Story
A century ago, after a brutal series of battles, dragons were thought to be extinct, bringing peace to the world. But Will, a young man with deep-seated resentment toward dragons—perhaps due to his father’s obsession with them—discovers that they have survived. When he encounters Shikina, a mysterious girl who shows no fear of dragons, Will is drawn into a journey that could uncover long-buried truths about the bond between humans and dragons.
Rotation Battles: Strategic Combat in Motion
In battle, allies form a single-file line while enemies spread out side by side, creating dynamic engagements. After each action, you can choose to rotate your characters’ positions or hold your formation, adding a layer of tactical depth. The turn order for both allies and enemies is clearly displayed, allowing you to plan and execute advanced strategies. For example, you can send a high-defense character to the front as a shield or maintain an aggressive formation to keep up relentless attacks.
Unleash Devastating Attacks in Ruin Mode
Every enemy has three attack points, and striking a weak spot triggers a critical hit. Landing three consecutive weak-spot strikes activates Ruin Mode, unlocking devastating attacks capable of overwhelming your foes. Each character can summon a unique sub-character, unleashing dynamic skills that can turn the tide of battle—even finishing off enemies in a single, powerful blow.
Customize and Strengthen Your Team
As your characters level up, you’ll earn points to enhance their stats and shape their growth to match your tactics. Develop each character’s abilities to fit specialized roles, from resilient tanks to swift attackers, crafting a team that complements your strategy. By boosting parameters, you’ll also unlock new skills, deepening your combat options and ensuring each battle plays out according to your unique playstyle.
