masks
so i've been playing way too much puzzle and dragons. i've been getting as much help as i need from the intertubes. and not much more. which is pretty cool. there are a few things that when i discovered i felt pretty stupid. like the tutorial has you move orbs horizontally. and when i moved one diagonally it shook a finger at me. uh uh uh. as if i wasn't supposed to do that. eventually i figured that one out. and felt really stupid. there's a particular daily dungeon for hunting masks. masks have this colossal defense. damage done to an opponent is your attack minus their defense. i assumed it was pinned at 0. but really it's pinned at 1. masks only have 5 to 18 hit points. so you just need to smack things a few times with any monster and they'll drop. so you go a team leader that keeps you from dying in one hit. masks don't attack very often. so you have plenty of time to heal yourself. the strategy is to knock down all but one of the masks. and build a pretty pattern where you can set up a number of mass attacks in one move. go with a two color team. and low hit points. so an auto healer can get you back up above 70% in one turn. two color monsters work well too. cause they get two taps per turn.
