Puzzle & Dragons X details – game features, monsters, more
Puzzle & Dragons X’s Japanese launch is fast approaching, and Famitsu published another feature on the title this week. The latest coverage includes details on game features, monsters, and more.
Here’s the rundown:
New game features
1. Cross Drop
When you remove drops in a combo of seven or more, a sparkling Cross Drop will appear on-screen. If you remove this drop, it will trigger a Cross Attack which deals more damage to enemy than usual.
2. City Facilities
– Talk to Multi-G to access local co-op multiplayer. Cross-version multiplayer is also possible.
– In the Dragoza Communications Place, you can trade monsters and guild cards with friends, and also receive presents.
– In the Monster Lab, you can strengthen and evolve monsters, or sell away monsters you don’t need. Strengthening is done by merging the monster with other monsters. Once the monster reaches max level, it can be merged with certain ingredients to make it evolve.
3. Ultimate Evolution
The three starter monsters each have a fourth, Ultimate Evolution… that’s still shrouded in silhouettes for now.
4. Details of six Tamazo Armor
– Tamazo x Izanagi, skill: Breath of Creation: Deals damage of Attack Power x 30 to an enemy. Doubles Divine type attack damage for a turn
– Tamazo x Lucifer, skill: Command of Angel: HP gets reduced to 1, but deals Dark element damage of Attack Power x 100 to an enemy
