Just looked over the new info for Thoth and Sopdet. I enjoy the fact that Thoth is called "Toto" in JP because they have no equivalent to the "th" sound. And Sopdet is "Sotis" for some reason. I continue to hold out hope that Hera-Sowilo will be renamed to something less stupid, like Hera-Sol. I'm really not sure what they were going for with that one.

The Heras are named after runes. Sowilo is the S or sun rune.

The Hellenised version of Sopdet is Sothis. It's also the usual name for the divinity in French so I took me your post to realise it was a god I was already familiar with. :)

Just looked at the mons (PDX), and Sopdet/Sotis/Sothis has a really nice leader skill. And Thoth's active makes him a perfect sub for a Sopdet/Sotis/Sothis team.

The only real downside is that you're pretty limited in your choice of orb-changers; can't use heartbreakers or Mystic Knights in this team. If you happen to have both Fuma and Hanzo, though, you've pretty much got it made.

Speaking of clearing KotG reliably, does anybody use a Satan team? As a non-Ronia-haver that seems like the best fast farmable team and I'm only a couple Tamadra away from being ready to give it a shot. If you run Satan frequently, especially on the weekends, add me at 319,930,293 and I'll give you some pal points.

My other leaders are Freyja/Bad Isis, Shiva on Thursday, Valkyrie on Friday, and I'm working on a Parvati and a Horus.

So I decided to roll for the gala since it's the last day that it's up and got a Gryps Rider, and then decided to roll again because why not and got a Hanzo. I already had a DMeta from an earlier godfest. I'll probably just skip the next godfest entirely because there goes all my PAD luck for the next month or two.

I've tried rolling off and on for a Fuma Kotaro (and getting three Hanzo's along the way, pity me). Sensing that I had finally given up hope, I got him off a couple of free rolls this Ninjafest. I suppose I am all set for this new descend boss and/or Vegeta if we get the skillup dungeon in a timely fashion.

What's a basic Ra team? I haven't played anything but Ronia in forever so I am now functionally retarded at anything but making pretty orange and purple rows, and I thought Ra might help me practice multi-combo teams again.

Ra needs literally every orb ever, so just use your beefiest monsters of every color, maybe stack light if you have enough Light/Sub element gods.

For a mostly farmable team, maybe Ra/Yomi/Take/L/B Izanami/Athena/Ra? Tons of light damage and every color is covered, huge HP and attack, You've got a semi-reliable Oh poo poo button with Izanami's skill and you've got Solar Lazer for high DEF enemies.

Maybe put a King Mastering in to refresh if you're board screwed?

The other option is to stack Orb Time enhances. Shiva, Yomi, Bastet, DQXQ, hell maybe even Lakshmi can be okay for it. Actually, out of all of those DQXQ is probably least useful because you don't want orb change on a Ra team.

I'm assuming you have LL Ra? Regular Ra is fine with 4 heartbreakers, LL Ra wants all utility. Bastet/Yomi/Echidna/BlOdin or Orochi is my usual team of choice.

I have a bunch of accounts kicking around if you would like one. I have 2 Shivas, an Ares, Ame No Uzme, Idunn&Idunna, Freyr, Freja. They are nothing special. Pretty much all just out of the tutorial when I ran that drat thing 200+ times to get a leader that I would enjoy playing. The Ame account has some good stuff that I can remember that came from the pal machine and 6 stones. Or if you would like, you could have my rank 20 Kushi account that has like 17 stones, a rainbow keeper, a pair of noel eggs, a dub myth a couple trifuits, a berserk and Indra. Kushi isn't amazing but you could roll 3 times on the coming godfest and hope for a better leader. All were created a long time ago so they will get to start with 2000 pal points from the downtime which is something.

If this is still available and for android I wouldn't mind taking the I&I and or kushi accounts for my girlfriend and tablet.

The "beefiest monsters of every color" strategy gets my vote. I generally just roll with RGB Odins + Yomi, even for some of the more difficult descends it's 100% based on whether or not I can match correctly. A side benefit of that is if you kill a round or two you can get Yomi up even on a 5-floor. If I had to go with a pure farmable team, I'd probably try something like King Mastering, Echidna, Hera-is, and maybe even something like Lilith for the move time + decent recovery.

Spirit Jewels event announced on FB
https://www.facebook.com/notes/puzzle-dragons-north-america-gungho/the-spirit-jewels/874075572621036?fref=nf

quote:

[Duration]: 7/11 (Fri) 12:00 AM - 7/25 (Fri), 11:59 PM (PDT)

A special event is coming to Puzzle & Dragons! During the event, the Five Element Gods (Kirin of the Aurora, Sakuya and Heavenly Guide Suzaku, Leilan) will have a rare chance of appearing in the Legend and Mythical difficulties of Descended Dungeons!

When these Five Element Gods are defeated, they will drop the Evo Materials required for the Ultimate Evolutions added in the Ver.6.5 Update. Kouryu the Star Emperor, Fagan and Archdemon Beelzebub utilize the Spirit Jewels to their fullest, with powerful new forms!

*Dungeons without Legend or Mythical Floors are excluded from this event.

Five Element Gods will appear one type per day during the event. The Evo Material also drops at one type per day, so players must conquer the daily rotation of Descended Dungeons to collect all the materials.

Challenge these high-difficulty Floors to acquire rare monsters!

My goal is to get a full set for Beelzebub and a second green and light for Athena. I wanted to waste all my stamina on descends anyway. Orb collecting just gives me extra incentive. Both of those evos are so good.

I just looked up Athena's and holy poo poo that's a nice boost in stats and awakenings. May have to work on getting the eve mats for her (already max leveled her). Beelz doesn't look bad at all either but 5M XP curve on dark kinda sucks considering all the other dark I need to already work on.

Also, anybody here running Blonia? I am hoping to evo her tomorrow and feed her some Tama's but I don't think I have very many Blonia friends.

First of all, gently caress EU getting specials before us. Second, I was pumped about the spirts, but god drat did I forget how hard zeus is. I cleared it with 4 stones a year ago, and still don't think I can 0 stone it. Adding a Horus and Ra fixed most decendeds, but not the King.

I'm a month into PAD currently, and run my initial-REM roll Bastet as leader:

https://www.padherder.com/user/hugs

Where to from here? Progress-wise, I:
- Don't seem to be able to finish King of the Underworld ([N] Tomb of the Saint-Deep), the boss' attack is a 1hit KO for me.
- Am up to roughly [T]Shrine of Green Water .
- Have done most novice/int/master [S] dungeons where possible (haven't completed any minimum-cost or No-RCV ones yet though)

My normal team has all elements (it's there in my pad profile) just because it made sense at the time - I'm wondering if the composition is rubbish given my permanent Bastet leader, or if I just need to grind longer, or both! The monsters I have at max level that haven't been evo'd yet are due to a lack of materials; that's my current aim.

Any advice on teambuilding (or in general) would be great - and if any of you (read: whales) have spots on your lists then I'm 359,222,306 (thankyou already to Kalas, Fricken, Chiko and beeboy).

First off, have you rolled at all on the REM and just had awful luck? If not using some of the stones that you should have built up by now during the next godfest might not be a bad idea. Your team is fine for what you have available, what friend leaders are you using? If you use DQ/XQ with the team you listed you *should* be able to do enough damage to beat King of the Underworld before he kills you.
