Gameplay

The game lets players breed, hatch, and raise dragons. The dragon generate gold which can be used to buy farms, buildings, and habitats. The farms let players exchange the gold for food. The food all looks like tomatoes, and feeding a dragon allows it to level up. Leveling up dragons allows them to evolve and generate more gold. A dragon must be at least level 4 and above in order to breed. A dragon's level also determines how much life and power the dragon has in Arenas, Leagues, and Quests, which are different kinds of battles where three of a player's dragons battle three of another player's dragons. Leagues, however, allow you to use any combination of dragons, including only one or two, assuming they have reached at least level 4. Also, Arenas and Quests may have extra requirements, such as elements or rarity. Once a player has reached the player level 27, the Ancient World appears, which is an area of the game where the gold can be exchanged for gemstones that can be used to summon ancient dragons. Gemstones are then crafted using platinum, which is generated by the ancient dragons similarly to how the regular dragons generate gold. Gems are another in-game currency that can be earned by buying them with real-world money, beating all of the opponents in a League, having a collection of dragons from the dragon book, from leveling up as a player, checking the calendar, participating in events, and more. When in a battle, dragons can have a ability for a strong damage (but can also have weak or no damage), depending on the elements. As of August 2020, there are 1,368 dragons composed of basic dragon elements Terra, Flame, Sea, Nature, Electric, Ice, Metal, Dark, Light, War, Pure, Legendary, Primal, and Wind; while ancient dragon elements are Beauty, Chaos, Magic, Dream, Soul, and Happy; and there are 18 ancient dragons in the Ancient World.
