Dragons of War is a Breath of Fire III crossover card expansion for the GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. mobile card battle game, TEPPEN which released on July 1, 2021.
Announced on June 18, 2021 via the official TEPPEN Twitter account, Dragons of War introduces new character cards, a Nina EX Skin for Jill Valentine, an updated Chronicles mission showcasing the Nina EX Skin, and a story that reimagines events from Breath of Fire III while incorporating characters from Monster Hunter Riders, and Mega Man X. As such, the events of Dragons of War take place outside of the main timeline of the Breath of Fire series. Both the trailer and the Chronicles mission feature a remix of Battle for Tomorrow, the boss theme from Breath of Fire III.
On July 4th, a Nina Hero Skin for Jill Valentine was released and can be randomly awarded when the game's Anniversary Pack 1 is purchased from the TEPPEN shop with crystals, the game's paid currency. This Nina Hero Skin includes unique special moves, or Hero Arts, entitled "Bonds of Trust", "Charm", and "Meditation". Nina is voiced by Abby Trott in the game's English release, with Kyoko Hikami, who has voiced Nina since Breath of Fire III, reprising her role in the Japanese version. This marks the first time that a Breath of Fire character was given an official English voice actor.
Story[]
"Hundreds of years ago lived the Brood—a race of dragons with world-rending power. Fearing their strength, a goddess condemned them. She ordered the extermination of the Brood. The goddess imbued an ancient sword with unimaginable power. She entrusted that power to a masked knight and bade him drive the Brood to the brink.
Humans who coexisted with the Brood, known as Riders, took up arms against the goddess. However, those Brood possessing sentience gave no resistance, and laid down their lives. Seeing this, a guardian tasked with the Brood's extermination began to doubt his mission.
As the sentient Brood neared extinction, a boy was born. He was Brood, through and through. Moved by the boy's bonds with his comrades, the troubled guardian led him to confront the goddess.
...Did the Brood truly have to be destroyed?
At the end of their long journey, the truth will finally be revealed."
