For the Dark one, usually Dark/Wood to be put into a mixed Dragon team featuring Dark and Wood Dragons.

As for the Fire one...honestly, I'd say just leave it be, and wait for the day Isis or Horus are available in EN, and if you happen to roll it, you then decide its sub element depending on what element you're missing in Isis/Horus team.

Wait for Heaven's Gift dungeon. It was released twice in JP already, and will probably be released again during any major milestones or something. Since the JP version can only be done once, you'll have to enter and exit the dungeons repeatedly.

You can use Rainbow Crystals if you're really desperate, but I really dislike using resolve teams to clear Hera now. Too much luck involve, and stamina is a precious resource with I prefer not to waste. I'll rather grind technical for water penguins and etc to raise the levels of the Sirens and dark resist dragons quickly than to waste it on trying for Hera.

also i rolled a water elf today despite it being grass week

Welcome to the dark side. Should you need any monsters from my monster box, just put up a request or something.

In any case, the elves are okay as long as you're not getting multiple copies of them. I'm actually leveling them up on my Valk account (esp the dark Thanatos) to support my main account. 2.5x HP paired up with a Norse god or ultimate-evolved starter will make it similar to a 2.25x Indian gods team. And I do have a water starter waiting to be evolved to the ultimate version which you can use if you want to (just need those rainbow masks damn it).

Go dark/grass. Fire...... leave it alone for now, just like what Blizt has suggested.

Only when the x2 King Metal Dragon appearance event is up, and I still farm the technical dungeons a lot if I needed to raise the 3 colors monster.

Only do the dark metal dungeons when it's x2, and don't bother spending stones to restore stamina for them unless you can level up from it.

For the 3 element metal dragons, just farm them when they are available. You can use them for penguins anyway.

It was only a matter of time i guess. I usually run dual bastet since it's got raw power. Your amaterasu usually carries me through the harder dungeons though.

When's a light sky/legendary/mech coming up on JP btw? With my Venus as leader and your ama i could easily spam expert runs to raise my rank/team cost i so desperately need raised.

Feb's dark and fire mech, so light will probably come around march.

I just noticed that if i could get a vampire on JP i'd have a complete dark team.


Weekend dungeons are awesome for using Anubis~

I managed to hit 577k with using Anubis/Bastet.

[Tetra]

then you should bring your anubis to the water dragon dungeon and try your luck there

so i picked up my first ever sky dragon, but with my team cost capped at 90, most of these aren't even very practical fit,, since they all cost like 50 or even 60 i'd rather spend my stam leveling up my stock

Riolu: can i borrow your anubis and give it a try as well? i usually put up a horus, if u like to keep me on your list

I honestly felt sky dragons are not that worth it.

Takes too long to be useful, and even then I'll prefer the huge HP boost from the mech dragons.

[Blizt]

Geez...I wanted to farm the Water Goblin to train my Siren's skill for the upcoming Dark Mech dragon, but game hates me so much that after spending at least 4 bars of stamina, I got less than 20 of them =_=

And just now, I even got a 2nd Siren, I really dunno what to say...

EDIT:

Wow...to think that the Mystic Beast now actually shows up in the Mech Dragon dungeon too!

Quite a number of people have posted proof:


This is just awesome, now I don't have to wait for Dark Sky Dragon to re-open ^_^

Okay, so, last week I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked the screen. The silver lining to this story, though, is that I now know how to safely transfer PAD saves between two separate Android devices of the same model.

Here's what to do if you have to replace your device for damage:

***YOUR REPLACEMENT DEVICE MUST BE THE SAME MODEL AS YOUR INITIAL DEVICE! IF YOU TRY THIS WITH A DIFFERENT DEVICE, YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!***

1. Root both of your devices and flash a custom recovery (not custom ROM, which is something completely different). I personally use and recommend TWRP
2. On your original device (Phone A), boot into recovery and create a NANDroid backup and reboot
3. Copy the backup from step 2 to your PC (if you're using TWRP, go to ...\Android\ and copy the whole TWRP folder)
4. On your new device (Phone B), boot into recovery and create a NANDroid backup. The reason for this for your recovery to create the necessary folder structure for backups
5. Connect Phone B to your PC and navigate to ...\Android\TWRP\Backups
6. Open another window and navigate to your backup from Phone A, then go to ...\TWRP\Backups
7. You will see that there are two serial numbers; navigate one level deeper in each of the windows from steps 5 and 6
8. Copy the latest backup from Phone A to Phone B
9. Reboot Phone B into recovery
10. Restore the backup that you just copied

After that, Phone B should be running a mirrored image of Phone A, so you can do whatever you need to do with Phone A. In my case, what I needed to do was unroot and relock the bootloader and then return it to Verizon.

that's gonna come in handy, thanks septimus

Or you can use Titanium backup on a rooted android phone to begin with.

You could, but Titanium Backup only backs up your apps and user settings. It's pretty risky to use it to restore system data. But you're right; if all you're after is your PAD save, that's the way to go.

NANDroid would restore the whole phone to be exactly as it was, sans whatever is on your external storage media.

EDIT: What I'm mostly doing here is posting about known backup/restore options of Android and how PAD reacts to them after I try them.

After the torturous Gunma paradise dungeon, hell Dark Mech is no where as painful.

Took me just 1 hour to do it. No Cerberus though. Not sure if I want to keep grinding this dungeon, since my aim was only 2 Dark Mechs. But now with the spawning of Cerberus......

But Hera first for skill leveling.

[SeptimusPrime]

Looks like Zeus will be hitting the US servers today.

Ice Hera

Deals 2.5x for dark monsters. Wow.

I really see no point in going Heaven Neptune now.

Ice Hera + Abyss Neptune + Yomi/Hera/Hades + Vamp Lord + Dark Swordsman + Ice Hera = sex.

Also, her #596 ID means there's at least 57 new monsters coming soon in the upcoming updates. Huge.



On a side note, this is the best Hera run I've ever done.

So I have been using this thread as my go-to-guide. I spent most of the weekend rerolling and ended up with this start:

Dragon Knight (lvl 30 with +ATK), Ancient Dragon Knight (lvl 30), and then rolled a Lil Red Dragon from the PAL roll.

What should I do with the DK since I ended up getting the ADK on my next roll?

Also.. should I focus on leveling up my Lil Red Dragon or starter red dragon first?
