Dragon Blaze Guide

Intro

I’ve been looking for a good hero collect type mobile game for my brother and I to play and after trying out 15-20 of them, I settled on Dragon Blaze.

The premise of the story is that this king named Gram pissed of the Dragon God of Life and Death named Deathcrown. Deathcrown comes down to the kingdom and starts wreaking havoc. He gets the orcs to attack the humans and war breaks out. You learn pretty quickly that there’s more going on that it at first seems.

I decided that I’d write up what I’ve learned about the game so far since there’s so much information out there and a lot of it is outdated or written poorly.

Note: I will be updating this as I go, so it is a work in progress.

Guide

What character should you choose?

It depends on if you are a “casual” player or a “hardcore” player.

If you just plan on playing the game everyone once in a while and don’t care about progressing slowly, pick Paladin and just play the game. Skip past my new account walkthrough and read info further on about allies, enhancing, gear, and other stuff.

If you are more hardcore and want to progress quickly, pick a Priest. Here’s why…

In order to help new players catch up with established players, the developers have bundle in the shop that will set a character’s level to 80, complete every stage up to the end of chapter 2, give them a maxed out set of red SSS gear, and 3 SSS Ally class recruitment tickets. Here’s the other thing: the SSS maxed gear has a level requirement of 1. That means that you can put it on every other class to help them level (except the weapon and offhand if they can’t carry it).

New Account Walkthrough

So, if you like what you’ve read above, start with a priest (we’ll use the 990 rubies upgrade pack on a paladin once we can afford it).

Why pick a priest?

I doesn’t actually matter that much which class you start with, as long as it isn’t a paladin. We’ll get into why you will want to level all of the classes later.

What build should I use?

Here’s the thing; no matter what class you choose, their early build doesn’t matter as much compared to when you start facing tougher enemies (usually around level 65 in act 2).

The way character skills work is, you have three active skills that can be leveled up to 10 and each has a corresponding ultimate. You can only get one ultimate. There are four passive skills and each can be leveled up to 12. The thing is, you won’t have enough points at max level to max every active and passive skill. That’s where builds come in. A lot of people disagree on the best build for each character. I’ll post the suggested build based on the most up to date information as of the writing/updating of this guide.

The suggested build for the priest (and the one that I have been running) is the magnify build: max the second active “Magnify!” and get the ult for it and then distribute the rest of the points evenly between the first three passive skills (skip the fourth passive).

Here’s the thing though, you’ll start with one point in the first active (Charming Light), so if you want to do the magnify end game build, you’ll have to spend the 100 rubies to do so. At lower levels, it’s perfectly fine to put the skill points in whatever you want until you get stuck in the game. In fact, getting heal early on may make things easier. Just know, that you’ll want to switch to the magnify build once things start getting tough.

Now, you will basically play through every level in order, going through the story, until you have 990 rubies.

Who do I pick for my free SSS hero selection ticket?

For now, just wait. You will be getting some random SSS heroes as you play the game a bit more, so we can wait until the 6th or 7th day of playing to make our choice. In the end, you’ll want to make up for what your team is deficient in. If you need a tank, choose the top ranked tank. If you need a healer or dps character, choose the top ranked one of those. Head over to the Dragon Blaze Reddit Page and click on the “Global” link on the right side of the page under “Tier Lists”. This list will change from patch to patch so I’m not going to provide a direct link here.

How do I build my team?

Generally speaking, you want 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 dps.

I have 990 rubies. Now what?

Now we are going to put your main priest character on hold and get a maxed paladin.

Create a paladin character and play through the tutorial until you get to the point where the innkeeper unlocks the last row of your inventory. Now go to the shop and purchase the Special Jar of Growth. This will return you to the character select screen and your paladin will be level 80. When you re-enter the game, you will show up in the town and an NPC will start talking at you. If you want to avoid ruining the story for yourself, press the button on the lower right and skip over the dialogue. The game will tell you to go chapter 3. Just skip the dialogue again and then press the left arrow at the top of the map twice to go back to chapter 1.

Next, go get your gear from your mailbox and equip all of it on your paladin. The suggested build that I used was 11/1/10 for actives 12/12/0/x for passives (x being the rest of your points). This build will make you tanky enough to survive hits and strong enough to kill most things easily in act 1 and 2.

Now it’s time to get a bunch of rubies. Go around through act 1 and kill each dragon boss in order (Komodo Fairy, Storm Tyrant, Junglefury, Deathcrown, Deus Deathcrown) and then do the same in act 2 (Phoenix of the Flames, Aqualis of the Abyss, Valmut of the Netherworld, Ragnarok, Deus Ragnarok). NOTE: If you don’t want to spoil the story and the surprise of fighting these bosses for the first time normally, set your device down and don’t look at the boss. Also, Deus Ragnarok is a 6-man raid, so you may not be able to find a group.

Now that you’ve cleared all of the raids, you should do the very last stage on the level “Scorched Terra”. The first time you clear this you get 1500 rubies.

Ok I have a ton of rubies after killing the raid bosses. Now what?

First, unlock all of your paladin’s inventory space, all of his potion slots, and all of your shared account storage (click the storage button).

Next, get your allies up to level 80. Go repeat stages over and over to level your team. Depending on how tough your team is, you may have to do much lower levels. They key is, you don’t want anyone to die, otherwise they only get the experience from the beginning of the fight. If you just want to be lazy, then just do the very last stage over and over. Your guys will die, but they’ll get some experience for the short time that they are alive.
