Marine Rider, Bard Robin

Double orb conversion "usually" gives too many greens, making it impossible to activate two prong. However, marine's orb change works wonders on GZL teams because it breaks hearts and gives you a workable amount of green orbs.

The only thing that could make this guy more useful is if they buffed the stats (particularly HP). Seriously a weighted stat in the 500s for a REM monster without stat gimmicks like negative RCV is lame. I guess it's meant to balance the amazing awakenings but still :P

It's his awakenings that make him awesome.My GZL team yearns for this guy!

I don't know if you have been playing long but the entire rider series had no skill ups for years and in the last few months they've released 4/5. I would be shocked if his skill up does not appear in fist of the north star collab.

Your wish came true. Now he has 500 more hp and weighted stat in the 600s.

Since you seem to have the magic, wish for some skill-up fodder for us, please.

Too right! In the time the Shinra Choco collab was here, I got enough Wafer Men to fully skill up my Dragon Rider Arthur... and what a difference it makes! This guy needs a skill-up bad.

Finally. The day has arrived. It took them 2 years but they did it.

It's perfect for Balboa's LS.

Just letting you know, for teams that rely on TPA's, double orb conversion usually does NOT make enough for an optimal burst. The expected number is 15 for double orb change and you need 16 to make 4 TPA's, and sooner or later, you will come across situations where you really need that burst. That's why you want to use something like Liubei/Artemis + Osiris for Osiris teams, or Persephone + DSirius for Okuni teams, etc, depending on the board and how much dmg you really need. Also, from my experience, getting <12 dark after Persephone does sometimes happen especially if I bursted the previous floor with a Vamp and/or Voice (I don't have Hanzo).
I don't personally use Athena, but I'm pretty sure Athena users are doing the exact same thing with Meimei +Verche, etc.

I think his skill is pointless. Water to wood, then heart to water? That's usually the equivalent of heart to wood, yet it has a longer cooldown. I mean, ok, you have more options. If you have lots of water and need wood, you can get it. And if you have a lot of hearts and need water, you can get it. But that's so niche, and his Wtr>Wd half of the skill gets in the way of turning the field into water. Honestly, just an expensive sub-par skill.This reply has been flagged as spam  Show

Alternatively, it could be that he is some play on Robin Hood, who was supposed to be an accomplished archer, which most fantasy games pair with bards as an escalation of the archer class.

I upvoted your comment for content. I want to make a minor correction, though. The bard himself was not named Robin. The bard in the skit was actually singing about "Brave, brave Sir Robin", who bravely ran away... I guess if the inference was intentional, they would've instead named the toon, "Marine Rider, Robin's Bard."

It wasn't a year ago. Check when he made the comment.

is green armor ogre not skill up fodder?

And its hard to get wood monsters with 1Tprong now 2 its crazy , I just got Zhuge Liang and im trying to build a team for it , not easy. But i have ADKZ, 5MEC Canopus (both with TPAs) and wood skydragon (just cuz its green atkr and has 1904 atk at full evo) but as u said TPAS are awesome.
This monster would be perfect. To bad i dont have it.

Youre assuming everyone that plays has better. I run a all attr attacker team, and marine rider is the best one i got to lead them. Not everyone is lvl160 with a full 6-7 star team. All in all, why sasuka and cao cao are better attacker leads, marine rider isnt all that bad.

Un install this game if you use this guy as a leadThis reply has been flagged as spam  Show

Definitely! Mouse over the awoken skills and you'll see that two-pronged attack also gives a 1.5x attack boost!

The 2nd two prong attack is what makes this guy LEGIT!

So, does the second 2-pronged result in 2-way, 3-way, or 4-way?

No, the second one will multiply the attack by another 1.5x. So monsters like Liu Bei who has 3 TPA will have 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 increased damage.

I think you misunderstood his answer.

"No" as in everything pertaining to the number of enemies struck by a monster with 2 TPAs remains the same, aka 2.

"No, the second one will multiply the attack by another 1.5x. "

I think you misunderstood the question.

Normal atack:
1x damage to 1 foe

Two-Pronged attack:
1.5x damage to 2 foes

2 Two-Pronged attacks stacked:
2.25 damage to 2 foes, 3 foes, or 4 foes?

If I understand you correctly, I think you misunderstood his misunderstanding.

Maybe we're all mistaken?

GPA? LOL you mean weighted stat? xD

This monster is very good with GZL

Keep and uevo both and you'll have SO MANY TPA's if you ever get a Verd or Liu Bei team
