    Hi, I just got to level 20 in the jpn version. If anyone is interested we can exchange presents. My ID is 197,888,316.

    I find that playing 2 games help to kill the wait for stamina to replenish :)

    Can you play 2 accounts in the US versions? I'd actually like that as the dungeons I'm running drain 75% of my stamina, so I'm only able to run a few dungeons a day now.

    I'd like to play a new account also to keep practicing combo generation.

    I'm battling the Legendary Green Dragon right now. I can maintain my health fine but I'm not doing enough damage, his HP goes down a pixel or so every 3 or 4 big attacks I do. At this rate it will take me a week to defeat him, which would be legendary... or maybe just ridiculous :p so a few questions:

    is the legendary green dragon a for sure drop like the impossible god levels? or does anything good definitely happen when he's defeated?

    has anyone spent a week in a dungeon? i'm worried p&d will be quit by iOS and i'll loose my progress :eek:

    do the timers on special dungeons care when you start a dungeon or when you end it? for example, i was able to start the legendary green dragon dungeon but if the timer is up when i finish it, will i get an error code :confused:

    i've been digging around on the chinese wiki but really hope an english translation or effort along those lines surfaces soon :D

    I don't know which level are you playing, but the drop rate is not 100%. Some experienced player said that it's about 25% on Master, 10% on Expert, and even lower on Adept.

    The green dragon has defense of 18600 in Adept, 31000 in Expert, so if your attack cannot break that, your damage becomes 1. So if I were you, I would quit right now. Just wait a couple hours and you can do it again more prepared, so why not? Remember to bring a poison monster with you, or if you are all about brute force, you should bring a monster with Guard Break skill. The best choice is bring a Meteor Volcano Dragon and a Guard Break monster, instant kill in Adept and Expert. Actually in Adept level you don't even need the Guard Break monster if you have Meteor Volcano Dragon.

    Those metal or gold dragons are rare, but their main purpose in this game is to be used as fodder. Because they give great exp. Also, as you found out, the gold dragons are more worthy if sold. Feed it or sell it, it's your choice. But I recommend feed it, since you really don't have to worry about money that much in the beginning phase of the game.

    I don't know what stage are you at but normally when you feel stuck you should level up a bit first. It seems that you only tried 1 rare egg pulls, did you spent the rest to expand monster box? I think everyone should at least try the rare egg pull 3 times before expanding monster box. Also, when you reach level 20 you will be able to exchange present with another player and both of you can get 2 dragons. They are better than those monsters you meet in dungeons.

    Thank you!!! And by "Feed it" do you mean use them as fusion material to make other creatures stronger? Or are you suggesting that I level them up to use in battle, etc?

    Is there a faster way to collect / xp the "Big Baddies" for feeding to the Vampire Lord for skill gain? I have been running the dark dungeon for the normal Baddies and leveling and evolving them, but it takes a ton of time/stamina. Surely there is a better way :confused: ?

    I know this is a pretty old discussion, but a zombie team is an extremely good idea and there are multiple ways to make use of it. For example, you can cobble together some Samurai Goblins, an Ogre, and a good helper such as a Lilith, Echidna, or if you're fortunate enough to have them on your friends list, a Shiva, and easily beat the high-difficulty Mask (Wednesday) or Lit (Friday) dungeons. A zombie team is fantastic for taking down a powerful boss like the late legendary water dragon. A form of a zombie team will let you collect a Rainbow Keeper.

    I think a little bit may have been lost in translation talking about a fully evolved Amaterasu. That's a late-game concern, and I haven't even seen a US player with that character anyway. For many current zombie team goals you can do exactly what you want to do making use of a healer—Alraune, Siren, Archangel—and the proper team. Or other approaches, such as using green Odin. You can get by without using these tactics, but progress will be much, much slower.

    The advice to avoid leveling your Viper Orochi was excellent advice. For the time being, the best use for him by far will be in a zombie team, and the less HP he has, the better he will serve that zombie team. If you evolve him and keep him at level 1, he's still going to have a lot of HP, and that's not desirable. Essentially, the goal is to have a leader who facilitates the zombie team (and Viper Orochi is fantastic for this as he'll save you if you have at least 50% health, rather than the 70% from Resolve), proper means of healing (whether a healer like Siren or a good RCV value and a creature that can make hearts), and sufficient means of dealing damage.

    I saw a lot of talk about how Gods are so essential back earlier in this discussion, but that's just not true. They do open up new possible teams, and a greater variety of teams, but it is quite possible to build an effective 6.25x dragon team, or a 4x dark team, without any IAP at all (and those are just two examples). For the time being I would suggest playing through the game a bit to see what options open up to you. As you use some Rare Eggs (don't forget to expand your box, too—that's actually a very good use of Magic Stones) you will start to get some other goodies, and before long you're going to have some options for building good teams. From there, you just need to decide what you want to do, and then farm the proper dungeons looking for the monsters you need (whether a Vampire, Mermaid, or whatever).

    It will take more time than hosing the game with some real world money, sure, but who cares? Just take your time and enjoy the game. (Not that I have anything against spending some money on a good game).

    Also, over time you'll collect some great rare monsters simply by accumulating Magic Stones through the game (especially if the US version distributes them as reasonably as the JP version). Just hold on to them and use them at the proper times. For example, now is a good time to use them if you want a dark team. I would not use them now if you're not interested in that.

    Already answered above, but I would definitely feed the non-basic gold dragons to creatures you want to evolve or power up. They can sell for a lot of money, and that's an option in a pinch, but it is probably better to make sure you harvest enough through the weekend dungeon and consider carefully what you choose to pay for through the week (e.g. don't feed basic creatures to a high-level creature—the benefit is not worth the cost).

    Best way is to collect them from the Dungeon of Dark in an unevolved form. I believe there is a point where that dungeon goes to 1/2 Stamina. If that's the case, it would be an even better time to hunt for them. You'll pick up some of the evo material you need for them there, but you can get the rest from the Friday dungeon (today). It takes time and it is annoying, but that's the avenue to take if you want to boost Vampire Lord's skill (which should definitely be done for a dark team).

    My current players are nearing their max lvl (35) and i have used rare egg machine a few times. Ive gotten toytops twice in a row, a lil red dragon which i didnt keep, a flame golem i still have, and a pyro devil i still have. They are all the same attribute it doesnt help me to have all of my team fire when none of my team can orb change. What should i do??

    What color are you using? It's not actually a bad thing to have some bias in favor of a color earlier in the game—it helps you to build a strong single-color team. It sounds a little bit like fire happens to be the color you're getting a lot of? You can pick up an Ogre (or farm for a Titan) for one of your gem changers, and a Samurai Goblin can also help out in that area for the time being. You should also pick up a low-level Ogre and leave him that way for the sake of zombie teams.

    You should have kept the Little Red Dragon. Those guys become quite powerful as they evolve. If you happen to come across a little dragon in the future, regardless of color, keep it around!

    Same goes for any Mystic Knight your stumble across.

    Depending on the dungeon I clear i use whichever color benefits that dung. I used the premium egg machine and i now have the dark mystic knight and an agdrall. A lot of these i cant evolve yet because the materials are question marks, and so i remain stuck at the twin apollo dungeon.

    Edit: and the dark mystic knight is now max lvl from the metal dragon dung just now, but what is the fifth evolve material that i cant see? Hmm

    Twin Temple Apollo is pretty decent progress. Things start to ramp up in difficulty quite a bit around this point, but you're also pretty close to unlocking the Technical Dungeons. You're getting to a point in the game where you're going to want to start fleshing out your team a little and evolving/leveling some monsters to keep making progress.

    If you're referring to the unevolved Dark Mystic Knight, the fifth thing you need is this guy, and I'm surprised you haven't run across one yet. Aside from appearing in the lower-difficulty Wednesday Mask Dungeon, you should also be able to come across them in, I believe, Pluto Valley.

    I just finished the castle of satan. I'm dipping my toe in a few of the other things i can do. I'm doing the normal red dungeon after the castle of satan, i did my first daily dungeon yesterday, and I've started the technical dungeon.

    I think the technical dungeons are significantly easier than the red dungeons at this point. I'm using a 2x dark, 2x blue, 1x green team right now. And I'm somehow finding the green technical dungeon easier than the red normal. I see that the technical dungeons will be an easy place to level up my team for a bit. So, I'll probably spend a few days there before I go back to the normal dungeons. Right now, I'm using:

    lvl 25 loki (leveling him up is still annoying)
    lvl 27 dark dragon knight
    lvl 39 aurora dragon
    lvl 29 4-star siren
    lvl 25 3-star green/red ogre

    I'm hoping that blue pengdras drop from the next stage of the technical dungeon. I'd like to get my siren up a bit. But, I'm not looking forward to leveling up my dark guys. I'll probably just end up dropping pengdras to them as well.


    any advice? criticisms to my approach? I'm rank 45 or so, and i feel like i should probably be a bit further on in the game. So, I'd be open to what's said to me.
