    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    This is pretty much a non-statement - of course anyone that thinks something can expand infinitely is mistaken, and obviously the current designs are maxing heat dissipation for that design, because that is a serious issue for them that they have to design around. That doesn't mean anything...

    Heh, ony my loki team, I went through it yesterday and cleared everyone that hadn't logged in a week, and then scratched my head - somehow a list of 45 vampires/tiamats/sirens has turned into almost all valkyries and thors. Some guy with a level 85 amaterasu has been using plesiel as his leader...

    Yeah, the new guy really stepped up this episode. Actually, pretty much everything did - the large scale movements are pretty epic, assuming it was all CGI they are up there with the best of TV effects.

    Succy has much better attack than siren does, assuming you maxxed your siren's orb change, a second one really isn't much use - it's not often you get enough fire orbs in 2 turns to make it worthwhile I'd think.

    Depends - on weekends it's always yes due to the 50% off on tower of dragons stam cost. On normal days yes and no - the xp of a full bar doesn't cover levelling, but you also need to consider the amount of time spent actually running the dungeons - depending how quick your team is you have a...

    Make sure you have orbs stacked before moving to the next round - with two masks on the same timer, you should only need to do three matches to kill one if you are mono colored team, and you'd be exceptionally unlucky to get them on a 2 turn timer. I usually use a pattern like: xx0xx0...

    Yeah, it sucks, plus the drop rate blows in comparison to all the other dailies, that rainbow mask is sitting there, laughing at me, I'm like 0 for 15 now.

    Yeah, bin those fuckers to take out some of the frustration of not getting any decent drops from the mechdragon ;p For starter dragons, I can't see any reason to have more than one of a color, unless you really want to evolve them to 5* to feed them for a 10% chance at a skillup.

    I'd say double drop rate makes it jack AND shit ;p 13 red starter dragons, 0 nagas, 0 mechdragons. sigh.

    /facepalm Amaterasu uses a divine white mask, not a mystic mask, to evolve. Wish I had realised that before blowing all my stored king dragons. Oh well, I have a few more evolves ready when I get the mats I guess ;p

    Could give Alastair Reynolds, Peter F Hamiltion or David Weber a go. Just start with early Weber, he suffers from uneditable disease now and a lot of his books are like a collection of meeting minutes. Actually, even Stephen Donaldson's foray into space opera was very solid - give the gap...

    From my history of pulls, knights of various colors make up about 60% of all pulls. Just today I've done a few new starts in hopes of getting a viper alt account, and that included 5 green knights, 3 blue knights, 3 black knights, 3 fenrir knights, 2 siegfrieds and a red knight. That's to go...

    Minerva doesn't make a good leader for general purposes, but she has high stats, so you probably want something with a bonus to red or gods as leader - the easiest one of these to get is the red starter dragon. After that you want a titan and a red mystic knight - the first you can get from the...

    For a ghetto zombie team ( ogre/lits ) take a healer helper of the same color as your team, so siren for blue or alraune for green. If you have the siren yourself, go with viper orochi as a helper, having the 5 turn delay is an absolute lifesaver for when the RNG fucks you. Speaking of...

    Yes. Newbie blue ogre, four saphlits and a siren. Or newbie green ogre, four green lits and a alraune. Kill them down to one mask each round, and then store quad blocks of your color in each bottom corner, and a few spare at the top, and then you are ready to do either two aoes or three normal...

    Yeah, although I found with my CDK that his insane hp are often pretty handy - at 85ish he's got like 4300 by himself, plus double whatever dragons you have ( most people have at least one ). It's the difference between technical dungeons with double attack creatures being a snooze fest and a...

    Probably Odin if there's no water events on. He's the most generally useful as a off leader.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
