Blue Time Sorceress, Ars Paulina

They're to make up for not having any legs in her unevolved form.

"oh my goddess" are the right words to say as she is perfect for skuld lol

Leilan still better. But she's nice too.

It's what happens when you leave both a diglett and chikorita at the daycare

I kinda want it as a monster now...

Mister-ita?

that there my friend is a nuzleaf

So many meanings I stick to just one.

Okay. I finally figured out the whole enhanced orb math. I screwed up before because I stupidly forgot the two enhanced orb awakenings for my friend Skuld. You will get a 5% bonus for each awakening. Before I though that the extra damage would go for each orb, but the math didn't support it, so I came to determine that it goes separately and is added to the orb match. So for example, a team with 7 enhanced orb awakenings would ideally give an extra 35% damage to each enhanced orb match, originally at 1.18x extra damage to 1.53x extra for a three enhanced orb match, but instead I received a 1.59x extra damage bonus. That means the bonus is actually greater than the defined 5%. To check it, I also made a four enhanced orb match and got a multiplier of 1.67x and a five enhanced orb match to get a multiplier of 1.75%. To conclude, THE ENHANCED ORBS GET STRONGER AS WELL!!!!! (Even though it's just a teensy bit).

Actually, enhanced orb awakenings are pretty sweet after gungho updated them. I have eight of them on my Skuld team as of now, and i get a 1.77x multiplier on just a three orb match. So with Skulds as leaders, you have a minimum of 15.93x multiplier for that three orb match. I find that ridiculous. lol I hope this helps

Enhanced element skills increase the chance of you getting enhanced orbs. If you have one skill then each orb of that element that drops has 20% chance of being enhanced; two skills means 40% ... five skills means 100% chance and all the orbs of that element that drop will be enhanced. Six skills is no better than five. If all the orbs are enhanced and they all go at once then you get a boost of 30 * 6% = 180%.

Well that's what I'm saying, if the orb+ awoken skill is just for increasing the appearance rate of enhanced orbs, then there should be no difference whether I have 4 or 6 orb+ awoken skill in my team... Yet, with 6 awoken skill I have a higher multiplier than with 4 : a negligible one (from 364% to 336% for a whole 30 enhanced orbs) but I still got one. That's why I don't understand how the dmg formula of these enhanced orbs works.
Besides, the skill description says an orb+ give 5% dmg but it clearly isn't the case.

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

want

Blue board enhance. Bonia's new lesbifriend.

Beelzebub amplifies DARK orbs, not water...


EDIT: Okay, I went straight to the ultimate version. The normal evolved version amplifies BOTH dark and water. Still, Paulina has far better HP, so there's that advantage. And if you're not bothering with dark, you have a slightly faster cooldown AND the two extra water orbs. Seems good to me.

Unlike Beelzebub, her descend has a legend level.

beelz makes her worthless for this.

no doubt his descend is easier as well

I agree. And now that the REM versions are getting a buff to their Africa skill making it 5 orbs, these gals should at least make 3 orbs.

You kne that most physical types have little to no recovery tho right?

Same with devils, then along comes ronia who made devil teams viable because of their survivability. A ronia/lu bu team can take huge hits (25k+) and heal through them. ronia active -> hera ur active will kill pretty much any boss in the game unless it has damage absorb. Where is Skuld's 'Hera Ur' equivalent? Well I'll tell you, its in the REM only, because money.

For a 100% chance skill-up, it have to be an Ult-evolution. I'm sorry for you. :/

Wow. Why would you 1) pump this monster, 2) skill her?! Please don't feed her tamadras... She it's just a fodder in the long run.

You don't understand why a REM card is better than a farmable card?

her leader has nothing to do with orb matches. It's always "On" Here's some examples.

Haku
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=754

Dance of the Tiger's Roar
Effects:ATK x3.5 when attacking with Fire, Water & Dark orb types at the same time.

Haku grants all cards on your team 3.5 x attack if you match fire water and dark. even a pure green or light monster will get the multiplier if you match the 3 colors.


Piccolo
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=1562

まだまだこれからだ…！
Effects:All attribute cards ATK x3 when reaching 2 set of Wood or Wood & Light combos. ATK x3.5 when reaching Wood & Wood & Light combos.

Piccolo is like Haku. all monsters, regardless of color, get the multiplier. in this case, there are tiers. To get the full effect you need two pairs of green and one light for 3.5 X attack. if you only match two of those three (Green , Green, Light) you'll only get the lesser effect of 3x attack.


Plesios (water starter dragon)
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=8

Power of Water Rapids
Effects:Water attribute cards ATK x2.

All water type monsters get 2x attack. it's an unconditional bonus. as long as plesios isn't bound, your water monsters get 2x attack. You'll note that it doesn't matter if the monster is primary water, or if water is it's sub color. A dub Sapphlit (B), Blue pirate dragon Awilda (B/B), Beast Rider Merlin (B/R), and Rebel Seraph Lucifer (D/B) all benefit the same.


War Deity of Fury, Ares
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=889

Secret Art of the War Deity
Effects:Fire & Dark attribute cards HP x2, ATK x2.

Any monster who is either Dark or fire, even if it's only a sub color, gains the benefit.


Paulina

魔導の双呪印・水木
Effects:Water attribute cards ATK x2.5. Wood attribute cards ATK x1.4. ATK x3.5 if both attributes are met.

Now lets say your team is
Paulina lead,
Warded Storm God, Susano No Mikoto (G/L)
Ancient Water Dragon, Bowmore (B)
Gigas the Great (R/L)
Marine Rider Robin (G/B)

And no helper.

All water type monsters get 2.5x attack. regardless of orb matches.

All wood monsters get 1.4x attack. regardless of orb matches.

All monsters that are BOTH WATER AND WOOD get 3.5x attack.


So in the above example,

Paulina gets 3.5X attack.
Susano gets 1.4x attack.
Bowmore gets 2.5x attack.
Gigas gets no bonus.
Marine Rider Robin gets 3.5x attack.

Susano's 1.4x attack applies to his sub color too, so if you match a set of light orbs, his secondary attack will recieve the same 1.4x attack.

And you DON'T need to match blue or green orbs. In fact, if you made a Goetia team (D/G) that had subs with none aligned colors, Susano for instance, you could enter Takeminakata Descended! - No Wd / Dk. you'd never match any green or dark orbs without using an orb changer, but your other color attacks would still receive the bonus. You'd loose of course, so don't do that.

I think your misunderstanding, or it's possible i am.

The grimoire series isn't like the Chinese where you need to match the colors to get the effect. For example, Haku needs dark, fire, and water to grant her 3.5 x attack (Or heal if you have the D/R ult evo) It seems like your thinking that Paulina here grants 2.5 attack if you match water, and 1.4 if you match wood, or 3.5 if you match both.

That's not the case, or at least i'm pretty sure that's not the case.

Paulina grants 2.5 attack unconditionally to any subs that are water types. in the same way lucifer grants 2x hp and rcv to dark types. She also grants 1.4 times attack to wood type subs. and any monsters that are both wood and water, gain 3.5.

So for example, if the blue berry dragon was a sub, he'd get 3.5 times attack. ADK zeal would get 1.4 attack, and Andromeda would get 2.5

There's no real concept of getting orb trolled.

The issue is the lack of decent b/g and g/b subs

Paulina has....
Skuld (Who probably makes a better leader)
B/G armored knight (JP only so far, and his active boosts god types, which Paulina is not)
Umasachi and yamasachi (Who make for a great sub)
B/G Karin
B/G Lakshmi (Wo sorta sucks, and has nearly the same active as paulina)
Blue flower dragon
Blue berry dragon
hrungnir (Same type of active skill again.)
Blue stone dragon mythril
Chrono turte
B/G Leviathan
B/G ogre
Marine Rider
Pirate dragon captain kidd
Top droidragon
fortoytops
G/B Fafnir
G/B ogre

So, a large portion of that list is rem only, and also, and more importantly, sucks. On the other hand,all of the chinese gods have a pile of usable subs.

Question thoroughly answered, five stars A++ would ask for advice again

Chinese gods are still better in my opinion. Grimoire series pigeon holes you into a specific dual attribute if you want the 3.5x whereas the Chinese gods can work with multiple subs.

Goetia for example has practically no dark main wood sub party members. You'd have to go with wood main dark sub members to even use her leader skill at full potential. Dark/wood subs do exist, but they aren't ideal for a dual color team aside from dragon zombie who's function would be covered by Goetia anyway.

Oh whoa, so let's say you have Paulina as leader and (for example) Blackbeard and Devil Fish as subs... If you only matched Dark in a turn, would they get 2.5x attack because they're Water subtypes even though you didn't match Water? Obviously that's not an ideal strategy :P (you're better off going Wt/Wd or Wd/Wt), but is that how her leader skill works?

Although you think that blue green lakshmi sorta sucks, wouldn't she be a good sub simply for the 760 recovery? I really would like to know what you think, because I cannot decide what to do with Lakshmi. She just sits there...useless.

yes, you are right. But two colors are still much more easy to trigger and less chance to get orbs trolled.

Classic Japanese tentacle hen. That's one weird looking hen if you ask me.

lol makes sense to me

You'd be better off having skuld as the leader.

Skuld should be leading.

My iD is read the guidelines :D
