Rules

Edit: I have updated the rules:

ADDENDUM TO RULE THREE (3): Because I do NOT want another instance of shit that happened this month, and the shit that happened in @anonrising, Fandom Politics are NOT ALLOWED. This includes, but is not limited to:

Anime
Fanfiction/Fanart
Anti/Proshipping war bullshit

*These subjects almost inevitably bring up Anti/Proship bullshit and there are folks on both sides who might be triggered by certain content, or feel dismissed by various argument points on both sides. As a result, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED. This site is for DRAGON DRAMA, not your Pro/Anti shipping bullshit. Take it to fandomwank or fandom_secrets or whatever other platform they're using nowadays.

Hey nons, does anyone have a good setup for a Forbidden Portal team? I'm looking for a fodder build, but another friend kind of just wants to farm Portal, so if anyone has suggestions for that, they'd be appreciated!

I've seen the Maki guide and the Alatreon guide, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any thoughts.

Also, dumb question, but what do you guys do when the guide doesn't go level by level? Just level up sections until they're full and then move on to others? Wait until level 25 to stat? Someone help me, I'm really dumb and every time I see a guide without level by level my brain just shuts down. :'D

I've used my Golem Workshop fodder leveling pair (per this guide: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1666709 which might be slightly outdated) for double-duty in FP since it was released. It's probably not maximally efficient in terms of stats or element balance - my mage is Wind and my fighter Nature, which can cause some nasty interactions with some of the Portal mages - and I might make an extra pair just for that venue someday, but they served well enough while I was collecting familiars early on and getting fest loot during the Arcane holiday.

Re: your second question, I've got nothing. I trained up my first few Lv 25s entirely slapdash and long enough ago that I don't remember much, balanced stats on the first one until after I'd gotten her fully leveled and had to tincture her. Since then when I want a 25 with a new build, I toss it on a team with one of my current trainers (usually rotating normal fodder through the second slot) until it's at least Lv 20 - sometimes the intended venue is forgiving enough that you can less-efficiently train there with a dragon who doesn't have their complete stats.

A big problem is many guides give you just enough STR when fully statted to rallied-eliminate the toughest non-boss in the venue, and since rally is dependent on the level of the dragon casting it, you can fall short on some enemies even if you have enough stat points to reach the recommended STR (and you don't want to go over that or you'll have to tincture later on) by skimping on QCK and VIT.

So it's a question of whether the satisfaction of being able to level up a trainer and trainees at the same time is worth the extra effort (restarting more often, etc). Having the dragon start to function as a fighter from a lower level seems much harder and, again, really only something I'd do for the fun/interest of it. More efficient to pack levels on them as you would a fodder until they can pull their weight at least somewhat in the higher venues.

Upon reflection, I don't know that I wouldn't stick with a Wind+Nature combo anyway. Disorient is my favorite elemental attack, and if the bosses are berserk and doing 1-damage scratches half the time, Nature's weakness to Fire doesn't hurt as much (plus your mage can take advantage of the extended boss battle to throw a heal on them); meanwhile they're actively resistant to four of the non-boss mages and weak to only one.

Alatreon's guide uses the same STR/INT/QCK that my current pair have for both venues, while Maki favors more QCK and less STR/INT - would have to try the latter out to see which I'd favor.

OP

Thanks for such a thorough response, non! I do have a wind mage for Workshop, it would be nice to be able to utilize him in both venues. Unfortunately I've fallen behind on making my warrior in that system and I've just been using my glass canons, which are pretty bad for the portal fire boss, since one is Nature and one is Ice. XD

But it's also good to know that Nature can work in this venue, because my Workshop fighter is also Nature. I'll go ahead with them as a pair now, and maybe see about making myself a pair from one of the other builds at a later date! Thanks again!

ayrt

You're welcome, but I feel bad accepting gratitude for text-walling when I generally have to restrain myself not to ;)

The elements are a judgement call; looks like Fire has the fewest bad mage interactions (only one regular enemy while Nature has one regular and one boss), but it's not resistant to anything, and my preference tends to be towards trainers who can practically ignore a chunk of a venue's mages so I can use those battles to stall for a little extra energy/hp if I want to.

Let us know how things go for you!

I've been using this guide by MoonlitCacti and it works pretty well: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2869409/1

+ when leveling up when the guide doesn't go level by level, I drag 'em to 25 in some other venue and then add battle stones, tincture + stat at the end. Sometimes I'll add battlestones and start allocating stats if they can be helpful in the fight (their quickness is high enough to get turns and they can contribute a rally/scratch/heal or something). When I do that I just look at the final numbers and make sure to not go over them.

AYRT

Thanks so much for the link, non! I hadn't seen that one, I'll go take a look!

And also thanks for the advice on statting, it seems like that's a common method, so I'll go ahead and do the same!

I use a water mage with the following stats 122INT 60QCK 21AGI 16VIT with the usual stone setup 1 Ambush, 1 Discipline 3 Scholar, Aid, Regen, Drown and Rally.
He isn't tinctured so you can get a better mage but that's what I use along with a regular 129STR glass canon + trainee.

AYRT

Thanks for the suggestion non! Mages are fairly easy to build (since they don't require eliminate, thank goodness), so I think I could make a few water mages! Thanks for the stats, and it's good to know that it works with a glass cannon and fodder.

AYRT
No worries, it's not necesarily a quick fodder trainer but it works well for me!
I'd say use something that's not weak to the bosses and mages in FP and you'll last longer.

You can also substitute regen for contuse to help on melee packs or reflect to reflect the boss abilities back on them!

My golem worshop team that i statted according to culex guide works perfectly in the forbidden portal.

+1

This is the same build I use and it works great!

AYRT

Awesome, thanks non! I've been dragging my feet finishing my warrior/fighter for that guide, and I've just been using my mage with my glass cannons, which isn't as efficient. I'll work on getting the warrior fully statted.
