Meet the largest-grossing free-to-play mobile game in the world, a crack-laced fusion of Bejeweled and Pokémon available on both the iTunes Store (USA) and the Google Play Store (USA). It is now also available on Kindle Fire. There are EU servers, though the majority of the thread is based on NA. Non-US people can also play on the US server: Android iOS  Puzzle & Dragons, or PAD for short, is a SOCIAL, FREEMIUM game from JAPAN in which you kill monsters, take their eggs, hatch the eggs and fuse them to other monsters, and then evolve those monsters by jamming seeds and plants down their throats. The main part of this game takes place on a Bejeweled-style board, but you can drag an orb to any location on the board while displacing other orbs to create huge combos. Also the art is rad. Watch it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zpUSYKN3nA Intrigued? The puzzle part is pretty neat, but there's actually massive depth to this game. Once the training wheels come off, enemies start showing up in larger groups and hitting for thousands of damage. In most F2P games this is just a bullshit paywall, but PAD is fundamentally different from most freemium games, and it's very possible to get deep into the endgame without spending a dime. ...but yes, there is IAP. You do not need it, but it does speed things up significantly. Try not to spend hundreds of dollars every month.  The resources available to English-speaking PAD players have improved significantly in the past year, but goons being goons we like to think that we maintain  (Click here for THE SINGLE BEST GUIDE if the image doesn't load)  --> THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF STARTER GODS <-- If the monster you roll from the Rare Egg Machine at the end of the tutorial isn't listed on the page above, reroll! Extremely generous goons ChikoDemono and Kuros often use events to generate new accounts for newbies. If you're tired of rerolling, ask in the thread if they have any extra accounts! If you decide you want to contribute extra accounts for newbies, post in the thread so you can be added here. You can either have your device rooted or get a device change code from them. For those who would like to try out the Japan (JP) version of the game, MrMoose has a list of JP accounts to give away.

Repostin since no one responded. Alright, stupid godfest. Red Riding Hood (shoulda stopped here) Zuoh (dupe, and the first one is actually max skilled even though who the gently caress knows if I'll ever use him) DQXQ (good, except I have kali and awoken horus, is DQXQ useful at *all* at this point?) Ivory Dragon (ugh) aaaaand Indra So, is Indra useful at all? Is DQXQ useful if I already have rockin combo leaders? Looks like DQ ulti would fit into some mono light team I guess? And I assume a second Zuoh is MP fodder once that happens.

posted this in the last thread just before it got closed so reposting: I need to finally use my best friend before I lose it. I currently have a hypermax bastet and athena that I run, though I just pulled verdandi so will probably be switching to her for farming once she's up to speed. Also have a 297 kirin and some other things I occasionally use. this is my padherder. Looking for someone who runs Bastet, verdandi, athena, that sort of things and hopefully a Goemon for weekends. My ID is 311,869,216. Let me know if you are interested or in doing a triangle!

Hera&Zeus was surprisingly easy, Bastet crushed it without mercy. Only hard part was getting the right amount of damage at H&Z themselves.

THE PENETRATOR posted:so since I pulled Bastet and can Awaken her today I was wondering... teams? Usually you want to reserve a spot for a defensive sub (Kushi, Susano, D.Iza, etc), and it's also frequently very useful to have a 5 turn changer on board. Something like, A.Bast/Verd/CuChu/LiuBei/Susano is very solid. Depends on the dungeon of course as to what you need.

I put up Goemon on weekends and still run my Athena (not maxed but +200-something). No Bastet though, I run AParvati. I pull out AMinerva a fair amount. I'd like to put DKali in slot 2 eventually but a weekend AGoemon triangle would be the poo poo.

It ends in around 20 hours but, coincidentally, the second part of the current event (which starts in 20 hours) also includes 10x descendeds *and* 3x normals, but the normals start a bit later because of overlapping 5x technicals. Apparently gungho doesn't want the 3x, 5x, and 10x at the same time but 10x plus any of the other two is fine.

Time to poo poo up the new thread with BFF triangles:Sono posted:I have a hypermax LKali, hypermax DMeta, and am working on Goemon for 3x. My active is usually hypermax A Horus. nogic posted:I think we would work together? See my post above, but I have Lu Bu, LKali, ABastet, AParv, some other stuff. This works for me, but Sono doesn't have AParv, so I'm not sure if nogic would be cool with it or not.

edit: Doulos, I saw that, wouldn't be the end of the world if I don't have a Parvati. Do either of you have Ra? Also looking for a pre-reset BF triangle: Lu Bu (hyper) Athena (297, 2 levels off skill max -- but I'm considering feeding her off to one of the below) LKali (+180~, skill lvl 5, will finish her + next) AParvati ABastet (I have a really good team for her that needs more work, and I need a ton of practice~, but this will likely be a focus in the near future) Also have ARa, but don't have a great team for it, so it won't be up often, but I can put it up. Lots of random stuff that's max level/awoke, LMeta, Beelz, ACeres... https://www.padherder.com/user/pollysee/monsters/ Would really like at least one AParv and ABastet. 373,999,270

Spent all my stamina this morning trying out a bejweled kagu OoH team... then realized the 3x normals hadnt started yet. Also, we are still looking for a third person on our BFF triangle BEFORE reset. 326 887 249 Catseman SA I do Ganesha on weekends. Have hypermax LuBu in slot 1 usually. Run a lot of Urd, Shiva, Verd, Bastet, L Kali, Ra. Other guy in the triangle runs lots of Urd and Bastet and other k00l leeaders. Also, anyone know of any cool KotG gimmicks? i know Goemon but I dont have one right now ready to use. Doesnt seem like theres any Kagu cheese or challenge modes that Ive seen. Just lots of teams that can do it in 10 turns easily but not bejewled easy. The old Robu team works just fine but its not the fastest. Put together a team of Schoolthena/LuiBei/GZL/Parvati/MeiMei that Ill pair with Verd or whatever, but still requires four orbs a turn.

If I ever bothered to find out how to buy IAP on my JP account (JP iTunes cards?) then I would push to 297 my entire Verdandi team. That would let me clear content for a while letting me setup other teams for the content I can't clear.

A little tip for those farming lots of +eggs from 3x normals: When clearing my box of all the fodder, I find it convenient to sort by + then CHR. This makes it easy to sell or feed off all the non-plus chaff you'll get without accidentally mixing a plus in with them (a mistake I have made before).

Also it will be only the second god I've pulled in the last ten REM pulls I've made! Anybody running Krishna for a leader? I have one, and he is UEVO'd now and seems pretty decent. Nobody on my friends list is running him at the moment though, so the little bit I've played around with him I have been paring him with A.Shiva. He seems solid, my biggest problem with him is that I have a pretty pro Urd team, and A.Minerva at that so I'm not so sure if he is worth the effort to skill up right now.
