Introduction
Player’s Choice Godfest used to be the most anticipated Godfest in Puzzle and Dragons. However, with the transition to six-star supremacy, it has left the player base with almost no choice but to vote them in. GungHo does not release rolling data, but it is my understanding that there is not a fixed percentage allocated to PCGF and instead it is the sum of the voted cards.
Hypothetically speaking, if six-stars have a 0.5% chance of being rolled and pantheon gods/five-stars have a 2% chance, we would have a (0.5*11) + (2*14) = 33.5% of rolling a PCGF featured card. Thus, the chances for Gala/troll golds/silvers increases with every voted six-star.
I go into greater detail for Player’s Choice Godfest in my previous article HERE and is worth taking a look at for a breakdown of each voted card.

Rolling videos
All of these rolls were done on my Twitch Stream to add a greater sense of excitement. Unfortunately, the rolls were far less than exciting as only 1 out of 39 rolls was a six-star GFE (Dantalion 
on the account that only collects stones).
The rates are quite distressing overall, but at least I got to spend some quality time with MOMtastic.
MOMtastic’s 11 rolls
—
26 rolls across 4 accounts
Conclusion
Player’s Choice is no longer the amazing Godfest it used to be due to heavy reliance on six-stars and their distressingly low roll rates. We can only hope that GungHo begins to bring Pantheon and five-stars on a more comparable power level. I am not saying it has to be equal, but the size of the gap we have today.
How did your rolls go?
Happy Puzzling!

Hi Mantastic,
Just rolled 16 times and the noteworthy I got were 3 Sanada, 2 Pandora, Krishna, Ronove, Okun, Lucifier and another DQXQ. Which brings me into my question. Would a duel DQXQ with a Saria and Venus (with Red Gadius inherit) be a good sub combination for my Myr team? Just wondering your thoughts. P.S. Love your work and I’m sure everyone that you help out is really grateful.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Saria would make a MUCH better inherit on Venus, if you ever manage to pick up say a Wukong, or even another myr, that could replace Saria in the Sub lineup. Saria simply needs an evolution to be a competitive sub. Red gadius’ active is so troll. Though, he does have a nice body to inherit over, himself.
LikeLike
As mentioned below by skylerknopp, Gadius boards run the risk of orb troll due to 4 elements. Granted you can combo with dqxq, but he is usually my last choice for inherits on Myr.
Do you have any other sub option to run in Saria’s place in order to inherit her on Venus?
LikeLike
I did one rol. Got a Woodbahn, and called it quits.
With Christmas coming up, I want to try and get Christmas Lilith. She should be easier to acquire, but knowing the REM I will probably get Christmas Red Sonia. Christmas Freyja is more likely since Christmas Sonia is a good for skill inheritance.
I think the Gala exclusives (Gemstone Princess , Legendary Heroes) should’ve just been normal pantheon cards.

My first pcgf. I was p unhappy with it, then i let my daughter help flush her christmas present money down the toilet on the last 6 rolls — 3x gfe 6*. Also watching your rolls made me feel a little better >_<
At least i got my beis and sanadas. Is krishna/sanada/sanada/urd/dantalion (idc he's awesome) or a.cao cao or red odin. Good? I need fire skill up dungeons to rotate and the fruits too before i even bother grinding it out.

Your rolls overall were pretty solid as you hit most of the good pantheon cards along with a modest haul of 6*.
For Krishna, I would run Sanada, Sanada, Urd, Cao Cao in the majority of situations. Cao Cao can inherit a bind clear if needed. Just be aware of the somewhat lower rcv on the team so be sure to run the rcv badge.

Hey Mantastic,
I managed to land an Ilm to round out my Ilm-Minerva team, which is supposedly one of the best arena farming teams. However, I’m wondering just how much more consistent that team would be compared to something like Cloud/Cloud/Cloud/Attackerasu/Ilm and if it’s worth the investment.
LikeLike
Well Minerva/Ilm will always have a passive 50% damage reduction to fire/light/dark bosses which tend to be the most common encounters in Arena. You also have a much higher damage output by comparison. You also have more friends to pick from as Cloud is quite niche. So I would say it is worth the effort
LikeLike
Well, I’ve firmly decided to skip this GF. Holding out for Heroines which I expect to hit sometime in January or early February. Meanwhile, my mother who can barely play Minerva pulled her second and third DKali back-to-back in the span of three pulls. Time to experience Ra Dragon vicariously.

Problem with Scheat there are very few teams that can capitalize on the TPA and her low base attack means she will be dealing very little damage on row-oriented teams. She thus becomes a luxury skill inherit in most cases

The TPAs do work on BMyr, but you also have to keep in mind the heart break so you will need to inherit something over top of her

Usually Non-IAP, but I splurged a little as a Christmas treat to myself. Mixed bag for me. I can’t complain, because I did score several very coveted cards, but I’m still chasing after the two that I ree-hee-heaally wanted. And yes, I know you’re not supposed to chase specific cards, but I only had 11 of the 25 featured and was just looking forward to some new things to play with.
What I kept :
DKali (first pull and a huge suprise!)
Andromeda
Acala (dupe)
Liu Bei (dupe)
Pandora x 2 (both dupes, but wanted an extra Panda to begin with)
Haku
Isis (dupe)
Ra x 2 (dupes, but useful)
Chester, for skill inheritance
Sanada
that weird mech elephant looking thing that makes a column of blue
Akechi, but I’m not sure there if is a use for 3 of him.
I won’t get into the troll golds and silvers that I sold back.
I’m pleased about DKali, but I know that Radra teams require 2 of her, so I’m not sure where to use her really. Don’t even know if Acala and Liu Bei work as dupes on their own teams. Psyched about Sanada, but I’m not sure who to replace on my Krishna team, it’s been doing pretty well without him but I know he’s one of the optimal subs for Krishna.
TL;DR, I feel… okay? I probably won’t IAP for the next one, or at all really for a good long while.
