 Big thanks to Vanilla Mint Ice, Emalde and Zydoran for their awesome work on previous versions of this OP! Especially Zydoran since I basically lifted this OP from him and made some adjustments to it. thread 1 thread 2 thread 3 thread 4 thread 5 Credit also to DACK FAYDEN, messagemode1, No Friend of Gravity, Omelette du Fromage, jarch3r, Reiterpallasch and a metric poo poo ton of others from IRC who worked on this OP, the wiki and other resources. Meet the largest-grossing free-to-play mobile game in the world, a crack-laced fusion of Bejeweled and Pokémon available on both the iTunes Store (USA) and the Google Play Store (USA). It is now also available on Kindle Fire. There are EU servers, though the majority of the thread is based on NA. Non-US people can also play on the US server: Android iOS  Puzzle & Dragons, or PAD for short, is a SOCIAL, FREEMIUM game from JAPAN in which you kill monsters, take their eggs, hatch the eggs and fuse them to other monsters, and then evolve those monsters by jamming seeds and plants down their throats. The main part of this game takes place on a Bejeweled-style board, but you can drag an orb to any location on the board while displacing other orbs to create huge combos. Also the art is rad. Watch it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOwn9eGXGNc (Yes, the US version of the game is in English.)  Intrigued? The puzzle part is pretty neat, but there's actually massive depth to this game. Once the training wheels come off, enemies start showing up in larger groups and hitting for thousands of damage. In most F2P games this is just a bullshit paywall, but PAD is fundamentally different from most freemium games, and it's very possible to get deep into the endgame without spending a dime. ...but yes, there is IAP. You do not need it, but it does speed things up significantly. Try not to spend hundreds of dollars every month.  The resources available to English-speaking PAD players have improved significantly in the past year, but goons being goons we like to think that we maintain  (Click here for THE SINGLE BEST GUIDE if the image doesn't load) The definitive list of starter gods, current for 6.5.

YOU CAN TRUST THIS LIST, DON'T WORRY. If the monster you roll from the Rare Egg Machine at the end of the tutorial isn't listed on the page above, reroll!

So I'm thinking of putting together an attacker team, because I finally have enough pieces. But I am really trying to figure out what, if anything, it would be viable for. Comp I plan to run with is Cao Cao/Ares/Flammie/Beast Rider (the red one)/Phoenix. Any use for it?

Also no gently caress that super god difficulty dungeon right off. Padx says that she is a 10% drop in Hera Sowilo mythical. I ran it 10 times but didnt see her drop. Maybe you will have better luck. That dungeon is fun and very rewarding so you should run it anyway.

I can't wait for tomorrow because with any luck I'll get my Dub-Amelit for my D/D Haku to complete my Ronia team (D/D Hades, Shirtless Vamp, D/D Haku and King Baddie) and finally I'll be able to take my revenge on that rear end in a top hat Hera-Ur when she comes around.

I haven't played in aaaages. Like, I stopped playing before the Cao Cao + lot were added in. I imagine much hasn't radically changed? I had an evolved Isis(not ult'd since I couldn't clear twinlits + basic Hera and stuff.

Same as it ever is. Poor Isis has been replaced by DQXQ as the go-to newbie friendly combo god. There was a Dragonball Z collaboration in Japan. This next update will allow you to choose between two leaders of your friends' list (if you're rank 120 or higher). The high level evolution stuff drops in the PAL machine during the Evo event thingy. That's the only way I could get Angelits and Devilits.

Looking forward to having "two selectable Helper monsters displayed per friend at rank 120". Now to figure which monster to offer to friends all of the time - probably Horus I guess.

Wow, having two helpers to choose from is going to be sweet. Guess I'll mostly leave Ronia and DQXQ up but my Blonia team will also be max leveled the next time super saphs roll around. Seems like healer-focused DQXQ is a better compliment to Ronia though since the 48x can overcome some things that are tricky for Sonia teams.

I already have all this poo poo planned out: All the time: poo poo Bird (soon to be +297, almost done with +RCV). 2nd slot: - TH: Echidna - FR: BlOdin - Weekend: Lu Bu / Amaterasu - Rest of the week: Lu Bu / Parvati / Lakshmi Horus will change for certain dungeons. Anything no RCV like Satan I'll probably have Sakuya instead. Bastet for multipliers/tri-colors.  I have too many leaders to manage

Shitbird 24/7. One of these days, I'll put some effort in getting the +eggs. Recently maxed out Ronia. I want to get Zeus so I can do Twinlits so I can get the last angelit I need to ult evo Lilith. Of course, by the time that happens, it'll hopefully drop in the PAL machine.

Yeah, that's gonna be nice. I'll most likely have my maxed-out Parvati in my "all the time" slot, with my other slot switching between Shiva and Kirin.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I already have all this poo poo planned out: - 1st Slot: Whichever leader you currently have active. This is the leader that shows up when you friend request and in your friends' lists. - 2nd Slot: The leader of your very first team. So in your case, it would probably be easiest to put your rotating leaders in Team #1 and then leave your Horus team active most of the time (since you'll be using him the most anyway).

I'm thinking Leader 1: Ronia/ Leader 2: Isis/Rebel Luci https://www.padherder.com/user/monstersa/teams/#59881 Does that look like a decent Zeus team? I desperately need Devlits for Shiva so my Ronia team can breeze through everything ever.

So folks under rank 120 can still have two leaders up, just can't take advantage of it on the friends list. My rank 80 alt now has Kirin and U&Y up. Jesus, this dragon fruit is tormenting me. ChikoDemono fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jul 10, 2014 |
