Chapter 1

Dragon Breeding

This chapter explains all the rudiments of breeding, be it enchanted breeding, DOTMs or DOTWs.

If you want to figure out which combinations to use for breeding dragons, on your own then keep reading.

1. For breeding a 3-element dragon, ensure that the element whose breeding time is the shortest is the base dragon. Eg. For the Blueflame dragon, you need Water, Fire and Void elements. As fire has the shortest breeding time, the combination to use is Fire + Rain/Jaws.

2. However, the above can change at times due to presence of incompatible elements. Eg. for breeding the Bronze dragon, Shadow+Yeti or Light+Reaper is the best combination because to breed a Light-Shadow dragon (Emperor) you need 2 hybrid dragons.

Breeding

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. Upon trying to breed regular dragons, you must ensure that your dragons have all the elements that the desired dragon has. Eg. If you want to breed the Blueflame, your dragons must have the Void, Fire and Water elements.

2. Levels play a big role in breeding, higher the levels, higher the chance to breed rare dragons.

3. Bi-Elemental rare dragons can only be bred when both the parent dragons are hybrids.

4. Elements can only be passed down when the level upon which the user unlocks them has been reached. Eg. If you have an Echo dragon, but your player level is 28, the Echo will not pass down the Shadow element upon breeding until your player level is high enough to unlock the shadow element.

Please note that these DOTMs are subject to change, this table is simply to show the current trends.

Breeding

CERTAIN RULES

1. For Dragon of the Weeks (DOTWs) and Enchanted Breeding dragons the combination listed in game must be used.

2. The above rule doesn’t apply for Dragon of the Months (DOTMs).

3. To unlock enchanted breeding dragons you need to level up your breeding den using enchantment trinkets. The parents of enchanted breeding dragons must be enchanted to a certain level- listed in game.

4. DOTMs and DOTWs can only be bred at limited occasions.

5. For breeding DOTMs, both your dragons must have the 4 elements listed. Hence, the best combo is to use the base dragon of the element with the lowest breeding time and breed it with an epic having the remaining elements. Level 15+ dragons are recommended.

Chapter 2

Battles

This chapter tells you some tips and tricks for battling and the best dragons to use.

Your team should preferably have Divine or Legendary dragons, however Shadow and Light epics are also fine.

Some noteworthy elements other than Divine and Legendary are-Plant, Light, Shadow, Fire, Wind and Energy.

The best dragons in DML are-

1. Taiyi-Zhenren (Has less attack than Chang’e but better elements are higher health)

2. Chang’e (Highest Attack in DML)

3. Sumo (Light-Shadow legendary) and Zeus (Has higher attack than Sumo, but arguably worse elements)

4. Plushie/Wraith (High attack)

5. Autumn (Double Damage over Time (DOT))

Notable Mentions are- Lantern/Torch (Double Area Of Effect (AOE)), Berry and Pixie Dot.

The Best Epic Dragons in DML are-

1. Horn (Highest attack, decent health, good elements)

2. Rocker (Highest attack, lower health and worse elements than Horn)

3. Blackberry/Empress (High attack, Double DOT); Butterfly (High attack, good elements)

4. Kongming (Double AOE)

5. Stardust (Best health:attack ratio)

Notable Mentions- Sunrise, Sentinel, Tiger (Double AOE+DOT) and Bronze.

Battles

The Best Dragons to Use

6

Fire- Damages all targets. Hot Coals damages targets again if any target is defeated by the attack, while Slow Burn causes the main target to be damaged over time.

Both are good, Hot coals is better for late game as it helps is one-shotting, and Slow Burn is better for bosses and mid-game.

Wind- Damages opponent and lowers opponents attack strenth. Storm’s a brewin’ lowers all targets attack, Last Breath lowers opponent’s attack for a longer time.

Storm’s a brewin’ any day is better than Last Breath

Water- Heals an ally by a huge amount and other allies by a smaller amount. Restorative Recourse removes negative effects while Regeneration heals an ally over time.

Restorative Recourse is more viable as it cures DOT.

Earth- Absorbs damage. Tombstone makes the shield last longer for 1 ally while stone cold prevents an ally from dying for 1 turn

Stone Cold anyday.

Plant- Deals DOT. Pandemic makes DOT last longer while Infection inflicts DOT on all opponents if one opponent dies while inflicted with infection.

Infection is DOT+AOE, what more could you want?

Battles

SOME THINGS TO NOTE

1. Mastery skills are the skills unlocked at the level 6 Academy.

2. Skills of a particular element can only be used by a dragon of that element.

3. Which skill to choose is entirely your own opinion, but I hope to share some info to help you make a decision.

4. I have listed info on the skills, but not in detail, along with my opinion on them.

Mastery Skills

7

Energy- Deals damage to 2 opponents with a chance to damage all opponents. Power of Thunder has a 25% chance of stunning opponent while Burnout removes opponent’s positive effects.

Burnout has a 100% chance on removing positive effects, hence it is better.

Metal- All allies retaliate when damaged. En Garde absorbs damage, while Final Vengeance damages all opponents when the ally with the primary aura is killed.

Final vengeance, as the amount of damage absorbed by En Garde is minute.

Void- Pay it Forward heals all allies, when an opponent is damaged, while Dark Ritual heals the attacker a lot when the opponent is defeated by this skill.

Dark Ritual is more situational, but heals by a massive amount; Pay it Forward heals very minutely. Up to you.

Shadow- Deals DOT. Shade of oneself lowers opponents attack while Frightened Speechless may prevent the opponents skill from working.

Shade of oneself is too weak compared to Frightened Speechless’s amazing effect.

Light- Deals AOE. Healing Light heals all allies while Dazzling Aura is a skill that is constantly active and can stun an opponent.

Dazzling Aura as its a passive skill and Healing light heals very little.

Legendary- It is an active offensive skill that inflicts triggering damage for two turns. Heroic Healing heals the caster when the opponent is damaged; Heroic Duel damages opponent when the caster is damaged.

Both are good, Heroic Duel is situational.

Divine- Buffs attacks and Health of an ally. Great Blessing buffs an ally massively for 3 turns; Mass Blessing buffs all allies for 1 turn.

Your divine dragon is probably your best dragon, so you also want him to attack. Hence, Great Bless is far better.

1. To progress in the campaign map, hire you friend’s dragon. Also have a dragon with Stone Shield. This way, you can 3- star the battle. To do this upgrade the portal and activate VIP.

2. Blue Map fights give a tonne of Food and EXP, so keep doing them. They are also pretty easy.

3. Boss fights that can be 3 starred- do Mini if you can- give a whole lot of EXP, helping you level up.

4. Conquering mines isn’t very useful, so do them only when your clan quest makes you.

5. Only 1 auto battle ticket is used in Heroic Mode as compared to 2 portal energies, hence save your tickets for the Heroic Mode.

6. Before a very tricky fight, train you dragon, Activate Striker for extra damage or Gravelis for extra protection.

Some Tips

Chapter 3

Events

These are some tips and tricks that will hep you progress through the event. These come from various sources including guides made by Yoni and co. as well as video tips from Quackalakes.

From the DML Wiki

Arcade Events are limited-time events introduced in Update 2.9 in which players must give various items to their Dragons in order to earn points. These items are given through one to three different tubes which must be refilled through a specific currency. There are four Dragons that appear on the screen, each requesting three items, and the items given to them all need to match those that that particular Dragon wants. If the player does not have matching items for any of the Dragons, they can choose to trash all of them, an action that is free of charge, but will empty all the tubes and need to be refilled again. The tubes also must be refilled after all items provided by them were used up and a tube will give three items. Once a Dragon has received all the requested items, a new Dragon will appear. The player can also choose to swap any of the current Dragons with another through the button. Refreshing is free and will take 60 minutes.

The points obtained from giving items to Dragons are added to the player's score. The players are randomly placed in a group of 50 where the top player will receive the main prize of the event. A minimum score of ten is needed to qualify for the grand prize,

namely the leaderboard prize. The player will also earn several prizes from the milestone.

According to DML Wiki-

Castle Events are limited-time events introduced in Update 2.1 in which players earn prizes and rewards progressing through the different levels of the maze. Players must first earn a specific currency doing various tasks throughout Dragolandia. Players will enter an available level and spend that currency to progress through the map of that level in order to reach different destination rooms. Each progression on the map will reward the player with different items (such as Food or Gold) or present them with a battle. The destination room will have a chest to purchase with currency which will offer greater prizes. There is a certain limited amount of currency that can be earned within a period of time that resets every certain hours. The limit increases, after the next reset, every time a level is completed.

The total tile progression cost of a level is distributed among the different paths inside it. Battles can be fought normally with no cost or can be won instantly in exchange for a certain cost. If a battle is lost, the player can purchase the instant win or wait a certain time before they can attempt the battle again. Each level contains a number of chests. One of the chests will hold a and the remaining chests will each hold a Dragon Piece for a limited Card-Segment Dragon. The position of the key is random and can be obtained from

any chest. Once a key is obtained, the player can advance to the next level without having to open other chests. Opening all the chests is necessary to obtain the Card Dragon, but not to advance to a new level.

The level of the enemy Dragons encountered in battles is calculated when the player joins the event and not during the event. Thus, selling or leveling a Dragon while the event is running will have no impact upon the levels of the opposing Dragons.

The Boss Challenge, present during divine events, consisted of a series of battles, similar to Castle Events, from which players won various rewards. Specific battles, when won, gave players Divine Tickets. After a battle had been won, the player had to wait a defined time before proceeding to the next one. The same amount of hours had to be waited in case the battle was lost. The waiting time could be skipped in exchange for Gems.

Castle Events and Boss Challenge

According to DML WIKI-

Introduced in Update 1.1, Solo Events are limited-time events that each player participates in separately. They are based on completing several tiers each having three set goals with different requirements with a different prize awarded upon completing each tier. Each goal has a number of items that need to be collected in order to be completed. Items are limited to a set number per a given timeframe and a cooldown period is needed before being able to collect more. Whenever items are received, a notification is shown in the middle of the screen. If all the available items for that time period have been collection, the notification will indicate how much time is left until the next item can be collected again. Each individual item can also be bought in exchange for a certain sum of Gems.

To Note-

Keep checking the DML wiki when a solo event starts, as it adds a page for the event that has maximum pools, reset time and other useful info written on it.

For example, check out the Cold Runnings Solo event page-

Introduced in Update 1.6, Faction Events are events in which players will have to choose a side when joining the event. The player has to battle in the arena and obtain score points.

Once a side is chosen, it basically behaves the same way as a normal event works, but with each player’s score also counting toward their faction score. At the end of the event, the losing side gets a consolation prize while the winning side receives a bigger prize. In addition, players on a certain position will receive an individual prize.
