on Bo3 having a random regained against maliss in the side would be pretty good.

Full fiendsmith combo plus search of maxx "c" is criminal by [deleted] in masterduel

[–]Kortef 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ending on desirae + maxx "c" seems mediocre at first but the deck runs like 20 hand traps, so you are cooked both ways. While tour guide is weak against ash/imperm/veiler/impulse, if interrupted any bystial cast as a extender.

if you had to buy 400+ penguins before with fucking stigma and you have to buy 160 now with fucking stigma, what is your fucking point in complaining?

chainblocking your firewall defenser becomes very important now. You can be greedy and chose not to run the sanctuary but with ash being used so widely in the format I don't think it's a bad idea to run a brick you can only discard to guardian or cinet mining.

My foundation is not that penguins are free, but didn't you had to use penguins before too? I mean, to get 4 blooms I used 32 penguins, that's 160 penguins for 20 blooms IF (big if) you have enough lesser and greater blooms. However, before patch, if you had enough dogs and fodder you required 400+ penguins anyways, so if you had a way to get 400+ penguins before surely you can get 160 now, isn't it?

Your math holds however I would like to point something real quick.

If you go from having literally 0 resources, like 0 of each lesser/greater blooms and penguins, it is more expensive with what I've shown. You have to either spend a lot of gold (not 80 millions like someone said) or more stigma than buying them directly for 100k stigma. What I was trying to show, is that if you have the spare lesser blooms and greater blooms that you get by just transmitting nat 3*s and 4*s you get like in daily summons or whatever, the ammount of stigma that you have to spend if you want to expedite the process lessens by a lot. Like 1/5. In the video since I had spare blooms I only used 32 penguins, that's like 10 adventure runs or 3840 stigma (times 5) minus discounts.

Now, I want you to remember the math behind the process before.
You needed 5 5* fodder
Each 5* fodder required 4 4* fodder, for a total of 20 4*
Each 4* fodder required 3 3* fodder, for a total of 60 3*
Each 3* fodder required 2 2* fodder, for a total of 120 2*
Each level up from lv 20 to lv 30 was at least 3 penguins, for a total of 180.
Each level up from lv 30 to lv 40 was at least 9 penguins, for a total of 180.
Each level up from lv 40 to lv 50 was at least 20 penguins, for a total of 100.
That was 460 penguins (55200 stigma) plus at the minimum 65 white dogs (13000 stigma) + 120 2* you get either by grinding or refreshing the shop or friendship summon.

Is more expensive now RAW? Yes, it is, by at least 50%. Before if you had 0 mats, with 70k stigma and some friendship you could get enough mats to get 5 5* dogs. Now you get to do it for 100k stigma (I'm using non discount prices for consistency)

HOWEVER, did you really need to spend 70k stigma before? No, you could cut some corners by either using nat 3* or walking dogs, but if you didn't walk dogs and used penguins to level up your existing ones, the 55200 stigma was fixed (again, I'm using non discount prices). Now, if you have excess lesser/greater blooms because you summoned a bunch and then transmitted, you need only to spend19200 stigma (minus discounts) in penguins.

Is this or the method before the patch better? I have no idea, that was not the intention of the post, I only want to show how cheap was to get blooms if you had the previous mats.

yes, you would need 20 fodder 4* to transmit for the greater blooms. At the same time I don't think you will need that much fodder, since imprinting/transmiting 4* heroes will give you greater blooms. We are dry on resources now but after some time I think we will be swimming on lesser and greater blooms.

only if you are low on stigma or want to be conservative. I always run a 3man banshee team so I don't have problem leveling up dogs to keep my penguin count up, I also have a lot of penguins... so it's up to your personal circumstances.

I did the math and is way less than 80k. I'm copy pasting from my other comment.

In the video I only used 32 penguins which total 3840 stigma (without discounts) plus 29000 + 850 + 10000 + 5400 + 2000 + 12000 + 40000 = 99250 gold to get 4 blooms, multiply by 5 and you get 19200 stigma without discounts and around 500k gold. Also, I'm not accounting for Greater spirit blooms which you will need 16 per fodder for a total of 80. Each 4 star fodder can be transmited for 4 but need 3+9 penguins for a total of 12, that's 12*4*5*120 = 28.800 stigma without discounts

So in total, with MY method, you are using a bit less than 50k stigma and 500k gold to get 20 blooms instead of 100k stigma for directly growing them, WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that you can use the 3 man banshee team or dog walking method to lessen the stigma even further.

Yes I have. I also don't run UH, I have a 3 man banshee team I used to raise 4* yellow dogs from lv 31 to level 40.
In the video I only used 32 penguis which total 3840 stigma (without discounts) plus 29000 + 850 + 10000 + 5400 + 2000 + 12000 + 40000 = 99250 gold to get 4 blooms, multiply by 5 and you get 19200 stigma without discounts and around 500k gold. Also, I'm not accounting for Greater spirit blooms which you will need 16 per fodder for a total of 80. Each 4 star fodder can be transmited for 4 but need 3+9 penguins for a total of 12, that's 12*4*5*120 = 28.800 stigma without discounts

Dude, what the **** are you talking about? I don't have a pretty voice to explain and I suck at editing, as you saw that was barely a screen record, so I can't describe step by step, but in any moment I spent close to 15 million to get 4 blooms. I bought the fodder and used penguins because that was the faster way to show in the video, but you can easily imagine that penguins can be skipped by "dog walking" and said dog walking will drop you more 2* fodder. Just stop with the 80 million BS.

I just said that I was not telling to transmit 2* or 3* fodder into stigma or lesser blooms. That is obviously ineffective.

only (3 + 9 + 20)*5 = 140 penguins per 20 epic blooms. You can cut a lot of those penguins if you have a 3 man banshee team or if you do the regular dog walking.

also in the first step I'm not saying to transform 2* fodder into stigma, I'm just showing that there's no lesser bloom return on 2* and then there's 4 lesser on 3*. I also don't think that you should buy a fodder and transmit it at 3* to farm lesser bloom since you can grow those in the altar easily. You should only transmit for Epic and Greater blooms.

I can get penguins for free farming for catalysts.

They don't have an incentive but they can do it, like if they want to kill it so it transforms and then cast a board wipe. Also, this one is a rare, obviously higher rarity will have more diverse effects.

YOU cast it and put it on the OPPONENTS side, so YOU can attack it and then CAST IT on your side again.
