This doesn’t seem to be much fun. They made a worse version of the Shironeko controller (I suspect because of Nintendo suing Colopl over it) which makes it hard to change direction without the controller recentring on your finger bringing you to a screeching halt, the seeming lack of the charge abilities really hurts and that awful dash attack completely destroys the speed of your attacks because the first time you attack a new group there’s a solid chance that you will do that attack and just stand still for about a second. The main menu screens running at a choppy 30fps isn’t great either when the in game action is mostly smooth.

The Japanese 5* rate being lower than the Asian one frankly takes the piss but I suppose it’s hard to be surprised by that.

As a reminder, if you set your freebie unit as a friend unit (in More/Friend), you get 300 Wyrmite, which alongside the launch gems gives you enough for two ten-pulls.

Not that it counts for that much given these rates, holy hell.

Wait, are the JP rates literally different? How the hell are they even managing that.

I don't think I really agree with the rest and there's also the fact that Rune Story/Shironeko managed to douse itself in gasoline and burn in NA, but I should play more before really passing that judgment

I'm assuming two reasons:

1) FIGS wasn't ready in time; even the English version, while excellent, is outsourced (to 8-4)

2) the recent Belgian ruling may have NoE thinking twice about gacha stuff period.

Not sure but I saw a screenshot of the Asian version with 5.98% and on the Japanese version it’s a straight 5%. Suspect it’s determined by the country you select when you start/link your Nintendo account.

I’ll try some more characters before I completely give up but my heart sank when I swapped to a ranged character and they did that same dash attack. Just made me want to start up Shironeko and use that character who fires automatically when charging so you basically just strafe the entire level.

that's such a weird wonky percentage that the screenshot probably comes from a dry run after a few rate up stacks.

Well it took eight ten rolls across four accounts, but I managed to get a good account. Ezelith and Xander. A pretty good start.

2394 1621 934 if anyone's interested; since the public listings are full of Ezes, I put my Xander up for people to try out. He's a stupid anime goofball and is p. good.

Ah good. Reddit nerds figured out emulator workarounds while I was sleeping. Now to try rerolling a bit before work.

Rerolling seems like such a pain, I wish Gachas would just cut the middle man and make the first roll re-doable until you're fine with the result. The idea that I'll be at a disadvantage if I don't delete and reinstall repeatedly until I get one of the best starter units is so miserable it keeps me from starting most gacha games. But I really like the art for this one. Agh.

Hopefully there's some goons that rerolled something interesting, though since it's a mobile game, I doubt the trading works as well.

Got Ezelith, a 5* wyrmprint, and two 5* dragons for my two ten-rolls. I guess this is as good as I can get without massive rerolling.

I'm hoping this game will be F2P friendly. I suspect action-type games like this will require extremely powerful rolls to get through the difficult content and events.

I did my two 10 pulls and got excited for a 5* but it was just a "Valiant Crown" wyrmprint.

I blew it thought and linked my Nintendo account out the gate because I wasn't thinking so now I'm just stuck with a garbage team with three four star characters and a three star. :(

Welcome to the bad 5* pull club. On the bright side I like Elisanne as a character so more chance for her to shine I guess :v:

Welp, got a 5* dragon and duplicate 5* wyrmprints on my first rolls, don't think I have it in me to reroll for better than that.

This game does seem to have pretty nice production values and some level of intuitiveness--a lot more immediately interesting for me than, say, Summoners War. But not sure I actually want a mobile ARPG grinder in my life...

edit: There is a way to unlink an account and reroll, apparently--I think I saw it discussed somewhere on Reddit--but now I can't find the posts where people talk about it. Something about manage account-->deleting save data.

You can still delete the link to Dragalia and link another I think. It was possible with FEH so no reason it would be gone in Dragalia.

Awesome, thanks!

If anyone else is wondering it's in Options -> Account Management -> Delete Save Data

Do that, then delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store and you're good to go.

Nobody knows at this point.

I'm really hoping you can use the characters they give you along the way to slowly beat the story at least.


I haven't unlocked Coop yet but if it's each person controlling a character on the team, it'll be pretty amazing. AI control of the party isn't exactly great and I can't switch between characters fast enough (I can barely manage just the one).

The last stage of chapter 3 was the first one i failed to perfect on the first run, not because it was hard, but because this game controls like rear end.

Game is extremely cute so far but the movement controls seem really iffy, the way the movement arrow reorients if you move your finger fast still trips me up.
Friend code is 44457068054, I snagged a Maribelle character and Jean D'Arc dragon(?) if you wanna try them out.

Interested to see how raid stuff plays out and if its similar to granblue with how they help you build teams.

I rerolled until I got a 5* light tanker girl, and 5* nidhogg. Nidhogg looks bad rear end as all hell to be fair. I do think starting with a 5* character is more important than a dragon. You'll be playing the character 95% of the time not the dragon.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
You can upgrade characters' star rating like you can in FEH, so in the long run they should all be equivalent (barring OP skills and whatnot, but there's no guarantee that launch 5* characters will be any good anyway). So it's probably more important to aim for 5* dragons or wyrmprints.

Currently using some 3* black mage with animal ears because she reminds me of my FFXIV character.

Also, I didn't reroll at all, but I got two 5* wyrmprints on a later 10 pull and one of them is a worse version of a 4* one I already had?

Also also my friend code is 61263391464 for anime bunnygirl mage who's apparently a nervous wreck.

Got the focus 5* dragon, gonna call that good. Is there anything fancy you have to do to transfer accounts between devices or is it just linking to the nintendo account?

e: it is that easy. Link on rerolled emulator account, then link on your actual phone and you're golden
