View source for Progression Guide

{{NoticeUnderConstruction}}{{NoticeCollaborativeGuide}}

This is a guide for efficiently progressing to and through endgame content in Dragalia Lost after you have cleared through at least Chapter 9 of the Normal difficulty story quests in order to have unlocked all features and quests.

The current endgame content is regarded as Expert and Master difficulties of [[Advanced Dragon Trials]] (aka. High Dragon Trials, or HDTs), and [[Volk's Wrath/Expert]] and Expert difficulties for future Agito quests.

== Preparation ==

=== Facilities ===
Facilities that increase the stats of adventurers are a large contributor to a unit's HP and strength and leveling them is a crucial step for preparing for endgame content.

=== Adventurers ===
Given the difficulty of endgame quests, adventurers should generally be upgraded as much as possible to maximize the chances of success. This includes:

* '''Promotions''' — {{3*}}and {{4*}}adventurers should be promoted all the way up to {{5*}}
* '''Mana Circle and Mana Spiral''' — all 50 nodes in the base mana circles should be unlocked. Additionally, for adventurers that have a [[Mana Spiral]], those nodes should also be unlocked as far as possible. Some of the later nodes in Mana Spirals require materials dropped by High Dragon Trials.
* '''Augments''' — [[Fortifying Crystal|Fortifying Crystals]] and [[Amplifying Crystal|Amplifying Crystals]] can add up to +100 HP and +100 Strength to an adventurer. This amount is additional multiplied by Adventurer Facilities and is a substantial increase in stats.

=== Wyrmprints ===
The effects of wyrmprints range wildly, so picking appropriate wyrmprints for endgame quests for your adventurer is critical. Besides choosing the appropriate prints, the prints should be max unbound and also preferably max augmented with +100 HP from [[Fortifying Gemstone|Fortifying Gemstones]] and +100 Strength from [[Amplifying Gemstone|Amplifying Gemstones]]. While wyrmprint stats do not get multiplied by any facilities, the +400 total stats from two fully augmented wyrmprints is still a significant boost.

=== Dragons ===
With some few exceptions, players are expected to have appropriate {{5*}}gacha dragons that are max unbound and max leveled for all endgame content.

=== Weapons ===

=== High Dragon Trial Opening Blast ===

== Void Battles ==
While there are many Void Battles whose weapons are critical for strengthening your party and preparing for endgame content, there are a number that are considered skippable and largely unnecessary. This section will focus on an efficient progression path for the more important Void Battle quests. For a more comprehensive overview of all the Void Battles, please refer to '''[[Void Battles Guide]]'''.

== High Dragon Trials and Agito ==
Unlocking High Dragon Trials requires first clearing Master difficulty of the dragon in Dragon Trials. Unlocking Agito requires having cleared Standard difficulty of any High Dragon Trial. Standard HDTs can be done in any order though their difficulty varies with the first ones released being the easiest (High Midgardsormr, High Mercury, and High Brunhilda in roughly increasing order of difficulty) and the last ones being the hardest (High Jupiter and High Zodiark).

For Expert and Master difficulties of HDTs, along with Expert difficulties of Agito, there are recommended orders in which to defeat them as each HDT drops materials to craft weapons of their element that are strong against the next High Dragon, and not all the quests of the same difficulty level are equally accessible.

=== Wind-Water-Flame Triangle ===

# Start in Expert High Midgardsormr with flame Chimeratech Tier 2 weapons, to craft a HDT1 wind weapon
# Clear Expert High Mercury with the HDT1 wind weapon and craft a HDT1 water weapon
# Clear Expert High Brunhilda with the HDT1 water weapon
# Go back and clear Expert High Mercury more to MUB the HDT1 water water weapon
# Clear Master High Brunhilda with the MUB HDT1, and farm it and eHBH enough to craft a HDT2 weapon, and then MUB it with [[Damascus Ingot|Damascus Ingots]] or duplicates.
# (optional) Clear Expert Volk with the MUB HDT2 flame weapon
# Clear Master High Midgardsormr with the MUB HDT2 or with a MUB 6* flame weapon from Expert Volk
# Clear Master High Mercury with a MUB HDT2 wind weapon

=== Light-Dark ===

# Start in Expert High Zodiark with a MUB Void Bane weapon or an off-element MUB HDT2 or 6* weapon
# Clear Expert High Jupiter with a HDT1 from eHZD
# Clear Master High Zodiark with a MUB HDT1 from eHJP
# Clear Master High Jupiter with a MUB HDT2 from mHZD

There is another options for Light-Dark now with the release of Light Agito (Kai Yan's Wrath):

# Expert High Zodiark
# Expert High Jupiter for orbs and tail for Mana Spiral for 70MC shadow units
# Expert Kai Yan with {{6*}}0ub weapon from Standard first clear rewards to max unbind the {{6*}}
# Master High Jupiter
# Master High Zodiark
