The Bicentennial DragonLord Tournament of Glory!
Hey there, heroes!

This week, it's time for a DragonFable anniversary war! The Bicentennial DragonLord Tournament of Glory is on, and you're invited!


Flyers have been scattered all over Falconreach, inviting YOU (yes you!) to the Bicentennial DragonLord Tournament of Glory! (They even have your name on it, along with your dragon's!)

With promises of a great reward, that's enough to tempt any hero to participate, right? Just don't ask too many questions...

It's time for war!


Also this week, we have a new cosmetic weapon available!


The Draconic Wavecrest has been added to the Draconic Items seasonal shop! It will change its appearance to match certain elements, and you can click on it to change how you hold it!

You can pick it up this awesome weapon for 450 Dragon Coins.


Also, a couple of adjustments:
  • The UltraVultragon fight now gives significantly more exp.
  • Valencia's dialogue in the Ultra Vultragon fight has had some timing adjusted.
  • anything else i may have forgotten.

And that's all for this week!

Where is this release set in the timeline? During Book 3 or between Book 3 & Book 4

Can someone let me know this with the other releases from 2024 and 2025 please so I can play in order story wise

Thanks so much for your help

spoiler:

Judging by certain dialogues in this war's introductory cutscene and comparing it to a certain post-credits segment further along the main storyline, it can be presumed to be somewhere at Book 3. As for potential specific chronology, cannot be determined at this time beyond that it is probably before the end.

Unless you are too hardcore a sequentialist or not really ambitious in attaining Defender's Medals, you might as well contribute to the war effort when it is open to all.

spoiler:

While we already have the wave composition data available, what is not stated there is how our fellow "nameless" competitors encourage outright offensive-oriented builds (e.g. 200 STR/INT, 45 to wherever, likely to be CHA if you have a sufficiently trained Dragon) as their HP bars are practically on the same level as those on the mobs at Zeclem's Keep and Exaltia Archives. And you are encouraged to stun the DragonLord as any dragon that has access to a multihit breath attack can eat a chunk of HP from you (using a full offensive build in conjunction with Uragiri, those dragons can make you go from 100% to 60% HP in one turn).

EDIT: The alternative route is to Turn 1 burst the dragon. ShadowHunters with 200 MAG dragon and a stat of 200 INT/DEX 45 CHA can attain the necessary explosive power using Focus>sHorde>Nova to KO the dragon and leave the DL open to Attack on Turn 2.

After clearing 250 waves, this war feels slow. Short of whipping out (Reforged) Archivist, a class not really known for short turns, there's no consistent way to FTK the duos.

As it appears to me now, Chaosweaver seems to be handling the duos best with stats skewing towards a 200 Str/Dex alignment with gear favorable towards the dragonknight equipment to consistently take down the dragons in one shot . Which isn't surprising of course given the egambit boost but funnily enough even it won't consistently wipe the duos on your single turn unless you get lucky with a crit or lucky non-critical damage output on the dragonlord with your dragon having to finish them off instead with a nova. Part me wants to see how 200 luck does but right now this rate feels decent enough for clears.

Though I do find myself curious what we're going to see with these upcoming boss dragonlord fights in terms of mechanics I'm admittedly intrigued if they'll be more or less the same or if they'll each receive mechanics that feel unique to the way each look, can't wait to find out.


Edit: Alright just fought the countess and it's more than clear that these dragonlord fights are going to be pretty different from each other, with each potentially specializing in the use of one of the elemental skills? So, I suppose the next one will be light oriented? Additionally, I'm glad we do seem to get to speak with the dragonlord we've defeated, it's nice hearing about the world they come from.

I've been using the following gear with Chaosweaver (200 STR/DEX, the remaining points don't matter so I put them in LUK):

Uragiri III (Light of Ebil Dread slotted)
Cor-Demi Trio III
Akaz's Ampoule Ring IX
Warhelm of the Legion III
Parallel Chaos Amulet
Exalted Blaster II (Doom)
Warrior's Challenger Belt V
Legion Bracer

This makes Dominance under Gambit's +Boost effect deal a minimum of 1184 damage, which is enough to beat the highest HP mob from the regular waves (I don't know the HP values of the new rare wave yet)

Though I did have to switch my stats and gear for the 1st lock, can't just casually go unga bunga against that lol

Ah now I see, this gear set seems to have done the trick for these waves, thanks for the tip.

 The current rare wave duo has ~1.6K HP for the dragon, ~1.2K HP for the DL, with some degree of access to their "miniboss" powers. So if you confront them, no one will chastise you for going 3 turns with CW on them.

With the above setup, it's at most 2 turns. eGambit + Rip -> Dominance

Hey, I'm struggling with the countess and her dragon. If you don't mind, can you tell me how to beat her? I'm level 60 and have the Archivist. I've tried many times with Aegis and Uuanta as guests and my pet dragon but the closest i've ever gotten was beating the countess and getting her dragon down to 3k HP.

 Doesn't really tell much (e.g. your stats and gear) but part of the reason would be guest presence biting back. Slogged through the miniboss with Paladin.

I sought help elsewhere and yeah, i learned that guests amplify enemy damage, so i stopped using them. Even then, im still no where close to beating them.

 Which is why, what is your build? You didn't really give much a hint beyond a class that is second only to CCL in one trick pony-ness. And as demonstrated in the answers to your reddit post, you may want to go beyond it if Archi is not giving you any headway.
