Penetrate

To keep or change to Jinx?

jinx 2

At the moment, my preference is:
Pressure > Hypnosis Jynx 2 > Magic Force 2 > Penetrate > Paranormal Barrier > Nightmare

Pressure is up there because it can cause absolute havoc in ladder due to super skills only have 3 PPs and 90 power skills only have 5 PPs. With 'super' skills, your monster will only be able to attack once. With 90 power skills, it's only twice. Even if your Vertedeath is defeated by that attack(s), your next monster will have a better set up.

Hypnosis Jynx is certainly still very, very useful but I opted to go for Pressure in ladder due to its reliability. It always processes while Hypnosis Jynx does not. If you have a skill set modelled around Hypnosis Jynx, don't change it. I'm sure it will still work properly.

Penetrate has lost some of its uses. It's still useful for those new Magic Mirrors, etc. However, personally, I don't find it as useful as before. It has certainly gone down in my preference list.

I am really liking my 2 Pressure Vertedeaths set-up at the front of my line-up in ladder - or 1 at the front and 1 at the third.

Good luck!

Hmm. Just pissed about how many runes it took to get penetrate.

On a side note. I've increase my cunning +2 and notice the penetrate verta casting pod less now too. Have u experienced the same?

Does pressure effect your partner in 2v2?

No, it doesn't. It doesn't reduce it in team modes as well.

I haven't upgraded my Cunnings yet as I'm not sure if I will replace them yet. Punishment and Cunning don't go well together so if I do opt for Punishment, Ambush is the better secondary attack. Therefore, I might not be able to offer a better insight. However, I don't as much of a problem with Power of Darkness being casted.

Maybe your monster is too high (level-wise) so it uses Cunning before PoD? They also tend to use Cunning when the opponent's monster's health is less than a set amount.

Good luck!

Lvl 54 cunning + 2 could be it. Guess have to see how it works at 60

Thanks lex
