Guide to Dragon Dance Build (Critical, Gold Rathian)
Thematic and in-game explanation for the build
- Heroics
In-game: Boosts the strength of all moves Goldian uses. This is used in conjunction with Vigilance as the highest damage increase from a passive skill. Thematic: the Dragon Dance was allegedly invented to drive off mythical beasts from towns and villages every Chinese New Year, which fits well with the name of the gene.
- Fire+
Self explanatory
- Hellblade
Necessary for any crit fire build, being able to sometimes one shot in PvP
- Pump Up
Necessary buff to increase damage by 70%. Essential and OP.
- Valiant Flare
In-game: Another very useful buff for fire monsties, allowing for massive damage numbers. Thematic: again, the legend of CNY fits well with the name of the gene (Valiant Flare)
- Critical
Of course we can’t make a critical build without it, can we??
- Queen’s Judgement
In game: Speed crittable skill for landing Ceuta with big damage and excellent animations. Thematic: Again, the name of the gene, especially the ‘judgement’ part. Dragons represent good luck in Chinese culture, so I found it more fitting to use a ‘judgement’ move in this build in a way that dragons represent, put simply, good karma and justice.
- Vigilance
In-game: Combos with Critical and Heroics to constantly deal massive damage and crit under 50% health. Thematic: Again, the name of the gene with the theme of CNY.
- Firecracker
In-game: The goal of the build is to crit and deal damage under 50% health. Firecracker deals damage and can Crit, contributing to the build by allowing Gold Rathian to win H2Hs. Thematic: Firecrackers are lit on Chinese New Year as a tradition. So yeah, the pun is fully intended here.
Monstie choice: Gold Rathian, because it is a good fire monstie and its auspicious coor as well, representing wealth and luck.
