VIDEO GAME MODIFICATION IS TOTALLY THE SAME THING AS A FEMALE'S BODY AND CLONING SAID MODIFICATION IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS RAPE, GUYS!!!!!!!
Yes, let's encourage new people to repeatedly pull for exactly one starter. I'm sure they'll find that very fun and exciting.

Persephone is gonna be so far and away the absolute best starter in the game that the tier list should be, quite frankly, "Persephone" and "Everything else". Not joking. She'll be above, like, late 2013 Horus in absolute unequivocal best pull in the game.

Your regular reminder that tier lists are garbage and the best advice for new players still is and always will be "run with whatever you start with, get some swole goon friends, and just puzzle."

I made an alt account on my kindle and my starting roll was a unit whose LS can't even operate properly without evolving and awakening them (needs enhanced orbs), followed by a garbage-tier dark unit. The only reason I didn't reroll is :effort: and that I can't get PAD to run on Nox (probably because it's set to run as a rooted device, IDK). Telling new players to reroll for top tier stuff is bad, there are still some utter trash pulls you can get that make the game much more slow and unfun early on.

That said, the last time I looked at the tier list it had probably 100+ units on it which is ridiculous.


e: With Indra inherits, do people just stick with the non-awoken 3 turn version, or is the awoken/reincarnated skill preferred? Noticed the Indian awakening mats will be available tomorrow and I'm thinking of awakening and reincarnating mine (it's unskilled atm either way).

Tier lists are, indeed, stupid, but if it's gonna exist (it shouldn't) it should at least be honest.

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm loving DONE with this poo poo.

XP Farmed: 452,052,500
XP Bonus: 1.17
TOTAL FEEDS: 1035

I kept a session of poo poo for DAthena tomorrow so save a Noel since this XP is still free.

Now to update my pad herder and figure out how much XP i burnt / overfed!

EDIT: More Stats:
Ranks gained: 25 (594 now)
I overfed about 11 million xp. :lol:

I would need an additional 250M to max out every card in my box (at it's current state / not counting evos/revos) and that includes a ton of poo poo that doesn't need XP.

Either way this event owned and I'm happy I got this taken care of. I can probably start dumping excess stamina on dragons and actually finish leveling everything in the upcoming months.

That's my plan unless someone can convince me that he actually has some ultra-kickass meta use that I'm not seeing.

Kakkab (and the other cyberbeasts/dragons) have good actives and good awakenings, including bind resistance. Their main pitfall is mediocre stats having 650~680 weighted. They work well as mid-tier filler subs for teams in general.

Kakkab for instance can work on DAthena, since it has Devil type, 3 TPAs, and SBR. I'm certainly not saying you should get her just because you have a Kakkab, but it can work there if the need was relevant.

I have a pair of Persephones, Loki, Sima Yi, and a bunch of other stuff that'd be more useful on a D.Athena team. Sounds like he's getting sold off.

Looking at my box I realized I have Famiel and hadn't realized her 100k hit is true damage (in addition to the board change). So far my likely inherits for a D.Athena team are Zeta-Hydra (Athena), Famiel(Persephone?), Indra(???), Nim(Loki), and then IDK after that. I'd have to double check but Nim looks like the best spike damage active I could bring, though it wouldn't affect units like Loki and Sima Yi so Loki's active might be better overall? :shrug:

This exactly. Eventually you'll pull some poo poo together and make a team. Re-rolling sucks.

stuff like this is why the game should allow you to advance to the next floor of a dungeon from the completion screen without backing you out

My Alt has a best friend who's had a level 22 Cloud of Darkness and a lv 14 Galbreath for about a year now. Never deviated, never leveled up, just the same two weird monsters forever. Plays every day, gets 100 pal points every day.

I don't know what's going on there. :psyduck:

Free roll from the monhan rem in JP got me a Dinovaldo/Glavenus (3658), which is 6-stars but somehow I still feel ripped off.

The splash screen is top-tier, and the monsters are kinda clunky (although bonus point for some of the weird-rear end skills), but -surprise!- there is going to be a Yama-P stream where he's going to buff whatever he rolls. Which I guess is the reason they gave the mons so few or awkward awakenings.

for those who were interested in the ranking dungeon/puzzcombo drama on JP, it's over!

gungho increased the crown score range from 1% to 3%, and is refunding ALL the stamina that people used for the ranking dungeon - basically total stamina used divided by your max stamina, rounded up. for some people this is gonna be well over 100 stones refunded, so it's pretty huge.

ranking dungeon saved!

I can't afford D.Athena just yet but I'm going to have Zeta-Hydra on her due to not owning Fujin (I do have Raijin, dunno who I'd inherit her on to though).

Phys killers on D.Athena for killing Karin in A3 I believe.
