I got a new phone and am considering dragging myself back into this. Does PADlistener work these days or am I looking at a disgustingly long manual herder update?

I didn't listen, and ground out ten more stones to pull the heroine machine.

And got Julie. Is good, yes?

Annoyed:

First run at Heavenly Palace of Heretics. Next to last wave, I need a board change, I think "easy enough, I'll use my RKarin this turn and the friend Skuld on the boss." I do this, punch out the Sucker Punch demons, advance to the boss, tap Skuld... and see Lakshmi's skill instead.

I get the idea of skill inherits if your base unit has a bad active. But why would someone wipe out a good one?

Tips on what sort of team to get through level 5 of the current challenge? I can't seem to figure it out.

Someone on Discord pointed out that the boss can be delayed, so you can pack something like Orochi's Force and wait out the damage shield.

My own who-to-use is based around my main's Julie team. If I want Andromeda awakened, I need evolved Mion, and to get her I need an Ilsix. What's recommended for that without stoning my way through it? The absorb >400k dragon looks like an annoying obstacle, and the boss is loaded with dirty tricks.

Thanks to the Mion dungeon in the event, I now have all the pieces for Awoken Andromeda except for Ilsix. I'll have to pester someone into co-oping that with me at some point, if that's doable on a couple of stones.

Rein Sakura / Tachibana with all the 7cs and fingers I can muster in the middle is my new favorite casual nuke squad. It's not a guaranteed 100x per round, but it's close.

If nothing else I'm sure you could have goon carry you for ilsix, no stones required.

You haven't seen me puzzle yet. :v:

Actually, once I reconfigure my Verdandi to have heart pierce, it might be slightly easier than I thought. Still need some luck on the boss board because I don't have a Skuld.

What to do with a just-realized-I-have-one U&Y for a Julie team:

1) ult it, level it, finish skillmaxing it, strap it onto Julie as an orbchange assist
2) awaken it, level it, see if anyone on the planet still uses it as a lead
3) replace Revo Ceres on my Julie team with #1 or #2 when I'm not worried about binds, which in fairness is basically never
4) let it sit there and rot

Got a Y'shtola. Debating between using her ult as my only blue FUA, or pixeling her as my only orb unlocker, possibly as an assist.

Are assists reversible, or permanent?

On the other hand, I just tried out double Yuna on Extreme Endless 7x6 for the practice, with RSakura RAmaterasu Momiji DKali in the middle.

Cleared it. It wasn't even close. Just facerolled everything, had the heart column for the last level and had all the time in the world to move orbs. First I've ever seen a 256x multiplier.

Eighteen runs so far on Netherworld Intermediate on 2x drop looking for Lyse and, less important, Prompto skillup drops.

Waves 2 and 3 dropped something every time.

Lyse's: one drop.
Prompto's: two drops.

All the bosses and onion swords and other skillups you could need, though. gently caress you desire sensor.

Finally beat Sept C8 once I thought about it a bit. Who'd have thought that Amaterasu / 50% Resist squads would ever come in handy again? (At least triple 50% like Awoken Minerva.)

Is the void damage awakening if you match _exactly_ 3x3 orbs, i.e. if I trigger a full board two-color change I need to fence off a 3x3 block from the rest of its color?

And the wording is a little ambiguous. I assume it has to be 3x3 of a color that unit has?

Being an old fucker really doesn't help, which is pretty lovely.:corsair:

I noticed that I had 2 Andromedas and thought, "gently caress it, why not?" I had all the parts, but just the act of levelling, evoing etc was a massive chore.
Wonder if I'll ever even use her?

I triggered a Momiji full board change (green light and heal) and flailed. Whatever didn't clear was one of three possibilities, so I could put others of those colors near them and whittle them down.

HallowREM will be a willpower test for me. I love the new Verdandi and Nene but know the odds against pulling a 7* or 8* in three pity pulls, so it's gonna be pissing away stones on three more Undines if I do.

Cloud city floor three is giving me fits- I've tried kush and other high combo bonus havers, direct damage and a few other things (ignore floor constraints, dathena+ rhaku agressively) and the best I've done is knocking it down to 25% before it nukes me. :smith:

I did it with double Yuna and my favorite red 7c murder machines in the middle. Red-Green-Blue-Heart triggers the multipliers and the lack of light orbs doesn't end up mattering.

Stuck on five myself. I can get the necessary HP, I can get the necessary damage, but getting both is tough.

It's going on right now. Deus Ex Machina, Cosmo, Star Justice, Liberty Geist, Gathering of Talents alternate each day with part invades.
