DRAPLINE Beginner Guide: Plan Your Build

1. Compare targets before comparing damage labels

Uppercut is a Horn physical attack with medium damage to one target and a displayed two-turn cooldown. Fireball is a Roar magical attack with the same target count and displayed cooldown. Those matching labels do not imply matching final damage: the attack type and your current combat state still matter.

Bash deals small physical damage to all targets; Tornado deals small magical damage to all targets. Both display a two-turn cooldown. Treat these as area-coverage alternatives, not automatically stronger replacements for single-target skills.

Compare Uppercut and Fireball or compare Bash and Tornado.

2. Read the upgrade itself

Uppercut+ changes the damage label from medium to medium+ while retaining a displayed two-turn cooldown. Do not assign a universal percentage improvement to a plus sign. Filter the skill list by family, then search the same name to compare both versions.

A passive has no active cooldown to compare. A dash in an active skill’s description is also different from a missing value; this site preserves the game text instead of converting either to an invented number.

3. Match an artifact to a mechanic you already use

Magic Wand lists Magical Power +15%; Karate Book lists Critical Hit Rate +10%. These are different modifiers, not interchangeable damage multipliers. Dragon Incense adds BP per turn, while Dragon's Necklace raises the BP maximum. One supports generation; the other supports capacity.

Assault Lance gives the first attack skill used in battle +100% power, with a first-hit-only restriction for multi-hit skills. Read restrictions as carefully as the headline bonus. Configured prices in the artifact list are reference values, not a simulation of live shop offers or discounts.

4. Separate bag items, combat items and ingredients

Meat on the Bone shifts personality towards WILD; Health Supplement shifts it towards RULE. Their stronger counterparts use “greatly shift” in the game text. The descriptions do not specify a numeric shift or guarantee an ending.

Dragon Milk describes a 25% HP heal in battle, whereas Large Beehive restores 20 Stamina from the bag. Both look like food, but solve different problems. The item catalog identifies use context; it does not cover the full feeding ingredient system.

5. Keep unknowns out of your plan

The Shield amount for Harden depends on VIT, and the description contains a runtime substitution. Searchable text retains the relationship, but a fixed amount would be misleading without your character state. The same limitation applies to variable healing and damage values.

Gallery presence confirms a described entry, not its unlock route, drop chance or availability in your run. There is no live-save import, damage simulator or automated ending predictor here. Check the in-game description if your version differs.
