So I figured that I would finally share my total costs spreadsheet for all technologies from lvl 1-150 academy.
Feel free to let me know if I have any values wrong.
359 ele = 5285 (was hoping this would be 125% dmg out / 75% dmg in but didnt quite work)
364 ele = 4800
(+25 must be in the middle here)
369 ele = 4208
374 ele = 4101
382 ele = 3700 (odd spike to 4000)
384 ele = 3364 (think this is past +50 as its my Eurotas who is dealing 5400-5700)
385 ele = 3000
387 ele = 2641
As you can see unless you intend to take obscene mage dmg then its crucial to gem high and gem well. I enclose some very different ways to beat Thialfi as an example from my server - just observe the damage taken to see.
I would personally recommend a 3rd ele set at this point purely for tanking in (use on cronus, ophion or skuld / ono). You can see the huge variation in damage for yourself - my own 3rd set with a good gem town took me 5 days - a good long term investment and a set i may put on a triple washed odin later.
http://b11.clapalong.com/?fid=N201209129639033 (3 mage power way to defeat Jord using the 3rd set - notice isis is using a G13 book, non max weapon and has not broken the +50 point on her gemming)
I dont know if this was a fluke but I actually beat Anu on Euro S1 at the 1st attempt. http://eub1.clapalong.com/?fid=N201209073332120
I beat Enlil then immediately changed to anu formation without refreshing troops hence hermes was well short of maximum faculty. As I say this may be a fluke but it took me 200 attempts on US S11 with hermes max trooped, my possible thought is that the dancer may be more successful when charging troops with less faculty than herself?.
I see there is discussion about which method to use.
Tiny, some, bountiful.
Any research on this Squinters? Also, is there luck streaks and windows involved using the smallest amount? So far been sucking up bountiful but can see its getting very expensive!
So far its clear we are taking a new hero; Odin we thought but now i am hearing that nanna might be the better hero to take?
Can we get some clarification.
If there is any doubt i am keen to avoid using a 2nd kylin if i can. I already have a 3rd purple book worked up (just needs gemming) and already have a 3rd valor set (weapon working up would be relatively easy)
Odin for me would represent a long lead time in getting a ZC + kylin - then gemming an entirely new spirit set (as i would have to bin my old red horse and cloak). Other options would probably be easier
