Skill Up Dungeons

Is it worth it?

In most cases, the cooldown of these units are so long that they cannot be depended on when teambuilding for their skill up dungeon.

Here are some factors to take into consideration.
1. Is the dungeon difficult? (Swipe-able or manual)
2. Are there any side drops worth farming? (Hidden spawns or low rate drops)
3. Can’t I just Py them? I see a skill up team I can build.

Some New Descended (ex. JP / Halloween Linthia / Etc) for 50/99 Stamina that drops unit/gem on clear.

Scenario A: Its a hard dungeon and you can only fit 0 slot for skill ups. You have to manually solve and work for 1 gem drop for skill up (ex. Shiva Dragon Descended). Rate is +1 for 99 stamina. Not worth.

Scenario B: Its medium difficulty and you can fit 3 slots for skill ups. You have to manually solve (can’t depend on CD of skill of leveling units) and work for 1 drop for skill up (ex. HLinthia Descended). Rate is +4 for 99 stamina. Maybe worth?

Scenario C: Its an easy dungeon and you can fit 6 mixed slots for skill ups (ex. Collab skill up dungeons). You can swipe since they have like 50 HP. Rate is +6 for 50 stamina (no gem drop). Probably worth.

Scenario D: You use Pys. Rate is (however you farm Pys).

From here it seems like Scenario C would be the optimal way to skill up your units, however it would require using all 6 slots in a dungeon which is usually terrible unless freebie like the collab skill up dungeons.

Albeit rare case scenario, we can base our highest output to be (6 skill ups / 50 stamina) or around 8.33 Stamina per SU.
^{For normal dungeon Scenario B, we would have an output (4 SU / 99 stamina) or 25 Stamina per SU.}

When do you ever get Pys at 8.33 or less? Usually never.
^{Maybe sometimes if you include freebie dungeons like PAD Pass or 1 time clear stuff.
What about Pys at 25 or less?}

So if only including repeatable dungeons, the best rate I got was 4 Pys for 60 Stamina in the Kaleidoscope Cavern which translates (1 skill up for 15 stamina).

^{Disadvantage – is that the Pys drops are random & if no invade = rate to (1 skill up for 30 stamina)
Advantage – is that can be swiped b r a i n l e s s l y and you don’t have to deal with spinners/lead swap/new stuff.}

So what is better to do?

Unless you’re clearing the freebie skill up dungeons [for the best rate], I wouldn’t re-farm dungeons for the purpose of skilling them up, since my 🏴‍☠️ is better. I would need to fit at least 3 of the skill up unit on my team and dungeon clearable to maybe make it worth it over feeding Pys.

BUT ALSO (nuance for mixed skill leveling freebie) general rule of thumb is to not skill up anything you don’t need since you may need the skill at Lv1 at some point (like if it gets an assist evo), or you may also event evolve out of the skill you leveled up.

Just don’t skill anything up until you need to – another control farming Pys give.
