Jiaolong the Guardian is the new Crusader in the fifth tier of the Princess' Pool Party Event. Jiaolong descends from the skies above to bring a powerful dragon DPS Crusader to your formations! His Laden Clouds ability increases his DPS based on a percentage of your Gold Find, while his Azure Skies, Razor Claws, and Nine Sons upgrades increase his DPS.

With River Guardian, Jiaolong marks four slots in the formation when he has the highest DPS in the formation, with each marked slot increasing the Global DPS boosting of Crusaders in those slots (these slots change each reset). This ability is further buffed by Eternal Waterfall, which buffs River Guardian by 50% for each Support Crusader that it affects.

Nature's Guardian

Strategies[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Unlike most self-DPS abilities, Jiaolong's Laden Clouds is a notably good target for Adina's Hero League, because it is both a strong self-DPS buff and also barely affected by the lowered effectiveness from Hero League. This can allow another DPSer with strong self-DPS buffs to take advantage of Laden Clouds at the same time. Alternatively, Laden Clouds can be copied by Mindy or Torakichi, then Hero League can copy it back to Jiaolong so that he has both Laden Clouds and Laden Clouds (Mimic).
