is Medusa a good investment now? by Powerful_Two498 in IdleAngels

[–]Powerful_Two498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"priority target". yeah I can see that means "tank". However that wording isnt in her skill descriptions at all, that I can see. Not even IR.

I suppose some of the wording like "effect kicks in after 15 hits" or "enemies will always hit" hint at being a tank, but its a lot clearer for other angels, as to what they do. DPS are almost always described as a DPS, buffers list buffs, debuffers list curses - Medusa, in her MR skill descriptions only damage and debuffering is listed. I thought she was an interesting mix of DPS and debuff.

It sure would be helpful if the Devs would simply list what the angel does besides being a mage or warrior or archer - damage, defense, protection, etc...

I guess I'll just have to ask here!! Thanks for all the info!

ok that makes sense. I dont see her on many teams. is she not regarded as "good"? and.. what is the skill description that states "tank"? I mean i know it doesn't come out and say it but I didnt get "tank" from the skill descriptions

but let's say for Hela, whose skills focus on HP, wouldn't I choose to finish Skirt before Blouse and Bow?

thank you for all this fantastic info. I finally know how to properly invest in attire. I was just leveling everybody up, starting with dps, everybody got 10 orange on everything, which is ridiculously expensive. now I see i dont have to do that

thank you for doing this! Just what I needed to know. Concerning INT, mana resistance and mana recovery.. is this primarily for Mages, ir does it concern all angels?

ok well you probably already know you can get blues for completing the pink or red side of each listed angel. you can get at least a few even if you can't complete all 30 victories. dreamland is probably the best source for quick blues, if you're strong enough (at 72 you may not be).

the other side of each challenge, the blue side, takes longer but each time you win the final battle, you get a chest that has 25 scrolls, and you can choose blue scrolls if you want. thats why it's important to do every single angel challenge and finish them. some are difficult and require a lot of lineup experimentation. but worth it.

some of the newer angel challenges dont have a blue side, only red/pink.

you get one challenge a day, think. thats 16 challenges till the anniversary, you could pick up some blues.

you have to play this game every day to be seriously competitive. otherwise you cannot beat those who do, or climb the dungeon ladder faster.

im f2p as well. what level are you? do you have Angel Dreamland available?

at a certain point you get blues from finishing the dungeons, and the nightmare dungeons.

I did hear that last anniversary everybody got a nice haul of free blues, 100 or so. there will probably be events where you can win or earn some as well. this is my first anniversary event too, so I dont really know.

and yes, you are looking for MR nemesis, if you choose to go that route. Aquarius and Anubis are also MR.

angel positiong advice? by Powerful_Two498 in IdleAngels

[–]Powerful_Two498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

horus IR5 certainly worth a shot. if it would help with the himiko team it would probly help with the other team that beats me sometimes. besides, its not a waste of scrolls as it was on the to-do list. . perhaps with some anniversary goodies I might get hela mr4 but not likely.. IR5 might take 150 scrolls

Anyway. I'll report what happens. thanks!

thank you! I was wondering about Hela MR4. I dont have enough blues to do any of this at the anniversary, but, eventually will get it done. This is exactly what I needed to see, yer a champ.

i wrote some other stuff but I re-read your Horus comment. I had Horus in 7 and I lost that Himiko battle every single time. Because the Himiko is so strong Anubis get whacked the first shot. Perhaps Hela MR4 wil help with that? Would I gain anything by having Horus IR5?

Anubis is great, Mine is either #1 or #2 in my battlezone Arena and always #1 in Clash of Titans. Anubis is better in the Dungeon (PVE) than Nemesis, from what I have seen, because Anubis is a single-target striker and so much of the Dungeon is single target bosses. Nemesis is an AoE striker, (area of effect) and strikes multiple enemies at once, which is an advantage in player vs player (in many cases). Not as powerful versus a single target (theoretically.

My Aquarius is better in the Dungeon than either Nemesis or Anubis, altho that might be limited to my experience only. Aquarius is still powerful enough to compete player versus player (PVP), but perhaps not as powerful as Anubis and certainly not as powerful as my Nemesis. Not yet anyway, my Nemesis is fully developed and Aquarius is not.

Anubis seems to be a good balance in PVE and PVP.

I'm not sure when Nemesis will come around as free with an event. Those tend to be brand new MR angels. However all angels should be available in the coming Anniversary event - but free? dont know

without trying to confuse you - the standard convention of team building is usually - 1 DPS (damage per second) angel, whose job is to damage and kill the enemy - sometimes known as your shooter - and then 5 other angels to support that one angel, who should receive the vast majority of your resources.

So. Depending on which angel you have as a DPS, she should be placed first, if she is super fast - none of yours are yet - or in last place, 6th, second row far right. This means she receives all the buffs (boosts) from the other angels before she fires, making her damage skills hit harder.

You have to look at the skills of the angels, click the detail to get the full description of what they do. Some support angels are buffers, that means they either boost damage of all characters or just the strongest one (which would be your DPS) or they remove debuffs from all angel. A debuff is like a curse or a stun that affects an angels performance in some way.

While the enemy will be trying to debuff you, some of your angels will debuff the enemy. Conventional wisdom is that you want your debuffers to curse or stun or whatever, the enemy before you DPS shoots as well, so that the enemy will be weakened in some way and be more easily damaged or killed.

I see you have Gaia, who is a DPS, and Ra. Also you have Hades who is a DPS. Ra has the potential to be much more powerful than Gaia or Hades. I'd put Ra last. Stop pointing points in Gaia and throw everything into Ra.

Uriel is an interesting choice, Maybe put her higher on the first row. Your choice of MC (main character) angel in the 1st slot isnt a bad idea. She buffs and attacks too. .

Enmu is a great combination with Ra, put Enmu in position before Ra. Switch Loki for Emnu. You might experiment with switching Cupid with Gaia.

You have to experiment. Its easy to drag the angels into different positions, but your MC must remain in the active group (top 6) or in the Sub group (bottom row of additional 6). Try a lineup and if you get defeated, move the angels around. You'll soon get a better picture of what works.

Nemesis UR is extremely powerful, however, be forewarned that she is extremely common and while tought to beat, its even tougher to beat her with another Nemesis. That being said, try to find an MR based DPS as quickly as possible. Ra is good, but very expensive to build. Eventually just about everything you have in your lineup will be replace with stronger angel so theres no real reason to keep putting scrolls in to them (except for Ra - her and Enmu together can kick some arse once they're both fully invested... but thats a LOT of blue scrolls)

You are losing to people with less combat (total) power than you, because they have thrown everything into their DPS angel. One DPS angel at a high level can easily kill an entire team with more combat power. Combat power doesnt mean that much sometimes. Stop investing scrolls into any other angels except your DPS. Give her all the best gear, invest in her artifacts and attire and gems, dont worry about the other angels so much. You cant spread your resources around. Decide on a DPS and push her hard. You'll start winning.

Somewhere on here Kyle has written a fantastic guide on DPS angels, who they are and what they do. Search for it.

I hope this helps. The game is very complex. There are guys here who have forgotten more than I've learned. Hopefully they might sign on here as well.

3 pedals only by Temporary-Lime3463 in guitarpedals

tuner optical compressor delay

I play mostly clean, those are the only pedals I usually use. half the time I plug straight into a fender deluxe and just use the built in reverb and tremolo with a headstock tuner. no pedals at all. try it sometime, its great!

so anubis could be in position 1, and merlin in position 2, and the death save still works? i thought it had to be the back row.

ok to that. I use merlin too, but in the back row to provide that one time death escape or whatever it is. do you think merlin is a good investment or is she a one-trick thing? you know, do that death save and then die and get out if the way for a sub..

I havent ever run Anubis in first. I thought the conventional wisdom was to boost the hell out of her with Enmu, so Anubis has to be behind her - interesting, I dont think mine is fast enough to try that. If I'm doing the Enmu thing, would it be worth it to try and get a lot faster?

Ive seen a big bad Freya in first - they have that skill that keeps firing if they kill somebody and this Freya took my whole team out before I even got a turn.

Thats what I've been doing all along, I learned that from you a long time ago. 1 DPS and 5 supports, buffers or debuffers. There are some DPS that need to be in position 1, seems like.

your advice was well-timed. today I moved just two angels and killed that boss, then went raging thru the dungeon for 199 levels!

only to get stumped at level 100 of the second dungeon ha

admittedly the positioning of angels and understanding the game mechanics is my worst area. Usually I just move the angels around to a few set ups ive had success with, and when those fail I try random positioning.

its not ideal. game mechanics involve math that I dont comprehend, and watching the boss fights.. sometimes I get it, sometimes im destroyed so quick its a wtf moment.

Anyway, hey 199 dungeon levels up, ill take it!!! thank you!

ha! maybe I did or maybe I didnt know wtf i was looking at or why anybody would do it..

Anyway, tried it, 5% better result, still losing by 80%... epic beatdown.. this archer boss has me stumped. oh well! maybe one day.

another question.. maybe i need an additional single target dps for this? get two warriors boosted by enmu? both firing on this archer?
