I’ve had 3 days of disappointment, with hundreds more on their way.  
It would be easier, if we were given a tiny amount of dragonite for “imperfect” runs.

P. S. Imagine, how angry people will be after they start receiving duplicates of dragons.

Look the bright side. Double copies ? You have +4 magic stat when you matching mana of that specific color!  
Even +6 if you have triple copies of a specific Dragon Boss. 😅

Good, that we have people, who already have done the math at day one 😉

Sorry, couldn’t resist to people who are not able to read what has already been posted. At least your math is correct. GZ 😉

Can someone give me a straightforward answer to how I’m supposed to be doing the new dungeons? Do I open a door, hope for an enemy, and kill it? Do I open ALL the doors and hope for no traps? Do I open them all in hopes for descending stairs? Do I open until I find just the troops? What do I do…

**Just hope to kill the 3 bosses before you found any trap.**  
A boon is neutral.  
You still need to kill 3 bosses before you found any trap.

The examples to get Dragonite

- 1 boon, 2 boss, 3 boss, 4 boss \> you get perfect run
- 1 boss, 2 boss, 3 boss \> you got perfect run
- 1 boss, 2 boss, 3 boon, 4 boss \> you got perfect run
- 1 boss, 2 boon, 3 boss, 4 boss \> you got perfect run

> We have made an update to the Dungeon to make it feel more like players are exploring a dungeon, and adding new ways for players to interact with it.
> 
> - The Dungeon Menu has had an update to have 2 tabs in the Menu. One for the main dungeon, and one for the new Dungeon Shop (see below).
> - Dungeons now have a Level that affects the difficulty of the Dungeon. The Dungeon Level can never go below 1 and can never be higher than 20.
> - Dungeon Level will also affect the rewards that can be earned in the Dungeon, so completing Dungeons on harder difficulties will give more rewards.
> - Shards +1 per level
> - Jewels +1 per level
> - Diamonds +1 per 10 levels
> - The Megaboss gives double rewards
> 
> - Players will have 6 Dungeon doors to pick from, behind each door is either a Battle, Trap or Boon Room. Each Dungeon will have 3 Battle Rooms, 2 Traps, and 1 Boon Room.
> - Battles are the same battles that players encountered before with the exception of the final Boss for the Dungeon. We have added 7 new Dungeon Bosses for players to encounter, one for each Day.
> - These new Dungeon Bosses are Gem Dragon Mythic bosses, each themed to their Dungeon.
> - Players can now fight Dungeon Battles in any order once they encounter them in the Dungeon. (E.g. If the Player finds the Battle against the Gem Dragon, they can fight that before they do any other battles).
> - Traps will apply debuffs to the player in any future Battle in the dungeon for that day. Trap effects are reset daily, so Traps will not affect the following day.
> - If Players manage to defeat all 3 Battles without encountering a Trap, they will earn a Perfect Run which will earn them Dragonite, a new resource that can be used in the Soulforge.
> - Boon Rooms are 1 of 3 types of Rooms – Altar, Treasure or Stairs.
> - Altars are the reverse of Traps, and will grant a buff to Ally Troops in all future Battles for that day. Like Traps, Altars will only apply for that day, and are lost when Daily Reset occurs.
> - Treasures will give bonus Jewels for that day’s Dungeon. (e.g. A Treasure Room in the Dungeon of Fire will give Rubies).
> - Stairs can either go up or down. Stairs that go up will lower the Dungeon’s Level, while Stairs that go down will increase the Dungeon’s level.
> - Players can choose whether they wish to use the Stairs to change their Dungeon Level or if they want to stay on the same Dungeon Level.
> - If the player uses the Stairs the new Dungeon Level will apply to any unfought battles, and Treasures that have not yet been encountered.

Everything is explained here in detail.

You can open as much doors as you want and you are also able to not do the battles if you don’t want to.  
Stairs are showing you one direction and you (should) be able to agree to go that direction or not.  
Once opened a trap, you won’t get Dragonite that day unless you already got it.

So in short:

- Open door x
- If battle \> do battle \> open next door
- If boon \> open next door
- If trap \> open next door
- procced till last battle has occoured

If no trap has been openend and you won 3 battles \> receive 80+ Dragonite depending on your dungeon level.

What an absolute terrible idea, any other way to get dragonite ???. 300 Gems for 60 that’s a LOT of GEMS to use for all the new troops & Weaps. B/C I sure as hell have not had success yet w/ a perfect run. You need 1k or 500 Dragonite to craft each one of them.

Not a fan at all.

For odds, the boon door basically doesn’t matter because you simply choose again. =\> Odds of succeeding are 3/5 on first, 2/4 on second, 1/3 at the end.  
3/5 \* 2/4 \* 1/3 = 1/10

10% to start.  
16.7% after 1 boss door.  
33.3% after 2 boss doors.

yes, you can skip the battles, but i would still open the rest of all remaining rooms after i openend a trap to get some jewels or better some descending stairs, guess you meant that by saying “just skip the battles”

Personal preference.

You could open door 1 and if boss, fight. If no boss, continue.

Or you could keep opening doors until you’ve found all 3 bosses, then fight.

Option one may let you fight bosses with no traps triggered but you could lose out on boons.

If you open a boon first, I’d fight every battle directly as there is only one boon. Or better put it that way: one you found a boon, at least one boss, and no trap: fight

But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter all that much. 😅

Honestly, IF I found all 3 fights on my first 3 tries (which will probably happen when Judas is passing out ice skates in Hell), my attitude would be “The Hell with the boon, I want Dragonite”.

I don’t have the needed level of math skills either, but the logic checks out. Outside of any “runs” you would hover around whatever level the last run left you.

If you manage 3 bosses off the bat, you can open doors after the fights, and look for descending stairs.

Fun fact: Here’s the total breakdown of runs:

- 10% = Perfect Run (all bosses beaten without discovering any traps)
- 30% = Single trap discovered (prior to 3rd boss)
- 60% = Both traps discovered (prior to 3rd boss)

(This can be verified against RootsSeed’s breakdown of all 60 unique sequences, above)

So yeah, expect that a majority of your runs WILL end in finding both traps before you’ve found all bosses. That’s just how luck goes.

If you really can’t handle the word “shit” that I used to describe how I feel that the situation is, I don’t know how you manage to get through this life. But I neither care nor is it my problem/situation to handle.

I found it to be the perfect word to describe the situation. It appears some other people concur.

“sorry” if the word “shit” offended you.
