Nice, pulled a cotton from the 2nd REM pull.
The combos to activate Yusuke are high enough. Usually gets 230,000+.

finished the PEMdra with this most recent time, with rare being finished yesterday I am two short of having 7 each done, then it is just going for the pulls.
Got EA as my first free REM pull, Arcline as my second. so neither very good.

First roll was Brigid (New! and useful), second was Shotel (dupe). So...pretty OK. I'm guessing we aren't going to get both of the beach REM rolls. These guerilla schedules are murder for a work week.
The gatchadra event. A guerilla dungeon where people try to kill differently rare Remdra. How many you personally kill of each type gives out one set of rewards, while, our ability to kill them gives us a few free rolls. We have killed enough gold "Remdra" to get two rolls on a machine with both crap and GFE. We still may get some beach rolls (probably at least one). Should be in your in-game mail. I guess if you aren't seeing them, maybe you have to at least clear or kill one of each type. Not sure.

We're averaging a smidge above 20k/day despite the guerrilla scheduling. Simple math says we'll hit the 120k threshold on day 6. Unlike ranking dungeons, whales and hardcore players are less likely to stop playing halfway through the week so I don't think the scores will plateau until we get both rolls. Also helps that the dungeon gives decent rank experience and the drops are okay experience fodder.
Discord means you can always find players to coop with throughout the day even if your guerrilla schedule doesn't mesh with your work schedule. Worst part is that a lot of hosts don't bring a button for floor one - it's slower and means they'll face the boss floor (which they also don't OHKO PALdra/REMdra, further slowing down your runs)

I may of missed it then. I've been playing PoGo, while just logging in for bonuses
today was 2100 day playing P&D.
and I promptly used the 10 stones and got a B&J. now what? I STILL need a Fujin...

It is still going on, if you feel like playing at all, it is not a particularly challenging dungeon. Just got to be aware of the guerilla times.
I guess you could always trade her off. Beach Fujin is probably the strongest Fujin option.
Trading is really not an option, don't have enough GFEs in general.
I guess wat I really need to do is save and go ham next time there is a good GFE rem.

I play pretty casually these days but I'm starting to get more interested in the game. Should I trade my 2nd and 3rd Ilm, 2nd DKali, and 2nd Ryune for beach Fujin? I haven't rolled a Fujin on my main. None of those cards are currently in use. It seems really steep but I don't know how else I can guarantee a Fujin. I know there's a farmable with that active, but I don't play enough to skill one of those.
Beach Fujin can get tripple 7c through a super awakening so she's a damn good sub along with her necessary active. She's also an easy to use lead herself if you have attacker subs.
The only thing I'd be hesitant to trade are the extra Ilms if you're remotely interested in ranking dungeons. If you don't care about those and you want to farm arena 3 (but can't do so currently), go for it.
Wait for the next 6 stone REM. I got Ideal, Reeche, Paimon, Aten, and Ilmina in the last one (all saved stones) which is way better than my usual GF pulls.
Maybe? Since you are trading all dupes, you won't be locked out of anything in particular, and Ryune is now a known quantity (she's meh). Beach Fujin is probably the best of the Fujin options, all things considered, but it is worth mentioning that I think that type of active is becoming more common. She also is a pretty capable lead with the right team. If it were me, I'd probably go for it your position, especially if you think you'll enjoy the game more.
Also, if you ever need a lead up, let me know.
I still have my bf
Id 310,942,201
Also all over the place with my leads and excited for DMeta.
B33r what's you id/in game name? Ccb and I are already friends.
Mine is 344,231,384
Ccb you want to bf me? I'll bf b33r and b33r can bf you?
Thanks for the advice, pulled the trigger on Bluijin. I think I'll work on an arena 3 farm team with my alt and then see where I can go. Don't think I'll regret the exchange.
OP
OP
I'm waffling on trading for Fujin. On one hand I REALLY don't need her. I have almost every variant of that active in NA (just missing her and gilgamesh iirc) but on the other she compliments Barbara and Julie really well with 3 7c and team RCV, and a relevant active for certain dungeons. I'm leaning toward no. If she had unbindable built in then I'd probably go for it but I can't justify sacrificing a 7c awakening for it.
My current B&J team looks like this:
B&J (Rathian)
Mel (Vday box)
Jhoira (Jhoira card)
Beach Tachi (Tachibana)
<flex>
B&J (Rathian)
Flex depends on the dungeon
If fujin is needed then G/B Fujin and replace tachi's inherit with Hiko
If Pixel is needed then Mega Blodin with burst inherit or Pixel Mai with Agnidyne inherit (SDR coverage) and Tachi gets the burst inherit.
If raw damage is needed then Enra with xmas (or was it NY?) carat once the buff to include SB+ in the burst hits. Or a relevant killer sub (Kiri, No. 6, etc)
If move time is limited then Scheat with TPA inherit since 2c with a blue TPA hits hilariously hard.
General messing around I leave blodin on for the extra SBs. I'm hoping after the island REMDra guerilla I don't have to make any choices.
EDIT: Man fuck this REM.
Free roll: Goemon
Idiot Rolls: Navi, Fuu, Chester
I have a ~20% chance of picking up something I don't have so I figured why not. Well that's fucking why not.

I thought people realized beach REM was a trap? Got the awful golds with my free rolls so I'm just hoping super godfest is this weekend so I can maybe get some trade fodder for a beach 8*.
Endless challenge was annoying. Hadn't faced any of those Trinity dragons so Cthulu wiped me with his resolve. Beat the Azathoth one on my second try, holy crap do you get a lot of EXP for beating that. Stalled him with Eirika and then whittled him down for a Yusuke VDP.
Garbage rolls for me, oh well.
Finally beat all the Machine dungeons. Took down Zeus and Geomon today. Geomon was a little tricky, had to waste a spot on a level 3 card that had attribute absorb for Geomon since I was using Yusuke. Voided damage on his initial attack, popped null attribute absorb, bicolor Yusuke board and changed right column to hearts for FUA. Got a bad board change and could only 6 combo so had to pray for a skyfalls and got lucky.
Sure there are easier ways to beat it but fun coming up with your own strategy.
Zeus was easy just a matter of me now being comfortable with doing VDP attacks with Yusuke and 7 comboing.

I am debating trading for her for my b&j team. I'd have to use my only Ryune, but she is a known, not good, quantity.
I'll have to think about it, but another fujin active is always nice, as well as a triple 7c sub.
Welp, traded for bj
day 1 team
bj(rathian)
mel(vday box)
blujin (fujin?)
jhoira (weld)
takamimusubi (blue cape) or beach urd
Still thinking about buying SO135-Alastair.

I pulled the trigger on Kuroyuris for my alt tonight and ran a very safe run of AA that didn't take forever. I only had to really stall on starling for my Fujin active but it only took a couple mins. I think sopdet after Starling is a run killer simply because stalling it back up would be take like 52 turns. It's totally possible on ogres by just 1cing over and over but I think just bailing would take less time to get back to the same spot.
Congrats on Blujin Bladelaw! It was only gold and a silver for my accounts.

So...we have an update soon and a stream. What's everyone thinking? We get D.Meta on the update, stream uses D.Meta to clear Nidhogg; godfest this weekend and announces Halloween for Monday? We tend to get that one on time, right?
Again, let me know if you need anything up. A3 often runs best with two fujin types and I can always put one on a lead for you.
Well that worked out nicely. Unfortunately both of my free rolls were kurone. Actually, all of my rolls on this REM were 4*, with the exception of two meimeis, making a total of four that I own.

Has anyone figured out how Nidhogg works? I only had enough stam for one run and got to the boss no problem (I'd recommend full poison resist, FUA, cloud resist, and if you can fit it, a TE active and/or jammer resist for a smooth ride). The boss is biiiiiig 500M HP, 40M damage void, every turn above 50% HP he makes a full jammer board and does something else (row of poisons, 2 fire columns, etc). Under 50% he self hastes, puts up a barrier and a 75% shield. Next turn he turned himself to fire and nailed me for ~180k. I didn't bring a shield so RIP me. I feel like I screwed up the puzzle here since I didn't drop him to a traditional "get rekt" threshold, he was only a little under 1/2 HP. I'm wondering if I took too many turns to drop him to 1/2? I may try again with Narukami and a team of pixels with a burst but I'd like to clear with B&J.
REALLY recommend full poison resist or a board change for I&I though.
EDIT: Looking around I could Devil killer up Blodin, put spike on Mel and stall it up then B&J + spike + pixel board should get me the kill if he's still red. Still I kinda want to engage with the mechanics at least once. Coop would make this part pretty simple.

completely forgot about him. He should do nicely. I just saw a Verse team do it too. I might be able to make a farm team for this when I get home. Not sure if it's worth it though.
Okay, I've been heavy into gacha games since Brave Frontier launched, but I skipped this one due to it being do ancient. That said, my girlfriend enjoys match-3, and I'm looking for a co-op match-3 game we can play through together. We tried Crash Fever's campaign co-op, but that gameplay is a bit too mindless.
The OT subtitle brought me in with promises of co-op, but is it that kind of co-op? Is the game too long in the tooth for new players to get into at this point?
Thanks!

I started about a year ago and haven't had a problem, the folks here are more than happy to help. There are a tons of mechanics but you don't need them until you gradually get further into the game. Biggest thing to know is that there are difficulty spikes and you'll be tempted to use the in-game currency to "continue" but don't because you need to organically get stronger or the next dungeon you face you'll be in the same spot. Typically when I got stuck I looked into how to properly build teams and that got me over the hurdle. Early on you don't have to pay too much attention to Inheriting, Awakenings, +ing, skill leveling, etc but when you hit a wall starting to add those to your team helps a lot.
Other than that jump in and read some starter guides. Save your Magic Stones for the upcoming Super Godfest which will get you a great head start.
The co-op portion is just that, you take turns on the same board and fighting the same enemies. You each bring a leader and a sub-team and you get the benefits of both leaders on your turn while using your own sub team. Ideally for high end content you double up leaders (meaning two of the same leader) as the multipliers stack nicely, but early on mixing and matching is fine.
Re: Nidhogg I've beaten Mythical and Mythical Plus first try with Yusuke team. Not sure if I'll run into damage problems on Annihilation but you do get two whacks at him before he moves so doing two 7-combo VDPs with a Yusuke team should do it if a single 7-combo VDP with Yusuke did it on Mythical Plus.
OP
OP
Aesnath co-ops fairly often so he may be able to give you more targeted co-op advice.
Generally...
No the game isn't too old to get in. Gung Ho is pretty good about making it easy to get up to speed content wise. Since you're familiar with Gacha games you should be familiar with re-rolling. It's much less vital to do in this game than most I've played but obviously you can give yourself a good boost if you have the patience. Also the Match-3 mechanics in this game are different than most. The tutorial is ok about explaining it better than I can in text. There are some guides posted in the OP if you want to dig in.
There's three classes of dungeons: Normal, Technical, and Special. You can only co-op in Technical and Special. Fortunately, that's where all the interesting content lives. Normals are about learning the basic mechanics and how the game works. Technical introduces more complex mechanics at a drip pace, and special is where all bets are off.
There's no campaign to speak of (just progressively harder dungeons) so you can play solo or co-op without too much worry you'll jump ahead of your partner. You can also open up dungeons your partner hasn't seen and still team up which is pretty neat. I'd say give the game a shot but obviously I'm super biased.

Nidhogg dropped to the might of Amenominakanushi. I chipped a couple turns out of safety, then popped Mercuria, Puu, and B&J. Turns out I would have been under if I didn't chip but only just. Ameno's damage was ~423M and the sub attribute damage didn't make up the difference. So if you have B/L Ameno I'd strongly recommend him for this dungeon. Blodin works too but you need to chip a bit more.
