Introduction

The Puzzle and Dragons community covers a wide range of platforms to inform, entertain, and educate the player base. All the subsequently mentioned resources are well worth a look as they provide content or points of view that differ from mine.

I plan on continuously updating this list every few months to keep you up to speed on the latest resources in the PAD community. I have also duplicated this post in my drop down menu at the top under Classic Help Guides. Let me know if I missed anyone and I will edit accordingly.

The ordering within each category is in no particular order; however, I place new additions to the list at the top to better help drive traffic to them. Furthermore, I try to categorize community members by their most notable platform, even if they have other mediums.

Video commentary

—–Video goes here—-

 Discord

Discord is a text and voice chat platform that tends to be utilized by gamers. However, they are far more powerful than a simple chat room as they can help facilitate matchmaking, possess in-depth strategy guides, and help bring the community together. If you have not already, I highly encourage you to download and install Discord on your mobile device and/or desktop.

 Awoken Liu Bei Server *New*

Liu Bei has quickly emerged to become the premier farming leader for the average player. Unfortunately, his relevancy is reliant on coop and you will actually have to find a partner and the ALB Discord Server is the best place to find them. Not only do they post strategy guides for all relevant dungeons, but you can quickly find a like-minded individual and button to your heart’s content.

 Puzzle and Dragons Carry Server *New*

Looking to clear content that is beyond your normal means? Why not let someone else do all the heavy lifting! The PAD Carry Server is filled with wonderful people who are willing to help carry kind individuals through challenging content. They also have detailed guides should you wish to try and replicate them with your friends.

 Puzzle and Dragons Community Server *New*

The PAD Community Discord Server is the largest Puzzle & Dragons server in North America, with over 13,000 unique users. Players have up to 20 channels dedicated to specific types of in-game content that can be cleared in multiplayer mode so that all players can quickly and effectively find a willing partner. Players also regularly participate in meta discussions, Monster Box help discussions, and more in their free time. A dedicated Mod/Trusted Advice team of veteran players volunteer 24/7 to help maintain the server and to provide assistance and mentorship to players of all skill levels

 Blogs

For those who enjoy written content, the following sites should satisfy your craving for all things PAD related. Unfortunately, all of them appear to be somewhat on hiatus until further notice.

 gl1tch3d *New*

gl1tch3d is a new player in the blog medium and is responsible for the majority of the theory crafting behind the PAD Carry Discord Server. gl1tch3d’s content revolves around creating accessible carry strategies that abuse the game mechanics and turns them in your favour. In addition, you can also find 100% farmable B sides for various dungeons and can help propel your game forward with a fresh approach to end game content.

In addition to the carry guides, he also dabbles in leader guides and efficient farming guides. Definitely worth the read and bookmark.

 Setsu

Setsu has been contributing to the Puzzle and Dragons community for several years and his most popular post is his JP Aggregate Tier List. This list helps weigh several popular JP site rankings to produce a more consistent ranking for the most popular leaders in Puzzle and Dragons. In addition, he does include Godfest help and Collab REM. They also play the game at a very high level (rank 900+) and provides inspiration in tackling the hardest content PAD has to offer in the most efficient manner available.

To help bridge the gap during his break, other notable community members including the cascading wizard Tevvie, Nez, and Pi will be publishing articles from time to time.

 Soranopad

Soranopad is the most prominent English blogger that plays on the JP server. This gives the NA population a chance to see JP content played (and translated) in a way we can all understand. A great place to get ahead of the curve and anticipate what new trends will be dominating the PAD scene once they come overseas.

Currently on break.

 YouTube

PadRagnarok is also an avid streamer on Twitch along with diving into the written content medium through his website.

He tries to keep the stream light-hearted and engaging by utilizing a variety of leads to reduce monotony as well as actively reading chat and interacting with his audience. He lives in Toronto so his streams tend to be more East Coast friend. Finally, HanzoPAD promises to do a sexy Hanzo cosplay one day.
