I WON A CONTEST IN TG AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS CUSTOM TITLE

trucutru posted:

Just install padguide (which lists all available dungeons) and play the JP version. I play both and JP it's just so much better (Today's free roll: beach Urd).

With padguide telling you all the details of a dungeon, the only thing that the language-challenged have to learn is the basic navigation interface.

That's the thing, I find it really tedious constantly swapping between apps double-checking what I'm looking at. Even with basic familiarity with how everything is laid out from playing NA it takes orders of magnitude more time to pick a dungeon and run it, and if I'm waiting on a specific dungeon for an evo mat or something I can't just glance at the Special tab like I can on NA. Anything involving collab friend lead inherits becomes a mystery because I don't have an ID to look up.

If I stuck with it I could have made it work but it didn't feel worth the effort. NA gets most of the free stuff these days albeit on a delayed schedule, so it's mostly some collabs we're missing. The 2-3 month lag time on updates is nice in its own way for making advance preparations for a cheese build or something, and Gungho does throw us a bone with several day long OSC windows instead of hours.

After playing JP for so long it's weird playing NA or EU. I am able to read things but I ignore it all and go to pad guide instead.

Split Ult Ronia is up too.

I've got 2 Verdandi so I'll switch one over to FUA. I think I'll make my one Urd FUA also. Poor Momiji.

I've been playing Anubis/Diablos with double Diaochan and it's been pretty fun. I've also got my own Diablos and Kush. What are some fun teams to run with Kush/Diablos and are there any other fun leads to run with Diablos?

I have my BFF still and none of my current BFFs have Anubis up ever. Does anybody with a decent Anubis want a BFF? We can do a triangle if there's interest, otherwise I'll just BFF you. I currently have Diablos up all the time, Anubis in the first slot and Yomidra in BFF slot, and occasionally use Aizen.

I don't have my BFF but i'm totally looking for Diablos BFF and always have Anubis up in slot 1. Also always in the Discord if you need to ping me. Friend info is 358,127,408. I usually have Ra Dragon up on team 2, with occasional appearances from Noctis, Ilm, ALB and Mitsune X.

edit: Anubis is hypermax with Sheena inherit

edit2: My GF is also looking for a Diablos BFF and has a hypermax Anubis & Kush, and owns a Fuujin as well as a Sheena, if you're in need of someone with a Fuujin inherit. Her friend info is 386,024,418.

as usual, the dungeon boss rolls are my favorite. fully evolved z8 and nordis? sign me the gently caress up.

beach rolls were absolute trash obviously.

Man, new ult Skuld does some amazing damage. The only real challenge is putting together a team with enough damage control to handle the damage-absorbers.

Also, new ults announced for Ryune, Saria, and Sylvie. The "sub ult" versions all get FUA and 7-combo awakenings, so that's pretty nice.

Same pretty much. I learned where the things are and a few characters for the days of the week. The only time I ever have issues is when I'm looking for a very specific technical dungeon or something out of the ordinary.

I took a break because juggling two accounts got boring so now I have decided to pass my alt account forward.

There is a lot of good stuff there if anyone needs an account.

If not, is there still someone who hold accounts for furure needs?

Is there a list of which monsters have a remove void/absorb damage active? It'd be convenient to know which monsters to try to get since there are so many different types of absorbs/void.

On NA for ignoring absorb, it's just Bride Persephone and her skillup material. Beach REM should soon add Beach Artemis and her skillup to that list. JP has a few others I believe but they're all collab that NA probably won't see.

For ignoring voids there's no actives, but the FF collab on JP added the 3x3 box awakening to punch through them.

the absorb killer is on bride persephone and beach artemis (they have different orb changes tho); the void breaker is an awakening and only on the pixel ults for the final fantasy collab

This is perfect. I sent a friend request and I'll BFF as soon as you accept; having RaDra up on team 2 is an added bonus. I haven't been running him lately but I'm always tempted to go back to him sometimes, and very few of my friends have him up anymore. Let me know if you want me to throw him up ever.

It's really not too bad now. Just bring a fujin, fua, and be able to do 7c for the dragon. Maybe a shield for the f2 preempt. And I would recommend sdr for your fujin.

Accepted the invite - let me know if you ever need anything up or specific inherits (other than fuujin who has eluded me), I'm always in the discord. I still enjoy paying radra a lot honestly, even with the existence of anublos.

If you have an extra friend slot my gf would love another diablos friend too. Thanks for the bff!

I finally decided to get in on this game. After rerolling more times than I care to think about, I finally got one from the God list - Hathor. Most of the advice and information on that list might as well be written in Welsh for me just now because I have no frame of reference for this game beyond the tutorial. Is Hathor OK to start with? Should I just stop retelling and crack on with the game now, picking things up as I go?

Yeah. Do this.

My JP alt account started with a Grimrock and is now all sorts of baller.

You'll eventually get stuff that's good. It's more fun to build up your own account and learn how to play a few leads than it is to get overwhelmed with a really awesome account before you know what to do with it. And rerolling also sucks. Just play with what you have and enjoy the game.

P.much any leader is good enough to at least get stones to pull a better one eventually. The best tip I could give a new player would be to get on the Discord.

https://discord.gg/S8W46N

There you can get friends with the Leaders that matches your Leader or someone to carry you in dungeons for materials you might need or answer any questions you might have.

Well, there's a lot of different radar dragons and each one is unique so it'd take a lot of time to detail each one. Noahdra is an exercise in stalling and damage control, although I think some teams like Meri can oneshot with a perfectly calculated team. Ignore absorb actives are starting to trickle out which may help but we still don't have the void punch awakenings yet on NA.

Yeah, what everyone else said. I did pick back up that account. I can transfer it again in 30 days if you, or anyone else wants a Rank 477 account with some nice monsters. I'm going to evo some stuff and collect freebies on it in the meantime.

Hathor is a little tough to activate just starting out. But the good thing about the power creep in this game is you only really need to activate one leader skill to just wreck all the early game. Post your friend code, get a bunch of goon friends and try activating your friends leader skill. It lets you try out a bunch of different playstyles.
