Keep in mind all of the following monsters qualify for Skill Inheritance so do not be too hasty in selling dupes.
Overview
The Hel’s Kitchen Godfest marks the official release of the highly anticipated Sherias Roots 
, Balboa 
, and Fenrir Viz 
. These three new Godfest Exclusives help diversify your monster box while providing a new top tier leader with Sherias Roots. Just be conscious of their rarity and how challenging it will be to acquire these new monsters.

Sherias Roots Dragon / Devil 6 star base      —- All        999 true damage to 1 enemy 8 turn CD — 2x ATK match 4 elemnts. Max 7x all 6 elements. 1.5x ATK & RCV Dragons 110.25x ATK / 2.25x RCV |
In my mind, it is firmly rooted that Sherias Roots is a majestic werewolf wearing a magical wizards hat. Alas, GungHo insists they are a ferocious and demonic dragon; however, they will always be a silly dog to me. Regardless, Sherias Roots is the first of three new GFE to be released and they are easily one of the strongest to be released in recent memory. They rival the power of Ra Dragon  from a multiplier perspective, but have several key differences.
Sherias Roots is able to cover the dark element while having a scaling multiplier that is more forgiving due to the ability to match various elements to trigger damage. In addition, Sherias Roots has an incredible active that is able to execute a single PreDRA I am glad GungHo was Sherias about creating a rainbow lead that could rival Ra Dragon that did not cost 300k MP. Granted it may be challenging to roll a 6-star GFE, but there is at least hope. The main hurdles you will have to overcome with Sherias Roots is navigating binds, using strong dragons, and finding friends due to how new and rare they are. |
Fenrir Viz Devil / Physical 6 star base —-  3 turn CD — 4x ATK clearing 3 connected Jammers. Max 10x at 9 Jammers. 1.5x RCV Devils 100x ATK / 2.25x RCV |
Jammer Meta Intensifies. Actually, GungHo seems to have somewhat abandoned that idea in favour of pursuing the much more populated heart-cross leaders such as Miru  , Sumire  , and Kaede  . Regardless, Venrir Viz is a relatively easy to activate 100x lead who is able to proc their damage for two turns, then wait for actives to begin killing things again. This is due to the amazingly short 3 turn cooldown. If you bring another sub who can manufacture jammers or produces haste, you could have a significantly higher uptime. Unfortunately, Fenrir Viz is fragile and is somewhat unable to heal (despite the RCV boost) or use fire subs due to the removal of hearts and jammers. Furthermore, there is no HP multiplier and you would either have to rely on coop or damage mitigation subs to survive. I have never been a fan of the Jammer meta, but at least this is a feasible leader to use. Here is a link to an Arena 1 Solo clear.
Looking beyond a leader, Fenrir Viz can be wonderfully utilized as a base for Skill Inheritance. With fantastic base stats, awakenings, and a 3 turn cooldown, you are able to successfully transfer an active of your choice. The double SBR and Time Extend along with God Killer provide a wonderful mix of utility and damage. Perhaps if GungHo remembers they started a Jammer meta and start making more subs will Fenrir Viz become more viable/popular. |
Balboa Physical / Dragon 5 star base  —- Void enemy defence for 1 turn. Reduce damage by 50% for 1 turn 11 turn CD — 2x ATK & RCV for Wood. 2x ATK when Wood and Water attack at same time. 16x ATK / 4x RCV |
Balboa is the final GFE to be released with the Hel’s Kitchen Godfest and is another colour remake of an existing card, Baldin  . Like Baldin, Balboa has a dual purpose active along with dual killer awakenings, but is only a 5 star base and has less value by comparison in terms of awakenings and base stats. However, Balboa is also more common to pull and has the capability to compliment Awoken Artemis  . Both leaders rely on matching water and wood orbs, but Balboa improves the teams RCV to form a 2x HP / 16x ATK / 2x RCV team. This is quite respectable as you have a wonderful mixture of damage and survivability.
Even with a favourable pairing, Balboa / Artemis teams are not that desired in today’s meta due to the pace of powercreep and the relatively low damage 16x is without rows from your leaders. As a sub, Balboa will be very niche as the times when you want both full damage void and defensive shield are slim to nil. However, in longer dungeons such as Arena 2, you can use Balboa to void the PreDRA Overall, Balboa will be a niche card to lead or sub as and may have some value as an assistant for skill inheritance. |
Happy Puzzling!

I always tend to roll in godfests where new GFEs are released due to a superstition that they have boosted rates. But nope, it was just freaking Fenrir, who I think I’ve rolled six of. BUT! I got Scheat finally in Day 1, which is super cool, and 2 other cards I didn’t have in my collection (Goetia and Rozuel).
I’ve thought about the jammer meta for a long time, and have a couple max skilled Fenrirs and a max skilled Jorm, but I can’t do it, even if I rolled Viz. I could probably grow to like the playstyle, but it doesn’t seem like Gung Ho has the commitment, and the playerbase -definitely- doesn’t.
Heart crosses though… -that’s- something I can get behind 🙂
Never going to be able to unsee that wizard hat lol!

You sound like you actually have a team that could be feasible, but it seems GH has stopped producing cards that can actually help you. I also don’t think the player base enjoys matching jammers and being so reliant on active skills.
There is some speculation that Miru will be released soon and I have all the mats ready =D
Regardless, congrats on your Scheat =D
I too cannot un-see Sherias Roots and his wizard hat XD

The Gung Troll continues… I feel the same about the new GFE rates… But I pulled two Fenrirs and dupes of Cao, Belial, Freyr and a bunch of junk I didn’t need. What I wanted was Uriel or Sherias. I don’t believe in the boosted new GFE rates any more. ‘-_-
Hope others have better luck.

At least Freyr makes a reasonable assistant for SI for both water and fire teams
That’s pretty rough pulling double Fenrir, GH just doesn’t care about the jammer meta

Started a new account to make coop videos for my site with a buddy. Rerolled 20 times to get something that would match his Set. Was really only hoping for a Horus or Bastet or something that would have worked to start off witheven if it wasn’t ideal. Told myself that roll 21 would be the last one if it was gold no matter what. It was gold. It was Sherias Roots.

Thanks man. I’m really stoked on him. I grinded up to rank 52 or so on the Monday dungeon just so I could afford him and the Napoleon I rolled as well.
The site is geekade.com and it’s a general geek related site with articles about damn near everything. I personally write about Kung fu movies, video game and craft beer pairings, wrestling, and will now be doing PAD stuff. We also do a bunch of podcasts and videos.

Tbh, the jammer meta never really took off so either way, you would be very hard pressed to actually find someone who runs Fenrir Viz

Balboa/Artemis actually have no problem running rows, as there is Australis who conveniently converts non wood/water orbs away. He is even a 5-star GFE, making him relatively easy to obtain. Astaroth, Michael, and Freyja are all solid subs that provide 3 rows each, which means that getting enough rows onto the team isn’t as tough as you think.
LikeLike
Yeah its not as tough due to Australis, but it can be frustrating as both leads don’t have any of their own. Also, the amount of content they can clear is continuously being pushed back and you are better investing in other teams

The additional multiplier for dragons will never show on the screen with matching orbs as what is shown applies to everyone. The dragon bonus is there, just not shown =)
