Hera Dragon Farm / Carry Method with Meridionalis (Control Version)
Hera Dragon is easily the most requested Radar with Zeus Dragon given both are used for top tier MP Dragons. However, Hera Dragon was never featured in any OSC meaning far fewer people have her for their Yomi Dragon evolution.
This guide features fully farmable player 2 subs to make it easily accessible to everyone (with Meri).
This one is a bit easier to make than farming 2 Zeras worth but requires a 297 unlike the Zera one. Carried side is also significantly more stringent.
The Setup
Player 1 (inherits on the bottom)
Meridionalis (Grodin) / Blodin (Toshiro) [3SDR] / Blodin (Toshiro) [1SDR] / Blodin (Combo*) / Control* – 15SB
Everything is assumed to be hypermaxed.
This setup requires very specific combos. See the table at the end of the article for working combinations of Control* and Combo* cards with the applicable combo for Ceres.
Player 2
Version 1
Meridionalis / Tengu / Tengu / Fujin Skillup / Indra Skillup – 9SB
OR VERSION 2
Meridionalis / Elysium / Elysium / Elysium / Elysium – 5SB
Notes: Meri MUST be hypermaxed.
Tengus only require skill boosts.
Since Fujin skillup rotates I left the flex icon there (eggplant).
Fujin Skillup can obviously be actual Fujin, inherited to an SB sub if wanted.
Same for Indra Skillup.
Elysiums must have all awakenings if using version 2.

General Requirements
If you are not using the above tested setups, follow the guide below to choose your control / combo set. We avoided listing any cards with OE (since that throws damage control off) and did not list general REM cards that fit unplussed or partially plussed. Cards like Sharon and Andromeda can work when not fully plussed. Changes to team attack can be made by swapping Grimmjow on Meri instead of Grodin (adds 81 attack to the team).
