Divine Brave General, Krishna

Got him yesterday, switched him with Ronia as my new team lead. Let me tell you why. Combos for my fire team that make my whole family weep tears of joy. Big yellow hat with a little feather. Blue body. Not wearing any shoes. Kindly expression, like when my aunty gives me a pie.

Nice! You wont be disappointed in our brave blue barefoot buddy. Excellent lead although has anyone noticed if skyfall works? It is not very noticeable to me.

OOH really?! I noticed it the very first time I used it. But I was doing at least 4+ combos so idk... But I got at least 2 x3red orb drops in a row ending in around 5 or 6 combos. I just Uevo'd my Ronia so I love the x9 damage with 6+combos.

The real thing that was made painfully obvious when pulling this monster is...... that the lack of friend Kris. I hope one day Gungho will add a kind of "Mirror Mode" where you basically use your lead in place of the "friend" slot. Mirror mode should just "mirror" everything about your leader...Stats, awoken skills, +'s, etc...

They get enough stones from REM. ^That would really keep people into the game for longer period of time (months...years) I feel like a lot of end game players have multiple leads that we would love to run but lack the friends. One can hope anyways...

Yeah it is noticeable alot of times but there are times it is nominal and other times you just get skunked. It is a godly active on limited orb dungeons or weekend dungeons.

You are right about Krishna's weakness; lack of representation as a lead. I end up using Ame or devil Shiva friend leads but no one out of my list runs Krish so his use is limited to the handful of good fire lead friends on my list.

Replace Shiva with Hera-UP if you are looking for enhance, however team full of orb changers and heavy hitters like Kagu work the best. Shiva is just way way too slow for this team to be of any use.

I tried but clicking on your name doesn't lead to your profile

this is hilarious, you are one natural raper!

lol magi

same goes for Green and Water ones.

Closer than most people usually guess.

combo calculator does all the math for you.

hypothetically, lets say you have a Krishna who's attack is exactly 1000 and so does your friend. and for simplicity sake, you have no other monsters in your team.

you match only 2 sets of red orbs.

Krishna's attack is 1000

x 2 because you matched two sets is 2000

But, you made a 2 combo. each combo beyond the first adds 25% to the base.

so now your at 2500

If you matched a pair of heart orbs also, you'd have. 3000

Now we had the x3 multiplier from both krishna's

22500
or with the hearts.
27000

Now with three red matches

4500 before multipliers

91125 (The calculator doesn't have an option for 4.5 since that's a new multiplier.)

things get complicated if you start matching 1 group of 3 and one group of 4.

As for the other questions you had, yeah, Mono red is probably the way to go.

You could in theory splash another color in if there was an important active skill you needed, Top droid dragon for a defense break for instance, or amatarasu or ceres for a bind recovery.

And i suppose you could put some green monsters in if you needed some extra power to get through a hard blue dungeon.

but generally, everything about Krishna wants him to be leading a red team. you' d still benefit from his leader skill with other colors, but not as much as other red monsters.

As for subs, yeah, orb changers are what you want. Echinda too.

you probably want two prong awakenings over rows, since matching 6 orbs in a row plus another group of 3 is in this case, probably less powerful than just matching the 3 groups of 3 and getting the x 4.5 over x 3. whereas hitting a group of 4 to proc a two prong attack will be much easier.

Chiyome is good. Uriel is an okay option, he brings a row and a skill boost, but nothing else there is that great. his active is on a longer cool down, and there is double up with light to red with Chiyome, although he does work well with red valk or gigas. Between the two, Chiyome is probably better.

Red valk is great, if you don't have her, Gigas is an option. Bad awakenings on him plus negative recover though.

Dino rider Drake (Green to red and heart to green) or beast rider merlin (Red to blue and heart to red) are options. both have 2 two prong attack awakenings, plus a row enhance if you can pull that off. Drake is obviously a better choice for several reasons.

Cao Cao is an orb converted plus a minor delay.

Phoenix knight Homura is a good orb converter Blue to red, and he has a 2 prong attack

Ares is Heart and blue to red, so he's an option

Also, the chinese gods, Leilan and Haku (Red and Black) are good options. Attacker Leilan is better since she has more awakenings. The two Hakus are harder to make a call, D/D Haku has more awakenings, but D/R gets more effect from your all important Red Matches.

Yamato Takaru if you have him also is a good choice, although you might just use him as your leader. Green to red and Dark to heart

Red Sonia is also a good sub.

Finally, when she comes out, Fire magician Raira would also work really well.

Just watch to make sure you don't have two much overlap with your orb converters. you don't want everyone converting blue to red or something like that.

Samurai Goblin is also a really great sub -- easy to farm and easy to max skill, for a hearts-to-fire option every 5 turns.

Red Valk is pretty much a given all the time. You might, might, swap her out for gigas every now and then just because of Gigas's enormous hp. but even with him in, you might still keep the red valk and just go with two heart converters.

Echidna is also good fore 90% of the time. she's got decent attack and good rcv, but her hp is lacking and her awakenings aren't worth it. You'd definitely use her if there is a powerful sub boss that looks like it can tank hits, but that will also kill you in one hit. but you'll also take her out if the bosses start using shields that prevent status effects.

Uriel and Chiyome are equal in strength to me, but you'd use one or the other. the deciding factor will be if you have any skill ups on either. Uriel has better stats, but his skills on a worst cool down. his skill does synergize with Valk/gigas. His awakenings are probably worse though. Chiyome has worse stats, a faster skill, and has the all important two prong attack. Also, Uriel has a harder ultimate evolution.

Beast rider is an option, but not a great one. he does convert blue to red, and he also has 2 two prong attacks, but he's primary blue. and his skill is on a long cool down. if you were to use him, you would NOT use uriel in that case.

Phoenix knight is a fine option, blue to red, so don't use him and beast rider. he also has a Two prong attack.

Meteor volcano dragon is iffy. his stats are okay, but his awakenings are crap. his final evo is also somewhat hard to do. his cool down starts at 15 but can be brought down to 10, but 10 is still worse than phoenix knight, red valk, gigas, and chiyome.

Freyer isn't doing a lot for this team. the 1.5X isn't super great, but if it's the difference between killing a boss in one hit, or putting a boss down to 20% and having it trigger it's most powerful attack, then use freyer.

Red odin is questionable. the minimum need for rows to be worth it is 4 row enhances on the entire team. under that, you'll deal more damage by simply matching two sets of 3. Krishna has 1, your friends krishna does too, so red odin would give you a total of 5. and your subs will likely give you 1-3 more. but consistently hitting two rows is sorta hard, and hitting 3 is super hard. i think you'd be better off just aiming for the higher multiplier from krishna instead of rows. Two prongs are easier to aim for, and will do decent damage themselves.


As for lucifer. Hers's dungeon became a normal dungeon, so just mine that for 4 hera's. you need to do starlight sanctuary, but if you can do hera's dungeon, starlight sanctuary and the Norse dragon's should be easy. if you want to do it safely, use a resist lead that matches the dungeon, and then take a green odin friend. if you don't have a resist lead, then take a healer, arch angel, siren, amatarasu. if you don't have a healer lead, and you have no resists, or nebradisk or a zombie lead, then pack your team with as many auto heals as possible. urial and lucifer each have one, and a friend green odin will have 4, so that's 3000 auto heal there. zues in starlight sanctuary will hit for just over 5000 damage through a green odin, so you'll need either a heal leader or a resist light lead for zues. but once zues is out of the way, the rest is easy. Get up to hera and then get 4 of her. if you don't have the team cost, don't evo them for now.

Lucifer can't do every decends but he can do most of them.

Thanks, I agree about not wanting too much over lap. I don't spend money on the game and so getting the chinese gods or Sonia seems pretty unlikely, and if I did i would probably just build a team around them. I have a max skilled Red valk, a Uriel, a Beast rider, an Echidna, a Chiyomi, and a Phoenix knight. Not all of them are evolved but that shouldn't take too long. I have a Gigas but think Valk is definitely the better option. What about Red Odin as a sub, and trying to do a little bit of row matching. I also have a Freyr that could be useful for the 1.5x attack for three turns. Meteor volcano dragon converts Dark to fire, how about using him? I would like this team to be capable of clearing descends. I would use my Seraph of Dawn Lucifer team but all the builds I have seen use Gravity users, which i won't have until i can clear descended dungeons:(

Should I go with strawberry dragon or gigas? My other team members are krishna, echidna, chiyome, and homura.

almost certainly gigas.

Gigas has heart to red, which is something you really, really want in this team. his awakenings are crap, and he has negative recover, which isn't great on something that also removes your heart orbs. that said, he skill can easily be skilled up, and he has massive hp.

Everyone else in your team has averge to good recovery, so you'll be fine even with gigas's negative. Echinda also really helps with the whole not dying thing.

on the other hand, strawbey dragon comes with a heal active that also makes heart orbs, but without gigas you can't really utalize those hearts for anything useful. he has a bnch of awakenings, but the important ones are rows. with yor team being fully awokened, and using a friend krishna, you'd have 5 rows, which is enough to be worthwhile, BUT, you don't want to use rows on a krishna team. Other than that, the berry dragon isn't doing much for you.

You might, consider dropping echidna and erplacing her with straberry dragon thugh. if the things you would want to delay are immune, then she wont matter as much, and the berry dragon does work well with gigas.

tl;dr Use gigas over berry dragon. consider switching echidna for berry dragon on some specific dungeons.

I'd use valk uriel echidna and the Phoenix knight

k

it's possible i was just bad. But before i stalled enough for my orb changers to be ready, keeping six fire orbs around each turn wasn't the easiest thing to do.

once i stalled enough, it was easier to keep things going, but i'd often get trolled with sky falls wiping out the extra fire orbs that i kept around for the next turn.
