Player next steps
DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow
What to do next
Clear the live event work, make one banner decision, stop rerolling when the account is playable, then follow a beginner path. Guides and tier lists sit under that order so you spend pulls and materials on the right thing.
Start here
Best next step for your account
Use one path top to bottom. Event rewards and free tickets change how hard you should pull; banner priorities decide keep-or-spend; reroll and tier pages tell you when to stop and build.
Quick answer
Start with the current event checklist so Summer 2026 tasks and DQ6 Chapter 6 free tickets are not left sitting. Push the SmashGrow Summer 2026 event (Marine Slime, Watermelon Defense multi, watermelon cooking, Swimsuit '26 banner), then the DQ6 event route, unlock Duran after the Chapter 4 epilogue, the Destamoor Shrine after the Chapter 5 epilogue, and the Destamua Annihilation Battle after the Chapter 6 epilogue, and farm limited Memories such as Duran Memory while the window is open. Use the memories tier list for the live Destamoor, Destamua, and Summer 2026 farm notes. Then open the current banner guide: Swimsuit '26 Series is up from August 18 with Sea Storm Staff (wind staff), and Barbara Series is up from July 21 with Calberobeute (lightning whip). Match the banner still on your screen to what you lack: wind staff, lightning whip, ice spear, fire claw, light sword, or metal farming. Once the account can play, stop the reroll loop with the reroll guide and weapons tier list, then run the beginner guide.
- Finish the current event checklist Push Summer 2026 and DQ6 Chapter 6, unlock the Destamua Annihilation Battle, claim tickets, limited Memories, and anything time-gated before spending gems.
- Clear the Summer 2026 route Run Marine Slime for tickets, cook watermelon dishes for event skills, run the Watermelon Defense multi quest for the Masked Great-Hammer Memory, and spend Watermelon Seeds on limited value first.
- Clear the DQ6 route map Unlock Duran after the Chapter 4 epilogue, keep Mudo and Bradipo checks while open, and spend DQ6 Gold on limited value first.
- Make one banner decision Sea Storm Staff if you need wind staff; Calberobeute if you need lightning whip; Blue Steel Machine Lance or Dragon Killer only if those banners are still up and match your plan; Metal Series for farming, Lamiass for light sword, skip ended Princess/Ryuuou.
- Stop or keep the reroll Use the stop rules with the weapons tier list once you have a clear carry weapon.
- Run the beginner path Push story, Adventure Rank, and one three-role team instead of spreading materials.
- Align Memories after the team is set Use the Memory rankings and live limited drops such as Duran Memory when you are ready to fill slots, not before the weapon plan is clear.
