unultimate evolutions mats are just the 5 baby lits. now its actually feasible to do this lol

1000 boxes and box filtering. scroll bar off

[Gogan]

w00t. Got my Goemon. Easy zero stone w/ double luci, hades, siren, neptune, RK team.

[Blake]

did 5 runs on alt last time, didnt drop, 3 runs so far today, hasnt dropped

[Gogan]

Wow, guess I got pretty lucky. You could always just do it on Mystical. It should be guaranteed there.

[Nucholza]

Man, Artemis with balanced sub-type makes me hard!

[Blake]

Were getting the Jap 2.0 Gods

*24 Hour Godfest Announcement*

[Duration]: 10/31, 8:00 PM - 11/1, 7:59 PM (PDT)
Devils and the new Japanese gods descend!

These fantastic new gods are a great addition to any Monster Box, so make sure you enjoy their grand debut!

The Metatrons and Odins will also be available.


Also a pretty big patch

[Gogan]

They need to release Bastet's new ulti evo already.

[Gogan]

So the Batman REM event tomorrow is pretty corny, but the dark/water Batman is kind of tempting: 3.5x Attack for all Monsters when HP is greater than 80%, with a skill of 2x dark attack for 1 turn. The other Batmans might be good if their delay skill duration was better.

[Blake]

has anyone tried the instance?

[Gogan]

Only the easy levels. Looks like goemon teams are the way to go.

[Nucholza]

Need to look into it more, but a few of those batman REM guys look really really really good at first glance.

[Gogan]

I dunno...

Catwomen... terrible stats, irrelevant leader skill. I guess it's good during 2x weekend dungeons if you need money.

Robin... mediocre stats, mediocre skill, terrible leader skill. Might as well just use Anubis or ulti-evo Bastet.

Dk/Wt Batman... this one actually looks great. It's the only one I want.

Dk/Lt Batman... Good for mono-light team, I suppose. Stats are solid, skill is kinda meh at only 2 turns.

Dk/Dk Batman... Awesome ATK stat, kinda weak hp. Maybe a good leader for mono-dark team. Skill is terrible. Not sure I'd use him over Loki or Vampire though.

[Nucholza]

Catwoman - terrible

Robin - I think he'd be really good on Cuchu mono-green balance team, especially if his active skill stacks with King Woodsie. Even if it doesn't it's still really nice if it really lasts 6 turns like it says. 9x from cuchu with another 1.2x is 10.8x total which I'd value more than a lot of other balance team options.

D/W Batman - I agree this is probably the best one. Could make some interesting dark teams with this.

D/L Batman - I really like this one due to the active skill. The leaders skill confuses me. 2 turns is kinda lame, but the fact that he's dark makes up for it IMO. Perfect for SoD Luci teams - a lot more HP than echidna gives. Would be hard to skill up right now, though.

D/D Batman - Active is kinda lame with it being only 1 turn.....BUT this is crazy good for dark metatron. Sooooo fucking good it hurts. Currently using echidna on the team for the delay and you need it, but she's not an attacker so she doesn't get the 16x dmg boost. This guy will make that team rape even more.

[Nucholza]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoqcH2uMxPjTdHE3RWJpcVVOWUhQaEQwb0YxNWNyN FE&usp=drive_web#gid=13

Looks like D/L and D/W batmans are super rare

[Gogan]

Wow, not sure I wanna roll now after seeing those results.

[Gogan]

Ok, I'm weak. 5 rolls... 2 robins, catwomen, d/d batman, d/l batman. Should probably count myself lucky and move on.

[Nucholza]

lol, I'm weak too but will roll a bit later.

[Gogan]

Decided to roll five more times. First roll: dk/wt batman. Done!

So I got all five in six rolls. Hope that luck continues tomorrow night.

[Nucholza]

Nice!

I just did 3 rolls and got D/D batman, then robin, and then D/W batman. I'd still like the D/L batman, but not sure if I'll roll more on it.

[Gogan]

Nice! At least you got all the important ones that you really wanted. Hard to tempt fate at that point, but I have a hunch you will. ;-)

I was just looking at the new Jap gods, and I'm not sure I'm too crazy about any of them. Who's gonna roll tomorrow?

[Nucholza]

I'm going to roll, but gonna try to keep it at 85 stones (lol).

I really want Kushinadahime and Izanagi. Also wouldn't mind grabbing Blue Odin, Baal, Belial, or FA Luci.

[Blake]

im not buying stones but ill prob roll 2 or 3 times

[Nucholza]

Baal
Shiva
Green Odin
AA Metatron
FA Lucifer
Ceres
Vritra
Okuninushi
Ra
Chaos Dragon Knight
Kushinadahime

Out of 160 stones

[Gogan]

Lol @ sticking to 85 stones. least you got Kush.

[Gogan]

No JP gods but I did get... Hades #6 lol. 85 stones.

[Nucholza]

Asano do you have a D/D Hades? And if so how much HP does it have?

[Gogan]

Nope, I haven't ulti-evo'd any of my hades yet. Been waiting to awaken them first.

[Gogan]

Although I could just evo him now. Awakening him has been a pretty low priority and I always have lots of those evo mats anyway.

He's 86 with 2417hp if it helps. Lemme know.

[Nucholza]

Nah that's ok, just weren't any on my friends list right now.

[Nucholza]

New Ultimate Evolutions go live between late night 11/5 and early morning of 11/6 (PST). If you do not notice the changes after this period, try waiting a bit and restarting your device.

Bastet and Mystic Knights

[Gogan]

Bastet ulti evo coming tonight!

[Nucholza]

[Nucholza]

time to rush a tengu team lol

[Gogan]

What's the appeal of Tengu? Looks pretty mediocre to me. His awoken skills are nice, and I guess if you're assembling a zero RECV team he'd be a good addition, but outside of that I don't get it.

And the Queen Dragon should yield 1M xp. 100k is pretty weak for something you can only run once.

The appeal is his leader skill. It makes certain dungeons like Celestial Black Dragon (last normal mode dungeon) really easy because you can have a high DPS team to breeze through the early stages and then use Tengu to swap leads and have a zombie available for hard hitting bosses.

[Gogan]

Ah, that makes sense.

[Nucholza]

What Tengu team you guys using? Batman seems OP for this

[Gogan]

Vampire Lord + Batman definitely looks good. Wish I had some dark fodder to level mine up. Doubt I'll be able to put together a team for this in time.

[Nucholza]

Why Batman + vampire instead of Batman + Batman?

[Gogan]

I meant using vampire as a sub. That wasn't very clear.

[Nucholza]

I meant using vampire as a sub. That wasn't very clear.

Ah, ok. Yeah vamp as a sub for sure.

I'm debating on whether or not to still bring Echidna since both batman have a 1 turn delay. Right now I'm using as subs: 2 vampire lords, dark dragon knight, and echidna.

I'm thinking of using a King Woodsie for the 3x balance since vampire lords and dark dragon knight are balanced. I'm worried about the burn phase you have to do once Tengu is sub 40% - can't really take a hit.

[Nucholza]

No one doing godfest I assume?

[Gogan]

Don't think so. Only one I don't have is Lakshmi. Wouldn't mind a couple extra Bastets for awakenings, but don't really wanna spend stones for it.

[Nucholza]

Yeah, didn't think anyone would go for this round.

I don't think I'll be rolling on godfest at all anymore unless they come out with a new set of gods.

Hera ulti-evo is gonna be nice, though! Was able to do sky dragon rush on legendary with horus team. I'm gonna spend a few stones on super dragons today and then get ready to destroy tengu tomorrow.

[rursusferre]

I keep reading this thread for some reason, but goddamn I am so confused.

[Blake]

its a phone game on iOS and andriod. its basicly pokemon with a more complex bejeweled attack system. its pretty fun to build up ur team but a lot of the good guys come from a gamble system that u can pay money to do. the good thing is u can play it where ever u go. its good when ur bored

[rursusferre]

I know its a game, but I have tried to follow the thread without knowing anything about the game. It's been impossible. I am just saying I am stupid

[Nucholza]

Got my Tengu!

[Gogan]

Nice, grats!

[Gogan]

What kind of team did you guys use for Hera-Is? I'd really like to get her, but it doesn't seem like an SOD Luci friendly descend.

[Nucholza]

Pretty sure I used Drawn Joker and Odin leads for legendary mode - still haven't done mythical. There's a suggest team like it on there. Not sure what you have available, but if you have Odin I can put up my Neptune, which is max lvl. It was really hard when I did it and I think I used several stones on Hera-Is, but my team sucked at the time (low lvl etc.)

I'm not sure if double resist leads would be better than Odin (e.g. double neptune or neptune/DJ)

[Gogan]

What subs did you use? RK, Siren, Echidna, and some gravity? I'm guessing this descend just takes forever.

[Nucholza]

What subs did you use? RK, Siren, Echidna, and some gravity? I'm guessing this descend just takes forever.

Yeah I think that's what I used. I had only been playing the game like 3 weeks when I did it so my subs were all really low lvl and I was still awful at combos.

I had a lot of trouble healing on hera-is and on hel-heim I think I used 3 or 4 stones because at the time I didn't realize that some spells hit multiple times and odin would only work on the first hit so he 1-shot me every single attack.

[Nucholza]

*Update Notice from the Puzzle & Dragons Team*
Maintenance Date: 11/14 (Thursday) 12:00 AM - 4:00 AM (PST)

Puzzle & Dragons will be updating to version 6.1. To implement this, we will be conducting maintenance on the date mentioned above.
During this time, you will not be able to access the game.

Please note this schedule is tentative and may be extended without notice or compensation.

Additional details (including possible delays or an early finish) will be announced via Facebook.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.





I think this update contains Greek 2.0 ultis, Elemental ultis, and light metatron leader skill change

[Gogan]

GOdin+Neptune was a good call for Hera-Is. It's going to take me all day to clear it (so she better drop), but it seems really safe so far. The GOdin I'm using is fully awoken even, so double bind resist and auto-heal is really really nice.

[Blake]

GL asano

[Nucholza]

Asano, did you get a catwoman from batman REM and if so, do you still have it?

[Gogan]

Yeah, she's not leveled at all, but she's up now.

Also got my Hera-Is (plus version even). W00t.

[Nucholza]

Yeah, she's not leveled at all, but she's up now.

Also got my Hera-Is (plus version even). W00t.

Nice, grats! I got my 2nd one for an awoken down the road.

Next time we have double coins on weekend dungeon, or when I run low, I might ask you to put her up for me if there isn't anyone else running her. Don't really care what lvl she is at. I don't need her right now, was just wondering for the future.

[Gogan]

Sure, anytime.

[Nucholza]

So in 6.2 there's a new dungeon (haven't seen when it's available but sounds like its a 24 hour descend type dungeon) where you get the new light/dark evo mats for zeus and the others.

It has 4 floors and you're guaranteed 1 drop per a floor. 3rd floor is always 2 dub-mythlits and a tamadra and the last floor is the angelit and devilit (the new evo mats) so you get some pretty good stuff from it no matter what.

Apparently its a 60 stamina dungeon. The angelit skills up raphael and the devilit skills up dark metatron too.

[Nucholza]

Angry birds collab skill ups are crap also. Only decent one is for Neptune, which will be nice I guess. Others are for useless sticker girls, valk, and the new red jap 2.0 god.

[Nucholza]

Also can't wait for the hera ulti - now I dont' really need hades thank god!

[Nucholza]

Asano - they reset the present with the latest update. Do you want to trade with me? They come with +3 on them so you can just feed unless you want the dark/light starter if you get one of those.

[Gogan]

Yeah sure. Just sent you my present.

Edit: Err... I thought I sent you mine but maybe I fucked it up. The starter I pulled is showing in my monster box. Don't remember how this is supposed to work.

[Blake]

ya u both get to roll per each present

[Nucholza]

I got it, thanks! Just sent you mine back.

[Blake]

anyone get Takeminakata? i killed him on legend with 3 stones but it dropped gold

[Gogan]

Didn't try. Don't really have a team for that one.

[Nucholza]

I got him first try 0 stone on legendary. Didn't try mythical.

[Blake]

Just maxed my main team.

http://i.imgur.com/JGipvit.jpg

[Gogan]

Nice! I'm getting pretty close to the same. Maxed my Bastet, Echidna (and just recently max skilled her), and U&Y. For whatever reason I also use a W/D Neptune and CuChu on my main team which are missing 10 levels each. But I recently maxed a D/L Hades and Hera, so I'd probably be better off using those instead.

[Gogan]

Anyone getting Beelzebub?

I've got a good team for it (double max lvl/awoken Bastet leads, max lvl/awoken neptune, max level/skill echidna, max lvl/awoken hades, max skill siren), but I just lack the HP to survive against his Deadly Drive attack (15432 dmg). Need about 1k more hp. I'd be immune to all poisons otherwise, so even with my mediocre orb matching skills I could wear him down eventually.

Puzzle & Dragons – Developer made US$4.5 million revenue per day

Japanese mobile games developer, GungHo, recently announced it latest financial report, which revealed it made roughly US$4.5 million revenue per day during the first nine months of 2014. The main contributor is singled out as its hit mobile game, Puzzle & Dragons.

So far this year, GungHo has made US$1.22 billion in revenue this year, up 14.3 percent year-over-year, and operating profits of US$680 million, up 7.2 percent. It has also acquired a 70 percent majority stake in US-based mobile social game network PlayPhone.

[Gogan]

Wow. I thought for sure they'd see a sharp decline in revenue this year after we all stopped playing.

Actually, I still play a little most days; just not buying stones anymore.

[Blake]

i haven't played in months

[McGrupp]

I play a little everyday as well. Add me:
