The Musical Return of Counterattack
Since the arrival of the Draconic Orchestra series, there has been a lotta talk on one of the Golds, Lotta Lotta and her counterattack!
Counterattack is nothing new – Many older cards have it, though it’s not used much anymore. When a counterattack active is used, you deal damage to the enemy that attacked you, based on the damage dealt by enemy and counterattack multiplier. Way back in the days before Follow-up attack existed, this was one of the ways to beat Zeus & Hera Descended!
Below are some recent counterattack examples for comparison, to see why Lotta Lotta is in the spotlight at the moment:
Icon | Card |
Counterattack multiplier (of their corresponding att.) |
Reincarnated Anubis | 5x | |
Reincarnated Archdemons except Lucifer | 5x | |
Ichiro Miyata Magazine Collab |
10x | |
Vivi Final Fantasy Collab, 5th run |
70x (Buffed from 10x) |
|
Lotta Lotta | 100x |
100x Counterattack, in action
Some Japanese players noticed the 100x counterattack, and tested Lotta Lotta in dungeons. Since her counterattack is so strong, some dungeons become half automated! Here are some notable examples!
Half Automated Tuesday Dungeon
Since there is preemptive attack every stage, you literally just automate the first 5 floors of Keeper of Gold. Even @Neo_COOH said this himself: “what is this?”

Daks also posted a complete version of a dungeon run, ending with a Zeus-Dios swipe.
Beating Ninegaruda
Another example from GameWith, getting through Ninegaruda easily, even with locked orbs.

Random fun stuff
All of us behind PDX cannot stop laughing that putting the Base and Uvo forms of Lotta Lotta together can (sort of) be an animation.
Also, she does resemble Lakshmi a bit…
Also, a cute counterattack meme.

Thoughts
To be honest, I do wanna roll one of her. However, whether this will be widely applied in farming teams, or enough to justify for 10 Magic Stones — I’m not certain. It’s really cool though!
(But it’d be cooler if the series had voice awakening, with their instrument playing. Please make it happen GungHo!)
P.S.: Also let me know if you like these kind of series – While I may suck at writing reviews, at least I can compile information like these ones!
Fun facts like these are especially awesome.
Thank you for your hard work.
I agree! More fun facts and funny interactions!!
Moar moar moar!
Really enjoyed this, thank you.
