EB: i'm in a rocket pack and i am about to blast off into space. it should be sweet.
I'm going to try to rotate my Team 1 Leader based on the Daily Dungeon: Kirin for Gold Keeper, Bastet for Ancient Masks, Shiva for Dragon Fruits, Zeus for Twinlits, Goemon for Starlight Sanctuary... but I have the feeling I'm eventually just going to make it a permanent Ronia slot when I've got her leveled / skilled-up / awakened.

Does anyone actually use G/L Guan Yu as a Leader? He feels awkward to use, with so many of the best Physical monsters being Fire, Water or Light.

Oh look, the consequences of my prior actions are finally catching up to me.
So I mostly run my +297 Shiva for farming and lower level Descends, so this will be almost always my number 1 slot, but what should I put in my number 2 slot?

Please vote!

All mons are max level/evo, max awakenings (except Lucifer) and your choices are: Ronia, B/L Isis, G/L Bastet, L/L Kirin, L/B AA Meta, L/L Ra, DQXQ, D/B Rebel Seraph Lucifer, DA Metatron, Satan

Where are the echidna leads? No reason to use one of your leader slots for her today :colbert:

I put mine up 314,977,273

I mostly run Ronia, second slot will either be Blucifer, DA Meta, DQXQ or whatever is needed (like Echidna for Thursdays)

To reiterate how the slots work:

- 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 going to put my (almost +297) Kirin in slot 1 so she's up all the time, and put other crap on rotation. Mostly Isis since I'm actually using her the most.

He's looking for Horus friends, or leaders that gel with Horus.

It is that time again. It is the day after metal/gold and I am already frustrated with trying to evolve baby tamas. I was mentally prepared to grind out dub-topalits as the hard part of evolving them. But I just dumped 70 stamina into getting 0 drops on the final level of Thursday dungeon. Not even a stupid dragon plant to evolve cacti for Parv skill chances. Maybe I just need to start doing trifruits. What is the drop rate like in there for fruit and tamas? I haven't really had much of a reason to run it before.

Running Trifruits for Dragon Fruits/Flowers/etc is a waste of stamina. Just wait for the regular Thursday dungeon to go double drop next week.

They renew the option each time the present changes. Ive been able to send out 3 total so far, my first one, then they added plusses to the present eggs -> new present. Then they added noels to the present machine -> new present.

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
What do people think about the stat awakening buffs? On one hand I do have ~15 spare tamadra, but they will go fast if I use them on all my heartbreakers, who are basically the monsters I've been on the fence about awakening.

Holy christ do I want an Athena so bad, I finally have a use for her with a Kirin team and incidentally also a team that can do her stupid dungeon, and then she doesn't turn up in forever. Also no gently caress that super god difficulty dungeon right off.

Same here, been waiting for her and had no luck getting one from Sowilo. I guess at least this gives me a chance to attempt to get her Ultimate orbs in the meanwhile.

Hold out. The stat awakenings still aren't going to make or break a run the way Skill Lock/Poison/Blocker Resists, Skill Boost, Move Time or a giant pile of Row Boost awakenings can. I'd personally rather dump some Tamadra on a monster that might be absolutely vital to have awakened some day than give a minor nudge to a team I use right now.

Well, he also has 15 TAMADRA, can't hurt to use a few, really. Learning to not worry about TAMADRA use as much has helped lower my blood pressure as of late.

Yeah, but like I said, I would personally rather drop them on a monster that might eventually be a critical puzzle piece than one that will never benefit all that much from being awakened. Even better just to hoard them, just in case some brand-new team possibilities opens up, such as Dark Metatron dropping and suddenly having to give a poo poo about Attackers.

Consider that you have almost a full team's worth of TAMADRAs taking up space in your box. I can understand keeping 7-8 around just in case, as that would allow you to bring up two critical monsters or more. But do you really think there will be a time when all of a sudden you desperately need to awaken an entire team? Even if you did run into this, and every single member of this hypothetical team is new and unawakened, in the amount of time it would take to evolve/level this team to a usable state we will likely have Gold/Metal Dungeon and/or free daily TAMADRAs.

I mean, it's up to you. I don't want to be blamed if you end up regretting it, I just think there are better things to do than to worry about minmaxing TAMADRA use nowadays.

Edit: I suppose you might want to save 15 TAMADRA just in case you need to awaken a godfest exclusive AND a fruit dragon at the same time. Or Top Droidragon, but about that...

I have 9 sitting around for my Droid Dragon and another 5 I just don't know what to do with. I guess it's okay that I slept through metal/holds last night.

I'll probably feed 4 of those to Yomi #3 once it's evo'd. I don't currently use Yomi #1 or #2 but whatever.

As it is, I have a bunch of potential teams (Dark, Devil, Water Physical) that I could theoretically make, but would want to fully awaken three or four monsters before using, including the new awakening-heavy Chinese ultimates. I'd rather waste a little box space for a while than limit my options if a new buff or Descended comes out that makes me desperately want to get one of those teams going. When Shiva got his ultimate evolutions, I was sad that I had spent Tamadra on heartbreakers instead of having them around for him, Freyr and Uriel. When Kirin got her ultimate evolution, I was happy to have enough Tamadra to go from 0 to max awakenings.

It depends largely on your box (and your storage space needs), though.

Anyone else playing the Android US version outside the US, and having problems with the latest update? As usual, I've downloaded the latest .apk via the website mentioned in the OP, but I can't get it to install on either my phone or my tablet.

I'm getting the same problem. On the Evozi site linked in the OP, the APK that gets generated is labeled as version 6.3, if that helps confirm something's broken somewhere.

I started playing this a few days ago, not realising how popular it was, so was surprised to find a giant thread about it. Since I wasn't too far in, I decided to restart and start rerolling for something decent, but it's been ages and no luck yet-got one God so far, but it was just an Amateratsu. Mostly the machine has been spitting out Beast Riders. I'd have just stuck with Amateratsu if the OP/guide wasn't so insistent that it will save so much grinding later.

Wait for one of the two guys who give away accounts to post, they'll undoubtly have something better.

Also, rerolling over and over right now is a waste as it's not a Godfest. You should only reroll during Godfest.
