Next devilmon uses?

[white loom]

I have 36 devils and another ~6 to come from Summoner's Way and current events. These are all my nat5s, and all my used or leveled nat4s. If it's not in the pic, it's not skilled. The X's are skilled mons.
Question 1a: What are my leveling priorities?

• 2a Spectra I assume, and devil him until s2 is maxed? (2-5)
• Wind Homie? He's expensive but seems important (13 if I'm reading things right)
• Sonia? She would only take 9 and seems like a strong unit? (9)
• Haegang- at least until his stip is maxed? He'd also be a cheaper one (?-10)

That would nearly use up my devils. I'm not looking to use them up, but I figure if they would be useful I should use them.

The main thing giving me pause is that I don't have some core nat4s like Triana or Kaki.
Question 1b: Should I be saving devils for when I pull one?

Also fusing for nat4 skillups seems way easier after the change, so- Question 2: Should I fuse for nat4 skills like Kaki?

did you finish PvE?

[white loom]

I'm in weird places for PvE

very solid 2:00 GBAH team, toah is nbd, SSS on all rifts, SF10

I need to build DBAH, NBAH, PC10, R5. Though I think dragons should be easy enough

I haven't done any toaHell

[plucky zenith]

i think at this stage of the game it's better to devil important 2A and keep the rest until you ready for RTA/Siege later on

[white loom]

which 2a are important?

[plucky zenith]

?2a

hmm

?dhole

[hollow geyser]

Second Awakening Priority

2a PvE monsters
Belladeon → Raoq → Vigor/Kro (Order subject to change)
Remember to put tanky runes and 5☆/6☆ the monster you're 2nd awakening!

2a PvP monsters
Elucia/Lulu/Kahli/Eshir/Lala/Chacha

Rune Dungeon Priority
Lumel → Kharzan/Ellunia → Khalderun → Sacreon

Use ?dholeinfo in #bot-commands for dungeon guides and more information.

[white loom]

right

I should ask- which 2a are important to devil?

I'm under the impression you don't devil many 2a

[plucky zenith]

i usually devil anything that has -1 cooldown and chance rate

[white loom]

at least unless there are specific pvp reasons for it

[plucky zenith]

like spectra s2/3

raoq

vigor

like read the popular one people using

if their skill has -1 cooldown, or +activation rate

it worth the skill ups

[white loom]

right

I can take a few educated guesses, but ask because I don't know enough to be sure, and popular opinion can be really bad lol

I'll do spectra for now then

a better question might be this: is there anything important for pve I need to save devils for?

or can I just kind of wing it, do I have the important skillups that I need?

[plucky zenith]

hmmm, devil in PvE isnt mandatory at all, but if you can give them skill ups it's nice to have, something like veromos(kinda mandatory), amir(this is really not needed), spectra, shaman(not needed, but rly nice to have), that's it

the rest would be saved until you pull a good versatile nat5

like sav

coz sav is very versatile

Speeding up GBAH

The first monster upgrade to our GBAH team will be to replace Darion with a 2A Spectra. As you start getting better runes and making your team (in particular Kro) tankier, you shouldn't be needing Darion's passive team damage reduction anymore. Spectra keeps the atk break debuff that Darion had, but adds a really strong nuke with her S2. Using a fire monster against the water Giant boss may seem a bit weird but Spectra is versatile and strong enough to be worth it here. Since the S3 does not actually do damage, it can't glance so her chance to land S3 debuffs is unaffected even when hitting water. Her S2 can glance, but we're still at the point of doing a bruiser team with infinite sustain (as opposed to a late game speed team with no sustain that needs to ensure that damage is dealt) so we're only concerned about average damage output. Glancing and doing no damage half the time is fine, and still an upgrade over Darion who is doing no damage all the time.

Spectra can be obtained from SDs. To skill him up I recommend farming Tamor Hell 1, not just because griffon skillups can drop there but also because you can get both building craft mats Solid Rock and Shining Mythril which you'll need to complete Summoners Way quests.

The 2A B5 dungeon for griffon is pretty easy too, you can use a team of Loren, Kro, Fran (with your 6*'ed and runed Spectra) going straight boss. Yes this does mean you'll have to rerune your Fran and Loren with new runes dropped from Giants. Having to switch runes back and forth to farm different content is too much of a hassle, and soon enough you'll need to use all of these monsters on the same team in Rifts and Raids.

Spectra should be runed very similarly to Vero - Spd/CD/HP, 100 CR (or as close as you can), and 45 acc (making him usable for ToA). Any Atk you can get is nice bonus but not required.

Spectra should be the 2nd monster you devil, after Vero. S2 CD reduction and increased activation for S3 is very helpful.

@white loom maybe keep in touch with this one jx9 making

[white loom]

lol indeed

I was reading each edit as it came out tonight

I just returned to the game like a month ago which was an awkward time to try and find guides and what the current strats are lmao

[plucky zenith]

yea i saw this one and instantly think about u

[white loom]

🫡

yeah it's where I got the idea of deviling spectra at all

makes much sense

especially as he'll be used in DBAH

I've been doing a lot of giants, but I already had a rune base from when I used to play, and now it's really expanded

but

I'm ready to get some violent runes on par with my swift lmao

it's painful seeing some of the runes I roll that are mediocre because they're like energy rather than vio

or a more valid comparison- swift runes that are great but lack speed, so are really awkward
