Mythic Phantoms are not meant to be rushed. They are designed as long-term power pieces that slowly grow in the background while you build your main team. If you understand how their systems work early, you can start stacking progress months before most players even realize what they should be doing.
Dragon Traveler Mythic Phantoms Guide – Rotation, Ticket
This is how you actually build them without burning your account.
Mythic Banner Rotation
The Mythic banner rotates every two weeks. Each rotation features a small pool of Mythic Phantoms that you can select and summon shards for.
You do not pull full heroes here. You pull shards.
It takes 60 shards to create one full Mythic copy.
This banner is where your Mythic journey starts.
Mythic Summon Tickets
Mythic summon tickets are your most valuable long-term currency. Always prioritize buying these from shops and grabbing them from event rewards.
For free-to-play and light spenders, your real goal is Red 1.
Red 1 takes 8 copies, which equals 480 shards.
On average, this requires around 300 Mythic summon tickets.
That is the most efficient power breakpoint before costs begin to rise sharply.
The Smart Way To Pull
You do not need to hard chase every Mythic rotation.
Dropping 10 tickets on each rotation is a very efficient strategy because it gives you the bonus 2 shards every time. Over months, this slowly builds extra Mythic copies in the background while you focus your main diamonds on SSR+ banners.
This method turns Mythics into passive progress instead of an account-draining grind.
Affection Farming
Once you obtain your first copy of a Mythic Phantom, a new system opens up.
Affection lets you farm that hero’s shards daily.
You can attempt shard farming twice per day.
By default, you can get up to 5 shards per day.
As you increase affection level, this increases to a maximum of 8 shards per day.
Before reaching high affection, shard drops are not guaranteed, so save gifts early and push affection levels as soon as your first Mythic copy is unlocked.
This is what slowly turns one copy into many.
Shard Farming Timelines
For comparison, here is what daily farming looks like:
SSR heroes take about 10 days to farm a copy.
SSR+ heroes take about 20 days to farm a copy.
Mythic heroes depend on your affection level, and early on the drops are inconsistent, so progress feels slow at first but accelerates later.
This is why starting early matters.
Golden Leaf Event
The Golden Leaf Event runs weekly and rewards you for summoning Monsters, Artifacts, and Dragon Language.
You should always aim to complete at least one full round each week.
One full round gives you 12 Golden Leafs to spend in the exchange shop.
If you cannot complete a full round, save your resources and wait for the next one.
Occasionally this event is replaced by the Shovel Event. Free-to-play players can skip it safely, though it becomes very valuable if you have spare diamonds because it can reward Golden Slimes.
Golden Leaf Exchange Tips
Mythic shards do appear in the Golden Leaf shop, but most of the time your Golden Leafs are better spent on high-value Monsters and Dragon Language.
Those upgrades increase your overall account power, which indirectly makes every mode easier, including the content where you will actually use your Mythics.
The Real Mythic Mindset
Mythics are not a sprint. They are background growth.
If you collect tickets weekly, drop 10 pulls per rotation, start affection farming early, and clear your Golden Leaf rounds consistently, you will quietly build powerful Mythics while most players are still wondering why they feel stuck.
That is how Mythics are meant to be built.
