Boss Heraldry Plates

There are super hard dungeon instances in Dragon Nest called Nests. One of the great things about a Nest is that they have a possibility of dropping special boss Heraldry Plates.

 

Minotaur Nest

Cow Strike: required lv16 and B grade, unleashes a bull for trolling purposes

 

 Cerberus Nest

In Cerberus Nest, the three plates dropped have three element attributes. Unfortunately, despite appearances, the three plates don't do any elemental damage and aren't flexible at all.

Fireball: Shoots 3 fireballs, can change direction while shooting. This skill forces you to stay in one place during the casting making you very vulnerable to attacks.

Ice: Shoots one ice ball that has a homing effect. The ice is slow but cast time is extremely fast. This is the plate that Sething (a talented force user and an awesome member of this community) recommends.

Lightning: Shoot lightning in front of you. Forces you to stand in a stationary position, casting time is slow and the damage is horrible.

 

Manticore Nest

Black Hole: Requires you to stand still and has some sort of suction effect.

Gravity Ball: This plate is highly recommended. Grants superarmor, great range, and very quick casting time. The damage isn't the best but the other aspects overshadow the minor flaw.

Tornado: Fast cast time and can catch mobs. It doesn't last too long. Use this until you find a Gravity Ball plate.

 

Apocalypse Nest

Call Tentacles: Summons two tentacles. These monsters have HP and they constantly do damage on an enemy. They don't bind.

Lost: Stand still and shoots a few attacks from the ground. Don't use this plate. It sucks.

There are other non-nest plates that adds a skill as well. From the dark channel, there are these two towers. One has 24 rooms and the other has 36 rooms.

The 24 Room place drops one plate

Hound Attack: Dogs fall from the...sky? 

The 26 Room place drops two plates

Physical: Based off your physical strength.

Magical: Based off your magical strength.

Protip: Don't rely on damage from your boss plates. You want to use them for the utility they bring to the battleground.

Heraldry 101

Introduction

The picture above represents a character’s heraldry set. As you can see, the heraldry set is pretty organized and is broken up by type and level. Level in this case does not refer to the level of the heraldry plate but instead your level.

A Dragon Nest Character has Heraldry slots (the picture above are these slots). Each slot, at the beginning of the game is locked, and while leveling up, each slot will slowly unlock.
Refer to the picture above for the exact level needed to unlock that particular heraldry slot.

As each slot unlocks, you are allowed to put heraldry in that slot.

Heraldry can be found in dungeon instances, Dark Lair, or other users. Each Heraldry Plate is locked and untradeable until unlocked and gives the choice between two effects when unlocking it except Special Heraldry. Special Heraldry only gives one effect (quite a funny one too!). If this confuses you, don’t worry about it and read on. I will explain in precise detail what I wrote in a bit.

How to get Heraldry Plates?

Rank C:

1. Easily available almost in any Normal dungeons, for both Skills and Stats. These plates drop at a random rate, or appears at the chest reward after completing the dungeons.

Rank B:

1. Available in Abyss dungeons, for both Skills and Stats. These plates drop at a random rate, or appears at the chest reward after completing the dungeons.
2. Available for exchange in Dark Boundary. Upon completing 24R or 36R, you get a certain number of dimension pieces to trade for these Heraldry Plates.

Rank A:

1. Available in Nests in Abyss Mode. There is a chance for it to appear after at the chest reward after completing the Nests. Only Stats Heraldry can be obtained from this. 
2. Available when a rare Gold Dimension Box is being opened using the Dimension Key. Only Skills Heraldry can be obtained from this box. Video Example: Gold Dimension Box getting Rank A Heraldry

Special Skills:

1. Available in various Nests in Hell Mode. There is a chance for it to appear after at the chest reward after completing the Nests. Take a look at this video on how a player can use a Nest Boss’ skill such as Cerberus’ Dark Lightning. Cerberus Dark Lightning Skill Heraldry
