Does anyone use this for a team for the high rcv? Or is it always just used for experience?

I don't think anyone uses it, but that's not to say it can't be used. A stall team with the fire archangel Uriel would give this little guy 3200 RCV -- an unheard of value, making up about half to a third of what a team like that needs to keep itself afloat in Hera and Zeus descended level dungeons. The two Uriels themselves provide 2424 a piece, meaning that you're getting, quite literally, over 9000 RCV. Throw in that any fire team is gonna use Echidna and you're looking at easily 10k RCV before combos even come into play, easily clearing Hera Descended with almost zero risk. Granted, Uriel doesn't see use because of his lack of a nuke, so you make want to consider a team with 2/2/4 just to keep the timeframe reasonable. It's a shame we're getting this guy and not ID=485, who would absolutely see use on a Lucy team.

I would hold onto him. There are other ways to get red XP. What red doesn't have is a way to get RCV this high on any other creature (main or subtype).
Dark Valk gets to 656 and Echidna to 650, but those are noticeably lower and require maxing a 4 million xp creature.

It can be used in an Enhance Material Team in place of No. 485
Eg
No. 1177 38 Dragon 11 Dragon 11 11 No. 1177

I'm new to PAD and just got this little guy in a REM pull. I was wondering what a Uriel stall team is since I have him too.

Because 38 can be read as "Samba" in Japanese.

Yes, the dragon is modeled after サンバ, the brazillian dance, but it's a Japanese pun saying that 三八(Not thirty-eight, just three-eight) can also be read as サンバ. It's just like how よろしく can be written/read as 4649.
Learn Japanese

Except you are wrong. At least partially. You are correct, in that samba is the referring to the dance. But where you are wrong is the pronunciation of 3 8.
It is true that "thirty eight" is san jyuu hachi, but for the word play that is being presented here, it should be read as "three eight". One pronunciation for 3 is san, and one pronunciation for 8 is ba. Since japanese doesn't have an equilent for the singular sound "M", the "N" sound is often used as a stand in. So, 38 (three eight) can be pronounced as sanba, or samba.
You can read up more here: http://www.tofugu.com/2011/08/30/goroawase-japanese-numbers-wordplay/
Basically, "eight" can be read the following ways in japanese: yatsu ya hachi ha ba eight (eito)

Mostly correct, but in this case the "m" comes from the ん itself - if ん comes before the ぱ, ば, or ま families, it's pronounced as m - hence the occasional romanizations as sempai or tempura. So samba is pronounced as-is in Japanese.

Lol 三発 in the face and ナンパ wit yo mom! (I had to cheat and add a 'tsu' to make 'sanpatsu' though :/)
I like the yoroshiku example, always makes me think of how yakuza comes from the worst hand of hanafuda/oichokabu you can have: 893

Who cares! This game originated in JAPAN, NOT CHINA. Unless you're Chinese or look up to them, no one really cares what it's called in Chinese. The 三八 pun is supposed to be using Japanese words, not Chinese.This reply has been flagged as spamShow

Kaydul in reply to SoWL 7 years ago ( 6.3.1 )
Lol no it can't. "Ba" is not a reading for the kanji "八" the character for eight. 38 in kanji (also how its read with roman numbers) is "三十八" which reads "san jyuu hachi".
The Samba in its name comes from a Brazilian dance where the dancer wears clothing similar to that of the feathers the dragon has on in the picture.This reply has been flagged as spamShow

If you need RCV, it's best just to use second Echidna. I guess this could be a temp until you level her up, but I don't really see it being useful.

It is useful. For feeding to my extant sonia.

He could be used in an Ame No Uzume/ Urial team for example
Ame Horus Goemon or other ?->fire orb changer Echidna Samba Uriel
That makes a pretty solid 2,3.5,2 team with lots of rcv to stay above 80% and a super explosive spike attack goemon->Horus x3.5 makes for a full panel 30 orb x9.1 Ohko for some mid to high level bosses

I have this card. Not sure where I got it from. I have been holding on to it. If fused with another red card it will give 150,000 xp
