==Competing==
Once the player builds the [[Colosseum]], they are able to compete in daily events to earn extra [[DragonCash]], [[Gems]], and [[Experience]]. Players must contribute dragons which match the Colosseum's current event, which cycles through all ten [[Elements|primary elements]]. The element in which the Colosseum features switches daily, and can be determined by the [[Elements|element]] name at the top of the menu, flags flying outside the [[Buildings|building]], or the landscape inside the [[{{PAGENAME}}]]. The rotation of events is as follows:

{|border="1" style="background-color:#e3f2ca; border-collapse:collapse; border-color:black; margin:auto; text-align:center; width:90%;"
|- style="{{buildingboxheader| {{PAGENAME}} }}; border-color:black;"
|style="width:10%";|[[Plant Element Dragons|Plant]]
|style="width:10%";|[[Fire Element Dragons|Fire]]
|style="width:10%";|[[Earth Element Dragons|Earth]]
|style="width:10%";|[[Metal Element Dragons|Metal]]
|style="width:10%";|[[Light Element Dragons|Light]]
|style="width:10%";|[[Dark Element Dragons|Dark]]

To choose a [[Dragons|dragon]] to compete, touch the [[{{PAGENAME}}]] and click on the "Compete" button to view the event menu, which will also display the featured [[Elements| primary element]]. [[Dragons]] placed in the [[{{PAGENAME}}]] cannot be removed for 23 hours, nor can the event be sped up using [[Kairos]], [[Time Skip Tokens]], or [[Gems]]. The participating [[Dragons|dragon]] does not earn income in its [[Habitats|habitat]] during the event, although gold medals effectively return the amount of income the dragon would have earned.

<!-- TROPHIES REPLACED WITH MEDALS ON AN UNKNOWN DATE-->

==Trophies==
'''''Trophies were replaced with Medals on an unknown date.'''''

Trophies were awarded based on the player's [[Dragons|dragon's]] "performance". 

Nothing guaranteed a gold trophy. A [[Dragons|dragon]] may have received a gold trophy one week, and only a silver trophy in the same event the next week.

On the [[{{PAGENAME}}]] "Trophies" button, players were able to view past events: which [[Dragons|dragon]] participated, the date and time of the event, and the award type. This was very helpful as it showed which [[Game Center Achievements|Game Center achievements]] the player had left. However, if a higher-ranking trophy was acquired, then only the most recent [[Dragons|dragon]] that obtained that same-ranking trophy (or higher if a silver was acquired) was recorded. For example, if a [[Dragons|dragon]] acquired a gold trophy for one [[Elements|element]] for one day and acquired a silver trophy for that same [[Elements|element]] on a later day, only the date when a [[Dragons|dragon]] acquired a gold trophy was recorded.
