Bad idea, you will have to stall for 10 turns on hera beorc or not match light at all. Also you will get skill locked forever. Hades is a jerk though, I have to admit that. He killed me several times before, thats a lot of HP.

Oh, yeah. My Isis is still B/B, so if there were another B/B on my Friend list that should be okay, right? Or just some other combo god without light.

I just realized thanks to irc, while skillups for armor knights DO exist they're going to be the most cruel ones yet. They are invades (bad) drop unevolved (evoed on higher difficulty?) and require the same materials as chasers (worst!).

Urge to farm woodpy: rising.

Not only that, but if you are not careful they will kill your rear end in the dungeon. The red one, which is the one I'm farming, is actually more dangerous than the boss). 3m hp and hits for 28k damage when below 50% (14.5k plus change a color to jammers above it, every turn), so if you get the invade in the first floor you risk getting chumped quite easily, unless you're running a defensive team.

Edit: And (of course) the invade chance is crap.

So, I started playing last week, and rerolled yesterday based on the guide. Pulled a Parvati from the REM, but the levels are starting to get challenging. Without having other good monsters to fill out the team, what should I be doing in the mean time? Also, when should I use the Pal Egg Machine? That isn't referenced at all in the guide.

Post your friend code, get some good goon friends, don't worry about your own team until you get up to like Castle of Satan or so.

Only roll the PAL machine when rare evo materials are in it (like now), or if you are about to hit the maximum (50 rolls currently). You might want to save some PAL points in case we get the mini 3K PAL machine that JP got a while ago.

Early on, I'd say roll the PAL machine whenever you have the points. You can get some decent early-game subs from the PAL machine - Lil' Green Dragon, Centaur, Green Chaser, Green Fairy, and the Wood Ninja are all useful for a Parvati team. Later on, you'll want to save your PAL points for special events when it says "Rare Evo Materials in PAL Machine!". (Which, incidentally, happens to be active right now.)

Also, once you get the Coin Dungeons (Rank... 80, I think?), I'd recommend purchasing and running the Dragon Guardian dungeon. That dungeon has the Mystic Stone Knight, which is one of the best farmable subs in the game for Green teams.

Aside from all that, the best thing you can do is get some good Friend leaders. For Parvati, I'd recommend getting Artemis, Freyja, Athena, Green Zhuge Liang, and other Parvati friends. Post your ID in here, and you'll probably get a fair number of invites.

But I'll be fine.
You mostly want other evolved Parvati friends, Verdandi works as well, in the early game you can use a buff athena which basically any high level goon friends will have. Avalon Drake is rare but super good. Artemis and Freyja can be backups.

Yup. The Dark one has a similar full-board convert skill - changes board to Fire, Water, Wood, and Dark orbs. Great for Durga players.

As for the others, the Light one randomly generates 4 Light orbs on a minimum 4-turn cooldown (very nice); the Green one randomly generates 3 Green & 3 Dark orbs on a minimum 5-turn cooldown (pretty nice); and the Red one converts Light orbs to Heal orbs on a minimum 5-turn cooldown (would be nice, except that she has 0 RCV).

The red/blue one (Rozuel) is supposed to unbind your Urd team, I guess. She's just weird.

I'm not sure I'd free up a spot for Famiel in my U&Y team. Maybe if she had a dark subattribute, so that I could slot her and Green Odin in a team and ensure activation against sub-binding bosses.

That entire series feel underwhelming as subs. Bind immunity is nice, but it costs them half of their awakenings and only the red one has a skill that takes advantage of this. They'll probably get much better once their ultimate evos come out in a year and GungHo give them new awakenings, but in the meantime I only want red Parvati and maybe the light one (although Rei Sirius does the same job better for healer and god teams).

They're OK leaders though and probably solid starters (no need to fill their team with a specific type until late-game), especially red and dark (who do have farmable early game subs).

Speaking of Isis, Should I just evo her to B/B Isis or hope I can the two angelits I need? Not sure if it'd be a waste of evo mats or not to evo her and then revert it later on.

The evo mats for b/b isis are really easy to get, so go for it you if you want to do that.

Just tried Hera-Beorc (legend) again with a team of BB Isis/GZL/Echidna/Pandora/DD Haku/ROdin. Pandora was filler/orb changer, and ROdin was because there was nothing better available. Stoned on Leviathan after getting boards full of light and heal orbs, got a +egg drop on Hera though so it wasn't too bad. Pandora ended up being useful for bind removal too.

Also: rant: they really need to standardize the low end cost restricted stuff. 10, 12, 14 all having different ideal teams (and you only need said team for the one dungeon) is some serious rear end in a top hat game design.

I don't know. I kind of like different low cost/low rarity dungeons.

I like them in theory. In practice, the rounds and cost restriction are engineered in such a way that there's a punishingly narrow range of viable teams. Did we really need 3 dungeons, all heavily green, with cutoffs at 10, 12, and 14?

For Chasers, it's about the same either way - ~80% chance for 40 stamina on Master, vs. ~30% chance for 15 stamina on Expert.

Don't know about Nenekos, though.
