Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.

The launch date for Dragonspire is unknown yet

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.
So there are 220 stages in total +21 Outposts (if there is no Outpost at the end of the last Area).
The Areas have not got an own name ~~yet~~.
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 “Dragon” 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 “Diamond” in the regular game, and if you activate it, then the tiles
In the third row the second and the sixth tiles is a “Tile Booster”.
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.

Enemies

Each enemy is brand new, and all of them have Special Skills.

Dragon WE Costs
