Thread: Sword of the Dragon Slayer Guide

For those that play on Dmm and have tampered with skill AW, what are your princesses of choice? I have to admit one of the reasons I'm wondering if I should heavily invest ( I know I'm being very optimistic here, this is Nutaku Aigis after all) is the fact that she deals True damage and for example, on those videos people post with that infamous golem she seems like a very useful asset, being able to dish true damage from range while another tankier unit tanks.

Btw, I shamelessly printscr to paint these to use as placeholders if you like while you get proper ones, I seem to recall reading one post asking for them. No PS sorry.

Overall good choices are the following:

Sybilla
Still a powerful unit despite the buffs certain other Princesses have received. Sybilla has one of the highest single-target DPS and her high stats makes her all-around good for a variety of situations. She is not an ideal unit for tanking end-game level bosses, but she can still support your tank with very high raw magical DPS.

Olivia
One of the greatest physical damage tank. Impervious to physical damage for 15 to 25 seconds and can deal extremely high magical DPS to a single-target. Her high stats makes her useful in a variety of situations as well. Just don't let her less than average HP scare you from using her and a knowledgeable player will know how to use her properly. She does rely on her skill to fight bosses that deal large amounts of damage, but for everything else she does just as fine as Sybilla.

Sherry
A powerful Princess that emerged from the release of the Princesses' Skill AW. She has absurdly high DPS whenever she is using her Skill AW and hitting 5 targets. A very powerful melee support unit that rivals many Black units and their DPS as long as she is hitting 5 enemies continuously. She may even trump their DPS since it is magical damage and a majority of the enemies you fight have high defense. Sherry has nearly as much single-target DPS as Sybilla with her default skill at max level, but it is lowered due to her Skill AW's lower attack modifier. She has good stats and is as versatile as you would expect out of a Princess duelist. Pair her up with a dancer and watch things burn.

Lilia
A strong tank. She can tank many strong enemies well up until Golems or Greater Demons. She is really great against Dracolich since she is immune to paralysis for 60 seconds. She can deal as much single-target damage as Sherry now during her skill's duration. Don't expect her to tank end-game bosses such as the Iron Golem or Mithril Golem. Use proper physical damage tanks or Necromancers that are more suited for those situations.

Claudia
A good damage dealer. Her niche is to deal true damage and she has no problems fighting against enemies with high MR (Demons in particular). Since she is an event unit, she has a slightly lower attack speed compared to the other Premium Princesses. It's not hard to use her Skill AW since there are usually melee positions where she can use her skill properly. Just don't expect her to be a sniper like Sybilla or a DPS Queen like Sherry. Don't let her faults chase you away from her if you don't have any other Princesses since she proves to be useful in certain situations better than other Princesses. She is great at dealing with high DEF/MR enemies that deals magical damage with her default skill and there have been some events where she is really useful to many people due to that skill.

@exk
Wow, thank you exk! Fantastic post. You went beyond what I could have expected from an answer.

Thanks to you I think I'll focus on Olivie+Sherry combo and try to get Claudia to -2 CR or something like that. I can see now that I was very fortunate getting them while trying to get Minerva with a few rolls.

Thats what i've figured out very lately :'( so i should farm all the time until i get decent units to do 3rd map now. Got 3 fang from black dragon only at first time, other 5-6 tries, no drop...

Just tried out the G map today. Pretty sad that I wasted one SC and a lot of charisma after messing up like 2-3 times. Got it once will full drop so that's a plus. Going on a 5 SC spree again tonight.

So... are we gonna talk about awakening?
it's scheduled to start on March, this event ends next week
what do you guys think Dev Tea's plan is?

My guess:

->Open Spoiler<-

End of Sword of the Dragon Slayer, 1 week break, introduce awakening while still on break (2nd week) then event

They said awakening is supposed to hit on the 8th so it'd really be next week as the event ends :P

don't tell me... it was on twitter?

On ulmf actually.

So the devs said awakening is coming after the event and do we have a break this week?
