Dragon Maid’s Break, the latest event by Alchemy Stars bought with it a new storyline for the event which infuses the story of Kobayashi Dragon Maid and explains how they enter the Alchemy Stars universe. The event itself is different from the usual events which have more diversity in the content released alongside the event. For example, the current event does not have a main story stage or any new type of reward system like we had seen with previous events. This makes us feel this event is more to target new players and hence, the difficulty is lowered for the same. Players can easily farm their resources and still be able to complete the event as the event follows a “farm event currency and exchange system.”. Players will be able to get one of the new 5-Star Aurorians through a selector box through the event. Players also get the 4-Star Aurorian and his solambers to max him out for free. In this article, we will give a brief overview of the new Aurorians coming with the Dragon Maid’s Break event – Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa, Elma, and Fafnir. Tohru, Kanna, Lucoa, and Elma, out of the 5 mentioned Aurorians are available to be summoned through their special time-limited recruitment. Players can summon for them using the Special Star Flares.

Alchemy Stars gacha/summoning system is very straightforward and player-friendly. Banners are divided into event/time-limited banners and regular/rotating banners. Each banner uses up a different currency to summon – Special Star Flares and Star Flares, respectively for each type of banner. These Star Flares can be bought by using the premium currency Lumambers at an exchange rate of 300 Lumamber per Star Flare/Special Star Flare. They can also be earned via events, compensations, log-in rewards, and achievements in-game. As Bethel and Luke are event Aurorians, they are available through their own time-limited banners. Players can summon them with the base rate of 2% just like any other 6-Star Aurorian in the game till 50 summons. After 50 summons, the rates will increase by 2.5% per summon for summoning a 6-Star Aurorian. There exists no pity for a specific character but at least players who have saved up enough summons can be assured to summon a 6-Star Aurorian with the rate up.
