Introduction
I used to do this type of post series and thought it was time to bring it back. The general gist of Question Time posts are for players to ask various PAD-related questions that do not have a simple/Google-able answer. With that being said, there will be some restrictions on the types of questions I will be answering.
Another reason why I want to revive this type of posting at this point in time is because I am currently suffering from variuos physical health problems which makes it challenging to sit down and write longer articles.
Do’s and Don’t
The following types of questions will not be answered by me either because it has a simple Google-able answer or shows a lack of effort on the reader’s part:
- Anything that PADGuide/Padx can answer
- A link to your entire Monster Box and saying “make me a team”
For the most part, almost any other question will be answered, even some non-obtrusive Off-Topic ones; however, it is best to ask questions that require explanation/why/my personal opinion. The following examples are Fantastic types of questions to ask:
- Of these options, what is the best Yusuke team I can make for Arena 3?
- What direction do you think GH will take with the new 10c awakening?
- Can row teams be revived and if so, how?
Conclusion
I hope my viewers use this opportunity to ask questions that will hopefully improve their overall game play and progression.
On a side note, hopefully things settle down and I can resume my strange normal life.
Happy Puzzling!

Hey Mantastic,
As a long time twitch sub and follower, I love your content and the streams. Hope your health improves soon, I’m rooting for ya 🙂
But my question is what type of team do you enjoy playing (ie Row, combo, cheese, rainbow, etc…) and who is your favorite leader of that type?

Thank you for all of your support over the years!
As for my favourite type of team, I often find myself enjoying Meri’s playstyle. It is still essentially combos, but being forced to think about where to place the row along with managing orbs/HP made her enjoyable to play. Some of my fondest memories of her was farming Colo when it was first released

7c

Outside of the 1-2-3 method and understanding cascades, it comes down to practice
I do not know how much time you spend examining a board before matching, but try taking an extra 10s to simply count out the maximum possible combos along with colour distribution as a given board has 7-8 on average
As for farming magic stones, it will be tri-monster challenge once everything is cleared. It is hard to really “farm” stones as there is a fixed limit so it comes down to login bonuses and special limited time events

Hey there. I’ve only been following you for about a year, but I really enjoy your content. Thank you for making it all.
Do you think Gungho will ever shift away from the combo meta? What kind of revised multis should be put on row and tpa awakenings to revive those metas, and do you think that’ll happen? And how much longer do you think the NA server has?
LikeLike
GH is dipping somewhat into the no skyfall + leave xyz number of orbs on the board through Amen/Kaede but that is still a mostly combo play style
I feel that rows can be powerful but they need a leader who can truly carry them. That leader would need a much higher defensive multiplier (something greater than 2.25x HP/RCV and maybe dmg reduction) to justify their orb hungriness along with possibly boosting the dmg from row awakenings to keep abreast with multiple 7c cards.
There is just too much power in double/triple 7c cards that it is hard to keep up for anyone else
As for the NA server, it appears to be going strong with GHNA hiring more people along with increasing their social media presence.

Right now, I’m loving yusuke since I can blast through everything. I was wondering if you could be me some insight on whether I should use indra or orpharion on my team that currently consists of: yusuke, alphonse, tachi, and odindra. If it helps, I’m rank 580 and trying to consistently farm A3. Thanks for your input!
LikeLike
Orpharion does not do much for your team in an Arena 3 setting as the dungeon is long enough that you can safely stall up for actives. The only exception would be if you wanted to bring a specific inherit on someone with a short base cooldown. Orpharion is preferred in shorter dungeons where the 3 (or 4 with Super awakening) Skill Boost can come into play
On the other hand, running Indra as a sub will enable you to shield on a regular basis and has a similar stat distribution compared to Orpharion

I wrote this in March 2017 (https://mantasticpad.com/2017/03/06/how-to-research-and-plan-for-a-dungeon-puzzledragonsx-padguide/) and not too much has changed overall
The main gist is finding what are “problematic” mechanics
These include but not limited to:
Preemptives (mostly large damage hits)
Binds (leader or subs)
Absorbs/voids (colour or excess damage)
Resolves
Skill Delays
Combo shields
Orb changers
High HP or high Defense for the bosses
Execution zones/Largest reasonable hit
Once those have been found, it becomes a manner of finding counters to them.
Top tier leaders like Yusuke already handles most of these on his own which greatly eases team building

LikeLike
Tardis teams have one of the easiest 100x damage available and that should be sufficient for a2 content assuming you have access to a burst active for the Kalis
Main issue is building a team to counter the various dungeon mechanics so that means having FUA (comes from verd), delay (can be on your Tardis as an inherit), and shield. Ofc that is a generalization list but those tend to be what are required for the most part

My current tardis inherit is that 100% shield 2x for Green and dark. My biggest problem besides bind ability was the major damage from verds board changer with no fire elements on my team

You can always use an orb changer in conjunction with Verdandi to produce a 2/3 wood board
This was a popular strat when row teams were meta

Hey mantastic,
I was wondering how viable you think the new kaede is for current/future content (assuming I’m not using her to farm). I currently have a green cotton for her team but am tempted to change her into a blue or light cotton for yusuke. Personally I find kaede really fun to play but ultimately not very stable. I rather appreciate the short cd orb change cotton provides for the team and I’m not sure if changing her out for Sylvie will cripple my team or not. On my yusuke team I’m using Alphonse for my fua and while his active is sometimes useful it is quite a lot longer to inherit over compared to cotton. Should I change my cotton color?
LikeLike
I would not change your colour of Cotton for Kaede, especially considering you have Yusuke who wants either Light or Blue Cotton. Sylvie is also amazing for her due to the fact that a tri-elemental board changer will almost always result in full activation
Kaede functions like Amen-lite in that she has a much easier time activating her main source of damage as leaving 6 orbs is quite easy (an 8c board already does that) along with being able to match any number of combos
Sadly, the double wood combo aspect is problematic but clearing a given board results in wood orbs falling down most of the time
Main issue with Kaede is no defensive multiplier so stalling or surviving is problematic.
LikeLike
I was also wondering where you think gung-ho can push the meta in the future. With combo shields and 7c/10c awakenings being so dominant in the meta currently, what new mechanic do you think could be introduced to freshen things up? Rows and tpa seem quite dead and even if new content removes combo shields from being a dominant mechanic, they still lose out in terms of consistency. Shape matching (ie cross teams) are the only thing I can think of atm, but given that it’s my least favorite mechanic in the game I’m wondering what other directions you can think of for the game. (does anyone else miss just popping ronia+kingbaddie to win?)
LikeLike
In order for rows to be revived (which I want as I do enjoy that playstyle) is releasing a leader who has both durability and damage
With that being said, durability is the most important aspect as row teams must stall for orbs and by having something that is better than 2.25x HP/RCV would be needed imo
Also, rows cannot use FUA which makes it more problematic so there needs to be something better than the FUA2 which is pretty horrible overall. If FUA2 was a different shape maybe things could work out

Hey Mantastic! I have actually been reading your articles for I believe well over a year now and I absolutely love all of your opinions as it helps me consider form my teams and strategies in a dungeon.
My question revolves around my favorite card which is Okuninushi. His Revo form recently came out I believe a month ago here in NA and I couldn’t have been happier. I wanted to know your thoughts on him and how would exactly would you build your team around him? I focus as much on the 7C awakening as I got him a second for his super awakening. Thanks so much for taking the time for this!!
LikeLike
Main issue with Oku is that he is a combo leader with a conditional damage reduction/defensive multiplier.
This makes him fall behind other flashier options as a large part of his multiplier is also tied to forming two dark combos.
This colour restriction also somewhat limits his team building options as you will be favouring dark orb changers. In addition, I feel his active is a bit lackluster as the additional damage burst is so low already and makes his cd longer than it should. The SA do help close the gap but you can only have 1 and both unbindable and 7c are desirable
LikeLike
Hello Mantastic. Ever since i got Anubis I’ve been able to clear much more content but sometimes i get worried by the lack of skill boost of my team. Do you think the rise of 7c cards has replaced subs/teams needing a comfortable number of SB? Especially when tackling longer dungeons where trickier spawns appear earlier.
LikeLike
The need for SB is basically done on a dungeon by dungeon basis but with longer content like A4/AA, they are less important as you will have at worst one active ready by the second turn. With that being said, a lack of SB is a large problem for Anubis teams
High SB cards like Whaledor, Orpharion, and Nohime tend to play a larger role in the shorter challenges we have such as the Eternal Jail of the Devil King. For those I tend to customize the team for the dungeon. Anubis can def run through those but you will have to have a high SB card ready to counter the various mechanics

Unless you own Paimon, Light cotton, Tachibana, or other light cards, I’d say you shouldn’t, as those cards mentioned are pretty valuable GFE, also no, You Yu is a bad Yusuke sub since not being a light card would mean he wouldn’t get 1.5x stats, meaning he’s only gonna hit with a 100x multiplier

I laugh at the thought of Beach Anubis! However, if I were to choose one, he would most likely be Halloween as it is most fitting for his lore
Anubis does not need 7c/10c awakenings himself as the multiplier deals so much damage (and a single sub or two can carry) that he needs more Skill Boosts
Running Tardis and Anubis results in 1 SB for 2/6 cards and places constraints on what kind of inherits can be brought

I recently ready your comboing guides and realized you are at least an order of magnitude faster at moving orbs than me. So a few questions on catching up:
*Is a stylus a must?
*What level of pre planning do you have before you start to move? Ie. do you plan your full path ahead of time? or do you recognize patterns and adjust? Or do you choose which groupings will end up where ahead of time and adjust how to get them there as you move?
*playing on a full-sized iPad, is it too big to move effectively?
LikeLike
Good questions and I’m an average combo player, so I would love to hear Mantastic’s take on those questions. I can say that my combo-ing skills increased greatly when I used a stylus. Now I can’t really play without one. If you do decide to use a stylus, make sure it has a mesh fiber tip, not just rubber, as it will glide much easier.
LikeLike
I agree on the mesh fiber tip and I currently use the PAD Supen
LikeLike
I used to use my finger but it became damage/injured and never healed despite not using it for months at a time. Both finger and stylus work and is a manner of personal preference overall
In regards to planning, I tend to examine the board and prethink where and what colours section 1 and some of section 2 are (the outermost section 2 combo) and simply fill in the blanks from there. Being able to move fast helps compensate as i can correct mistakes as needed or even pause mid combo to think
In the cases where I need to play perfectly, I will mentally count out the combos available and their distribution (eg. 2 fire, 1 water, etc.) and then figure out where they belong
Simply taking the time to count them out and plan at least section 1 makes a world of a difference
As for playing on a full sized iPad, I feel that is too big and my personal preference is the iPad mini (or something of that size)

LikeLike
Well I guess a more appropriate question to ask is “from your experience, how often the best leader skills and subs become the norm?”
LikeLike
Leaders tend to have less staying power compared to subs due to the fact that the awakenings meta has not changed much
For example, Cotton will be one of the best subs for a long time to come (unless GH directly makes a card better than her) as she covers so many key aspects at this point in time. On the flipside, making a FUA card with 3 7c is far too strong/big jump and will probably not happen for the foreseeable future
By comparison, a leader tends to be powercreeped out as it is easier for GH to simply increase the number values by small amounts (eg going from 64 -> 81x ATK) but going from two 7c to three is a massive jump

Hi there!
In your opinion who is the best leader, between Haku, Yog and Kaede and why.
Also, is the no skyfalls a better option to go for end game content?
LikeLike
Haku is a poor leader overall due to a very low multiplier
Yog fulfills the role of easy to activate and explosive damage for what are generally short and predictable dungeons
Kaede has more damage output and functions like a lesser Amen
Both Kaede and Yog are strong for certain content and are well worth investing in
As for no skyfalls, they used to be helpful for damage control, but with the release of FUA, VDP, and Fujin style actives, having no skyfalls caps your damage output and is less helpful at the moment

Hunter/acala/acala/odindra/fujin/hunter something like that maybe?

Double coop boost is just a bit more than a single 7c from a damage POV and BH needs cards with 2 or 3 to deal sufficient damage. The added bulk from multiboost is nice but BH already has enough bulk for the most part

Hi Mantastic, hope you feel better soon I’ve been following for years now and your guides have helped me catch back up after a break. Sadly during my break I missed out on a good FUA card. I’m trying to imitate your a4 anubis x diablos team and I have anubis, yusuke, odin dragon, tardis, but am missing a solid FUA option. The other team I have is a standard yusuke team.
Currently I’m using Aten for my FUA on both of those teams. My other options are aten, norn skuld, ryune, and norn vernandi. My question for you is what card do you think I should be going for to round out my team. I’ve missed amatsu and cotton in the past but don’t mind purchasing rolls for the right opportunity. Saria or cotton maybe? The rates just look very disheartening but if those are my best bets in your opinion I would go for them.

Cotton is the next best FUA option after Amatsu in the vast majority of cases but it would be best to wait for a Super Godfest or equivalent to pursue
You have Skuld and she is actually quite a strong FUA option due to double 7c and generous HP. As such, you should be fine for the meantime.
Putting Skuld on your Anubis/Diablos team will lose out on the guard break but is a pretty well rounded team otherwise
For those high def spawns, popping Skuld’s board changer and making TPA may pierce through those high def spawns

Hi Mantastic. I am looking for some help regarding the evolution of my Cotton.
I mostly play 2-player, using Blue Hunter. However, both my accounts recently got Yusuke, so I plan to main that team. When I play solo, I mostly play Anubis/Diablos. I recently evolved Gronia, Blonia and Kaede so those are also options (only for solo because I do not have for my sub account).
My Cotton is currently Green Cotton. I made this Cotton because I got evolved Gronia before getting my Yusuke. I am struggling between changing her to Light Cotton or Blue Cotton for Yusuke. I know your Yusuke team building article says that Light is stronger. But I was also trying to consider the evolution that would give the most value for as many of my other teams as possible.
My team builds are the following:
Yusuke Main: Yusuke/Yuna (Indra Inherit)/Odindra/Blue Tachi/Cotton (Nene Inherit)
Yusuke Sub: Yusuke/Odindra/Aife/Blue Cotton (Ivory Ice Inherit)/FLEX
The Cotton in question is for my main account. Alternatively, I can keep my Cotton green, in which case I would be using Paimon or Momiji for FUA.
Gronia: Gronia/Odindra/Ragdra/Ragdra/Cotton
Without Green Cotton, my best FUA is Rushana.
Blonia: Blonia/Blonia/Karin/Revo Andro/FLEX
Without Blue Cotton, I do not have an on point FUA.
I think that Light Cotton’s RCV would be beneficial for both Blue Hunter and Yusuke. Blue Cotton, however, would also help Blonia and if I wanted to use Cotton on Anubis (which generally needs HP).
My priorities for teams are Yusuke, Blue Hunter and Anubis/Diablos. I would love to hear how you would approach this.
Thanks so much and thank you for all your great content.
LikeLike
You have pretty much named all the pros and cons for all your cottons. But with that being said, your Yusuke team is easily your strongest option and the fact that you can play with both your main and alt is a huge selling point. Furthermore, your Yusuke team is still amazing in solo mode for the various challenges (eg Satan campaign) so I would honestly focus there
This does mean losing out on your Gronia team (which is quite solid) but she has far less potential overall compared to Yusuke
My main question is, what kind of content do you currently clear and how much HP do your Yusuke team have in solo and coop (you can pseudo math/guess it a team building app) as I am curious if you can hit any specific HP threshold for AA.
Lastly, why is Momiji being used on your alt? Can you use anything else? Perhaps an Orpharion for both the HP and better base active. See if an Orpharion can push your HP high enough as well and also see if inherits make it high enough, even for DQ Hera
LikeLike
Hi Mantastic. Thank you for the response. I agree that my focus should be on the Yusuke team.
The highest content that I have cleared is A3. I have been procrastinating on the higher dungeons but would like to attempt them in the near future.
The team stats you asked for are the following:
Main Team:
Light Cotton Version: Yusuke/Odindra/Blue Tachi/Light Cotton/Yuna/Yusuke
(Inherits: Zeus Verse/Odin Weapon/None/Unevolved Nene/Indra/Zeus Verse)
HP: 71,729 / RCV: 11,845
Blue Cotton Version: Yusuke/Odindra/Blue Tachi/Blue Cotton/Yuna/Yusuke
(Inherits: Zeus Verse/Odin Weapon/None/Unevolved Nene/Indra/Zeus Verse)
HP: 77,613 / RCV: 9,939
The actual stats for both versions will be slightly higher because they do not reflect some of the inherits, which I am still working on. The numbers do not reflect any badge modifier.
Sub Team (this one is pretty much set):
Yusuke/Odindra/Aife/Momiji/Blue Cotton/Yusuke
(Inherits: Zeus Verse/Odin Weapon/None/Ivory Ice/None)
HP: 71,169 / RCV 9,147
I have been going around and around on whether to make Blue Cotton or Light Cotton. With Light Cotton, both my Blue Hunter team and Yusuke team will have an easier time recovering from a large gravity (sometimes this has been a pain when there are not a lot of hearts on the board). With Blue Cotton, I get more HP and it would be a better fit for other teams like Blonia and possibly my other main solo team, Anubis/Diablos.
Based on these numbers, is there a specific HP or RCV threshold you would favor? If it comes down to preference, which would you choose if you were in my shoes and why? I am just curious how you would think about it and come to a conclusion.
I really, really appreciate all your help!

RCV is the most important stat assuming you can survive the largest reasonable hit
In A4 no such thing really exists for Yusuke teams as the preemptives are small enough to tank naturally
On the other hand, Alt Arena has stupidly large preemptives and being able to survive either of them saves a shielding active skill
The two are:
Goemon (f13) 145,185
DQ Hera (f18) 136,440
If using Blue Cotton on your Yusuke team and are able to survive either of these, it is worth going for that evolution. Otherwise, Light Cotton is a superior choice for Yusuke teams
With that being said, Blue Cotton is much better universally, esp for your Blonia and Anubis/Diablos teams
Check the HP in coop with your two teams and see if the Blue Cotton makes enough of a difference

Which is better in multiplayer? Yog or Yusuke? I always use yog if I can in 3 player myself.

It all depends on the dungeon and your own team set up. What do you usually play with?

The main idea with Yog is that you can match more easily as two Light combos is easier than matching 7c
With that being said, Yusuke is much safer and can recover from bad situations more easily

It is true that yog is royally hosed when it needs a board change and a heal and you are out of subs that do both

Hey mantastic!
I’ve been having fun with some bicolor leads recently, especially Ney. That said, why is blue ney considered the most viable lead out of everyone? Isn’t it the same multiplier? Is it solely based on blues having lots of 7c? Does that mean if I have more light 7c then I should run light ney instead of blue ney? Thanks!

Not quite sure where you see that Blue Ney is the better leader, all the Neys are mediocre as leaders. They tend to be better subs than leads

You once used blue ney for a one shot challenge. Also, for your review on the neys, it was the only one you put as a possible leader.

Oh I just had blue Ney as I used her for a bit as a sub. Perhaps a while ago there was skuld as the primary FUA option but with cotton all colours can do well.

Hey mantubular
I was wondering what type of subs go on a madoo team. Some examples would be nice. She’s hella fun, but my red cards aren’t that good. Much thanks

Her evolved form is what you should be using and any fire card with 7c is ideal as that is the best way to boost damage
Just remember, you can match any connected 5 and fully activate

I am puzzled at the moment, I have a 3768 Yearning Blue Dragonbound Ryune, and I can’t seem to unevolve her to get to mega awoken Ryune….. puzzledragonx is confusing as well. Any ideas?
