Dragalia Lost |OT2| Boom.
- Thread starter kuroneko0509
- Start date
Some elements are actually rather ambiguous, which I think fits well with the whole Lovecraftian theme of her stories.
1st event
Lathna appears as the last survivor of a village where everyone just disappeared. In order to solve this mystery, Heinwald, a mage who focuses on the occult, proposes to unlock a sealed library. There they meet the black Nyarlathotep dragon, who was the library's guardian and discover everyone from the village was sealed into books there. They eventually find out that they were cultists following an unknown god called "Ancient One" who eventually received a savior called Nyarlathotep, who was the cause of the crisis.
Then, in the present, Lathna was supposedly attacked by Nyarlathotep. They go back there to confront it, but then Heinwald reveals that "Nyarlathotep" actually exists as separate beings and forms. The black one they met was with him and couldn't have attacked them - "Lathna" was actually a white Nyarlathotep who is the true villain. He takes a white dragon form, but he's defeated and sealed, and when the people are rescued from the books the real Lathna, a girl from the village who had seemingly been copied by white Nyarlathotep, appears among them, alive and well.

2nd event
Lathna is now revealed to be an orphan who lives alone. She had nightmares about the previous events too and one day just up and left (unconsciously) to a village where people worship Hastur. Curran and Heinwald are investigating this village, which is rumored to have immortal people, and meet her there again. Tons of stuff happens in the middle, but it's not really related to Lathna. In the end, Hastur was just a distraction and it was all a plot from Akasha, the head priestess, to awaken Lathna's real identity as Nyarlathotep in order to bring the Ancient One to their world. However, even when awaken as Nyarlathotep, Lathna denies her wish, saying she isn't a tool for humans.
The ending of the event kind of clashes with her adventurer story though, since Heinwald then tells her human personality to accept all of herself (including Nyarlathotep), while they're clearly separate and she just fears Nyarlathotep a lot in the beginning of Lathna's Adventurer story, with nothing said regarding Heinwald's words (likely because she was released before the event ended, so they didn't want to spoil it but it ends up kind of odd). Either way though, they still don't take her to New Alberia, which does match with the beginning of her adventurer story.

The form Lathna takes with her dragon transformation looks identical to the white Nyarlathotep from the first event.

Her adventure story though insinuates that
her and Nyarlathotep are really just the same person? Or was it Ulthur's doing?
I'm assuming the original Euden died and the current Prince is some kind of dragon baby.
A Dragalia, if you will.
One who was Lost by their parents as a child.
Gala boy came home, I have 22k wyrmite left for MH, I hope that's enough lol
I'd guess...
he had that dragon sickness but Aurelius made a pact with that "Finlorda" that saved his life but actually turned him into a dragon.
The 2nd event
already confirms that they're the same person. No contradiction there. What kind of clashes between the 2nd event and Lathna's adventurer story that's supposed to take place afterwards is that the 2nd event ends with Lathna accepting the Nyarlathotep side of her, but in the adventurer story she still fears it (in the beginning) and nothing about the event's ending is mentioned. That's what I meant by them being separate, I meant as far as identity/personality goes.

Gala damage so far: 29 single pull tickets (for rate-ups) and 13 10-pulls, no Gluca :(. Had some great dragon-luck, however, and ended up with 11 rainbows in total:
Vayu (UB 1 and 2)
AC-011 Garland (new)
Hastur (new)
Alexander (UB 4 [finally, another MUB light dragon, and without using stones!])
Garuda (UB 3)
Liger (UB 3)
As for adventurers, I got a shiny new Kirsty, and dupes of Nefaria, S!Verica, and Lin You (no Gluca spooks thankfully).
Really decent haul, despite a drought in there when I got to 8.5% pity... I'm probably gonna wait for the end of banner to spend any more of my 30k wyrmite reserve, just in case we get some free pulls over this weekend.

Was thinking of waiting until the last day to pull but of course I caved in and used around 90 single + 3 ten-pull vouchers. Result:
-Summer Celliera (Dupe)
-Student Maribelle (Dupe)
-Gala Mym (Dupe)
-Cassandra (Dupe)
-Wedding Ellisanne (Dupe)
-Gilgamesh (6th)
-Agni (2ub)
-Kamuy (New)
-Shinobi (6th)
-Siren x2 (MUB)
No Gala Luca :'(
On a brighter note the interlude was interesting and next reset we are getting a trailer of the Monster Hunter Event !

My luck wasn't particularly good, but it was good enough.
I got all the way up to a 9% pity rate only to get Simurgh out of it. Then after that I didn't see exactly how high my pity rate got, but I pulled up to 7.5%-8% pity or so and got a dupe Lin You and Gala Luca.
I've had much better luck getting 5*s on regular banners, so it was slightly disappointing, but I got GLuca without breaking the bank so I can't really complain. I have nearly 600 summons' worth of wyrmite/tickets left over for Monster Hunter in a week or so.

Galas/limiteds don't appear in Dream Summon, and we haven't had one for a good while now. Your best bet would probably be to wait for 2nd Anniversary and hope that there's another Platinum Summon that works like last year's did, except with only new Gala units since then AND you get lucky enough to get Luca from the guaranteed Gala.
There is. Between the daily endeavors and the Lunar New-Year log-in bonus that's already 1375 wyrmites before Gala ends.
I was worried, really don't want to spend $ but hate to leave 8% pity on the table...
GLuca's S2/S1 are perfectly timed for Mercurial Gauntlet's claps. By using 5C+FSC, I can use GLuca's S2 then S1 the clap every time. I think there might even be enough time to not need to Force Strike Cancel. Helped me finally get to Shadow MG50 very easily.
Now to decide which Dark Adventurer to bring to 70MC. I had my heart set on Patia; but I think I'll wait on more community feedback before taking the plunge. All of my eligible Adventurers (Curran/Heinwald/Patia) are 45MC and my Eldwater well is starting to run dry.

Oh man, they all look SICK. Can't wait to summon for these and I'm not stopping until I get all four. And as an added bonus I'll finally get my own Sarisse since I never summoned her during any of the Galas. Fantastic. ^_^
I know, but it's not like my Light team is lacking either with Guden and Mitsuhide in it.
Now if only Amane was given a Mana Spiral...
Having the adventurers in two parts makes it easier to go for a specific one at least. I really hope Sarisse is a strong DPS bow, as water needs the strength boost. I really want all four, so I'll need to plan my wymite spending. I'm sitting on a decent amount still, but RNG can be fickle...
Dragalia Lost x Monster Hunter collaboration website now live:
It looks like it will just be these two adventurers for 5*, but there will be an event update on February 3rd. At least, it doesn't mention a change to the summon showcase. This probably means Sarisse is either the welfare adventurer, or a 4* on the banner.

Hopefully Rathalos at least has 40% strength if they're too apprehensive on giving him 45%. Don't want to get my hopes too high since Mega Man literally had 3-star gacha stats (Alfonse at least had 4-star gacha stats), so collab welfare stuff isn't immune to getting underwhelming stats.
The event trailer explicitly states the summon showcase will be updated along with the second half of the event towards the end of the video:
Oh wow, didn't catch that. I wonder if they'll update the website later then.The event trailer explicitly states the summon showcase will be updated along with the second half of the event towards the end of the video:
I'll have to plan my spending then, as I need that Sarisse.
The update will probably be Omega difficulty or Fatalis being dropped in if it's not there at the start.
Looking cool though, but showing SHEER COWARDICE for going with a female character in the Kirin Armour and not a male one.
Edit: announcing a summoning showcase update is cool but uh... Will it be worth summoning before then? Or will the rates change on focus characters somehow?

Since launch, a focus adventurer has always had 0.5% focus, aside from the 2nd half of the anniversary gala where every single non-Euden Gala was on focus at a 0.2% rate. Even if the update adds to the current showcase, every focus adventurer would most likely still have a 0.5% rate, just taking some of the off-focus rate for the new additions. It only really "matters" if you don't care about or actively dislike the updated showcase units, at which point you'd only pull pre-update to get more off-focus units instead.
Based on this Reddit Post, the Hunter kits seem to be based on the Hunter Arts from MHGU. Based on the trailer footage, Berserker uses Moonbreaker for S1, and has a buff of some kind for S2. His FS has him charge up by holding the greatsword over his shoulder, then slamming it down. Vanessa uses Corkscrew Jab for her S1, and her S2 is also a buff. For Vanessa's FS, she literally holds up a shield and seems to take reduced damage while charging the FS, then charges forward and reduces the enemy defense by 5% (doing it again seems to just refresh the duration instead of stacking).
I don't play MH, so I have no idea how well these new mechanics mimic MH.
Also, I don't normally post fan art out of the spoiler, but this seems especially relevant. The mini-game on the JP event website revealed a new Wyrmprint featuring Pia in Gammoth Armor.
Someone literally drew and posted Gammoth Armor Pia fan art an hour and 19 minutes after the website went live.

So to be clear, I would expect that it's literally 2 different banners, not an actual update/expansion to the initial one. This is how the previous 2-part events+banners (summer and Stirring Shadows) have worked.
But the question is whether they banners will be overlapping, and if so, will they end on the same date- I have to think they do overlap at least, because it'd be a little weird to have the first half last for that much shorter than the second? And similarly there's the question of if you can still pull the first set's characters on the second banner, just not rated up; we don't have a limited 2-part as precedent for this, hmm.
I wasn't recognizing the armor Sarisse is wearing. It's from the Mizutsune, a water monster from Monster Hunter Generation (I skipped that one).
We will have to wait for the Banner trailer to know if she will be available on the first one. I'm hyped by the Fatalis potentially being on the second banner too.
