    "Help I'm New/Returning!" - Answers to Common Questions on the Sub

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 11:53 AM PST

    Hi I'm Broligee! I'm a long-time casual PAD player -- 2 accounts (ranks 600 & 400), installed September 2014, and just recently earned my 1000-day Tamadra.

    I've put together some useful information for new & returning players below. Disclaimer: personal opinions included. Don't forget that PAD is a game, so always do what's fun, even if non-optimal. Happy puzzling!

    What's Strong

    • Best cards are high rarity collab rolls and 6/7* GFE
    • Good leaders often give (per leader):

      • 1.5-6x RCV
      • 12-30x ATK -> depends on colors, typing, combos, linked orbs, etc.
      • One or more of:
        • Shield (reduce damage taken 25-50%)
        • 7x6 board
        • Fixed damage/auto-FUA (after orb match, does a fixed damage bonus attack, usually to kill enemies with Resolve)
    • Some of today's popular leads (best/hottest in bold)
      • Fire

    Challenging Content

    • Hardest Dungeons
      • Player Skill Quest 10/9/8 -> fixed teams, gimmicks, and luck to clear
      • Alt. Arena 3
      • Alt. Arena 2, Arena 5, Monthly Challenge 10, and Annihilation difficulty descends (e.g. Qilin, Eris, Scheherazade, Brahma)
    • Tough Mechanics -> Most are countered by Awakenings & Skills

      • Tape (can't move orbs)
      • Spinners (orbs loop on a timer changing from fire->water->wood->light->dark->heart)

      • Resolve (if enemy is above resolve HP threshold, no matter how much damage is dealt, the enemy will survive with at least 1HP--like Pokemon's "Focus Sash" --> if you OHKO an enemy above the Resolve threshold, they'll usually survive with the 1HP and execute you unless you have FUA)
      • Skill delay (increase number of turns until can use active skills)
      • Time debuff (less movetime)
      • RCV debuff (heal for less)

    Other Things

    • Upgrading Your Cards
      • Max Level (99), then Level Limit Break (up to Lvl 110)
      • Pluses (up to +297 upgrading all a card's stats)
      • Awakenings
      • Super Awakening (only after Level Limit Break) --> randomly rolled, you have to spend 297 plus points every time to keep rolling for what you want
      • Latent Awakenings (most players use SDR to resist skill delays and Killers to do more damage to certain types of enemies)
      • Assist Monster (gain another skill that charges up past the base monster's, more stats if on-color, and extra awakenings if equipping a "weapon" or "Awoken Assist" awakening)

    [JP] Yugi Team Versatility

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 04:25 PM PST

    No surprise but game with just updated their tier list to include Yugi at the top along with Minaka and Tifa. The CD does make a massive difference.

    Their team template page got updated as well with a ton of different combinations. Even if you can't read Japanese, it's a good resource just to see the potential of your own box.

    [Help][Missed Connection] Wey!!!!!

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 11:10 PM PST

    Ran about 15 3p clearings tonight with a person named Wey (I believe) who was running B. Veroah. If anyone has him as a friend or knows if he uses this reddit, please let him know I want to be his friend. My ID is in my flair and my In-Game name is King Rob.

    Wey, It's not often you run into randoms with good synergy and I'd like a friend!

    Anyone get one of the Invades to drop in the KR collab dungeon?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2020 08:57 PM PST

    Been grinding on the 50 energy stage in single player and haven't even seen Shadow Moon appear once. I switched over to the other dungeon recently and did see KR Ouja appear twice, but he just dropped medals. Guess it's just my bad luck, how is everyone else doing?
