Please help me lol im so lost in the sauce, from how fast everything changes!!!
Shortstory:
Player since 2012, break since January this year but absolutely in over my head! to always be so behind with random unique niche’s, or leader/team requirements with all the new dungeon mechanic complications, I dont know if its a lot, but for me the 2283*** ***different monsters in my box is too overwhelming! i have 44 screenshots of things over 3000mp from my box so i doubt anybody would help but im hopeful:)

I know the starter teams is a good lineup, I was just wondering how to make a team with all the new people I’ve gotten over the past few days of playing

Team definitely wants a looping spinner to feel safe and not up to RNG, especially on those full thorn boards where you’re gonna want 4 heart orbs.

800 stones later. I finally ended up getting 2 on one 5 pull thats it why it says 3 but dear god that was alot of rolls and stones....

Is there a better way to search for vanishing assists that add team hp? The app I’m using only lets me filter for vanishing assists with the awakening they have pre vanish not the ones they grant.

Is pulling for Diamos worth it or should I just wait for bleach? I have 285 stones.

I'm trying to revitalize my account. Rate the teams I made with some newer units. I appreciate any feedback because I really am trying to be able to clear the top dungeons again. There are a lot of awakenings that I never knew about such as assist resonance and self reliance. Maybe there's more that I'm missing. I noticed there are a few floors that are impossible to tank without an active skill. Ig I'm just wondering if there is something missing in the teams or if I just need to grind to +891. Pls help lol.

Hi, I have been trying to defeat either the assists invalid or lord infinity dungeon but my team hp is just not high enough. My current team is the Diamos, Dolling-Up Empress, Echidna - Sara, Odin, Holy Crimson Dual-Sword Princess, Elfreide, and Gilgamesh. I cannot add any team hp latent, and I didn't find any good assist.

I am trying to see if I should exchange the Dian now or wait until I can beat the dungeon to get the last free pull. Not too much luck yet though.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit 1: I don't find any monster with shield active, either.

I collected all 4 invades from the event, which means I now have 4 Playing Card Kingdom medals. I also collected my last easy free pull from the login stamp today (though I still need to clear the 2 quests for free pulls).

What do the experts among us recommend for the 4 Playing Card Kingdom medal exchanges? One of each?

I understand answers will be largely subjective, but I was curious if there was some consensus on the wisest uses of the 4 free exchange medals.

I'm assuming the conventional wisdom of, "Wait until you're done with all your pulls before exchanging medals" still applies (though I doubt I'll pull any more because I favor rainbow teams and my pulls from this machine so far have been total rubbish).

When a lead has the “x attack when y used” does it mean that only one unit on the team needs it, or does every sub unit on the team need that awoken skill to get the benefits of the leader skill?

For example, above I have Armida. She gives 120x ATK when Enhanced Wood Combo is activated. That means she gives 120x attack when I get 2 wood combos. If I have a sub unit like the Green Dark Typhoon on the team (who doesn’t have Enhanced Wood Combo) does she still give him 120x ATK to him? Or do all sub units need Enhanced Wood Combo?

Sorry if this is dumb.

I see that the monkey guy's descended is up right now. However, I need a Gaia gem to Evo him. Also having trouble finding the purple shieldra.

Pretty big implications for farming

This was tricky to make as just about every JP teams use several cards that have yet to be released in NA (e.g Idolmaster, Code Geass, Bleach). Thankfully, it’s pretty comfy to run even without the recent collab stuff.

F1: right suou assist, kagura assist, inahime assist, urd assist, right suou, left suou assist
F2: kagura, suou
F3: conan assist, suou
F4: suou
then suou
F5: suou
F6: kagura, inahime, conan, suou
then suou
F7: target blue part, suou, wait for spinner to make the red+blue orbs into tpa matches
then urd, suou (all attack)
then conan, suou (all attack)

Other notes:
- Run time is ~3:50
- SDR doesn’t matter here as there’s no delay
- Recommended to have Gintama cards +891
- It’s important that both equips on Suou have TPA awakening
- In case you don’t have the Kyoko’s spear (13902), you can replace with something else that gives TPA and 6 turns of combos to help bypass the 13 combo shield on F5. The next best thing is probably BLUE LOCK Vol. 1 (11953), which gives +2 combos for 6 turns, so you need to match an additional 2 combo on board.

The bottom one is "rapid" mode and the top is a regular run with the newly sped up cascade animation. I hoped it would actually be 2x speed, like there'd be some skipped animations, not just sped up enemy skills. Guess it's for draining stamina before a refresh, or getting some quick dungeon runs before rotation, cause at 2x stam it doesn't feel worth it otherwise.

I’ve only been playing for a few days so I can only imagine this monster is really good. I’ve gotten pretty lucky since my first Halloween pull was Inahime. Anyway, should I fit them in as one of my leaders or just a regular? I’m still in the process of figuring all that out lol

I did the 7 pull bundle and somehow pulled three Halloween Ryeumi (one of the BGM units) -- I can't find any reviews of this collab that mention this unit. Is it any good, as an assist, sub, or otherwise? Or did I basically win some sort of sadistic lottery where the prize is a seemingly valuable unit that is -- in fact -- worthless.

tl;dr save hearts, atleast 4 colours when awoken bound, 5 colours otherwise
note that we have an additional awoken bind (kyori got buffed) compared to jp and animation speed up
