It's gotten to be a little more fun for me now. I had leveled up my rift dragons when I first got them during the last event, so that was lucky.

My current strategy is in two phases.

Phase 1 was boring but seemed to be necessary. Each day in phase 1 go for habitats, then dragons, then habitat updates,  repeating each time buying whatever was less expensive (update or habitat) until I had 20  habitats each upgraded three times each full of dragons. Cleared clouds only when I needed the space for a new island. In this stage I sold the first two dragons each day unless they were ones that I needed, then kept all the others with rift traits, breeding up to the 1500/try stage each day. I fed most of the dragons to level seven.

Phase 2: once I had the 20 habitats all full of 3 dragons each Then I stopped upgrading habitats and started working on breeding the specific rift dragons that I am missing. (This is the part where it started to feel more fun again). If there's a dragon I need for breeding that day, I feed it up to level 11 before breeding if it isn't there already.

Also in phase 2 I started selling any duplicate new dragons that I got if they're just ordinary hybrids with a rift trait. So if I already had an ice dragon with the plant trait and I get another one, I just sell the new one. If the new Dragon is a combination I don't already have, I put it in the rift tower if there's no room in the habitats.

In Phase 2, If there's a dragon I'm going to need for breeding in the future and it's already at level 11, I move it over to the park and try to upgrade it with the dice rolls, then move it back to the rift when it is at level 16.

So in phase 2, I'm back to focusing on trying to get the new dragons, which is the part I like. It still seems too slow in terms of gathering enough food, but at least it's more interesting.

I don't have any good reason for why I built up to 20 habitats and then stopped, really I was just getting bored of clearing clouds!
