February 28 – March 1 Godfest Overview Plus New Sonia Ultimate Preview

February 27, 2018 Mantastic 20 Comments

Godfest Basics

The format for Godfests has been dramatically changed through their REM Renewal along with Full Disclosure of Rolling Rates. These changes dramatically improve your chances of rolling a specific card as the pool of available monsters is significantly smaller as only a portion of the all possible monsters are featured at a given time. This is great news for players as you are better able to focus your Magic Stones on key cards.

Godfests no longer advertise “rate increases” and instead Highlighted specific cards along with 6* Godfest Exclusives being available. As such, these events are the best time to roll the REM as the current meta is heavily favouring these rare and elusive monsters.

Rolling rates may change or vary with each Godfest event.

Introduction

The upcoming Godfest begins on February 28th (last day to complete February Quests) and ends on March 1st. However, unlike the previous one two weeks ago, it has a significantly weaker roster overall. This is because it includes several weaker 6* GFE and fewer top tier ones.

This cyclic pattern of Godfests is not unusual and for the most part, a card will be featured almost every other time at the very least. Furthermore, Godfests tend to occur twice a month so you do not have to wait terribly long before trying your luck again.

As with any Godfest, the decision of whether to roll or not will be dependent on your own Monster Box and individual needs. Continue reading February 28 – March 1 Godfest Overview Plus New Sonia Ultimate Preview →

Version 12.6.1 Update – Super Awakenings

February 22, 2018 Mantastic 98 Comments

Introduction

Version 12.6.1 comes with the highly anticipated Super Awakenings mechanic. These awakenings are a new way to add additional power onto some of your favourite monsters. However, you must first Limit Break your card, sacrifice a +297, and these special Awakenings only works in solo mode.

This article will explain the process, when to use it, and which awakenings tend to be more favourable.

As a forewarning, not every card can be Limit Broken and not every Limit Broken card can receive a Super Awakening.

Video commentary

–video coming soon–

Requirements

Super Awakenings will only be available to certain cards and those particular monsters must meet the following criteria:

Must be Limit Broken (does not need to be level 110)
- Not all cards can be Limit Broken
  - Not all Limit Broken cards can receive a Super Awakening
Already be +297
Sacrifice a +297 for a random Super Awakening
- Can be any combination of pluses as long as it adds up to 297
Works only in solo mode

Monster Analysis, Pantheon Analysis

Celtic Series Overview

February 16, 2018 Mantastic 9 Comments

Introduction

The Celtic Series is the newest Pantheon to be added into the Rare Egg Machine. This means they will be rotated throughout the REM but will be Highlighted upon their initial debut until the next Godfest.

With the Rare Egg Machine Renewal, all Pantheon cards, former 5* GFE, and miscellaneous junk will rotate on a regular basis but will Highlight specific cards during non-Godfest events. However, the Celtic Series are all 6* base cards which means they will have middling rolling rates during Godfests as they will lose their Highlighted status.

Despite boasting 1.4% rolling rates right now, it is not worth pursuing them at this point in time and it will be better to wait for a Godfest to have the chance of acquiring 6* GFE alongside of the Celtic Series.

Unlike some 6* Pantheon cards, the Celtic Series do not possess an Awoken Evolution and retain their active skill. Thus, it is advantageous to evolve them.

Super Ultimate Norse Rush – Farming with Glavenus Hunter

February 12, 2018 Mantastic 4 Comments

Introduction

Skill Delay Resist Tamadras are appearing as a 100% invade in Super Ultimate Norse Rush and this type of event is the best time to acquire these valuable Latents.

I try my best to build efficient teams but naturally am limited by my Monster Boxes so take my templates with a grain of salt. They are not the most efficient available, but are still potent enough to get the job done. As such, I encourage you to use my template as a starting point for your own Monster Box and farming practices.

Video clear

—coming soon—

Team composition & steps

Glavenus Hunter for Super Ultimate Norse Rush 18

– Team B	Card

I put 2 SDR by default on each card to protect against the two turn delay from Jord and the Tamadra. I also used Healer Killers to ensure I could kill the first floor as Valkryie is not a God.

Glavenus Hunter for Super Ultimate Norse Rush Steps
Floor 1	Awoken Machine Goemon
Floor 2	Red Sonia
Floor 3	Whaledor Carat Leader Ares
Floor 4	Awoken Machine Goemon
Floor 5	No.6 DO NOT MATCH DARK
Floor 6	Ares
Floor 7	Carat Non-Awoken Machine Goemon
Floor 8	Non-Awoken Machine Goemon

Conclusion

Super Ultimate Norse Rush is a fantastic dungeon to farm right now as it offers beefy rank experience, gold, and Skill Delay Resist Tamadras.

Let me know what team you are using to clear the dungeon and how many you plan to farm.

Happy Puzzling!

New Year REM Review and Analysis – February 2018

February 11, 2018 Mantastic 22 Comments

Introduction

The New Year’s REM returns just in time for the Lunar New Year and features three new cards while also removing three silver cards. However, there will still be two silvers available along with this Collab being average at best.

With the REM Renewal and disclosed rolling rates, Collabs and Seasonal events have gained increased value due to GungHo not wishing to showcase abysmal rates. Thus, it should be easier to roll the top prizes, but you must also be prepared for the bottom rarity fodder.

As such, the decision of whether to roll or pass should be done based upon your individual box needs, desire to roll the cute artwork, and whether or not the lower rarity cards have merit for you.

As a whole, most of the NY Event is outdated as most of the older cards did not receive any buffs and were already mediocre last year.

February 10-11 Godfest Overview

February 9, 2018 Mantastic 14 Comments

Godfest Basics

Rolling rates may change or vary with each Godfest event.

Introduction

Another Godfest with no name will be debuting on February 10 that has a pretty solid roster overall. Like the previous Godfest, only 20 6* GFE will be featured which also means that many will be missing. As a result, it may or may not be an ideal time to spend your Magic Stones based on your individual Monster Box requirements. However, this roster looks far more appealing compared to last time.

This article will summarize what is currently available (as well as what is missing) to help you make an informed decision as well as reposting a review of Macha and Morrigu in case you missed it last time. Continue reading February 10-11 Godfest Overview →

Macha and Morrigu Godfest Debut Overview

January 31, 2018 Mantastic 15 Comments

Godfest Basics

Rolling rates may change or vary with each Godfest event.

Introduction

A new Godfest with no name will be descending upon NA/EU on January 31 and will feature two new 6* GFE: Macha and Morrigu . Both of these cards posses amazing active skill that can dramatically change or alter your approach to challenging content.

During this event, 20 6* GFE will be Highlighted but that also means several will be missing. Thus, as with any Godfest, the decision of whether or not to roll will be based on your own Monster Box needs and what you feel will best help round out your collection.

This article will summarize what is currently available (as well as what is missing) to help you make an informed decision as well as providing a review of the two newly released cards. Continue reading Macha and Morrigu Godfest Debut Overview →

Monster Hunter Collab – Which Hunters to Make – January 2018

January 24, 2018 Mantastic 35 Comments

Introduction

The Monster Hunter Collab is in full swing and many players have been happily farming the materials to evolve their new Male and Female Hunters.

Each Hunter has 5 distinct evolutions that attempt to provide diversity for your Monster Box. However, there are a few options that are far superior and should be pursued the vast majority of the time.

This article will outline the strengths, weaknesses, and applications for each Hunter to help you make a more informed decision.

This article will sometimes refer to each Hunter by their primary colour. For example, the Male Hunter with the Blue primary attribute () will often be called Blue (Male) Hunter.

Video commentary

–video coming soon–

Where to get Hunters

If you were fortunate enough to have been playing when the first inception of the Monster Hunter Collab came around, you would have already acquired one of each Hunter for free. Thankfully, new players are able to acquire their Hunters in the same fashion and older players will be able to acquire another one for free as well.

One Male Hunter will be given out to all players if they log in at any time during the event. On the other hand, one Female Hunter will be rewarded for clearing the 4-or-less challenge (you can still receive another one if you played during the first event). Thus, new players will have 1 of each and older players will have 2 of each Hunter.

Additional Hunters may also be purchased for 200,000 MP each but that may or may not be the best use of your Monster Points.

Evolutions are reversible

All Hunter Evolutions are reversible and it may be advantageous to acquire the materials for a variety of colours and switch over if your current choice feels lackluster. Continue reading Monster Hunter Collab – Which Hunters to Make – January 2018 →

Monster Hunter Collab Review and Analysis – January 2018

January 21, 2018 Mantastic 34 Comments

All pulls will cost 10 Magic Stones
Review of the Hunters will be done separately

Introduction

The Monster Hunter Collab is one of the most highly anticipated Collaborations to come back to North America as the cards push the envelope of Powercreep along with having stellar artwork.

However, Monster Hunter Collab comes with a higher price tag of 10 Magic Stones per roll along but has surprisingly reasonable rates for the top prizes.

Prior to the release of official rolling rates, players have guesstimated rolling rates based on large sample sizes as shown below.

Taken from Padx for the previous event which was based on 1276 players and 4770 rolls. http://bit.ly/2sLUi8O

With that being said, the strongest leader from the Monster Hunter Collab is best when paired with other cards so you don’t technically need to roll him.

Generally speaking, you can measure the overall strength of a Collab by the value the lowest-tier prizes as they will be the most common cards you will acquire when playing as Non/light IAP. As such, you should examine the 5-star rolls as that is most likely what you will be blessed with.

All of the cards in the Monster Hunter Collab have exceptionally high base stats for their rarity and that is taken into consideration as they have some sort of offset to keep them balanced compared to other REM cards. Finally, all the 5-star cards will sell for 15,000 Monster Points and is tied for the most efficient Magic Stone to MP ratio alongside the Heroine and Dragonbound & Dragon Caller events.

Finally, the vast majority of the featured cards now have a new Assist Evolution which adds more value and versatility.
