Puzzles and Dragons

I have to force close it on my android phone or it will kill my battery in about 2 hours. It's irritating for sure.

In other news, got my Mermaid evolved into a Siren, which is pretty badass and changing a lot of my options for doing shit. After that though, was kinda feeling pretty meh on the game, grinding something else up to the next evolve. However, got a white ripper from the pal machine this morning, so hey, thanks for the new motivation, P&D!

Siren is a great pickup, you should prioritize getting her to her StE Form, if your team is strong enough to run the water dragon adept - you can do that now or when she's StE feeding her marine goblins to get her skill from 11 to 5 turns is really slick.

My Siren The Enchanter is Max Skill level 25 (571 RCV) I'm 352,245,208. Any rerolled peeps who want to add me, I should be able to provide 50% resist rippers in the next couple weeks for all colors. Black is done, Can provide Water (neptune) Just make sure you have @RR - I'm nearly at my friend cap but will dump people I don't know if you have @RR in your name.

Grim, I think hellfire is a step above what echidna has which I guess puts it over the top for metals.

Yeah his ability is 5x atk instead of the 3x of hers. He's like Amat vs. Siren/Alraune/Archangel autoheal in that regard.

I just assumed it was something hardcoded in, not an armor issue since as far as I know high armor mitigates them down to 1, not 0. So I didn't think it was as much matter of him overpowering their armor as them just automatically negating those kind of attacks.

Actually, I mean the exact same assumption for the same reason until I saw someone mention it here.

Does he hit masks OK too?

How do you get 2 mystics in one run? Mask dungeon non-expert seems best for the tier 1 and 2 masks, because it's much cheaper and easier. For the divine masks, I just spam run the tier 1 technical dungeons. They appear in there usually 1 or 2 per run, they drop chance isn't great but isn't horrible, but the dungeons themselves are way way way better for exp and a lot faster than expert mask. For divine onyx, run twilight woods.

Just did the 3rd dark one for the first time and saw first dark mask and it dropped, so good shit, thanks=) Yomi is now 6* Tsuku Yomi. Not sure why puzzledragonx has it as one word. Probably still not gonna use her as a main much, but at least I can say I evolved something to max *'s. No GD way I'll ever max her skill since every feeder is a 5*, 6*, or 7* god.

I doubt he would help on the mask dungeon (unless you're talking about adept). They hit so hard I stick with either a resolve/shiva or healer/odin. It seems risky with anything other than those.

Not having an Odin / Amat seems really limiting. I've built some really good valk teams, fire team, light and dark teams, but it seems like Amat + 50% or Amat + Odin is pretty much the way to do any of the more difficult content.

He won't touch the masks that are 50k+ armor. The little dragons aren't a problem since babies only have 5k? and momma is 15k. The king sits at 50k.

If you guys are having problems with the expert masks and the friday runs grab a few allies who have shiva. Take a healer as your leader or hell whatever you want. The rest of your team should all be the same color and/or have any poison casters you might own. Spend the first round stall matching. Match all the garbage gems that will not do damage. I try to stick to the top of the board so I can lessen the risk of cascading combos. You do not want to kill the little shit mythlits or masks etc. Get shiva charged up and stack gems on the bottom. Once your skills are charged up save them and proceed to clear the trash with easy matches from the top of the board. You don't want to burn your stored gems at the bottom. When you get to a round with a divine mask or dub etc pop shiva. Depending on the amount of mobs just match enough to hit them all. If you hit anything it will die so make sure to sweep. If you are able to 1 hit clear the enemies the skill does not fade. Repeat on the next stages. If you have any poison mobs with you they are your safety net in case you fail to sweep clear and lose the shiva buff. The poison mobs can sweep a board with 1 match per skill use.

TL;DR - for wed/fri expert take a shiva ally - charge to full on round 1 - sweep clear to victory

I used my Siren as my main leader with ally Odin to clear through all the tech levels and get to the last level, Zeus, in normal mode.

I rolled an Ama the other week after I had finished most of the basic game haul. I still powered her up to max now and leave her up most days for everyone else because they are a great help to folks.

Auto Healing just gives you a big room for error - other thing on Sorrows Mask advice - the rippers nuke is AE so once you shiva if you have enough rippers you can wave clear how ever many in a row including the last. My 4*'s worked fine, I think the 3*'s might work if general team health and stats is enough to stall out on map one.

Almost max skill with Echidna...I need to farm some more naga.

Sorry if the answer was buried - but should I bother keeping a Freyr / Ifrit starting lineup or slit my wrists trying to find an Ama/Odin/flavor of the game god?

If you haven't played the game yet I think Freyr would be a fun starter.

3*/4* recharge time is too long for my use. 15 turns is magic.

I use 4 Lil' Black Dragons since they don't do much damage (so I don't have to worry about accidental cascades as much). They have a 10 round timer, so they are charged well before Shiva is. Once shiva is charged, I mop up the first round, hit Shiva on the second and then hit lil' black 4 times in a row. With StE and Shiva, I typically have more than enough HP to survive the first round if it isn't 2 masks on the same timer (and if it is, I just burn one mask down...they take 7 rounds to hit minimum anyway).

That is pretty slick and I might steal it. I usually just use 2 or 3 neptunes, but I like the elegance of that approach.

Go grab a bunch of red and blue ones now from expert modes of the no heal zone?

K, but when I play these, I typically am in for the long haul - I realize friending an Odin / etc fills in the "hole" in my lineup for not having a super god, haven't found any amaterasu's yet - but I did pull a Ceres / Succ from my first ever roll that I saved.
Will I be gimping myself long term?
Freyr hits hard, but is she going to be with me for the rest of the game or eventually replaced?

If I could take a time machine back to when I read about this game I would have rerolled until I got a green odin or a 6* ama.

But I settled for a 4* Valk and had a blast anyway. I then spent some cash to get the drops I wanted once I knew I was invested in for the next few months.
