Osiris

I like puzzling over many monsters and talking about them, but let's focus on one particular monster.
How-D-Do!

Come in Com in. . . um, Osirus, who is this with you?

Hello my good owl *shakes my wing vigerously* It's so nice to be in this um fiiiine establishment.

Me: Whoot, *points*

Osirus: Oh him? He's perseus, my dear friend, you don't mind a tag a long for the interview I suppose.
*shuffles about finding an extra tea cup* I suppose not. . .
Excellent! *Thunk* sits at table
Well, where to begin
Me: shakes off apron disgurntedly. Well, How about a little about yoruselves?

Ok! Perseus, will you begin
*smooths napkin carefully over lap*
Yes, well my good owl scholar, it went like this:

I am with the Heroes god series, with Pandora, Andromeda, Sun Wokong *I sit up a little straighter* and that fire dude.

I am god/balanced/dragon with very good stats and. . .

Me: Very nice, but what sets you apart?
Oh? Ooooh! I fell in the ocean once, and it took forever to get out. This one time, I had to sneak past two guards to get home at a decent time and I once saved an injured horse. . .

Me: No, I mean your skill set - how does it shape up?

Ah: Well, like this:
2 rows
2 Time Extends
2 Skill Blocks
2 Skill boosts
1 Bind recovery
Water - to Wood and Fire to Heal.

Very nice! Said I. So the rows is for power, the time extends is actually good for Ronove, the skill blocks good for the new leaders who lack the skill blocks, the boosts is necessary at this point and the soft bind recovery is a nice plus! Why thank you Perseus, you are a very well qualified indiv.

Osirus: Ahem, what about me?
Me: Oh be quiet fussbudget. Perseus is a very nice companion - oh all right, tell us about yourself

Oh boy!
Well, I have more recovery, but less attack - for now! My awakenings are:
4 Orb Plusses
2 TPAs
1 Heart plus
1 Time extend

Dang, you are all about attack power, aren't you? that's right! Not many monsters can boast to having orb enhances AND TPAs. . . well, except for Set. In fact, I am related to him in the egyptian series. Me, hathor, set, nut and nyphththyyyys, or something like that. She was always the black sheep in the family. Wanted to go to school and talk to the dead, all that weird stuff.

I will however, be getting a split ultimate!!!

**OOOOOOHHHHHH**!!!!! What's that get you..


.   .    .   I. . .' . . m        Not Sure!

Top hole there wot! I see a pantry, Hey Perseus , Right behind you! Look at this cheese wheel. And this meat! You have it quite nice owl, how about a spot of lunch!

Oh no you don't! That was laid down by my father!
Osiris: Let's open one shall we?
That was a hundred years old!
Osiris: Almost as old as I am, hey persues, find the bottle opener
Me: *nearly sobbing* How about just tea?*
Osiris: Oh, it's no bother at all, *pop* *cork* *Swig* I SAY
Me: . . . . not at all, you're too kind *blows beak into mother's hankerchief*

GodFest and exciting thoughts

Hoot! Good morning! *shakes feathers* Well THAT was a long week of wet wet rain eh? *Brr*

But we have sunshine this morning, a good cup of coffee *yet to be had due to circumstances*, and donuts (zowie)!

I have some unfinished thoughts as to my startup company of HootOwls branch of Puzzles. It's been nearly two years and a company review is quite in order:

1 Quarter:
*going misty eyed* Those were the days. The weather was cold and harsh, the REM was pouring out 3 star golems and we were lucky to have silvers in our futures. What? Oh hehe, a little too far back. Ahem, I got many many REM monsters, but very few made the cut. Even back then I was rather harsh and critical. My first good monster was the nameless Blade Brave, Masamune. He had the 3rd or 4th highest attack in the game at over 2000, and had dual TPAs. A fine fine monster. He was attacker, and meshed well with my later pull of Dino Rider, Wild Drake. Together, along with my Shotel and Ars Nova, I had quite the multi colored attacker team to go with Sheepdog's Cao Cao.

I also got about 6 gods, which were good, but hardly worth it at the time (can you believe it?)
Sakayua (still don't understand her)
Krishna (glad I saved HIM)
Hino
Nephthys
Gabriel (glad I saved her, she is now a staple on my team)

Goes to show you. . .

2 Quarter
I pulled Kopis (the yellow version of Masamune, and he enjoyed a little time until on the bed, in the evening, I randomly pulled and got Satsuki!! 3.5 times attack for all attackers! Best yet. I also pulled Zuoh, Lucifer and Valkryie (dark gods galore!). I had some more gods, and was feeling good!

3 Quarter
Still running Satsuki, and pulled Set!! Yes! first 3 TPA, and awesome fire power. He was my kill shot move on bosses!

Also pulled second poison lilith and 2nd sakuya

4 quarter
Still running Satsuki and pulled Echidna at work. Dissapointed, but she was my delay character FOREVER and ended up being a very very good addition. First character to skill max!

5 quarter
Pulled tons of gods, but not sure what to do with them. Sarasvati, Sumire, max evolved Beelzebub on a whim (stil don't use him), Sun Quan, Ilm, Ameratsu, tried healing team, only ok. Hathor, very good, but still havn't used, and someone called hermes. Hmmmmm

6 quarter
Started running Hermes with Sheepdog. Used Norn, Wiz merlin, sumire, sun quan, Valkryie, found all sorts of water monsters!

7 Quarter
Pulled Lakshmi, 3nd Fenrir, Ceres, Castor, 2nd Hermes, Thor, Zuoh and many others. Using Hermes Exclusively. Pulled 2nd Ilm

8 Quarter - 2nd Christmas time!! Tried my hand at pulling from the christmas and halloween dungeons. Got 2nd Karin, 3rd Sakuya and Freyja. Got Sun Wokong, Apocolyps, Vritra, Tsubaki, lots of dups and Saria.

9 Quarter, experimenting around with dual Ilm and Minerva leads.

*Papers everwhere* Fluttering wildly Hoot? Oh Excuse me, even with my tidy notes, I have over 300 monsters! Yikes! About 180 are fully awoken REM monsters. That's quite the box!!!

Well my dear chaps, we should really get back to the godfest.

A times 4 is good, and no pantheon is mostly a good thing. A dark Gala is always good if we are out for Dark Athena subs like persephone, or a haku or the like. The GFE's also promise level 50 and evolved? Not sure what to think about that.

TIP FOR US THOUGH Its probably a typo which means for every pull we do, we will get compensated for it!!!

Also, the GFEs are highly prized as some of the best monsters in the game - on purpose - curteousy of Gungho. Also the +50 is a nice touch. If we had saved our 100 stones until tomorrow, every one of the pulls at the heroine, well never mind, hoot. That's what happens. I do hope we get good pulls tomorrow! Until then, enjoy your toast! Hoot Hoot Hoot!

Sakuya

Good hoot morning my fellow Pad enthusiasts!

We have had quite the excitement this week what with all these heroines popping about. I myself got twins twice in a row - interesting dilemma. . .

Sheena is a 15k monster point 5 star monster with some interesting stats.
2 dark rows
1 skill boost
2 various killer awakenings
1700 attack
40 RCV
average HP

She is unique in that she can change the board into light/dark. This can be helpful for Myr teams, and actually, paired with Minerva for a psuedo Ilm (Fire/light board). This could be situationally helpful when running my new team Ilm/Ilm/Saria/Castor/Wukong(Sheena)/Minerva

Meridionalis is also interesting:
50k point monster 6 star, with some heavily weighted stats:
5 water rows
1 skill boost
3800HP
1500 Attack
300 RCV
Machine/god

Meteor Shot - Aqua (12 turn cooldown)
Changes dark and heal to water, adds two combos

This ability is better than I first thought, but more on that later:

Leader skill: 2.5 Atk and Rcv for water - always
Atack increases when erasing 6 linked water orbs, up to 4 Times

Leader: 49 times attack and 6.25 times RCV when erasing a row of 6 water.
100 Times attack when erasing 8 Waters connected.

Fantastic! easier than Sarasvati! Also, lots of RCV, so long as you have the HP to back it up. Not a bad idea to pair it with Idunnas(who I think have an HP buff?)

So, She is also good with Khepri, a descended drop who gives 5 times attack to all water, plus attack up to 3 times for 4+ combos. Insane damage.

the catch? Meridionalis cannot match skyfalls, and Khepri cannot erase 3 or 4 orbs! Only sets of 5 or better. Also, Meridionalis has no skyfalls, so the combo count is smaller.

However, try on these possible teams on for size!

1. Meridionalis/Sarasvati/Sumire/A. Hermes/A. Sun Quan/ Blue Odin

Extra HP, lots of HP, and decent attack. Oops, time to go!~
