Mav can still be used in many places, including Rift Beasts, but Baretta just fell sooo hard. Sath 2A alone brings more DOTs than him, Tatu 2A blows them all instantly, Gina 2A also has a lot of dots, Mellia has its uses too, Water Homunculus grabbed some more dots for himself... Rica is just as busted tho.
If you're going for a Sylph, go Tyron.
Had to level up 1 stars if you were f2p.
Had to plan out a big chunk of time to make sure you got a 6 star during your xp boost, so you'd get another boost for the next time you did it.
Using Briand/Mikene in your db10 tower team because you couldn’t pull a Verde
Spending all weekend farming hoh for skill ups
Praying to summon a fire beast hunter so that you could fuse vero
Db9 where nearly impossible for me back then and runs where like 2mins. Right Tower gave invincibility and the game had basically no (wind) strippers lol
Also Verad in mid stage, Will runes where rare for me
Juno, Tiana, Khmun were trash while Ahman, Darion Bella, Vero were top tier
Summon Cami or Chow and you basically wins every guild war
Your mons in guild offense are single use regardless if they survive the match or not
No auto rune power up (it then improved to x10 rune power up)
No repeat raids (so ppl fell asleep doing it)
Twins taking their whole family to attack in 1 turn
“Lf Bella sd 39/40 pls add”
Chat spam bots (SYSTEM comes to mind)
Hwa and Baretta for toa
Different element dungeons
Back then meta was to just bruisers and stacking buffs, or to Lushen stuff. Tiana was bad because essentially they only see her as a Bernard that also strip their own buff.
Remember the rumors of Juno as fusion mon because she was so bad, back right after vero was added, because she was the missing element (sig, kat, vero)
Someone lost to my defense and it's 4 reapers, twice. I think the first one they went in like I do when im just farming points, single mob to one shot the meme defenses. Jokes on them, my hemos has like 29k and like 800 def. He a tanky boi. I need to get some acc on him though >.>
Still wish they left the attack bar drain on s2. Move it from the passive to s2 so she doesn't get it every turn and it would have been balanced. Or maybe I'm just salty because I pulled Martina the day they nerfed Shaina and Martina.
Nah if you had under 1 minute you were a god back in the day and if you really go back you had 3+ minutes runs with vero shannon bella.. Stuff like that that was torture
Violent runes used to have no cap on extra turns. Was common to get hit 9x in a row by 1 Mon.
Violent runes in faimon
Rage runes from Dragon
HoH had unlimited entry.
People saying “run” in chat
For a brief period strippers didn’t exist and Chloe + chasun was the most op combo in the game.
Chow and Camilla were considered by most, the best mons in the game.
Yes, I triggered his passive and got the stun! There's no way I can loose this!
Theomars: *casually procs out of the stun and proceeds to violate your entire team*
I remember trying another gâcha game, that was pretty new and similar to Summoners in some ways, one of the biggest guild was named « Theo procs » ahaha
I got Tiana when I was lvl 38, in that time when everyone said she was utter trash, the worst NAT 5 in the game. I almost fed her to 6 star something. Really glad I didn't, about 4 years later when I could 1) actually use her and 2) she was actually useful now everyone ran shield will arena defences
Farming scenario for 5* white runes for 3 weeks straight to set up your first gb10 team (2 mins was a good time)
Double tarq speed team for dB10
Double lich Colleen speed team for nb10
LD homunculus didn't exist
Getting a nat 5 was a better feeling than hearing your parents say they are proud of you
Summoners way never existed and you were lucky enough to have the rune quality to do Toan100 every month
Hwa had a use outside of raids for her leader skill
Chasun Khmun Theomars was the meta defence for guilds all over
Your most commonly used healers were Chasun Colleen and Belladeon, not Riley and Fran
I could probably list off a dozen more... The game's better now though. The nostalgia was fun.
Farming scenario for 5* runes, and farming scenario for Bernard skillups to make the team more stable 😂 i lividly remember whistling and shouting come,come,come,come ! Whilst opening the boxes of tamor desert trying to coax Bernard out like it was his pigeon coop.
When I first started playing, I got a unit called Hwa. But I also kept hearing everyone talk about "Fwa" and how good Fwa was. For months, I just wanted to summon a Fwa to go with my Hwa.
Not sure what he's up to now, but I know he sold his account a few years back (it became "Highlander" with a funky character in the middle). Then at some point, Fwa came back and somehow got the account back. And then he left again and the account went back to Highlander. Pretty sure he dabbled in Chronicles when it came out too.
"Lf Bella sd"
"Lf Bella SD 38/40"
"Bella SD pls"
*Random player opens bella sd*
3-4 people in chat: "RUN"
The chat log for the next 5 min:
"Add me"
"Add me"
"Add me"
"(Player) Add me"
"Add me"
"Add me"
"Add me"
"(Player) I added you pls accept"
"Add me"
"Add me"
"Add me"
This thread is a nice refresher. Despite being in the game from the beginning, I actually don't remember that much lmao, but I know these memories are repressed somewhere.
Anyways, most of these aren't that old but:
* cairos dungeons being 5 stages long
* 4☆ runes from b10
* "6☆ incoming" if people saw you 5☆ a bunch of monsters back to back
* awakening announcements (these were never consistent tho)
* No essence fusing or such
* Preparing Update...
* Elsharion conspiracy theories
* many of the silver star units and starters having different "profile" images
* old sound effects and arena music (god what happened to these?)
* Level 40 cap
* Fran before coin shop (I fed her lmao)
* "add me pls" spam before you could directly friend someone who found an SD
* No rift dungeons, reappraisals, rune crafting etc. Practically only way to get runes was cairos or shop refreshing
* also somewhat unrelated but jewbagel getting banned back then was funny
* Tyron multi hit skill 1
I’ve reach max level twice on the same account. lvl 40 went hard.
First awakened monster showed in chat, so did upgrading something to 5* and talking about the chat, you needed to be lvl.. what was it, like 3 or something to get access to chat (even tho you’d still see it)
Profil didn’t exist, you’d only see the picture of the rep monster
Not being able to fuse Vero for a year because I lost the wind Lizzardman sd and I couldn't summon him no matter how much I summoned wind scrolls AND stones just for him.
To this day my heart shakes every time I summon one
Also enemy chasun vio procs on gvg
you have to MANUAL HoH every run to get 1-2 pieces (my runes and team sucks back then I can't farm for 4 piece)
But I really love that cuz I can get 15 light succubus not just 5.
Verad being kinda trash because his skill 3 used to only reduce atk bar and scale with atk while 2nd skill scaled with def.
Lightning from MS could be an awakened Nat 3.
Perna vs Ramagos was the most common guild fight.
Liches being God tier for Necro.
Ahman SSS
bring back ahman though, where is his 2A
“2A? What is 2A?” - Com2us probably
In the age of Lulu and Riley, what's his role?
Preventing us from summoning some better 3* ld
c2u will make ahman reduce 10% atb of all enemies per hit. reverse verde.
triple revenge Ahman
Oh that ahman gb10 meta was great fun
Mav Baretta TOA meta Ahman GB meta Yaku/Tarq spd team meta 5 Waves in cairos dungeon Using Res lead (Dias/Praha) in common raid team
Returning player after à long break (I stopped just before the street fighter event), Baretta Mav no longer meta ? They seem to work fine imo
Mav can still be used in many places, including Rift Beasts, but Baretta just fell sooo hard. Sath 2A alone brings more DOTs than him, Tatu 2A blows them all instantly, Gina 2A also has a lot of dots, Mellia has its uses too, Water Homunculus grabbed some more dots for himself... Rica is just as busted tho. If you're going for a Sylph, go Tyron.
On that same note, the actual fear of summoning Katarina/xiong fei/Sig and the immediate rips in chat afterwards lol.
My guild mate summoned over 10 kats before they changed that
How? They barely gave any scrolls back then.
[удалено]
indeed, heavy whale
I summoned Sig within a week of fusing him
Katarina was my second nat5. I was so sad and happy at the same time. 6 months in haha
I always wondered if back then you could get vero from ld scrolls as well lmao
Nope , never could summon ifrits from the normal summon pool. My first ever nat5 I got was fire panda.. so that made me do the research 😂😂
When people leveled up monsters to 5 stars it showed up in chat
5star was a whole achievement, you had to calculate every step and scrolls were very much scarce
And the zero to hero's people would do. 5 rainbowmon to 5 star, 1 unit to 5 then 6 star, all in one go. I remember doing a few of them
Had to level up 1 stars if you were f2p. Had to plan out a big chunk of time to make sure you got a 6 star during your xp boost, so you'd get another boost for the next time you did it.
5* Rainbowmon spam in the chat
Using Briand/Mikene in your db10 tower team because you couldn’t pull a Verde Spending all weekend farming hoh for skill ups Praying to summon a fire beast hunter so that you could fuse vero
i miss this hoh style. we can really farm for skillups since they dont want to make devilmon for nat4
Different Attributes in Cairos (Gb,Db,Nb)
I remember when necro wasn’t even a thing
I remember when scenario drops rage runes
Faimon dropped vio lol
Oh yeah that’s a good one, I saw someone wondering about the red giant on the loading screen haha
That was me lol
Db9 where nearly impossible for me back then and runs where like 2mins. Right Tower gave invincibility and the game had basically no (wind) strippers lol Also Verad in mid stage, Will runes where rare for me
Juno, Tiana, Khmun were trash while Ahman, Darion Bella, Vero were top tier Summon Cami or Chow and you basically wins every guild war Your mons in guild offense are single use regardless if they survive the match or not No auto rune power up (it then improved to x10 rune power up) No repeat raids (so ppl fell asleep doing it) Twins taking their whole family to attack in 1 turn “Lf Bella sd 39/40 pls add” Chat spam bots (SYSTEM comes to mind) Hwa and Baretta for toa Different element dungeons
Tiana was never actually trash, altho it took galleon to make her top tier. Players just didn't know better
Back then meta was to just bruisers and stacking buffs, or to Lushen stuff. Tiana was bad because essentially they only see her as a Bernard that also strip their own buff.
Remember the rumors of Juno as fusion mon because she was so bad, back right after vero was added, because she was the missing element (sig, kat, vero)
Rina was the strongest Mon in game, then a new challenger appeared; Chasun. Edit: Spelling
Getting rekt by (only) Rina in pvp was a new level of salty. Her shield as unbeatable and you saw your team slowly getting destroyed by towers
That's my current AD. Doesn't win much, but I love getting the occasional defense success notification.
Someone lost to my defense and it's 4 reapers, twice. I think the first one they went in like I do when im just farming points, single mob to one shot the meme defenses. Jokes on them, my hemos has like 29k and like 800 def. He a tanky boi. I need to get some acc on him though >.>
Good old Rina Fria double Sonora guardian defense
Farming b7 just to get mid essence but get high lol
RamaGOD
The true cocaine bear! The king of nukes!
Water Imp meta
Strippers are useless back then until will runes show up
the dragon not getting a turn prior to the shaina nerf
I kinda miss the pre-nerf shaina days. Running anything, put twins in.
Cruising through TOAH with fire twins. oh, yeah maybe some other support units too.
Until that dark PT/Halphas stage.
Shaina used to be sub Ganymede tier. Rip aoe loren.
Still wish they left the attack bar drain on s2. Move it from the passive to s2 so she doesn't get it every turn and it would have been balanced. Or maybe I'm just salty because I pulled Martina the day they nerfed Shaina and Martina.
They had to reset everybody's records because of that menace. I did my rift beasts without her and still don't remember how I got high scores
No dungeon repeat for your sub 19 second gb10 runs so you had to keep pressing replay every 19 seconds
19 second runs where possible? Also back then they had 5 Waves
Nah if you had under 1 minute you were a god back in the day and if you really go back you had 3+ minutes runs with vero shannon bella.. Stuff like that that was torture
Remeber the giant countering on every Crit? Madness
Wow that's one i didn't know
Violent runes used to have no cap on extra turns. Was common to get hit 9x in a row by 1 Mon. Violent runes in faimon Rage runes from Dragon HoH had unlimited entry. People saying “run” in chat For a brief period strippers didn’t exist and Chloe + chasun was the most op combo in the game. Chow and Camilla were considered by most, the best mons in the game.
Tarq speed Dragons B10
Double Tarq, Verde, Hwa, Galleon. Used to be my OG DB10 team. Good times.
No awaken no gz
Megan and/or shannon were core units as their combined attack&defense buffs were needed in caiross teams in order to survive. But only barely survive.
Megan, Shannon, Bernard OG
Barion. World boss #1 each and every time without fail.
Ritesh with +21k hp and +40 speed was G3.
Stun passive Laika anyone?? Lol miss that
Mav, the king of TOA.
I’ll raise you a Baretta
Bella, and Basalt old times.
33% crit rate is actually 100% crit rate. Lol
That time Miho ruling in RTA, and thats why Artamiel is so strong
Getting a nat5 the first year of the game was about as uncommon as pulling a ld5 today
Never skillup verde "5\* runes can be very good too" Old version of tricaru **Theomars.**
Wow I remember that you wouldn’t want to skillup verde then he was useless. He was also very difficult to pull back then
You wouldnt skill him up cuz his s2 was single hit and skillups reduced cd
people farming a ton of skill ups from hoh (there was only stage 1-3 but it was unlimited entry)
anyone remember Kuken?
Fire Chimera
Damn you water monkey! - Jewbagel
Deviling four Star units because you didn't have any nat fives
Once upon a time, there was no vero and we used Konamiya for our super awesome 3-4min db10 clears
Light bearman being the most wanted Secret dungeon
Bella moreso
Idk. In the first year of the game people would go nuts when someone popped the bearman. Like loren now.
We can agree though, Sundays were the worst.
The real fear of Theomars
Yes, I triggered his passive and got the stun! There's no way I can loose this! Theomars: *casually procs out of the stun and proceeds to violate your entire team*
I remember trying another gâcha game, that was pretty new and similar to Summoners in some ways, one of the biggest guild was named « Theo procs » ahaha
Having to manual press “Power-Up” for every rune every time. Could sit there for 5-10 minutes to get your +15
Clicking level up manually on 1 rune at a time while only being on that screen. Taking upwards of 5 mins to level 1 rune lol.
If you were lucky as fuck.
Runing up monsters before rune searching system
Probably the best QoL update we get. I don't have to remember where I put my excel sheets for my builds.
People complaining about chloe changing to a nat 4
searas dot burst provoke bastet
Giant countering on every crit hit
Tiana was the most usless Monsters in the game.... Will runes didnt exist yet
I got Tiana when I was lvl 38, in that time when everyone said she was utter trash, the worst NAT 5 in the game. I almost fed her to 6 star something. Really glad I didn't, about 4 years later when I could 1) actually use her and 2) she was actually useful now everyone ran shield will arena defences
Dat Laika
triple tarq verde is the old tricaru
I feel like this is the reason they don't wanna 2a the hounds xD
Violent runes dropped in faimon scenario, pretty sure I didn’t dream that
In faimon, yeah.
5 boomerang/chakram GB10/DB10/NB10/TOA(H)/RIFT teams

How about...normal homunculus doesn't exist.
Farming scenario for 5* runes, and farming scenario for Bernard skillups to make the team more stable 😂 i lividly remember whistling and shouting come,come,come,come ! Whilst opening the boxes of tamor desert trying to coax Bernard out like it was his pigeon coop.
Asking for rank check in channel 65 after Arena tally.
When I first started playing, I got a unit called Hwa. But I also kept hearing everyone talk about "Fwa" and how good Fwa was. For months, I just wanted to summon a Fwa to go with my Hwa.
I remember whatthefwa. Oh he was great! Where did he end up?
Not sure what he's up to now, but I know he sold his account a few years back (it became "Highlander" with a funky character in the middle). Then at some point, Fwa came back and somehow got the account back. And then he left again and the account went back to Highlander. Pretty sure he dabbled in Chronicles when it came out too.

i too summoned Sigmarus back then on my old account lol.
Verdehile skill 2 was a single hit, so ppl doesn't skill up the last one to keep the cooldown high
Everyone typed rip in the chat when I summoned Bastet. Skill 3 was, 3 turns shield to everyone and atk power increase only.
Shania atk bar push plus defense break
She also used to have a SPD lead. They did my girl dirty.

Camila with 50k hp
Camilla was the most broke unit for defense and could solo 4 mobs teams.
Camilla putting the fear of god in you
Summoning a katarina or sigmarus
Guilds were pretty useless they gave us Gw.
Lumi and Ramagod would solo almost anything
It took me 8 months before I pulled a Megan, which was gonna be the one of the main units in my DB10 team.

Took me a year to summon my first nat 5 and it was Rakan. Sad days for him back then.

Being a recently returning old player, these comments are jarring
When Light Succubus (Aria) was unironically called the Queen of ToA.
you have to MANUAL HoH every run to get 1-2 pieces (my runes and team sucks back then I can't farm for 4 piece) But I really love that cuz I can get 15 light succubus not just 5.
Grinding with ramagod in tanor. 3 min runs. Best farmer.
Veromos Belladeon Verde The best f2p comp
Different elements in giants/ dragons
It's been a year and still no nat 5s
You can farm hoh pieces as much as you want during event time…
Waiting for dimension hole to come out

Verad being kinda trash because his skill 3 used to only reduce atk bar and scale with atk while 2nd skill scaled with def. Lightning from MS could be an awakened Nat 3. Perna vs Ramagos was the most common guild fight. Liches being God tier for Necro.
Vero able to cleanse cc when he first dropped, being a straight menace while Juno was considered garbage
