YOU MISSED FROSTVAL!?!?!?!
HolyShit, rheonix, you just missed one of the best Storylines as well as some of the best Armor in the game thus far! Not to mention the DragonHead Sword, which is a bitch to get, but once you do it has a 5% chance to heal you upon -any- strike. Upgrading the fucker is even worse, as an Ice Dragon Head is a rare-drop.
But you'd better have a weapon of each element to deal with these things. And if you -do- try the Titan Fights, use either Fire or Ice. Why? Fire does extra damage to both Water and Ice elemental Titans, while Ice damages Fire and Energy. So, to get more variety out of fights (and to build up the # of waves killed) I set my dragon to Ice and spam the Titan Battle. Nit does the same, with Fire.
If you want to build up Defender's Medals, do the normal battle against the waves. Again, have a number of different elemental weapons so you'll have the right tool for the job. Set your dragon for either Light or Darkness elements, that way s/he won't be healing any elemental you're fighting.
There's also new rewards: Trinkets. These can be equipped to give you a +1 or +2 bonus to various stats, including Crit bonus. Only one Trinket at a time, as usual. I'm not sure why they're giving out Elemental Essences, since if you've done the Nytheria chain to get to this point, you'll know about Warlic's little problem. I'm just going to stash those in the safe for now.
