Please introduce yourself.
Fisshiii: Good evening, It’s a pleasure to meet the FGG community. My name is Fisshiii, I’m one of the Moderators in Dragon Master Guild that assists people and helps them when they are encountering problems in the game. I’m also an approachable person when you are in need. Tonight, I will be answering your questions during the AMA event. If you have any questions regarding Dragon Master, feel free to ask us.
Rondie: Hi This is Rondie, the Marketing Head of DragonMaster, I’m so happy to join this AMA with FGG ☺. Thanks to all the players, FGG and DragonMaster, much appreciated for your support guys ❤.
Please give us an overview of the project.
Fisshiii: Dragon Master is the first blockchain-based Metaverse game that blends RTS, MOBA, Collection, and Play to Earn gameplay.
For the Gameplay
There are 4 sizes of dragons, S / M / L / XL. The bigger the size, the heavier the weight, but the weaker the attacking power.
The dragons will compete on the battlefield of 5 tracks, where both players can choose the tracks to send out the dragons based on their strategies. There are also obstacles with different power ups that will appear on the tracks.
When in battle, the larger weight dragons can push the lighter ones to the end of the track and cause damage to the pushed player’s HP.
When one player’s HP hits zero, the winner will be announced.
Tell us about your team, partners and investors.
Rondie: First of all we are a distributed-office team. Most of our developers and our marketing staff work online due to geographical issues. In order to ensure the normal running of our project, we are currently communicating online.
Most of us have experience with traditional games, but currently we can’t disclose our team information for some reasons. But what I want to claim is that this will not affect the operation of the project, because we also noticed that some anonymous teams can run their projects well.
There are quite a few people on our team worth mentioning, and what we can tell is that our founder is a multi-year game developer, serial entrepreneur, and an avid crypto enthusiast.
For the partnerships, Dragon Master raised $1.125M in seed sales in early Q2 2021. The investment institution that can be disclosed at present is Damo Labs. In addition, we also established contact with Polygon Studio last year and accepted their grant.
Later, DragonMaster became the first batch of games supported by IGG, and other guilds include TCG, NamelessGG, SLG, and many more. At the same time, we have also established cooperation with many Facebook and Youtube influencers.
These are the list of Partners of Dragon Master
What are the advantages of your project?
What makes it different from other BCG projects?
Fisshiii: The advantages of DragonMaster from the other games is that the game doesn’t only provide for what are the standards. We are improving the gaming experience of every player as well as investors by giving them the right satisfaction they want including the gaming experience with the future use of VR and other game mechanics like defending your territory while earning money etc.
What makes it different from other BCG projects to DragonMaster is that we don’t offer low quality stuff and gameplay. We are here to provide a long term game and a high quality, enjoyable and exciting game. In the future, everyone may be able to enjoy playing DragonMaster in VR!
Imagine playing DragonMaster with VR especially on our land system which allows you to build your own empire and conquer enemies’ empires with your guild.🔥
Please tell us about your project roadmap.
Rondie: Details for our roadmap is listed on our official website
Here in our Canny, players can view the project progress, make discussions and submit their suggestions on some functions, etc.
There are also exciting proposals and news that is likely to come out soon in Dragon Master.
The first will be the TOTEM /DMT arena!
It will be opening soon! Here players need to pay first to compete, the winner will get the TOTEM and mDMT from the loser, and DragonMaster will collect part of the fee from it for burning.
The second will be the Practice Room
The game will open the practice room for all players, they need to use the entrance ticket to enter the practice room, which will cost TOTEM to buy. Players will not consume energy in the practice room, and will not be rewarded with TOTEM when got victory .
Third, there will be lots of new NFTs! Like material NFT, gem NFT, skin NFT…
In the future, the breeding process will support the addition of a variety of material NFT, which can shorten the hatching time, and improve the probability of quality, the probability of body type and the probability of inheriting from parents. Gem NFT will be used to strengthen or synthesize mutations and other roles. Skin NFT will be used for limited dragons.
The team also initiated a proposal in order to make DragonMaster popular to a wider group of users.
These are the following proposals
We will provide all players with a free non-NFT white dragon team for new players to try the game. This white dragon team can compete with the leaderboard players, but can not win TOTEM. If they want to be stronger, then they can go to the official website to buy real dragon NFT.
Breeding system: will not produce white and black dragons.
please tell us about your gameplay.
How does a dragon’s NFT status affect the battle?
Fisshiii: For the gameplay I already answered this on Question 2.
A Dragon’s status can really affect the battles because there are many types of dragons and they have their own skills.
For example if you get a Lucky-Armor team. The team consists of one lucky XL, one lucky L, one Armor medium, and one Armor small.
This team is currently good for many players because the XL and L lucky dragons have a high chance of appearing on the battlefield while the Armor dragon gives a large amount of shield which gives you enough time to reduce the opponents hp before they can break your armor.
There are also lots of Dragon team combinations you can come up with to better suit your playstyle. The more you study your opponent’s Dragon status the more you know how to counter it and what dragons that you should buy or breed in the future.
The team is also making balance adjustments on a regular basis and pursuing the balance and playability of the game, so that relatively weak dragons can have advantages in some cases.Here also an update that if players use Family Dragons, they get an additional buff, and enjoy an advantage on the battlefield.
There are also Special Dragons with unique skill attributes compared with normal dragons. With them you may improve your win rate. For example the freeze dragon can freeze all enemy dragons in the track, the bomb can easily clear a track with its missle, and the demon dragon can give extra damage for own dragons in the track.
What is your game time and tips for winning battles?
What is the plan for ongoing user acquisition?
Rondie: About gaming tips, well, My average game time is around 90–110s and tips that I will be sharing is don’t contest a lane without having any XL or L dragons because opponents can easily push back your dragons when they have a L or XL dragon.
Save your XL and L dragons because you need them in contesting opponents and have a higher chance in winning the contest. When dropping an S or M in a lane and you feel like you are going to lose the contest because you don’t have any spare XL or L, I recommend that you switch a lane because you will be just wasting your extra knowing that you will lose the contest.
You can also bait opponents where you drop a single dragon on that lane to force them to drop M L or XL dragon then you can switch to another lane to attack because you know that they already used their XL, L, and M dragon which have more weight.
You can also learn different tactics and play styles from other players by watching their stream because each player has its own unique way of playing in the game. It also depends on what dragons you are using and the dragons you are against.
Regarding the plan to continuously acquire users, we think that lowering the threshold is a good way, because the current blockchain games always have a high barriers for ordinary gamers. As we said before in our latest proposal:
We will provide all players with a free non-NFT white dragon team for new players to try the game. This white dragon team can compete with the leaderboard players, but can not win TOTEM. If they want to be stronger, then they can go to the official website to buy real dragon NFT.
On top of that we’re continuing to build partnerships with influencers, speaking of which, DragonMasters recently announced that they’re looking for a new video/live stream creator to grow with us, and of course, various bonuses.

What do we need to start this game?
Fisshiii: To enter the game, you need to have 4 Dragons of different sizes, they are S \ M \ L \ XL. New players can buy Dragon through the official marketplace, or can buy DragonMaster Box through OpenSea.
In the marketplace, you can choose what type of Dragon type, size, quality, and Skill attributes you want to buy.
What are some examples of DragonMaster totem and $TOTEM and $DMT tokens? Also, what are your plans for the combustion mechanism?
Fisshiii: Totems are ingame rewards by doing daily quests, winning in a battle through PVP.
DMT can be acquired through farming in a sacred altar, which only TOTEM Holders can get access to.
The sacred altar generates DMT every 2 hours, and this portion will be allocated according to the ratio of the number of TOTEM held by each player to the total number of TOTEM held by all active players. The more TOTEM a player holds, the more DMT he/she will get.
It’s kind of like sumo wrestling, and I find it awfully interesting. ……
Is there any possibility of adding new battlefields?
Not just rectangular lanes, but round ring-like ……
Rondie: Good question and also a good question for suggestion! As of now rectangular lanes is only available. In the future, more battlefields will be added and I know everyone will be excited.
Another question sir, About the burning mechanism of dragon master, is there (upcoming) burning mechanism in dragon master?
Rondie: The team will buy back and burn tokens. Which is one of the basic thing to do in order to maintain the economy healthy☺. Also burning dragons by our NFT Burning System which is Mutation Breeding where there will be chances that the dragon born will be able to have an extra skill and heritable as well as parents will be burned. More information and updates on helping burn tokens will be updated on our server soon.
What determines the rarity, size, etc. that come out of an egg?
Fisshiii: As shown in the picture, now you can check the probability of baby dragons when breeding!!!
