Godfest basics
When making the decision to roll or save your magic stones, you need to determine if the featured pantheons can benefit or compliment your teams. Chasing for one specific monster is unwise as you will most likely be disappointed and should ideally have Godfests that overlap with many target cards. Remember all monsters that come out of the REM will qualify for Skill Inheritance so do not be too hasty when selling dupes. For a more detailed team building help, please refer to my full list Popular Leader’s and their Full Sub List Post. Lastly, to find more information about a specific pantheon or monster, refer to my Master List to better refine your search. If you are considering to purchase a Four Gentlemen card, please read my Review and Comparison HERE.
Introduction
To mark the 11 million downloads in North America, GungHo is throwing a modestly more special Godfest to mark this occasion. We have been experiencing 4x GFE for quite some time now and with only a smattering of 5x to try and entice us. However, these increased rates do not appear to be any more special than Godfests of old due to the significantly larger REM pool. It is my understanding (I could be wrong) that with each new pantheon (or GFE) added, the rates to roll a particular card go down. Thus, the increased rates are merely there to keep abreast with this “inflation.”
Regardless, this Godfest features a reasonable line up along with +33 to each roll (+11 to each stat).

Day 1
Day 1 features both the powerful Heroes pantheon and poorly aging Egyptian 2. Presently speaking, the Hero series remains one of the strongest due to the prevalence of the heart cross meta along with offering powerful orb changers that help any mono-colour team. Being able to heal and deal damage simultaneously is crucial to success in high tier content. Furthermore, they all possess syngergistic awakenings that help row-based teams along with high weighed stats.
On the other hand, the Egyptian 2 pantheon is in an awkward place as none of them posses an awoken evolution along with not having an ideal home for them as none of them lead powerful teams. Their active skills are somewhat unique, but no not grant them a best in slot status for any particular team. However, this can all change with an awoken evolution as it will revamp their current active and leader skill.
In regards to the featured GFE, I feel that Day 1 is superior as it features all the top-tier 6* with the inclusion of Dark Kali 
, Kanna 
, and Kaede 
. I value these cards higher solely based on the fact that they are instrumental to success on the current strongest teams.
Hero Gods |
|
| jjjjjjjjMonsterjjjjjjjjj | Notes |
| Yamato God / Dragon / Attacker      —       8 turn CD |
Yamato was initially famous for his 3 skill boost awakenings as this helps guarantee your actives are ready to use by turn 1. However, he still makes for a stellar mono-fire sub due to his 3 fire row enhances. This makes him best suited on Krishna  as ideal teams try to stack rows for optimal damage. However, if you are fortunate enough to roll rare Collab cards, Christmas Gremory  and Yamamoto  teams could both significantly benefit from a Yamato or two.
In addition to providing a valuable active that generates fire and enhanced heart orbs, Yamato has combo synergy with Leilan Finally, Yamato brings a soft bind clear to your mono fire teams through his heart generating active and recover bind |
| Andromeda God / Healer / Physical     8 turn CD |
Andromeda remains one of the best mono water subs available and is used on essentially every team due to her powerful active, awakenings, and high base stats.
Andromeda is able to provide 40% skill bind resist coverage along with three rows and a single TPA. Furthermore, like Yamato, she can act as a soft bind clearer through a row of hearts. Her healer and physical typing provide a healthy amount of defensive stats and her triple typing allows her to be used on Neptune Dragon Perhaps the only major downside is a lack of natural board change synergy as you would either have to use Summer Urd |
| Perseus God / Balance / Dragon  —- 8 turn CD |
Perseus is a powerful mono wood row card as he has the rarely seen 2 SBR and 2 time extend awakenings. These greatly ease team building along with providing you with ample time to match your numerous wood rows. Unfortunately, wood row teams are not very popular at the moment and his best fit would be on Awoken Liu Bei  teams.
Awoken Liu Bei is considered the strongest coop leader as he is able to form an effortless push button team. Unfortunately, the lack of SBR on the core team members can leave you vulnerable to skill binds. This is where Perseus comes into play along with having a reasonable orb change combo when paired with Liu Bei. You can still use Perseus as a sub on TPA wood teams such as Kaede |
| Sun Wukong God / Physical / Healer  —- 8 turn CD |
Sun Wukong remains one of the strongest mono light cards available due to his active, awakenings, and high base stats. His heart generating active helps provide a steady stream of important orbs along with the potential to clear 3 turns of binds through his recover bind awakening.
The ability to act as a soft bind clearer in coop is invaluable as you can rely on your partner absorbing the binds and having you clear them without dedicating a sub/active slot this task. Presently speaking, Wukong is one of the strongest subs available for Myr |
| Awoken Pandora Devil / Physical  —- + haste9 CD — Bankai Pandora  God / Devil / Healer —- 8 turn CD |
To help you better chose which Pandora is right for you, please read my comparison post. Regardless of which evolution you choose, Pandora is an amazing monster as her active spawns dark and heart orbs. This can be used in conjunction with Zuoh  to form a 2/3 dark orb board. Furthermore, her awakenings combine both power and utility and is welcomed on essentially every dark team. You can combine her heart making with a horizontal row of hearts to trigger 3 turns of bind removal through and is one of the few options for removing binds on dark based teams. Granted Pandora can be bound, but it is at least an option.
Despite the fact that Awoken Pandora used to be one of the strongest leaders in the game, it should not distract you from the fact that she is still a powerful leader. You can still clear plenty of content through her dark-devil team. However, many players have been shifting their focus to using her as a sub. Presently speaking, Gremory |
Day 2
For a long time, the Norse Gods reigned supreme as the best option for damage enhancement as they could provide 2x damage for two turns. However, with the introduction of the Armoured Knight and Gemstone series, the Norses have lost their edge. 2x damage enhancement is powerful, but pales in comparison to the Gemstone princesess and while the Norse have better sub potential, most players choose to inherit their enhancers instead. Inheriting your enhance allows you to choose which awakenings you want on your team along with being able to use a different active should the dungeon be exceptionally long. Perhaps one notable benefit for the Norse Gods is the double SBR awakenings that greatly ease team building constraints in solo mode.
On the other hand, the Sengoku (Samurai) pantheon remains one of the stronger ones due to their powerful and unique active skills. All of them feature dual purpose actives that allow you to do two different mechanics at once. This is crucial in high end content as you need to maximize your active skills and the Sengoku can allow you to bring one less ability. Their new ultimate evolutions also allow them to be used as viable subs on their respective teams due to their large array of beneficial awakenings.
Unfortunately, the Godfest Exclusive line up more lackluster as it is missing all of the crucial 6-stars required for the top tier teams.
Norse |
|
| jjjjjjjjMonsterjjjjjjjjj | Notes |
| Freyr Attacker / Physical  —- 2x ATK Fire & Water for 2 turns 1 turn haste 12 turn CD |
Freyr is the first of the Norse God series and finally ditched the little pigs in favours of two magnificent swords and a majestic rainbow. Amusing art aside, Freyr is powerful card for augmenting your Firepower. His awakenings bring a healthy mix of offensive and defensive utility and the double SBR eases team building. Unfortunately, there has been a diminished need for damage enhancers as most are now inherited or the teams themselves have large multipliers. In addition, the usage of Sanada  further lowers the need for damage enhancement.
As a leader, Freyr pairs wonderfully with Raoh Through Skill Inheritance, Awoken Freyr is able to be used as an assistant for both fire and water teams. |
| I&I Physical / Devil —- 2x ATK Water & Dark for 2 turns 1 turn haste 12 turn CD |
Awoken Idunn&Idunna doubles both your fun and damage! They are perhaps Puzzle and Dragon’s most loved pair (although DQXQ  is a strong contender) but are somewhat on the decline due to powercreep.
I&I used to be able to form a powerful tank team, but that has been quickly blown out of the water and the overarching need to damage enhancement is lower by comparison. In addition, splitting your offensive awakenings between rows and TPA effectively wastes one of them as most teams only focus on a single matching pattern. Perhaps the best fit would be on a Reincarnated Lakshmi Through Skill Inheritance, Awoken I&I is able to be used as an assistant for both water and dark teams. |
| Freyja Devil / Attacker —- 2x ATK Wood & Dark for 2 turns 1 turn haste 12 turn CD |
Freyja is a viable mono wood option with 3 wood rows and the highly desired two SBR awakenings. Her leadership potential has been outdated for sometime now and instead will be used as an inherit or a sub on Awoken Liu Bei teams. This is not always for the active skill, but instead for the 40% skill bind resistance as it can help you achieve full immunity without compromising your team composition as much a regular sub would.
Through Skill Inheritance, Awoken Freyja is able to be used as an assistant for both wood and dark teams. |
| Thor Devil / Attacker —- 2x ATK Light & Water for 2 turns 1 turn haste 12 turn CD |
Thor is sadly not the hunky beefcake you see flying around in cinemas and his art work may make you cringe upon closer inspection. Poor art and fashion choices aside, Thor is another viable damage enhancing option and has modest leadership potential.
When used as a leader, he pairs wonderfully with Saria Through Skill Inheritance, Awoken Thor is able to be used as an assistant for both water and light teams. |
| Loki Physical / Devil —- 2x ATK Dark & Light for 2 turns 1 turn haste 12 turn CD |
Loki is the last of the Norse Gods and has the highly desired Devil typing. This allows him to be fully utilized on Gremory  , Awoken Pandora  and Awoken Lucifer  teams as a powerful 2x damage enhancer.
However, most players are beginning to drop their Pandor and Lucifer teams and Gremory does not require a damage enhance. Thus, Loki is in an awkward place as a sub due to no ideal home. Another interesting aspect of Awoken Loki is his potential as a rainbow sub due to his light and dark enhancement. Many rainbow teams are light heavy and the additional dark coverage and two skill bind resists ease team building constraints while still providing damage enhancement. However, you can simply use his active via Skill Inheritance. |
Conclusion
The 11 Million Downlloads Godfest features two strong and two weak pantheons. It is just is just a shame they decided split the Heroes and Sengoku up into seperate days. The 5x GFE rates do help entice players to roll and from a purely end game perspective, Day 1 is superior from a GFE point of view.
Let me know what you think about this Godfest and which day do you plan on rolling.

Thanks, you are definitely right.
With Yamato, I don’t really have a fire team that would need him per say. The only fire team I have is Tsubaki.

Bought a few stones for day 1 because I really, really wanted a Yamato or an Andromeda. Instead, I pull nothing from the Heroes pantheon and THREE Egyptians. 2nd Set, 3rd Ronove, 2nd Osiris, 3rd LKali, 3rd Sumire, and Hathor. And the card I’m honestly happiest about? Snow White – the only fairy tale girl I didn’t have (and she’s not even in this gala…wat).
Still, Ronove is 15K MP and I’m probably going to find something to shove Set’s and Osiris’ pluses onto…if I don’t sell them too. Hathor’s inheritable gravity is nice to have, I can probably throw a decent Sumire system together for 5×4 dungeons now, and I have more LKalis than I know what to do with. I’d be happier if PCGF and the previous 5x GFE didn’t troll me so hard 😛

Looking for Yamato Takeru and Eschamali on my main… got 3rd LKali (sold for 15k MP), 2nd CaoCao and 2nd Andromeda.

One thing to keep in mind with dupe pantheon gods is their killer forms. Killer awakenings have tremendous value and may be worth considering for the dupe
LikeLike
Well, LKali > silver for sure, at least I’ve got a lot of MP 🙂
As for CaoCao, I’m using an ACaoCao in my Krishna team, which should be more useful between R/G or R/D CaoCao? For sure the killer awakening should be more interesting (R/G is for my old Verdandi team, but I’m thinking of dismantle that team, I’m using Krishna in tricolor dungeons)
LikeLike
I would still stick with Awoken CaoCao over the other options as he has bind immunity which can act as a base for a bind clear along with being able to remove poison orbs.
However, R/D is generally better compared to R/G for row teams

Yeah, ACaoCao with FDK inherit is a staple unbindable bind clearer for me.

Somehow I hoped for a 2nd Kaede, but instead I got Ame no Uzume. So now I have a really strong red bind cleaner.
It is just hard to decide which team to use or (in my case:) to make. ReShiva (I like the playstyle) or ReMinerva (I have the better subs).
Not enough TPA (only Shiva, Set, Urd), but that is not really the point, as Sanadaa and and the few TPA guys sounds enough.
Minerva isn’t able to use Sanadaa (it breaks my heart), but Minerva, Terra, Gadius and Belial sounds legit… also the Arena friendly def and the bind immunity.
Damn, this was easy :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
LikeLike
Generally speaking, Minerva is a better end game leader, but Shiva is easier/faster to play. Both have their merits and they do have some overlap with subs.
Shiva is able to hit around 2m on a single TPA and 7 combo board and that is usually sufficient for most content so not having tonnes of TPA subs is not too detrimental to success.
As for your Minerva team, it looks like it would work well =)
