Green Dragon Strategies!

This Saturday, I did a bit of Green Dragon since I have some extra stamina. So let's talk about the Green Dragon's status first:
Master Level: HP 33650, Damage 17160, Defense 62000, Turn 4
Expert Level: HP 16042, Damage 7994, Defense 31000, Turn 4
Adept Level: HP ~8000, Damage 4258, Defense 18600, Turn 4

There are three ways of beating him in general (regardless of the difficulties):

Strategy #1: BREAK HIS ARMOR
4x Fire, 5x Fire/Dragon Mix, or 6.25x Dragon (Fire-focused) Multiplier: If you have an Ancient Dragon Knight (ADK appreviated from now on), then you can probably use him to amplify your fire dragon team's damage using him being the leader. That is by far the only way to break his armor.

You can calculate the approximate amount of damage that you have to deal to break his armor.
(a) Fire deals x2 to Wood
(b) ADK x2.5 to all Dragon
(axb) x5 Damage, so if I have a fire dragon that has 800 damage, one single combo can amplify it to 4000.

Of course, 4000 is not enough to break the defense of 18600 or 31000. So the rest is for you to combo it up higher.

Strategy #2: POISON HIM TO DEATH + BRACE YOURSELF
(a) All you need is a Neptune or a Succubus/Lilith. Survive your way through using a Fire x2/x4 team or what have you. When you reach the boss, use poison. Depending on which monster you use to poison him, it will take multiple turns until the poison kills him.

(b) Now since it takes multiple turns to kill him, you have to see if you have enough HP and Heart Gems to take his hit. For example, in Expert Level, he deals 7994 damage per 4 turns. If you need to play poison with him, you will have to either have a higher than 7994 HP and recovery your HP back in 4 turns, or bring yourself a Wood damage reducer.

You will hit 1 forever if you don't poison him or break his armor...

Check your MAX HP and see if you can take 1 hit!
Then heal up before he attacks you again!

Strategy #3: SHIVA!!!
This is by far the most recommended and effective way to run this dungeon. Using Shiva as one of your leaders, he not only multiplies the Fire damage and recovery by x1.5, he also has the skill of zeroing out all enemies defense in 1 turn (for now this skill called ERROR 95... LOL).

BUT, SLOW DOWN! Don't get too excited; Shiva's skill takes time to charge up. So if you meet any Goblin's or at round 5 Flowerdragon Brachys, do NOT kill them all until you have charged up Shiva's skill. Once charged, see if you have enough Fire Gems to make that call on using his skill because the skill only lasts ONE TURN.

And that's it for Green Dragon!

Sunday, I didn't do a lot of grindings though since I really wanted a Mystic Ice Knight.

Not sure if anyone notice, but every special event will have a certain period that doubles the drop rate, which is usually at its 10 1/2 day left, or 12 hours left before the event ends.

So I waited until 12 hours left and spent all my stamina on running Blizzard Dragon Master to see if I can encounter some Mystic Ice Knight. Nope, nope and nope. 3 runs gone and there goes my weekend :/

Mystic Knights will have a rare appearance on Expert and Master level on Legendary Dragon events. Even though they appear, the drop rate is low in Expert comparing to Master.

Well there goes the entry for today!

Plan:
Tuesday: Maybe 1~2 runs of Keepers to evolve my Fire Team.
Wednesday: Green Dragon Master to hunt for Mystic Stone Knight!!
Thursday: Dragon Plants!!!

Early Entry of Legendary Blizzard Dragon - Master! Clear!

Today was a crazy day. I didn't notice last night that I almost leveled up (around 2k away from leveling). And of course in the morning, my stamina is almost full. So guess what!? I gave the Legendary Blizzard Dragon - Master Level a try!

I thought and thought. Eventually, I changed my team to the following:

Crystal Aurora Dragon Lv1 - skill deals 20000 damage. Definitely needs to be charged in case I encounter 5 devils. And also the 50% water damage reduction.

Flowerdragon Brachys Lv33 - wood damage; skill will be useful

Earth Dragon Lv55 - wood damage; skill will be useful; deals 3000 Wood Damage to all. So 6000 to all water monsters.

Keeper of Rainbow - to boost up my HP by 3000. Skill will be useful in case of urgent situations.

Naga Lv 55 - skill delays 3 turns. Boost back a bit of Hearts

Demon Viper Orochi Lv20 (partner leader): skill delays 5 turns! And with his leader skill perserverance to beat the boss. 

Of course there needs to be tons of luck in entering this dungeon. And indeed I was lucky; there wasn't 5 devils encounters; hearts keep dropping so I didn't run out of it. And I was able to alternatively use the skills when needed - for example, Crystal Aurora Dragon's skill when I face 4 devils, then a bit of wood damage to finish 1st round, next round flowerdragon/earth dragon's skill to finish the 2nd round, Naga to delay turns for 3rd round etc. Worse comes to worst, I still have Keeper of Rainbow's skill to add 50% reduction more to water damage.

Must use Viper Orochi or Ogre as leader to survive his hit.

Partner that saved my life

See that GOLD EGG dropping right there!!!

AND WIN!!

The hardest I encountered in this run was Round 9, 2 Sirens. I had to delay them and use 50% reduction from Rainbow of Keeper. My health was at 32/9182, 1 turn away from getting pwnt by two girls.

The risk was worth it! I leveled! And I can focus on other things now!

Plan:

Today: Friday Dungeons to evolve my Baddies to feed Vampire Lord.

Weekend: Fire Technical Dungeon to get some Ruby Pengdras and set up for Green Dragon Master!

Progress: Blizzard Dragon Master

Decided to start a blog about the progression. Readers might love to see how I progressed without really having really powerful Gods and rare eggs.

Anyways, as of today, the Blizzard Dragon has only 3.5 days to go before I can hunt him down in Master Level. One week ago, I already know this will be really challenging without a decent wood team. So I expanded my box to save up some baby sapphire and emerald dragons (almost 16 of each). And farmed 8 of each pengdras until today (Thursday). Spending most of my stamina on Thursday event to get some flower plants, I finally got to evolve my Blizzard Dragon and some good Wood monsters leveled.



Here's my analysis:
Blizzard Dragon (Leader) - 50% water reduction for normal monsters
Flowerdragon Brachys - will get him to maybe lv30ish
Earth Dragon - Might be able to feed to lv70
Tavr Demon - hopefully can reach lv50 by 3 days.
Megalodran (Max skilled) - to change fire to heart every 5 turns
Viper Orochi - to use perseverance on miniboss and bosses. And Force on Siren or urgent situations.

The hardest encounter will be 5 devils. Since they deal 3510 per turn. Having Blizzard Dragon will only do some much that they can deal 8775 per turn total. So if this happens its pretty much over.

On the other hand, if I am able to charge up all the skills of the Dragons with the fact that I have Megalodran to use every 5 turns to heal up, I might survive the wave of the devils.

The second hardest encounter is probably the 2 Sirens in Round 9. Providing I have Blizzard Dragon, 5280 per 2 turns gives me 5280 total damage. I definitely have to use Viper Orochi's skill in this round to keep myself alive here.

The only downside of this team is its HP. While Tavr Demon has high attack, its HP is extremely low.

We will see how that works tomorrow.

Plan:
Friday - Technical Dungeons for Pengdras to try to max level Tavr Demon.
Saturday - Probably same as Friday but maybe level up a bit on Blizzard Dragon.
Sunday - Deep Breath! And let's try it out!
