Where do I stand?
I have to face Nidhog. So last (5th) seal - 5th battle - not tried yet.
Old Trans. - get to stage 45 - any help would be fine.
New Trans. - 35 most often - 39 at my best.
No Zodiac EX stage done so far.
Just made Plundering of Queen GM.


Questions:
*Should I change Urd with Isabell in Santa team?
*What to do with my duplicates? Are there some worth keeping? Or should I feed them all?
*What improvements do you see for my teams?
*Do I have a chance to get Odin?

Thanks for your help.

hi Aki,

Santa team is a good choice to start building.  I would definitely find a replacement for Urd.  

1. you are getting no bonus from Santa by using Urd.
2. you are changing the attribute of the enemy to water which makes it harder to damage them with Santa.

Izzy is a good choice if you get some levels on her.  If you have the material I would PR another starter. They are huge in Santa teams.  You could also start working on Troy but she won't be too useful until you get another enchantress as she is pretty dangerous on her own.

As for duplicates, I have a hard time getting rid of anything and tend to hand on for dear life.  There are some cards you want to keep as duplicates as they come in handy and some you just don't need but I struggle let go of things I don't need anyway. I would definitely keep extras of any converter cards cause you never know when you might need more than 1 in your deck. Spend time leveling their skill whenever you can.  Anytime you get a 3* knome, feed it to a Fight Mode card of the same color (I personally feed 3 at a time). Same for slimes for Defense Mode.

As for Odin, I am not sure on that one. You have a high level team which is half the battle.  I don't see why you couldn't beat it although you have to expect to spend some diamonds, just not sure how many.

I was just skimming thru your list and found you have a potential for a good light deck:

Thor (ldr), Light DS, Natheniel (to PR), Griffin, Odin (KIV)

If I were you I will start to lvl them and work Nat to PR (probably Thor if the TC permits) and get them read for Odin in the next SM then there you go, a solid Mono Light team.   

One thing I like about Mono dark and light is that they are not weak against any attribute (earth against fire, water against earth, fire against water).

Good luck with that!

Thank you both for your advices.
Will update this every now and then and hope to get more tips from the experienced players.

You could rotate the Paladin Queen out of the Santa deck for Troy. Paladins are more like utility cards. You want them in your deck for stamina saving wins, but for pure speed and more powerful bursts, Troy is required. You won't be beating Gemini EX or some harder stages without it.

Second, you want to lower the cooldowns of your Great Schema of Dark and Fire. Drop their CD down to 6 or 7 by feeding them evolved slimes, leader GSoF, ally a Greenery King leader, and you can easily beat Nidhogg and collect the Fifth Seal reward. Sixth Seal should be easy for your Santa deck, and this should keep the diamonds coming in for you too.

If you have the evo materials for more PR starters, definitely work on that. Other than that, work on leveling Cassandra.

If you get another enchantress in the future, your team would be able to clear most damage intensive stages.

[Update3]

Where do I stand?
Lv. 152 now
Still I have to face Nidhog. So last (5th) seal - 5th battle - not tried yet.
Old Trans. - got to stage 49 - but Wukong got me .
New Trans. - 35 most often - 44 at my best - no chance to beat Saruman.
My first Zodiac EX stage done - Capricorn.
Did not go for Odin - but took Nidhogg SM.
I do all new battles - some GM Stages are too hard for me. But I always go for the card drops.
Way to Curse - got to 19.

Started leveling Cassandra - but I think she is dangerous in my team - no more healing possible.
Doing farming teams for guild missions to level some CDs.
Managed to level DSoF CD to max.
Still feeding slimes to DSoD.

Questions:
*What to do with my duplicates? Are there some worth keeping? Or should I feed them all?
*What improvements do you see for my teams?
*Should I PR a second starter?
*Should I use my Horners to PR something or better wait?
*Would you hedge a second DSoF or DSoD or something?
*When do you use an Eye Spirit or Harpy or Madhead?

Thanks for your help.

Ill just answer ur questions:

duplicates keep them if u want a chance to lower cd of ur main (takes time) i normally sell all my dupes cause i hate looking at them, which is actually a mistake, u wanna save some small stuff for when "temple of X" comes around. (e.g i couldnt do temple of fire GM cause i didnt keep my dupe gsoa,qwow,metallic fin etc.)

In terms of improvements...u wanna get diablo this weds. spent up to 15diamonds if possible and make the elf team:

diablo, magness, yvette, elf queen, issy, saruman(ally)

In terms of starters to pr. endor is the next best candidate after sean. u dont have endor atm so i would wait, unless ur desperate for another starter pr then go for go for nathaniel, cause u can make a decent light deck in the future. (personally im saving my memory travellers for future PR series, iv only got 1 pr sean.)

Wait for diamond draws that you can use to make a mono light/mono dark, and pr loki or thor, depending on what you get. (u should have went for odin)

I have 2 gsof and 2 gsod myself, they r good for beast/heal teams. plus schemas r getting PR-ed

Madhead only use it with 4 primes, Harpys use when you reach lvl 8+ on cards that are critical to your team, Eye spirits use them on lvl 90+ cards with 4mill or more exp curves

[Update 4] new improvements underlined

A month later and some things changed. Thanks for your help in forum and on guild chat my knight brothers.
PRed Nathaniel. And used 2 Harpies to get Sean on max. CD level. (this helps a lot - thx for the hint   )

Where do I stand? News.
Lv. 163 - so 11 levels in a month - fine
Nidhogg in the tower was mine - easy with beast team with GSoF leader - but they hit so weak
Now I am on seal 6 water island - doing a level only now and then - too much else to do
Old Trans. - got to stage 49 - could not beat it
New Trans. - 44 often now - but no chance to beat Saruman.
I hate diamond draws - always get crap and dupes
Got all metallic dragons.
Doing the new Terror battles - but only to master - the gm ones are too tough I think.
Still have no Endor - hope for the special friend points drawing days


Questions:

• Can I build a team to beat Way to Bravery/Curse/Faith?
  
• How to get Saruman down in New Transmigation?
  
• How to deal with Terror of Monstrosity (no fire runes!)?
  
• Am I able to beat Transcendent Sanctorium gm?
  
• I see a beginning Diablo team, Light team and Dark team. Anything else I miss?
  

Thank you for all your advices.
