I think I see your point. We are looking at it with different assumptions.

If I breed a Flower rift (Metal Trait) + Poison rift (Air Trait), Chrome or Meteor (or Ironwood, Smoke, etc.) are "not" possible outcomes. Following the same logic if you want a Current Dragon it is not enough to use a Water rift + River rift with Lightning Trait. That is what I mean by "traits are not elements".

I do not know the order BFS calculates the outcomes, whether it is dragon, rift or not / if rift what trait. When the requirements are met (dragon or elements, and traits), if dragon is decided after trait, then yes, having more traits in the combo would affect your chance of getting specific traited dragons. But if dragon is first, then no.

So it's just I am looking at it with the "dragon first" angle, and you are looking at the "trait first" angle. But unless BFS would share their "secret" with us, we can only guess...
