Random question about Dragon Rush M+: Padx says that if Ilsix resolve triggers he uses a 50% heal that also damages you. Does this happen in an order? Would an active counterattack kill him before he heals (ala Zeus / Hera) or is it simultaneous?

I know this dungeon is old as poo poo but I'm happily clearing out like two years of missed content.
It does happen in order but since it's one move, it will add in the heal on top of the counter attack damage. Zeus and Hera are just an oddity because they tried to make it feel like both of them are taking a turn so they are essentially taking two moves instead of one.

But everyone needs 2 so you should vote for her. What I don't understand is everyone saying not to vote for 6* GFE's and then going and voting for a 6* pantheon card.

Crocodile dude from JTTW? I think that's the only other place where counterattack is useful, but he's not status shielded like Zera so it's less necessary.

There are basically four cards that would make a difference to me: Kushi, Anubis, DiaoChan & Liu Bei. They'll all be in there anyways, so I'm saving my vote until near the end of voting so I can help something stupid slide in last minute.

6* Pantheon has a higher chance of being pulled than 6* GFE. JP has the statistics listed somewhere.

I did it running coop with my alt using RMinerva teams.

Sweep FL 1
Stall FL 2 a few turns
Sweep FL 3 using A.CaoCao
Sweep FL 4
Use Charite on FL 5 and wait
Stall FL 6 as long as possbile
Reduce to 50% HP, wait out the 9 combo skill and kill on FL 7. With the resists, you can practically 1 combo and stay alive. You can resist the bombs with 5 jammer res between all cards.

I don't have Minerva :negative: I can probably clear it with a better Haku board on the last floor (I inherited Maeda on Persephone to clear the locks) since getting to it isn't really that hard.

Even though I have dathena I like using kush a lot more. Was having trouble on c10 with a dark team so I put these 2 xm to use with a red healer team. Will hit a little harder when awoken uriel gets here. Shame about the weak (relative to haku) hp though.

Now that I've gotten my feet wet (it's fun, even if I'm mostly just getting carried by Vajrayaska and friend helpers) . A few questions from reading the last pages:

1. Should I save all of my stones for the next Godfest, and eschew the 10 magic stone one? I pulled once from it and got Barbara, who seems neat. Are there any other ones worth trying for, or is the upcoming event super worth it?
2. The newbie guide says to save vampires, mermaids, and other stuff. I got 3 vampies and 1 mermaid. What should I be doing with them?
3. What are the key dungeons I should be running per day?

Thanks!

There's some decent stuff in it. Some of it is really nice for a new account, even if it doesn't hold up later game. The problem with rolling a bunch on it on a new account is that it costs twice as many stones.

I think it's probably better early on to have twice as many monsters to choose from.

Those are rare farmable monster with potentially useful active skills. It's easier to hang onto one than go farm one up if you need it. You want to keep one of each and feed the rest for skill ups.

It's easier to just say keep them all than evaluate their potential usefulness.

3. What are the key dungeons I should be running per day?

It really depends on how you want to play. Half the time I don't know what the hell I should be doing.

Yes and yes.

You're still pretty new, so you can mostly focus on doing normals and techs - but besides that you should be doing the daily evo dungeons as needed to evo your monsters, and daily metal dungeons to level them. You can solo some of that, but you'll need a coop partner to carry you through the harder evo dungeons (pretty much anyone who's played for a while can do this).

If you want help keeping track of what evo materials you need, you can use https://www.padherder.com/ to track your monsters. You'll probably have to manually upload your monsters unless you can finagle and get padlistener/padproxy to work. Once you have your monsters uploaded you can check the materials page to see what you need. You'll also get daily reminders of what evo materials you need from that particular day, ex:

Julie is just a lot of fun to play. Same difficulty as Athena, but more tanky. She finally let me use my badass blue prong subs.

yea the ability to actually make use of blue prong stuff seems to be the real use case for julie. they need to add a summer version of dathena in the beach event so I can finally make use of my scheat and horde of scheat shinji dupes (which I can't even use with julie because they eat green orbs)

Considering the beach REM is one of the only real good REMs, that would be neat to see. It would almost be like You Yu becomes a usage of box space instead of a lead I use once in a while.

Also I keep seeing "favorite every pull!!" but you start with 50 slots and you also have to stock up on evo materials. I have fed a ton of crappy rares away because I just didn't have room. How many slots do you guys expand to?

1200 on main, 1000 on alt.

Both have about 200 spots of flex space after accounting for favorites, evo mats, and pis.

Early on, 5 stones for 25 box space is worth more than selling something you might want 3 years from now.

Late, 25 box space is worth more than another G I R L G O L E M.

There's probably some wiggle room in the middle, but unless you have excessive box space and nothing good, buying box space has more long-term benefits than rolling another piece of trash from the REM. Unless you're feeling lucky.

Are you feeling lucky, punk?

PDX has them at ~2% normally so you're having some bad luck but that happens with low % drops! Also, they're not invades; you get the body part instead of the boss drop
