Puzzle & Dragons - Shiva Dragon Descended! - 4 BUILDS [ SOLO ]

[@monsieurchoubi]

Edit : Have tried the Minerva Team and I wasn’t really effective at first but as soon as I got it, it was a 100% success rate ! Was able to evolve one of my ShivaDra ! Still a lot to get the second and third one but no rush ^^ Anyway thanks for your advice 🙏 Hope we will have the same videos for the next one 😋

[@Envy973]

I did all my 12 run with the minerva team. But I cried when I saw the second team (witch I can more or less build). It was so tedious ='(! Like alwaysn good video man!

[@terraSpark902]

I managed to use a Reincarnated Burning Phoenix Knight instead of 1 of the Minervas! Might even be able to replace all the Minervas with him. I gave him all dragon killers and when I managed to hit 10 combos he was the NVP definitely. I was extremely happy because he's as free of a card ad they can possibly get! Only 3 stars on him lol.

[@monsieurchoubi]

Thx for that, will try the Minerva one on my JP account, didn’t have the time to look for it until now so the lazy way will be good until I can do the other ones 😋

[@ryulee1996]

It's just cool how Minerva looks like she's part Valkyrie.

[@heathmcrigsby]

With my FOUR seinas I went the double seina system route. worked out nicely for me

[@BiraPAD]

It's a build I haven't had time to try... but I've heard about it! ...and I sure could have put it together... 🤣

[@heathmcrigsby]

@@BiraPAD My favorite part of that team is the scheat with auto follow heart column for floor 2 lol

[@HarpiePlayerJoeHPJ]

Idk if we are gonna have an update using the new Minerva. I have been using them for the past few days to farm Shiva dragon gems. Not bad with 3 new form Minerva and Karin.

[@BiraPAD]

I also heard about new builds that take advantage of recent badges but I haven't had the chance to delve into the topic yet... 😔

[@wealthydruid]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial!! Question: how to avoid leader swap on Floor 6? Thanks!

[@BiraPAD]

Wait... which swap?! 😵

[@wealthydruid]

@@BiraPAD sorry, it's F4, the red kid with damage absorption. SOMETIMES (I don't know what triggers it) he swaps a random team member with the leader. I would normally die when this happens. Did it not happen to you while you farm? Or your farming team didn't require you to tank him for 3 turns? I went to Skyozora to look up the dungeon. Seems that this is one of the four sets of mechanics (the other 3 being five bombs, half rcv, lock 6 orbs). But the website doesn't specify the condition that triggers it.

[@BiraPAD]

I think it has to do with a certain HP threshold, although I don't know exactly what percentage... I don't know which team you are using at the moment, but no, that mechanic is usually not taken into consideration as it can be bypassed.

[@wealthydruid]

@@BiraPAD I'm using the Minerva system. I'm also thinking about it might have to do with the enemy's HP. I will collect more data and get back to you. I have 3 ShivaDra to evolve and level lol...

[@luisescalante4082]

Would've really helpful to understan what triggers the leader swap, it happened to me as well

[@jiv3o275]

I only have 2 Feitans for the second team, do you think a team with both of those plus a minerva and karin would work?

[@BiraPAD]

Certainly, even if you'll have to stall here and there...

[@jiv3o275]

it took a couple hundred stamina to get the hang of it, but I was able to clear. Now... how do I get shiva dragon lol I'm a new player and thought this was adungeon for a ftp unit lmao

[@BiraPAD]

The Shiva Dragon is available for purchase in the MP Shop for 300K MP. Not long ago there was an event during which all the MP Dragons (this is the name of the "series" to which the Shiva belongs) were sold for half their value and many bought at least THREE in anticipation of this dungeon and this particular evolution... Unfortunately, if you're a new player you may not have the resources to buy even one... 😔

[@jiv3o275]

@@BiraPAD rip 😔

[@Susanoo179]

For the Feitan team is there an alternative for Menuit?

[@BiraPAD]

Uruka (3525) is the only one with a comparable skill. 👌

[@mushundir5238]

I know this is an old video, but I just started playing again off and on after a long time not playing. Is there an alternative to Cian in the 2 shiva farm team?

[@BiraPAD]

I think you can use any looping-heal in her place, now there are even 40% ones per turn! 💪

[@forcast2135]

Is there an alternative for Lakshmi in the third team?

[@BiraPAD]

I think any (at least 35%) multi-turn shield can work... Lakshmi is only the best in this context.

[@forcast2135]

@@BiraPAD yea I ended up using ameno and seina instead of lakshimi and cian and it still works pretty well

[@barfbagvonvape]

Is Kuroyuri only there for the charge and the FUA or is she there for the healing? I lucked out with the 2 Feitan's and Menuit, but i never really thought I'd need a Kuroyuri 😅

[@barfbagvonvape]

What about Rinoa (2036)? She has an FUA, she charges one skill, and heals 50% (but only for 1 turn)

[@BiraPAD]

Unfortunately Kuroyuri is central in that build (like every other element): her haste but, above all, the continuous regeneration of HP make her mandatory, especially to survive against the Boss (after it has modified the team's HP). 😔

[@barfbagvonvape]

@@BiraPAD ugh big sad. Thanks for the help! I guess I'll have to suffer with the Minerva team. Gross. 😆

[@MonarchSunny39]

I'm stuck on the strawberry dragon. I just do way too much damage, I knock it down to one HP barely comboing and then it fully heals and kills me after going back and forth for 15 minutes

[@BiraPAD]

Which build are you trying with?

[@MonarchSunny39]

@@BiraPAD I was actually able to beat it right after I made this comment. I had to change my team a little bit to do less damage. I kept pushing it down to 1 and it would revive itself

[@Watashiwazetsubou]

tried the minerva team with only 2 devil killer latents on karin. was almost able to do it without using a stone but rng hit me hard on the parvati floor as well as the krishna floor where my leader got switched. got 1 sup reincarnated shiva dragon now. just gotta run this 8 more times to get 2 more lmao

[@BiraPAD]

💪💪💪

[@OistheOne]

What card can I use instead of Karin? I've been playing this game for 5 years and have NEVER been able to get a normal Karin, just Christmas and valentines, so annoying... I haven't been able to pass this Shiva dungeon ever

[@BiraPAD]

...maybe Leilan (6760) could work in her place... 🤔

[@shadexvii3975]

I know this is a slightly older video by now, but what would one do with a single Shivdra? Just keep using a team until you get 2?

[@BiraPAD]

Your goal is to have THREE fully skilled ShivaDras so as to have the famous "system" that many use to complete various dungeons with as many leaders (more or less optimal). Unfortunately, for all those who didn't farm the dungeon during the debut event, it's now much slower to skill the three ShivaDras since there is no longer the guaranteed sill-up clause... 😩 ...at this point I think it's much faster to wait for the return of the GungHo Collab (and then farm Py en masse) or farm the JoJo Expert dungeon and then trade for RainbowPy.

[@shadexvii3975]

@@BiraPAD I see. I mean, I couldn’t even really clear the thing successfully when it first came out. Still can’t do it too well tbh. And I still need the mats for my other 2 dragons to get them to reincarnated form

[@BiraPAD]

It had been a real full immersion... 🤢 ...but still today it remains the best investment ever made in over TEN years of PAD. 💪💪💪

[@shadexvii3975]

@@BiraPAD nice

[@RealCatInWindow]

What are the latents on the 2nd and 3rd Shiva Dragon?

[@BiraPAD]

Damage Absorption Piercer (6607), the "Fujin" Latent. 😉

[@christopherhicks1719]

i only have one minerva and the karin. what can i replace the other two minerva’s with?

[@BiraPAD]

...any sub that quickly (ideally every 3 turns) generates Fire. 😉

[@capnsquishy4310]

Found success with another build: 4431 - Red Odin 10441 - Shana 10441 - Shana 10156 - Leilan Pheasant Mostly using the Shanas but l still hate that strawberry dragon.

[@BiraPAD]

Have you tried watching this updated video? 👌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWmwh3qdi5imm6M

[@capnsquishy4310]

@@BiraPAD *facepalm* I somehow missed that video. But I finally got the stone for beating the Shiva Dragon dungeon. Are there any farmables that you use that newer players (like me) should get and how many? Like the Mecha gods, since I've needed gems for evos.

[@BiraPAD]

NY Nordis just finished and Samurai Sword just before that, during Chainsaw Man... In the past there was JP during the SF Collab... but nothing you can currently farm. 😭

[@James-ti3vl]

Dam the Shiva dragon dungeon is such a pain to farm even with this team

[@BiraPAD]

It's been so long that I'm sure there are better performing teams these days... but yes, it's still a boring dungeon to complete. 🤢 However, it's advisable to use it only to collect Gems for evolutions: skill-ups must be farmed through Py and favorable events. 😉

[@Poopoocaca-b2j]

Is there a replacement for the 3rd and 4th sub for the feitan team

[@BiraPAD]

Izuko Gaen (6795) in place of Kuroyuri, Uruka (3525) in place of Menuit.

[@RumbleFighterPerson]

Is there anything I can replace for 5520 on double farm team?

[@BiraPAD]

I was also asked on Reddit but neither I nor any other user had managed to find a real replacement: unfortunately that skill is currently unique... 😔

[@RumbleFighterPerson]

@@BiraPAD Yeah that skill is insanely unique, guess I will just have to wait until I have 3 shiva drags before I farm skill ups..thank you for this helpful guide

[@chambraysalute4259]

@@BiraPAD Could you use GS Seawolf now?

[@poklipfoedoe7716]

I keep getting taken down by Krishna because he switches shiva with Minerva so I have to damage reduction:(

[@BiraPAD]

The "standard" team is undoubtedly the most boring and slow... but it's also very reliable, if you have no other alternatives. 👍

[@christopherrussell6055]

When Krishna leader swaps, you can use Karin to heal to full; I usually take long enough on the subsequent turns that she’s ready to go again when she needs to be on the boss

[@invictus7519]

What if I only have 1 minerva ☹️

[@BiraPAD]

It's possible to complete the dungeon using 3 REvo Homura (2739) instead of the Minervas... they are less strong but fully farmable. 💪

[@kg83]

Nice but I just dont have the power

[@Hitmonstahp]

Was farming skill ups, got to Shivadra, popped Shiva, didn't have the orbs, so popped Lakshmi like a fool. Whole run wasted 😣

[@Hitmonstahp]

Proceeded to fail two more runs. Maybe I'll just stick to Pys 😓

[@BiraPAD]

It's the best choice, also because (currently) the skill-up bonus is no longer active and therefore it's much less profitable!! Once you have collected the Gems to evolve the 3 or 6 ShivaDra, it's much better to focus on temporary dungeons or events that allow you to accumulate Flampy or Rainbowpy in mass. 👌

[@alan-huang]

Can’t make any of those 😔

[@BiraPAD]

Don't be discouraged, there are countless teams that can conquer this dungeon! 💪 Many have used Seina (6659) but any orb-changer that does some damage and has a low CD can work. ...or you can always consider the SWAP, with Daytona or the usual Macha...

[@SonnyAurora]

blesss

[@kg83]

Only got 2 nirvs

[@BiraPAD]

Priscilla (7026) can be a good substitute. 👌

[@kg83]

She's a fire card right

[@kg83]

The only one I have is the new years Priscilla

[@BiraPAD]

If you're trying to compose the team with the three Minervas you can evaluate many substitutes ... in the end, you only need a sub that generates Fire with a low CD, from 3 or less. 💪
