Whomever decided to keep using that gator fucker with the resolve murder counter should be kicked in the dick. 3 runs in a row where small combos skyfall 2-3 matches, usually green and light, to ensure my small water combo is instead going to push it to the gently caress you murder move instead of just breaking down the resolve. I guess I need to just bring a fua sub and ignore that dumb resolve poo poo entirely.

A big shield will in fact do the job, and is frequently how I handle it because I'm lazy. But the "git gud" option is to bring a FUA and kill him that way, which is probably the better of the two options. Resolve bosses are probably just going to get more common and being able to handle them is good.

The croc is also not status shielded so you can use delay or poison, or as a two hit attack you can use a counterattack. He's probably the easiest of the 'kill you' resolve enemies, aside from being made of paper so it's hard to chip him.

Looks like we have a neighsayer
Getting back into this game after like... A year break?

Man I am lost. But in the plus side during my break I apparently got good at Diablos!

So how far behind the curve is Diablos now? My team is Diablos/rHaku/rHaku/rYoni/Diaochan (I think, I don't have it on the phone to confirm that past spot) Also I'm guessing padherder is dead, looks like it isn't being updated anymore.

^^^ I think Diablos is still an S-tier lead. It's still showing up a lot on my friend list. Not as much as some other units (especially Ciel due to the freebie) but for a unit that's a year or two old it's stayed remarkably popular.

I'm going to feel real bad for the people who decide to start playing PAD on Jan 10th.

OTOH starting with Giga, Non, or Ciel would make most of the content braindead easy even for a new player. Currently running Ciel, R.Isis, Ana Valk, R.Amateratsu, Fujin. It's real, real dumb how hard this team hits with a 7c or better. And it has something like 12 seconds of orb move time to make those 7+ combo boards happen.

I played for 4 years, quit, and have come back and practically started with Ciel 2 weeks ago and blasted through everything once again. Beyond braindead. You'd really, really have to suck to not be able to combo at least 4 with her and just melt everything Mythical difficulty and below.

I'm like rank 340 now with zero whaling. The Christmas event was loving stupid in the best of ways.

For the hell of it I made an alt account and it has an evo'd Ciel at rank 31 since I was able to carry it through Mion Descended in co-op to get the diamond dragon fruit on it (and a sandalphon to use as a sub). Its original roll during the tutorial was Apolluo's egg, providing a shitload of RCV and a x5 atk active once it's evolved.

It's not fair to treat a SA like a regular awakening, there's a lot of caveats and it isn't always available (even in single player, e.g. rogue dungeons).

So this ranking dungeon seems like a pretty obvious Zeus Verse, no?

Floor 1 Ilmina or Melissa if you're poverty like me, could also use a defense breaker active to not get the penalty
Combo quickly on floors 2-4
Floor 5 hit 8 combos either with a combo boost active or skill
Floors 6-12 combo quickly
Floor 13 I've been using Sonia Elle to heal and make a tricolour board to use a VDP sub with
Floor 14 Yusuke and combo but that's probably unnecessary.

I've only done two runs and I'm sitting at 15%, I'm sure that'll go down a lot though.

I'm using Verse (Weld) / Sonia Elle / Yusuke / Melissa / Beach tachibana / Verse (Weld) friend.

Matching prongs seems to make the combo floors more consistent and you get a bonus for it, so putting a prong equip evo seems okay. I took assists off of my other monsters because the dungeon is really long and it kept overriding my assists, and I haven't had any problems sweeping floors so far.

Aug 26, 2010



strat is 1c verse yea

you poison the doggos to ignore the combo shield and avoid the button penalty and bring dragon killers for the first few floors. I used beach valk (phys killer super awakening with attacker killer latents) for the non dragon floors. I think you're supposed to have specific damage control setups for the last couple floors but I just buttoned then vdp'd the boss. my first run was at like 8% but it'd go a lot higher just not using a button for zeal

Same. I have two ragdras, an odindra, heradra and radra and none of them see any use other than odindra. I can't imagine I'll need shiva or neptune. Maybe I could finally pick up dark athena but I REALLY have no use for her so I dunno.

The link shows a dark Meimei being added as a new thing for 750k.

Also this REM is a trap indeed. Pulled Apolluo which may be a decent pull since all my best units are light, but also Arthur and my third Aife, the last two being thrown straight into the woodchipper. Should have pulled heroines.

Kuroyuri was a card from the mp shop that had an active that heals 40% of your hp for three turns with a six turn cooldown. With two on your team youcan have 100% uptime on her healing which helps a lot of high hp teams that struggle to keep their hp up.

Also I don't think Amen cares about subs, a 10,000x multiplier is enough to make any card hit like a truck. I guess you need a fua and a vdp, and a fujin active in there somewhere. It should be pretty easy. No color or type restrictions.
