[Dragalia Lost] Alliance vs Dragon Trials

BlueBlue

ok so if you have euden's 10% rank xp ability unlocked, it works as long as he's on your team even if he's unused in coop

Feldorn

Ive been using coop to make it through chapter 6 because my team just stand around and die.

Madican

I keep seeing Ezelith as a fusion between Cagliostro and Clarisse from Granblue.

Adellios

She reminds me more of Clarisse and Rin Tohsaka for some reason.
EDIT: Yes I know now...

Feldorn

Whew, finished ch6.

Gotta get bigger weapons and stuff. Also mana...

Running coop to get weapon statues as well.

Madican

I don't see this raid thing anywhere

dporowski

A reasonably important note I just discovered: You only spend wings on coop if you are a guest. Host gets free.

Yeah nobody is sure what is up exactly

The thinking is maybe it got delayed along with the banner

I thought the banner was Thursday, raid today?

Maybe delayed because of the typhoon hitting Japan right now?

Host pays stamina

One thing I'd like to figure out sooner than later is what the power differential for being a strong element type (e.g. water vs. fire) vs. a neutral element type. I definitely find myself wondering whether I should bring a level 40 dark guy or a level 15 water guy vs. fire.

Reigner

Used my 10fold voucher hoping for some decent 4stars since all I have is Berserker and Orion. Got another Orion and Prints for days. Used the 5star ticket from the starter pack Id bought hoping for Xander, Xainfried or Hildegard. Nefaria...at least it wasnt Hawk or Maribelle...I guess? Ugh

So far the only good thing I've pulled is a Poseidon dragon, and he's pretty awesome. Most of my units are trash though, unfortunately.

Maddoc

Defensive stuff is being wildly underrated right now

That is your tip of the day

BahamutZERO

what even is defensive stuff? heals and defense buffs?

Xaviar

Having a defensive buff on my controlled character has been pretty good, as I have like 15 million skills across characters and prints that proc of receiving a defensive buff.

BlueBlue

Here’s what the raid is gonna look like, probably

Defense buffs, Heals, Dragons that increase HP

Everyone went in going "You can sodge attacks so focus on damage"

But then you can really only dodge the telegraphed attacks, you're gonna take a lot of smaller hits throughout fights that you can't reasonably avoid

Also we've already seen one fight that begins with a massive explosion that just kills everyone

BahamutZERO

so the raid boss is akantor, got it

skills that proc off receiving a defensive buff? I don't think I've seen any of those

X Doublebuff, I've seen strength and healing. There's a 4* who has a party defense buff and healing doublebuff so he gets HP regen whenever he uses his skill. Makes him really tanky.

Reigner

Did another multi. Prints for days.

I really hope they think about adjusting the rates or this game will die quickly to frustrated players with 200 prints and 8 people to equip them on.

There are a lot of great 4* units. Even some of the 3*s are cool.

Hell, the main story units are even pretty good!

Did my 10 pull last night...got 3 5* Wyrmprints, and 3* everything else. Fun!!!

Seeing your squad fill out and get stronger is really fun.

Tulabelle

I changed my helper from Julietta to Hildegard. I've been grabbing healers to help whenever possible while solo questing and it helps a ton, so I thought I would help out all the PA friends. I'll be making sure to add everyone in the friend code spreadsheet.

Come and get your 3 free heals!

So that’s what that defense against that one guy in particular wyrmprint is for huh

Cururu

How much story is currently available? I pushed through chapter 5 so that I could have one 4 star dragon of each element, but the end of chapter 5 was getting a bit dicey. Is there anything else yet after chapter 6?

Edit: And by dicey I mean I barely survived. I may be able to do some upgrades and push through chapter 6, but it could be rough going.

BlueBlue

Please excited for update

Tulabelle

As near as I can tell, finishing chapter 6 just enables new challenge events and hard mode for the campaign. I haven't tried a hard mode story yet, but even on normal mode, chapter 6 is tough and has one extra dungeon I haven't been able to finish solo.

BahamutZERO

The first hard mode chapter 1 mission seemed easier than the chapter 6 missions for what that's worth

Hard mode unlocking after chapter 5 is extremely deliberate

Also of note - hard mode gives 1.5k eldwater for each chapter cleared. Just as incentive, that's enough to bump some people up to 4*...

Maddoc

Also, sell your 3* wyrmprints

Dunno if it's been mentioned here already, but they're worth 150 eldwater a pop

3* dragons too

Uh... eventually, maybe. I'd watch what skills are on them, because the stats of wurmpeints are tiny but the passives are useful.

Dragon 3*s... also maybe not, you really want element matching so...

Maddoc

Up to a point

If you unbind and level up the freebie 4* greatwyrms though, the raw stats will generally outdo element matched 3*s

And if you're not planning on using that character to shapeshift anyway, you don't really lose anything in the deal

Keep at least one of each 3* dragon for gifting/stories though

EDIT: As for wyrmprints, I got a decent number of 4* wyrmprints so I don't see myself ever using the 3*s, and it's mostly just a PSA so that people don't use the 3* wyrmprints to feed them into other wyrmprints for XP

Tulabelle

I can't resist the urge to have one of everything, even if I don't think I'll use it. I admit it isn't optimal, or maybe even smart, but I try to keep and unbind one of everything I have gotten so far.

I know that I shouldn't be playing this as a collectible game, but I can't help myself!

Huh are the 2 star wyrmprints that drop in missions worth any eldwater? Those are the only ones I've had spares of to turn into exp so far.

No. 2* are worth 50 rupies, 0 eldwater. :sad:
