[Team Building] Mono-Green Team Appreciation Thread

man I walsy have been super low on light, green and blue but stacked on dark. seems everyone is the same because trading darks is way harder imo.

 

Evo a couple equips and you too will be at 0 jewels too. Same for some modern Awokens, MP Drags, or Ney/Cotton.

 

I've been rolling along with Zela lately, occasionally her damage is just abysmal even though i hit 7c well above 50% hp, and i don't really understand why.

Other than those times, it's a complete blowout. Anyone else have her, and what are you running for her team? I'm debating what to continue to use on her team.

 

I do not like her as a leader. Vraska is way easier to play. When you clear (nearly) the whole board you will have 3g3d most of the time. Having 6 - 9 greens is hard without actives.
My fav green leader is still Kaede. And Zela is used as a sub when I need 200.000.000 - 340.000.000 damage or at least anti lock orb.

By the way. What means abysmal?

 

Abysmal is "really low"/"bad" in this context, and by that i mean sometimes less than 500k on main hits. I think it's just those times i barely manage 7 combo with only a single dirty little 3 green orb match.

And i myself, don't have a kaede or a vraska, so...

 

Ooh, congrats on beating Mowa! I tried several times but always died. Never made it to the boss actually. The most frustrating loss was vs Bigfoot, just one floor away from at least facing the boss. I miss pdx!

I don't use DAthena too often right now but I'd definitely have evolved her given the choice. I'm sure Mowa will be back someday though.

 

I just looked at the individual bosses dungeons to get the “vibe” of what kind of mechanics certain floors through at me. I mean, Sphinx or Mjendra usually switch leaders, Bigfoot trades shield for damage as fight progresses, Mowa did a lot of clouds or whatever, Zhubei (or whatever that dragon dude is) always has next to no HP but has resolve, Ilsix always has a really low resolve percent etc etc. I might miss exact thresholds or how hard individual hits are but you get the general idea of what you’re facing.

 

I always liked the idea of inflating hp to draw out the fight, but it's counter-intuitive to the fun if that just means the rage-hit area is bigger.

I kindof like the idea of a battle of attrition in RPGs, but it's just not feasible in PAD because the bosses don't have an MP bar to wear down, and they don't really so much have a rotation to take advantage of usually. The only ways PAD can even stall a fight is by dropping some ridiculous 99% damage reduction and requiring you to do something asinine to waste your turn.

It's one of the few gripes i have with PAD. That and no stamina refill consumable outside of gacha currency. (and no, i don't count "EXP of a lifetime", especially when i'm hundreds of ranks lower than some of the people i met on here due to my haitus and the thing already hasn'tt actually given me a full rank up with double ganesha in many many ranks...)

I hadn't even walked into the one-shot simply due to not paying it attention and then suddenly being distracted by other highly important farmy dungeons that just showed up recently.

I won't be evolving my Dath, but eh, i barely use her for farming anymore, and well, Kamimusubi kindof took that spot anyway.

Suffice it to say, the game is still very entertaining, and there's not many games i go on haitus from and then come back just as strongly as i left, but I never approved of the path the game went with it's setup even as far back as resolves and rage-hits being a thing when i even started.

 

@Orange Crush , that's a good approach. With Mowa I did run into issues with not knowing when it was safe to take hits on lesser floors, so I overused actives (or conversely died in dumb places.) Bigfoot was annoying because I did know his attack cycle and should have had that floor but jumped the gun just a little! Of course if I'd made it past him I might still have died vs Mowa *shrug*

@RajaNagaSoz , in theory I don't mind the mechanics! In practice I'm not keeping up with the game but that's okay.

Fio remains awesome, I'm glad her day in the sun is a nice long lazy Saturday.

 

[QUOTE="Niteblooded, post: 1582771, member: 1249" Then the game likes to do hey, this boss has 330M HP but absorbs hits over 5M and oh btw you have 3 turns before he hits you for 500 Quadrillion. I totally didn't hyperbole those numbers up btw, actual numbers I just forget the dungeon names. [/QUOTE]


Yeah that's why i say the game isn't setup in a way to make a large hp pool boss to actually be fun. If you're going to minimum-combo me and damage-cap me, it's already zero fun, but then we thrown in bee orbs that sting you if you get near them, and petrified orbs that don't move, then pitfall orbs that make you drop the orb if you touch them, a rage hit at any odd numbered hp%, and an hp number that isn't scientifically quantifiable...

Oh wait, the hyperbole needs to calm down...

For real though, inflated hp isn't fun when it's ONLY there to make you "Eat this mechanic! Do it! You have to!"

 

I pulled two Zela in SGF. Does anybody still lead with her? Is she viable for anything?

 

I have her up, she's fun, but i don't generally take her into anything real-deal because i'm still not used to the orb hunger. the damage is nutty though.

 

Not unlike Amatsu. I pretty much have dual R.Sarasvati as the engine that makes the team work.

 

Heh, i guess i could slap a few vishnu on Zela-team, but that's eating a lot of utility space just to tease the RNG to give enough orbs.

 

Halloween Parvati is pretty cute

 

Don't remind me, Parv was one of my favorite and best leads for a long time, AND i have a thing for catgirls, and i've gotten NONE out of the halloween REM ever.

She's not even useful or a high rarity! Why game?! Why do you hurt me so?!

 

If you haven't run the 6th anniversary EXP gift...

Well, let this say everything...



Double Saline.
