Revision as of 16:25, 26 May 2019

In order to breed dragons, players must have the Breeding Cave that you obtain at the start, the Cooperative Breeding Cave that will unlock at level ten, or the Epic Breeding Island that will unlock at level thirteen. There are some factors that will possibly affect the results:


Update Note: The order of the dragons being bred does NOT affect the result.

How to Breed

To breed, tap on the Breeding Cave, Enchanted Breeding Cave, Epic Breeding Island, or the Epic Breeding Sanctuary, which will glow. Then, tap on the "Breed" button, and a menu with two sides, "Dragon one", and "Dragon two", will open. Dragons will be available for breeding once they are at level four or higher, and incompatible or unbreedable dragons will be "greyed out". Players must select one dragon on either side. Once the dragons are selected, press the "Breed" button at the lower center of the menu. To use the same pair of dragons used in the most recent breeding attempt, press the "Retry" button and confirm the re-use of the dragons.

Breeding hints are available in the breeding toolbar to be viewed after tapping on the Breeding Cave/Enchanted Breeding Cave, and the Epic Breeding Island/Epic Breeding Sanctuary.


Opposite Dragons

Dragons with opposite elements that cannot be directly bred with each other:

Opposite dragons include:

All opposite dragons must be bred with a primary element dragon and a secondary element hybrid dragon.

Update Note: Breeding an opposite dragon with a primary element dragon may result in the parent opposite dragon (e.g. breeding Plasma + Lightning may result in a Plasma dragon.)

Breeding Results

This is a brief overview of the possible outcomes from breeding.

For more detailed information about the dragons please visit the Eggs, Breeding Times, and the Dragon Reference Chart pages.

Notes

  • The Epic Breeding Island, and the Epic Breeding Sanctuary are not absolutely necessary to successfully breed any dragon. It only grants the player a slight increase to the probability of breeding epic dragons, opposite dragons, limited dragons and some other dragons. The greatest benefit is allowing the player to breed two sets of dragons at any given time.
  • Gemstone dragons and Crystalline dragons cannot breed with any other dragons, even another of the same type, except during special events such as the Shimmering Solstice.
  • Kairos cannot be bred; it is obtained by completing the Perch of Kairos.
  • On June 27, 2013, filter buttons were added to the breeding menu to sort dragons by elements.
  • A message will pop up on the screen for players if they do not have enough room to place an egg after the dragons have finished breeding.
    • Previously, if a player sped up breeding and had a Nursery full of eggs, the game would deduct gems from the player to complete the breeding, but the egg would not enter the Nursery because it was full. This rule was changed on an unknown date; now it is not possible to speed up breeding using gems if the Nursery is full of eggs.
    • The message card was updated on an unknown date to include the sentence "We're sorry!".
  • On June 27, 2013, the "Breed" button received its own unique sound effect upon clicking it.

  • As of Update 2.0, breeding two of the same dragon will NOT guarantee that dragon. For users who have suggestions on ways that Backflip Studios can enhance alternative breeding options, they have provided a special email address: DVBreeding@backflipstudios.com.
  • When Epic dragons are bred, they exhibit latent, non-epic elements. For example, the Seasonal Dragon is treated as a Fire, Air and Plant hybrid when bred with other dragons. Following these parameters, there are five dragons which are treated as 10-element hybrids when bred: the Rainbow Dragon, the Leap Year Dragon, the Aurora Dragon, the Double Rainbow Dragon and the Dream Dragon. When these dragons are bred together, it is possible to achieve any dragon in the game except for Primary dragons, Gemstone/Crystalline dragons, and dragons that require specific dragons to be bred (e.g. Gourd Dragon).
  • It has been confirmed that higher level dragons have better Breeding odds, i.e. better chances of breeding rare dragons.
