[[File:ZenithianEquipment.jpg|thumb|The Zenithian Equipment, as seen in Square Enix's [[Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery]] merchandise series.]]
The '''Zenithian Equipment''' (天空の装備, 伝説の武具) is a set of crucial items in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, {{Dragon Quest V}} and {{Dragon Quest VI}}. Only the legendary hero can equip them, and the story cannot advance until the entire set is obtained.

Each armament in the fourth and fifth game carry the Zenithian descriptor as part of their name, but in the sixth game each piece has its own distinct title.

==Zenithian armour==
==={{DQ4}}===
The '''Zenithian armour''' ('''てんくうのよろい''') is likely the first piece to be acquired by players. It is found in the cave north of the [[Medal King's Palace]]. In the original {{NES}} version it reduces breath attacks and spell damage by {{fraction|1|3}}, while in the remakes it raises resistance to [[Whack|instant death]] while reducing only spell damage (save for [[Zap]]) by {{fraction|1|3}}. In all versions it has a defence value of +70.
==={{DQ5}}===
The Zenithian armour is stored in a side room in the entrance to [[Crocodilopolis]], and the [[Ultimate Key]] is needed to retrieve it. When worn, it improves defence by 85 points, as well as reducing magic (save bang and zap) and breath damage by 30 points.

{{Descriptions
|DQ4=This armour will help reduce damage caused by magic.<ref name=remakes>From the remakes</ref>
|DQ5=This gallant garb can impede the impact of magic and ice-based attacks.
}}

==Zenithian helm==
[[Image:DQIV_Zenithian_Helm.png|right|thumb|The {{Hero 4}} wearing the Zenithian Helm.|200px]]
==={{DQ4}}===
The '''Zenithian helm''' ('''てんくうのかぶと''') is found in [[Canalot]], in its king's possession. He holds a competition stipulating that anyone who can make him laugh will win the Helm. The {{Party 4}} travels to [[Laissez Fayre]] to recruit comedian [[Tom Foolery]] to the cause, expecting him to unleash one of his funniest jokes on the king; instead, he delivers an impassioned speech about evil on the rise and then necessity of the Chosen to defeat it. The king is convinced and gives up the Helm. It increases the {{Hero 4}}'s defence by 30 in all versions, and cuts the accuracy of [[Fuddle]], [[Snooze]], and [[Paralysis]] to {{fraction|1|3}} in the remakes. In the original, it grants no such protection.

==={{DQ5}}===
The Zenithian helm is being kept in a vault at [[Helmunaptra]] by Queen Cleohatra, who is awaiting the arrival of the legendary hero. It improves defence by 50, but grants no resistance to status ailments.

{{Descriptions
|DQ4=This helm protects against [[Snooze]], [[Fuddle]] and paralysis.<ref name=remakes/>
|DQ5=None listed in game.
}}

==Zenithian shield==
==={{DQ4}}===
On a tip from a poet in Canalot, the party heads to [[Burland]], only to find that the king gave the '''Zenithian shield''' ('''てんくうのたて''') away to the queen of [[Femiscyra]] (a beautiful woman) many years ago in an effort to woo her. The chosen travel to the small kingdom east of Burland, but after being accused of robbery they are tasked with finding the real criminal if they want to clear their names. They successfully track down the [[Kirk Buzzer|real robber]], clear their names, and are rewarded with the shield for their hard work. The shield increases the Hero's defence by 55 and casts bounce when used as an item in battle. In the remakes, it reduces the power of breath attacks by 30 points.
==={{DQ5}}===
The shield came into the possession of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], who is willing to give it to any suitor that takes his daughter [[Nera]]'s hand in marriage. Regardless of whom ends up being chosen as the bride, though, Mr. Brisccoletti gives the hero the shield after becoming impressed with the man's caliber. It improves defence by 60 this time, reduces breath damage by 15 points, and casts [[Bounce]] when used in battle.

{{Descriptions
|DQ4=Can also be used as an item during battle.<ref name=remakes/>
|DQ5=Use during battle to cast Bounce on the user.
}}

==Zenithian sword==
==={{DQ4}}===
After acquiring the [[balloon]] and traveling to the [[World Tree (Dragon Quest IV)|World Tree]], they find a lost [[Zenithian]] named [[Orifiela]], who points them to the '''Zenithian sword''' ('''てんくうのつるぎ'''). It has a base power of 65 when first acquired. After speaking with the [[Zenith Dragon]], the ancient guardian will empower the sword to 110. Using it as an item in battle casts [[Disruptive Wave]].
==={{DQ5}}===
The sword was already located by [[Pankraz]] sometime before the start of the game. He left it in a cache in the [[Whealbrook Adit]], which his [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|son]] later recovered. The sword's power has not changed from the previous game, and it will still cast Disruptive Wave when used as an item.

{{Descriptions
|DQ4=A legendary sword, perhaps?.<ref>From the remakes after the Sword is found</ref> A legendary weapon, and a useful item during battle, too.<ref>From the remakes after the Sword is restored by the [[Zenith Dragon]]</ref>
|DQ5=Use during battle to neutralize all magic.
}}

==Zenithina Tintinnabulum==
<center>For more details, see [[Zenithian Tintinnabulum|the bell's page]]</center>
==={{DQ5}}===
The '''Zenithina Tuntinnabulum''' ('''てんくうのベル''') is an important item. This magical bell can be rang to summon the [[Zenith Dragon]] to carry the party across the world.

{{Descriptions
|DQ5=The peal of this bell carries all the way to Zenithia.
}}

==Armour of Orgo==
==={{DQ6}}===
[[File:Armour of Orgo.png|thumb|130px|The Armour of Orgo. Note the absence of draconic accents the armor is known for.]]
The '''Armour of Orgo''' ('''{{tt|オルゴーのよろい||orugō no yoroi}}''') is found under the ruins of [[Castle Graceskull]]. When donned, it reduces [[frizz]], [[sizz]], [[bang]], and fire breath by 35 points, restores 1HP for every 8 steps, and improves the hero's defence and style by +80 and +32. When reworked by the master at the [[Fashion Forge]], the armour's defence and style are raised to +100 and +80, respectively.

{{Descriptions
|DQ6=Restores some of the wearer's HP with each and every step. One of the four pieces of Legendary Equipment. Offers some protection against fire and ice attacks.
}}

==Helm of Sebath==
==={{DQ6}}===
The '''Helm of Sebath''' ('''{{tt|セバスのかぶと||sebasu no kabuto}}''') is bestowed to the party by the King of Somnia after his son reunites with his real world counterpart. It adds +45 defence and +24 style when first obtained, and +50 and +45 after visiting the Fashion Forge. In both cases it bestows high resistance to [[whack]] and other instant death attacks.

{{Descriptions
|DQ6=One of the four pieces of Legendary Equipment. Increases resistance to sudden death spells and abilities, among others.
}}

==Shield of Valora==
==={{DQ6}}===
The '''Shield of Valora''' ('''{{tt|スフィーダのたて|sufīda no tate}}''') is found in the [[Cryptic Catacombs]], which must be entered through an undersea grotto. When equipped, the shield reduces [[crack]] and freezing breath weapons by 30 points, casts [[Bound]] when used as an item, increases the hero's defence by +65, and improves his style by +35.

{{Descriptions
|DQ6=One of the four pieces of Legendary Equipment. Use during battle to put a shield in front of the user. This shield will deflect on spells before going away. Some protection against magic and ice-based attacks.
}}

==Sword of Ramias==
==={{DQ6}}===
The '''Sword of Ramias''' ('''{{tt|ラミアスのつるぎ|ramiasu no tsurugi}}''') is found in [[Everfrost]], but it has long since rusted. To restore it to its former glory, the party must enlist the help of Welda in [[Turnscote]]. When rusted the sword adds +63 to the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero's]] attack stat and +12 to his style, and +130 and +32 after Welda restores it. The sword can be further improved by visiting the Fashion Forge beneath the waves, which can raise the strength and style to +135 and +52 after the first reforging, and +145 and +70 after the final improvement. After being restored, the sword will deal bonus [[Zap]] damage after each attack, totaling to 50% of the damage deal before magic resistance is applied, as well as being able to cast [[Oomph]] when used in battle.

{{Descriptions
|DQ6=One of the four pieces of Legendary Equipment. Take this to the Fashion Forge to improve it's attack. Use in battle to cast the Oomph spell on a party member.
}}

==Trivia==
*Some versions of the Zenithian sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword (around the gold sphere on the hilt) read "mitibikaresi mono", which is an approximate romanization of "導かれし者 ''michibikareshi mono''", meaning "the guided one". This also resembles the Japanese subtitle for ''Dragon Quest IV'', "導かれし者たち ''michibikareshi monotachi''", literally "the people who are shown the way".
** The runes on the shield (around the two gold spheres) are difficult to translate, as they only appear in early low-resolution concept art, and later interpretations of the shield omit these runes entirely.

[[File:DQ Museum Erdrick Equipment.png|right|thumb|350px|Life-sized replica of the set built for the 30th anniversary museum in 2016]]
The '''Erdrick Equipment''' is a set of powerful and crucially important items from the original [[Erdrick trilogy|trilogy]] of games. The equipment consists of the sword, shield, armour and helmet belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].

In the first two games the items bear Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in {{Dragon Quest III}} each piece has a distinct name: the Sword of Kings, Auroral armor, and Hero's shield. No Helmet exclusive for the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added Ortega's helmet to fill in the gap.

==Erdrick's armour==
==={{DQ}}===
[[File:DQ_Hero_Erdricks_Armour.png|right|border|200px]]
Erdrick's armour is the most powerful piece of armour in the game, located in the ruined town of [[Damdara]] and guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant|knight aberrant]]. When equipped, it adds +28 to the player's [[List of character statistics#Defense|Defence]]; reduces magic and breath damage by 33%; nullifies the toxicity of bogs; and restores 1 HP for every step taken.

==={{DQ2}}===
The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Donning it grants +70 {{Defence}} this time, along with the expected 33% reduction to breath and magic and harsh terrain immunity but no longer recovers {{HP}} while walking. It may be equipped only by the {{Prince of Midenhall}}.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Hero's shield is used by the {{Hero Smash}} if the player selects the protagonist of the third game. A Mii Swordfighter can also carry the shield if they are using Erdrick's equipment.

==Erdrick's sword==
==={{DQ}}===
The legendary blade is found in [[Dragonlord's Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 {{Attack}}, a substantial boost from the [[Flame sword]]'s +28. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier.

{{Descriptions

==={{DQ2}}===
The sword is once again found in the [[Dragonlord's Castle]], left there by the previous {{Hero 1}}. Unlike the armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and the +40 {{Attack}} bonus means it will not be effective during the game's finale.

The sword can only be equipped by the {{Prince of Midenhall}} in the {{NES}}, while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the {{SFC}} and all ports of the remake after.

Whoever pre-ordered the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Version of the game in Japan obtained the code to download Erdrick's sword. In game, the sword must be reforged in the [[Alchemy Pot]] to reach its true potential. '''Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick''' became available to download for international players on February 24, 2017. It has an attack bonus of +20 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}}, as well as [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Red]] if they have enough skill points in Knives. After the sword has been reforged, '''Erdrick's sword''' has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120, being second to the [[Dragovian Equipment#Dragovian king sword|Dragovian king sword]] and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red.

==={{DQB2}}===
Erdrick's sword is the most powerful weapon, increasing the Builder's {{Attack}} by +118. It takes three orichalcum ingots, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one zenithium chunk, and one phial of silvery sludge.

==={{SSB5}}===
The Sword of Kings is the weapon the {{Hero Smash}} uses if the player selects the protagonist of the third game. It also appears as DLC for the Mii Swordfighter.

==Auroral armour==
==={{DQ3}}===
The '''Auroral armor''' ({{tt|ひかりのよろい|Hikari no yoroi}} ''Armor of Light'') is found in the third floor of the [[Tower of Rubiss]], the radiant suit of mail will add +85 (+75 in the original) to the {{Hero 3}}'s {{Defence}}, cuts breath/magic damage by 1/3rd, and recovers 1 {{HP}} per step.

==={{DQB}}===
The Auroral armour is available for to players in chapter 5, and requires three chunks of zenithium, two ingots of orichalcum, one gold ingot, one ruby, two pelts of fine fur, and a length of cord to assemble. It increases the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder's]] {{Defence}} by +30 and renders them immune to poison and lava.

==={{DQB2}}===
The armour increases {{Defence}} by +30 as before, but now requires three chunks of zenithium, two ingots of orichalcum, two gold ingots, and one ruby to forge.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Auroral Armour is an S-rank armor that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event by clearing Rubiss's Guidance on any difficulty. It has an {{Defense}} bonus of +20, can rarely raise the wearer's spell resistance on each turn and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.

==Ortega's helmet==
==={{DQ3}}===
'''Ortega's helmet''' ({{tt|オルテガのかぶと|Orutega no kabuto}}) is only available in the {{SFC}} Version and subsequent remakes, and originally belonged to [[Ortega]]. It is found in the village of [[Mur]] and can be sold for 6,150 [[gold]] coins. The helmet will add +30 {{Defence}}, but offer no protection against debilitating magic except in the {{GBC}} Version, where it will reduce the chance of being afflicted by [[Snooze]], [[Dazzle]], and [[Sap]] by 50%. This aspect was removed in the subsequent [[cell phone]] release due to being a port of the {{SFC}} version.

The helmet doesn't exist in the {{NES}} version. In its place is a novelty item called the [[water blaster]].

==Hero's shield==
==={{DQ3}}===
The '''Hero's shield''' ({{tt|ゆうしゃのたて|yūsha no tate}}) is located in the [[Nail Mark]] north by northwest of [[Tantegel]] castle. When equipped, it will boost the {{Hero 3}}'s {{Defence}} by +65, and reduce magic/breath damage by 33%. When both the shield and armour are equipped, the shield's reduction properties will take effect after the armour's.

==={{DQB}}===
The Hero's shield can be forged in chapter five of the game, and takes two chunks of zenithium, a gold ingot, one ruby, two steel ingots, and two blocks of wood to assemble. It increases the Builder's defence by +16 and has no special effects.

==={{DQB2}}===
The Hero's shield raises the Builder's {{Defence}} by +32, and requires two bits of zenithium, one ruby, one gold ingot, and two steel ingots to forge.

==Sword of Kings==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Legendary '''Sword of Kings''' ({{tt|おうじゃのけん|ōja no ken}}), since long before the events of {{Dragon Quest III}}, it is said that it took [[Zoma]] three years to sunder the blade in twain. Because of this, the player must first locate a piece of [[Orichalcum]] and a smith of godly skill in order to restore the weapon. Once reforged, the Sword of Kings will boost the {{Hero 3}}'s {{Attack by +120, and will deafen a group of enemies with an earth-shaking [[Kaswoosh|thunderclap]] when used as an item in battle.

==={{DQ11}}===
The Sword of Kings is available in the post-game. In [[Hotto]], there is a blacksmith that wishes to forge the sword, and needs Orichalcum to do so. Once given the material, the blacksmith starts forging the sword and asks the player to return later (one in-game day) for it. The Sword of Kings will then become available in the [[item shop]] and costs 35,000 [[gold]] coins. It has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120 and a {{Charm}} bonus of +32. It deals wind damage when used as an item. It cannot be upgraded.

The Sword of Kings is one of the ingredients needed to craft the Supreme Sword of Light.

==={{DQB}}===
The Sword of Kings is available in chapter 5 of the game, and requires three lumps of Orichalcum, two steel ingots, one gold ingot, one silver ingot, and a drop of magic dye. It increases the Builder's {{Attack}} by +50, and does not wear down with use like other weapons.

==={{DQB2}}===
The sword increases the Builder's {{Attack}} by +86, and requires three orichalcum ingots, one zenithium ingot, one gold ingot, and two silver ingots to forge.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Sword of Kings is an S-rank sword that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event by obtaining [[Orichalcum]] fragments through various challenges. It has an {{HP}} bonus of +30, an {{Attack}} bonus of +30, raises the physical potency of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 5% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.

==Miscellaneous==
===Sacred Amulet===
Exclusive to {{Dragon Quest III}}, the amulet is given to the {{Hero 3}} by [[Rubiss]] and will grant +30 {{Luck}}, along with ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[Kamikazee]].

===Erdrick's gauntlets===
As {{Dragon Quest IX}} has split armor into three categories, the gauntlets that originally came with the auroral armor have become their own equipment for the game.

==Trivia==
*The iconography of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to [[Ramia]], appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events.
*The overworld sprite of [[Ortega]] in the {{SFC}} Version shows him wearing a black helmet with a single strip of metal going vertically along the cranium, rather than the blue emblemized helmet seen in later sets of the Armor of Erdrick. This could imply that the helmet was modified after joining with the legendary gear.
*Some versions of the sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword read "Dragon Kuest", an approximation of ''Dragon Quest''. These runes first appeared on the sword in artwork for ''VIII''.
** The runes on the shield read "Roto", Erdrick's Japanese name. These runes first appeared on the shield in Famicon artwork.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

Boblers — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 04:04:03 GMT

Boblers: series navbox

'''Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai''' (インフィニティストラッシュドラゴンクエストダイの大冒険) is a console action videogame adapting [[The Adventure of Dai]]. It was originally announced alongside Xross Blade and A Hero's Bonds, as a "console game" to be released in 2021. However it was delayed citing graphical improvments. It is developed by [[Game Studio]] and [[KAI GRAPHICS]], and published by [[Square Enix]]. The game still doesn't have a release date, but it's set to release worldwide on Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC via Steam.

Unlike the other Dai games, Infinity Strash takes inspiration directly on the original manga, while the other games are inspired by the recent anime adaptation.

==Gameplay==
Infinity Strash is an action game in which the player can control characters from [[The Adventure of Dai]] and face off against foes.

The game has two mode:
* '''Story Mode''': a retelling of the classic manga storyline. This mode lets players experience the story of the manga up until the “Battle of Sovereign Rock Castle” arc. Players can run through fields while controlling the disciples of Avan and battle powerful enemies. This mode includes CGI scenes trying to recapture the feel of the 2020 anime.
* '''Temple of Memories''': an original dungeon which remixes enemies and mechanics each time the player enters the dungeon. Players can make certain choices during their time at the temple determine the kind of mechanics and enemies they might encounter.

There is a growth system called '''Bond Memories''' which allow players to equip mementos in order to increase their character's stats depending on the linked memory. Each memory shows an image from the original manga upon getting obtained.

{{ja|'''''Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds'''''|ドラゴンクエストダイの大冒険 -魂の絆-||lit. "Dragon Quest: The Great Adventure of Dai – Bonds of Souls"}} is an upcoming action role-playing game for Android and iOS devices. It was scheduled to be released on 28 September 2021, available in Japanese and English.

As an adaption of 2020 anime ''[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]'', the game contained two stories: the storyline "Dragon-Tracks" followed the anime's plot and cast, while "Bonding-Journey" featured a brand new story.

==Development==
A Hero's Bonds was originally announced on May 27th, 2020 as part of the "Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai project", a project to make a brand new anime and videogames based on the manga series. The 2020 Anime series, Xross Battle and Infinity Strash are the other parts of the project.

Square Enix started social media accounts in Japanese and English for the game around September 2020. On September 17, 2021, roughly ten days before the service started, they introduced Facebook accounts with French and Chinese support, the last two languages the game supports.

==Gameplay==
===Overview===
Players control two characters, the Leader of the Luminaries and a character from the ''Dai'' series, and have two additional characters as support units. Characters advance forward fighting hordes of enemies in three lanes. Players can autoattack, defend, freely change lanes, use skills which take some time to charge up, and swap between their two main party members.

There is multiplayer for up to three players.

There are 6 type of missions, divided in two categories: Story and Events. The three Story mission types are:
* ''Dragon Tracks'': "Delve into the memories of Dai and his loyal companions, and witness their tale unfold." A retelling of the story in [[Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds|Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]].
* ''Bonding Journey'': "Join Dai and his friends on their adventures in the world of Milladosia." Aside from experiencing a brand new story, players can unlock playable characters in this storymode.
* ''Character Quests'': "A new tale of bonding with Dai and friends." Players can learn more about the characters from Adventure of Dai that they have befriended. Players will need to spend time with their favorite characters in order to increase their bonding level and unlock more character quests.
The Events mission types are:
* ''Challenge Quests'': "Complete training quests to improve your skills." Instead of using stamina like all other quests, tickets are required to embark on these missions. These tickets are resetted each day.
* ''Event Quests'': "Experience a new story and complete quests to earn exclusive rewards." These quests are timed, only available for a limited time. See: [[List of events in A Hero's Bonds]].
* ''Hall of Perdition'': "A hall wreathed in mystery. Challenge super-powerful new enemies!" Players can challenge strong bosses to fights in order to earn Trophies and other rewards. Trophies can be equipped to increase the party's overall strength.

Starting on October 28, 2021, a ranked battle mode was added. In this mode players fight against bosses in order to achieve the highest scoring and rank among the best players.

===Stamina===
Stamina in this game is consumed when quests are completed, and it recovers at a rate of 1 stamina point every 6 minutes. The max stamina can be increased by completing story chapters in the several difficulties.

There are four additional ways of recovering stamina faster: visiting the player's alliance (guild), seeing an ad (two per day, each recovers 20 stamina points), stamina pottions (they recover either 30 or 60 stamina points, depending on the size of the potion), and using gems (full stamina refill for 50 gems). Stamina points can never go over 9999.

===Treasure Hunt===
Treasure hunt is the name doing gacha pulls recieves in this title. Each treasure hunt costs 300 gems per 1 item or 3000 per 10. Some special keys can be used for specific banners, getting 1 item per key.
Types of Treasure hunt:
* Equipment treasure hunt: costs 300 gems or 3000 gems (red or blue, blue are prioritized), and gives 1 (300 gems) or 10 (3000 gems) equipment pieces. They often contain 4★, 3★ and 2★ gear.
* Red gem only treasure hunt: they cost 3000 red gems per 10 equipment pieces, and guarantee one equipment piece of 4★.
* Soul hunt: same as the normal treasure, but they give [[List of soul crystals in A Hero's Bonds|soul crystals]] instead of gear.
* Video bonus treasure hunt: free treasure hunts that can provide upgrade materials, tickets, stamina potions and gems, if the player decides to watch an ad. Two per day.
* Normal treasure hunt: it's completely free, and can give several upgrade materials, tickets and 1★ and 2★ equipment.

==Story==
The game includes two intertwining stories: Dragon Tracks and Bonding Journey.
===Dragon-Tracks===
Dragon Tracks is a reteling of the story from the manga, but with the help of the Luminary Leader in all fights.
===Bonding-Journey===
Bonding Journey is a brand new story supervised by the original writter of the series, Riku Sanjo. Koji Inada, the original manga artist of the series, designed Pinky, a pink talking [[Dracky]] that assists the players through this adventure.
It takes place in the world of Milladosia, a parallel world to Dai's. The threat of Xevallo, the Lord of the Void and bond breaker, must be combated by the Luminary Leader and the friends they make in Dragon Tracks.

==Customization==
===Appearance===
The player can freely customize the [[Luminary Leader|main character]] at the beginning of the adventure or from the menu (Menu > Communication > Change Look). The options are:
* '''Hero type''': This affects the protagonist's gender. Two options: A and B.
* '''Hairstyle Shape''': A selection of 10 hairstyles per type to choose from.
* '''Hairstyle Colour 1''': The main color the hair will be. There are 20 options to choose from.
* '''Hairstyle Colour 2''': The color for details in the hair. There are 20 options to choose from.
* '''Face Type''': There are 4 options per body type. All of them have the Luminary Leader Crest on their forehead.
* '''Eye Colour''': This option affects the color of the character's irises. There are 20 options to choose from.
* '''Skin Tone''': This affects the character's skin. There are 8 tones to choose from.
* '''Voice''': This affects the voiced lines and grunts the character has. The are 3 options per type: Brave, Calm or Cute for Type A; and Brave, Calm or Clown for Type B.
===Vocations===
The main character is the only character that has access to the vocation system. The player can freely change vocations. The five vocations available are:
* '''Hero''': A well balanced vocation. What makes it unique is people on the Hero vocation can defend and their normal attacks usually only affect enemies on their lane. Heroes have a good variety of skills available, some of which can hit enemies on all three lanes. It's vocational trait raises the user's defenses.
* '''Warrior''': An offensive vocation. Instead of being able to defend, warriors can charge up more powerful attacks. Their regular attacks can hit enemies on all three lanes. Warriors are usually slower than Heroes, but their attack is higher and they are great for breaking the enemy defense. It's vocational trait enhances the user's Endurance.
* '''Mage''': A ranged magical vocation. Mages cannot defend either, but they can charge up their ranged attacks. Their normal attacks only affect enemies on their lane. Mages excel at elemental damage, particularly Fire and Light spells. They are also great for clearing enemy lines with some AoE spells such as Bang or Sizz. It's main vocation trait raises the user's Magical Attack.
* '''Priest''': A support vocation. Priests can defend just as heroes do, and their normal attack only affect enemies on their lane. Priests excel at healing and buffing allies, but they can also do AoE spells like Woosh. It's vocational trait raises the user's Recovery stat.
* '''Martial Artist''': An offensive vocation ideal for fighting lone warrior, added into the game in March of 2022. Martial Artists are physical fighters with high Attack, and can enter the Warrior Master State by building up their gauge by attaking enemies. This state boosts the user's critical rate for physical attacks, and makes them less likely to be staggered by enemy attacks. It's main vocational trait raises the user's Physical Critical Rate slightly.
* '''Sage''': A balanced vocation added into the game in August of 2022. Sages can use all the skills of priests, and their own too. They have two switchable states: Attack Mode, which raises Magical Attack by 50%; and Defence Mode, which raises Recovery by 50%.

===Equipment===
The player can equip, upgrade and evolve gear. The gear equipped on the main character will be reflected on their appearance. Equipping weapons allow characters to use skills related to the weapon type, for instance equipping Dai with a sword will allow him to use sword-restricted skills. Most gear give characters stats bonuses and/or other additional effects such as slight elemental resistance.

Gear can be upgraded with raw materials and other gear, and doing so increases it's stats and level. A max level weapon usually has much higher attack than a non-upgraded weapon of the same type.

Most pieces of equipment can be evolved using duplicates of the same equipment as materials. Evolving equipment raises the piece's maximum level and can upgrade traits.

There are 6 kinds of weapons: Swords, Spears, Axes, Claws, Wands, and Heavy Wands.
There are 10 kinds of armor: Shields, Large Shields, Armour (Top), Armour (Legs), Fighter Garb (Top), Fighter Garb (Legs), Outfit (Top), Outfit (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).
Each vocation can equip a subset of weapon and armor types:
* '''Hero''': Swords, Spear, Large Shields, Armour (Top), Armour (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).
* '''Warrior''': Swords, Axes, Large Shields, Armour (Top), Armour (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).
* '''Mage''': Heavy Wands, Shields, Outfits (Top), Outfits (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).
* '''Priest''': Wands, Shields, Outfits (Top), Outfits (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).
* '''Martial Artist''': Claws, Large Shields, Fighter Garb (Top), Fighter Garb (Legs), Clothes (Top), and Clothes (Legs).

It should be noted, however, that characters originally from The Adventure of Dai, can only equip one weapon type regardless of their vocation. For example, ''Crocodine (Vortex Axe)'' can only equip Axes despite being a Warrior type.
===Party===
The player has access to 10 parties to customize. Each party needs, at least the main character and one partner character, but can include two additional allies. The difference between allies and partners is that the player can swap between the main character and the partner during battle while the allies act on their own.

Players can also equip parties with a trophy, which increases the party's combat power and might grant special passive skills, like additional damage against specific enemy types. The trophies can be leveled up with duplicates, for improved traits.

Each character can equip one weapon, one armor top, one armor bottom and a shield, two normal skills and one special move. While characters from the same party can't share the same equipment or skills at a time, they can be shared between parties. The same applies to trophies.
