Quick Answer
Equipment Priority Table
| Priority | Equipment | Rating | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | Dragon Killer | SS tier | 3-star fire-attribute claw with dragon-slayer adventure skills. High-multiplier 5-gauge special deals 400% damage (480% vs dragon-type enemies). Fire pebble adventure skills excel in Dragon Ruins and against dragon-type strong enemies. |
| Bonus | Dragon Helm (helmet) | A (armor) | Fire damage + bonuses, dragon-type damage bonuses, and physical damage boosts. Best helmet for fire builds in this banner. |
| Bonus | Dragon Mail Top (upper body) | A (armor) | Fire/physical damage bonuses and dragon-type resistance. Strong body armor for survival. |
| Bonus | Dragon Mail Bottom (lower body) | A (armor) | Fire/physical damage bonuses and dragon-type resistance. Completes the set bonus direction. |
The weapon is the only piece that justifies deep gem spending. Armor is nice-to-have; do not chase armor at the cost of your gem plan.

New 3-star fire-attribute claw with dragon-slayer special
When to pull
- Your account lacks Dragon Killer and wants a fire claw carry.
- You need dragon-slayer coverage for Dragon Ruins and dragon-type strong enemies.
- You are rerolling and want a premium dragon-slayer option with top-tier SS power.
- You prefer claw-friendly vocations and want a specialist weapon for dragon content.
When to save
- You already own Dragon Killer.
- Your gems are committed to another currently visible banner that better fits your missing role.
- You already have strong fire coverage from Roto Sword or another source.
- You do not need dragon-slayer specialization for your current content.
Where it shines
Dragon Killer performs best in Dragon Ruins, against dragon-type strong enemies, and when you hold 4 or more arrow-type adventure skills, which expand the special’s attack range. Its high-multiplier dragon-slayer special excels in dragon-focused content, while the fire pebble adventure skills provide strong mob clear. The 5-gauge cost is higher than some alternatives, but the damage output against dragon-type targets is exceptional.
Stop Line
| Stop line | Use it when | Stop after |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | You need a top-tier SS fire claw or dragon-slayer specialist | Dragon Killer appears |
| Comfortable | You want the weapon + useful armor | Weapon + 1-2 armor pieces appear |
| Full coverage | You are a collector with a high gem ceiling | Weapon + useful armor pieces, with a hard ceiling |
| Free pulls only | You already have the weapon and low gems | All free tickets and vouchers are used |
Do not convert one stop line into the next mid-session. If you hit your target weapon, stop and play. Armor alone is not worth chasing.
Reroll Value
| Reroll target | Keep or reset? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Killer | Strong keep | Top-tier SS weapon, best fire claw, excellent for Dragon Ruins and dragon-type strong enemies |
| Dragon Killer + any useful armor | Strong keep | You have a carry and bonus survival gear |
| Only armor pieces | Usually reset | Armor does not replace a carry weapon for early account direction |
| No strong 3-star weapon | Reset if the account is fresh | A weak start is easier to reroll than to rescue |
Dragon Killer is a premium dragon-slayer option. Choose it if you prefer claw vocations or want dragon-slayer specialization. If you want ice spear or lightning whip instead, compare those currently visible banners first.

FAQ
Should I pull on the Dragon Killer banner?
Consider it if your account needs a fire claw, dragon-slayer coverage, or a strong specialist weapon for Dragon Ruins and dragon-type strong enemies. Dragon Killer is top-tier SS and a premium dragon-slayer option. If you need lightning whip instead, look at Calberobeute; if you need ice spear, look at Blue Steel Machine Lance.
Is Dragon Killer the best weapon in the banner?
Yes. Dragon Killer is the only jackpot prize in this banner. It is rated top-tier SS with a high-multiplier dragon-slayer special and fire pebble adventure skills. It is not automatically the best choice across every active banner; pick by the role your account needs.
Should I chase the Dragon Killer armor set?
No. The armor pieces are useful but secondary. They provide fire and physical damage bonuses, but they are not worth deep pulling for. Treat matching armor as a bonus if it appears while pulling for the weapon.
Is Dragon Killer worth pulling as a new player?
Consider it if you want a fire claw or dragon-slayer specialist. Dragon Killer is top-tier SS and a premium dragon-slayer option, and a safe reroll stop for players who prefer claw vocations or dragon-type content. If you want ice spear or lightning whip instead, check those banners first.
Where do I get free Dragon Killer banner tickets?
Exchange 20 tickets via event omamori stones in the Wandering Merchant event shop, earn 10 tickets from cumulative points in the Lizardman strong enemy match, and earn 10 tickets from cumulative points in the Sky Dragon Army multiplayer match, for 40 free tickets total.
How does Dragon Killer compare to Blue Steel Machine Lance?
Both are top-tier SS weapons that solve different jobs. Dragon Killer is a premium fire claw and dragon-slayer option. Blue Steel Machine Lance is a high-value ice spear option with turret and arrow skills. If you can only choose one, pick the role your account needs rather than a fixed global order.
