Dark Holy Skydragon, Shangri-La

Or you could just use one + Hera-Beorc

isn't this right? why is it getting downvoted?

It's too bad that we can't bring this into Sandalphon. I hate that Raphael. lol

Bring a Thanatos with you. The elemental are more useful than you think.

They stack additively.

All the resist awokens on a single mob add up. Across different subs they also add up.

Similar to how row enhances stack additively.

The awakenings alone make him infinitely superior. 20% light damage reduction. With 5 of these on a team, you completely nullify light damage.

There is a yellow version.

I don't know why they felt the need to make a black one though. He's almost the exact same monster.

well the name IS reverse-holy sky dragon Shangrila, wasn't expecting it to be complete slick black though... maybe just the wings?

They're all "dark" of their counterparts. But yeah you'd think there'd be more white or yellow association

It's from Puzzle and Dragons Z, they have a monster like this in it

Abilities that block damage are multiplicative, but the awakens do a flat % damage reduction. There is a Japanese video on YouTube of a run with 100% wood resist in the Tri-Fruit dungeon. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pJiqy5OrW0

Good news. With the recent update, each resist awoken is now 5% instead. So this guy gives you an auto 25% resist meaning you'd only need four of these. Too bad I can't do this dungeon or I'd be all over this.

Sorry, but that is wrong. They are additive, in the same way that skill charge is. Five skill charge would reduce CD by 5 turns. Five light resist each provide 5% resist for a total of 25%. If it were multiplicative, the more you have the less it would protect you because it is a fraction, or decimal... .05 × .05 = 0.0025 or only one-quarter of 1%. Sometimes, in our quest to be great players and help others, we overthink it all, but here the math is simple.

Unfortunately, this is a false assumption most players make at first. Resist skills are multiplicative, not additive. So 25 of these skills on the same team give you a total resist of (1 - .96^25) which is about a 64% reduction in light damage. Sadly no way to block 100% of damage (except active skills that temporarily void damage).This reply has been flagged as spam  Show

I believe it would give you 75% resistance. I'm pretty sure awokens are additive and Leader skills are multiplicative. So say a light monster does 1000 damage to you.
The leader skill activates and the damage is now 1000 * 0.5 = 500. Then the 10 awokens kick in and the damage is recalculated to 500 * (1 - 10 * 0.05) = 250.

If you ran two leaders with 50% resistance and sub two of these, the 1000 damage becomes (1000 * (0.5)^2) * ( 1 - 10 * 0.05) = 125 damage. thus giving you an 87.5% resist to light damage. Sub three of these and you get a 93.75% Resistance.

However, if you sub four of these then the leader skills become redundant, since the (1 - 10 * 0.05) portion becomes (1 - 20 * 0.05) = 0, so that 1000 damage becomes 1000*0=0 damage.

Whew Tirrinz! Love the math! It was talk like that in the 70's that first got me interested in computers! Huzzah!
