Equipping dedicated Dream Relic Dragonware in Tower of Saviors restores older Black Gold cards to playable conditions for modern Ultimate and Nightmare stages. These exclusive crafts address the mechanic limitations and damage ceilings of legacy units—specifically Qinggui, Pandora, Aria, Jabir, and Laplace—by adding teamwide base multipliers, initial skill cooldown reductions, and consistent runestone production.
Unit Upgrades and Kit Adjustments
Each Dream Relic craft targets the operational bottleneck of its designated monster. Craft selection should depend on whether you possess the supporting sub pool required to field the card effectively.
- Qinggui (Azure Dragon): Resolves runestone generation and combo consistency issues. The craft stabilizes damage output and supports Dragon Force management, making him viable as either a wave-clearing leader or a burst sub in Dragon and Beast teams.
- Pandora: Accelerates Magic Box energy accumulation and boosts single-target burst ceilings. The relic adds built-in damage reduction layers, protecting teams against lethal preemptive strikes while setting up alternating burst turns.
- Aria: Solves modern damage ceiling limits by tying supplemental multipliers directly to Heart and Light runestone dissolution, allowing her leader skill to meet multi-billion HP boss thresholds.
- Jabir: Bolsters sustained recovery and guarantees consistent full-board Fire runestone production, reinforcing his endurance-based attrition playstyle.
- Laplace: Smooths runestone pattern generation and improves skill cycling, minimizing the need to waste active skills on intermediate battle waves.
| Black Gold Monster | Core Relic Upgrade | Primary Stage Role |
|---|---|---|
| Qinggui | Dragon Force support and combo stabilization | Clear Leader / Dragon Burst Sub |
| Pandora | Magic Box ramp-up and damage mitigation | Safety Leader / Technical Boss Burst |
| Aria | Heart and Light dissolution scaling | Mono-Light Burst Leader |
| Jabir | Recovery baseline and Fire generation | High-sustain Attrition Leader |
| Laplace | Pattern manipulation and skill turnaround | Board Controller / Hybrid Burst |
Dragon Craft Skill Timing
Dedicated Dream Relic skills should not be treated as generic emergency shields. Instead, budget their activation for specific encounter phases:
- Early Wave Cooldown Acceleration: Trigger the craft during the opening waves of long stages to clear skill debt and ensure your core subs are fully charged by wave three or four.
- Phase Transition Counters: In multi-phase boss fights featuring layered barriers (such as Anti-Decay shields paired with high damage-reduction shields), activate the craft to push past the mitigation threshold while simultaneously replenishing the unit's board-conversion actives.
Crafting Priority and Limitations
While Dream Relic crafts provide significant stat and utility corrections, they do not automatically outperform current-generation festival Black Gold cards. Manage your resources using the following criteria:
- Evaluate Your Sub Pool First: Only forge crafts for leaders where you already own compatible, modern subs. An upgraded Qinggui cannot handle end-stage mechanics if your team lacks Dragon subs that bypass combo absorption or damage nullification.
- Account for Craft Slot Lock: Equipping an exclusive Dream Relic occupies the monster's Dragonware slot. This prevents you from equipping utility crafts that clear frozen boards, unlock runestones, or provide specialized cross-burst effects. Ensure your remaining team members carry the necessary utility to counter these traits.
- Limit Material Spending: If your roster already features top-tier modern leaders capable of clearing current endgame content, reserve your refining materials for Black Gold cards that fulfill specific restricted-entry quest conditions.

This guide answered the exact question I had.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Good guide for Tower of Saviors players. The strategy part was useful.
