High Midgardsormr, often abbreviated HMS, HMD, or HMid, is the first of the High Dragon Trials that was released with the launch of the game. High Midgardsormr is considered to be part of Dragalia Lost's end-game content, and requires a higher degree of preparation, skill, and team coordination.

Preparation

Obtaining the Glorious Tempest

High Midgardsormr's Trial begins with an initial blast, called Calamitous Storm, that deals approximately 2278 damage to fire-elemental melee adventurers and approximately 2848 damage to fire-elemental ranged adventurers. Mitigating and surviving the high damage is best done by obtaining the wyrmprint, which gives a 25% damage reduction from High Midgardsormr and a 5% damage reduction from wind enemies.

Reaching the Stat Requirements

High Midgardsormr's Trial requires the player to have enough HP to survive and enough STR to defeat High Midgardsormr within the 05:00 time limit.

HP Requirement

After the player obtains and equips the Glorious Tempest, Calamitous Storm will deal approximately 1624 damage to fire-elemental melee adventurers and approximately 2029 damage to fire-elemental ranged adventurers. To survive this, the player must have HP equal to or greater than the damage dealt. This can be achieved by:

1. Promoting and leveling adventurers,
2. Activating a significant number of mana circle nodes,
3. Crafting higher tiered weapons, and
4. Upgrading elemental altars and weapon dojos in the Halidom.

Not having enough HP may cause the player to instantly die or be subjugated through a damage "roulette," where adventurer has a chance of surviving due to damage variation. Although it is possible to clear High Midgardsormr by surviving the roulette, it is highly discouraged due to the amount of time it takes to gather a team, make the lobby, share the room's ID, and load the battle.

STR Requirement

High Midgardsormr has 863,164 HP and must be defeated within the 05:00 time limit. Therefore, the team must have enough damage-per-second (DPS) to defeat it in time.

Because DPS is a mixture of the STR stat and individual player's performance, the STR requirement is more of a recommendation than a hard requirement. A lower STR stat can be compensated with higher player skill. For the purpose of easing newer players into High Midgardsormr's Trial, the STR requirements listed below is written with the assumption that the player is a novice to the Trial.

For individual adventurers, 2000 STR is the minimum recommended STR.

However, for an entire team, 2200 STR is the minimum recommended average of all the damage dealers. Therefore, a player that meets only the minimum recommended STR will have to group with other players that have higher STR.

Warning against cheating the requirements

Due to the HP check being the only hard requirement to take on the rest of the fight, it is possible to "cheat" the requirement by wearing an HP dragon such as Phoenix on a DPS adventurer. This will result in the player's DPS adventurer having very little STR, leading to either a time out in an inexperienced team or the other teammates putting in more effort than usual.

While HMS is still clearable with one low STR DPS teammate, many players do not appreciate having to "carry" another teammate who did not put in the same effort in preparing as they did.

Adventurer Builds

Mikoto is a DPSer and provides the most damage among the viable HMS DPSers due to his self-buffing skills, crit passives, and STR co-ability.

Tips

• Attack Combo should consist of 5 full hits.The last spin attack gives the most skill points (SP) for recharging skills and should not be skipped if possible.
• Attack with the full length of your weapon. Doing so will reduce the chances that you steal Tornado Ball aggro from the baiter.
• The weapon skill of Heaven's Acuity, Heaven's Flames, can be used to iframe 2 Tornado Balls or 2 tornadoes during Gale Blast. However, using the skill at the wrong times (such as during Trident Tempest or Glorious Tempest) may cause you to die as a result of the skill's long animation.
• During Overdrive, it is generally better to complete the full attack chain and force striking to cancel the ending animation to build up skill points and maintain Ruin Stance. However, there are occasions when your team's DPS is lacking and requires you to break as fast as possible for the extra damage. Force Strike spams can also be useful for timing HMS's break right when he's about to summon Golems. This will allow you to entirely skip Golems so gauge your team's DPS and adjust accordingly.

2:15	Gale Blast	Four gales will appear in the northern half of the map. It is best to avoid this region around this time. The gales will move straight forward through the middle of the map one at a time. The first gale to do so will have a white dust cloud surrounding it. Walk towards that gale and wait for it to move. Slowly occupy each space where the previous gale started from.

1:15	Gale Blast + Tattered Sky	Similar to the first gale; however, there will be a Tattered Sky that requires players to stack. Common strategy for a team to not take too much damage during this move is for the Verica to take the Tattered Sky alone, walk to the middle, transform into Phoenix, and then use Phoenix's skill to tank the Tattered Sky alone. No amounts of damage can take a player out of its dragon form as long as it is in the middle of its skill animation. Players can tank any skill with this method as long as they are in the middle of a dragon skill.
