Fast answer

Upgrade Dragon Cannelloni to SS before evolving so you do not face the more expensive post-evolution rank route. For each Necro Dragon Cannelloni attempt, the video uses 15 Stardust Clusters, 3 each of Refined Fire, Water, Grass, and Ice Gems, then fills the remaining eight recipe slots with those gem types to raise the shown chance from 13% to about 20%. Once Necro Dragon is obtained, Necro Hydra Tortelloni uses 25 Challenge Prisms plus 20 of every refined gem type for a shown 100% final recipe.

Use the video as the walkthrough, then use these notes as the practical checklist.

Take Dragon Cannelloni to SS before evolving

Cyclone9 starts by completing the S-to-SS upgrade while the monster is still Dragon Cannelloni. The practical warning is that postponing SS until after evolution changes the required rank materials and makes the route more expensive, so finish the rank upgrade before spending evolution resources.

Farm Stardust Clusters before rolling Necro Dragon

Each recorded Necro Dragon Cannelloni attempt consumes 15 Stardust Clusters. Cyclone9 identifies the Spire Shop as the consistent source in this route, with the stock resetting weekly, so this material is the main time gate before repeated attempts.

  • Plan for more than one attempt instead of farming only 15 clusters.
  • Check the Spire Shop after its reset before spending Dungeon Tokens elsewhere.
  • Keep Reversion Potions ready because an unwanted evolution must be reverted before another try.

Use the Necro Dragon Cannelloni recipe shown in the video

The recorded attempt starts with 3 each of Refined Fire, Water, Grass, and Ice Gems. Cyclone9 then fills the eight remaining recipe slots with those same eligible gem types, raising the displayed Necro Dragon chance from 13% to roughly 20%. Ground is deliberately excluded from this first recipe route.

  • Special material per attempt: 15 Stardust Clusters.
  • Base refined gems: 3 Fire, 3 Water, 3 Grass, and 3 Ice.
  • Chance boost: fill the remaining eight slots with the recipe's eligible refined gems.

Expect misses and use pity progress

Several attempts land on Fire Dragon instead of Necro Dragon Cannelloni. Cyclone9 reverts after each miss and continues until the displayed pity-enhanced chance reaches 37%, when Necro Dragon finally succeeds. The result shows why the route should be budgeted as a sequence of attempts rather than a single roll.

Prepare the guaranteed Necro Hydra Tortelloni recipe

After obtaining Necro Dragon Cannelloni, the final evolution screen shows a 100% recipe requiring 25 Challenge Prisms and 20 of every refined gem type, including Ground. Cyclone9 has the gems but finishes five Challenge Prisms short, so the video explains the final checklist without falsely claiming the evolution was completed.

  • Challenge Prisms can appear through the Daily Dungeon, event rewards, and crafting routes shown in the game.
  • Stardust Clusters also matter for crafting additional Challenge Prisms.
  • Do not start the final step until all 25 Prisms and every refined-gem stack are ready.
