"Put something in otherwise you get stupid newbie"

GoodBee posted:

I hadn't actually considered Baal for DQXQ, I figured I would need Hera-Sol for dark eventually so he's still the level he popped out of the REM. I'm guessing I would use him if I can get enough levels in him to approach the stats Kirin has now. I've got 2 Tamadra and 7 babies so I could probably get both his rows. If Hera-Sol is always straight up better than Baal, I'll probably hold out.

I have Take. Should I work on that after Athena for a better team? Or is skilled Echidna most useful? Or both? I'm guessing I would dump Freyja for Athena.

Baal vs. Hera-Sol: For a DQXQ team, Hera-Sol is going to give you more mileage in the long run than Baal, but at least Baal fills the Dark slot as a sub element now while you don't have Hera-Sol... If we ever get Baal's skillup dungeon he could add a little bit to burst on boards that can still activate after his skill, but out of the box it's just too long of a CD.

Take vs. Echidna: Echidna's delay (especially once skilled) is invaluable in a ton of places. Having said that, her stats are lovely (especially her HP, which can make hitting HP thresholds for pre-emptives difficult. Also, some (especially the most recent) descends have status immunity shields on the last boss. For those situations (and if the miniboss(es) don't need a delay) then Take is going to be better than Echidna, BUT you're then stacking light enhance actives w/ Hera-Sol (and Athena if you go with her... you might still want to do this for two rounds of bigger burst from the two DQXQ skills but Hera-Sol's light enhance adds damage reduction that Athena and Take don't).

Box space chat: only keep evo mate for your main team at most. Don't hoard poo poo you don't need or won't be able to use in a long time. Also once you get your initial rolls into the machine and (hopefully) have some gods to play, start dumping all your stones into box space. It makes life so much easier. I usually do it in increments of 100 (20 stones) and only upgrade when I begin to consistently run out of space.

You get 5 stones at 30 and 60 days played then 10 stones at 100. From there it's 5 every 50 and 10 every 100 days. Plus events every other week dump 6-8 stones so really just don't roll for a month and you'll have enough stones for a bunch of box space that last you a good couple of months.

I'm about to hit 500 days played and I'm at 400 max space with about 320 spots being used and that's including evo mate for a dozen or so mons I'm working on. Some people manage more with less.

Use your dqxq team with verche instead of lilith. Stall against archangel to charge skills. Probably use echidna on floor 3. Use sun quan to kill michael. Survive heal and do 40% ish damage to sandalphon in the first three turns while skill locked. Echidna and try to finish him. Use an isis friend.

That said, skill level one sandalphon sucks and I rarely ever use him. I regret spending exp and tamas on him because he just rots in my box. If I need a spike, king shynee is better. Without stalling for his active there are just too many better choices for the spot he fills. Maybe he could be good once skilled up but you already have sun quan who is as good as a sl 8 sandalphon.

I would just replace echidna on your ronia team with DJ and you will be fine. Sieg will give you infinite turns to clear away light, wood and heart orbs. Just carefully match them away, store up a bunch of red, and do your first damage just after he takes a turn. If you don't get boned by a skyfall, you get 4 turns to kill him after you've gotten a bunch skills charged up and your first turn is dumping a row or two on him. Athena descended doesn't get much easier than with a red ronia team with good rcv. If you hit him early. Just use whatever skills you have available. You don't really need them against Athena.

An alternative to using DJ is using ult Persephone so that you can match away blue too while still upping your rcv.

If you're struggling that much with Fire Forest Nerva, I'm assuming it means you aren't using good friend helpers. Go through padherder and puzzledragonx and add the biggest, beefiest Hermes and Idunn&Idunna friends you can find. Make sure they're actually using that leader, though, as a lot of the people who have those leaders listed probably don't run them that much.

You can also start working on your Cao Cao team; Phoenix, Echidna and that ninja are a decent start. Go through and add a bunch of Cao Cao and leader friends, too. Amenouzume friends will also be useful for a while. And definitely work on making a King Flamie for extra burst.

Focus on ranking up, especially on the weekends just chain run Dragons of the Tower in Tower of Giants until the mid 80s or so. You can also run it during the week but it's less stamina efficient, though still good. You'll want to work on progressing into the newer dungeons during the week, probably.

You'll want to evolve your I&I as soon as possible because she gains some power. Cao Cao you can leave unevolved unless you have extra tamadra to feed him to gain his row enhance, but level him up to 50 at least.

As far as box size, the general rule is 2 box spaces per level, but expand up to at least 100 ASAP.

Your leaders are very playable but it's probably just going to be a bit of a slog in the beginning. I think really good friend leaders is going to be the most helpful thing for you going forward.

If you're trying for Hera you most likely want another Luci buddy, or a Grodin, depending on your teams hp and recovery levels. Auto Healer is gonna do jack and I cannot think of a single instance where I'd run one with a luci team.

I`m guessing the answer is obvious but since Hera is coming in 9 days (two heroes in 8) i`d like to try my best and be ready.

The question is: Do I stand a chance (other than spending dozens of stones) with non max-level/max-awakenings luci/luci team? my avg level is 35 for SOD luci/witch lilith/Drawn joker (2 keepers are level max obviously), I could likely make it to 50+ before then and, if lucky, get a few awakenings.

I mostly want to be sure if spending a few stamina stones to get xp metal dragon chain runs peripheral to ranking up would be worth it or if I should forget about it unless most of my party is max level/woken up and that would require a LOT of time over the next few days.

You definitely don't need a max-level, max-awakening team or anything like that. I'd think your team could manage it, but you might want to test run in Endless Corridors to be certain. Hera hits for 12k a turn -- can you keep up with that? With no gravity (catch-22, I know), you'll have to hit Hades with both Morning Stars, then have to recharge them both about 4 times to take out Hera, which means about 120 turns of stalling on her. I imagine you'll have the raw stats for that, but you should make sure you have the consistency before dooming yourself to a losing race.

Floor one sucks. If one unicorn survives, it will orb troll your board 3 out of 5 times. Uriel can also wreck your board for Kirin. Kirin friend makes DQXQ's active a heart maker only.

The biggest thing though is that Isis's bind clear/immunity can be pretty clutch for floor 3 and just the heal can really be useful in surviving many rounds of damage when you need to. Kirin's gravity doesn't really help much unless you are having problems with Michael. I guess I could see that and that would make a good case for using Kirin. I just have preferred W/L Isis.

If you feel more comfortable with Kirin, go for it. I think they both could do well. Just don't be like me the first time a few months ago and try to use a L/L Ra.

Edit: I tried it with Kirin to see if I liked it better and I do. I think she does better than Isis. So I was wrong, go with Kirin. I started with a crappy board against the unicorns and only killed one. I was able to just kill the other one over 3 turns with DQXQ only no problem. Isis can get the job done but I think I prefer to use Kirin now. Gabriel on floor 3 would still totally suck but can be managed by eating a hit, echidna, heal up and make a good board, take another hit, kill with your now unbound leaders. Good call on Kirin.

She just brings the awesome rcv to your team no need for her weak awakenings. Lilith brings a ton of rcv with a good active too but doesn't get to use all of your red rows at all. You have the benefit of a max skill Persephone. You might as well get some mileage out of her. Persephone earns herself a spot on a broad range of teams. There are much worse places for a dark snow globe.

Whenever I think about using tamas or snow globes, I tend to prefer subs that are used on multiple teams.

What should I be aiming to level up? I have been working on getting my main subs to 60, and trying to level up and evo potential subs, like Phoenix Knight etc...
I have been able to do a few of the early descended dungeons with a little bit of stoning, Hera, Goemon, Heroes and the like, but I feel like I am stuck on content otherwise. Normal dungeons are unlocked through Jupiter, and technicals are unlocked to Forbidden Tower so far. I haven't attempted any of the daily mythicals, I don't think I could handle any of them yet, maybe trifruits?

Any thoughts or advice? What should I throw Tamadra at? Am I missing any obvious farmable subs for my teams? Why does getting rubylits have to be so painful?

If you could find a way to get two angelits and a devilit, you could make a pretty good B/L Isis Physical team.

Isis/Hrungnir/Siegfried/King Bubblie/Armored Vamp/Isis would be pretty killer IMO. It'll give you absurdly high spike damage when you use Bubblie with Isis' multiplier. You just need to keep an eye out for the RO Ace dungeon, and the Vamp dungeon is coming up.
