Dragonheart
Dragonheart is a Legendary sword from the Third Sea and the only sword in Blox Fruits that you craft instead of buying or getting as a drop. It has two moves: Z, a dragon that carries you and an enemy forward, and X, a huge fireball with a wide explosion, which you can hold for a bigger ring of flames.
It hits hard over an area and fits air PvP, but it is difficult to obtain. You craft it at the Dragon Hunter on Hydra Island.

Quick questions about Dragonheart
What moves does Dragonheart have?
Instinct-tricked means the target dodged the move anyway.
Dragonheart moves, mastery and Instinct
Three swipes, then a lunge on the fourth.
Summons a dragon that swirls along a zig-zag path while you lunge forward, carrying the enemy with you as the dragon burns and crackles like a lit fuse. The hitbox is bigger than the dragon itself, the dragon is easy to steer, it stuns, and it deals full damage even if it only connects on the last moment. Chaining a combo from it needs a good view of the target.
Raises the sword to form a large fireball like Flame's V, then launches it at the spot you aim at. It lands as a shockwave and fiery explosion with a trail of flames, for massive damage over a wide area, with a slight stun. It travels fast and has long range, which makes it useful against runners. It has end lag.
Held: your screen shifts red with floating embers, the ball grows larger, and a ring of flames around you damages enemies inside it. The explosion tends to stick to walls it touches.

How do you get Dragonheart?
Dragonheart is crafted, not bought or dropped. You unlock the recipe and the Dragon Egg through the Dojo belts, then craft it at the Dragon Hunter.
- Where: the Dragon Hunter stands in the Dragon Dojo on Hydra Island in the Third Sea. Choose Craft in his menu.
- To talk to him: reach 500 mastery with Dragon Talon and finish the Yellow Belt quest (Water Warrior) from the Dojo Trainer.
- To see the recipe: own the Red Dojo Belt.
- To get the Dragon Egg: own the Black Dojo Belt and the Dragon Tether ability. This is why you cannot craft the sword right after the recipe unlocks.
- Blaze Ember: choose Hunt at the Dragon Hunter. Killing a Hydra Enforcer or a Venomous Assailant spawns one. Breaking trees can also drop them, but not every tree gives one. The hunt quests never run out.

Dragonheart tips and tricks
- Hold X for more: holding it grows the fireball and adds a ring of flames around you; hold it fully for full damage.
- Land X after a setup move: it has end lag and can be Instinct-tricked, and in every chain above it comes after another move.
- Level it to 500 mastery for Draco V4: that lights one of the lamps on Hydra Island.
