Welcome to the Dragon Blaze Guide. In this post I will be providing useful tips and strategy to help you progress in the game.

Classes Available

There are currently 5 characters available that you can choose as your main character. Keep in mind main characters get to wear all gears. Unlike allies, they only get 3 choices, which is weapons, shields or orbs and armor. We will get to that in the items section.

[tabby title=”Rogue”]

Rogue Skills and Build Recommendation

Active

Skill 1: Hidden Blades – Dashes towards the enemy like lightning to unveil Hidden Blades. The enemy will be unable to use skills temporarily. Increases Vigor by 2 points.

Ultimate: Inflicts 1537% damage and disable skills (immune to dispel) for 10 seconds. Life Steal (immune to dispel) for 13 seconds (80% damage over time).

Kills instantly (10% chance).

Level requirment is 35.

Skill 2: Dance of Death – Unleashes Vigor that was accumulated through normal attacks and Hidden Blades. Increases ATK Speed and ATK.

Ultimate: ATK Speed +171, ATK +80% for combo hits. Duration 2.59 seconds, +1 sec per Vigor. Attacks regardless of formation.

Passive

Piercing Gaze – Achieves sight that doesn’t miss a thing. Increases Critical Rate and ACC as the skill level rises.

Maximize Chance – Never miss a hard-earned opportunity. Damage dealt increases with Critical Hits.

Since getting a good priest is mostly RNG, this is the build I recommend.

Dance of Death – 1 Point
Vanish – 1 Point

Passive

Perfect Attack – 12 Points
Bloodthirsty Blade – 5 Points
Piercing Glaze – 5 Points
Maximize Chance – 1 Point

[tabby title=”Mage”]

Mage – Big AoE damage but fragile. They shine late game but is a little weak early.

Mage Item Stat Focus

Weapon – Crit Rate and Crit Damage
Armor – INT and HP
Accessory – Crit Rate

Mage Skills and Build Recommendation

Active

Skill 1: Flame Burst: The single damage skill of the mage class. The first of the skill points that you should add as you move through Normal and Hero mode.

Ultimate: Inflict 1305% damage. Fire Seal’s max damage inflicted.

Skill 2: Meteor Invocation: The AoE damage skill of the mage class. You should generally use it for end game setups. With great gears, your powerful spell can quickly wipe out entire enemy team.

Ultimate: Inflict 653% damage on all enemies. Additional 16% damage for 16 seconds.

Skill 3: Salamander’s Curse: The debuff skill that turns enemies into sheep or lambs while dealing minor damage. The cursed enemy cannot attack and they suffer a decrease in defense.

Ultimate: Inflict 551% damage, transforms into a lamb and decreases DEF by 65%. Transforms surrounding enemies into lambs for 16.6 sec (30% chance)

Passive

Fire Seal: Detonates fire seal on an enemy. It boosts damage of Flame Burst and Meteor Invocation. Although this skill sounds like it adds alot of damage, you are better off putting 1 point into as a final build.

Intelligence Increase: Increase Int by a percentage based on level. Int is a main stat for Dragon Blaze mage, so it is a decent passive to have.

Weapon Use: Increase max Weapon ATK by a percentage based on level. A great skill as a mage to have weapon use, it is especially important as you move into end game gears with the strongest weapon possible in the game.

Flame Study: Inflicts Fire Damage Equal to 10% of base ATK. Fire Damage itself is relatively weak. You should only place 1 point max into this passive.

Basic Build

Active

Flame Burst + Ultimate – 22 Points
Meteor Invocation – 1 Point
Salamander’s Curse – 1 Point

Passive

Fire Seal – 1 Point
Intelligence Increase – 5 Points
Weapon use – 5 Points
Flame Study – 1 Point

[tabby title=”Archer”]

Archer – Your physical ranged character that can do a lot of damage. I always hate scenarios where there is a lot of them. They hurt! They are quite similar to the Rogue, so it comes down to preference.
