Puzzle and Dragons

That is true, and the new skill is slightly more awesome for earlier game while mats for her Awoken form is being farmed.

PCGF dates announced! 11/29 - 12/1.

And as a bonus, Saria and Ryune are being included in addition to the 30 voted monsters. Having both I&I and Ryune in a Godfest is pretty nice.

I have half a mind to buy my first pack, but let us see after my non iap 4 rolls.

I also have 4 rolls in JP but I don't see myself figuring out how to buy stuff on that, anytime soon. <3

Looks like I've got 5 free rolls, and whatever I buy. Which I will. Sadly my 200th day is a week after this, but oh well. I like the list and I'm hopeful of at least one good pull.

All featured are at level 50 btw, so ready to evo right out of the box.

Well there's Fist of the North Star and Christmas REM upcoming... (unfortunately)

The collab is irrelevant to me as i never watch anime and know literally nothing about Fist of the North Star (likewise the current Evangelion collab).

Christmas REM I could roll a couple times in though.

Also I realised that if I challenge mode the tri-colour former conditional technicals I can get 3 extra stones, which added with my free ones today and tomorrow gives me a 6th free roll in the morning. Just a question of how much I whale for more stones...

If anything, FOTNS has genuinely great leaders and sub that aren't outdated, though. Unlike Eva and FF. Heh heh heh.

—

So I have 21 stones in NA and 30 in JP. It's almost game time.

I don't see the stone count rising in NA though... been focusing on those Krishna skillups. 5/10 now. I don't think I'll be done before Insect Dragons rotate out unless I restore my stamina, I might just do it with the 2-3 stones left over until then (including the free ones in the mail).

I also tried Legelonte Descended (Master) on JP and promptly died on the first floor.

As I'm in the UK and we're at 1am, I've already rolled a bunch of times so will get this ball rolling. I had 30 stones to start with and spent £45 my credit card would have preferred I didn't on another 85. So 23 rolls total. Then another 12 stones to bring me up to 25 rolls. Last time I intend ever IA Ping and an early Christmas present to myself. Here's my results - what did you get?

Oh and we have a Water Gala right now, explaining several of the drops. Also my PA Dherder isn't currently in date so my comments about my teams don't reflect my actual box at present.

• Indra - Wow, not a bad start! Though I don't really know what it's used for or if I can do anything with it.
• Pandora - Hell yes, wanted her for ages as been leading with Haku since I started playing in the last PCGF
• Light Wizard Rei Sirius - Damn, troll gold
• Maeda Keiji - Not bad, I'll take it!
• Incarnation of Genbu, Meimei - YES YES YES. Very high priority for my future A Bastet/GZL teams. This alone would almost make the whole thing worthwhile
• Goddess of Secrets, Kali - Bow before my awesome luck, mortals.
• Susano - See above re Meimei - "Oh Hell yes" is a redundant response at this point
• Shiva - I have very little by way of a Fire team but this makes me want to start
• Amaterasu - My Light options before this Godfest sucked extremely badly. Maeda, Kali, this now mean that just isn't true
• Ivory Dragon #2 - First silver, I probably had that coming.
• Sun Quan - My patchy potential water teams just cried out with delight
• Moon Dragon Caller, Satsuki - Not something I'm familiar with but I understand it is far better than the only Dragon Caller I currently have, Sumire, so I'm okay with this
• Double-Edged Blade Brave, Claymore - Still hoping this series gets Ults as I have Masamune and Shotel from it already. Could be better but could be worse
• Kraken Rider #2 - This is just crap, I don't need more than one
• Red Sky Fruit, Strawberry Dragon #4 - Go to Putney on a pig, stupid troll gold
• Kraken Rider # 3 - The gala screws me again
• Akechi Mitsuhide - No idea how I can use him, but it's new and I have an interest in Sengoku history, so okay
• Archangel Gabriel - Sarasvati and Lakshmi again roar with delight, as does my new Sun Quan
• Beast Rider # 3 - One is useful, I sold the second and am cursing at the gala for this one too.
• Akechi Mitsuhide # 2 - A second is of no use at all
• Sun Quan # 2 - Clearly I've ridden my luck too far. Not sure if a second one is any good, not expecting so.
• Exa-Hydra # 2 - *rolls eyes* Can't blame the gala on this one though.
• Mori Motonari - This pantheon apparently loves me. Unsure of the value of this
• Ame no Uzume # 2 - Lets me get one of both Ults, I guess? Not really worth it but I might keep this anyway
• Phoenix Rider - If I hadn't gotten Shiva I'd be less than happy. I understand it does have some sort of niche value though, so I'm cautiously happy.

Overall - wow, wow, WOW. Several end-game capable leaders and subs there. I still lack both Verdandi and Kushinadahime, but I bolstered my Wood capacity with Meimei and Susano. Sun Quan and Gabriel give my water team hope even though I still lack Andromeda. My awful fire monsters are now much less awful with Shiva and Phoenix Rider. For Dark I have Pandora, and potentially 4 good light monsters too, including the ever-sought-after L Kali.

I spent a huge amount but those results speak for themselves. This looks like a worthy investment. Even the first six pulls before the IAP were enough, but I justified the spend. I think I had 3/4 silvers out of my 25 pulls, and only 7 pulls total were in neither the gala or Godfest, so once I've got the space for evo materials, I can start in earnest getting my better options in the field.

Good luck everyone else!

Indra is basically Susano and Kushinadahime's actives combined. 75% damage reduction for 3 turns, extremely useful on light teams like Awoken Sakuya and Ra/Ra Dragon. Not sure how useful he is for Kali though.

Akechi is pretty useful as a double orb convert and orb enhance. Especially good for Awoken Yomi/Yomi Dragon teams.

2 Sun Quan isn't terrible, but not ideal. I'd possibly keep one in case of Awoken Sun Quan, but 1 is all you really need right now.

Satsuki is pretty useful on all current Dark teams. 3 TPAS and a orb change+haste active is pretty good.

Motonari would be good for an Urd team...if his active cooldown wasn't so terrible. I haven't seen many people make use of him.

Cool, sounds good! I need to update my Padherder and add it to my sig - I need to work out which direction I'm headed in with my new monsters. Awoken Bastet remains an option, with GZL team to get there, and Meimei and Susano certainly do help with that.

But Awoken Shiva is an end-game lead, Amaterasu and Kali are awesome too, etc. Plus Sun Quan and Gabriel make a Water rows team led by either Awoken Laskshmi or my already ulted level 99 Sarasvati a more viable idea. I still lack Andromeda and Isis but I do have Hermes, who is still I think a very good sub for Water row teams?

Not sure if Sarasvati/Lakshmi, the other one, Hermes, Gabriel, Sun Quan, same friend as leader is in itself a good team though.

Awoken Bastet might not be a bad idea for you. Even without Liu Bei, you can still do some good damage.

As for a Water row team, Gabriel can work as a fill in for Andromeda, though not as well as Andromeda. I'd definitely go for Lakshmi over Sarasvati, though both could probably work about as well as the other.

I have Liu Bei and he's about 25 plus eggs from Hyper max, with a plus 297 GZL to boot.

Question really is whether I should spend the time +297ing Sasuke and Robin, or if I should switch the focus to either Meimei or Susano, or a whole 'nother team. Since I'm not really at a point where stoning for stamina is viable, I think it's best I try and focus my efforts on getting a solid team that can handle a few descends. What I obviously don't want is to spend months on a team only to find that power creep means it's useless once finished.

Though if I have a potential team that doesn't need plus eggs that's useful as I can do both. Will need to get that Padherder sorted to allow a better assessment, will try and do that ASAP.

I'd go for Meimei, she has more widespread use

In JP i rolled Bastet, Saria, Ares, Creuse, Green Wee Jas, Liu Bei.

Now i fear for my NA side luck. Everything i need for the JP Bastet team, this is awesome. Remember I said I had everything except Bastet? problem. Solved.

Team is now Bastet/Vishnu/Freya/Liu Bei/Susano <3

I think I will roll NA later... much much later.

Can I transfer that Ares to my NA? Only regret here.

—

Krishna skill level 8... 2/3 skillups... PCGF luck is in real danger now...

—

Roll NA four times. 5 hours later.

Roll 1: KAGUTSUCHI <3
Yesh, yesh! More fire please!
Roll 2: Strawberry Dragon
Not what I meant!
(Waits 2 minutes)
Roll 3: Sasuke
...again, something for my JP side.
Roll 4: Dupe Susano
Do you want me to make a Bastet team on NA too? You better try harder Gungho... (no Bastet, and green box is lacking)

I think I'll roll in Fire Carnival with a Godfest instead.

But to be fair, I got EXACTLY what I voted for. I still need Rodin and Shiva though.

edited 29th Nov '15 5:41:12 AM by Malco

• Rodin
• dupe Cao Cao
• Nut
• Amon
• L Kali
• Venus

Rest were silvers, all stuff I had rolled and sold before. I still have some iTunes credit though, so may roll more later.

Can I have your Rodin and Cao Cao <3

Next targets (NA):
- Legendary Seaway
- Dark Iza #2
- Tengu

Looks like my coming weeks in JP will mostly be evo mat farming to evo Saria and the entire Bastet cast...

edited 29th Nov '15 5:47:26 AM by Malco

Honestly if there was trading, I'd give you Rodin and Cao Cao. I don't have a use for Rodin, and two Cao Cao aren't really necessary.

I ran the Evo Materials coin dungeon for a 4th stone, and managed to evolve Meimei in the process. Decided to do that rather than ult Umi Yama for now. Though Awoken Meimei is a very, very long way off.

Love that these are at level 50, not loving the fact that I'm still shy Isis, Verdandi, Kushi and Andromeda. Meimei and Susano make me happy though. Shiva stands alone for now, except for Phoenix Rider who is a key sub for her.

I don't want tomorrow to come quickly because I'm back to work, but if we get another free stone tomorrow (far from sure we do admittedly) I get another roll of Godfest. If not I may hurt my wallet again as being stuck on 4 stones is too painful.

Rolled 6 times. Nothing notable other than Verdandi (yes!), Sharon (my third), and Bastet (my fourth).

I'll have a seventh roll soon, I'll let you know if it's good.

Just bought the other 6 stones because no willpower. A second Haku, a 4th Kraken Rider (3rd of this fest). Not how I wanted it to end, but the fairytale ending of one of my most wanted was unlikely. A second Awoken Haku could be worse, I suppose, or I leave it ulted. Will definitely not be my priority by any means however.

Used my iTunes money to buy some more stones. Got a fifth Pandora(whyyyyyyy), Saria, Melon Dragon, YOMI, and Ra. I wanted Vishnu, but Saria and Yomi are okay too.

Got one last roll by finally bothering to do Hera-Beorc mythical (which also got me an attack latent tamadra!).

I got a second Mei mei. Not too bad, I can use her to get her awoken ult this time.

Looks like I will have one more free roll today in NA. I swear, if it sucks or is not fire/dark, then I might just break non-IAP forever.

That said, I just gotta roll on Fist of the North Star REM. I need that Mamiya. <3 (I can't believe I need a silver egg!)

If I go IAP, I will roll FOTNS until Mamiya then some in PCGF.

Those first 4-5 descended challenges are kinda easy. Some of them are type-restricted Legend Difficulty stuff... that are no longer type-restricted, like Guan Yinping or Dragon Zombie.

On the other side, I have practically everything I need in JP right now, (with the exception of a green unbinder I guess,) so I'm just pumping stones into box space upgrades.

Public Service Announcement: x3 +eggs in Normals are back in NA, tomorrow.

"I've had it with these melon farming x5 +eggs on these melon farming technicals!"

edited 30th Nov '15 8:52:33 PM by Malco

Got enough for one last roll today. Got a dupe Kagutsuchi.

I ponied up the cash, I can no longer brag about non-IAP. :)

Bought the $1 bundle + 1 pack.

Took 10 rolls on FOTNS but I finally have Mamiya with no Yuria, Raoh or Kenshiro to show for it. HAHAHAHAHA.

Threw some at the Godfest leaving me with 12 stones.

• Gabriel
• "Dupe" Creuse (he's also on my JP just like Susano and Masamune)
• Muse
• Beast Rider
• L. Kali

OK I'm DONE. My gold count also has a lot of 4's for some reason. Screw this RNG.
