    Random thoughts on new stuff : Modaiji-Tachi - this one is kinda fun so far, having characters that kick butt, know they kick butt, and have the attitude to go with it, is refreshing. Maoyuu Mao - interesting storyline, not edge of your seat stuff, but I look forward to more of them...

    That sucks 8(. Poison is useful on anything really - as far as I can tell it never wears off, so in a huge hp fight it's a shitload of extra damage. For leviathan, try a green odin or a orochi/ogre instead of a water resist - iirc his swing timer is like 8 turns so you should have no...

    2167 would make Walter pretty well preserved ;p I was a little annoyed at Donald though - 'I've realised I love my kid so I will go to the future to be with him instead of you'. How was there any question of sending anyone else to start with ? Donald is going to cease to exist if it works in...

    If you are switching accounts, back up the entire directory, you don't *technically* need anything other than data048, but if the rest of the files don't match data048 you'll get all sorts of weird bugs, some of which are pretty painful - for example you can get stuck in the wrong timezone, so...

    Dublits and myth dublits. It's kind a 'lol, sucker' dungeon, as the first two rounds are normal lits, and then you get rainbow colored stuff with enormous defense that hits for 8k. Zombie team or bust.

    Most important thing first - if you aren't getting 3* evolved carbuncles ( they have spiky hair ), completely ignore that guide, you will be just throwing away xp. If the creature you want to level is under level 10 : Feed your carbuncles whatever you want til they reach level 10 ( they list...

    50+ on mermaid, 75+ on succubus, no luck so far. As a random 'screw you', I got two nagas from the one and only run I've done of the fire dungeons... on my alt account that has no fire creatures.

    *raaage*, tried expert mask dungeon as ghetto zombie team ( red ogre, 4x red masks, 5* siren ) and got all the way to the end, where I get two synchronised timer masks and a mystic mask. *sigh*, got one dead, and the mystic to 2 life before they attacked together. So much time, so much pain ;p...

    Don't level him at all. Because of the way his leader skill works (any hit that would kill you leaves you on one hp if you have at least 50% life), you have a fixed limit on the total hp for your team - the less hp viper has, the more you have for other team members. It leaves you a bit gimp...

    AFAIK the 6 start is impossible to get from the gacha other than today ( part of the bonus egg event is a chance for 6* version of gods ). I'm jealous, my loki has been maxxed for ages while I try and get the evolve mats together ;p

    Yes, be prepared for some tedium though - I got a dark, light and red in one dungeon and it took more than an hour to clear. A t3 healer will cover you if you have at least 5k hp, and take your time ending rounds to make sure you have enough orbs to clear out some trash next round. The keepers...

    The 6.25 is the damage multiplier, it just means you have an ancient dragon knight as leader, and another one as helper - that gets you the 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25. The rest of the team should be an chaos dragon knight and 3 dragons of whatever type ( CDK counts as a dragon too ), but preferably dark...

    Gun Machine

    That description is misleading - it's a pretty much bog standard police procedural. The only thing supernatural about it is the level of corruption in the cops. It was ok, but I probably wouldn't bother with any sequels. Your mileage may vary depending on how much you like police procedurals...

    She isn't - from the slot machine rundown post I linked to earlier on Roman gods : "Fire is kind of pointless, since the active skill deals fire damage at one of the enemy at 10x the value. Has a cooldown of 10 turns (lowest 5). Not the best of skills, generally deemed low tier. Do not start...

    What color ogre ? In general they have more hp and atk than knights, but terrible recovery. Ogres also have an ultimate evolution, which knights don't - it makes them dual colors, you pick by what stuff you feed them. There's no light or dark ogres, but given you are using a valk as team leader...

    Most of the special dungeons are extremely hard, departure dungeon is the way to go. Once you get a few levels, the metal dragon dailies are definitely worth doing though ( You can do them really early, but if you do, you run the risk of getting a king dragon which kills you ), they are pretty...

Finally got ametarasu to level 20 ( I feel Tarrant's pain, the boss of the last tower I did took 170 turns to kill, sigh ), gifted my chaos knight, got a black dragon on the chaos knight and a white dragon on the ametarasu, then switched to loki and got...

    Kind of the definition of late bloomer there - start with a very sub-par healer that costs a fortune to improve. Long term though, it's pretty epic.

    It's pretty much always better to have single colored team, just for the leader bonuses - your vampire lord doubles the attack of all dark guys, so if you had a fire knight and a dark knight, the fire knight would have to be twice as strong as the dark to break even, even if you just blow up...

    I did that for a bit, and ended up with, erm, a 5* dark elemental or something - it's got huge stats but it's leader ability seems a bit useless - unless there's something I'm missing, to take advantage of it you need to have a bunch of purple guys, which makes half the colors useless. It seems...

    It's a kids book - pretty much all the "humor" was direct from the source material, the darker tone was mostly in bits they added for the movie. You can at least be relieved that they didn't include *all* of the singing.
