How to Get
Dragon Memory is a random drop from clearing the DQ1 event Dragon boss match. Progress the DQ1 event story to unlock the Dragon strong enemy encounter, then clear the match and check your reward screen.
The DQ1 collaboration event runs through June 16, 2026. Do not plan to farm this Memory after the event ends unless it returns in a rerun. Prioritize it while you are already running the event for other rewards.
Best Uses
Lightning physical carry
Use Dragon Memory when your main damage dealer can turn lightning physical damage into faster clears.
Roto Sword style setup
The effect lines up well with accounts that already want a physical weapon route and can use lightning damage.
Yellow slot value
It is easiest to keep when your build has a yellow slot that wants physical damage support.
Event progression
The balanced stats and low cost make it a usable pickup while you are farming the DQ1 event anyway.
Should You Farm or Upgrade It?
Farm Dragon Memory naturally while clearing the DQ1 event Dragon boss match. It is not worth spending event stamina exclusively on this drop unless your build specifically needs a yellow physical Memory and you have already cleared the other event rewards you want.
Upgrade it only if your active build uses the lightning physical damage every day and the yellow slot fit is clean. If your account is moving toward shrine or gacha Memories, keep Dragon Memory as a low-cost event bridge Memory instead of spending scarce upgrade materials.
Closest Comparison
| Memory | Pick it when | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Memory | You want lightning physical damage and balanced stats from the DQ1 event | Best fit for physical accounts that can use yellow slots during the event |
| Proto Killer | You want wind physical damage and sturdier overall stats from a shrine | Better when your carry needs more HP and defense alongside damage, and the shrine is available |
| Akumashinkan | You want dark physical damage with higher attack and dexterity | Better when your account leans into dark physical and has access to the shrine |
