Ancient Dragon Knight, Zeal

Bearded deity guan yu now better

Can't farm Guan Yu tho...

Where's the best place to farm one of those? Oh wait...

Dragon Shogun even more so due to much better atk.

9x attack is mostly the reason why. Any 9x team such as balanced (with Cu Chu), physical (with Siegfried) or healer (Valkyrie) make things much faster for a farm team, i.e. clearing dungeons fairly fast. So although U&Y is generally better in terms of raw damage output, in most dungeons that people are farming, they don't need that much damage so there's no reason for having to force yourself to match 4 colors when you are going to overkill when instead, you can just match a simple 3-5 single color for a sweep. So I would definitely rank U&Y as a better leader when it comes to progressing through dungeons or descendeds but for the run-of-the-mill farming, I wouldn't rate them very high as they are a bit inconsistent in terms of damage (due to orbs not dropping) and when they do activate their leader, it's usually overkill.

Now, as to why people tend to gravitate towards Zeal are two-folds. One, it supports dragon teams and who doesn't like dragons? And two, although I feel like that Valkyrie/healer teams does equally well, to create a light healer team is generally harder than creating a green dragon team, not to mention that healers tend to have less attack than other sub-types.

Also, another thing I like a bit more about Zeal as opposed to the other sub-type 3x leaders is that he converts fire orbs which generally doesn't not have any use for a green/dark dragon team. The other sub-type 3x leaders are heartbreakers, destroying heart orbs that can heal (although you shouldn't be taking too much damage farming with a 9x team). Hope this answers your question.

If you have both of them with tpa as leaders, they'll tear it up. TPA shreds Neptune.

Second best* gotta hand number 1 to Kushinada. Those cascading orbs! Lol they just keep coming!

Bastet would probably come second to kushinada

I would probably try out Kushinada if I had one, but I have been walking all over weekend dungeons with my B/L Isis for a while. Really easy 12.5x with friend Isis.

dual gadius ftw. easy 36x in weekend dungeon. I use flare drall as a heartmaker, and the rest is:
awoken hino
restrained blah blah blah liu bei
awoken neptune

once I wake up orochi he will replace neptune. TPAs for days.

this weekend I'm going to try an awoken yomi team. theoretically he/she/it has better potential than gadius

wut bout da #ONETRUEGOD tho??? ;(

Seriously though. I'd take Anubis over Kushinada any day. Mostly because I don't even have a choice lol

The REM.....she be a cruel mistress.

Plenty of people do/did. Before the Sonia's came along, double ADK was a main leader for a lot of people who got crappy pulls from the REM well through rank 150 & up. I'm rank 236 & still use double ADK for the weekend dungeon, of course, I still don't have a Sonia either.

I don't know why this comment was flagged as spam. I don't know why it was downvoted either. Was it written in sarcasm? If so, then okay--it is a rotten thing to say. But, I still don't have a sonia or an odin--at rank 210--and I am always thinking, "You poor thing." It seems like everyone has a sonia and an odin. In fact, the team builds are all composed of two or three of them. I just want one..of each one..in each colour.

I am rank 200 and I don't have a sonia either. I don't even have an odin.

I'm in the same boat Christina and I'm rank 263, non-IAP. I used a double ADKZ team until past rank 200; now I use Athena, and finally got a good end game lead in GZL, so I'm pretty happy now, resigned to never get an odin or sonia or many others.

Rank 169 within 7 months of playing and still no Gronia yet. One day, perhaps.

i got pretty horrible star and silver egg pulls from rem every single time up until i hit rank 70 and i pulled blonia and blodin back to back... its like rem was gathering up my luck for one big barf of gold eggs

Rank 160ish, no odin.

My son pulled an GRodin around rank 20.....


FML.

What do i want from the next godfest? ROdin & Grodin.

Then it's back to leveling stuff.

You're rank 236 and you still don't have a sonia? You poor thing....This reply has been flagged as spam  Show

You can get a draggie. Just as good

nope, unless ur talking about the ancient dragon knight then yes

Either way, you could use one as a sub on the other's team.

Both. Dragon Shogun as your main leader as he has constant 9x damage and, at minimum active skill level, two 18x damage spikes every 12 turns with a friend Dragon Shogun, provided you have a way to clear hearts before his active. Zeal would be for the weekend tricolor dungeon. That's what I am doing anyway.

I just pulled one from rem so they're not removed yet :/
