I was still chasing Julie with my non-iap stones. During this time, there was also the Gacha Dora Community Challenge so there were more free rolls to claim as the players managed to hit all 3 targets. Most of the cards also receive buffs and Momiji is good now with the follow-up damage awakening and Mel has been used as an assist a lot to enable that awakening easily. I definitely hope to roll them.<br />
<br />
Here are my Heroine rolls with saved non-iap stones and the Gacha Dora community challenge 3 Heroine REM rolls mixed in:<br />
<br />
Sheena (2nd copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Kuvia (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
Kuvia (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
Momiji (1st copy)<br />
<br />
Mito (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
<b>Elgenubi (1st copy!)</b><br />
<br />
Momiji (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
<b>Romia (1st copy!)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
My perseverance kinda paid off as I kept using whatever stones I have on the REM. Elgenubi is a strong addition to any red team while Romia is also used a lot in green teams and Anubis teams. As for the duplicates, Sheena and Momiji are mostly useful as they are board changers. Kuvia and Mito are debatable for keeping because it would seem like 2 will be enough. I've been spending a bit more on box spaces so I will most likely hold on to them first.<br />
<br />
Gacha Dora community challenge normal REM rolls:<br />
<br />
Rozuel (1st copy)<br />
I'll be evolving to the red/red version, mainly because of the 7 combo awakening.<br />
<br />
Avalon Drake (3rd copy but I sold the first 2!)<br />
I sold my first 2 before they had the evolution that made them much more attractive. Now I'm definitely keeping this copy. It is useful for green teams and speed run teams like awoken/revo Liu Bei.<br />
<br />
Ars Nova (2nd copy)<br />
My first copy was evolved into that latest light/red evolution which made it into a speed farm lead and I have not used it at all. I'll keep this as the active can be useful for the match 5 with an enhance orb leaders and she is also a good sub for her own team.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-51060570064585641802017-06-23T17:53:00.001+08:002017-06-23T17:53:44.554+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Monster Hunter Collab MP cards purchaseThe Monster Hunter Collab provided the biggest lineup of MP cards for buying so far and I thought it is worth having a separate blog post on it. Although it is only 2 MP cards in the store: the male and female hunter, they have 3 evolutions each, thus if you want more than 1, you will need to buy multiple. Japan did gave a male and female hunter free which you earn from the mail and completing the highest difficulty dungeon with 3 subs respectively.<br />
<br />
I think most of the MP cards are better than the REM rolls I had and so it seems like the monsters I rolled were traded in for the MP Hunters instead which mirrors the game in some sense: the Monster Hunter game was about hunting monsters to get their parts to make weapons and armor. More information about the MP Hunter evolutions at PuzzleDragonX: <a href="http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=663">http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=663</a><br />
<br />
Rathalos X Armor Male: Didn't evolve<br />
<a name='more'></a>Seem like a easy farm lead but requires a team full of Monster Hunter Collab cards. If you get multiple red cards from the REM collab, you might consider him but even so, I hardly see him being used nowadays.<br />
<br />
Tamamitsune X Armor Male: Evolved a copy<br />
Probably one of the best co-op card you can get at the moment. He is definitely worth getting if you don't have any co-op leader at the moment. You can even use him in the new 3-player co-op and gain the benefits.<br />
<br />
Being combo-based also mean you can fill his team with colors other than blue. You can easily use revo Kushinadahime's template of revo Hakus and co. and work with that. (I also didn't keep my "army" of Mizutsune as a sub for him)<br />
<br />
I used him whenever there are exclusive 3-player co-op dungeons even till now and there has been quite a few of such dungeons with collabs. Monster Hunter Collab has one too.<br />
<br />
Massacre X Armor Male: Evolved a copy<br />
Made 1 after I saw Reco reach the damage cap pairing this with Diablos. On hindsight, I can probably achieve something similar with Rathian but using crosses of 2 different colors is easier and Massacre's damage possibility is definitely higher. I think he is definitely useful if you do not have Red/light Kenshin against those dungeons with bosses that have really high HP like that challenge dungeon lvl 11 with King of Hell, Satan. Reco's videos: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CiGSmallFs/search?query=ouma">https://www.youtube.com/user/CiGSmallFs/search?query=ouma</a><br />
<br />
Kirin X Armor Female: Didn't evolve<br />
A lot of people like her for the art. The leaderskill has a similar problem to Rathalos armor. The active is inheritable though and can be useful for combo leaders like Anubis. (I've seen Reco use a similar active in the Mech Goemon dungeon: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqqjIriFW-Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqqjIriFW-Q</a>) I might consider getting another female MP card to evolve into one just for that.<br />
<br />
Narga X Armor Female: Evolved a copy<br />
Another highly rated card other than Tamamitsune Armor for co-op dungones. She is a little similar to Yomi Dragon but for co-op. The interesting thing is that since Tamamitsune already covered me for co-op dungeon tackling, I hardly use her at all.<br />
<br />
Dino X Armor Female: Didn't evolve<br />
She is close to a red version of awoken Astaroth with higher multipler. She does not have co-op bonuses but can be seen in usage similar to Awoken Cao Cao and Bleach Yamamoto 2 player speed clears of dungeons. She's definitely worth purchasing if you can form her team.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-89793500671742922262017-06-23T17:11:00.000+08:002017-06-23T17:21:03.597+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Monster Hunter Collab rollsBack with my approximately-monthly updates for Puzzle and Dragons and it begins with the Monster Hunter Collaboration! There was a chibi gacha before that but with the news of Monster Hunter collab and its 10 stone per roll gacha, I started saving up my non-iap stones for it. I have been a big monster hunter fan owning most of the series in PSP and on 3DS. This collab debut the 4-second movement leaderskill and the follow-up damage awakening. I am not a fan of most of the monsters in particular but wanted to get any of the new cards with those 2 mechanic. The other interesting thing about this collab cards are that they gain a lot of stats in general making them all good stat sticks for your teams. Card details can be found over at PuzzleDragonX: <u>http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/news.asp?nid=663</u><br />
<br />
Rank 50 Free roll: Astalos<br />
<a name='more'></a>I have the FF Time Mage for a light delay so this new addition to my box isn't particularly useful. In a later stream, it got buffed with an additional TPA. The leaderskill is just like RGB Greco-Roman God series but only covers light and dark and I don't intend to use it as a leader anyway. I doubt you will find much people leading with it too.<br />
<br />
Roll #1: Rathian<br />
A green super poison and 2 turn delay makes her a great utility sub although I have never seen her being used so far. The later buff was an additional skill boost awakening. She is actually pair-able with Diablos.<br />
<br />
Roll #2: Mizutsune<br />
The active is pretty useless as I don't see the point of using it to shore up teams with only HP multiplier. Increase skyfall chances of rcv or any orbs is not useful by itself. This is probably the worst 6* diamond egg from the collab rem.<br />
<br />
Roll #3: Astalos<br />
Can't see much use for another Astalos. I am definitely keeping one in case the evolution it gets later make it better. It is good that the collab's minimum MP return is 15000.<br />
<br />
Roll #4: Mizutsune<br />
Can't see any use at all for another copy.<br />
<br />
Roll #5: Rathian<br />
Similar to Astalos, I don't see myself need more than 1 of her.<br />
<br />
Roll #6: Gammoth<br />
Orb changing actives are definitely more useful. It's buff from stream was quite substantial as well: 3 water rolls. I rather get more copies of this than Mizutsune!<br />
<br />
Roll #7: Mizutsune<br />
Argh. At this point I'm contemplating keeping them all to go with the Tamamitsune X Armor Hunter I bought just for the aesthetic look of it.<br />
<br />
Roll #8: Rathalos<br />
One of more iconic and popular monster of the game. The leaderskill is OK but I don't see myself using it much. I hardly find videos of people using him after the Monster Hunter Collab finishes...<br />
<br />
Roll #9: Rathian<br />
Again, no need for more than 1.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm really unlucky with this collab. It's been around 1-1.5 months in and I hardly use any of them at all. If you check around the videos now, you'll mostly find Glavenus and Amatsumagatsuchi used as sub for their follow-up attack awakening and high stats and also Diablos as a leader pairing. Fortunately, you do not have to roll Diablos but can instead rely on friends for it. Diablos pair with many different leaders very well, especially revo Anubis. The Diablos' active does gravity and I've seen some videos using its skillup card so it might be worth keeping one copy from the dungeon drop.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-70319972424635173282017-06-23T16:19:00.000+08:002017-06-23T16:19:58.460+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Godfest (04/14/2017~04/16/2017) roll (Update)5x rates featuring Sengoku 2.0 series. I don't find the new cards interesting at all so only 1 roll on day 2 where Dark Kali is featured... Update: The Sengoku 2.0 series did find their way into quite a lot of teams, mainly the green and dark ones are used a lot as subs while the light/blue one is a powerful leader paring with revo Sakuya.<br />
<br />
Light Metatron (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
Sold.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-79034707346429063812017-06-23T16:17:00.000+08:002017-06-23T16:17:42.857+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Rurouni Kenshin Collab (2nd) roll (Update)Rank 50 free roll: Makimachi Misao<br />
<br />
I'm going to level her up before selling to fill up the monster book entry. Update: I already sold her but discovered much later that she can be used in red teams due to her killer awakenings like for Awoken Cao Cao! Definitely worth keeping if you roll one! (Sources: <a href="https://xn--0ck4aw2h.gamewith.jp/article/show/34112">https://パズドラ.gamewith.jp/article/show/34112</a>, <a href="https://game8.jp/archives/155165">https://game8.jp/archives/155165</a>)<br />
<br />
<br />
Saito was my roll the first time around. His split UEVO is definitely more powerful than the first one as it is no longer reliant on actives while still maintaining a high damage output. His new UEVO pairs well with Awoken Ichigo and Kaioh (Fist of North Star), I'm just unable to find friend leaders easily from refreshing the stranger lists so I'll have to go to pazudora-friend.com if I'm really interested in using Saito this way.<br />
<br />
I've also seen the newest <strike>gold</strike> diamond egg, Seijuro Hiko, Kenshin's master, to be used a lot as an inherit for combo leaders like Anubis, with the damage absorb avoid and the +1 combo count. His skill up card probably can be used how Fujin's skillup card is used but I forgot to farm up 1 to keep...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-71986336251830391832017-04-16T16:24:00.000+08:002017-04-16T16:24:07.184+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My PAD Academy 2017 rollNothing particularly interesting even with new card introduction so it's great that we have a free roll and I don't have to spend any saved stones on this.<br />
<br />
Rank 50 free roll: PAD Academy Cinderalla (1st copy)<br />
<br />
The art is quite nice but I'm still going to sell her. I've only seen the Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty versions being used in red and dark heart teams, Xiang Mei and Xin Hua/Ana-Typhon respectively. Light Miru's team doesn't have any space for her and there are enough light unbinders. The nuke is only single target so it's not too useful.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-75648353436145990712017-04-16T16:08:00.000+08:002017-04-16T16:12:40.954+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Godfest (03/31/2017~04/02/2017) rollsThis was the one where they introduced the new 6* GFE, Amenominakanushi. Basically a light version of Aizen with the power spike from rows instead of crosses. The rates were 5x and it was nothing but GFE although I believed the carnival might have featured <strike>some pantheons</strike> (it was the new enhance dragons and weapon series 2) as well. I rolled on the second day hoping a Dark Kali as usual<br />
<br />
Spica (1st copy)<br />
<br />
When she first came out, I wanted her for the artwork as she's probably the happiest looking card in PAD in her evolved form. Her split UEVO looked different though and unfortunately I had to evo her to the Green/Blue sub version to be more useful. I see this version in green teams once in a while to cover 2 skill bind resists.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-3108734697777619592017-04-15T23:13:00.000+08:002017-04-16T16:26:38.978+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Weekly Shonen Magazine Collab rolls (Updated)Lots of hype over Meliodas but while definitely powerful, I think that 3 specific orb requirement makes it not as reliable as other top leaders who can get through most of the Arena floors without using any actives. I don't think he will be as powerful as Aizen. Most, if not all of the diamond eggs in this collab are good leaders with interesting leader skills so I spend a lot of my saved stones in this one...<br />
<br />
Rank 50 free roll: Maiko<br />
<br />
Her awakenings are overall very good with those dark resist awakenings along with skill boost and skill bind resist. I've seen teams use 4 Halloween Sopdet-s or 4 Wedding Sopdet-s and 4 Maiko-s fit that kind of team composition too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next I choose to roll on Meliodas rate up days...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Pai/3x3 Eyes!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I've heard of this series so it was kind of familiar. Her leader skill makes her basically a green version of Sesshomaru with the damage spike coming from combos as she has 2 7-combo awakenings instead of Sesshomaru's two-prongs and rows. I find her really strong even though she isn't featured in Game8 and GameWith's tier lists, being unbindable with an active that aids her leader skill. She can also be used as a sub on Kaede's team and vice-versa. The lack of skill bind resists is easily covered by Vishnu or Ruel. My green box is quite viable now with her addition! <b>Update</b>: She's pretty hard to find friend leaders from the 3 stranger friends, even after I refresh a few times...<br />
<br />
Maiko (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
2 more copies and I can make a team with 4 Maiko for dark resists!<br />
<br />
Yakumo<br />
<br />
An active that is like Xmas Castor & Pollux or NY Spica which will be great for a card that requires blue and green orbs to activate their leader skills. Off-type for Awoken Amon but OK for PAD Academy Acala. The only problem is he does not come with skill bind resists.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth<br />
<br />
I rolled during Meliodas rate up days and didn't get him so I decided to roll on other rate up days. This being 3x3 Eyes'. Elizabeth doesn't seem useful at all and I intend to sell her.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
Should be selling her.<br />
<br />
Maiko (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
At this point, I want my next roll to be another Maiko more than a diamond egg!<br />
<br />
Elizabeth (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
Should be selling her<br />
<br />
Syaoran<br />
<br />
Gemstone Princess kind of actives that I think will come in useful.<br />
<br />
Yakumo (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
The active is interesting enough to be worth keeping.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the end, I only manage to get 3x3 Eyes. These collab rate up don't seem to indicate a higher chance of getting that particular card that I think it probably doesn't even matter. (For Final Fantasy Collab, I got Sephiroth on Cloud rate up days). Other notable cards are Erza which can be purchased with MP and Acnologia, the boss drop which has a useful boardchange active that can be inherited. <b>Update</b>: No silvers in this collab and all the gold eggs sell for 5000 MP unlike previous collabs that adjusted gold eggs to 4000 MP. However, the state of MP in the game is uncertain at the moment due to the announcement that MP cards will soon be obtainable outside of the shop and no new MP card series...<br />
<br />
I almost wanted to buy Erza until I realised my leader UEVO Red Odin probably does the same thing as her without the boardchange active and handicap. Acnologia is definitely worth getting multiples of. I think you might not need to level him but I farmed enough for 4 copies with 1 copy able to be maxed skilled with dark king tans; 19 copies. I also managed to farm up the Collab Magazine card that requires the team to be filled with Weekly Shonen Magazine Collab cards. Team if I want to use it is probably going to be Maiko/Maiko/Maiko/3x3 Eyes with skill bind resist badge!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-8706248056845766532017-04-15T22:30:00.000+08:002017-04-15T22:38:57.021+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Gacha Dora Community Challenge (2nd) Reward rollsGold Dragon Rolls: Thumbelina, Misuki, WoodBahn<br />
<br />
Sold them all. Really wished the rolls were confirmed pantheon ones like the previous challenge.... I still have my full skilled Thumbelina that I recently kept but have not inherited her to Miru like I intended. I just hardly use Miru nowadays.<br />
<br />
Green Dragon Rolls: Gainaut, Liberty Geist, Ninegaruda<br />
<br />
Turns out the farmable rolls were better than my gold dragon rolls...<br />
<br />
Heroine Dragon Rolls: Kuvia (2nd copy), Mito (1st copy), Mito (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
All are worth keeping another copy with Reco recently using double Mito to cleaer the new 3 co-op dungeons: <a href="https://twitter.com/Reco_pad/status/851824488597540864">https://twitter.com/Reco_pad/status/851824488597540864</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-64337625201016909732017-04-15T21:53:00.000+08:002017-04-16T15:40:27.767+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan's Girl Gacha roll (Edited)I just wanted Misery for the auto heal shenanigans... 1 roll and I got her!<br />
<br />
<b>Misery!</b> (1st copy)<br />
<br />
I wanted to form a REVO Anubis team like what Reco did here: <a href="https://twitter.com/Reco_pad/status/837885676045508608">https://twitter.com/Reco_pad/status/837885676045508608</a>, just for fun and watch the team heal back up from all the auto-heals. I intend to invest in skilling and +297-ing Misery/Dark Rei Ayanami (so glad I have not sold her!)/<strike>Yuna</strike>/Gunma (<b>Edit</b>: Didn't realise there's not enough Skill Bind Resist so this team wouldn't work!) if I test it out and see if it has enough HP, etc. After you played for a long time, these are the kind of things that can help keep things fresh!<br />

However, I checked minpuzz.com which had a post on the rolls posted on twitter and I saw quite a number of people getting Kaede Another... thus, I did 1 roll.<br />
<br />
<b>Kiriko Another! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<br />
Not Kaede Another but a gold egg from a collab nevertheless... She can be used in my Xiang Mei team and with her newest buff to include dark resist awakenings, I seem to be coming up with some form of dark resist team soon around Light and Red cards: Light Ilmina, Kiriko Another, Mamiya, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have Asmodeus Another from the Collab previously and am glad I kept her till now (I generally keep cards with boardchanger actives) even though there wasn't much use for her as a devil version of Hathor. She's now a great sub for REVO Kushinada as she's healer type with a good boardchanger active and good awakenings like 7-combo!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-81644216772532606242017-04-15T20:42:00.001+08:002017-04-15T20:42:12.044+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Godfest (03/10/2017~03/11/2017) rolls1 roll per day.<br />
<br />
Gremory (4th copy)<br />
<br />
One of the least useful 6* to get multiple dupes of as she does not have haste in her active. I just need 1 more and I can form a team full of Gremory-s...<br />
<br />
Light Metatron (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
I kept her because she is getting a split UEVO soon and although it turns out to be a very good leader skill, there really is no use for another copy; the sub blue version doesn't have useful awakenings so keeping the leader version is good enough. I turned this latest copy to the leader version with the pluses from the Godfest REM and once she is +297 and max skilled/awaken, I will sell the other copy.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-29402807643025514972017-04-15T20:07:00.001+08:002017-04-15T20:10:03.376+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Rank 150/250 Memorial Rolls (reset on around March 2017)<b>Leilan!</b> (1st copy)<br />
<br />
I got her pretty near her REVO announcement. Never used her even though I REVO her and max skilled with pii-s.<br />
<br />
<b>Verdandi!</b> (1st copy)<br />
<br />
Another card that recently got buffed from stream. My green teams are getting more viable, I don't see myself or people in the late game leading with her but she is another good sub for my green teams, especially in Kaede's. Haven't used her yet so far. With her and Leilan, I'm going to need a lot of tamadra-s.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-37377084688213314072017-04-15T15:16:00.003+08:002017-04-15T22:29:09.056+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan GFE-only Gacha (2nd) rollsI didn't know this had a chance of coming back but it did. I still chasing Dark Kali as a general non-IAP player other than the 1-time bargain pack purchases but I'll be realistic; I hope to get the 2 remaining 5* GFE that I do not have - Tsubaki and Ronove. 10-stones per roll<br />
<br />
<b>Fujin! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a>Her active is niche but it solves a relatively annoying boss mechanic. I'm glad I no longer have to store her skill-up cards. She's mostly used as an inherit and I have her on my REVO Kushinada now. Green is my weakest color but I just happen to have all the cleric green actives so far like unlocking orbs and awoken skills unbind.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Kaede!</b> (1st copy)<br />
<b><br /></b>
Her optimal team is really hard to form as I will need more copies of her. I believe I can still make a usable team for her but never got around to yet. She's also one of the best green subs around.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Green Sonia! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<b><br /></b>
I have all RGB Sonias now. She can be used in Zuoh, Anubis, REVO Ceres teams but I haven't require her so she's just sitting in my box.<br />
<br />
Balboa (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
The G/B version is actually still the better leader due to the unbindability but I could change this to the other version for "collection" I guess...<br />
<br />
Sitr (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
Saved up stones for 1 more roll and got her. I used her first copy in Blue Miru's team. Haven't have a use for a second copy but I'm keeping her around as her active is fairly powerful.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-75086752963379657862017-04-15T14:42:00.000+08:002017-04-15T22:29:21.528+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan rank 500, 1-time bargain pack and Gacha Dora Community Challenge Reward rollsCombining all the rolls to this post<br />
<br />
Rank 500 free roll: Silk (1st copy)<br />
<br />
This was newly announced in the anniversary stream and it only had the Legendary Heroes and Gemstone Princesses, which was really generous of Gungho! I really wanted Carat and Facet but got Silk in the end. I think she's the least useful Gemstone Princesses for me but probably still better than getting any of the Legendary Heroes...<br />
<br />
1-time Bargain Pack roll (I always buy before it gets reset!): Hamal (2nd copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a>I used her mostly in my Yomi Dragon team. Her 2 skill bind resists are great for Barbara team as well. I'm looking forward to her split UEVO like Alycone's as I can make each version now.<br />
<br />
<u>Gacha Dora Community Challenge Reward rolls</u><br />
<br />
Green Dragon free roll: Zaerog 8<br />
<br />
Gold Dragon free roll: <b>Diao Chan! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<br />
She's really useful in combo teams like REVO Anubis and Kushinada, especially for Anubis if you have 2 copies of her to provide the loop of skill activation.<br />
<br />
Heroine Dragon free roll: Sheena (2nd copy)<br />
<br />
I mainly see her used as an inherit for Anubis teams that are filled with light and dark cards... A bi-boardchanger, especially one for light and dark, is probably always useful so I'm keeping her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-39880496583108854102017-04-15T14:11:00.003+08:002017-04-16T15:46:43.291+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan PCGF (2/18/2017~2/21/2017) rolls (Edit about buying boxes)Marine Rider (2nd copy?)<br />
<br />
Sold like previous copy. On hindsight, might have been useful to keep as we are getting more bicolor leaders like Awoken Amon who could have used him. The active skill is a lot better than before. I still think it is not a top tier sub because of lower stats.<br />
<br />
Ars Nova (1st copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a>I'm keeping this one as her UEVO was coming being announced soon at that time. I also intend to keep her for her active as it was buffed since the original introduction and is generally more useful. (I also sold Goetia before the buff) Their actives are great for leaders that requires "5 orbs with at least one enhanced orb".<br />
<br />
Unicorn Rider (xth copy)<br />
<br />
Sold like the previous copies.<br />
<br />
PCGF Rank 50 free roll: Red Chester (1st copy)<br />
<br />
He used to be very desirable because of those 3 skill bind resist. I'm keeping him as those might be useful plus he has a lot of awakenings now, although I do already have Beach Chester.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It seems my luck are all with special REMs... After all these disappointing rolls in REM, I actually use some of the free stones for boxes instead and increase my box space from 600~650 to 700. With the increase in space, I could keep a copy of each descended boss drop for future evolution usage. I'm also least likely to sell REM rolls that I do not want immediately and keep more of them, in case they become useful in the future. <b>Edit</b>: I have quite a few teams complete and usable so there is more value in increasing your box space over rolling the REM. I don't necessarily need more cards other than wanting something new or to try out a new leader skill...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-48406199285037924122017-04-15T13:47:00.004+08:002017-04-15T22:30:39.345+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Heroine REM (2nd) rollsAs I have guessed, this returned along with the UEVO announcements for the cards in this series. I really wanted Elgenubi this time around as she is really useful for red teams and I can see myself using her in my Red Odin team...<br />
<br />
<b>Ilmina! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a>My luck seems to have taken a turn since that Bouya roll from Crows X Worst! There was some debate on whether that UEVO is good but personally, I change to that version as I prefer the artwork, especially it looking very symmetrical compared to the red version. It is a formidable pairing with R/L Kenshin although I never got around to finding a friend leader. The red version's 4 skill boosts can be useful but with 1 copy of her, I can only find use in my Red Odin button-nuke team. However, she is not required there as I already have more than enough skill boosts in total.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Meriodionoalis! </b>(1st copy)</div>
<div>
<br />
I wanted her previously but it seem like I don't really need her much. However, I did find a use for her to speed through the Dragon Gacha Community Challenge easily with BSonia/BSonia/Mori/Saravasti. I don't have the PAD Radar Verdor or Bleach's Hitsugaya so I can't form her "button co-op team".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Barbara (2nd copy)</div>
<div>
<br />
I never got around to using her from my previous roll. More copies of her will work well as sub for her own team as her leader skill requirement of machines is hard to form teams with. I've seen her being used as a sub at least twice in Saito's team as well so she's definitely useful.</div>
<div>
<br />
Rank 50 free roll: Barbara (3rd copy)<br />
<br />
I probably have more than enough now but with 3, her team can now consists of her plus Eschamali and Hamal with the skill bind resist badge.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With the UEVOs, Juri and Romia have turned out to be more desirable; Juri is a top tier leader it seems with relatively "low requirements" subs by just filling the team with Ragnarok Dragons. Romia has become a pretty good sub in green teams and Anubis teams.</div>

<br />
Bouya! (1st copy)<br />
<br />
After all the bad luck in the normal REM, this seems like a redemption for all the silvers I got. He received a UEVO and is probably the first card to obtain the Guard Break awakening. The effect is pretty cool with your card shooting lasers. It will be so fitting on Superman! In Japan, it has also been buffed to 100% instead of 50% and Bouya's 2nd guard break awakening was replaced with a skill boost.<br />
<br />
Card design-wise, his leader skill isn't very powerful so I intend to use him as a sub but I have not been able to because I want to be able to make use of his guard break but the best rainbow leaders require hearts in activation which his active contradicts. The best way might be to ignore his active like here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvFMWyqjVSQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvFMWyqjVSQ</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Note that in the Collab dungeon, Takeda Kousei's skill up card can be useful like how Fujin's skill card is used against damage absorb bosses. I farmed up 1 copy and kept it for future usage.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-9101667964581574322017-04-15T12:40:00.000+08:002017-04-15T12:40:16.337+08:00Fire Emblem Heroes: Tier lists, Rerolling and Useful Links and Tips (Updated with *Last Update*)This mobile game is available in some countries at the moment (I read it's Japan and Europe) and I'm currently playing the version from Japan iOS app store and it's entirely in English so there are no language issues.

The rest of the links above are in Japanese but there are plenty of pictures so it should not be too hard to understand. As the game is still so new, you'll probably want to check back to those sites once in a while as there will most likely be updates.<br />
<b><br /></b>It seems like Takumi is one of the best card at the moment, I think mainly due to the skill that allows him to counterattack from any distance and being a neutral class. Takumi should be the safest option to reroll for now unless you have some other favourite character in mind.<br />

Basically, try to save up 20 orbs so when you "roll" the hatcher, you can "roll" continuously and get 5 rolls instead of 4 if you stay on the board of 5 stones shown due to the discount.<br />
<br />
On iOS, I have to delete the app and re-download and so far it is more tedious than Puzzle & Dragons due to the bigger download required. I'm trying to reroll a while to see if I can get at least a 5*. Refer to the tier list above on what are the better cards.<br />
<br />
You can tap the animation to cancel it immediately in the initial tutorial battles. In the subsequent rounds after the 300+mb download, turning on auto-battle should be faster than trying to make the moves yourself.<br />

Don't forget to learn and equip your character's skills. I think it is good to learn all the different skills first instead of trying to all-in those with multiple levels. Most of the skills are passives or utilities so being able to equip more will be more beneficial IMO.<br />

Once you have a decent team, consider investing your orbs to upgrade your castle as it boosts exp.<br />

I haven't been playing this game at all as I didn't have time for it.

There's not much use for a 3rd copy until her split evolutions come later but I'm keeping her anyway.<br />
Gremory team subs are now: Yomi Dragon/APanda/Gremory/Gremory. The team does have a lack of Skill boosts so I'm definitely keeping APanda in the team. 2 of Gremory's actives can actually function as a "board change" but I have Ishida inherited on the leader Gremory, just in case.<br />

<b>Rank 50 free roll: Akane </b>(1st copy)<br />

I'm happy with this as she has a lower CD active to unlock orbs making it the same as a board randomiser active.

<br />
<b>Thouzer</b> (1st copy)<br />
<br />
There's a lot of buzz about this card as his active is very unique. He can enable combos on non-light full single color boards so he's definitely useful. Keeping him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't manage to get Shew in the end but in hindsight with the orbs unlocking actives introduction, I probably don't need him anymore.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-42849750802205158852017-02-05T18:07:00.000+08:002017-04-15T12:30:29.004+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Godfest (12/16/2016~12/18/2016) roll (Update#2 on Ana-Typhon)4x rates for all Godfest exclusives but they are all evolved. I'm guessing the rates and rarity are in such a way that the overall probability is still "balanced"...<br />
<br />
<b>Typhon! </b>(1st copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a>Only rolled once and was very lucky. The UVO form is probably better as a sub due to the lower cooldown which is better for inheriting skills (recently even got a further 1 turn reduction in cooldown during the Shonen Sunday stream) while the Ana-version is a better leader. I have Juggler to fill his spot in Gremory team thus I decided to make him into the Ana-version.<br />
<br />
I tried some high end dungeon with her like Ra Dragon Guerrilla and Mech Hera but couldn't complete them mainly due to running out of hearts and active to make them. My teams always use Satsuki for the TPA damage but since she doesn't make hearts, it could be the reason why I run out of them so I probably have to rethink how I build her team. A Xin Hua purchase looks tempting again as I now have her and Gremory... I've also noticed that when refreshing the stranger list, I hardly find people leading with Ana-Typhon. She doesn't seem very popular nowadays as I have no problem searching for Red Odins, Ilms (especially), Gremory, etc, most of the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> I've been using Ana-Typhon on Gremory team for farming Standard and Conditional Descends and she functions fine. You can expect a one-time use of her active and that's it, which is OK for short dungeons. She's probably going to be replaced if possible as I will probably inherit a boardchange active instead of using her.<br />
<br />
It's also quite hard to find friend leaders for her so it's a little tempting to switch back to the previous evolution and take the dark pii lost... 9 CD vs 13 CD is a lot and it makes him in line with Yomi Dragon's and A.Pandora's active CD. If I turn her back, it will be the second time I do it for an Ana evolution; I change Ana-Ceres back for the reincarnate evolution (Revo) as I wanted to lead with that instead. However, Ana-Ceres' full bind clear can be useful in the Radar Dragon Guerrilla while I hardly use Revo Ceres so it was quite a waste of green pii-s plus I can no longer change Revo Ceres back to Ana-Ceres!<br />
<br />
<b>Update#2:</b> There is also another factor in the team cost as she is 10 cost higher and you might not be able to use some of the manic badges.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950273892591293894.post-70655382251914630962017-02-05T18:05:00.000+08:002017-04-15T12:28:37.911+08:00Puzzle & Dragons: My Japan Godfest (12/31/2016~01/03/2017) rollsCan't really remember the days I went for the rolls other than my first roll as it was a Day 1 featured card. This was the Godfest that introduced the new 3 Kingdom 2.0 pantheons that unlocked orbs and the 2 new Godfest Exclusives, Fujin and Raijin with useful actives as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Gremory!</b> (2nd copy)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The 2nd copy was really the difference that made my Gremory team stable, along with the buffs from stream. Although she does not have haste, her low CD means I have just enough to cycle through my actives for her team. Team subs were then: Yomi Dragon/APandora/Juggler or Ana-Typhon or Lumiel if I'm farming special descended with preDras/Gremory.<br />
<br />
<b>Leeza </b>(1st copy, I think)<br />
<br />
She's always have a use as you can setup the board and use her actives to create 2 more combos, especially with Anubis to turn them to dark orbs. She's now used in ALiu Bei teams. Keeping her.<br />
<br />
<b>Ma Chao!</b> (1st copy)<br />
<br />
I'm happy with any of the cards from the new pantheon for the active. The dark card is useful for Dark Athena and the green one which I have now, can be used in a pairing with the new UVO Odin Dragon. Might find use on AKushinada team against Zeus +297 dungeons but I have not pii or used him yet. Definitely keeping.<br />
<br />
<b>Thumberlina</b> (Xth copy)<br />
<br />
There is a use as an inherit onto either of the Mirus so I'm holding onto her at the moment even though I have sold some copies before. I don't use AIsis on Blue Miru as I prefer orb changers and binds are definitely one of the main weakness for her team. Light Miru is slightly less susceptible as there are quite a few unbindable light subs for her. I'm still a little tempted to sell her for MP eventually.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
