    Dragalia has always had a problem where the gap between the High Dragon Trials and the next content down is a huge, massive gap

    It's just weird because it feels like I should be able to do them. I have maxed out wyrmprints and my dojos leveled almost all the way. You'd think that would get me there.

    I wish the prelude ones dropped the new orbs (at a lower rate) so I could at least buy the buildings :(

    I finally managed to get a decent group for the Nightmare event raid, so I have that clear now, and I have the three keys needed to unlock the Omega tier. After trying the fight once, I'm not sure if this fight is even possible? The unit AI isn't smart enough to avoid the first big hit, and then everyone dies.

    Also, Gala units apparently hate me :) I pulled a ton on the Gala Euden banner and didn't get one, although I did get a Mym, which is my first Gala unit, so that was nice. The only other non-dupe 5* character I got was Victor. I've done about 40 pulls on the updated Gala banner as well, and so far I've only gotten dragons, which, while not bad, aren't too exciting.

    Same actually. It seems much easier now that I've unlocked all the raid perks or whatever. Plus finding people who don't suck. I do wonder how many "rare" raid boosts there are. I have gotten three so far. (it seems like there should be four?)
    4eytn73kjcph.jpg
    There are 7 rare raid boosts: crit rate, crit damage, skill haste, skill damage, overdrive punisher, broken punisher, and dragon punisher.




    I cleared Omega Chronos with no issues (first try!), but Omega Chronos Nyx is just kicking my ass repeatedly. I really need my AI teammates to survive, but they seem to have a death wish. Just pulled Heinwald, so maybe that'll help? I've done a couple of runs with Hildegarde, and she kept the AI alive a bit longer, but eventually they still died and left me without enough DPS to stop the boss's uber-attack.

    Interesting. I only have two of the bonus buffs (Overdrive Punisher and Crit Damage) and I didn't think there was room for more. I almost have all of the reward emblems already, so I'm not sure how reasonable it is to expect to unlock more.

    Yeah, the randomness on the special buffs is in my opinion, not a good idea.

    But I'm mostly running AtF right now with the double drops and unlocked Gold Fafnirs so I have more money for 5t weapon dismantle shenanigans.

    I relented and bought one of the anniversary bundles last night (the one with the free dragon and adventurer). Managed to pull Sarisse with it, so yay, that's all Gala characters :3 Now to decide if she has room on my red team :P (maybe for mercurial gauntlet where I don't want a healer...)

    (though it's a shame the free 5* adventurer is limited to launch characters of which I have all of them... but hey, more eldwater I guess :P)

    Snagged 2 dragons off today's free draw, final unbind of light siren and 3rd unbind of Freyja. Did the platinum showcase in hopes of either Ranzal or Cleo, and got Ranzal. Need to find some way to get lucky enough to add Cleo to my team and I'll have all the current Gala characters.

    It's the same for every event. At least in this case I've noticed you get an ok chunk from the daily nightmare box.

    Yeah the daily nightmare box gives 100 bronze and silver. To get the rest of the silver you've got to run the standard raid for a while.

    Daily nightmare and farming expert/ex goes a long way towards finishing up the silvers. If you haven't been doing that, you would have to farm the standard-difficulty raid directly (as was done in past events). Bronze can be topped off pretty quickly by running the cyclops for raid boosts.

    Speaking of which, even when I beat Chronos Omega, he still finds a way to dunk on me:

    I can't even try Omega because I can never seem to find a good enough group to beat the Nightmare in the first place :(
    Also I thought there was at least one day where both banners overlap, so I just kissed an 8% boosted rate on the Gala banner goodbye thinking I could use my free summon on it. Oh well.

    I managed to get the two new characters, but not the dragon, even though the dragon was the one I was trying for :/ I guess I am happy for the characters though. I'll probably have to rely on the free pulls for the rest of this tho. At least we still get some more free 10 pulls.

    I played for a couple weeks at launch and then wandered off.

    man, so many GBs to download...

    anyways, I remember weapons crafting... which might be something that caused me to put this down initially. I'm researching, but wanted to ask here. Should I try and make 4*T3 for my main units once I have the ability? I don't remember if I was at the point I could craft 4* weapons yet.

    also, is there a PA guild?

  • Options
    tuxkamentuxkamen really took this picture. Registered User regular
    Weapon crafting is easier in a few ways.

    First, you can craft higher tier weapons directly now if you have the materials and automatically unbind them if you make multiple at once.

    Secondly, void weapons (and void battles) exist. If you farm there, you will get materials to craft void weapons, which at highest tier are good entry level weapons for high dragon trials.

    Third, facility events as well as void events often drop tons of base 5t1 weapons for the featured adventurer's weapon types. It's quite easy to max out 5T2 weapons to use for your teams in this fashion.

    If you play the raid right now, you can still get a bunch of elemental weapons from the emblem rewards. To actually answer your question about 4t3: It can't hurt, and for some combinations it actually makes more sense. If you are a long way off from 5t3, go for it, or collect 5t1s and combine.

    Also if you do the raid right now, you can get a free 5* elemental of your choosing. If you can't do it with pugs, let us know and most of us will group up and carry you through it.

    Awesome. I think I was working on 3* element weapons before. Player lvl 37 and a few characters in the 40s. Trying to remember what I need to do after dailies. I’m not going to break myself trying to grind.

    I need to complete event story, ch7, and hard mode.

    Also pulled Delphi and Cthonius, should I go for Cassandra too?

    Is there anything to do with duplicate dragons? Do I use them to unbind dragons?

  • Options
    ShadowfireShadowfire Vermont, in the middle of nowhereRegistered User regular
    Yes, but I wouldn't unbind dragons until you have dragons for everyone in a particular element. I kept my duplicate Cerberus for months before I had enough other fire dragons to lose one of her.

    Is it worth building a dark team for this event?

    I have Delphi, Patia, Cleo, and Kleimann as well as a few 3*s.

    Also, is there a guide on general units that should be promoted?

    EDIT: you'll be getting a friend request from Mortenya if you have room.

    Promote waifus and husbandos. There are plenty of great 4* adventurers, and even some of the 3*s are favorites and can be made to work. Patia looks pretty decent, Kleimann is great, and Delphi looks broken. I'd say that shadow group you have is a great start.

    i feel like the power level balance is pretty good in dragalia.
    most of the 4* units are good, most of the 3* units are slightly underpowered, and there are a few notable exceptions.
    5* units are almost all at least solid (except ezelith), some of them are pretty busted (gala cleo).

  • Options
    FeldornFeldorn Mediocre Registered User regular
    I pulled Ezelith early on. What about her makes her such a low rank character?

    Also, anyone around to help me clear Chronos Nyx Clash EX?

    her first skill has a very long animation, which gives iframes, but it locks her in and has worse damage than her normal attacks.
    she's been thoroughly okay from the start of the game, but there are many better 4* units, which will usually push her off your fire team early on.
    the prince himself is considerably stronger, and a free unit.

    the main thing is that she's not "bad" or completely unusable, she's just bad compared to almost any other 5* unit and most 4* units in her element.
    (the other weak fire 5* is Naveed, poor guy.)

    i guess she did recently get a huge boost (like all dagger users) from the release of Twinfold Bonds, a strong wyrmprint for dagger units.
    also, the valentine's version of Ezelith is quite strong.

    Thanks.

    Another option would be the dagger for Delphi with the cog, but as my first it seems like The water spear would be better since Eli is on a lot of my teams.

    Also, how do I access Omega? Is it after Nightmare?

  • Options
    LucedesLucedes might be real Registered User regular
    in order to unlock Omega you need to beat Nightmare and also get all three Omega keys out of the medal rewards for the event.
    it's 600 bronze, 600 silver, and 3000 gold emblems.

    it's also stupidly hard, so i wouldn't really worry about it at this point.

    5* spear for Elisanne seems like a decent pick to me, but i don't know what other units you have.

    eventually you'll want a single-element team for everything, the damage boost and resistance are incredibly powerful.

    Well, I beat both of the Omega raids. Didn't manage to do Nyx deathless, and not going to bother to try. I struggled on solo Nyx for several hours yesterday, getting it down to a sliver that I'm sure I would have beat with maybe 2 or even 1 extra second on the clock. Then this morning I cleared it with 34 seconds to go. I have no idea what the difference is that made a half a minute difference, but oh well.

    ah! the maximum that's listed there is the cap for that particular type of boost from wyrmprints in total on one character.

    so for example, no matter how many skill damage + wyrmprints you equip, you can only get +40% from them.
    strength caps at +15% or something similar, and it caps across most ways to get +strength, like conditional and unconditional types together.

    edit: they made this change when they went from one wyrmprint to two wyrmprints, so you don't just always stack the best two.
    mild success.
