Garden of Dismay strategies

[Kulimar]

any suggestions for a substitute for astra (which i dont have)? my best lineup so far has been pharoh (thorn, blind), golden pharoh dog (energy, invis), angel of fear (theif, explosive), and gunner dog (immunity, burning, guard). only been able to auto up to VII or VIII. and it takes forever.

Hmm, well, I think anyone with multi-hits that has a chance to remove or steal buffs would be a good replacement. Mons that come to mind:

• Wrath
• Purple Droid (has Void Shield aoe and multihits)
• Alliance General (on Counterstrike)
• Sentinel Allied Soldier
• Gunner Golden Son (On Purge)
• Lady Azov
• Mayan Priestess Sentinel (on Counter)
• Assassin Trickster (Immortal or Double Fate)
• Warrior Trickster (on Counter)
• Gunner Hellraiser (on Purge)

Also, I suppose any multi-hitter that can use the Purge Talismans has a chance to be useful as a replacement. Also any team or mon that can make use of Echo buffs, like maybe a team with the Crimson Pharaoh Dog and buff removers can work. Haven't tried it though.

Finally got a chance to optimize auto teams for Dismay today. I have two to share:

Fast, but Risky:

• Tailgunner Eddie - Echo Shell
• Golden Pharaoh Dog - Purge/ Advantage / Random Green
• Gunner Dog - Counter Strike / Health / Rando Gold
• Gunner Chopper - Immortal / Immunity Rando Green

The team is fast, but it's not 100% safe. Sometimes Tailgunner gets focused down and dies. There might be a safer set to put him on to make this team more reliable. Maybe Counterstrike or the new Steel Talismans, but guessing it wouldn't clear the waves as fast.


Safe and Pretty Fast:

• Navigator Eddie - Invisibility / Paralysis
• Golden Pharaoh Dog - Purge/ Advantage / Random Green
• Gunner Dog - Counter Strike / Health / Rando Gold
• Gunner Chopper - Immortal / Immunity Rando Green

The team is pretty consistent, have yet to lose. However, on average the times can vary a lot more with this team (from 4 min up to 8 on an unlucky run). It could probably be improved by changing Talismans on Navigator to Purge or Chance or something, just haven't gotten around to it.

I'll try some more and see if I can get anything better. Pretty happy with these so far though.


Update



Sometimes the second team can luck out and clear it even faster than the first one.

My working team for auto farming GOD X is:

VHE (Guard + Immortality)
Gunner Dog (Boost + burning + shell)
Golden Pharaoh Dog (Power + Invisibility)
Astra (Fate + immunity + random yellow)

Average time is 5 mins

[blade685]

if it can help, i'm using in X and it take 5-6 min:

Pharaoh Eddie on lead with 2 immunity will, 3 energy ward, 1 strength fierce
Golden Pharaoh Dog on left with 3 energy, 3 angel
Wrath on middle with 3 fate, 3 immortal
Gunner Dog on right with 4 Echo

All fully sharded
Place is important

no chance with loot for now, only one useless vampiric talisman in 10 runs
I will test in IX for same loot and perhaps a little faster and safe

[natasar]

Just did three GoD X runs on auto with this team (all fully sharded):

Pharaoh Eddie (Advantage-Life-Iron)
Astra (Immortality-Shell+1 green)
GD (Counter-Stone+1 yellow)
GPD (Energy-Immunity+1 green)

Time varies between 5:30 and 8:30 so far. The team is far from perfect, especially the talisman builds (I have basically been too lazy to change anything and use the chars right as I had them). I do not think the team is 100% safe either, but it does the job so far.

My working team for auto farming GOD IX is alomost the same as someone else posted. I am going to go to X and give that a go today too but I seem to get a better haul from IX usually:

VHE (Guard + Immortality)
Gunner Dog (Echo and random yello and green)
Golden Pharaoh Dog (Energy + Angel)
Astra (Immortality + Endure)

All maxed talisman too.

Three of these are also sometimes swapped in and out of my PVP team as cant be bothered changing stuff....I know, I am lazy and hence why my PVP win rate is usually only 85%!

Average time is 4-5 mins with best time 3 mins 7 secs.

I’ve tried today some various allies, but it seems that the two Gunner dogs are the ones for the job, without them it gets either slowly, either someone is killed.

So, my current auto-farming team for GoD X is not much different than the most of the teams here, with one single exception, as I replaced the VHE / Pharaoh with the Visions.

Visions (Angel + Paralysis)
Golden Pharaoh Dog (Power + Angel)
Astra (Voids + Energy)
Gunner Dog (Burning + Ascension + Advantage)

The running times are somewhere between 6 and 7 minutes, but I haven’t done too much rounds, yet.

Switched to GoD IX now, replaced Pharaoh with VHE (Guard-Vampiric) and changed the GPD setup to Energy-Angelic. It's working like a charm right now. Average time is about just under 4 mins.

On the downside, as Yup just said, talismans do not seem to drop. I just got one single talisman since the event started. Luckily, it was a Lightning talisman - a set I have yet to complete.

Most i play most i think that NF don't want to keep players in the game
They do only bad choice and boring us, it's incredible
Personally i stop to play that event , i lose my time on it

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but Iron Eddie is great on Garden of Dismay X to burn through the droids. Then when I got to the end I switched to Grim Reaper with Gunner Dog and Corrupt Droid.
