Dungeons are areas in which you attempt to find the boss room and defeat the monsters you encounter on the way. Every new dungeon room that you enter reduces 1 fatigue point. If you enter with a party, EXP will be multiplied at the end and then split amongst all members.

Defeating the boss in the boss room will automatically finish the dungeon, all other enemies will count as defeated and give exp.

Dungeon Difficulty Settings

Only the normal difficulty level is initially unlocked when you gain access to a new dungeon. You must first meet certain requirements in order to unlock higher difficulty levels.

	Normal	Normal is the initial difficulty for all dungeons. To gain initial access to a dungeon you must reach the minimum level required, clear a prior dungeon, or accept a certain epic quest.
	Expert	Expert is the second available difficulty and can be unlocked simply by clearing the normal difficulty with any rank. Enemies gain a small boost in hit rate and HP while you have a small drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently.
	Master	Master is the third available difficulty and can be unlocked once you clear the dungeon's Expert mode with a B rank or higher. Enemies have a moderate boost in hit rate and health while you have a moderate drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear more frequently than on Expert.
	King	Expert is the fourth and presently highest difficulty for the NA version of DnF and is unlocked by clearing the dungeon's Master mode with a S rank or higher. Enemies have a large boost in hit rate and HP while you have a high drop in hit rate. Monsters with special effects will appear in nearly every room and sometimes even in groups.
-	Hell	Currently unavailable for the NA version.

Rewards

• After the boss is defeated two rows of reward cards that might contain gold and/or equipment will appear. The number of bosses and mini-bosses that were defeated are added up and increase the chance of receiving rare items along with the gold.
  • the player will have three seconds in which to choose one card from each of the two rows (a total of two cards, one regular, one gold).
    • the player can choose to only turn over one normal card or both the normal and gold cards.
  • There is one card in each row that contains nothing regardless of how many enemies are defeated.
    • The first row's cards are free. The second row requires a gold amount that varies depending on the dungeon and is listed on the card.
  • There is a possibility of obtaining rare equipment from the cards that are unavailable elsewhere.
    • See the Dungeon Drop Guide for information about dungeon locations that might drop items in the level range you are interested in.

Ranks

Your rank is calculated at the end of a dungeon through your stats of Style, Technique, and Hits. For Style and Technique, the higher your number, the better your rank. For Hits, it is the opposite; the lower your hit count, the better your rank.

Style

This score indicates how well you are able to pull off your attacks. The Style score increases when you successfully execute Combo Attacks, Aerial Attacks, and Dual Attacks. There are 70 total style points.

• Combo - (30 pts) Sustained damage inflicted on an opponent by stringing together a series of strikes in rapid succession.
• Aerial - (30 pts) Landing a strike while an enemy is in the air.
• Dual - (10 pts) Two or more players strike an enemy simultaneously. (When three players strike the same enemy simultaneously it is recognized as a Triple; when four, it’s a Quadruple.)

Technique

This score indicates the technical skill you use in combat. The Technique score increases when you successfully execute Overkills, Counter Attacks, and Back Attacks.There are 70 total technique points

• Overkill - (30 pts) When the death blow on a foe is more than 30% of his/her current HP.
• Counter -(30 pts) Attacking an opponent in the middle of his/her attack.
• Back Attack -(10 pts) Attacking an opponent from behind.

Hits

Every time an enemy successfully strikes you, it counts as a Hit. The lower your Hits at the end of a dungeon, the higher your rank, so it is advantageous to avoid taking damage not only because the blow on your HP, but it will also help increase your game rank. One thing worth noting here is that if you die in a dungeon and revive yourself with a Life Token, your Style and Technique scores will remain the same, but your Hits score will reset to zero. If you revive yourself during party play, your old hit count will be removed from the party’s total. For example, if you were hit seven times before dying, and party hit total is 50, upon revival, the seven hits you took will be removed, dropping the party’s total to 43.

End Dungeon Experience Bonus

At the end of every dungeon, players will receive experience. The base experience is the total experience from all kills from the dungeon; to this is added a percentage due to several possible bonuses (see below).
