Is there a setting that makes all the combo calculations go as fast as they do in the time attack dungeons by default?

On the main screen, go to Others -> Options -> Dungeon -> Skip Combos (On)

Or if you're in a dungeon, Menu -> Options -> Skip Combos (On)

I've had a pretty good success rate with Meri. She's great for this dungeon - only requires one combo to activate, no pesky skyfalls, benefits from the Blue orb bonus drop, and her active helps with the combo shield at the end.

What do people use to clear the Multiplayer FF dungeon? I never really play multiplayer, but I'd like to get a Yiazmat for the hell of it.

My super tank team for playing with absolute randoms: RCeres Romia HParvati AnaCeres Mito RCeres. 75% resist all the enemies, lots of RCV, stupid amounts of healing from actives. Your damage kinda sucks even with all the killers but you won't die, and a spike turn off the Romia board can actually be half decent damage (I got the kill shot on Yiazmat twice). Used it for the four runs I did before Yiazmat dropped, the hardest part of the build is finding someone with RCeres up.

I managed to clear it with 11s remaining using Meri (floor 3 invade), this was my team and button order in case it helps anyone: Meri Sharon Whaledor(Gabriel) Hermes Skuld Meri

1 Sharon, row of 8 + 1 combo, or row of 9
2 Skuld, row of 6 + 1 heart combo
3 Meri, row of 8 + 1 combo
4 Hermes, row of 8
5 Gabriel, heart column + blob of 9
6 Sharon, row of 8
7 Meri, row of 8 + 3 combos

Snowglobe is row of 8 like most of the rest. Last floor combo shield is by far the hardest, I kept choking because of the time pressure and rushing it. You might not need 8 orbs on some floors because of killers on Sharon, I just went with 8 for insurance. Floor 1 is the second hardest with the high defense green dude. If you miss the heart combo on 2 you'll die to the preempt on 3, I learned that the hard way. And of course if you skyfall enough orbs to kill without active you should do that.

Meri definitely seems the way to go. Send like you have to be pretty lucky for everything else. Finally managed to clear it with 1.79 seconds left and that was with the invade on the resolve floor. It's tough.

I don't have Skuld for Meri. I can drag along Red Urd but that's a dead slot just to kill Alfecca. My blue subs are on the crap side anyway.

Maybe I should just run it until I get the invade on Alfecca?

Hey all, I've been trucking along in PAD for a while, but aren't entirely sure what to aim for now. My mons:

https://www.padherder.com/user/sent/monsters/ (edit: I didn't fully add all my awakenings)

I've been using a team of Ilmina / pixel tifa / Lmeta / solais / freyr so far, but I'm not sure if I should be building towards anything different.

Also, apparently Yuna is pretty good now, would it be worth it for me to try to roll for her while her rates are increased? Or is the chance too low that it's just a waste of stones.

Beach Valk has a machine killer which can be hard to find and extra killers on top of that, while BMyr is an excellent inherit for boss kill teams (make a heart column or a box with CTW time). Both have their uses but it depends on your box.

Three rolls in an attempt to get Yuna:

Lightning

Should I pixel evo them both? What is Lightning good for? She seems interesting and I have a bunch of light subs that should work for her.

Are you looking to try out a different play style, trying to clear some harder content, or do you want a project?

Ilmina is really low effort for a good return on damage. Awoken Baal is the only other thing you've got right now that you could work on for that team if you feel like it. He's not game changing, just a different option.

You could try Okuninushi/Diablos if you to build a dark combo team. Awoken Okuninushi caps out at x12 but he needs 3 dark matches along with 8 total combos to trigger Diablos. I'm suggesting it because you've already got Nohime and Revo Haku at good levels. You would want time extends and 7 combo awakenings. Okuninushi isn't the best leader but I use mine a lot as a sub or an inherit so I don't think it would be a waste of time to evo and level him.

If you only want one monster, it's probably a waste of stones. If you like FF in general or want some different color pixel stuff, you probably won't feel to bad throwing some stones at it. You might get lucky.

That's good advice.

I'm not sure I've got anything that will work for all the time attacks. No Yog like mentioned before. I'll have to see if I can put together anything for each one.

Anything recommended for Serket today?

Serket should be doable with practically any row team if you have an appropriate pixel for Kopis. I flubbed and had to two-shot two different floors and still cleared. You can laser floor 1 and use the unbindable badge for the one bind preempt.

Yog...

Otherwise you need something not red, unbindable preferred, a pixel for the damage void, probably a laser for the first floor, and a lot of damage to burst through serket's shield. Off the top of my head aizen/ameno could probably do it. I'm sure there are others too.

Two major stumbling points -
1) Can't be red because of floor 2.
2) Needs to be able to put out ~30M damage on the last floor very quickly.

I've been very close with DAth / ReHaku / ReHaku / ReRa / Pixel Seph, but just couldn't deal with #2 fast enough.

Yeah, my first attempt wiped there when I discovered a plain row didn't cut it, but I matched some more orbs the second time and it was fine. I was using Pixel Lightning paired with Ameno though which is a huge multiplier to begin with, as well as type advantage.

A gemstone buff should be plenty, and you can pop it the turn before to guarantee the kill on Kopis with your pixel. Red atts can be managed if you are careful with your subatts, I used Ilmina to laser floor 1 for example.

Managed to clear the dungeon using Kirin from the MH Collab as a lead. (Finally, it's useful for something!) Subs were Yang Guifei (lazer + board change), Pixel Cecil (for the void break), and a couple of Ilms.

I'll leave up my Kirin today for anyone who wants it. My ID is 368, 037, 296.

I walked through Serket blind with Ameno today so yeah that row lead advice above is on point. I switched in an unevo'd Ra just for floor 1 and can farm it reliably now. Just need a Wukong for 3 SB since I lack Lightning.

Btw whoever was asking about Lightning - she's good on Ameno.

An absolute lack of blue pulls is cramping my style when it comes to these time attacks though. Got nothing to void punch with Meri.

Would you happen to have a different pixel and a Masamune or Zweihander? Is dead weight for most of the floors, but then you use a color change inherit to be useful on the one floor where the pixel is needed.

Nope! I think I had a Zweihander once and then sold her. Never bothered to even skill her.

Instead I've just been running Pixel Lightning/Ameno and eating the time lost to skyfalls.

If it works it works. Serket TA was designed around Kopis's damage void, so pixels make it much easier than the other TAs.

I got it on my third try using basically the same team that I used for Serket, but I did cheat a little by using the tab trick - if you run out of time while the damage animation on the boss is going, tab out and you get the clear when you app switch back.
