Slash of the Dragoon is a new puzzle RPG for the iOS and Android. The gameplay is fairly similar to Puzzle and Dragons, except that instead of having to do a match-three puzzle, you have to slash and slice by doing various swiping maneuvers on shapes in order to deal damage to enemies. It contains plenty of the card collection elements that P+D is known for, though, as well as a wide variety of stages and difficulty levels. Read on for some tips and tricks for Slash of the Dragoon!
Before battle, whenever you pick leaders, you earn 5 friend points for a stranger’s leader, 10 for a friend’s leader, and 15 for a social network friend’s leader. This means that you are likely to find people posting their social networking info all around (comment sections, App Store review pages, Facebook pages for the game etc). If you don’t have any friends who play the game, go look around there, or post your own info at one of these sources to get people to add you.
To make your leader card more enticing to other players, put your rarest card as the leader, and do lots of enhancement to that card to increase its level. Players are more likely to pick the rarest and highest leveled card that pops up, and each time they pick yours, you will earn both friend points and friend requests from other players.
Certain stages tend to have more monsters of one element than the others. Fire beats plant, plant beats water, water beats fire, and dark and light beat each other – something to keep in mind when playing stages. Send in more of one type in order to have an easier time when you know the enemies that pop up on a stage, and if you know that they are predominantly of one element.
If you don’t like the crystal colors that you start with in a battle, swipe to the side as there’s an unlimited amount of crystals that you can scroll through. This is especially useful for if you are fighting with one single element, or just two elements, since you will end up with lots of useless crystals.
Currently, there is a game help menu under the “Help” screen in the menu, but the whole thing is in Japanese. You can copy it from inside of the game though by highlighting it and clicking “copy”, so take it over to Google Translate or some other translation site and you’ll be able to read the contents of it.
