VERY low droprate yesterday! Better save up your stones guys, new valkery REM drops on the way according to Facebook.

1602

I’ve been doing masks with a shiva and a bunch of ripper dragons. Just stall until shiva is up, then aoe down the entire dungeon. So much easier than saving orbs up and landing 2 5 orb combos a round with my zombie team.

1603

I’m not sure what you do with these guys. A high RCV heartbreaker sub on black and blue (and maybe red) teams is nice, but it’s nothing to get too excited about, is it?

1604

I was doing legendary flame mechdragon again, and on literally ever non-boss floor I got a blue skyfall and swept the floor. The chimera was on a 3-turn timer and only used a regular attack on me so I was able to win, but I definitely have never had that much trouble stalling.

Tempted to run pengdra village today, but I don’t really want to get back on that treadmill. And I think no chance for tamadras when it’s not an event.

1605

I’m on Goemon, he’s down to 35% but the wife interrupted and wants to watch something so will finish later, only 40% chance of a drop though so fingers crossed

Pah finished it but no drop

1606

I did a run with mono red (about 27K life), and just barely survived. Keeping health up on Mitsuki isn’t bad unless you get seriously orb trolled, but healing 10K life per turn as a red team is tougher. Used echidna after ninja fireworks, and then again at the end and just barely finished him off. Was averaging just under 5 combos per round before sky drops. No drop and the experience is surprisingly terrible (coins are decent) so I doubt I’ll be trying with that team again. Already have a goemon so just doing it for skill ups.

1607

Yeah not a lot of XP for Legendary level, 6000 odd. I managed a second run and he dropped as a plus egg as well. NO idea how to use him though or what team, research time I think.

Also got a Unicorn form the PAL machine!!!

1608

I got one of these. Are they any good?

I also got a Manekimewdra drop. It’s cute and all, but what does it do?

1609

The unicorn is a damage booster I think but has been surpassed in use now. the Manekimewdra is xp fodder i think.

I am running Poring as much as possible and hoping for plenty of skill ups on chu, sieg, lilith, valk etc, even using stones to get them

1610

I actually used to for HP. Almost 4000 HP for 1 teampoint, so it can be a nice add to fill out teams and increase your survivability. It does basically no damage though, so most people think it’s a waste, but it really helped me get through levels where I was getting killed easily.

1611

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Pair it with an ogre and you’re basically unkillable.

1612

Well Poring Tower is going really well for a change.

Maxed out Megalodran, Cu Chulainn And Lilith.

Warrior rose and Vampire need 1 more atm.

Gigas, Sieg need 2 more with a second Siren and Cu Chulainn needing 3.

Best results i have ever managed, i reckong i have 5 more runs today and then 8 tomorrow so fingers crossed.

I only ran master for the stone and now am just doing expert now.

1613

Spent two days of stamina on Poring Tower and got a single drop for Valk. Luckboxed into a skill-up though, so I’m happy.

Got a few skillups on Vampire and Lilith. Don’t really use those monsters, but maybe will help in the future.

1614

Well pleased, managed to max skill Warrior Rose, Vampire, Cu chu, Sieg, Lilith and Gigas.

Problem is you now start thinking about that second valk, cu chu and gigas.

At least its decent xp as well, 15,000 a creature so made a few levels as well as skill ups.

1615

Trying to run Poring in between setting my Haku team up for tommorrow. Middling results except for Highlander, who’s got 3 skillups so far. Now if I only I could get the bloody masks to evolve him…

1616

Anyone trying The Goddess Descended today?

1617

Yep, used my new Haku team in its first big test.
(Haku/Isis/CDK/Echnida/RK/Haku)

Two stoned legend. I wasn’t planning to stone but I died to stupidity rather than finding it too hard and decided to see it to the end.

  1. Sweep
  2. 4 synced masks, with the extra one being dark (worst possible setup). Worry. Clear green and light orbs until the timer is down to 2, then get at least 3x3 black orbs and sweep.
  3. Stall doing occasional small activations. Forget about his low health multi-hit. Die with him on 5%. Stone and kill.
  4. Seven Star and RK. Don’t quite kill either devil. Screw up the next match and neither heal nor activate. Die. Stone.
  5. Echnida. Seven Star. Do about 2.5m damage. CDK. Overkill. Dropped with a +RCV :)

If I had all my monsters evolved and levelled I’d probably use a slightly different team. Killing the boss isn’t too bad so I wouldn’t take a gravity, and I’d definately value a heartmaker, so something like Haku/DJ/Dark Liege Vampire Duke/Echnida/RK/Haku, although I’d have to see how much RCV that gave me. Maybe even drop the RK for CDKV, althought he RK is a nice safety blanket for stage 4 if I can stall long enough.

I see why the tricolor teams are so popular, there’s most of the feeling of being a genius you get with Kirin, without the frequent feeling of being an utter idiot who can’t make things work, or that Gungho hates you as your last green/blue/red orbs get taken out by skyfall for the nth time.

1618

I hate you. I’m like 0/35 on skill ups. Just need one valkyrie and two cu chu skill ups for max (my siegfried has somehow never gotten a skill up, though). Fuck this stupid game.

1619

I feel your pain, Hanacker. I’m currently 0/17 on Sieg and 1/16 on Valk. Both need three more points to max. In the meantime, I’ve max skilled both a third Gigas and a third Vampire, as well as getting the final three points on my Lilith that I never use. Not having any luck on the only two I actually care about.

I’ve got 8 stones left (wish I knew this would be going on x2, or I wouldn’t have spent a few stones on the first day), and will hopefully get enough drops on x2 to actually get this done. But I’m very worried that I’m going to run out of stones before that happens.

1620

Welp, I’m done here. Finally got my final skillups… it seems like not only did they turn up drop rates, but also skillup rates, though maybe it’s just my imagination. My final totals were as follows:

57 runs in total. 2 were on Master to collect two more Porings (and I had two Poring drops on Expert). Mastering is eventually getting awakenings apparently, so I wanted to grab two more Masterings to feed when the awakenings go live.

So out of my 55 expert runs, my drops were:

Big Flamie - 45. I max skilled a third Gigas with these, but didn’t keep track of how many it took, since I didn’t care much about it.
Big Bubblie - 57. These were all entirely useless to me. I already have two max skilled Sirens and a Max skilled Megalodran. I just fed them away to random blue things.
Big Woodsie - 43. These were also entirely useless to me. My Mastering was already max skilled before this event. I also just fed these away as trash.
Big Shynee - 42. Mostly useless. My Angelion is already max skill, but I fed these to CoC Healer, even though I doubt I’ll ever use her for anything. But you never know. She only needed 4 points, but it took 37 feeds. She was stubborn.
Big Baddie - 44. I max skilled a third vamp with these. I almost ditched the dupe Vamp, but realized I now had a D/W Vamp, and a maxed Vamp Lord for low cost. This third one will eventually be ulti evolved into the W/D Vamp.

Poring - 2. (See above)
Marin - 34. Sieg needed 3 more points when the event started. Before x2, I hadn’t gotten a single skill up. It took 32 of those Marins to get those 3 points. The other 2 were used to make the other two Masterings.
Poporing - 33. Completely useless, as my Cu Chu was already max skilled. 2 were used to create the Masterings, the rest were fed away to random green monsters. At least they’re worth 15000 each.
Drops - 31. Valk needed 4 more points when the event started, and had only gotten 1 before x2. I got the 4 points from 27 of those Drops, 2 were used to create the Mastering, and I now have two more sitting in my box. I feel like I should keep them for an eventual second Valk.
Ghostring - 43. Lilith needed 3 more points to max, and it took 18 of these to get them. I started feeding extras to a second Lilith, and didn’t get a single skillup in like 18 feeds. Then I decided that 15000 dark XP per Ghostring is better used elsewhere and started feeding them to random dark monsters. (after using 2 to make the Masterings.)

So glad to be done with this (for now). The idea of needing to skill up another Sieg or Cu Chu or Valk in the future gives me the shakes, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, I’ve got five max skilled heartbreakers, along with a few more max skilled dupes. And I still have stones left. So it’s been a good day.
