Revision as of 09:58, 31 March 2018

«Divine Dragons Alliance» (聖竜連合(ディヴァイン・ドラゴンズ・アライアンス), Sei Ryū Rengō or Divain Doragonzu Araiansu^?, abbreviated as DDA) is «Sword Art Online»'s most active clearing guild. They are considered as one of the top clearing guilds in SAO. They have a one-sided rivalry with the «Knights of the Blood», since the DDA wish to hold the title of strongest guild in the death game. Unlike the KoB, they are secretive about information and have their own farming grounds. The DDA has more than twice as many members as the KoB.

Chronology

Aincrad Arc

They also insist on having the Last Attack on the boss during Floor clearing boss fights.

 ==Trivia==
-*It is likely that Lind is the actual leader of the guild, as he is a member of the DDA late on in the game, while he was one of the two leaders of the clearers early on in the game and started a guild, called the «Dragon Knights Brigade»<ref name="Concerto">Monochrome Concerto</ref>, with his party members after they reached the 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor. The name of the guild may indicate that it was an early form of DDA.
