šŸ‰ Dragonspire - Map

This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the Dragon Map Area and Gameplay.

Dragon Map

Overview

  • Dragon Map is accessable if you switch from Stronghold view to Dragonspire view, and you click on the Map button.
  • The Map is a full Map like what we have for Season 1-5.
  • There is only 1 difficulty mode like in Season 1.
  • The Map consist of 22 Areas, and each Area has 10 stages + 1 Outpost.
  • Similarly to Season 1 each Area now ends with and Outpost, which is a Raid battle, and it gives +5% production increase for Wathctower. You need to have a Watchtower build to complete this stage.
  • So there are 220 stages in total +21 Outposts (if there is no Outpost at the end of the last Area).
  • The Areas have got an own name.
  • You can only complete stages in order.

Tile Boosters

  • The Map stages boards consist of tiles in 5 rows and 7 columns.
  • You can match at least 3 tiles from the same element. When tiles are matched they turn into fireballs and they damaging the enemies in the same column.
  • If you match 4 tiles, then you get a special tile like the ā€œDragonā€ in the regular game, and if you activate it, then the tiles above, below, left and right are also explode.
  • If you match 5 or more tiles, then you get a special tile like the ā€œDiamondā€ in the regular game, and if you activate it, then the tiles
  • In the third row the second and the sixth tiles is a ā€œTile Boosterā€.
  • When a tile is matched on the Tile Booster, it launches a cluster of 9 fireballs towards enemies instead of one.

Battle Item Slots

  • There are 4 Battle Item Slots similar to the regular game, but unlikely to the regular game you can not equip any battle items to any slot.
  • Each Battle Item has a Slot Type assigned to them:
    • Heal: Small Healing Salve, Medium Healing Salve, Super Healing Salve, Cleansing Feather, Healing Comet, Angel Feather
    • Damage: Ballistae Attack, Ice Attack Spell, Poison Attack Spell, Storm Attack Spell,
    • Mana: Small Mana Shards, Medium Mana Shards, Super Mana Shards, Mana Comet
    • Misc: Veil of Attack, Veil of Protection, Veil of Eternity
  • You can bring only one item per slot type into battle.

    Do any data mining experts know if the loot odds on each stage in area 1 have the same odds? If Iā€™m farming, does it matter if I do 1-1 or say 1-5?

    When is level 4 of Dragon Dawn going to be releasedā€¦ just says ā€œComing soonā€.

    ā€¦ in the mean time, I guess Iā€™ll just keep collecting fishies and pink gems. Lol

    If the last set of stages are anything to go by, 3 years for another 30 levels :sweat_smile:

    It was lame there were only three levels open.

    Meh, thatā€™s how Atlantis / Valhalla / Underwild / (Egypt) worked. Those all had three levels open each month.

    Curious to see if there will be a ā€œHard Modeā€ in the future. Nobodyā€™s ready for that except the high spenders.

    Me on Welcome to Dragonspire, tier X. Canā€™t upgrade Assist skill to lever 6. F-ing 1-star item (parchment) is nowhere to be farmed, only available through higher tier WtD or as a chance in those idle chests. Boring

    Come on, buddy, you know how it is. Most players in the front agree with you and are frustrated because theyā€™re experiencing the same issues. But then thereā€™s that one voice in the back shouting, ā€œYou have to spend to keep goingā€ā€”and that voice belongs to the developer.

    perhaps, Iā€™ve been auto-farming (Iā€™ll call it) province 1 and cup drop working through raid options, both of which I suspect add to chest loot, which has resulted in this modest stock.

    Iā€™m still stuck as I canā€™t fulfill my traichern dragons challenge as Iā€™m researching an option in the hatchery which, even at level 3, takes days. I imagine that another hatchery will become available, say, at dragonspire level 6 when new buildings become available.

    Same exact thing, but itĀ“s finishing research today, so IĀ“ll get past it finally!
    Not that I really care. I only play the Dragon thing as a hobbyā€¦ E&P is a full-time job already :smiley:

    Mostly waiting at this stage.

    Waiting and doing other stuff. Might go mountain biking insteadā€¦ have 36 hours of waiting to use up.

    Well a normal mob doing 3500 dmg auto attack in the quest certainly doesnt help progressing. The boss does 5k auto attack.

    This is just stupid. They can give as much free summon as they want. If you dont get the board you are screwed.

    On the other hand if you get the right combo you melt a boss with 3 tiles. The whole dmg structure is effed up. In both ways

    Just relax and play it. Canā€™t finish in a day, week or month. For those that donā€™t pay the construction part will last for like 1 year or so. And if they release 3 provinces/ month, looking at least 7 months wait only to probably face final boss which you wonā€™t be able to kill right away, cos of your dragons being weak.

    And ā€œMost Convincing Sales Pitch of the Yearā€ award goes toā€¦
