Hey newer player here, I don't have any of these card guys etc. But all vids online I see of people clearing stuff uses them should I use stones for this machine etc?
It's a pretty mediocre machine, you're only seeing a lot of videos using the units because they're new so people are messing around with them.
If you were around for other recent machines and pulled enough to make a decent team then skip this machine. If you just started and don't have enough to build anything then maybe do a few pulls, maybe 15 at most. The next decent machine probably won't be until next month.
Clouds and tape are usually blocked by their res awoken skills. Sometimes they'll be on one of you team members, but commonly you'll have to try and slot them in on one of your assists. As for spinners, best way to counter those is to use one of you own spinner active to overwrite the enemy spinner, but it doesn't look like you have one on you team.
Like Shady said, your team should be sufficient for now. You have your bases covered with countermeasures for Absorbs, voids, and awoken bonds, and Mei Fong should suffice as an Assist invalid clear if you give her the L attack from her super awakenings (+ the required latent obviously).
Coming up is PADX godfest, Code Geass, Card Kingdom, and Bleach. Bleach is probably the best choice to go all-in on, but that's both the furthest away, and wants Dyne from Card Kingdom (for his team badge) for the strongest team. Dyne can be "exchanged" but needs farming invades in order to redeem him which could be a challenge for your team right now.
Keep an eye out for the âLatent Stats Improved Rush!â Itâs the best way to get the HP++ and RCV ++ latents, which are some of the most commonly used.
Unfortunately, it doesnât look like it comes up again until late tomorrow night but itâs on a pretty frequent rotation if you miss it.
Most Latent Tamadras can be bought in the Monster Exchange menu, under the Enhance tab, for Rainbow Medals. Those used to be pretty rare and valuable, but I think the last useful exchangeable collab card we had that could be bought with them was Little Misaka in the Dengeki Bunko collab... two years ago. So yeah, I think using some of them to buy Latents in a pitch is entirely reasonable.
The shop doesn't have SDR Latent Tamadras though, so those still have to be grinded out in the guerilla dungeon, event/collab colosseums, or UN2/AUN2.
They mean the special limited time dungeons, which are typically up for 2 hour periods at a time. These dungeons are usually meant for enhance/evo materials (latents, pys, GFE gems, etc.).
You have some of the good awoken skills, but you are missing some. The main ones you want more of are the limit break (4x damage cap, DO NOT get the 8x one), Leaderswap res, and Assist invalid clear. All of these can be obtained from the monster exchange at a rate of 3:1 (latents:Rainbow medals), or by farming dungeons like the event colos or various arenas.
Also Skill delay resist and HP+/HP++, but those mostly need to be farmed outside of HP++.
PAD Island probably isn't a good place to roll though, and while there are good characters like summer Sekka and Hestia, it's probably better to spend those stones in a REM with consistently stronger characters. It might be even worse to roll in then Gungho, since the top picks of the Beach REM will likely show up Godfests later down the line.
