before when he had 2.5x. It really makes a difference, and it helps that there are actual decent physical subs now other than Ogres.

I got really lucky with rolling a Hermes eventually because Siren, Neptune and Sieg slot in nicely, and I still use a 9x physical team for farming because Hermes is now physical too.

My point was that now there is monster that can do that sort of damage after you have suffered head trauma. Even Isis requires some effort and practice. I like Haku because she can do 3.5x for about the same effort as Isis and I have great subs for her, not because Isis is bad or whatever. Isis's ultimate is nice, but I don't quite have the monoblue parts yet where as I can do tons of different Haku teams depending on what I need, though the risk of getting orb starved is obviously a much larger issue.

That said I was dicking around yesterday with my U&Y and a friends high level, + egged example. I managed to trigger them with Izanagi's active and with a row of blue to take advantage if BlOdin's awakenings. It was hard to tell exactly but I think the other U&Y alone hit for over 1 million damage. If only I could do that on a consistent basis!

Gender roles guilt me into being fat.
When people 0-stone Zeus with Kirin teams, are they max lvl +297 all? Because I went in with a team ranging from 70 to 95 and kept getting unsync'd Chimeras, so I'd spend a stone there. And then I'd puzzle hard against Zeus, but one bad board would cost me a stone and then I'd just have to hope for a Kirin friendly board. So, more like 1-3 stones each run.

Well the head trauma is that your team is barely able to heal and stall but you know apparently that's not a consideration. I mean if we're talking about braindead farming teams then yeah any 3x or 3.5x monster can do the trick.

If I need a green sub to replace this Dub-emelit I've been using since I started playing should I just go for an Ogre/Goblin or is there some other, farmable green monster, I should go looking for?

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
Welp, while I was pretty nonplussed about the REM machine for the HK collab, like other have said I'm pretty happy with the actual dungeon. It's working out nice since I'm at a point in the game where I'm starting to get 'tired' of it (meaning I don't relish in grinding T5 normals all day anymore), so it's great having a fairly efficient stamina sink. I'm hoping to go from 91 stamina to 100 over the course of the collab so I can finally start stoning for supers and have a chance at some descendeds!

The best "farmable" green sub is probably an Earth Golem, that you can find in a variety of dungeons as you can see in the link, the most efficient being floor 3 of Kronos Forest. Of course, it is a super rare drop.

They're not bad for feed exp on low level monsters if you have the level 10 ones that drop from the highest difficulty; roughly 5k exp on same-attribute monsters. Even more for the evolved versions. It's not exactly pengdra, but still.

Nope, you can kill him with regular Kirins, but you do have to make a shitload of combos per turn. Matching the minimum four will do get you the damage of four set of orbs multiplied by 25x damage, multiplied by 1.75 (due to a 4-combo). Matching 8 sets will do twice the orb damage, multiplied by 25x, multiplied by 2.75 which means that you will do around 3 times more damage than in the first case. That's a really large difference.

And even doing large combos Zeus has a lot of hp so bringing more than one delay and a defense up (to chain the delays), or another gravity, is recommended.

I just got 3 Keepers from a Keeper of Blue dungeon :stare:

If you need RGB keepers for anything and also some dark/light ones, just go for the blue ones first. You get a lot more invades than I thought and don't need to wait for 2x drop since they're guaranteed in those dungeons.

Edit: When was the last time there was super emeralds? I wanna try a Kushi/Bastet team with the bonus being I only have to level Kushi since you can slot in members from any team in there with them

You can't even run Fagan, because he's a God/Dragon. It's got to be their primary type, because... I have no goddamn idea :psyduck:

So you could run CDK-V + Green Sonia for a 5/2/2.5 team, but you can't use Indra or Vritra. The Starter Dragons are okay, but not their Hello Kitty equivalents. If there are no crazy gimmicks (ha!), I'm guessing CDK/ADK/CDD/Canopus/Hadar/GrSonia will be a pretty standard team.

If there's a bunch of a certain color I guess you could run a resist toy dragon leader but I bet they put all the colors in to prevent that. Or, the fruit dragons all give 2x RCV 2x HP to a color. 1/4/4 team with 4 nuking ancient dragons might be doable, if you want to skill up 4 ancient draahahahahahaha

Every time a survey dungeon wins is because the meta needed one: ADK/CDK teams led to Dragon Guardian and Sword of Darkness, Zeus led to Blade of Justice, everything led to Echidna, Goemon led to MFK, Luci/devils led to Pierdra, and now Dtron needs her a 5cd orb changer.

As soon as a Fenrir becomes a high priority sub for a popular team he'll get into the next survey dungeon. But not now.
