My love for you
is ticking clock
By the time twinlits comes back I should have gotten enough Tamadras to make GrOdin bind-immune - would I be better off trying the dungeon with Awoken Zeus/Valk/Verche/Echidna/GrOdin/Zeus Olympios or another Echidna instead of GrOdin? Bear in mind I haven't done that dungeon at all yet. I also have max lv twice-awoken Bastet and lv50ish Love Deity Venus to fit in somewhere if they are better options.

Echidna. One bind immune dude doesn't really matter and can actually be a liability when you're trying to stall 30 turns on one monster

I hit 100 stam at about day 145. I did a fair amount of pengdra farming, and did a lot of random dungeons and collected a ton of evo mats (mostly because I am a giant whale).

Once the Hello Kitty dungeon showed up, I decided it was time to get serious about getting to 100 stam and went from like rank 140 to rank 167 in about a week. I spent a few stones on stamina refills, and spent most of my stam on the hardest level of HK.

Edit: On half stam weekend, I think I said in the thread at the time that I was glad it was gone, but I am down to 1.5 mil gold and wouldn't mind a little more grinding to get to 120 stam for stuff like twinlits (though I suppose those will be gone soon anyway)

That's almost exactly the same experience that I have had. Don't worry too hard about grinding t5s, something will come along eventually that will be less annoying, and you don't want to burn yourself out.

How long did it take you guys to reach 100 stam? I've been playing about a month and just reached rank 100, which felt really cool until I realized in terms of total experience I was barely a fourth of the way there if that.

I went from rank 111 to rank 167 (100 stam) in just under a month of doing nothing but tier 5 dungeons. It's worth it.

The JP dude that was keeping up with days played = rank using a no-IAP account basically just farmed T5 non-stop. He also had a poo poo load of +'s from said farming. I wish I could bring myself to doing that at least until Horus is +297 but every time I see a jewel dragon I dump my stamina hoping for a Tamadra :smithicide:

Yeah I had to hold back on super dragons today, really going to push ranks. I just wish lava tubes wasn't so boring!

Quick question: I want to be able to do Hera this weekend, if possible; I have a GrOdin and a max skilled siren, along with three mermaids that I could use as awakenings; what else can I do to prepare for Hera?

(Or should I attempt to Ra her down?)

edit: The GrOdin has no awakenings, but I have one Tamadra.

You should drop Valk and run both GrOdin and the second Echidna in my opinion. You really don't need orb changers to beat the dungeon considering you can take forever to store light orbs while stalling on the tamadra. Having one can be helpful to make sure you get your mass attacks on floor 2, but the utility of a bind immune for the first floor beats out having a second. If you have a better use for the Tamadra then I hear it's quite possible to run Twinlits with Zeus/Valk/Verche/Echidna/Echidna, but I can't testify to it myself.

Grinding out T5 can become pretty boring, but the way I see it, it is much more frustrating grinding out pengdras every week for like 5-10 levels on higher leveled monsters. It seems like most people have a ton of stuff that they want leveled but still spend stones rolling the REM instead of on good monster experience. The game is really fun, but it demands that you invest a ton of money or a chunk of time to keep a reasonable sense of progression going.

I had a mostly positive experience getting to 100 stamina though. You get a lot better at puzzling with the experience, the plus-eggs give you the sense of monster progression, and oh man the stamina bar just filled up! :sparkles:

This has been my experience too; once I got most of my starting bastet team evolved I basically started in on T5 spamming and stopped only for really rare situations, like the gold dragon dungeons we got last week. When I started I still had the occasional loss in tubes just due to a lot of fatfingering and not being able to see good combos, and now I can just breeze through it no problem without needing to stall for orb changers or echidna anymore.

It helps a fair bit, I've found, to have a bit of variety in your helpers. With my Bastet giving me a solid fallback of damage boosting I've stuck basically anything halfway useful into my friend slot when I'm running it: chinese gods, Kirin, U&I, Ra, you name it. I am very noticeably better at using all those monsters now than I was when I started, which is almost certainly a better way to practice with them then a bunch of time in endless corridors.

By the time we're a few days into this event I'll have both the team cost and the Tamadras to stick my D/D Yomi into my setup so that I can finish my stamina farm running with +2 seconds matching time! :getin:

You could clear the current pirate dungeon with a lucifer team for example. It's slow as poo poo and when you fat finger a combo and die the next round because you're 500hp short it loving sucks though because you just wasted 15-20 minutes for nothing. :argh:

If you have poison, why don't you just use it on floor 2?

True, true

Had a long day at work, came home to 90 stamina and 15000 away from level up. Ran pirate dragon dungeon on master with a silly Luci, Hera, Hera-is, Zeus, Hades, Luci team. Got the drop. Then cleared legend, level up, clear expert, GOT THE DROP! Then finished intermediate, and got a rain keeper.

The Pad gods were kind today. 1 stone, 1 of the two rain keepeers to awaken my Satan, And I have 3 Pirate Dragons to awaken and never get used!

On the DA Meta team, it depends on what you're looking to do.

Your attacker subs are all red (except Elysion) so work with that. Get some good Red Goblins and get a King Flamie. Red Goblins are cheap, have a quick cooldown once skilled, and decent enough stats, they're handy. Devils have a bit better stats, but lack the utility you need.

Up front I'm thinking you could do:
DMeta / Busty Ares / Dino Rider / Red Goblin / King Flamie / DMeta

With proper levels, that team would do well with T5 and maybe T6 dungeons; you may run into issues with blue levels, I'm unsure. The Red Sonia may be useful if you get a bunch of awakenings, but probably not until then.

if you go with an ares buddy, it actually works out really well after 20 turns. everything gets converted to dark and red, then enhanced, then 50% more damage gets thrown on top.

It doesn't matter because each roll for success is independent. Usually you do all 5 because it increases your chance of getting at least one skillup which makes you feel better.

This may be kind of a weird question but is it normal to get so many Pengdra Villages like this? I was led to understand they were pretty rare and came out once after a godfest day but we seem to have gotten two already this week. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Welp. That certainly didn't work. :(

Used all 7 on Siren, got no skill ups. Decided to feed the extra Black Knight and White Knights I had to my Lv 26 White Knight just to clear up some box space...got 3 skill ups.

My luck streak of getting two Rainbow Keepers in a row is over. :v:

1 Tamadra in 65 rolls, with the 4 event Tamadra I guess I'll fully awaken AA Metatron.

My other option is GrOdin but I don't have the Zeus team to stick him in for Twinlits, whereas I do have the healer team. My options after that are Heartbreakers and Hermes/Ares, none of which seem too enticing; I have Yomi and her awakenings are great, Anubis too, but I hardly ever use them to justify the Tama dump.

80 PAL rolls, from leaving weekend bonuses untouched in the inbox:
8 kings + 3 supers (2 gold), 2 plusses, 2 Tamas!

One of the plusses was stuck on a Unicorn, and I can't bring myself to feed it away.

Both Tamas fed directly to Yomi, though now I'm out of meaningful awakenings so the Valentine's Tamas will have to rot. When did JP get their 4th awakening for the REM gods? Perhaps we'll see that within two months?
