Awoken Sakuya

Part 2

“Because you refused to change,” the emerald warrior told her. The yawning halls gave way to residences, red to tan, as smaller shrines came to view, smaller sanctuaries. Here in the outskirts, the realm of lesser gods, never to see the spotlight, was Valkyrie; long out of the center of attention, she had honed her talents and master of the orb without the rows. She vowed to return honor and glory to the word god and return the former balance of power.
“Get to your feet. Unless you still want to be a shame to all gods.”

“Me? A shame? Impossible,” Kirin denied. “They love me. The world does, they do. It must be a mistake.”

“Then stay the same. And see how long that lasts.” Indignant, Kirin rose.

“I worked to be able to walk on my own two feet. Fagan worked me to the bone to get me this far!”

“Then if you want to be great, do it again.”

So Kirin once again trained from nothing. She trained with poison, learned to control the power of nature, and even embraced the impurities of the two prongs. She honed her connections to Heaven, promising to always strengthen the essence of the gods, and still maintaining that essence herself. She would rise again, like the Metatrons, and restore balance in this chaos.

What a return! What smiles! What laughter! What derision! “She’s no goddess; she’s an Amazon!” They all joked. Trained by Valkyrie, who wasn’t even a true goddess! Under her shrine, bequeathed with a flurry of flowers and worshippers, Kali didn’t even turn a single hand from her throne. Even Kirin’s sisters had “awoken” their true selves; by abandoning their place in Heaven forever. “You’re dwelling in the past; the world’s changed. We’re no longer Fagan’s darling goddesses.” And the final words: “You’re not the center of attention anymore.”

It was a lonely throne, stone cold, with the empty wind eroding the oppressive columns. Once so filled with lovers, with worshippers, Heaven became a relic of the past. Kali had done little; Kali saw herself not as a god, not to reassert the role of Heaven, but to become God. No longer did anger nor jealousy fill those once hallowed rooms, however. Only loneliness flowed with the ebbing tears. And the Tamas.

“Tama! Tama!” Kirin glanced down to one of those strange creatures. Was the smile laughing at her? At what she had become? But the smile alluded no thoughts at all. She smiled. “This must be just a game to you, huh.” Suddenly, the creature sped off, tottering side to side, hopping. Curious, Kirin followed to the deserted balcony that overlooked the earth.

“So much chaos down there,” she whispered. Gods, devils, monsters everywhere, for Heaven offered no stability. The cries of dragons, echoes of abandonment. Was this anarchy? “If only we weren’t so far,” Kirin began, “then maybe we would have helped.”
But when she focused her senses, it was not destruction that met her. Was it a cry of the earth? An ancient call? Or…maybe…the first of dances? For to the east she found the peaceful rivers, the playful scherzo of the dragon; to the south the graceful ballet of a new forest after fire, of a reviving phoenix; to the west the calm sonata of bamboo forests, of the mysterious tiger; to the north the immutable hymns of the mountains, of a quiet tortoise. So nature lived on, a new order has come. Change was the new constant.

“So you’re leaving as well?” A familiar voice. There was the all-knowing Metatron, writer of all texts, knower of history. And knower of her own downfall as well, outshined by the goddess of the sun. Her body spun to face that primal performance of nature. “Even after what we’ve been through together? Our rise? And…” Her gaze never fell from the horizon, but her arms, grasping the edge, gently trembled. “I cannot go. Not yet.” Then the eyes came upon Kirin. “But if you go…it’ll be dangerous. You should use some of my power.” Metatron held up her gentle hands, welling up with…ah, how soothing it was, those fresh gentle lapping waves across the face strewn with salt! Purity, purity, purity, woven upon hope. As Metatron’s holy waters unraveled their embrace…

“Oh, you thought that little splash was a spell to unlock your powers?” Metatron softly smiled. “No. You just simply looked dreadful, moping around with streaks on your face. I’m sure you already know that the power to heal comes from within. Which means…if you can heal those wounds inside you…” Metatron turned back, bookmarking, closing her book, facing the shadowed halls, “I’m sure you’ll lead this crusade.”

“Tama!” the creature suddenly popped up, grinning, before suddenly jumping down. Kirin almost laughed. She lifted herself onto the balcony. “Wake up,” she whispered to herself. The winds drove downward, east, south, west, north, catching, swirling her entire existence. There’s no way of coming back, the wind warned. “I know.” She wasn’t preordained for any position. Nor was anyone else. But she would find herself, wherever she belonged. And she would use her own two feet to get there.

Bravo, sir. But alas, I believe the story is missing one very important plot point. You see, "Kirin" was left behind and fell out of favor because no one knew her name. She was forgotten, only mentioned in passing by most circles.

But luckily a select few knew her real name. They preached her name to the masses, tried to remind people of her true potential. More and more people started whispering her real name. Eventually the clouds parted and finally, after all of our extensive waiting, she was awoken and reborn with ONLY her true name. Sakuya. Awoken Sakuya. Never again will her identity be mistaken by a false name.

Sadly, I see that there are a few left, like you sir, that still call her by her false name. Maybe that's why she hasn't arrived to NA yet. She is waiting until we are found worthy of her presence.

I see Dr.Psaroo has taught you his methods...

People please this man has some creative writing abilities he deserves more than just one like which is mine

Let's make this the most liked comment in this database
To surpass even husbando gigas

Dang. It's people like you who make our world fun and overall more awesome, thanks! I wish I had as good writing skills as you :) then i might not have a B in my english class!

Anyway, I am really wonderin: did you come up with that whole story yourself???

Finally someone who wrote just as much as I did
Kudos to you

Wow... If there ever was an animation about PAD, this would be it! I could imagine all these things happening. Best of all, it's all true!

So what happens when Sakuya runs into Haku after they're both awoken? Haku is a God-type awoken. They're both healers (as are U&Y and Kali), too.

Also, really, people? Nine of you only upvoted the first part. Why? They're both great!

I think Kirin was stated to suggest that she remained on par wit her previous incarnation, and her new form distinguishes her from her old roots that made her seem weaker compared to gods like U AND Y, and Kali

Stories like this bring life to these monsters we all know and love! Keep it up, it was very entertaining and we'll written!

Banal

*farts really loudly*This reply has been flagged as spam  Show

Yes you do

So do you need to reverse two evolutions before your able to evolve to awoken state?

It won't be surprising when GungHo decides to make another evolution + art by making Gleam Awoken Kirin.

I wanna upvote this because it's so beautiful, but i can't bring myself to do it with that glaring "RCU" in there...

10/10 They're all sight for sore eyes to be on a team together, there needs to be a video following this up and then fan art / posters of the *S* team.

Why is this getting downvotes, i like this comment

Hmm sadly i only have 3 sakuyas and the chibi one.

Hmmm, I guess you should probably have ONE Sakuya before you can even consider this? Yeah... I bet people have even worse luck than me but I dont have even one

They should rename her "The Sphinx Slayer, Sakuya"

More like Medje killer

yeah seriously whats with that hah

.

Yeah, it sounds weird but her balls keep getting bigger.

Awoken Sakuya and her Divine Dumbells

Active Skill: Kirin's Boisterous Benchpress

Leader Skill: Deadlift of the Four Origins

Inb4 someone compares her to Dub-Metalit.

20% reduction and then another 20% reduction isn't 40%. That's not how percentages get added/subtracted. Two Kirin 20% reductions is a total of 36% reduction off a monsters HP.

Okay, that sounds like it does it off the current HP. So you might have done it differently. I just think of it like this, then 100 = 100% of hp, 100 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 64 = current hp, 100-64 = 36 /100 = 36% = HP taken. Cool, thanks for letting me know Gravities work off current HP. Some other games do things off of total HP%, though it was never clear in-game nor on this website since all it says is damage to enemies' HP. No other adjective added there.

It is off current hp.

Haha love the sarcasm

I see. Thanks. You are helpful.

I bet those balls are filled with air!

Nope, looks like the perfect team. Except in the Ultimate Arena, people usually go dark heavy. Sounds weird, I know, since Kirin doesn't even use dark, but check it out on youtube. It's absolutely craziness, people going dark heavy with Kirin. Awoken Kirin is the best card in the game right now. She surpasses even Awoken Ra.

Awoken Sakuya
D.Izanami
D.Izanami
D.Kali
Awoken Yomi
Awoken Sakuya

This is me

Two sets of baby lits

All the materials

3 shynpy's

Need 1 more shynpy

and I have all of the one shot challenge done except 10. You watch, we will get her the day after it ends.

Thats not what you originally said..
See you already eating your words
So when it does happen dont even come back to this page
Just enjoy your Awoken Kali kiddo

Well kali hasnt gotten her awoken yet so we shall see

Kali is a godfest pull. They don't get awoken forms. Not even GRonia, one of the original godfest cards.

Remember when tripple typing was un heard of?
Making an Awoken exclusive isnt too out of the box if they did that. So im calling that they will in fact give Kali an awoken
And when they do come back to this page

Again, won't happen for a long long time. Year+. Not impossible in the future, but by 2017, you'll see maybe Gronia. LKali? A 30deep godfest exclusive? Yeah right.

The new descends would be like

Boss Preemptive - "gtfo Sakuya"

CD +99 if Awoken Sakuya is in team

CD+99 resets cooldowns to their max turn, not actually 99 turns I thought.

Please correct me if Im wrong though, would hate to be sorely mistaken.

Yeah it resets to max cooldown. They just use +99 to cover everything (though +50 would suffice)

Christmas special kirin, sakuya is also healer sub type and has gravity so....you are wrong.

Ultimate Hathor

Same. I just need 1mil exp to evo then i will have this beast

all I need is a stupid blue dublit... curses!

I had zhouyu and fagan prepared since her release in jp, but started a new Sakuya so that the old skill ups wouldn't go to waste. Now I'm farming snow globes the hard way, but FF collab-int really helps.

Wait what?

you know, 14xFF Collab-Int = a bean or a globe (don't tell GH)

wait wat

I was scared. BUT! I read the ToS of the game and figured this is not exactly a fraud, nor employing a bug or whatsoever....

You know, there is this thing called Present.

Can somebody please explain what the hell this means

He's making new accounts and farming the FF-Collab 14 times to reach rank 20, where he can gift a present egg to his main accoumt.

Ahhhh. Yeah actually somebody told me something about them checking accounts getting an absurd amount of gifts and freezing their account

I think I've heard about it before, and I don't think 3 is an absurd number.

I don't mind getting frozen, though. I was trying to give away my account since a while ago anyways.

I do ;)

I still think first evo is the prettiest <3

She still has hooves

9/10

put isis since you don't have sun quan

a. Bastet or A. Ra both give great time extends via skills with relatively short cool downs.

use another L. KAli instead of D. KAli. L. Kali helps leader skill more.

No, you can't. Sopdet will absorb the damage from the gravity if it exceeds her threshold (which it will at full HP).

Yes you will keep your original awakenings

Yes

Sorry to say you wont be able to get awoken Sakuya any time soon. Fagan is unobtainable until rank 165 because his dungeon requires 99 stamina to enter. So yeah, I would Super UltEvo her if you can get your hands on that last jewel.

Just wait. This game is a lot about patience -- or money. I prefer patience. I have 2 or 4 kirins floating around in various states of evo and just got my fagan -- never cared to before. And yea, the LB is a primo card, but the LL is good too and maybe you can use those mats for something else to pump your team up a bit to get a fagan.

Okay, a followup answer. Just do whatever you like. I have the LB and LG Kirins and they are not different enough in general to matter at your level. If you want to evo now, just do so. It'll take a ton of time for you to get the evo mats for LB. The LG is worth it if you can get it.

More friends have LG Kirin. Thing is, I don't notice a huge difference during play between the two. I run True Endless Corridors for practice and both Kirins get me to level 20+. You'd think 100x would be a big deal, but even with 100x (the rare time I get it), Kirin is still only hitting around the half a million damage mark. You still need Sun Quan, Izanagi, Muse or something that is going to let you spike the boss or delay to get in a couple hits.

Point is, you have a long way to go -- get your LG.

The multiplier affects the entire team, so yes it'll boost your dark card as well. The four elements stated are only saying that that's what's needed to be activated, not what attributes it would boost.

Blu is correct. If you look on Youtube, you'll find some Kirin teams with Dark focus believe it or not. Yomis and other dark time extenders and shields help out a bunch if you're an orb savant.

sounds good to me

Where's the green? You don't really need Arcline's spike for Sakuya, it's way overkill.

the green is valkyrie

Yes, I don't know why I didn't see Valk.

A.Venus is pointless. Her CTW is too short to be worth more than a regular turn, and A.Sakuya doesn't match rows. Use another L.Kali or D.Kali instead.

You don't have to buy stones to get her. just keep Thor and Zhou You ready for her ultimate.

replace Apollo he floods the board with light orbs. more combos= higher multiplier

I just pulled Kanna from the GF. Should I put her in for the extra spike (which wouldn't affect Amaterasu)?

I also forgot to mention Christmas Kali, mostly since she's off-color.

definitely

"Who would be a good shield other than Indra and Susano (neither of whom I have) for a normal Sakuya team, if anyone? The only shield I have is Kushinada, who I already inherited into A. Shiva."

Somehow on the news I got carried away and started talking about Sakuya strategy there, so I'm just putting this here. My current team is:

Awoken Sakuya (Awoken Apollo SI)
Christmas Kali
Awoken Amaterasu
LKali
LKali (Awoken Loki SI)
Awoken Sakuya (Sometimes LKali SI, depending on the friend)

I also have Academy Sakuya and Sherias I could use, so fitting maybe them on as well as a shield could be nice. Given past experience, I kind of do need a shield.

she can reach to 100x now and she is unbindable

The latter

replace bastet with a different monster

The Awoken Form is waaaay better than the Super Ult

Thanks man

If you have +99 of a stat feeding any more + to that stat will waste it. Check what it will add to before you feed it.

That list is bs

Its not nessisary in order, but these are the relics of the past: Ult red Sonia, Grodin, Kali, Light/light Ra, Awoken Ra, Kali, Awoken Bastet, Umi/Yami, Red/Dark Ares, Awoken Shiva, TheMETAtrons (not so meta anymore), Kushinada, Zaerog Infinty, Shiva Dragon, and Awoken Yomi. May all of you rest in misery inisde our monster boxes. Also, its been so long ever since awoken Sakuya came out, so its already a relic too.

havent quite a few of those transitioned into good/excellent subs?

Her damage scales up to 100x, if you can hit 10 combos.

Haha how did that happen

and thats why they made king tan

Who is the person that hates all the "they are finally here" comments on every new monster page

it pains me alot seeing people say awoken kirin... a part of me dies inside everytime this happens. There is no such thing as an Awoken Kirin.

Nice job pulling that little factoid straight out of your ass.

Gungho made A.Sakuya because she won a survey on the JP server.

Three people don't know math.

or just ATK +0,2

That would also be wrong, because you don't multiply it by 1.2 over and over again (it doesn't stack with itself). Whenever that wording is used, the previous multiplier is increased additively by that amount.

wrong section put it in friend finder mate

Neither could the haters and trolls

Guess the fanbase couldn't handle the cold, hard truth.

how? ... and you sound serious, too?

A.Sakuya has:

better weighted stats than GGS;

active with less cd at lv.1 or same cd at lv.max, but with an additional 2-turn bind-recovery;

attribute for her is l/w, while ggs is l/g. throw in a mini valk, you can get plenty of these in event rems.

type is dragon-healer vs. god-physical-dragon... this is the only aspect I would call a draw. god is definitely helpful, but given kanna (who is izanagi?) is viable in both's teams, a debate over sun quan and muse as the burster is hard.

leader skill for 6x is at 6 combos versus using a skill... is matching 6 combos hard? just look at L.Kali, the best rainbow spiker before A. Egyptians;

awoken skill changed from having an enhance light and a poison resist to bind resistant. forget about the enhance orb, it serves too little utility. poison resist, now, I assume l.kali is one of the better subs for her, and with a full board change, you can void poison as long as they are not locked. Further, skyfall poison orbs can't be dealt with poison resit as well, while bind resistant combined with her active is just way too helpful. just look at michael and laugh at him on the first turn;

the art, as you've mentioned, has definitely improved. both color theme and body fluidity in awoken sakuya are solid.

I started as an U&Y player, but have to say A.Sakuya is definitely one of the, if not the, best rainbow leader in the game right now, beyond A.Horus, and arguably beyond A.Ra.

Yeah, I would say A.Sakuya is better than GGS Sakuya in most, if not all, aspects.

explain why you think that than A.Kirin outputs more damge to a 100x multiplier is that not enough?
