Destructoid has published a guide detailing the best equipment, stats and team compositions for characters in the mobile/PC game DragonSword: Awakening, aimed at players tackling the game's endgame content. The recommendations assume characters are fully awakened, since their passive abilities significantly influence which stats and gear are optimal.

The guide covers heroes including Johnny, Lute, a straightforward armour-breaking DPS character, Aria, Dana and Kalien, listing each one's ideal Karma choice, equipment sets (with the 3-piece Ruinsbreaker set recommended for most), main stat priorities, best runes and suggested teammates. General advice includes targeting roughly 80%/150% Critical stats and matching Additional Power, ATK Power Up and DEF Ignore substats to maximise damage output, though the builds do not assume maxed-out Karma or perfect runes.
