Fall Wind Jasper Dragon Caller, Kaede

I don't know, slightly more distance would mean that she could hug you with the tail, I think that's pretty cute.

Better get used to being the little spoon.

Spooning would be a little awkward with that tail in between as well

i would be more scared of horai coming in the room from the window

Thanks, I like knowing that!

Also Tsubaki = camellia (tea plant / flower) and Sumire = violet

Because Susano's abs are not a Dragon.

Gadius', though...

All the man you need is Odin.

Yes thankfully there's always odin. But I need more in my collection

Ikr, and they are going to remove more male gods from special series... I feel these girls are pretty unnecessary in the special gods section, maybe they could get their own series? Anyway, if you like males I suggest playing games like Rage of Bahamut if anime style art is your forte.(Just don't waste money on packs, you won't get something good.)

Too bad most guys don't feel that way about "waifus"

dat stamina refill part in rage tho...

same here, bro

You're kidding, right? the Sengoku series is all dudes. Don't even.

The recent Beach Gronia is perfect for Vati. Combined they make a big burst themselves.

I agree. There's potential, we've just got to figure it out.

Kaede's awoken skills are indeed great, but I would not say that about her active skill tho. Indeed the 35% reduction may work miracles when you don't have enough heart breaking skills to burst, and it is also viable in long-term stalling, since you would have to take damage before the shield so that the heal orbs don't go to waste.

Also, I just pulled her on my mini smurf (and I rerolled) and did some experiments on her skill:

1. Basically, while it is possible to active the damage part of Kaede's leader skill along with the defensive part to make a two-turn burst, it proves to be really hard, not to mention it make things even harder to match other colors as well (that is, without using board changing skills like verdandi's).

2. When you have these kind of leaders in the team, there will be a tiny heart icon to the left of your health bar, which turns into a defensive shield when you cross the hearts. However, that shield, unlike actives, will not last even if you burst the enemy down, which means you still have to use active skills to tank gargantuan pre-emptives.

3. Since her leader skill is a two-parter, she doesn't have a great ATK multiplier and is supposed to be used in a off-tank team. However, even though you may be matching hearts constantly due to her leader skill, her base recovery is seriously not looking good. Personally, I think she is just facing the same recovery dilemma as Blonia, though she does have a better variaties of subs. Valk Elize, when she gets attacker tri-typing, will be of great help to Kaede leads for sure.

These are just my two cents. And here are some facts:

Kaede, being a six* base rare GodFest pull, has the lowest weighted stats among her peers, and a whopping 50 just from Kanna who comes from the same series, not to mention the Odins and D.Meta.

Yes, she has a cost not even 30, and may be good for starters. But without her awakenings, she isn't great for clears at all. Seriously, 1690 attack for an GodFest exclusive Rare attacker at 7 stars? Even the 6 star Sasuke has more base attack!

Yes, thank you, GungHo. I admit these are better than toy dragons, but there used to be excitement when players pull out a Godfest exclusive out of all the silvers and stars. Yes, we get gold eggs for the most part now, and these new cards are GOOD in general. But back in the days of Odins and Metatrons, these seven star beasts were GREAT.

GungHo, no, thanks.

I'm this || close to selling mine (un-evo'd, unawoken; I pulled her in the New Year's godfest) as I just realized she's 50k monster points, and I don't expect to use her any time soon at all. Any idea why she sells for so much more than Tsubaki and Sumire?

(I know from hard experience with Sarasvati that 3 combos of a color is a PITA to get unless your team is FULL of orb-changers, and even then, it's finicky. Sumire is my main lead right now, and when I get the appropriate monsters leveled, Tsubaki will be my red team lead. I love both of them to pieces, but I think Verdandi's going to continue to reign supreme as my green team leader. Kaede's a decent sub, but, um. For 50k MP....)

the cross heart formation is kind of hard to activiate though. but I am happy that they are implementing the universal awakenings though.

100% damage reduction is counter productive, you could just make a system team full of kaede. Then you will always have hearts and wood orbs. That's why I hate stupid stuff like this. Also, hearts and wood orbs are made from non-hearts-and-woods, so you will always have enough for the leader skill.

I agree. Her recovery sucks, her attack is poor for an attacker, and Her leader skill is really difficult to activate. It is inconsistent and should be 100% instead of 35% since it is only for one turn. Her attacking leader skill is requires you to have a full max skilled team of wood orb changers to activate consistently any way. In order to have attacking power to take out enemies the attack with extremely high attacks such as 200k her defense leader skill would be useless and her attacking power would not be enough without at least one of your skills being a x times attack such as a king flaimy. That would take away from your ability to change orb to activate her attacking leader skill. I don't think Verandi would make the best sub since often time she only puts out 4 or 5 orbs in her skill. That is not enough orbs to activate her leader skill.

Oh, but very nice artwork!

It seems there is a tendency that new cards, especially REM cards, have lower costs.

I guess it has something to do with the new rouge dungeon where all cards starts at Lv.1, and lower cost cards level up faster throughout the dungeon.

By the way, Both Sonias and these 3 Japanese(?) summoners are titled "Dragon Caller", the Japanese / Chinese characters are exactly the same: "龍喚士".
Thus I call these ones here "Dragon Callers 2.0", while the 3 Sonias are 1.0.

There should also be a (2.0) Light Dragon Caller, but she is not implemented yet.

Are they even REM?
You can't tell from the US side I don't think.

Cost becomes a non-issue fairly early on. Like, you can chain rank up to that point IIRC.

I think with a heart maker, or a sticker girl in that team, that team would be unstoppable, it can always activiate the defensive leader skill no matter what.

and GZL, all makes quite a good team actually.

I believe it is for that turn

pretty sure that its multiplicative, so it would be 0.5775 dmg reduction

yes

Vishnu for the skill resist.

Looks like I got my wish. Active has been tweaked to only affect non heart and wood orbs

Update: Currently running Awoken Artemis/Awoken Freyja/Kaede/Vishnu/U&Y. Team hits like a truck but lacks utility. Might switch U&Y out for Awoken Karin to give me a way to ditch the jammers/poisons if in a bad situation. Not sure what leader to pair with artemis though. Also thinking about getting rid of Freyja and adding another Awoken Artemis. Thoughts?

It's still Horai.

The fact she summons Horai in its ultimate evo form is crazy just shows she either has a contract with him or she is just that powerful

Skill haste?
Two fingers?
Two 2prongs?

Not exactly ideal for A. Bastet?

lolwut?
