Awoken Liu Bei – Review and Analysis

47 Comments

Introduction

Awoken Liu Bei A Liu Bei has been released in North America and has caused quite the storm with his arrival. However, his true power is not as apparent as other top tier leaders and I want to explore why Liu Bei is relevant and how you go about making a successful team for him.

Liu Bei at a glance

Liu Bei
A Liu Bei
Physical / Attacker
4,125 HP / 1,845 ATK / 103 RCV
816 Total
Wood Row Enhanced Wood Orb Jammer Resist Skill Boost Skill Boost Bind Immune Bind Immune Wood Row

Active Skill:
Dark Heart Arrow Green
Recover 20% Max HP and 2 turn bind clear
10 turn CD

Leader Skill:
2.5x ATK when matching 6 linked wood orbs. Max 4x at 9 orbs. 2x ATK / 2x RCV for Wood on turn skill used
64x ATK / 4x RCV

Sample gameplay

Awoken Liu Bei would normally be a lackluster leader due to the active clause for additional healing and recovery. Granted you would probably be needing an active to match 9 wood orbs, but we have seen from before that skill delays (or in the case of skill binds due to no SBR Skill Lock Resist) can ruin these types of leaders. However, with the introduction of coop, we now have the actives from 10 different monsters as well as their awakenings. As such, Awoken Liu Bei teams are able to form a push button team to farm some of the most challenging content available.

+ Eggs, Videos

[Video] PAD Z Collab VS Push Button Glory

Leave a comment

Introduction

With the advent of coop, there has been a shift towards using Push-Button style teams to quickly farm plus eggs. However, due to the lack of REM subs I can draw upon, I have less options available than some of my higher ranking peers. As such, I decided to draw upon the wondrous powers of my friend, Anita Waffle, to put together a Fantastic team to clear PAD Z Collab.

Video

The actual dungeon clear time was around 73 seconds and an average run yields 4-5 pluses per run equates to very fast plus egg farming

Team

PAD Z Team

The few key points to the team are:

  • Sufficient skill boosts Skill Boost to have Raphael ready on turn 1 (16)
  • Two True Damage nukes for floor 1 and 2
  • Surtr or another Goemon for the final boss floor

Conclusion

Push button teams are quickly becoming the farming teams of the future. Even without perfect teams, even just having the ability to button down one or two floors can save countless amount of time in the long run.

Happy Puzzling!

[Video] Scarlet System vs Hera-Beorc Descended

4 Comments

A Mantastic and Fantastic way to farm for what I hope will be a future Liu Bei A Liu Bei / Zeus-Dios Ult Zeus Dios system team. I sadly lack a Liu Bei on Mantastic so my motivation has been very low in farming for the numerous skilled Zeus-Dios as I will be unable to effectively coop with myself. Regardless, enjoy my Farmable Scarlet Scarlet icon System team making short work of Hera-Beorc Descended:

I will be making a follow up post as to why there has been such hype around Liu Bei / Zeus-Dios system teams. For now, I continue to play with myself using my Scarlet System.

Miru – The Most Anticipated Farmable Monster Review and Analysis

80 Comments

Introduction

Dermatologists hate her! Farmable monster discovers the secret formula for the most Fantastic anti-aging cream that has even the most GungHo players all riled up with excitement. But seriously, Miru Miru is perhaps the first monster who actually gets younger with each evolution. How is this possible? Perhaps the secret is consuming the essence of Nordis Nordis and the angelic spirit of Elia Elia along with a whole host of other challenging to acquire evolution materials. Regardless, Miru is the most anticipated farmable monster since the inception of Zaerog Infinity Z8 as she is capable of forming a top tier team with amazing flexibility that can clear the highest tier of content PAD has to offer.

If you are looking for strategies for clearing her Descends, please refer to my other post HERE for my videos of my DQXQ Awoken DQXQ, Blue Sonia Blue Sonia, and Dark Metaron dtron clears.

Leader Skill:

49x ATK / 75% damage reduction

Sample gameplay

Miru has a unique playstyle and is one of the few leaders to utilize the heart-cross formation to deal damage. Furthermore, the extensive additional time to move orbs allows you to fully set up your board. Miru has been heavily utilized by the Japanese player base and Reco showcases his wizardly skills in this solo Arena 1 clear:

The Four Gentlemen Series: A Comparison and Analysis

43 Comments

Introduction

With the release of the Xiu Min Xiu Min, North American players now have a total of ten, 300,000 Monster Point cards to choose from. The first six are relatively well-known and how they fit in the current meta. However, The Four Gentlemen are still relatively new and many players are wondering who is best the best to purchase. As such, I wish to compare and contrast Xiang Mei Xiang Mei, Xin Hua Xin Hua, You Yu You Yu, and Xiu Min Xiu Min. This article will not go into extensive depth of each card and I encourage you to read my previous postings dedicated to each of them if you require team building, latent, and inheritance advice:

Descends, Farmable Monster Points, Videos

[Video] Awoken DQXQ VS Mythic Plus Linthia Descended

4 Comments

Introduction

Keeping with the trend of being able to record quality videos, I decided to showcase how I have been farming Mythic Plus Linthia Descended for the Dubmythlits (who never drop in Friday dungeon), 500 Monster Points via the PreDRAs Fire PreDRA, plus eggs (when 10x), rank experience, and the boss drop, and Linthia Linthia. Linthia Descended is normally a challenging encounter as she preemptively disables your awoken skills for 5 turns and hits incredibly hard. I used to farm her with my Blue Sonia Blue Sonia team; however, I transitioned over to Awoken DQXQ Awoken DQXQ due to higher damage and no type restriction.

Video

Please ignore the brief interruption at the end as my visiting Dad is overzealous and impatient to be let inside….

Strategy

With any Mythic Plus Rogue Descend, you need to have a reliable way to deal with the PreDRAs Fire PreDRA and for Linthia, you should bring a delay to help handle the preemptive awakenings bind. For myself, I like to not use my delay on the first turn and instead use a shield/damage mitigation to stall out a few turns to give myself a large room for error in case I do not one shot the final boss.

When dealing with the PreDRAs, you should try to have the opposite player sweep the previous floor to ensure the correct player takes their turn to eliminate them without wasting a pass turn.

In an ideal world, I would like to use Awoken Apollo Awoken Apollo to override the wood skyfall, but sometimes it is not always possible.

Collateral benefits of farming for Dubmythlits =)

Conclusion

Hopefully this video is informative and provides some inspiration on how to tackle Linthia Descended along with using an Awoken DQXQ team.
