Discussion: Future Equipment Banner Review 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark Burst SNS (Single)

More information:
Dark Burst SNS

Karyu: The dark burst sns is the only burst sns that have RBR slot. It provides a very high sonic thrust dmg and burst mode dmg, along with some atk speed. It will be a great set if you can parry almost every hit. However, like Airgetlam, it doesn’t have any parry judge time, makes it very difficult to perform parry. A set that only performs well in the hands of player with good parrying skills.

As a dark set - 5/5

Light Oracle GS + Fire Burst Bow

More information:
Light Oracle GS
Fire Burst Bow

Karyu: The light oracle gs is a better of its kind. It greatly boosts on Dive smash dmg, which is oracle gs’ main dps move. The stun duration increase is also helpful when you perform successful stun, since not only it’s easier for you to finish a large dps move, but also stunning is like restraining the behemoth, letting your teammates to perform large dps moves as well. Though oracle gs itself is pretty hard to use. Don’t recommend if you’re not good at predicting or dodging moves.
The fire burst bow concentrates more on magi spam due to the magi cast speed and double attack magi slot, allowing you to cast high dmg magi that’s usually having long cast, further improve dps. It’s quite similar to fire soul bow among other soul bow: longer mode duration but no charge speed. Therefore it takes a longer setup like the earth burst bow.

Dark Burst DB + Light Burst Spear

More information:
Dark Burst DB
Light Burst Spear

Karyu: The dark burst db heavily boosts your dps during Endless Waltz (burst db’s burst mode). It even have a longer burst mode duration. However, this also means it’s weak when you’re not in burst mode, as there isn’t any boost (burst gauge charge speed or atk speed) to charge up burst gauge safely. Though, no doubt it’s one of the best dps-bursting set in game.
The light burst spear goes with a balanced boost in both offense and defense like water burst spear, but with a shorter time to achieve max drilling boost, thanks to the ability that reduces time needed to reach max drill. The RGR magi slot is a tiny down side, as spear isn’t great in magi dmg, and burst spear is better to pair up with some particular support magi.

Water Burst Bow + Dark Heat Spear

More information:
Water Burst Bow
Dark Heat Spear

Karyu: The water burst bow is one of the best of its kind. High magi charge speed, long burst mode duration, explosion dmg and even high burst gauge charge speed. Basically everything that greatly benefits burst bow is in the set. The only 1 downside is that the total burst gauge charge is just around 2% difference to reach “max gauge charged with 3 arrows explosion”, the amount of arrows needed to manually explode arrows. But this can be solved with some crystal ability or passive magi.
The dark heat spear is….just a heat spear. It’s basically the mixed version of Magna and Gorynich, along with some onslaught dmg (which is useless). The dmg reduction covers up lack of survivability of heat spear, with high dark and jump dmg. Dmg is pretty high, but heat spear is hard to use in current and future era.

Fire Oracle GS + Earth Burst DB

More information:
Fire Oracle GS
Earth Burst DB

Karyu: The earth burst db have one of the best magi combinations for a burst db. Atk speed both in Twin and Sync Edge allows you to perform better burst gauge and magi charge, and better dps as well. The magi charge during Sync Edge allows you to maintain some particular magi buffs. One of the best sets you can get if you have the correct magi combinations.
The fire oracle gs is somewhat slightly better than mediocre. The Spin Smash dmg is useless as all dmg is concentrated into Dive Smash. The magi charge does help you to cast magi when needed, and atk speed allows you to charge into Dive Smash quicker. Not as good as the light oracle gs, but not bad either.

Lightning Oracle SNS + Water Oracle GS

More information:
Lightning Oracle SNS
Water Oracle GS

Karyu: The very first oracle sns. The oracle gauge charge speed helps a lot, since dmg barrier activates every time oracle mode is activated. Dragon Assault is also the main dps move for oracle sns. However, lack of atk speed makes it being a bit clunky. Though, there isn’t much great lightning sets, and lightning oracle sns no doubt is a better choice among those.
The water oracle gs is one of the best of its kind. It have high dmg boost in general. Not only it has attack speed to finish attacks quicker, but also greatly reduces the Dive Smash charge time, as the time while charging is quite fatal. These abilities makes it way easier for oracle gs to compete with other sets.

Light Burst Bow + Fire Oracle SNS

More information:
Light Burst Bow
Fire Oracle SNS

Karyu: The light burst bow is literally “the light soul bow amongst other soul bows”. It has high burst gauge charge speed, enough for you to fully charge burst gauge with 1 manual explosion (3 arrows). It also has high burst mode dmg, which is helpful when the burst gauge charge speed is high. A very strong set in general.
The fire oracle sns is not bad either. High Dragon Assault dmg on the armor and Oracle mode dmg on the weapon. Most interestingly there’s Warp distance increase, which greatly improves the mobility of oracle sns, especially in dodging. What’s better is that this set can be paired up with Ayame the fire soul sns, a great weapon that provides attack speed and fire dmg, even sacrificing some oracle mode dmg and drain speed reduction. One of the rare sets that DOESN’T require a full set.

Dark Heat Bow

Karyu: The earth burst spear is another strong set. High dmg boost when reaching max drill, high aerial shot dmg (which is your main dps move), and reduces time needed to reach max drill. A dmg concentrated set like the fire burst spear.
The dark heat bow is another good set for highly skilled heat bow players. It even have longer restrain duration than Maximus, and also Dmg during restrain for better dmg boost. Unlike Maximus it has a more balanced magi slot, but since it has heal slot it has a better survivability than Maximus.

All you need to know about Altair Sphere!


Hey guys, it’s Deranged here! Today I shall be talking about one of the most popular defensive support magi, Altair Sphere! While many players use this magi, not many know how it fully works!

Magi Description: “Places shield that blocks attacks, status ailments & restraining attacks for 60s. Immune to damage, staggering & faster reviving when shielded. *Shield is unaffected by your stats & doesn’t prevent damage higher than it. Only one shield can be active.”

How it works

When you cast the magi, a shield appears on the spot you are at. While standing in the shield, you are immune to all kinds of status effects and damage. This effect applies for everyone in the shield, including your party members. However, you can still be pushed out of the sphere, so beware!

In addition, the durability of the shield is fixed, and not affected by your max HP or defense. What this means is that this magi is especially strong if you do not have good SS armour or HP passives! Take a look at these short comparison clips, showing how the shield holds up strong even when wearing little or no armour!

Shield barely scratched from multiple attacks!                 Instant death from 1 attack


This magi takes 120s of idle time to charge fully, similar to cloaks and quad/vita aegis. Unlike the Aegis magis, an added advantage of Altair Sphere is that you can charge it while the shield is up! Of course, this does not mean that you can continually cast the magi, as only 1 shield can be active per player at any time. Also, the durability of the shield can deplete from behemoth attacks, even if you're not inside the shield! Therefore, make sure to cast the shield only when you need it.

Weapon type compatibility

As you have to be in the immovable shield for its effect to take place, this magi is especially useful for weapon types that can attack from range, not having to move as much. On the other hand, weapons with shorter range do not benefit as much.

Tips & Tricks

Rage can be pretty annoying at times. The behemoth is down to its last stretch, but dispels all your buffs and becomes incredibly resistant to magi damage. Fret not, you are immune to the dispel effect while standing in the shield! Protect you and your teammates' buffs from the dispel to burst down the behemoth for the final victory!

While Altair Shield has a fixed durability, the player does not receive any additional damage when the shield breaks. This makes it especially nifty for tanking behemoth ultimates. However, use with caution as behemoths may have multi-hit ultimates that break the shield on its first hit.

Discussion: Future Equipment Banner Review 2

Shishui: Hey readers! The previous Future Equipment Banner Review article by Zangod ended at the Dark Burst Great Sword and Light Burst Sword and Shield Banner.. which is just released 2 weeks ago in Global. 

So it's time to do a new update with someone i bet you all know :3

You got that right! It's Karyu! This is Karyu's 2nd time appearing in this blog for discussions! (Karyu has also provided all the equipment stats for the blog :3)

He is a JP player (so he basically lives in the future) who had experienced and gained alot of insights and knowledge about each and every equipment, which makes him the perfect person i can get to do this kind of reviews!

From this, we can get an idea of the each banner and plan ahead on which banner to summon because we ain't got that much gems to summon every banner right? 

So what do you think about the following banners Karyu? 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Burst SNS + Water Burst DB

More information:
Water Burst DB

Karyu: The fire burst sns is a strong set. The parry judge ability is in the same ability as fire dmg, which allows you to have both high fire dmg and parry judge time. It have double attack magi slot, and with the magi charge on wep you can further enhance your magi spamming. Definitely a good fire set to get. As for water burst db, it’s quite straight and narrow with its ability. It have high burst gauge charge which is very good for burst db, but boost for sync edge dmg is rather low. Therefore it’s mainly long time in burst mode but dps is not as high (just like wycana among all snc). However, you may pair up with 4 savern armor for a magi spam playstyle.

As a fire set - 4/5

Water Burst DB

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More information:

Karyu: The earth burst gs is one of the best of its kind. Bullet increase that is on weapon, a total of +60% reload speed and bombard dmg are the essential abilities on a burst gs. With full set you can dish out some high dps. The weapon itself can be sub into other burst gs sets for the bullet increase and reload speed. As for water soul bow, it’s the only soul bow that increase the lock-on limit. However, lack of soul charge makes it hard to deal high dmg. The anti-burn on weapon is also useless, wasting an ability. Though, it’s still a soul bow. Not bad if you lack a good water set.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Light Burst DB + Dark Burst Spear

More information:
Dark Burst Spear

Karyu: The light burst db is one of the best. It provides high sync edge dmg and atk speed during endless waltz, very ideal for burst db to deal high dps. There’s also atk speed during twin edge so it’s easier to charge burst gauge. However, it’s quite hard to use burst db, and this set doesn’t have heal slot, which in some way is a glass cannon set. The burst spear is a strong set as well. It provides burst gauge charge speed to reduce the blank timing between your attacks, as drilling takes up your burst gauge fast. With faster gauge recharge you can perform drilling in a shorter time. Other abilities are pretty general, but is enough to support the set.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Burst GS + Lightning Burst DB

More information:
Lightning Burst DB

Karyu: The most op burst gs came. The fire burst gs have way higher elem atk than other burst gs, also have 13 bullets in total. You can literally “burst” the behemoth to death in just 1-2 bombard. There’s casting speed on armor as well, which reduces the risk of you get interrupted while casting magi (especially 2 stage and QA etc). The disadvantage is quite obvious: takes long time to reload, which might be fatal in high difficulty fights. The lightning burst db concentrates on fatigue dmg, which is not good as most behemoths have short fatigue time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Burst DB + Water Burst Spear

More information:

Water Burst Spear

Karyu: The fire burst db allows you to charge magi fast and safely due to the magi charge speed and dmg reduction during Twin edge. It also extends the duration of burst mode and allow you to dish out high dmg at a longer time, but very weak while charging burst gauge back. Better go for magi spamming. The water burst spear is very good, as it reduces the burst gauge needed to deal maximum drilling dmg. There’s also dmg reduction when using spin shield. A set that that’s good at offensive and defensive.

Earth Soul Spear + Dark Burst Bow

More information:
Earth Soul Spear
Dark Burst Bow

Karyu: Soul spear unfortunately is already a weak weapon as it’s doesn’t have any good defensive mech, especially facing later behemoths, but the earth soul spear have what it needs to be strong. It have atk speed, soul mode dmg, and even soul gauge drain reduction, allowing you to stay longer in soul mode in order to provide large dps. The dark burst bow is kind of average, just like those that are first of its kind. Burst gauge charge speed is not enough to let you enter burst mode directly with 3 arrows, so it needs longer warm up than other sets. The set also goes with arrow rain style rather than shooting explosion arrows, as the set have almost doubled the amount of arrows in arrow rain, but not any explosion dmg. It’s slightly better than mediocre in general.

Karyu: Water burst sns is the only burst sns that have RBB slot, which allows you to pair with both offensive and defensive support magi. It also have high atk speed with longer burst mode, allowing you to dish out high dps with burst mode normal combo. However, since it’s still burst sns, you need to keep healing as you’re tanking hits. Lack of heal slot might lead to often death if you aren’t good enough at parry. A strong set that requires skills. The lightning oracle gs could be ignored, as most of its ability is not as helpful to oracle gs.

Karyu: The fire burst spear is a dmg concentrated set, as it provides high dmg boost when reaching max drill. The burst gauge charge speed is good as it reduces the blank window between attacks. Just beware that it doesn’t have dmg reduction as the previous 2 burst spear sets. The earth burst bow is a good set in general, as it gives burst mode dmg and explosion dmg. The arrow increase in arrow rain can be ignored when there’s explosion dmg. While it provides good dmg boost, there isn’t any burst gauge charge speed. Therefore it’s a set that needs long warm up time in order to start dealing good dmg.

Beginner Tips & Tricks! (Part 1: Abilities)

Hey guys, its Deranged again! Today I'll be talking about some beginner tips & tricks that I found very useful while playing Dragon Project. Part 1 will be about some tips & tricks I discovered about abilities! While many veterans should already know the information that I'll be covering, some of these tips are not immediately apparent while playing the game. Hopefully everyone can discover a new thing or two!


Primary & Secondary abilities

1. Abilities re-rolling

Re-rolling the randomly assigned abilities can give you a massive boost in power! Most equipment have the option to gain a secondary ability similar to the primary ability and these are generally the most powerful abilities to have!

As you can see in this image, the secondary abilities (in yellow), provide similar bonuses as the primary ability (in green).

Make sure to stack up these bonuses to maximize your damage while fighting behemoths!





Secondary weapons provide extra stats

2. Weapon abilities

Many players opt to go for 7/7 for their behemoth sets instead of 5/7. This refers to 3 weapons + 4 armour pieces instead of 1 weapon + 4 armour pieces.

Why would players spend their gems to obtain the 2nd and 3rd weapon that they may not be using? This is because the abilities on your 2nd and 3rd weapon do stack, and you receive additional bonuses just by simply equipping them in your armory!

Make sure to evolve and also re-roll your 2nd and 3rd weapons' abilities for maximum bonuses!

Half price on Wednesdays!

3. Half price re-rolling

Re-rolling abilities can be a costly endeavor. It costs 50,000 gold each time to re-roll an SS grade gear. Having many possible combinations, it can cost upwards of millions to get nicely rolled abilities!

However, did you know that re-rolling abilities on every Wednesday is half priced? It costs 25,000 gold from 50,000 gold per re-roll on an SS grade gear.

Make sure to take advantage of this tip and optimize your gear while saving millions!

Deranged's Christmas Magi Series Review


Merry Christmas! With Christmas comes 2 new magis, Christmas Surprise and Merry Stompin’! This banner also comes with Champion's Vigor and Furious Flurry. Below shall by my analysis on the two new magis and my overall evaluation on the banner.

Christmas Surprise

Christmas Surprise is an earth element, attack type magi that summons a Christmas tree, which spins and does damage, whilst increasing the fatigue gauge of the behemoth.

Damage: Damage dealt to the behemoth
Charge speed: Rate at which the magi fills up
Cast speed: Time taken to cast magi, period of vulnerability
Utility: Additional effects, range of attack

Comments:
This magi does decent damage for its charge speed. However, it takes a short while for the damage to sink in while the Christmas tree rotates, which fast moving behemoths might negate.

Additionally, it is a long-ranged magi, making it compatible with long-ranged weapons like bows.

While it increases the fatigue gauge of the behemoth, the increment is minimal and often insignificant. It also lacks the anti-paralysis effect or slow/weak effect that many other earth attack magis provide.

Merry Stompin’

Merry Stompin’ is a fire element, attack type magi that summons 3 giant socks that crashes on the enemy, inflicting burn damage on earth behemoths.

Cast speed: Time taken to cast magi, period of vulnerability
Utility: Additional effects, range of attack
*with burn damage

Comments:
This magi does decent damage and also inflicts the burn status on earth behemoths, being especially useful against high health behemoths. It also casts relatively quickly and is unlikely to be interrupted if used right.

Like Christmas Surprise, it is also a long-ranged magi and is compatible with all weapon types.


Overall Review of this Banner

The 2 new attack magis are weak-average with many superior alternatives for each element, such as Jack-O-Lantern Bomb/ Star of Baldr for earth and Heartstrike/ Eingram Star for fire. 

While Champion’s vigor is a decent magi for soul weapon types, there are also better alternatives like incarnations and stances. Additionally, soul weapon types have been mostly released, so it may not be suitable for newer players or players who do not have soul sets.

Furious flurry is an old magi with little use and is generally used as fodder for leveling other support magis. 

All in all, the banner has mediocre and weak magis, so its best to save your gems unless you wish to collect the seasonal exclusive magis (Christmas Surprise/ Merry Stompin')
