Dungeon Link Tips, Cheats and Strategies

Dungeon Link is an puzzle / battle game from Gamevil. In this game, you fight a demon king and his minions by drawing lines between marked points and constructing a path for your fighters to wander down. Gamezebo’s Dungeon Link Tips, Cheats and Strategies will help make sure you walk the path to victory.

• You can connect circles backwards on the battlefield – Each fighter in Dungeon Link has a starting point and an ending point. You perform attacks by linking these two points. However, you don’t necessarily have to start your connection on the tile your fighter is standing on. You can also work backwards from their finishing point. This is important to remember when attempting to link up fighters’ attacks.
• Look before you link – There’s no time limit in Dungeon Link, so it pays to think about each move you make. Even your starting move can determine whether you’ll manage to cover every tile and perform a perfect attack.
• Perfect strikes are your best bet against bosses – If you cover every tile when shuffling your fighters around, you’ll perform an additional and powerful “perfect strike.” These can be vital for taking down bosses, especially later in the game when said bosses learn how to heal themselves between rounds.
• Pick up your gem bonuses every two hours – The innkeeper’s son will have a handful of gems for you every couple of hours. Gems are used for valuable warrior summons, so check in often.

• Use your normal summoning tickets to pick up fodder for enhancing your best fighters  – Normal summoning tickets usually bring forth single-star fighters who aren’t much good beyond the game’s opening chapters. Still, they can be valuable for enhancing other fighters, so bring them forth when you need to boost your ranks.
• Use low-level fighters to enhance higher-level fighters, even if it takes a few tries – A one-star fighter only has a one-in-four chance of enhancing a three-star fighter. It’s very much worth the attempt though, since every failure boosts your chances for success the next time you try enhancing your warrior.
• Don’t forget about your special skills – Dungeon Link’s fast-paced action makes it very easy to forget that each of your fighters has a special skill that charges up as you fight. Use these skills liberally! They can help put a big dent in a tough boss fight.
• Remember the elemental balance – Some (but not all) enemies and warriors subscribe to an element. Water trumps fire, fire trumps nature, and nature trumps water. If a foe or a good guy adheres to an element, you’ll see the relevant symbol beside their life bar.

• The longer a character’s path is on the battle grid, the more powerful their attack becomes – If you can make your warrior meander all over the battle grid, they’ll execute a more powerful attack than what’s possible with a simple jaunt from point A to point B. That said, it’s usually best to take whatever path is necessary to perform a perfect strike.
• Clearing special dungeons is vital for evolving your fighters – Fight in special dungeons every day. It’s the only way to earn the materials necessary for evolving your warriors.
• Track and perform quests for important rewards – You can look at available quests at the Inn. When you finish a task, make sure to collect your reward.
