Need friends so I can complete challenge dungeons before they reset.

I also have a best friend selection I need to use before they reset it 4 days. Triangle up with me!

My 3 slots right now are pentamaxed Saria, almost +297 RevoRa with rainbow resists, ALB that I'm dumping eggs in. You can see I have a bunch of other good leads, and I'll put up anything.

OK, so, haven't played in forever, don't know what the gently caress is happening, didn't really know what the gently caress was happening back then because of multiplayer. Tear my box apart.

My impression is that I need to evolve Ra Dragon (which is apparently super hard) and then focus on reincarnating the other mons I use? How important is multiplayer?

isn't radra/dkali/dkali/aisis/revo susano like a perfect radra team? I think you'll be fine

you can also make a dathena team with haku/haku/persephone/durga if you got the 750k mp for her

Welcome back! In this order:

1) Multiplayer is basically everything. You're playing 1/3 of the game in single player, and you have the #1 and #2 leads for multiplayer: RaDra and Liu Bei. Get on the goon discord for friendly chat, advice and people who don't suck.

2) The first thing you need to start doing is working on your Liu Bei team for MP, and this requires 3 max skilled Zeus Dios. It's a tremendous pain in the dick, but once you do it, you can farm a huge percentage of the game casually pushing buttons and swiping to win

3) Farm up a Myr. While RaDra is crazy powerful, Myr is a close second and you have many lovely Myr subs. It's a fun alternate style of play you may enjoy. It can be easily and safely farmed with Awoken Liu Bei and the Dios twins, with a few utility actives thrown in.

4) Make you ARa into Reincarnated Ra. With RRa+Echidna/Echidna/Orochi/30%Grav I can run you through MechZeus for your RaDra evo. ZeusDra can be gotten pretty easily with Myr.

No, radra/dkali/dkali or dathena depending on personal preference/kanna/aisis is the "perfect" (read: platonic ideal) Radra team. I guess you could replace Kanna with Dathena if you're worried about modulation with Kanna, but the shield active you want for platonic ideal Radra is Indra inherit making ReSusano pointless.

Either way that teamcomp is more than serviceable, it's just not the best possible.

Yeah MP is for brainless farming and that's the best way to get burnt out on this game. I play solo with the exception of simple poo poo like tamas where i get more of them per stam from MP. I clear everything solo. Way more fun that way. Especially since I like to take my sweet team with the board sometimes.

1) On the Discord now as Exarch.

2) This sounds like a bigger pain in the dick than you even say. That's 42 skill levels, holy gently caress (also, I don't even have a Zhang Fei right now). Combined with the evo mats for RaDra and the evo mats for the evo mats for RaDra, how long is it going to take me to catch up?

3) The evo mats for Myr were part of the reason I stopped playing, actually; I looked at what it takes to get her and then to evo her, took a break and didn't come back. Is it substantially easier than at her release?

4) Working on it. This one at least is easy, though it presumably won't happen until Wednesday.

Thanks!

EDIT: Three stupid questions:

a) What's the point of quests and should I just complete all the ones it says are complete or should I wait for something?

b) Why do some of my friends have leaders with silver borders and stars at the top?

c) Is there anything I've missed since Myr came out that I won't realize I've missed? Changes in how the game/interface function?

DKali/DKali/DAthena/RSusano is better, since AIsis is kinda lousy aside from being a low CD unbindable color coverage. You should already be using a gem girl inherit so you don't need Kanna's base active and stacking more dark prongs gives you better damage consistency.

I'm told that you don't even necessarily need the second DKali active these days, since uuvo Radra teams can kill so many floors with just partial activation and stat creep. She's still a very solid stat stick for the slot however.

I think you are vastly underestimating both the power of four prongs and the power of a 3 cd base active that gets ReVO color boost.

Ed: And I've heard the "Second Dkali is unnecessary" thing as well, hence why I pointed out you can sub out Dkali/Kanna for Dathena. My point is that Kanna is the best light sub in the game not because she has awesome stats (they're okay) or a good spike (it's honestly kinda bad for its cost), but because she has unbelievable awakenings.

ed2: If you had Facet Dkali/Dathena/Kanna(Facet)/ReSusano is probs better than either of our suggestions, to be fair.

The mass Dios farming is something else you can also skip too depending on your goals/box.

NieR Occomata
Jan 18, 2009

Glory to Mankind.

Dios farming is nowhere near as bad as it used to be considering King Tans exist, it takes maybe a couple of weeks of farming (and I mean that in the sense of "you farm Dios and maybe Beorc Descend when it rolls around and not any more than that") total to do it. It's not hard, it's just tedious, but the amount of tedium you save off the investment is absurd. If you have LB, you would be incredibly remiss to not farm up three Dioses in the near future.

If Dios is a featured descend in like, Descend Challenge it will take literally a week of very moderate (as in 6 runs a day moderate) farming to get 3 dioses fully skilled. It is very very much Not Awful to skill up 3 Dioses now, and won't create burnout like it used to.

You look at those base stats? DAthena and Kanna are doing comparable damage despite that fourth prong because DAthena has loving massive ATK.

Isis adds little to nothing in terms of damage, and even if you're planning around an Orochi inherit RSusano still has more base HP. She's not best in slot anymore unless you need color coverage, especially once we get DAthena to cover blue on NA.

Just started out and did some early dungeons. Friend ID 382624473.

Got Hermes as my first REM, Tyrra starter, (evolved once).

For other 4+ stars, I have Extreme King Metal Dragon, King Sapphire Dragon, Tamadra, King Gold Dragon, and Thumbelina, plus all the junk looted from early dungeons. Up to Neptune Glacier on normal dungeons.

What friend leaders should I be looking for to synergize with Hermes, and how should I best be building teams around what I have?

Also for the monster stones, is there anything I should be saving them for aside from REM? Or should I just roll them all into REM rolls once the next godfest starts?

1) get into discord, people will be able to help you out a lot more with co-op dungeons. Watch for Haephestus & Indigo and ask for a carry so you can evolve your Hermes to the best evolution (Awoken Hermes).

2) Your best team for now is anything blue. You're going to want to team with Meridionalis, who is kind of rare. You want to get up to the point where you can use your Best Friend selection on one before they reset on Wednesday (they're use or lose). Luckily the best way to do this is Monday dungeon, and someone will certainly help you out on discord. After you make AHermes your best teams are ASunQuan or B/R Mori Motonari.

3) Save all your stones for the next good godfest. Ask around (Discord/Thread) next godfest to make sure you're rolling on a good one.

I'll be replacing Bastet with D.Athena once she's released and I might switch Myr out for Meridionalis once shes plussed up. If I can't find one by tomorrow I'll just give it to whoever.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
So how rough is it to farm Myr with an unskilled, but leveled/awoken team? Got Myr/Saria/Kanna/Ariel/DQXQ* setup but they have little to no skill levels and no inherits yet.\

* Not awoken yet, need Xuangzang(?) to finish her. 2nd DQXQ is still only a 5* unit.
