Okay so I'd like to know what you guys think about this.
Last weekend's godfest left me with 2 green Odins (lol also got me 2 new Freyrs, including an evolved one, and I just evolved mine last week...)
I was wondering if it would be worth it to leave one underleveled and unevolved to use for his leader skill and one to evolve/max level to use as a sub.
My logic is that when evolved/maxed, his HP is very high (4000+) which makes the total HP for the team much higher, therefore making his leader skill harder to activate (the more HP you have, the more you need to heal to get to 100%).
Now I know there's a logic error in there, since if I have 20k life, and I absorb 80% of a hit, it'll be the same as if I had 2k life, but what I'm wondering is for pre-boss fights rather than on boss fights themselves, where it would be much more difficult to activate. On boss fights it makes no difference HP-wise and you're better off with higher ATK and RCV, that's a given.
But also if he's maxed, on a Parv team, he makes a great stat sub since by himself he provides more than 9k HP to the entire team.
So I'm torn. Here are my options:
1- Evolve/max level one, leave the other underleveled
2- Evolve/max level one, fuse away (or sell) the other
I don't think 2 in a team would be worthwhile as he'd be taking the spot of an orb changer.
Ultimately, the team I'd like the most for a Parvati team would be
Parvati leader
Evolved Cu Chulainn (his new form is crazy - his stats start out pretty high, so there's no real reason to level him up!)
ADK (max skill would've been nice, but I got one skillup this weekend spending like 5 stones, so screw it)
Wood golem (5k life? Yes please!)
free sub spot (either max level evolved Odin or Alraune if I need more RCV)
Parvati or Artemis friend leader
With this kind of setup, at any time my 3 orb changers are up (if I have 2 Parvatis) I can turn all Water + Fire + Heal into Wood, which makes for verrrry high attack.
I think I also like Artemis more than Parv as a friend leader, but I only have one friend who has an Artemis, and her leader skill essentially is a combo of Parvati + Cu Chulainn, which while verry nice and could potentially allow me to swap out my Cu Chulainn for something else (I could keep Alraune + Odin, for example, or put in the Wood Ninja if I get him, although I think his active is a shitty one - the other Ninjas have either dark/light -> Color or Color -> Light/Dark). Artemis giving more HP + ATK is good, imo. Parv/Parv is invincible due to HP/RCV, but Parv/Artemis will still have pretty good RCV, not to mention very high HP (especially with a wood mech and maxed evolved odin) so we'll see once we get there.
This is getting insane. I bought too many stones and pulled way too much, as the result is I have way too much teams to work on.
Here's my current lineup!
ADK team:
ADK
Green Ripper
Dark Mech
Dark Ripper
CDK
Parv team:
Evolved Parv
Cu Chulainn
ADK
Green Ripper
Susano no Mikoto (for dmg resist in hedge cases
Working on for this team:
Evolving Cu Chulainn
Getting Wood Mech
Evolving + Maxing Odin
Shiva team:
Evolved Shiva (leader)
Evolved Horus
Phoenix Knight
Evolved Freyr
Echidna
Working on:
Evolving/Maxing Gigas (unsure if I'll get the final evo on him, we'll see), I need another orb changer here
Fire golem
(I have a 2nd Shiva I could use for stats, too)
Dark team (I can make one now!)
Vamp Lord or Loki as leader (working on evolving both to max, not sure which one I should use, but if I use Loki, Vamp Lord will get a place as a sub)
Hattori Hanzo (working on evolving him)
Dark golem (working on evolving him)
evolved Lilith (some poison!)
Valk team (pretty much battle ready, just need to level them up a bit)
Great Valk (apparently her evolution isn't worth it?)
Max skill Siren
Echidna Red Empress x2
Evolved Lilith
I can swap out the Lilith or an Echidna for a 2nd max skill Siren, if needs be.
I'm unsure what I should *really* work on right now. My ADK team is working very well, and doesn't need leveling that much (it would be nice if everything was max level, but it's really not necessary). My Parvati team is getting very very good, but the problem is I have like 3-4 friends with Parvati leaders, so I'm not getting much use out of them. Same problem with Shiva team - few evolved Shiva friends. Dark team needs some love too (although once again no Loki or Vamp Lord friends). My Valk team is very good, and is pretty much ready to tackle Hera when she pops around next time.
I also have an evolved Lakhsmi, although very few good blue subs (Siren, I can make a blue Knight soon, blue ripper, Isis and I can make a blue golem - Isis is great, but only as a leader!)
So that's my thing. My feeling is I should finish up my Parvati team, then maybe focus on my Shiva team, but I'm not 100% convinced this is the way to go. I'd like to eventually be able to farm +eggs, and with a Dark Golem I have a verry good team to do that (even if I sub him in a Parv team instead, just to be sure I benefit from all that).
I could also build teams around Horus or Isis - Isis being much easier to use, I could do that, but I have no idea what to use as subs for this.
Holy shit this is a huge wall of text. Wow,
