Auto Battling, Loot Hunting and Idle Progression
Dark Ruins: Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin combines automatic combat, loot hunting and idle progression. Arrange your team and let your heroes face the hordes. Idle and offline rewards provide resources for their next upgrades.
Combine Gear and Shape Your Builds
Mix class skills, equipment affixes, relics and potions to create builds around poison, burning, freezing, lightning, summons, counterattacks, shields, ricochets or low-health bursts. Adapt your setup around key drops to give heroes different ways to fight.
Four Heroes Up Front, Reserves in Relay
Up to four heroes fight at once. Reserves take over when frontline heroes fall. Equip your main team and reserves, arrange their deployment order and keep your expedition moving.
