Battle Tournament: Duppy Dragon 10/10/23

[northernlight412]

Hello Neighbors,

Welcome to the second tournament of Spooky October. My apologies for the lateness, I'm on vacation or holiday for some of the world. The tournament boss is the Duppy Dragon. Win 30 rounds and this dragon can be in your storage. I listed the number of Cursed Skulls that can be won with each round. Cursed Skulls can lead to the ultra rare Tangle Dragon - the monthly dragon.

Here are the opponents:

Champions are very tricky. The go to dragons for most players are as follows, The ADDMIP Dragons of Achilles, Diamond, Dark, Metal, Infinity and Passion. Different dragons work on champions on different islands so don't think you're just limited to the ADDMIP dragons when facing a champion type.

I've noticed that my Bewilder dragon (Fairytale, blue, green) from a recent event is really good at battling. Yes, it's level 14, which might have something to do with it, but it seems to be better than most of my other level 14s. Just throwing that out there.

Bewilder could be one of your magic dragons on your island. I noticed from the past tournaments years back when skyharbor did tournament threads that some people used only certain dragons throughout their battles. This is why I always preface tournaments with the saying "some dragons may work on certain islands but are failures on others." For example, my diamond type dragons except Infinity can't fight their way out of a paper bag for me but they work for others. I say the "special" dragons on my island are as follows: Qilin, Air, Bambino, White Steed, Cutesy, Violight, Forest, Fire, Dark, Black Jackal, Fungi, True Love, Dualove, Metal and Dreamweaver.
