Understanding Dragon Ball Spawns in Clover Retribution
In Clover Retribution, Dragon Balls are crucial artifacts for summoning powerful dragons that grant significant rewards. These coveted spheres don't appear in fixed spots but rather spawn in various predetermined locations across the map. Understanding the mechanics behind their appearance and knowing potential spawn points is key to successful farming.
Dragon Ball events have a low chance of occurring, making efficient searching vital. When an event triggers, a Dragon Ball Artifact will appear somewhere on the map, and players have a limited time to find it.

Key Dragon Ball Locations by Biome
Dragon Balls can appear in a wide range of areas, from lush forests to icy tundras. Knowing the general zones and specific spots within them will streamline your search efforts. Here's a breakdown of common areas where players have reported finding Dragon Balls.
Grasslands/Forest Area
This initial biome is often where players begin their hunt. While seemingly straightforward, the dense foliage can hide spheres effectively.
| Location Type | Specific Spots | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Open Field | Near large trees, along the riverbank | Often visible from a distance. |
| Forest Edge | Within small clearings, behind rock formations | Requires careful exploration. |
| Grassy Strip | Along defined paths or elevated terrain | Easy to spot if you follow the path. |
Dragon Balls have a limited despawn timer, typically around 10 minutes. Move quickly between known spawn points to increase your chances of collection.
Desert Biome
The desert offers a stark contrast, with more open areas but also tricky elevations and hidden corners.
| Location Type | Specific Spots | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sandy Dunes | On top of larger dunes, at the base of prominent rocks | Use elevation to your advantage. |
| Oasis Area | Around the water source, under palm trees | Look for unusual ground textures. |
| Village Outskirts | Near abandoned structures, behind the well | Check all corners of the village. |
| Shrine Area | On top of the small shrine structure | Often overlooked due to its elevated position. |
Clover Capital Area
The bustling capital might seem like an unlikely place, but it holds a few potential spots.
| Location Type | Specific Spots | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| City Walls | Adjacent to the main walls, near entrance gates | Check both inside and outside the walls. |
| Specific Trees | Next to unique, prominent trees within the capital | These are usually landmarks. |
Tundra Region: Advanced Farming Routes
The Tundra is known for having a high concentration of Dragon Ball spawn points, making it a prime target for experienced farmers. However, its vastness and complex terrain require a structured approach.
Initial Tundra Entry Points
Upon entering the Tundra, check the immediate area. There are often 1-2 spawn points right at the entrance, particularly near the first ice wall or patch of dirt.
Leftward Path Exploration
After checking the entrance, turn left and follow the path past any visible Yetis. This route often leads to a series of hidden spots.
Navigating the Obby Section
The Tundra contains an 'Obby' (obstacle course) with several concentrated spawn points. Successfully traversing this section can yield 4-5 Dragon Balls if you're lucky.
Village and Beyond
After the Obby, proceed towards the Tundra village. Check the roofs of buildings and the area just beyond the village, including a small lake.
The Tundra biome is estimated to have over 10-11 known spawn points, making it one of the most rewarding areas for Dragon Ball hunting.
Tundra Specific Spawn Points
| Location Type | Details | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance | Near the first ice wall, next to a dirt patch | High |
| Rocky Outcrop | On top of a prominent rock to the left of the entrance | Medium |
| Obby Sections | Multiple spots within the obstacle course (4-5 potential) | Very High |
| Village Roofs | On the rooftops of houses in the Tundra village | Medium |
| Beyond Village | Past the village, near a small lake | Low-Medium |
| Random Patches | Various isolated spots along the main paths | Low |
Summoning Dragons and Rewards
Once you've diligently collected seven uniquely numbered Dragon Ball Artifacts (1 through 7), you can head to The Wishing Well to summon a dragon. The Wishing Well is located in the Long Forgotten Tower region, at the edge of the map. There are three distinct dragons, each requiring a specific type of Dragon Ball Artifact and offering different rewards.
Dragon Types and Artifacts
| Dragon Name | Required Artifacts | Summon Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Pyrrhix | Dragonball Artifacts (1-7) | Easiest |
| Verdagon | Superior Dragonball Artifacts (1-7) | Moderate |
| Maligon | Corrupted Dragonball Artifacts (1-7) | Hardest |
Ensure all seven artifacts are different numbers (1-7). Having duplicates of the same number will prevent you from summoning a dragon.
Dragon Rewards Comparison
| Reward Type | Pyrrhix Dragon | Verdagon Dragon | Maligon Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | 15,000 | 35,000 | 50,000 |
| Elixir of Growth | x1 | x3 | x5 |
| EXP | 12,000 | 35,000 | 50,000 |
| Magic Mastery | 10,000 | 18,000 | 30,000 |
| Weapons Mastery | 10,000 | 18,000 | 30,000 |
| Special Item | Flying Cloud | Drakeheart Battlegarb | Voidsteel Arcanum |
| Race Unlock | N/A | Kynthari | Legendary Kynthari |
| Grimoire Upgrade | N/A | N/A | 4-Leaf Grimoire |
