The Trials, Travails, and Triumphs of Tek, a sometimes average $99.45 total IAP PAD player

Okay, here's a WIP team build for AA4:



Note that I'd likely change the latents on LMenoa, Reeche, Kanna, and friend VIdeal (which is on my alt). I'd also change the equip on friend VIdeal.

 

SDR FARMING YAY



Build based on Xolse's reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleAndDragons/comments/la2hmf/2_ping_sdr_farm/

 

Purchased the New Year (REM + 1 stone) $0.99 bundle and the Red Envelope (5 stones + Super Snow Globe) $0.99 bundle 2/8/21

Total IAP as of 2/8/21: $99.45 USD

Thread title updated.

 

I farmed 141 SDRs on my main and 138 on my alt during the event.

 

Posting my AA3 ScheDra event farm team for future reference:



NOTES

If my math is correct, replacing OdinDra with Faygoran on Team A would allow you to lead swap turn 1. (I just haven't brought myself to evolve one of only two Sloth Eggs on my main to Faygoran when the Revo is irreversible and the equip is so very good.)

If you're using a lead swap setup, make certain to clear F6 and F17 with the team that performed the lead swap as DAgni can spawn on F7 and Rokks can spawn on F18.

Replacing DRaizer assist with umbrella equip on SR Bastet would solve the problem of her being bindable in co-op. But I don't have umbrella equip. :'(

 

And here's my co-op QilinDra farming build!

 

And here's another invade dragon farming build, this time for solo play!



Pop Sloth Egg assist on Usui (to dump the active and ensure that Usui's active is available in case Fuma spawns on F4), transform Polowne, pop Weld assist on Suou for 1-turn delay, stall 1-2 turns, transform both Seinas, and sail along.

 

And here's the closest equivalent I could build on my alt:



Dump Sloth Egg active, transform Duval, transform Polowne, stall, transform both Seinas, and MELT EVERYTHING WITH RED + BLUE MATCHES.

Both teams are very reliable!

 

SEVEN consecutive AA2 clears on my alt and no QilinDra invades.

/sigh

 

Finally got a Qilin Dragon invade on clear #8. I'm done with invade dragon farming for now.

Here's my list of NY Artemis trade fodder:

Main

5 Blodin
2 Rodin
4 DMeta
2 DKali
3 Skuld
7 Scheat
5 Eschamali
1 Baldin
3 Fenrir Viz
1 Dantalion
2 Paimon
3 Gremory
3 Aten
1 Ney
2 Kamimusubi
1 Macha
2 Morrigu


Alt

3 Blodin
3 Rodin
2 DMeta
6 DKali
5 Skuld
2 Scheat
4 Eschamali
2 Baldin
4 Fenrir Viz
1 Dantalion
3 Paimon
3 Gremory
3 Aten
1 GNey
1 Kamimusubi
1 Macha
3 Morrigu

 

Okay, for my main, I'm thinking:

2 Scheat
1 Blodin
1 Eschamali

And for my alt, I'm thinking:

1 DKali
2 Skuld
1 Eschamali

My only concern is that GungHo will introduce equip evos for 6* GFEs in the future. It's not hard to imagine that a Scheat equip would be geared toward TPA teams and a DKali equip would be geared toward rainbow teams.

 

THE DEED IS DONE

The exchange has been made.

 

After agonizing over the decision, I finally chose the PAD Appreciation 2019 (Fagan Rai/Zaerog Core) medal on both of my NA accounts.

It was between that and the Spring Fest Medal (Zeal/Echidna/Hera) to get both Luna as a sub and Luna for her equip.

 

Putting some notes together to help decide which 6* GFEs to pick up with the medals we get this month.
