Dragon Blaze (iOS/Android) |OT| Looks Like Vanillaware, Tastes Like F2P

This game has more reviews than RK on Android and actually outperforms RK on Android in terms of gross revenue. On iOS RK is higher by about 25% in terms of gross.
I think people vastly overestimate how many people play these games. Just because they show a number and you go "wow, that's not much" that doesn't mean games like RK have a lot either. These games are niche.

I think Deathcrown is pretty decent, he does a fair amount of AoE damage and can stun. When well geared, he can be quite a terror in arena (but so can just about any well geared SSS).
I would not worry too much about any tier list. All SSS are perfectly usable and unless they are one of the top tier units, they are really just there to hold you over until you can turn them into fodder for a ascended unit.
He is pretty much a tankier fulson, a little bit less damage, but also has an AOE.
With the tier list, it also has a lot of new season two heroes, currently I think he's definitely above average.
Currently got my warrior to level 40. The grind is getting longer per level, I'm hoping to get 55 before Tuesday and just make the warrior my main
Also got 100 rubies for mastering an entire area which was a little nice bonus while leveling.

WOOT! JUST CLEARED MYTH!!!
Gram+5 for the win! I'm glad that he has that shield and the CC skills to stun the 2nd wave. Was this close to getting wiped out with my support.
How I feel right now:

Congratulations! You're ready for season 2!
So finally farmed up 20 Red roses.
Since I'm a mage, it's kind of just useless. Guess I have something to give to bloodwind.

Your inventory, I want.
Thanks, by the way.
Also, I farmed up enough red roses and got a brooch that was perfect for Gram. So that kind of worked out in its own way.
EDIT:
Does Myth Deathcrown drop red weapons or do I have to smack Myth Deus for my red weapons?
Even with all those items in my storage, I've yet to complete my myth blazing set. Super salty.
I've gone through both Legend and Myth now never completing a set. It's pretty infuriating.

Deus holds all the SSS weapons and grats on beating myth.

I didn't start Myth until I had my full set of Buster gear (lvl 50 red set) for my archer and priest characters.
God damn it. That makes me rage. Fighting Deus is all sorts of bullshit, even on Legendary difficulty.
Thanks, by the way.
EDIT:
4 Myth Deathcrown runs in, I get a red armor for my archer character. Another 10 runs later, I get another red armor that is generic enough to be used by anyone.

Woot, congratz!!
I'm having bad time with drop in raids so my poor Porin is still not prepared to advance with me in Myth.

Decided to start all over again on the EU server (I'm UK based) and abandon my poor luck and progress on the US server.
Was getting pissed off with the push notifications on my phone corresponding to the EU server and not ever getting the rewards because of it.
New name is SlipperTop (Account: SlipperTap) if anyone wants a referral for EU or is high level and is kind enough to befriend me lol

Thanks Chaos, appreciate it!
Also really impressed with the new player login rewards. RanRan on day 1, and Mystery King on day 7. Those two should take me straight through to Myth!
Oh, so it was not Asia server only those reward, cool for ya!
Please tell us what you get with the Mystery king

DDC is easy on Myth. You lose sometimes, but getting a party that completely wipes the floor with him is not super uncommon.
On ios, RK has almost 11,000 reviews. Dragon Blaze has under 1,000. The reason RK isn't higher on revenue is because they give you all of the characters for free and because they give out an insane amount of free premium currency. I think DB also gives you a great amount of free gems.
Agreed on the niche-ness of these games, but I think you are underestimating how popular the most popular ones are. There are some that makes $1m+ per day, and I know RK has over 5+ million downloads in Japan alone.
And the only reason I care about how popular these games like DB are is because it directly impacts my enjoyment of the game, especially since we have to rely on other players for GB and raids (until AI gets added soon at least!). It's also much harder to finish well in events when there are so few players. The people that stay tend to be the ones that have invested a lot of time/money into the game, so they are at the top. I need to noobs to prop me up
Anyway, looking forward to S2. I think I'm going to ascend one of my warriors because I already have 3 at max. My SSS rogue and archer are unenhanced

I just don't think this game is anywhere near "dying", which is I believe what you said in an earlier post. There are games with 10% of the revenue that are still up and running.
Of course you have your heavy hitters and such, and those make mad bank, but it's very possible to be successful without having anywhere near those numbers.
You're very well within your right to only want to play the popular games. Heck, being part of a zeitgeist is very fun, I can admit to that. But I just think it's a little harsh to be fearful of the future of this game when it has as many players as some smaller MMOs that are still going strong, that's all. Do I wish it were more popular? Damn skippy. Some of it is on Gamevil, too. Splitting servers, not feeling like they're invested in the community, not being open with patch notes. They feel too hands off.
If I misinterpreted your posts, I apologize.
Oh, what I was getting at by my earlier post was the fact that the game doesn't really give people much of an incentive to spend money because premium pulls don't give top units. I am always of the mind that these types of games are successful because of the whales who spend so much money to make up for the f2p players. That's why I was fearful for its long term future - because people wouldn't feel the need to spend. I don't have that fear for RK because I think SE is just pushing out RK in order to build the FF brand. It's working... I've purchased 3 FF games since RK has come out after buying 0 the last 5 years.

Lol an event to write fanfic of Deathcrown X Mercedes. Top prize is 10 rubies. I liked the "write a haiku" contest on Reddit for 200 rubies more.
I'm at 5.5 million. I figure I'll probably need it later, and it's the easiest way to spend tickets if you don't have access to Myth Deathcrown yet.
Seriously, getting SS should automatically guarantee at least purple drops. It's totally soul crushing to see everyone else get an SS item in their treasure chest and you're the dummy who gets stuck with a freakin' BLUE.
Character name
Thanks!
I think the question is the promotion within Dragon Blaze, which says that you get rubies if you play up to a certain point in Million Arthur.
That might be it. It was scarce on details. I'm not sure how far into it I'd need to play. Sigh.
20 rubies.
Interesting, I might try to too then.
I'm using Blustack and others use Andy.

I had a raid 2 days ago where I was on my priest in a 2 priest + 1 sheep mage + 1 shield bash tank. We were in the raid for 5 minutes or something and the raid boss had half hp. Then the boss suddenly decided to kill itself.
We got C ranking but yellow rewards.
This fucking game.
Finally Gamevil USA revealed the patch day but no surpise, it's same as Japan : 21 july.

First time hearing about it. The only SS ticket I have heard of and am anticipating is the pre registration one for season 2. And sounds like this isn't it.
"Darn! I got Shabelle! And I previously got Tiel and Gram. Why does RNGesus hate me? Woe is me."
Finally downed Myth Gram with my rogue, happy as I was tired of banging against it. It'll be nice to have a new end boss to hate in a week
Ha, thats a problem I'd love to have
