The all-new hero Zuriya will arrive soon for this weekend’s Dragon Strike event!

Live to Fight Another Day

Zuriya gripped the leather lashed around her poleaxe tightly. Her wounds were deep, but she’d live. She looked around her at the chaos. Friend and foe alike lay scattered — all still. Was she the only one left?

The forces of Malum had come out of nowhere. In such a remote outpost they’d stood little chance. Zuriya had survived, but she knew she wasn’t their objective. Still, her warriors had made them pay dearly for the ancient relics that they’d come to steal. Each had cut down dozens before falling. No Guardian could ask for a more honorable death.

How long had she been unconscious? Malum’s army would surely march to the castle to use their own ancestral weapons against them. Was she already too late?

Just then a strange feeling took hold of Zuriya. It began in her chest as a warm swell but quickly spread, pulsing outward through her arms.

A smile slowly spread across her face. “The Summoning Portal…” she mused to herself as blue lights flickered from her fingertips into a swirling pool growing on the ground. “Too late maybe, but perhaps there is yet hope.”

Straightening herself as best she could, Zuriya took a long look around the battlefield, still hoping to see some other survivors. She found none.

“To the next battle.” she sighed, jumping into the shimmering portal at her feet.

Red Dragon Slayer Hero: Zuriya

Zuriya has spent her whole life training for war… but always in pursuit of peace. Her true passion isn’t blood lust, but protecting and bolstering her allies. Her choice of weapon illustrates this perfectly. She’s capable of doing tremendous damage to dragons or enemy heroes, but she also is able to use her superior reach to create openings for allies to exploit.

Zuriya is a master of the Ability Mesmerize. Using a wide sweep of her axe, she deals a blow to all enemies simultaneously, charming foes and inspiring allies for a short duration. While under this effect allies will have increased Ability Speed and steal life from opponents with their attacks.

Zuriya will arrive on Thursday, August 10th for the next Dragon Strike event. Are you ready?

Dragon Slayers, Attack!

As usual with a new Hero, Zuriya will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Zuriya will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before her, Zuriya is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Zuriya could be a great help in this weekend’s Dragon Strike. Don’t miss this all-new hero!

Coming up next week is a Purple Tournament… What hero will be unveiled then?

A deadly foe waits in cover. Do you have the steady hand to be the next great sniper?

Greetings Pilots! Today we have the great honor of introducing a new tank into the arena. Usually, we’re here to tell you about a new rookie model, straight off the production line. Not today… this Tank may be new, but it is a stone-cold veteran through and through.

Today we welcome The Soldier to the arena. This Tank features the Sniper Rifle Weapon atop the heavy metal intimidation of the Tracks Body. Slap a helmet on top to keep that processor protected, and you’ve got a professional killer on your hands.

Sale Details

Unlike our recent Generation 2 Tank sales, the supply for these items will come out in one single wave next Tuesday.

These parts will hit the Spider Tanks Store on Tuesday, August 15th at 12pm PT.

As has been the case since the beginning of Generation 2, these Tank Parts will enter the store with a discount applied. As always, this discount may be modified or removed at any time, so don’t wait too long to recruit your Soldier!

The Sniper Rifle

The Sniper Rifle is a deadly Weapon from humanity’s brutal past. While warfare is a distant historical curiosity to us in these more civilized times, for most of humankind’s history we developed more and more fiendish ways to kill each other. Those days are gone, but we can celebrate humanity’s heritage of destruction in the arena!

The Sniper Rifle is based on an ancient Weapon of brilliant craftsmanship. We know from the historical records that the first of these weapons was likely developed by Assyrian nomads in the 7th century BCE, shortly after the discovery of gunpowder. While this model doesn’t use anything as archaic as gunpowder, you’ll still get that classic feel of an authentic rifle.

The Sniper Rifle isn’t for a Pilot with shaky hands. This Weapon requires extreme precision, but those who master its simple ballistics will find they can deliver death quickly from across the arena.

With high projectile speed and long distance, a well aimed sniper bullet can exploit even the smallest openings in enemy defenses. It doesn’t reload fast, but make your shots count and it won’t need to.

Tracks

This is not a play Tank. This is the real deal.

The entire idea of “Tanks” was first spawned in the early 17th century. During a colonial border conflict, the Empire of Japan created massive, rocket-powered mechanical suits to defeat the Republic of Russia in an unprecedented act of naval destruction.

Years later, this design would be perfected into large, vehicular personnel carriers on great tracks by engineers from the United States of Canada. These were both a weapon of war and the commuter vehicle of choice up until the outbreak of the First Surface War.

Like Nomad or Santa’s Slay, Tracks is not an omnidirectional Body. This means that it can only move forward and will turn its nose forward any time its momentum changes direction. Functionally, the biggest difference this causes for most Pilots is that Tracks can’t stop instantly just from cutting off propulsion. It will continue to crawl slightly in the direction of your movement.

This means that Tracks excels when it can continue moving, and will often benefit from sweeping motions like figure eights and loops, compared to other Tanks that can dodge by just strafing back and forth.

Notably, Tracks is MASSIVE. While it doesn’t boast the Armor of Titan, it certainly packs more Speed than that behemoth. It also will now hold the title of highest Energy Body among Tanks currently available in the arena. Even the high-Energy Nomad can’t compete with how fast Tracks can power up Abilities.

Soldier’s Helmet

A good soldier knows… protect your head!

Whether you’re shielding a central processing unit or a fleshy meat brain, what better way to make sure that nothing can splatter your thinking bits than with a thick hunk of carbon nanofiber composite!?

The Soldier’s Helmet gives you protection where you need it most, and can add quite a bit of durability for just a fantastically fashionable hat!

Ready… Aim…

Get fired up about The Soldier, because they’ll be infiltrating the arena next week! Will you take up the fight, or just be the Tank on the wrong end of the scope?

This won’t be the last new Tank to enter the arena. We’ll see you before too terribly long with a preview of the next model… as soon as we can solve a small spontaneous implosion issue in testing.

Until we’re back, stay hidden from those snipers. We wish you straight shooting and good fortune in the battles to come!

The legendary Hero Aurum has made his debut in Dragon Strike as a special, gilded gift to all Gala Gold members!

Are you ready to take on the competition? What if you were equipped with some extra bling!?

We think Gala Gold is ready. That’s exactly why we’re sending out the legendary Hero Aurum to everyone in the Gala Gold club. This hero is wearing our favorite color, and comes with the all new Molten Gilding Skill. Melt one opponent down with intense single target damage, then apply a four turn burn. This way they think twice before they tangle with a hero this shiny again!

Solid Gold

All Gala Gold members can now head to the marketplace within Dragon Strike: Puzzle RPG to claim a special bonus– including Aurum! Players must have their in-game account connected to their Gala Account with a Gold membership to claim this reward. This won’t be an NFT version of this Hero… but don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

This package for Gala Gold members also includes one free Scroll of Minting. This way if you max out your Aurum’s level, it’ll be a breeze to turn him into a shiny new NFT. The package will also include an in-game Avatar so everybody will know just how Gold you are!

You’ll need to have a Dragon Strike Account with a linked Gala Games Account to get in on this Gala Gold perk. If you’re part of the Gold crew but haven’t played Dragon Strike yet… what are you waiting for!? Get in here and have some fun!
