Xander Solo Clear explanation Every time there's a facility event, there's always going to be videos of someone soloing the Master challenge with Xander regardless of what element the facility is for, showing that he is indeed the One True King.
Pipple has also gotten this treatment, to the point of being considered a literal god among fans.
Ilia immediately got this treatment after the reveal of her design, with the fact that the "goddess" of the world is actually a gun-toting badass.
Out of bosses, the Sunrise Snapper is treated as such. In-spite of it being a Zero-Effort Boss, people like to interpret it as being very powerful to the point of it being an example of Magikarp Power.
Nope/NRG. Explanation One of the stickers available at launch was Cleo holding a sign with "NOPE/NRG (ennuji)" written on it while saying nope in a deadpan, condescending manner. This was commonly used by players against someone who is believed to be ill-equipped for the upcoming quest, whether justified or not.
RIP Nope Explanation When it was announced that Nope and two other mean-spirited stickers (Grr and Really?) were being replaced after the Fire Emblem update, fans mourned for their loss.
Fat Notte Explanation In Celliera's story, Notte ended up eating the party's food and ended up fat because of it, which is depicted as a sprite of her incredibly fat. The "fat Notte" was eventually patched out in the English version for unknown reasons, but it wasn't left unnoticed by the fandom.
Ring-a-Ling! Explanation Refer to Cygames's original character, Lily, when she was first introduced. In her Summoning showcase, one of the first quotes she say in the English dub is "Ring-a-Ling, Lily's here!" Due to the way she says that quote, combined with her incredibly high-pitched voice in the English dub and the charm of the quote, her quote has been made a meme within the fandom. The fandom even sometimes depict her as a Memetic Psychopath as well. Now an Ascended Meme as a Sticker from the Great Dragonyule Offensive event in December 2020.
123 Bread Explanation On November 2018, there was a glitch that caused the items in the Dragon's Roost to become 123 Bread rather than the appropriate items like the Four-Leaf Clover. This glitch was eventually fixed, but it led to various jokes in the official Reddit and various social media platforms. It gets a callback in the 2020 April Fools Day event while filling out the Puppy's Bond level, it gives you a total of 123 loaves of Half-Eaten Bread.
"SWEET SASSY MOLASSY!" Explanation said by Notte during the Halloween 2018 event, has become a pretty popular exclamation to use. It made a return as the difficulty levels in the April Fools' minigame "Notte's Slumber Shot".
“FLYING CHICKENS IN THE BARNYARD!” Explanation Said by Ranzal when he sees Valentine Hildegarde's new outfit.
Eldwater tears Explanation In the summoning gacha, getting a 5* adventurer the player already has will yield 3000 Eldwater, which makes the pity rate very frustrating, especially in the Platinum Showcase in November 2018 where there is a guaranteed gacha pull for a 5* adventurer and the Diamantium spent will end up being a 5* adventurer the player may already have obtained. Not helping the fact that Eldwater currency resembles blue tears, hence the meme. Fortunately, a patch in late April buffed the eldwater obtained to 8500, and even offered compensation to players who had pulled duplicates.
Dragalia Lost... Won Explanation Despite it being an entirely original intellectual property (unlike other gacha games based on existing franchises like Fire Emblem Heroes or Fate/Grand Order), many are surprised that Dragalia Lost is capable of holding on its own, earning acceptable if not surprising amounts of million-dollar revenues. And as such, game journalists who were doubtful of the game's profitability now consider it as a Sleeper Hit. This phrase serves as a common reply or reaction to the number of gaming articles that publish the monthly revenues of Dragalia... albeit with easily misinterpreted titles caused by having "Lost" in the work's name, such as "Dragalia Lost Revenue Surpasses $3 Million" which can be misinterpreted as the game losing $3 million revenue when it is actually the opposite.
"Cygames' Armpit Fetish"Explanation A common thing that's noticed in most, if not all, IPs that Cygames has made, is the abundance of Fanservice that focuses on the characters' armpits regardless of their gender or fictional race. It has led to fans making compilations of armpits, or joking that this particular form of fanservice is the fetish of the company's art department. Nonetheless, fans of their games generally just go along with it though, with fanartists even giving an emphasis on the "pits" just like the official versions. This phrase has seen a resurgence in the late 2010's from the Gateway Series cases of their games, such as Dragalia Lost and Granblue Fantasy Versus.
Where's Luca? Explanation Many events usually feature many of the main characters playing an important to the events' stories. Luca, however, happens to be mostly absent in many of these stories or only briefly appearing despite being one of the main characters in the main story. It also doesn't help to note that he's a Butt-Monkey himself. This is more or less died down in the Valentine's event when he has a larger role in one of the Valentine's stories and has a larger role in the Easter event.
Who's Luca?Explanation Going with the above meme, people act like he doesn't exist to the point anytime he shows up at all, they treat him like a brand new character. Sometimes they just refer to him as “Sarisse's brother.”
Who's Laxi? Explanation Laxi may have been shafted even harder than Luca, as while they don't have the status of Butt-Monkey handed down to them, they barely exist in the main story and only once in an event; that one time was on a wyrmprint.
Awaken, my Valfarre! Explanation The way Valfarre poses in his introduction before his fight made people think of the Pillar Men, even to the point of making clips with the Pillar Men leitmotif, "Awaken."
Sky Knights! Prepare for battle! Explanation Originating from Shadowverse, this is the Catchphrase of Albert when he is played into the board. Albert, Levin Saber, is a Swordcraft follower who can attack twice in a turn, and if you play him at Turn 9, he becomes immune to damage. And it is due to these reasons why many consider him one of the most decent and common game-winning card at that time, cementing his status as an Ensemble Dark Horse. Because the CCG game didn't support multi-language when he was released, most of the western players got used to the baritone of the voice actor and they liked it. Ever since, most of Albert's English lines were treated as memes, sexual innuendos, or used in chain comment reactions whenever the character is being discussed in a Cygames-related western fandom including Granblue Fantasy and Dragalia Lost (games which some Shadowverse players also branched into). Many of his other lines were treated the same:
"Heh. ...Buttholder." Explanation Notte's reaction to Curran's first quote butchering.
By extension, almost all of Curran's malapropisms have become this.
Xunder Explanation Due to the infamous off-model of Xander in one of the wyrmprints, Cleo's Ruse. It's also gotten to the point that he got a Memetic Molester status because of this
Every banner is a bait Explanation A recurring joke within the Dragalia Lost subreddit where they claim every banner is a bait to waste wyrmites because it cause disappointment and regret within the fanbase since another banner will be released sooner that would end being better than the previous banner. This is evident when the Eastern Emissaries banner returned mid May where players have the chance of obtain Ieyasu and Marishiten as well as obtaining the Heralds of Hinomoto wyrmprint from the shop, only to be followed with a Gala Dragalia banner that features the Ensemble Dark Horse Mym as the Gala adventurer. Then her banner is followed with Ambitions in Bloom banner that features Student Maribelle, which is seen as a bait of a bait because Mym is a stun-resistant Fire Lance adventurer who will be incredibly strong against the Echoes of Antiquity raid boss (not to mention that Student Maribelle as a ranged Flame DPS unit is already outclassed by Sarisse and Student Maribelle isn't a limited adventurer).
Squishums Explanation An extremely rare drop introduced in version 1.8 that can only be found in Void Dragon fights. The intended use has yet to be revealed, but their squishiness is undeniable.
Imitation Squish Explanation A Squishums sticker was revealed a week before the 1 year anniversary of the game which involves trading in four Imitation Squishes. While it has a purpose, their squishiness is debatable.
Big Boy Explanation With each new update to the void boss list, it not only involves new void weapons to make, but also a family of daggers known as the Big Boy line usually tuned to Void Dragons it's aiming for. Fans were disappointed when the water daggers didn't have this name, then elated when an update changed their name to include Big Boy.
BAM BAM BAM BAM LOVE HENTAI! Explanation The summon music has been misheard as these lyrics. (The actual lyrics are "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Love & die".)
Bring back Cinderella Step Explanation The only time this song is heard in the main menu is during Chapter 2 in the story. Once it's completed, it switches over to the more regular "Bokura no Network." Since then, it's been a request that there be at least some form of jukebox to play songs throughout the game from previous events, especially that song, which was finally granted after the first anniversary when the game added the option to change the menu music.
Boom. Explanation A sticker added to the game depicting Notte saying "boom" with a smug, goofy face. The phrase and Notte's expression make it very popular for people to spam it.
I can't believe Ranzal's dead!Explanation Ranzal tends to fall into Butt-Monkey status in Dragalia Life, even just ending up on They Killed Kenny Again status compared to the game where he's The Big Guy.
I can't believe X is dead!Explanation It's not just limited to Ranzal. Anytime someone gets hurt in amusing ways, especially if their ghost is out of their body, they're considered to have died. Becomes an Ascended Meme in Doomsday Getaway when Luca is the first to die in a Dangan Ronpa-esque storyline.
NINJA BRIDEExplanation Bridal Aoi says "ninja bride" many times, so it's become something of a catch phrase for her.
The Cube Explanation The EX levels of Chapter 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 all have a SuperbossGiant Space Flea from Nowhere; three space cubes that are given the same reverence as a god within the fanbase Kevin comparisons are also common.
Partying Explanation Despite the direness of the main story where Dyrenell threatens everyone, events often are much more light-hearted as the main characters celebrate holidays and have fun hanging out with the new characters. Compounding this is that events are way more frequent than main story updates, leading players to the impression that they're actually much more concerned with having fun than fighting the empire.
Make a wish ／人◕‿‿◕人＼ Explanation The Fractured Futures event has Chronos, in his child-size form, working to make a Bad Future to the point he comes off as the Dragalia version of Kyubey.
Berserker alt with his helmet still on Explanation Berserker's helmet is considered an iconic aspect about him. Whenever seasonal alts are brought up, expect someone to joke about including a Berserker alt with his helmet still on, no matter what the season. There is a Monster Hunter variation of him that still has his helmet on, leading to this meme again.
Eventually Jurota stopped thinking Explanation Dragalia Life 180 and 181 have Jurota find Rawn has turned Aoi's trained pigeons feral. When she finds out, they get retrained and made over by going to Zardin. The silliness of Jurota Giving Up on Logic is compared to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure villain Kars who ends up in an And I Must Scream and stops thinking.
Rate up is a lie! Explanation During Gala Dragalia, the rate in which you get 5 star adventurers and dragons, whether they're new or duplicates, is increased especially with the chance to get the latest Gala adventurer. People feel like the rate is still the same regardless if they summoned on Gala Dragalia or after.
Fracktail's (literal) BSoD is common to bootstrap to Laxi in her berserk state, due to the latter having Robo Speak, in direct contrast to Mascula.
Thank You Mr. Lost Explanation A common positive reaction to the game by players.
This is now a Thank You Mr. Lost thread, show your appreciation by saying "Thank You Mr. Lost"
Mmm! So tasty! Explanation The sticker introduced for the Monster Hunter collab, which quickly was spammed like nothing else as soon as players figured out that Fatalis was an extremelygood source of Dragon Scales and Orbs.
Fatalis farts and destroys the universe/Fartalis Explanation A line from the story of the aforementioned Monster Hunter collab has Vanessa "not caring if [Fatalis] could fart and destroy the universe" and fans quickly latched onto it for the sheer Narm value of it.
Euden 'Party Boi' Alberia Explanation Because Euden is a party animal, People often call him this. It becomes an Ascended Meme in Dragalia Life #243.
Hello there...Explanation The sticker with Buff Luca has him saying this. Becomes an Ascended Meme in Dragalia Life374 when shirts with Buff Luca's face go on sale.
Ebin Chimera Explanation The weapons made from the new Ebon Chimera, the Shadow form of the Volcanic Chimera, are very underwhelming compared to their fiery counterpart, as Shadow's adventurers already have a multitude of ways to boost their strength, up to and including the Mana Spiral. For those of you that don't know, "ebin" is slang mainly used on 4chan to mean "this looks cool, but it really isn't," hence the joke.
We mustn't let Phraeganoth be revived! Explanation Loyalty's Requiem was the first raid event after the game's launch that introduced Celliera to the cast. Fans to this day bemoan that out of every event that's had a rerun in the (then) 18 months the game has been around, this one has yet to ever make a return, meaning that promise has been quite kept. This ended when it was announced that Loyalty's Requiem was finally returning after the second Fire Emblem event.
Tail Target the Explanation During the Loyalty's Requiem event, parties could tap on the Tail bar to tell everyone to attack that part, though the coding at the time was little to be desired. It had been fixed in future patches, but still gets remembered from those early launch players.
Golden/Silver Toilet Paper/I need toilet paper Explanation the Champion's Testament and Knight's Testament items, which happen to look like a golden or silver sheet of paper, respectively, are required for unbinding high-level mana spirals, and can only be obtained as Event rewards or a few each month from Treasure Trades. The addition of more mana spirals coincided with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, which, in America, led to massive shortages in toilet paper. The two events led fans to refer to Champion's Testaments as golden toilet paper and bemoan the shortage they were all going through. Thankfully, the update on March 27th gave players a steady stream of both papers via the Fafnir Medal exchange.
Oops! All (Character)s! Explanation A variation on the "Oops! All Berries!" meme, where the character is one that's commonplace on multiplayer endgame quests (e.g Xanias for High Midgardsormr, Pipples for High Brunhilda, Hawks for High Mercury, etc.)
I have spent billions of resources for twenty Wyrmite. Explanation Dragalia Lost's answer to the "I have committed several war crimes because [wacky reason]" meme, this is also used to mock how high-end goals require an insane amount of investment and farming in the game.
Welcome to [boss] pubs/pugs, anything with legs can clear/requirement: anything with legs. Explanation A phrase used to denote that a given endgame boss is easy enough that it can be consistently be cleared with "pubs" (short for public lobbies with random players) and/or doesn't need on-meta Adventurers to clear.
Everyone with pom-poms Explanation Refers to the shared skills feature where the character uses the same animation for the equipped skill as the original character. One of the shared skills is Emma's Pom-Pom Pump, where the character cheers for the party with pom-poms. Suffice to say, it has led to hilarious memes that are either adorable (i.e. Lily, Pipple, both versions of Sarisse, Noelle), or flatout ridiculous and silly (i.e. a lot of male characters).
(MSNAME) (MSTEXT)Explanation When the Timeworn Torment raid event was first released, the text coding was screwed up so badly that all of the new characters' names were written as (MSNAME_name) and all the dialogue eventually turned into (MSTEXT_etc.). This spectacular blunder caused people to sarcastically claim that the event's writing was an unparalleled work of art.
Euden you idiot. Explanation (spoiler warning!) Throughout the game, so many characters (Audric, Zena, Notte from an alternate future and Chrom) have specifically told Euden not to get possessed by the Other, and in all of his interactions, Euden says he would never do so. Come Chapter 14, he almost does exactly what everyone told him not to do. As a result, the fanbase has imagined just what the reactions would be of everyone if it did happen. Chrom gets a lot of focus with this, with fans jokingly saying that the crossover event only happened for Chrom to tell Euden not to be an idiot.
Cygames hates Water Explanation Ever since the release of Monster Hunter Sarisse, many fans were quick to notice how low the Water element damage output is. To put into perspective, when Phraeganoth event was reruned, the Omega 2 raid difficulty was so hard it's more convenient to take a Shadow team instead. While a good number of adventurers are generally released with Mana Spirals prior to their respective Agito fights, none of the Water adventurers were given Mana Spirals when Ayaha and Otoha was released barring three adventurers (Fjorm, Xainfried, and Celieria) and the said adventurers are considered suboptimal for this fight, making fans to believe that Cygames doesn't care about the Water element, or want players to pull for newer Water adventurers instead. Not helping the matter that the Water Agito weapon released grants the user a mere +12% critical rate buff as opposed to Shadow's increased attack rate or even Fire and Wind's increased strength. Thankfully, with the release of Version 2.0, this is now a Discredited Meme, as Water, together with Light, received tremendous buffs to their damage output, bringing them on par with the other elements.
I see no God up here...Other than me.Explanation A reskin of a meme featuring a cat sitting on a chimney, except it portrays Gala Cait Sith. This is used to show how, since she's Mars-level broken, she shatters the Shadow element even more than it was before, in addition to playing up her natural Cats Are Mean traits.
Why not use [element]? We got... Explanation A variation of a Pokémon meme, but with the most prominent Adventurers of a given element's meta. For particularly broken cases, such as Gala Alex, it's just the name of the Adventurer's skill(s) pasted several times over their picture, referencing how they sound like a Broken Record due to spamming their skills.
Go to horny jail Explanation Dragalia Life #266 has a panel of Summer Celliera hitting a fiend that's reminiscent of the "Go to horny jail" meme, and people edited it to portray as such.
It's popular to portray Kai Yan as a Racist Grandpa due to his age and theme of eliminating the weak.
Coat Rack Laxi Explanation Since Laxi was almost non-existent until Chapter 14 of the story, getting a fancy new Gala form soon after that, people explained her conspicuous absence from...well, everything by joking that she was being used as a coat rack or some other Mundane Utility.
ORAORAORAORA/ATATATATATATATExplanation Gala Thor's standard attack starts off at first as a one two punch and then goes into Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs that would be right at home keeping up with Star Platinum or Kenshiro.
Agito PTSD Explanation Defeating all of the Agito on Expert has them get together to discuss the group with Tartarus being Innocently Insensitive as he triggers their PTSD brought on by months of chronic beatdowns by the Halidom's many Game Breakers...and Pipple.
DAME DA NEExplanation Since Tartarus has become the new Agito Butt-Monkey, it's been a meme to combine the "Bakamitai" meme with him due to Actor Allusion. Even moreso since Chapter 20 Part 1 has Tartarus as the first Agito to die in-story.
EXPLOOOOOSION!Explanation Her second skill, Ancient Incandescence, has a long windup skill to use before coming down in a large, fiery explosion that has people thinking of her as the Dragalia version of Megumin.
"This hole was made for me!"Explanation Dragalia Life #289 has Ranzal lead Marty through a narrow alley as a shortcut, only for the two of them to get stuck inside of it. Cue plenty of Amigara Fault jokes.
Guns/Gun Alt Explanation A slip-up in the September 23 news post regarding changes to the weapon and wymrprint system accidentally leaked a possible new weapon type, the Manacaster—which based on the icon, as far as fans could tell, was essentially a gun. Soon reddits and discords were flooded with theories about which character(s) will receive a gun-wielding alt or be changed to gun-wielders entirely, photoshops of characters holding guns (often pointed directly at the viewer), and simple surprised cries of "Really? Guns?!"
Becomes Hilarious in Hindsight with the "Caged Desire" event since Joker's charged Force Strike is just that.
It's high noon.Explanation Ever since launch people have thought of Joe as the Dragalia version of Cassidy. It becomes even more apparent now that he has a manacaster alt.
Fuck Elysium. All my homies HATE Elysium! Explanation(spoilers) With Forgotten Truths revealing the true nature of the Holywyrm Elysium, and his actions resulting in the creation of Morsayati, many players who were once hyped about seeing him again immediately turned against him, demanding that they be allowed to kick his arrogant ass. They got their chance in Dawn of Dragalia, and again in Chapter 21. The line was quoted verbatum during The Quarter Guy's top ten events countdown, which added to the popularity.
Hey Elysium. Look at me.Bitch.Explanation(spoilers) The ending of Dawn of Dragalia reveals the reason Alberius was able to hurt Elyisum with the Sword of Dragalia is that the Pactstone isn't from Elysium and Ilia, it was from Midgardsormr Zero and Meene.
That's how Dragalia Works Explanation Since Forgotten Truths introduced Midgardsormr Zero, there have been memes made of what's essentially leveling Midgardsormr from his alts from Mini-Mids at level 1 to normal to High Mid to Zero at level 100 like the cringeworthy Mafia City ads. The joke was recycled with Notte's various forms.
Harle, the lovechild of Sandalphon and Belial. Explanation Harle bears a resemblance to the Primarch Sandalphon from Granblue Fantasy, while having the wicked and cruel personality of Belial from the same game, leading players of both games to joke that he's their child. The events of Chapter 18 give some credence to this.
There is 1 Imposter Among UsExplanation When Giovanni the opera whale was first revealed, most people thought because he's blue colored, he would be a water dragon until the Phantom's Ransom banner revealed he's a Shadow dragon instead.
What If It Was Purple?Explanation Aether's form in the Princess Connect Re:Dive raid is basically a shadow/purple version of Chronos. This can apply to any shadow version of a raid boss too.
What If It Was Green? Explanation A snowclone of the aformentioned meme, but applied to Gala Reborn Zephyr, which, gameplay-wise, is literally Gala Reborn Poseidon but for the Wind element.
Was that theBite of '87?!Explanation During Pecorine's reveal trailer where she takes a bite out of Pipple, people spliced in clips of Mark reacting to it like it was the Wham Episode from Five Nights at Freddy's 4 with the same bite sound.
We are Pog-ito Explanation Several DL voice actors were part of Caitlyn Bairstow's Among Us Twitch session and during one of those times, Deven Mack, better known as the voice of Volk, won as the last surviving Imposter.
Heavy Chelle Explanation In Chapter 17, Chelle uses a manacaster minigun to annihilate a gate in their way. The jokes pretty much wrote themselves. It was her weapon of choice hence her Gala Dragalia.
Cygames hates old ladies Explanation While the game features several elderly men that look old as playable characters, the same cannot be said for old women. When the game does add an old woman as a playable character, there will be an excuse that causes them to be Older Than They Look instead, like Cassandra using a spell or Yoshitsune having a combat form.
"Lemme see what you have there, Notte." "A KNIFE!" "NO!" Explanation The artwork for the Persona 5 crossover, Caged Desire, has Notte with a dagger which crosses over with a video of a mom freaking out at her son running with a knife. Becomes Hilarious in Hindsight in Chapter 18 when she gains an adult-sized form, which had the same dagger.
Mega Monarch Emile Reactions Explanation During "Caged Desire," if the opening is left on, it shows the party leader looking up at Monarch Emile's Shadow form and depending on who the adventurer is, the results can be hilarious from Akasha being a Nightmare Fetishist, Pipple being, well, Pipple to Pecorine already considering which part she's going to eat first. Compilation of all characters here.
The SomethingdomExplanation The official Dragalia Lost Discord has a general channel that changes names with each event. For example during Valentines Day, it will be called #valentines-dom.
AyahaAyaya and OtohaAyayaExplanation Two emojis in the Dragalia Lost Discord are based on the Ayaya meme though mirrored based on the Agito twins. Anytime something is posted with the two of them, both emojis are posted.
Twitch Streamer Mercury Explanation Mini Mercs was released as part of the game's 2.5 Anniversary Celebration. Her Dragon Story reveals that she spends her nights playing video games when she's not busy being the Team Mom, especially if Mini Mercs is her VTuber avatar.
Mommy Mercury/MILFcuryExplanation The Elementary Escapades event introduces Mercury's humanoid form, which plays up her motherly tendencies, and is very attractive. Even her own quotes have her think Jupiter is going througha phase.
ZA WARUDO!Explanation Chronos, and especially his One-Winged Angel form Chronos Nyx, frequently use Time Stands Still during his fights like DIO's Stand, The World. Especially in "Rage of Chronos" where he gets an Omega boss fight and drops down Bullet Hell.
OH NO, HE'S HOT!Explanation ChronosNyx was subject to a lot of this kind of attention in regards to his design, which got a huge resurgence upon him being revealed to be playable, his art having him in one of his showy poses and with his legs on display. For bonus points for those who preferred/liked his other forms, those two were also showcased in said artwork.
Alfonseposting Explanation Crossing over with the Chrisposting meme from Resident Evil where Chris Redfield plays a diehard Shipper on Deck and tries to get Leon Kennedy, then eventually Ethan Winters to impregnate his sister Claire to "continue the Redfield bloodline." Since the Fire Emblem: Kindred Ties crossover was made part of the event compendium on the same month Resident Evil Village was released, there are memes of Alfonse demanding Euden get with his sister Sharena to "continue the Askran bloodine."
I'm On a HorseExplanation When Nino was made part of the playable roster after "Blessed Bloodlines," her character portrait includes a horse. It didn't take long for people to compare her to the Old Spice guy. this fan art.
Dragalia Lost tweets invading unrelated topics on TwitterExplanation Due to Dragalia Lost currently lacking a Twitter topic, the fandom started to spot Dragalia tweets under topics like "Video games" and "Gaming". It went up to the point where the tweets are spotted in topics that have nothing to do with video games, such as "Marketing", "Business professions" and "Weather".
Lathna's FamilyExplanation Ever since the Accursed Archives when Lathna was taken into the Halidom, the fandom has made Heinwald and Curran her two gay dads. Stirring Shadows introduces Akasha and she's now the crazy aunt. Drifting Sorrows now adds Cleo to the Cool Big Sis role of the family.
Kojima Is GodExplanation The "Knights of Alberia" event introduced Cecile, a Shellshocked Veteran who would not only be the kind of soldier quickly fultoned to Mother Base, her Japanese voice actress also has an Actor Allusion having voiced Cecile Cosima Caminades
HaachamaExplanation(Chapter 21 spoilers) Part 2 of Chapter 21 has Zethia follow Nedrick to keep him from forming a pact with Bahamut, taking part of it for herself. Her switching from normal to Dragonshifted is like Akai Haato switching over to Haachama.
"Hundredfold summons! Who even does that?! We do, that's who!"Explanation This quote was originally uttered by Notte during the 3rd Anniversary Dragalia Digest; it has since been reappropriated for use in a meme dunking on Genshin Impact for its (paltry in comparison) anniversary rewards, as mentioned in Memetic Troll below. One has to wonder if the script-writer for the Digest did so knowing of said controversy.
Why are Water bosses so hot? Because they make you wet.Explanation A good amount of Water-element bosses are noted to be quite attractive. Mercury has a stunningly beautiful humanoid form, Ciella, the Water Agito, is Ms. Fanservice incarnate, and Iblis, the Water member of the Sinister Dominion, is a very handsome man.
When Surtr was introduced as the Flame member of the Sinister Dominion, memes regarding a rivalry between him and Fjorm—who already dealt with her game's version of Surtr—started to write themselves.
PMSExplanation Since High Midgardsormr's Trial was nicknamed HMS, Primal Midgardsormr's Trial is nicknamed PMS. (Un)fortunately, this is the same acronym used for premenstrual syndrome.
#VioRhyseAlberiaExplanation This hashtag went viral after March 22nd, 2022, when the game's end of service was announced, as a way to pay final respects to the game and its developers.
Xander is more or less portrayed as a reasonablelovable jerk, but his Off-Model appearance in Cleo's Ruse wyrmprint (lovingly referred to as Xunder) have the fandom portray him as a pervert instead.
Cupid gets this for being a Love Freak and his English voice sounding unsettling to some people.
Sha Wujing gets this from his own character story not only with his manner of speech, but also how he wants to disassemble Laxi after seeing she's an android, not to mention how his portrait looks very creepily close to touching her.
Halloween Akasha can be added to the list with her first appearance in "Postmortem Panic" looking very... predatory.
Due to the "ring-a-ling" quote, Lily is often depicted as this within the English speaking fandom despite the fact that she's often portrayed as a Cheerful Child and Nice Girl in many of Cygames's works. With the introduction of the Manacaster weapon in the 2nd anniversary, some fans even depict her wielding a gun.note Although the official Discord channel had an emoji that depicted Lily with a gun to highlight this status
With the introduction of Nyarlathotep, it's been a joke that the real horror or horrors all this time...is Maritimus, the Mascot Dragon!
Chelsea became this overnight with her introduction and Adventurer Story, drawing similarities to Yuno Gasai. The Castle Story "Till Death" makes it worse when she gets killed by a random bolt of lightning... and promptly tells death she will stab him if he gets between her and Luccy. Valentine Chelsea's portait puts it into Nightmare Face territory.
All of the dragons that are victims of Complacent Gaming Syndrome get this treatment by some, as since you'll see them online a lot, when all players are shapeshifted, it looks like the dragons are huddled around the boss and brutally beating it to death.
Unlike the below interpretation, since a Mana Spiraled Karina is a Game-Breaker against Ayaha and Otoha (among other things,) it's easy to make memes of her like an abusive stepmother, or like the twins are the younglings in Revenge of the Sith and Karina is Anakin Skywalker. These days, you're more prone to seeing Karina on the receiving end with Lilith dispensing the thrashing. Her reputation returned with a vengeance when it was revealed she could utterly thrash Surtr in a minute or less in spite of the Curse of Nihility.
Pipple is this in a lot of Water parties with his Critical damage building that people fear he would be even more dangerous if he ever got a Mana Spiral.
Halloween Melsa gained a reputation as a persistent, psychotic killer after Primal Midgardsormr's Trial was released, because one of Midgardsormr's moves is summoning a shadow Halloween Melsa who will instantly kill anyone who touches her.
Karina has gained a similar reputation as the Bazelgeuse, since she invades rooms like the latter invades hunts.
The Third Year Anniversary has Notte turn into one over rival gacha Genshin Impact. People have complained about Genshin being stingy with their 1st year anniversary bonuses while Dragalia is practically flooding new and old players with significant rewards. note It should be noted that Dragalia's 1st Anniversary has considerably more rewards than Genshin's 1st Anniversary, let alone Dragalia's 3rd to Genshin's 1st The troll comes from Notte lording over fellow fairy mascot Paimon. Even more so since Notte can enlarge herself.
Explanation (Chapter 22 spoilers)
