Finally got the spare mats to ult Athena, then sat staring at her in my monster box for a couple minutes thinking "welp, now I have to max skill Athena".

I remember a time when this PAD life was exciting.

I should really piece together a Wadatsumi team, but it's such a mindfuck to try and put together a team without awakenings nowadays. And it's all blue all the time, so Horus and RoBu seem like a bit of a bad idea. Mono-green seems like a bad idea with U&Y constantly stealing hearts. What do folks use for this dungeon?

The drive to farm orbs is strong indeed - strong enough to make me want to farm descends I gave zero fucks about before.

If you're just looking to do it on Legend for the drop, SoD Luci makes it surprisingly easy. Nothing can oneshot you or outpace your recovery except Wadatsumi sub 25% (and you only need to get him to 36% to double-tap him with Luci).

Haven't tried it on Mythical so if that's your goal or you want to beat it in less than 30 minutes, well

I have a Ronia and I've never leveled/evoed her, in contrast to... Artemis, Parvati, Genbu, Seiryu, Athena, LKali, SoD Luci, and probably three or four other circumstantially useful leaders I'm forgetting.

I guess I should do that. I was able to get Satan and Beelzebub with my Parvati team without sinking more than the one stone I got back from clearing them, which I think is the game's way of telling me to try devils finally.

Would Ceres be useful on any team if left in the un-Ult evo'd stage, or should I pick one of the easier Ult evos (G/L or G/D) to evolve into? Or would that be a waste of material? I don't have the materials for the Awoken version yet.

G/D Ceres is a really good sub for SoD/Archangel Lucifer teams because she's perfectly built for stalling (massive RCV, 100% bind immunity and bind removal awakenings), her active skill can be popped for a full heal after using Morning Star, and her D sub means she gets the 2/2 multiplier. Angel Luci is still one of the easier, if more time consuming and mind numbing, ways to run a bunch of the low and mid tier descendeds.

Otherwise, old ult Ceres is really only good for her bind immunity/removal awakenings in specific dungeons on specific teams where using her isn't as much of an opportunity cost. Her active skill is pretty worthless for most high level teams because the cooldown is so long and at this point her leader skill really isn't needed for anything. I'd ult her though just because the materials to do so and to revert it when you get the mats for G/G Ceres really aren't hard to farm at all.

Somebody talk to me about swole Athena team construction. Do you go mono-light?

Things I have that seem germane: Izanagi, L Kali, DQXQ, L Hera, L Meta, Indra, Valk, Verche, Raphael

I've barely used any of my light poo poo and basically need to level all of it, and evolve a couple of them, so it'd be helpful to have an idea who I should be working on for a Godsquad.

Ok beginner here, I got AA Lucifer as my starting god a week ago and I rolled Freyja and Karin today. Should I use one of them as my new leader, or should I stick with Mamiya. I'm up to the final part of the Castle of Satan and my max cost is 47.

You're actually in a great position. For general use right now stick with Freyja with other green bonus leaders, but later on Karin is great for endgame content due to her high multiplayer and color-agnostic nature and AA Luci will help you get some entry-level Descended guys like Hera and Valkyrie easy. Don't get rid of any of them, if you run out of space spend some free stones on boxes.

Sorry this made me really happy

I GOT GOEMON FROM CHALLENGE DESCENDED!!!!

Given that my main leaders were Artemis and Parvati for so long I'd never actually even tried Takemin until today, when I tried him with a mostly-green Athena team. He's real easy, just the two Athena's TPAs (which are basically guaranteed along with a decent chain due to the Wood/Dark exclusion) is enough to carry me to the boss and my skills being on CD and then I can oneshot him.

Now I'm kind of hype to see how far I can actually get in Descended Challenge.

Yeah I think it's kind of useless to speculate about what Super Parvati's active and leader skills will be at this point. Parvati is perfectly serviceable as both a leader and a sub on several different types of teams, while the Roman 1 gods were basically niche subs for very specific teams/dungeons when those ults arrived and they really needed the revamp and buff.

I impulse-bought a dozen stones in an attempt to grab a Shiva or Lakshmi, since I don't own any of the Indian 2 gods either. I got a Toyceratops and another GrOdin.

8500 points/17 pulls on the evo egg machine; 2 -lits, 2 fruits, and 1 jewel. I feel like it's only a slightly better deal than regular pal machine during a rare evo event, except that it can't generate useless junk or unfortunately tamas.

Eh

The real goal of this event will be to finally evolve and feed all those green chasers sitting in my box for months

I don't think it's unreasonable to lash out at being treated like poo poo, even if it is goony. People are frustrated at GungHo and they take out their frustration in... creative ways.

I think the disconnect lies in interpreting "we're pushing back this update" as "they're treating us like poo poo". It's like that idea that suffering is relative and some people know so little of actual hardship that WoW being down for an entire evening or whatever is grounds for incredible frustration and emotional outbursts.
