FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Natsu Guide: Best Builds, Gear, and Teams for Natsu (Dragon Force)​

FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Artwork 5

Natsu [Dragon Force] is one of the strongest DPS units in FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle, excelling in story, bosses, and Arena thanks to high normal‑attack damage and powerful Burn‑based skills. Building him correctly means stacking ATK, Crit, and Burn uptime, then pairing him with supports that keep him alive and amplify his damage.​​

Natsu [Dragon Force] is a ranged UR damage dealer built entirely around Burn and follow‑up damage.

Stat and build priorities

PriorityWhat to focus onReason
1ATK and Crit Rate/Crit DamageDirectly scales his high normal‑attack and skill damage.​​
2Skill damage / ultimate boostsIncreases the impact of his Burn‑inflicting AoE ultimate.​​
3Survivability (HP/DEF) as a secondaryEnough to avoid random deaths, but focus remains on damage.

General build tips (from global UR evaluations and common DPS builds):

  • Prioritise offensive stat lines on gear and cards over defensive ones, as Natsu DF is meant to be a primary carry.​
  • Level and skill‑up Natsu ahead of lower‑tier DPS; tier lists treat him as a long‑term, safe investment.

Specific named sets are still evolving, but early builds converge on high‑ATK, crit‑focused offensive gear.​​

Gear guidelines

SlotRecommended focusNotes
WeaponHigh ATK, Crit Rate / Crit DamageBiS is any UR weapon with heavy ATK and crit sub‑stats.
ArmourATK with some HP/DEFSlight bulk so he does not get one‑shot in front‑heavy fights.
AccessoriesCrit / skill damage / ultimate boostFurther amplifies Burn‑powered skills and ult.

Use the game’s power arrow to equip upgrades; tier lists and beginner guides stress equipping pieces that raise overall team power, especially on main carries like Natsu DF. If you have bond cards that increase ATK, crit, or fire‑type damage, prioritise those on your account because they indirectly buff Natsu too.​​
