brigandine abyss all factions: Story & Leader Guide

BRIGANDINE ABYSS presents six factions, each with a separate perspective on the crisis spreading across the continent of Meltitea. Instead of selecting only a preferred army, players choose a story route shaped by its ruler, homeland, allies, and relationship with the New Empire. Every faction also commands monsters, making its identity important for both narrative atmosphere and strategic planning.

The official faction names use localized spellings such as Gran Dragnica, Mysteine, Purifanoe, and Pandemyuon. Some community discussions use alternate spellings, including Grand Dragoonica, Mistine, Piorad Fiann, and Pandaemon. This guide follows the official naming presented by NIS America while noting recognizable themes from the available character material.

The six factions differ sharply in tone. Gran Dragnica explores the bond between humans and dragons, while Scarlet Will follows a mercenary band committed to protecting common people. Mysteine represents inherited responsibility, Purifanoe introduces a secluded fairy refuge, Samura Village focuses on clan loyalty, and Pandemyuon examines the consequences of treating living beings as research materials.

Gran Dragnica

Gran Dragnica is located in the Dragonhowl Greatlands, a barren region where dragons live alongside the human tamers who capture and raise them. It is less a unified kingdom than a mutual-aid organization formed by communities surviving in the wastes.

Largo, a young dragon tamer, rises to prominence while attempting to rescue dragons taken and brainwashed by the New Empire. His leadership is closely tied to the Moonlight Claw Shell and to his belief that humans and dragons can build a future together. Wise, a young white dragon, serves as his partner, while Laurie represents the personal and economic cost of Largo’s growing success.

Scarlet Will

Scarlet Will is a righteous mercenary band that travels through the southwestern grasslands with sacred unicorns. Because its members routinely help ordinary people, the group is viewed as heroic across many regions.

Garnet becomes the band’s new leader after her father, known as the Scarlet Fist, and much of their force are lost. She takes in remnants of Solgynath and prepares for a counterattack against the New Empire. Jadeite supports her as a strategist and trusted childhood friend, while Trisha, a fallen princess of Solgynath, gradually places the protection of people above her former royal position.

Mysteine

Mysteine is a small queendom founded by Lunadia, the legendary sorceress associated with the creation of the Brigandine and the defeat of the old empire. The realm carries a long-standing responsibility to watch over the continent and preserve order during times of crisis.

Queen Misphian leads the kingdom while struggling with the failure of her diplomatic efforts. General Zeilzarde, commander of the queen’s knights, shields her during the Absalom coup and continues fighting despite the effects of a powerful curse. Crown prince Crest represents the next generation of Mysteine’s guardianship and must grow into a responsibility he does not yet feel prepared to carry.

Purifanoe

Deep within the Greatwood lies Purifanoe, a hidden village inhabited by fairies. The village is difficult to enter by choice, and time passes differently inside its borders. A few days in the village may correspond to several months beyond it, giving the faction an unusual relationship with memory, aging, and the outside world.

Alysbelle is a young human girl raised among the fairies who believes she belongs to their kind. As the New Empire’s invasion intensifies, she leaves the village with her fairy companions and searches for a sealed door connected to her lost memories. Popolina and Pipiluca act as protective older-sister figures, balancing strong will and careful observation.

Samura Village

The Samura are a warrior tribe living on an isolated island east of the continent. Their culture values direct strength and spirited combat. However, the clan is being pushed back by the rival Shugen clan because it lacks experience with complex tactics and schemes.

Saya becomes the new chieftain after her father, Totetsu, falls ill. She must defend her homeland while investigating signs that one of her comrades may be connected to the New Empire. Kichi serves as her strategist and advisor, while Mamon works as an intelligence gatherer whose cheerful clumsiness hides serious responsibilities.

Pandemyuon

Pandemyuon is a secret organization connected to the New Empire and dedicated to the forbidden art of Chimeraization. Its researchers combine parts from different monsters to create new life forms, treating both monsters and humans as experimental materials.

TYPE-F is a boy created as a weapon who retains an aversion to killing. His encounter with a sacred maiden begins to change his view of himself and the orders imposed on him. Dr. Pouge directs the research, while TYPE-S, TYPE-F’s older sister, has been transformed into a combat-focused chimera with little visible connection to her former human identity.

The faction selection screen should be approached as a story and command-style decision. The available material confirms that every route involves strategic monster command, but it does not provide a complete unit roster or numerical balance chart. For that reason, the safest comparison is based on each faction’s narrative identity, leadership structure, and stated battlefield culture.

How to Choose a First Route

Use the following priorities when selecting a starting faction:

• Choose Gran Dragnica if dragon relationships and a survival-focused homeland appeal to you.
• Choose Scarlet Will if you prefer a resistance story built around protecting civilians.
• Choose Mysteine if ancient history, royal duty, and continental protection are the main draw.
• Choose Purifanoe if you enjoy mystery, fairy culture, and character memories.
• Choose Samura Village if you prefer clan politics, martial values, and investigation.
• Choose Pandemyuon if you want the darkest route and a story about identity under control.

The leaders define each route, but their companions reveal how each faction functions internally. Several groups pair a public ruler with a trusted strategist, protector, or emotionally important ally. These relationships create useful contrasts when comparing the six stories.

Character Dynamics to Watch

Gran Dragnica: Largo and Wise embody the human-dragon bond at the center of the route. Laurie adds a grounded perspective through her connection to the dragon-taming community and the consequences of Largo’s rise.

Scarlet Will: Garnet’s devotion to ordinary people can become emotionally difficult for her, which makes Jadeite’s quiet support especially important. Trisha adds a second leadership perspective as someone who abandons a fallen royal identity to serve a broader cause.

Mysteine: Misphian and Zeilzarde represent two sides of responsibility: political leadership and personal protection. Crest extends that conflict into the future, as the young crown prince must prepare to become the next guardian.

Purifanoe: Alysbelle’s relationship with Popolina and Pipiluca is central to the faction’s mystery. The two fairies protect her while also carrying knowledge about the memories she has begun to recover.

Samura Village: Saya depends on Kichi’s strategic advice and Mamon’s intelligence work. Their closeness is complicated by secrets that may affect the clan’s future.

Pandemyuon: TYPE-F’s independent conscience contrasts with Dr. Pouge’s pursuit of an ultimate life form. TYPE-S provides the tragic counterpart to his rebellion, showing the human cost of Chimeraization.
