LF Advice: DEA spirit

I picked up my first anima in Forgotten Island, and summoned a DEA spirit. This leaves me in a bit of a pickle.

My GF runs an A+ beast team led by AA+ Seta (no skill). DEA is a perfect fit here - no skill overlap with other AA covert beasts.

I'm running A+ hybrid demons led by Donner. I like the team, and it's holding up pretty well. I need to replace Tide with Leth, but otherwise I like it a lot. I'm coming up on level 100 though, and not sure how much longer this team will stay useful.

Initially, I thought prices on spirits would tank after the event, but +/- Att/Def seem to be holding their value. I'm not really sure whether it would be worth trying to move the spirit and break into more AAs, or use the spirit and take my time transitioning.

Any advice?


Current Teams:
Donner, DCC, Bestia, Garb, and Tide;
Omni Seta+m, Bayard, BSK, Sentinel, Cetus

dont put spirit on A monsters, if ur gonna use it, put it on seta otherwise sell it for eps and upgrade oyur team

Spirits should be only used to complete a missing piece of the over all formation.

Imo, adding dea spirit into A+ or even AA+/A+ won't do much good so I'd would just sell/trade it and get a better team. I'd recommand replacing BSK and Sentinel with 2 AA+ convert beast.

You are lucky to get the half of the price of spirit back on the card that you add the skill.

I suppose I left out an important note - she's never getting rid of Seta, and it will eventually get a spirit. Her summoner name is Bad Wolf, and its kind of her mascot.

I'm just trying to figure out if selling the spirit now and eventually getting one to replace it is better than using it now and buying AAs when I can.

Which beast gets upgraded first depends on what AA I can find cheap when I've got funds. Sent->Cerb, BSK->Baihu, Cetus->Inshipit.

Thanks for the feedback.

if you're looking to sell, a ded spirit is worth slightly more than a dea spirit (remains fairly relative as prices rise and fall. i.e. when dea is 150, ded is 200, when dea is 100, ded is 150)

feel free to qualify the above statement by asking a few other people if you don't believe me. This is how the prices are in relation to each other to the best of my knowledge.

If you're just looking for ep, I can trade you a ded spirit for a dea spirit, which has a higher resale value. Why don't I sell it myself and use the ep to buy a dea AND have some to spare? Because the market is saturated now, and everyone wants ep for spirits, or does not want to buy spirits until the prices dip even lower. Same thing happened when spirits were first released, they were relatively cheap (bought MY first dea spirit for 60ep).

it'll be tough to swap most of the lower-demand spirits for ep directly now; and frankly I'm in a bit of a hurry to get dea on one of my team so I can start leveling it up. So if you're interested in swapping YOUR dea soul for MY ded soul. lemme know. allies are full. I'm around overall rank 85. playername: Larry. Just send a trade if it suits your fancy.


and in either case; to answer your question. selling your spirit (or my spirit if you decide to trade) now is NOT a good idea. price in still on the downslope as people desperately drop prices trying to liquidate. provided A team doesn't start handing out animas like evo souls, the price of spirits WILL rebound and pending on how long it is before they release more animas, will even surpass their previous highs.

TLDR: I'll trade my ded soul for your dea soul. Also whatever you do; don't try sell souls now, their price is still crashing.

DED is infact higher than DEA spirit because of the recent release of too many monster with DEA skill at this point in time.

Everybody is hoarding spirits because in the long long run it rises in value if the DEMAND is higher than SUPPLY. But when is the only question remain. THis only work ONLY if ONLY ATEAM stop supplying spirits AND player USES them otherwise it is restarted to oversupply situation.

Problem now many player are thinking the same thing. Lets keep it and hope for the best.....It is like 95% player are keeping the spirits and only 5% is actually using them. You do the math for how long before this become DEMANDED.

Thanks again guys. I think I'd rather just use it than fight the market this time. After all, I can always get more ep.

One thing on supply, if I get a DEA spirit and sit on it, it's not part of the supply picture. Only when I offer it for sale (or use it) can it have any tangible effect on the market. Yes, using it counts - there I act as both supplyer and consumer, reducing the demand by supplying what I might have otherwise bought.

Supply could technically be millions, but if everyone holds them in reserve, demand can still push prices up as though that supply does not exist. Only as people weigh the benefit of selling now or waiting for later does the reserve fall into supply.

Want their prices to flow smoothly? Make it almost free to obtain current pricing of the spirits.

Current buy offer on market is 1000ep for a thunder spirit

So the lesson is...wannabe economists can't spell or form grammatically correct sentences.

Lesson is that iPad autocorrect t sucks.
