Welcome, aspiring Dragon Travelers! Understanding the core mechanics of Dragon Traveler is crucial for building powerful teams and conquering challenges. This guide breaks down hero progression, combat attributes, and the summoning system.
Hero Progression: Duplicates & Fodder
Upgrading your heroes to higher star tiers requires both duplicate copies of the hero and generic 'fodder' units. The higher the star rating, the more resources are needed. The costs below are cumulative, meaning each tier includes the requirements of all previous tiers.
| Star / Rarity | Copies (5★ Cumulative) | Fodder (6★ Cumulative) |
|---|---|---|
| 5★ | 1 | 0 |
| 6★ | 2 | 0 |
| Purple 1★ | 2 | 1 |
| Purple 2★ | 3 | 1 |
| Purple 3★ | 3 | 3 |
| Purple 4★ | 4 | 3 |
| Purple 5★ | 4 | 6 |
| Purple 6★ | 5 | 6 |
| Red 1★ | 6 | 10 |
| Red 2★ | 7 | 10 |
| Red 3★ | 8 | 14 |
| Red 4★ | 9 | 17 |
| Red 5★ | 10 | 20 |
| Red 6★ | 11 | 24 |
| Diamond | 13 | 30 |
Summoning: Mythic Tickets
Mythic Tickets are your gateway to obtaining new heroes. The summoning system includes shard generation and a 'pity' mechanic to guarantee hero acquisition.
- Pulls to Shards: Each pull on a banner converts directly into one shard.
- Total Shards per Cycle: 150 pulls are required to gather 150 shards.
- Bellflower Conversion: Approximately 600 Bellflowers are acquired every 60 pulls. These 600 Bellflowers can then be converted into 12 shards.
- Guaranteed Drop: A 'hard pity' system guarantees a hero drop every 41 pulls.
