Thanks again.

Mm I just wanted a rough poison team by.. friday or whenever the mask dungeon comes so I can get the higher level blue mask. I think that's the last thing I need to evolve Siren. Iono when all those other things will come to NA.

Not to mention, it's not bad exp and the monster drops are okay exp fodder as well. :P

Porins are really nice for exp, i've had 1 but he gave me 15k exp

In any case, it is a pretty good placeholder for early accounts due to its low cost and high damage.

i ffffing lol'd

[Riolu]

Grinding for evo material is fking annoying.


And after posting i got the little shit i've been grinding for all day.

You don't really need a poison team for that.

[buta]

Iono, I ran out of dark orbs the last time I tried and just got 1-hit (i THINK these are the guys who did 9k damage to me that one time...). I figured a poison team would make it easier. Are there other better strategies?

[Giddypinata]

Do Rank Up's grant the same bonuses every time, or are they randomly granted between Friendship, stamina, team cost points, etc?

Also, does Naga refer to Siren's prevolved form?

Yes.

And nope, Mermaid is.

[Giddypinata]

Oh, what's Naga look like then? Also, What the hams do i need to evolve my dark magic swordsman?
Oh yeah, how long did it take you guys to get a Mermaid/siren? ive been grinding mermaids feast ~10-15 times a day for a few days now, with absolutely no luck. It sucks.

[Role]

I love my luck, even in this game it hates me. Soo as a good grinder, I wanted to get a good start. Since Thursday, I've been resetting trying to get something good and today I finally got an Indian Grass. I've gotten Thor once and multiple Japanese gods and every other thing except for level 3 Magic Swordsman(saved the Thor account but didn't want to start with it because it was a light monster and I really don't wanna spend if I don't have to). QQ Time to be bad.

I'm half sure Naga is a fire monster.
Yep it is.


And I have no clue what monster number dark magic swordsman is. But if you're talking about this guy, what you need is on this page: http://zh.pad.wikia.com/wiki/%E9%97%...89%A3%E5%A3%AB

For my NA account, took 3 days of using all of my stamina to get a Siren, though I was doing Sea Cave Mercury for it. I'm not sure if Mermaids Feast is faster.

On my JP account, it took like... 1 day.

I cannot understand the survey

Yes Naga is a fire monster

[Giddypinata]

That gal? Alright, thanks. Yeah, I've been alternating spending my stamina on the volcano and darkness levels to get succubus/mermaid, and no luck so far. Thanks for the jap site though, it's turning out to be an excellent resource!
PS, I just upgraded my dark slime for the hell of it, and to my surprise, I found its skill is Recovery to Offense! That's pretty nice, especially for such a derp monster. Added to my dark team, especially until something better comes along.

There are basically 3 ways of doing masks and double spirits.



Poison Team
Need at least 2 poison members to clear stage 4 and 5. Leaders should be a monster with sturdy and a healer. Basically make sure your poison skill is ready by the 4th stage. If you have 4 poison, just get your skills up at stage one and breeze through the rest.

Best setup is green orge and 4x lvl2 FF flowers (with a healer), because they basically incorporate strat 3 into this strat, making it a sure-fire way to clear the stage.



Variants include sturdy with Bahamuts, but yeah. It's not like you get those things easily.

Pros:
Simplest and brainless. No skill required.

Cons:
Poison monsters are a pain to gather without Taiko/FF/Porin dungeons.
May find yourself in trouble should Rainbow Mask choose to show up on the very first turn if you do not have a good healer.



Defense to zero team
Basically, you need a monster which has the skill "lower the defense of all opponents to zero for a single turn". Can be your friend's leader, it does not matter.



And that usually means Shiva.

Now how does that work? tl;dr mechanics time. In short, all debuffs which applies to the opponent monsters for a limited amount of turns will not tick down if they do not attack. Aka, if you kill them before they can attack, the debuff will carry over to the next set of monster. This works with the said skill of the strat and defense breaks.

So all you need to do is to get the skill up by turn one, activate it when you need it and make sure you clear all monsters within a single turn.

Pros:
Requires only a single monster to work.

Cons:
Hard to get said monster.
Have to make sure you have attacking gems for all the remaining turns, or else you are screwed.
May find yourself in trouble should Rainbow Mask choose to show up on the very first turn if you do not have a good healer.



Basic Sturdy + mono-color team
The easiest team to set up.



Just get a mono-color team with a sturdy leader. Push your team's HP to as low as you can so it is easier to get a healer that fits the job. The guy did it with those spirits to prove that you do not need poison monsters, Shiva or strong monster to clear the stage.

Basically, store your gems every stage and make sure you have enough to do AOE + a round or two of attacks before you proceed to the next stage. Always take out masks that will attack on the same turn till there is only 1 or 2 masks left that attack on different turns. Then store gems, rinse and repeat.


You can arrange your gems like the way this guy does.

So......
1.) Make sure no 2 masks attack on the same turn. If they do, kill one of them.
2.) Store your gems and position them such that you have enough to do AOE + about 2 attacks for the next stage.
3.) Kill the remaining mask, proceed to next stage.

If you have gem converters, it will be easier you. However, their HP will usually put a larger strain on your healer, so plan accordingly.

Pros:
Easiest team to assemble.
Gives not a single damn about Rainbow mask appearing on the first turn.

Cons:
Need to use your brains.

On the other hand, Breakers dungeon should be out in Japan for 2 days starting tomorrow, and I have exams on both day. Thanks a lot. In any case, the dungeons are for the Light and Dark golems.

Also, the ultimate-evolved fire starter.


And another tip. For those who can't navigate through the Chinese wiki, bookmark this page:

You can hover your mouse over to see what number the monsters are and etc.

At least post what monsters you have and what kind of problems you are encountering? Otherwise it's kinda hard to give you tip and advice.

[buta]

Yeah, I'm trying for a 4 poison team. I have 2 so far which should be enough, but I like covered bases. :P

Also gotta get me some Keeper of Darks today. Not sure about rainbow since my Siren is still in the works.
