Since it doesn't return the Elementals Terra or Metal, it suggests that the game doesn't care which order the elements are in. As we discussed in the previous section about Elementals though, in that case we'd expect the game to return the corresponding Elementals. If the order did matter, then when using a level < 15 for any of the parents the game would try to find a breedable (Metal, Terra), and find no Hybrids which matched. If you use Flaming Rock and Platinum when both are level 15 or higher, then you could also get Treasure (Metal, Terra) and Ice&Fire from that combo! This is because Treasure and Ice&Fire are both Rare Hybrids and Level Exclusives.Īn interesting note, the results of that combination hint that the order of elements doesn’t matter in this regard. You could get the Rare Hybrids Soccer (Ice, Flame), Cool Fire (Flame, Ice), or Armadillo (Terra, Metal) from that combination. For instance, Flaming Rock (Terra, Flame) can breed with Platinum (Metal, Ice) even though Terra and Metal are opposite elements, as are Flame and Ice. You can breed opposite elements with each other as long as they are in Hybrids. This is the most common method used, and is pretty simple. There are two methods to breeding Rare Hybrids … Breed Rare Hybrids using Hybrid Parents This means that Leviathan is a Rare Hybrid. (See list above for which Elements are opposite each other.) For instance, Sea is opposite of War, and so the Elementals Sea and War cannot breed with each other directly. Rare Hybrids are those dragons which have 2 elements which are opposed to each other. For now, just know that you can always use Elementals (or any other dragon) to breed Hybrids, but can’t use Elementals to breed Rare Hybrids except in special cases. There’s not much more to it than that! Other than the exception for Rare Hybrids that is … We will go over that in the next section though. To breed Hybrid dragons, simply ensure that the elements that comprise the Hybrid dragon are present in the parents, and that at least one of the elements can come from each parent. The breeding system in regards to Elementals is actually more complicated than it is for Hybrids, so this should be a rather easy section. It’s not yet clear whether this is a bug or as intended … but it’s certainly frustrating for a lot of people. (Currently, only Pure + War, and Pure + Light are missing.)Ĭurrently when breeding the new Light and War dragons some people are still getting a lot of War and Archangels even when there is a valid hybrid dragon that can be returned. Pure, War, and Light are the only Elementals that can be returned this way, as in every other possible breeding combination there is a valid result. It will be a 50:50 split (or close to it). Instead, the game will return either Pure or War from that breeding pair. It will be an Elemental corresponding to the element used in that specific combination.įor instance, breeding Pure + War can result in no hybrid dragons as there is no dragon with both Pure and War elements yet. If a combination of elements from the parents results in no possible dragons, an Elemental can be returned. This is by far the most common way that Elementals are bred. So for instance, Flaming Rock + Volcano could return Flame, Terra, Flaming Rock, or Volcano. If their corresponding element is present in both parents then the Elemental is a possible result. This is especially important and confusing when breeding the new Light and War dragons, which seem to return a lot of Archangels and War dragons!Įlementals can be bred in 2 ways … Method 1 for Breeding Elementals This can help you plan your breeding of other dragons to minimize the number of Elementals you get. It is important to know how to breed Elemental dragons though, so as to understand why they show up sometimes, but not others.

The price of the habitat matters a lot in regards to Elemental dragons, because they can only be housed in habitats of their element. Light, War, and Pure dragons may be easier to obtain via other methods though, given how expensive they are, as well as how expensive their habitats are. While you can breed Elementals, in most cases they will be purchased from the Build Menu for Gold. Pure and Legend elements do not have opposites. They cannot breed together with their opposite element. The others Terra, Flame, Sea, Nature, Electric, Ice, Metal, Dark, Light, War, and Pure are all available for purchase using Gold.Įlemental dragons form the base of the breeding hierarchy. Legend is the only single element that isn’t represented as a Elemental in this manner. The Elemental dragons are those which have only one element and can be purchased for Gold in the Build Menu. It is current as of Februand the principles described here are how the Breeding Calculator and How to Breed pages function. This is an in-depth description of the breeding system in Dragon City.
