Introduction & Overview
Let’s go to the beach, each. Let’s go get a wave eh. Poor singing aside, summer is in full swing and GungHo has decided to spoil their fans by releasing one of the most exciting Collab REMs to date. Like the June Bride REM, the PAD Island REM features a diverse array of monsters that are valuable at both the 8-star level as well as 4-star tier. Their power combined with festively drawn artwork and beach-wear attire is simply Myraculous. The prizes of this REM include Bikini Eschamali 
, Summyr 
, Goemon 
, and Navi 
. However, nearly every single card in this REM brings something to this beach party and is well worth several rolls, even if just for the silver eggs. Overall, this collab promises to be a Splashing success.
As a side note, they missed the glorious opportunity to have a topless Lifeguard Odin. Antonio could have had a new Halloween costume.

Naration of this article in my Mantastic voice. I don’t read word for word and is more so a summary so reading is still a good idea!
8 Star Rolls
| jjjjjjjjMonsterjjjjjjjjj | Notes |
| Eschamali Machine / God    8 star base —-       + 4 turns water skyfall10 turn CD —- 1.5x HP / ATK God & Machine types. 4x ATK maching 5o1e 2.25x HP / 36x ATK |
Look at all that enhancement! And I am not talking about her assets, but rather the 7 water orb enhance awakenings! It is no surprise that one of the most popular monsters in Puzzle and Dragons is one of the rarest rolls from the PAD Island REM. Beach Star Goddess, Eschamali will be a fantastic sub on essentially every mono water team even if they are row based. This is because row enhance  awakenings begin to lose value once your team has 10 of them. At that point, you should switch to enhanced orbs as they will add more damage. Furthermore, with a total of 7, Bikini Eschamali will ensure every single water orb that appears will come enhanced along with having perfect synergy with her skyfall active.
Beach Eschamali’s active is phenomenal as she grants a double orb change AND 4 turn skyfall buff for only a 10 turn cooldown. In addition, she can be used to remove jammer and poison orbs which can alleviate team building constraints as you will have less dependency on a full board changer. This ability to overflow the board with water orbs will be most beneficial on row based teams as they are able to match the clumps more easily than a TPA based team. However, for those players who already own Scheat Looking at what teams Beach Eschamali can fit on include, but not limited to: I&I As a leader, Beach Star Goddess, Eschamali forms a modestly strong God & Machine type team that has more damage output than a Yomi Dragon Overall, Beach Eschamali is a fantastic card to roll and has relevance on numerous water teams. Her main drawback is her rarity as she is an 8-star monster. GungHo really nailed the recipe for revenue generation by combining a powerful card in a bikini. |
| Myr Dragon / Machine / God   8 star base 500k MP —- 7  7s Change the World 7 turn CD — 7x ATK + 50% damage reduction when forming hearts in a cross formation. +2 seconds to move orbs 49x ATK / 75% Damage Reduction |
Sniper at Rest, Myr hits the mark and soft spot in my heart. She combines everything I could ever want in a monster along with receiving a buff in the very near future! However, she is actually a colour-copy of a completely farmable monster (Light Myr  ) and her strength and power is somewhat in question as to whether she is worth the 500,000 Monster Points (very rare to actually roll). I go over Beach Myr in greater detail in a previous post HERE.
However, the main points to consider are the water typing and access to powerful subs. Light Myr has Wedding Akechi Despite these drawbacks, Summyr is still an incredibly powerful card and is capable of clearing any dungeon in the game. Furthermore, you do not have to go through the hassle/stress of evolving and skilling up a Myr. Thus, Beach Myr is a huge gain for any midrange account. Whether she is worth the 500k MP will depend on your box and goals. You also have to consider she is 67% more expensive to purchase than any monster point card and we do not know what the next wave of MP cards will be. |
| Claire Attacker or Healer / Devil / God   8 star base 300k MP —-  5 turn CD — 3x ATK Devils. 1.5x HP for dark 2.25x HP / 9x ATK |
Claire was last year’s prize card and is currently available for 300,000 Monster Points. To help sweeten the deal, GungHo has given her a Machine Killer awakening. She also differs from her REM equivalent with slightly higher base stats and a SBR instead of enhanced heart orb  awakening. This does not seem like a significant upgrade considering the sheer rarity of rolling an 8-star Collab card (or 300k Monster Points). As such, we need to determine Beach Claire’s viability and just how strong the Machine Killer awakening is.
Currently, Annihilation tier content is considered the most challenging dungeons in the game (outside of Arena 3) and GungHo has been following a very mechanical theme (Mech Zeus, Hera, Athena, etc). As such, Beach Claire will be automatically dealing 3x damage to each floor. In fact, the machine killer is one reason why Sephiroth However, heart-breakers are currently the worst type of orb changer due to the popularity (and power) of the heart-cross meta. Furthermore, dark does not have a supreme leader (outside of Gremory Perhaps the best part is you can choose how tanned your Claire is by choosing a certain evolution path. I prefer the Snow-White Beauty version. |

7 Star Rolls
6 Star Rolls
5 Star Rolls
Four Star Rolls
The PAD Island Collab features perhaps the best line up of silver cards to date. Each one has significant value and considering they are the lowest rarity, should be easy to get. Just keep in mind they do they not evolve and you are unable to make use of their active as an assistant for skill inheritance.
| jjjjjjjjMonsterjjjjjjjjj | Notes |
| Awilda Dragon / Attacker  4 star base —- 30% damage reduction for 1 turn. 20x water attack to 1 enemy 5 turn CD |
I am not sure why she is called Incognito Queen, Awilda; however, she certainly is pretty and festively dressed (albeit in heels) for the beach. Awilda was one of the previously featured silver eggs and many players have found a usage for what was at first a disappointing roll. Beach Awilda provides 20% passive reduction to water type bosses and many players abused this with Courage  (changes boss attribute to water) to create 100% immune teams through various other damage reduction awakenings or leader skills. This kind of “cheese” team has proven effective, especially in Challenge Modes where you only have a single leader skill.
Outside of the fermented dairy teams, Beach Awilda can make an okay base for skill inheritance as she has 5 enhanced orb |
| Goemon Physical / Dragon  4 star base —- All  Reset team HP to 1 200k Fire damage to all enemies 15 turn CD — 1.2x ATK physical & dragon. Increase ATK based on how low HP you are. Max at 5x 36x ATK |
Unprecedented Surfer, Ishikawa Goemon rides in upon the crest of a wave into the PAD Island REM. He may say something along the lines of “Dude” or “Surf’s Up” or some other hip to the hop phrase I am unfamiliar with. Regardless, Goemon is arguably one of the strongest four stars ever released and has incredible value right out of the egg. Goemon  has significantly risen in popularity due to coop and the viability of push button teams. However, he took a bit of investment to create a team and only comes with a single Skill Boost . Skill boosts are the limiting factor for speed and efficiency, and by providing two instead of one, you have gain more flexibility and team building options. If both leaders are Beach Goemon, your team has an additional 2 Skill Boosts to play around with. This means you can form significantly stronger teams along with even using Beach Goemon as a sub for two more floors of destruction.
Acquiring Beach Goemon can benefit any account and is even more important for those just starting out. As showcased in my 100% farmable button Mechdragon team (full post HERE with video), you are able to use the ogres from Monday Dungeon in conjunction with the Descend Goemon to clear Mechdragon in about 73 seconds. However, very new accounts may struggle with acquiring the fully evolved Goemon (and skill ups), and Beach Goemon solves both those problems with the extra skill boost (entire team with dual Beach Goemon and ogres = 20 Skill Boosts).
|
| Navi Dragon  4 star base —- Increase heart skyfall for 3 turns 5 turn CD |
First off, Navi is simply amazing. She could have easily been a 5-star or even a 6 and she would not look out of place. She boasts 9 powerful awakenings that have great synergy with water teams. She may have low base stats at 687; however, through the coop bonus multiplier , all her stats are amplified by 50% (including the plus eggs). Thus, she will end up with just under 1,500 weighted stats when 297-ed.
In terms of team placements, Navi can be used on virtually any mono-water team due to her powerful awakenings and augmented healing for the team due to most of the heart orbs coming with an enhance. These enhanced heart orbs can be converted into enhanced water orbs with the right actives. In addition, her Dragon typing enables her to be used on Blue Sonia The main faults I can find with Navi are her solo-play capabilities. Lacking the coop bonus hinders her stats and a lack of SBR I strongly encourage everyone to roll the PAD Island Collab just for Navi (and Goemon) as their value and low rarity means they should take few attempts. |
| Armadel Balance/ Devil  4 star base —- 2 4 turn CD |
Armadel rounds out the the PAD Island REM and is another powerful four-star roll. She features a beach-themed outfit along with a wonderful 5 enhanced wood orb awakenings. Furthermore, she has a short, 4-turn cooldown and can act as a reasonable base for skill inheritance for mono-wood teams. I would not be disappointed with any of the silver rolls. |
Conclusion
The PAD Island REM has the best line up of silver eggs of any Collab REM to date. Nearly every card brings value and their own unique power. I highly encourage you to roll for at least Navi and Goemon. The five stars are much less promising by comparison and would probably be the largest source of frustration. Even the higher end golds are still reasonable and all the eight stars have relevance and power.
If your box monster box mainly consists of water cards, this is the Collab for you as you can significantly bolster your roster and options with the chance of rolling a top tier leader and sub.
What do you hope to roll and how many stones have you saved?
Happy Puzzling!

Posting my results since you asked about them-
22 4*s(5 Goemon, 6 Awilda, 7 Navi, 4 Armadel)
5 5*s(4 Kurone, 1 Fuu)
2 6*s(1 Lakshmi, 1 Urd)
2 7*s(2 Metatron)
0 8*s
At least I grabbed the entire silver lineup and board-change I wanted most. Looking at rarity alone, I’d say I had decent luck. The cards I actually got though leave quite a bit to be desired.
Metatron is just a complete disappointment outside being new. Lakshmi would be cool if A)I wasn’t buying BMyr and B)I didn’t have a hyper-max A-Lakshmi. Speaking of BMyr, I really want to buy her already but, I’d be completely devastated if I pulled her in the upcoming days.
LikeLike
I had another reader who bought Beach Myr then pulled her. So I would wait until you are finished rolling =)
As for your rolls, I am glad you managed to get Summer Urd as she is somewhat key to success with Summyr. I do agree that Metatron is mostly a (very) pretty box cheerleader without a true home in today’s meta
At least Beach Lakshmi is stronger than REM in terms of feasibility and the option of pairing with Summyr to help compensate for the lower ATK multiplier
Finally, thanks for posting your results =) Hopefully I can get Goemon and Navi in the few rolls I have

She’s been great! Haven’t brought her to a real dungeon yet but, I spent hours running Ultimate EC yesterday. Truth be told, I’d tried Heart-cross before with Sumire but, didn’t really like it. BMyr though has been surprisingly fun. While I hate to say it as a YY fan, the 5o1e clause was really awkward when paired with heart-cross. Row/TPAs just seem to mesh much better.
Also, I just realized there are in fact 16 cards in the Island REM. I completely forgot about Chester. Which is really sad when you consider he was one of my two rolls from last year alongside Claire.
LikeLike
The 5o1e clause was the main deterrent from enjoying sumire. Heart crosses are already awkward and then you want to add in another funky pattern? Ridiculous!
Also, the rows / tpa playstyle is far stronger for burst damage and ease of matching. Chester is also situational at best

Your rolls are pretty Fantastic! You could pair Lakshmi with a Beach Myr for more dmg, shield, and time to move orbs

My Dark box consists of dmeta, Hanzo, beach pandora, one Haku, anubis, Finn, chibi lu bu, vritra, hamal, castor, and Loki. Some other random stuff around as well.
As far as mp, I think I can get there, but I might have to scrape a bit. Not a lot of doubles so I’d have to pick and choose carefully.
LikeLike
Hmm, well your dark box is mostly subs and no true leader. You still have 2 weeks to gather MP (could farm Rogues) and that may help alleviate some of the strain.
I would be loathe to sell Claire as she is just so rare, but then again, her active is not the most helpful unless a new meta emerges
LikeLike
I went through my box a bit with a more critical eye as far as what I’m likely to use and not use. I can get up to 179k mp or so. And I only need 150.

So I already have a hypermax Lakshimi and a near hypermax team for her (Orochi / Gabriel / Nut / Andromeda), and then I rolled beach volleyball Lakshimi. I’m debating if its worth investment to switch to that Lakshimi, since the damage shield seems really, really tempting. But I have definitely struggled enough matching rows of hearts, especially against combo shields, with Lakshimi, so that could definitely be an issue…
LikeLike
Well, the volleyball lakshmi has more survivability but less damage. So the question comes down to what is more important to you
Conversley, you can pair with a beach Myr for a higher multiplier, more shielding, and +2 seconds time extend.
So it comes down to can you play heart crosses as pairing with Beach Myr is favourable instead of another Lakshmi

Thus, purchasing ra dragon is a worthy investment as you have a nearly perfect team for him provided you enjoy the rainbow playstyle =)

I was hoping for Urd, Lakshmi, Meimei, Goemon, Navi, Armadel, and the stickergirls. I got everything but Urd from what I wanted so I’m very happy about that. I have a question about the Beach Meimei I pulled. I have a A. Bastet team and was wondering if Green Beach Meimei is better than Verdandi for the team. Current team is Osiris, Verdandi, 2 Vishnu. Thank you very much for all your advice.

Congrats on your pulls!
As for BMeimei vs Verd, Verd is superior due to the heart generation. Being able to heal and deal damage is far more important than extra orb enhances

There is a spot metatron does hold over isis, she gets that extra SBR and extra skill boost and you can also make a row of hearts to clear binds. This works out well on a full sumire team – 1 so you can have all skills up on turn 1. So if you get her and tons of sumires you got a decent team. 😛

How’s it going Mantastic?
I was just wondering how a Sherias Roots would fit on a DQXQ team. The 2 extra time extends and the excellent active would be a welcome sight on the team, not to mention the god killer bonus.
For reference my team would look as such:
Awoken DQXQ
Awoken Apollo
Awoken Sakuya
Super Ult Raphael
Sherias Roots
Any feedback would be great man!

I think you’re severely undervaluing relaxshmi who has nearly the same power as Myr, and intermediate damage for when the shield goes down. Her flexibility to pair with blue myr, sumire, or even regular Myr may make her the strongest lead in the collab. She has a respectable 6.25x with no shield, and up to 39x with dual leads. Her subs are as flexible as they come, since you really only need the leads to make crosses. Ideally, gabe and andro can do additional heart lifting, and you can add sumire or nut for extra time if you’re struggling. Throw in an unbindable bind clear for good measure and you have a top end team with myr’s power and a fallback on trash floors for when the chips don’t land. You lose on shield damage reduction compared to Myr and sumire, but that’s the main downside.
Oh yeah, and you have 2.25 rcv on top of everything else.
Most flexible blue lead to date.

She is flexible, but no where near the power of Myr (even pre-buff)
Lakshmi is vulnerable to binds and if you have to dedicate a sub to bind clearing, that automatically makes your team weaker. Also, the lack of time extends do hurt you. Heart crosses are still challenging to make (along with water rows)
When playing end game content, the non-shield damage is insignificant and her damage caps out lower. She may make mid level content easier as you dont have to heart cross, but that is not the purpose of Myr

You yourself mention that Myr suffers from damage absorb bosses. Lakshmi allows for fine tuned control to handle this situation, and does it with ease.
Technically you don’t need to dedicate a sub to bind clearing, since several decent blues have unbindable bind clear awakenings (and you’re producing hearts). There are also many, including Lakshmi and andro, that have bindable bind clear awakenings and make hearts, so if you’re not looking at leader binds, you’re fine.
I don’t disagree that Myr is powerful. By all means, I support your opinions on her, but there are some very clear issues w her mechanic and her play style (many of which you’ve enumerated in other posts). I think there is a very justifiable compromise with a ReLaxshmi/BlueMyr team that handles many of these issues.
Also, is your Myr team completely unbindable? If not, you need to deal with that anyway, since Myr can’t clear binds herself, even if she remains unbound. Many people, myself included, simply don’t have 5 unbindable top tier cards to assemble an optimal bind proof team. This means tacking on something to deal with that in one way or another regardless. Yes there are some subs that work perfectly, but the beauty of strategizing around an RNG based REM is to overcome missing pieces with creative solutions. 🙂
As for the time extends, yes I agree 4>1. But at the same time, Lakshmi has a te herself, and many of her obvious subs have them, as well. Having played with her a bit, I think this is not the primary problem with her (it’s the lower % shield).
Your post on her seems to miss the benefits and harps on her being inferior to blue myr, which is not really a fair comparison. We don’t all have 500MP or 8* REM luck!! I do wish I had Blue Myr, as well, but c’est la vie. Can’t have all the cards, I suppose…
If you have ReLax (fully skilled) or have BMyr and a friend with ReLax, try some high end dungeon paired with BMyr and let us know what you think. I’m interested to hear your thoughts after trying it. I hope you’ll find that you can clear high end content in a similar way, with some plusses and some minuses.
Thanks for the opportunity to offer a dissenting opinion, and for all of your efforts to provide a forum on an awesome game!
Cheers.

On a related note, do you have a visual guide/video for heart cross making patterns? I’m finding it helpful to use a couple of three step formations, but I’m pretty sure I’m missing something very basic which would help me a lot. I’m sure you have some Myr videos posted which will cover this by proxy, so could you either point me to the most relevant video or do a quick page showing your most useful/easiest/perhaps obscure patterns?
I think your readers would greatly appreciate such a useful resource relevant to the current meta!
Thanks so much!

No true guide per say; however, this post has 3 Fantastic videos from my stream on clearing Arena 3 (just the highlights) so that should give you a good idea on how to run her more effectively
I have been thinking of how to do one in the near future =)

Wow major changes with the new badge system!! The one that caught my eye is relevant to our discussion. “Unbindable leaders” badge. This is a major boost in utility for leads with bindable bind clear awakenings like panda, andromeda, Lakshmi, etc. Now there is really no need to dedicate a sub, particularly for cards like those that make hearts with their actives! (This is mainly going to boost the power of hero gods.) Other common leaders like Astaroth and Myr may still need to carry bind clearers for bindable subs.
There is also a 1 sec time extend option, which seems helpful for heart cross generation, even on Myr teams.
Changes are moving fast, and the value of each card is constantly in flux! Probably worth posting elsewhere in a dedicated thread, but thoughts?

I agree that the unbindable leaders is the most significant and opens a great deal of flexibility and power to various leaders
