Getting your first dragon
Step
Your dragon lays eggs right in your yard. Walk over them to pick them up, then hatch one into any of nine species — ranging from a common Fire dragon to the legendary Sovereign. Once the egg hatches, fill the feeding trough and your dragon will start growing right away.
- Collect eggs walk over the eggs that appear in your yard to pick them up.
- Choose a species pick from nine different dragons when you hatch an egg.
- Fill the trough keeping the trough full is what drives growth.
- Interact with your dragon walk up to it and press F to have it lean into your hand.
The five growth stages
Summary
Feeding your dragon moves it through five distinct stages. Wings appear as your dragon matures, which is what opens up flying and scale collecting.
- Hatchling the starting form right after the egg cracks.
- Juvenile the second stage.
- Adult the third stage.
- Elder the fourth stage.
- Apex the fully grown final stage.
Genes and chasing a perfect dragon
Tips
Two dragons of the same species are never identical because each hatch rolls three gene values randomly.
- Each hatch rolls three genes: HP, ATK, and Egg — each landing somewhere between 0 and 6.
- A perfect dragon scores 18 total across all three genes, meaning 6 in each.
Earning coins in the arena
Check
Send your dragon to the arena and it will fight automatically, earning you coins. Because two rings run at the same time, you never have to wait in line.
- Your dragon fights on its own once it is sent.
- Two rings operate simultaneously, so there is no queue to sit through.
- Coins are earned as rewards.
- Scales can also fly off dragons during combat.
Flying and collecting scales
Step
Once your dragon has grown wings, you can mount it and take off toward the floating sky islands. Scales glitter across the islands and also fly off dragons in the middle of arena fights. Grab as many as your satchel holds, then return to the Smelter to convert them to coins right away.
- Only dragons that have grown wings can be flown.
- Sky islands float above the world and hold glittering scales.
- Pick up scales from the ground and from the air around fighting dragons.
- Return to the Smelter for an instant coin payout.
