Front Mission Evolved game guide FAQ

Front Mission Evolved ,Hallo every one this walthrough is help all

Characters
Dart
The hero of the game. He is of the Fire element. Well-balanced stats. Dart
is a 23 year old with a tragic past. He is skillful with a sword and is a
very charismatic person. He loves Shana though he denies it early in the
game. His combos range from slow and easy to fast and furious.

Shana
A cheerful and beautiful young woman and childhood friend of Dart. She is of
the Holy element. She is skilled in the use of a bow and does not use
Additional Combos. She has deep feelings for Dart and tries all out to get
his attention. She has a horrifying destiny and only Dart can save her from
it.

Ravits
A brave knight. He is of the Wind element. He uses a spear incredibly well.
He and Dart meet when Dart helped him in the prison. Together they break
Shana out and cause one hell of a ruckus. He and Dart soon become good
friends. His combos are of medium to fast in speed.

Ros’e
A mysterious and quiet woman with a past that links her somehow to Dart and
his father. She is of the Dark element. She uses a sword to slash her
enemies at great speeds. She seldom speaks much but eventually opens up to
Dart and the rest later in the game. She joins after reawakening Dart’s
Dragoon stone when he was in trouble. Her combos are fast and furious.

Harsou
An old but strong man. He is of the Thunder element. He is a martial arts
master who uses his fists to pummel his opponents with great strength. He
joins Dart after the Fighting Tournament. His combos range from slow to fast
and tricky.

Alberto
A honorable young king. He is of the Wind element. Like Ravits, he uses a
spear with great ease. He joins after Dart and gang rescue him from Prison.
He takes over Ravits place in the game. His combos are the same as Ravit’s

Mailo
A charming and cheerful girl. She is of the Water element. She uses a hammer
which seems WAY to heavy for her. She joins Dart and gang to rescue a friend
and also help Dart retrieve his Dragoon stone. She likes to flirt with Dart
and butt in on Dart and Shana’s budding romance with humorous results. She
is one of the few remaining of the race of winged humans. Her combos are
super fast! She’s cute too!

Kongol
A strong Giant. He is of the Earth element. He uses a gigantic ax to floor
his opponents. Dart faces Kongol in battle twice before he and Ros’e finally
knock some sense into him. He joins after he saves Dart and company from
falling debris. His combos are slow to medium in terms of speed.

Leenus
A blonde and strong woman. She is of the Holy element. She uses a bow with
great skill. She is a loyal companion. She is very assertive and tomboyish
especially when she pummels the Captain of the Guard for screwing up. Her
father disappeared when she was young and her mother disappeared when she
set out to look for him. She takes over Shana’s place when she falls ill
again. She does not have Additional Combos.

1. REPLACEMENT CHARACTER INFO
   2 of the playable characters will be replaced by other characters in Legend
   of Dragoon due to the story’s plot. Ravits will be replaced by Alberto in
   Disc 1. Shana will be replaced by Leenus in Disc 3. The stats, skills,
   experience, Dragoon level and equipment will all be carried over to the
   replacement characters. So, it is still a priority to train both Ravits and
   Shana!

2. CHARACTER STRATEGY
   Players get to use a total of 7 characters till the end of the game. To
   ensure that these 7 characters are used to their full potential, I have
   written up this Character Strategy section to give some tips in using the 7
   characters in battle.

Dart
Dart is the main character and is also the most used character in the game.
He has balanced stats and is both good on offense and defense. To make full
use of him, it is advised to learn all his Combos. His first few Combos
allow you to get by in the first few parts of the game. Equip him with the
best sword you can find/buy as you’ll want his attack power to be as high as
possible. Have him attack as much as possible and heal only when necessary.
He becomes a real powerhouse if you equip him with the Legend Armor and
Helm! He has average speed so his attack rounds will come occasionally. Take
note that his last 2 combos are learnt only after you master all the
previous Additional Combos. His final Combo is the most useful, so try to
master it! His Dragoon utilizes Fire based attacks, so he is useful against
Water-based enemies. His Fire Strike is his most useful spell for long Boss
fights!

Ravits/Alberto
He is a strong character with good physical attacks and defense but low
magic attack power and defense. His Combos are quite good but require some
tricky timing to master. His last 3 Combos are very useful so master them!
He is slow in battle, so make sure you pull off all his combos successfully
to make the most of him! Being of the Wind Element, his spells target
multiple targets. His Wind Barrier is useful in early Boss fights. Use Wind
Blast or Combo attacks for the stronger Bosses in the later part of the
game.

Shana/Leenus
Simply said, her physical attack and defense are low. Her high magic power
and defense however should make up for it. She is the only character unable
to use Combos but that doesn’t mean she’s useless! Her normal attack may not
deal much damage, but she recovers a lot of SP with each shot, so she’ll
probably be the quickest to transform. She is very important in long Boss
battles as she is the ONLY character that has a spell to revive fallen
characters! Her Angel Voice spell can be said to be the most important spell
in the game! Build her Dragoon Level as high as possible as quickly as you
can as you’ll use her a lot in the later parts of the game due to her
healing powers. Due to her low physical attributes, it’s imperative that you
equip her with the most powerful armor and weapon you can find since you
can’t use magic all the time! Use her Dragoon form only if your characters
require healing. In the later part of the game, her Dragoon form will be the
most used in battle since she can recover a lot of SP quickly due to her
fast speed and the fact that she recovers a reasonable amount of SP each
turn.

Ros’e
She is a good character to use on the offensive due to her high attack power
and speed. Her first few Combos are short and easy but deal a good amount of
damage early in the game. Her later Combos are much longer and harder to
execute but the damage dealt makes it all worthwhile. The only drawback of
Ros’e is her low HP and defense, and the fact that a lot of Bosses and
enemies in the later parts of the game are also of the Dark Element type.
Her weapons and armor keep her going, so upgrade often! Her Dragoon may not
be useful on many enemies but her spells are still good. Her Life Drain is
useful and cheap to cast and will probably be her most used spell in Boss
battles. Use her Black Dragon spell on Bosses that are not of the Dark
Element, if you had raised her levels high enough, her spells and Combo
attacks will really hit HARD!

Mailo
All I’ll say is that she is the fastest character in the game. Her physical
attacks, HP and defense are low. Her magic is good though. You may think
that because of her low physical attack power she wouldn’t do much damage.
Train her levels high enough and master her last few Combos and you’ll think
differently! Her final Combo does 600% damage at max level! Her high speed
allows her to attack a lot of times in battle, making her quite useful. Her
Dragoon Spells are good and her Healing Rain heals a good amount of HP.
Mailo’s greatest asset is her speed, so use it to your advantage. Note that
her Combos are all very fast and tricky, so be patient and try to get the
rhythm of her Combos correct, it’ll make mastering them easier.

Harsou
Martial artists like him have good physical attack and defense. He is
slightly faster than Dart and his Combos are quite useful but tricky. His
Dragoon is good, spells are mostly single hitting but are very strong. Use
Combo attacks for later Boss fights as they seem more useful and damaging.
Try to master his final Combo. Harsou is a powerful character at a high
level!

Kongol
Pain is what this guy is all about. He has incredibly high physical attack
and defensive power and lots of HP. The problem is, he has the speed of a
lethargic slug. His defense and high HP will allow him to endure severe
punishment until his next turn. Buy armor with high magic defense power for
him or else he will be reduced to a pile of ash from some of the spells of
the last few Bosses. His Combos are all short and easy and will allow him to
dish out major damage! To use him more effectively, equip him with a Thief’s
Boots or Ring to increase his speed! You’ll then have fast slugger that’ll
really make monsters scatter! He only has 3 spells, most of them are good
were it not a fact that his magic attack power is low. His Dragoon is the
hardest to train, so be warned!

In conclusion, try to get used to the specific strengths and weaknesses of
each of the characters and master their Combos. Train all of them to high
levels before entering the Final Dungeon as they will have to face a Boss
alone! So they’ll have to be strong. Do not leave any of your characters
idle. You’ll need a well-balanced party to make it through the game with
ease.

1. ELEMENTAL TYPES
   There are basically 7 basic Elements in the game, namely: Fire, Water,
   Earth, Wind, Holy, Dark and Thunder and 1 Non-Element, Void. Double damage
   is dealt when an enemy is hit with an opposing element. Damage is halved if
   and enemy is hit with the same element type. Normal damage is dealt if the
   enemy is hit with and elemental attack that it is neither strong or weak
   against. The following show which element is strong against which.

2. Fire/Water, Water/Fire

3. Holy/Dark, Dark/Holy

4. Thunder/Wind/Earth, Earth/Thunder

5. Void/All Elements

6. ELEMENT COLORS
   The colors of each Element Type are shown in the name bars of enemies and
   characters, here is how to identify them:
   Fire- Red
   Water- Blue
   Holy- Yellow
   Dark- Very Dark Purple
   Thunder- Purple
   Wind- Green
   Earth- Orange Brown
   Void- Black

7. ADDITIONAL COMBO SYSTEM (ACS)
   The ACS is a system where you have to use great concentration and precise
   timing to pull off successfully. The pressing of the O button when the lines
   enter the grid will allow the continuation of the Combo. Failing to do so
   will mean your Combo ending pre-maturely and dealing less damage. A Yellow
   flash indicates you were too slow in pressing the button and a slight White
   flash indicates you were too early in pressing the button. There is a chance
   that the enemy will counter during certain Combos, in this case the grid
   will flash in Blue and you will have to press the X button at the right time
   to continue your Combo and prevent taking damage! Combos level up after
   every 20 successful executions, meaning you’ll have to complete the combo to
   gain 1 EXP. There are altogether 5 levels of mastery. With each level up
   increasing the amount of SP gained and the damage percentage of the Combo.
   It is imperative that you master all the Combos of all characters to make
   battles shorter and easier. The advanced combos are insanely complicated and
   sometimes FAST, so be warned! These advanced combos are usually the last few
   your characters will learn and can ONLY be unlocked after you have mastered
   all other combos beforehand. This combos are worth it though, dealing up to
   450% to 600% damage! The beginning few combos are gained at certain
   character levels.

8. DRAGOON SYSTEM
   For characters to transform into Dragoons, you must first find their
   respective Dragoon Stones. The Dragoon system allows the use of Dragoon
   Magic and an all new Dragoon Combo system. The Dragoon Combo System
   consists of a large circle with a mark at the top. The objective is to press
   the O button at the exact time a glowing orb hits the mark for one
   successive hit for a total of five or less in Kongol’s case. To transform,
   you will need a minimum of 100SP for 1 Dragoon Level. Dragoon Stones gain
   EXP to level up, but ONLY if the owner participates in battle! There are a
   total of 5 levels for each Dragoon Stone, with each level increasing the
   total percentage the character’s stats will increase upon transformation,
   learning a new spell, gaining more MP and increasing the allowable storage
   of SP by 100. 100SP is used up during the Dragoon form when the character
   attacks or uses magic, when all SP is depleted, the character reverts to
   normal. The higher your Dragoon Level and the more SP stored will allow for
   more turns in Dragoon form. There is a Special command in the game. To
   unlock it, all 3 characters participating in battle must have their
   respective Dragoon Stones. Max out all their SP bars, you can tell when the
   SP bars flash. A new command will then appear in the shape of a “yinyang”
   symbol. Select this to have all characters transform at the same time and
   have all characters and enemies transported to an elemental battlefield. The
   elemental battlefield is determined by the character who selected the
   Special Command, if Dart led the transformation, you will transport to the
   Fire elemental battlefield. The elemental battlefield bestows benefits on
   the Dragoon with the same element as the field. For example, Dart chooses to
   attack, instead of the Dragoon Combo orb appearing, Dart’s combo is
   automatically executed at max damage! Magic spells with the same element as
   the field also tend to be more successful. Note that in Dragoon form, the
   character can only choose to attack or use magic and is unable to defend,
   use items or escape unless he/she reverts back to normal.

9. DRAGOON STONE LOCATIONS
   Fire- Disc 1, Dart starts with it. Can be used after 1st battle against
   Kongol.

   Wind- Disc 1, Defeat Emerald Fang Dragon boss.
   Holy- Disc 1, received at Holy Shrine, used to heal Shana from illness.

   Water- Disc 2, Defeat Sea Dragon boss.
   Earth- Disc 3/4, bought from street merchant at Town with Fighting
   Tournament.
   Void- Disc 4, receive before final battle.

10. ITEM MAGIC USE
    You may be wondering, if you can only cast spells in Dragoon form how would
    you be able to use elemental magic when not in Dragoon form or when you are
    out of MP? In comes magic items. Magic items can be bought, found or dropped
    by enemies. You use them like items for a one time only blast of elemental
    mayhem. Some of this items allow the player to boost them up by rapidly
    pummeling the O button just like the GF Boost in FF8. More powerful spells
    cost a bomb or are harder to find.

11. DRAGOON MAGICS
    Magic spells can be used by Dragoons with the expansion of MP. Here is the
    list of spells learned by the character’s Dragoon Stones, the levels at
    which they are learnt and their effects, the name translations may not be
    accurate as I have exactly no clue on how to properly translate Japanese

1. WORLD MAP USE
   The World Map is not just for you to have your character travel from one
   point to another. By zooming out twice, you’ll come across an overall map
   with two arrows. The Red arrow is your current location, the Blue arrow is
   your next destination! This feature can be misleading in the late parts of
   the game though. Your characters can only travel in areas with beads leading
   to them. The special enemies can ONLY be encountered on the World Map. Refer
   to the Hints and Tips section of the FAQ for more info on the special
   enemies.

2. MONEY
   The currency used is GP. Money is hard to come by in the game, so try to
   save as much as possible. The best weapons, armor and items WILL make you
   cry to the bank! The best way to save money is to minimize the use of items
   and if you have the Pocketstation, you can transfer items and money found in
   the mini-game into the game.

3. STATUS SCREEN
   The status screen is shows information on your characters, translated as
   follows, the options are:

4. Status

5. Items
   2a) Use item
   2b) Discard
   2c) Arrange
   2d) Important Items

6. Equip weapons and armor

7. Additional Combo settings

8. Change party members

9. Options-music, dragoon animation on/off, vibration

10. Pocketstation

13. FINAL BOSS BATTLE TIPS
    The final battle in Legend of Dragoon is though and many people out there
    say it’s near impossible. I have decided to give some helpful tips and list
    the bulk of the attacks that I have seen of the final bosses.
    Item Preparation:
    Though it is not necessary for you to have all the listed items. Having as
    much of them as possible however, will make the final battle much easier.
    a) Healing Items- bring multi-character healing items that heal half to all
    HP to all members. You cannot afford to slowly heal one character at a time!
    Bring about 10.
    b) Magic restores- Require at least 7, if you have the one that restores the
    MP of all characters it will be an added bonus.
    c) Revives- Bring at least 8! You’ll need to be able to revive your
    characters! Duh!
    d) Magic items- Multi-hitting spell items help out in certain situations.
    Bring at least 5
    e) SP Potions- to restore 100SP quickly for emergencies. If you don’t have
    any then add 2 more Magic restores to your inventory.

Equipment Preparation:
a) Accessories or armor that increase your MP is an added plus for this
battle. So far I have found a ring that doubles my MP, though I forgot where
I found it and a helm that increases a characters MP by 50%. I equip the
ring on Dart to allow him to use his Dragon Vulcan and Dragon Cannon attacks
more often.
b) Legend Armor and Legend Helm. Yep, it’s those 10000 GP monster armors in
the two weapon shops in the game. Though it is not necessary to have them it
does make the battle easier. If you struggled and purchased these babies
before entering the Final Dungeon, good for you. I bought one of each for
Dart, allowing him to really last in the final battle!
c) If you didn’t buy the Legend Armor and Helm, then make sure you buy those
Dragoon Armors in the Final Dungeon. They really add a lot to your Magic
Defense and will allow you to survive the powerful spells used by the Boss.
No kidding.

Level and skill preparation:
a) Make sure the characters of choice you are going to use in the final
battle are at least Level 40+ and have already MASTERED their final combos,
the enemies in the Final dungeon are powerful and give lots of EXP. I used
Dart, Ros’e and Leenus for the final battle. Dart’s final combo is quite
easy to execute once you get the hang of it, not to mention it will dish out
450% damage!
b) The chosen characters must have maxed their Dragoons at Level 5.
c) Equip the best possible weapons and armor you have and prepare to fight!
d) Enter the battle with all characters’ SP bars fully charged!

Boss Forms:
The battlefield will span 6 Generations. From the creation of the world to
it’s predicted End. The Final Boss will take 4 different forms through these
6 generations. This might interest you gamers. The total HP of the boss
remains the same for all 4 forms and the more damage you deal to the boss’s
first form the better! All damage estimates are dependent on the strength of
your armor and the level of your characters so they may not be accurate.
a) 1st Form: Boss and 4 tentacles.
This form of the Boss is the easiest. He uses mainly high-level Earth and
Dark type magic. Use Dart’s Dragon Vulcan and some multi-hitting spells or
attacks to take out the tentacles. Once the tentacles are out of the way,
unleash Dragon Cannon and all the most powerful attacks of your characters.
You should be dealing at least 3000 damage each turn. This form has the
lowest defense so the more damage you succeed in dealing, the more easier it
will be to deal with the other 3 forms.
b) 2nd Form: Boss with sword and cannons.
Most of this bosses attacks target a single character, but can be damaging
due to his increased speed and power. This boss attacks very quickly with a
laser sword which deals around 300-750 HP damage to a character. He also
uses the Dart’s Dragon Cannon attack, dealing 600-1800 HP damage to a
character. He also uses the Galaxy Cannon occasionally, causing around
1000-2000 HP in damage to all characters. Occasionally he will suck up one
character for about 2-3 turns and then shooting him/her out at another
character. This causes around 600-1500 HP damage to both characters and can
be pretty irritating!
c) 3rd Form: Spacecraft/gun form!?
This boss has varying attacks depending on the time of day.
Night: will summon out 4 projectiles and uses them to attack all party
members for a small amount of damage. Shoots a globe at a single character
for 200-1000 HP damage and the occasional Galaxy Cannon. Some physical
attacks
Daytime: uses a large fireball on all characters, causing 500-1500 HP
damage. A Gravity Press attack on all characters, causing 600-1800 HP
damage. Globe shooting and physical attacks as usual, he also uses a
powerful Fire based attack on all characters. Dish out as much damage as
possible to this form of the boss as well. I managed to get his life down to
Yellow, which meant I was half done. Yeah!
d) Final Form: Horseshoe Crab?
This is THE toughest form of the boss. If you had successfully managed to
bring the HP of the previous 3 forms down, this boss SHOULD have at least
have lost more than 50% of it’s HP. This is one battle you do NOT want to
prolong since you’ll probably be running out of restorative items by now.
This is going to be one desperate battle! The boss uses devastating and
high-level spells. You have the usual Earth and Dark spells together with a
Holy and Wind spells and the devastating Ice Circle attack that can
seriously cripple or kill off your entire party outright! Dealing between
1000-4500 HP in water damage! That’s why I said armor with High Magic
Defense is a must! There is also a slightly less devastating tornado attack
that deals around 1500-2500 HP damage to all characters. The boss also
attacks with Confusion Song which can cause Confuse to all your characters
and if this happens, it could very well mean the end! Do NOT change all your
characters into Dragoons at the same time! This boss uses an Energy Field
attack which reduces the power and defense of all Dragoons to 10%! You can
tell if the boss is going to use this attack when he spawns two ‘helpers’.
Limit the use of Dragoons in this battle! The boss also uses the Angel
Assault attack on one character occasionally, causing around 1200-3000 HP
damage. The boss also uses a Lightning Laser, causing around 600 to 1500 HP
damage to a single character. The Hologram attack is just a simple physical
attack that hits six times causing around 600-1800 HP in damage. The
‘helpers’ are deadly against Dragoons when the Energy Field is in effect.
The use normal physical attacks, a spore attack that does around
2000-8000(eek) HP damage to a Dragoon with the Energy Field in effect, it
does around 200-800 HP in damage when the Energy Field is no longer in
effect. They also have a kamikaze attacks that instantly kills one character
and the ‘helper’. They also have an incredibly funny attack where the
‘helper’ sends one of your character to another realm and you gain control
of the ‘helper’! The ‘helper’ has two choosable attacks, a normal physical
attack and a Special Attack where the ‘helper’ does the Macarena to restore
the HP of the other two characters! Really funny stuff! The battle ends when
Dart automatically transforms and deals the deathblow with a Dragon Cannon
Blast. After that, enjoy one of the best RPG endings ever! Don’t forget to
wait for the credits to roll finish!

1. POCKETSTATION MINI-GAME INFO
   For those of you fortunate to get your hands on a Pocketstation, the playing
   of Legend of Dragoon is going to be more fun! The Pocketstation mini-game
   require 9 Blocks of Memory. In the mini-game, you take control of a digger.
   Your job is to search for money and items. The digger can become stronger if
   you find special items to increase his stats. You mainly travel around
   underground tunnels looking for treasure. You will encounter enemies which
   you have to defeat and the occasional boss! Defeating a boss nets you a rare
   or unique item that cannot be found in the main game and can be found only
   in the Pocketstation mini-game! All the money and items you find can be
   transferred to the main game to be used! This is the ONLY way to get items
   you cannot find in the main game! Though the items you can find are not
   necessary for the story in the main game, they do help in making battles
   easier. The rarest item I found so far is an accessory that can be sold for
   5000GP at a shop and really boosts the characters stats! This is one reason
   to go out and find a Pocketstation!

2. STORY & PLOT INFO
   Warning!: May contain SPOILERS!
   Recently, I’ve been getting mail inquiring into the more complex parts of
   the games story, well, I can’t reply to all the messages I get, so I’m
   taking the effort to explain some of the deeper aspects of the game’s story
   for everyone who wants to know! These are all the plots people have been
   asking me, though they might not be 100% accurate, it’s the best I can do
   with my Japanese to English dictionary and my ‘unreliable’ friends okay? But
   I welcome corrections, E-mail me if you know something I don’t. I’ll post
   you in the Credit section if your information is correct. I’ll do checks!
   Feel free to contribute too!

PRELUDE:
In the world of Legend of Dragoon, there are believed to be 108 existing
races. Common sense will tell you that some of this races didn’t really get
along. About thousands of years ago, the race of Humans waged a war with the
race of the Winged, humans with the ability to fly naturally.
The purpose of the war was lost in time. Some said it was due to a major
dispute, some say a great evil fanned the flames of the war and some think
it was over the Tree of God. The Winged were at an advantage in the early
part of the war, easily routing the Human forces with Magic and airborne
assaults. The Humans were about to lose when they discovered the ability to
use the spirits of deceased dragons to transform into Dragoons. This new
found powers gave Humans a great advantage and eventually the tide of the
war turned.
The final outcome is unknown, but one things for sure, Humans have
occupied almost every inch of the world and nothing is known of what had
happened to the Winged.

STORY:
The story begins with Ros’e observing the Emerald Fang Dragon hunting in
the forest. She senses something and proceeds to enter the forest.
We then shift to a scene of the army of a tyrannical King razing the village
of Shana’s Father, who is the Elder. Many are killed and the Commander that
led the assault together with a hooded man come across the unconscious
Shana. The Commander uses a glowing orb and mentioned something about Shana
being ‘the One’. The hooded man ordered for her to be taken to the nearby
Prison until further orders.
Dart was adopted by the village Elder when he was young and he is
currently resting a clearing in the forest oblivious to what is happening to
his adopted village until he hears the hoof beats of some Riders. He
confronts one of them but before he can do anything, Emerald Fang appears
and sends everyone bolting. Ros’e eventually saves him and he immediately
runs to the village. Ros’e feels something familiar about Dart.
The story then starts with earnest when Dart breaks into the prison and
meets up with Ravits, the two of them then raise one hell of a ruckus and
rescue Shana. Unaware of the conspiracy the were about to get embroiled in.

DART’S PAST:
Dart originally lived in a village in the Northern parts of the continent.
18 years ago when Dart was 5 years old, his village was under attack by the
Black Demon. His father, who is a Dragoon user takes Dart to safety before
running off with his wife and other companions to do battle with the Black
Demon, who had already established a stronghold in the skies. Dart’s parents
never made it back though the Demon was vanquished. It is later learnt that
Ros’e was the only survivor, or is she? All will be answered in Disc 4 so
I’m not going to give any spoilers!

THE KING OF DRAGONS:
The Dragons in Legend of Dragoon are incredibly fearsome and powerful
creatures of various shapes. Some look like giant fish or even fighter jets!
The dragons also have their own hierarchy, with the weaker dragon bowing
down to the stronger one. The color of their eyes indicate their power and
age. The King Dragon was the most powerful and most feared of all the
dragons. Not to mention it is also the most ancient. The King Dragon was
finally sealed away in Fire Dragon Mountain thousands of years ago.
Recently, the King Dragon has awakened and eventually breaks free in Disc 3.
Leveling a city in an awesome display of fury and power. Dart and gang will
eventually have to confront it. The dragons of the Dragoon stones Dart and
gang posses were formerly dragons lower in level than the King Dragon that
is why Dart and gang were told NOT to use their Dragoon powers when fighting
King Dragon. You can use your Dragoon powers if you want but don’t blame me
if you get pummeled into oblivion!
