What do I have to do to get out of the Rookie league? I wouldn't mind playing with teammates who realise that you can actually edit your Colosseum deck.

Win three matches. Promotions/Demotions only happen after the end of each Colosseum period.

Also from personal experience I can guarantee you that even in Queen League there are still pubbies who don't appear to know how to play the game

Apparently once in a blue moon they let you just straight up buy SS units, $75 for three random ones out of the entire pool :lol: :

Considering the type of utter bottom barrel poo poo you can get the weekday non-specials where there's only one SS unit in the pool seems like a better value by the day.

The only feed you get from this one is red, I think. Basically the deal here is that if you get the death god, you'll have to get one of the scythes to change his active to something useful. At least on this event you don't have to beat two dungeons to get the black medal treasures.

This event is way easier to milk 10 black medals out of since 12*/tier 3 isn't immense crap. The flames are also surprisingly good feed since you only need 3R to make an S, which feeds for the amount of 4R.

Some sort of bonus gacha occurs every weekend, just gotta wait for a good selection of boosted SSes.

If you feel your general quality of monsters is adequate you may way to consider rolling single-element the next bonus gacha to fill in holes in your roster.

Geez, scored a 14 on this one the first time. Missed #2 (overestimating damage i suppose), #3 (i dont understand the logic for the correct answer on this one), and #5 (though I was close on this, i keep forgetting hand strength)

Sssh! Be vewy vewy quiet. It's wabbit season.
Scored the same, I actually got 1 2 and 5 right- only 3 and 4 wrong, but I guess I got them super wrong since I still got a 14.

#3 - Isn't Bind Bomb off the house super strong? Especially if you target Kuroe with it? A chance to do ridiculous damage and also paralyze one of the most annoying of the two here seems like a better chance than aiming for an ace that I don't even know what it does with no guarantee it'll come out.

#4 - I picked Ace because there aren't any enhancers on the field, it's a blue card for extra damage on its own and though on its own its likely to enhance Solarium (since no one else's used a skill guarantee) I'd rather hope the next person can drop a skill-guaranteed attacker. I get that you're supposed to aim for 10 so you get a flush even if the next person can't pull a queen, but tbqh flushes almost always seem to do less damage than even a two-pair (or a freaking one-pair) since they nerf whatever skill goes off into the ground. I sort of avoid them instinctively at this point...

I just realized it was because you'd get the fusion of housemech/divemech and thus invalidating Johnny, which would be bad since Divemech's thing causes confusion, which Kuroe is vulnerable to (as opposed to para which she is immune to outside of special fusions)

The two garnets would fuse, leaving you stuck with relying on the last person playing a skill guaranteed attacker that would fit the hand, which is unreliable. If that doesn't happen, you'd just end up boosting Shirona with the Ace, which is pointless in that fight.

Ugh, I hate fusions. There's no listing of them so there's no way to know what you have to worry about without just putting them out and finding out what fuses with what and what it all does.

Well Undine is going to be on the list since she's getting a GOD evo, and asides from Johnny she is the best PVP skill boost in the game. With her new evo and subsequently her higher max skill cap she'll become even better.

Haven't seen too much of Lamia or Gorillaz so I can't comment on their usefulness, and we won't know the other six featured monsters until later today.

Gachafest is live. Guardian is still in for blue, we have a new green monster with a sword ability (not sure what it does yet). None of the elements have a really good selection, so unless Nu-Bird turns out to be amazing, I'd say hold off on rolling unless you really want Vermouth or Red Riding Hood.

E: vvv Looks like it does the exact same thing Gunslinger Charlotte does, which is attack all targets twice and has increased accuracy when your HP is below 40%

New dude, kinda goony:


Skill: 2x Sword damage to all enemies (does even more damage when their HP is below 40%)
Sub Skill: When HP is ablove 80% and main's attack skill procs, adds Sword damage to it?

Whaler on the moon.

So I have a question about support skill order since something weird just happened:

1. Support S1 is played
2. Support S2 played with SG
3. Attack skill A1 is played with 50% SG
4. Attack skill A2 is played with SG
5. Attack skill A3 is played with SG

What I expected to happen is attack A2 links with support S2, and either attack A1 or A3 would link with support S1 depending on if A1 fires due to the 50% SG.

What ended up happening is A1 does a normal attack, A2 linked with S2, A3 uses skill, and S1 attacks normally. I'm not sure why S1 didn't link up with anything? Does it just get weird if there's two support cards out when they're mixed SG/non SG?

Oceanbound
Jan 19, 2008

Time to let the dead be dead.
I speculated on the last page that a non-SG support won't fire at all if an SG support is played, regardless of how many SG skills are out, so this would go along with that theory.

vvvvvvvvvvv
The only situation I've seen support cards not link with an available skill is in this particular scenario.

Its black mist swallows all.

Support skills aren't a guarantee either unless they have a SG on them as well. They have a very high base chance but it's still possible to not get it to happen.

Aw man, I guess I have to wait another week to do my 40-pull :(

EDIT: Is it really that bad of a selection? None of them really stand out, but are any of them really terrible? I wouldn't mind pulling just to get more SS's in my deck.

Guardian is definitely going to become useless in about a week (unless they introduce more Undead monsters into the game), and Alice is subpar. Lil Red, Vermouth, and Falco are definitely strong pulls. The rest are pretty mediocre but will probably find a home in your deck.

Anyways, this week's Casino Dungeon hyper-rare mob to chase after is Cait Sith:


Colosseum also starts next week again.

Also they're raising the level cap and adding 23-25* dungeons with next week's version update but nobody here is even close to the cap, lol
