    Just invite people off the list as friends, many of the leaders up there can solo the dungeons up to castle of satan, leaving the choice of what to put in your team largely academic ;p

    That type of leader skill is still (skill damage - armor), it just rounds down to zero instead of 1 for some reason. Evolved kags has enough atk to break metal dragon armor at level 20 or so.

    Freyr is the leader for one of the current endgame teams. For green and blue teams, 2* indian god is preferred, but for red teams gigas sucks up all your RCV stat and Shiva's skill doesn't stack well, so Freyr/Shiva is better than Shiva/Shiva in most cases ( extra hp aren't much use if you can't...

    I thought it was ok, but having the kick ass protagonist of the first one being an useless angry drunk in the second was really jarring. I think it wouldn't have gotten as much hate if it was completely unconnected to the original darker than black. It had it's moments, like the way the...

    Over time I'd say thursday dungeon drops have averaged out to about 1.8 per run for me. I think people are just feeling the pain of not having double drops ;p The people that talk about the 100+ plants they got are typically feeding a bunch of stones into stamina. In related news, I...

    I'd give the game a bash with pretty much anything first to see if you like it. Of the commonly recommended starts, a lot of them are 'masochist' starters - they make the early game pure hell for a payoff that's weeks or months later. Amaterasu is queen of this category, but viper orochi is...

    It's not necessary to root the phone to just do backups if you have android 4.x - there's a method using the dev tools that lets you back it up. You need root if you want to keep multiple accounts on the phone and swap between them though. For what you need for root and risks, it depends a...

    One of the few instances where powering up Ama really pays off - cap with no +RCV is 7k hp, which gets you a max ama, max neptune , vritra and viper. Much less chance of getting smashed by the trash mobs, and faaaaaar less time killing the endless hp shit ;p

    Df did a pretty good rundown - the colored keepers are easy as. Just take a healer, no worries. You can get light and dark keepers as random encounters in the colored ones. All the keepers in those dungeons are 100% drop. Don't do keeper of rainbow with a crap team, it will make you want to...

    That can't be right, I sleepwalked through master water earlier. Blue resist dragon + my amaterasu. I don't remember what he hits for, but with 50% resist it's less than 3k/turn. I think the chinese wiki must be a different encounter. Dropped first go too, which is nice I guess, first dragon...

    "Wool" series by Hugh Howey...

    Yes, I've read the omnibus and first shift. The omnibus was fantastic, one of the best books I read in 2012 ( for reference, I read ~300 in 2012 ). I highly recommend it. I didn't like first shift as much, but it was still decent.

    Should be easy if you make the boss - biggest danger is a round with a bunch of demons on the same timer, which the nukers help cover a bit. I think you'll probably be fine, especially if you take your time and opportunities to recharge skills.

    I think you will have a lot of problem with health with that team - you'd probably have under 1k recovery, and with two vampire lords sucking up the heart orbs, it would be pretty ugly. Need a dark knight and/or a succubus to make it run well i think.

    Odin and siren is a good start yeah - when he's leader you can pretty much whatever you want in your team because he has no skill that modifies green monsters. You can get some synergy if you have a green swordsman or spearman as a much higher percent of orbs will be green, but they are both...

    That's pretty epically bad, but my friend at work has you beat there I think - he got served mercilessly. He had an account with some good stuff, including viper, but lost it when he broke his phone, so he started again with an echidna and saved up 5 rolls for godfest : red empress, naga...

    Heaps of people in the starter levels, less around as you level up, kind of like an MMO ( they only offer you as an 'explorer' to people of similar level ). Leader makes a huge diff though, my ADK leader hasn't had a non RR invite in a week or two, my ama account I have to reject 10-20 people...

    Best potential team out of that lot is ADK team I think. ADK, ADK helper, 4 rippers to round it out. Having Siren and neptune gives extra flexibility for tough bosses and times when you need more survivability than ADK team can usually pull. Healer helper if you are feeling lazy 8)

    I believe Odin will go first and reduce it to 2k, then you will be 'killed' and resolve to 1hp. Odin and resolver isn't usually a good mix because you don't often get 2 saves, due to odin reducing attacks enough to take you under the resolve limit ( i.e. you have 5k, first mob hits for 8k, odin...

    It's because the text on her ability is wrong, when she's upgraded it gives 1.5x atk, 1.5recovery and 1.5x hp. She also has good recovery, so 2x parvati teams have good damage, an assload of hp, huge healing and 2x heart orb conversion without needing a siren. Kind of good at everything, as...

    Are you sure it wasn't a fight 4 dark keeper ? The dark keeper and rainbow keeper look pretty similar, and the dark keeper in the rainbow dungeon is a 'strong' version of the normal one that hits for crazy damage. Best way of dealing with that dungeon is a green odin helper. Resolve with...

    I played a fair amount of Disgaea 2 on the PSP - it was good fun, but yeah, Disgaea is for people who look at a level 40 half dragon/half angel vampire paladin with a +275 vorpal sword in D&D as 'a decent starter character' ;p

    You need a file explorer with root access, I assume you have root since you have titanium installed, so just get ghost commander or es explorer or something like that. It's in /data/data/jp.gungho.padEN While data048 is technically only the one you need, I'd backup the whole lot anyway...

    You should be fine using my Ama with a meteor dragon or other 50% red resist as your leader. A Siren won't cut it for pure heal though unless you are maxxed out on level and +RCV - well I mean it won't outheal the boss, you'd need to rely on converting red orbs to hearts and matching to top up...

    Yes and no - as well being practically required for decent resolve teams ( she lets you have pretty close to double the hp of members than a siren would ) she's an important part of team god, got to get that RCV from somewhere after all ;p We have just been having a run of dungeons that hit...

    They have a new style of leader skill, where it's semi-active based on multiple matches - for example, 4x damage when you attack with 4 different combos in the same round. That's the easiest one - the hardest one is 10x damage if you make 10 combos in the same round. Given that's matching the...

    For the most part, the egyptian gods aren't actually any better than the current ones unless you are *very* good at the game. A lot of the good creatures from 5.0 are upgrades of existing ones too, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

    Yeah, it also depends on what you do with multiple accounts. For example, just doing the daily dragon dungeons takes about 15 minutes max for the entire day, but uses up a day's worth of stamina. So you can get some decent progress with very little time investment doing that if you want...

    Voice of the Siren by miles - they both have similar drop rates for mermaids, but voice drops marine goblins, and you are going to need like 50 of those fuckers to skill up your mermaid anyway. Also voice gets regular 1.5x drop events, which increases chances of both mermaid and the goblins.

    Pretty good actually, the healers and dragons seem to be about the same drop rate. It's actually heaps easier to get the dragons because master dragon drop rate is like 40% and 80% on double drops. I got no healers or mechs over 20 red, 42 green, 30ish light, 30 dark on expert.
