Battle colors

[cosmolife]

Can anyone please help me understand the colors in battling?

The opponent dragon has purple and blue. I looked up the table and it said I could use Rainbow. My Rainbow is level 10 but failed to beat the level 5 dragon in the pic. I don?t understand it. Help..

I find that kind of head scratching too. The element that you would need to be the most concerned about is the Elemental element as the purple is secondary and the blue is tertiary. As of right now there's really no table for elements such as elemental, tarot, flower, beast, etc so, as a rule of thumb, I look at the dragon's magic and pretend it's an element like the ones listed in the table. Like elemental I treat as a red dragon since it uses red fire magic and I choose dragons that are good against red. In your case, you picked a good dragon to put against Impetus but, for some odd reason, the game made your Rainbow lose.

Use the same dragon but try using a different combo ie use bash first instead of magic same goes for second hit (if needed) hopefully that might help

Just remember that no dragon is 100% successful against any other dragon. The best percentage I've ever encountered was 90% and even that loses sometimes :(

Against Purple.Blue dragons I always use Seeker(Purple.Green.Yellow) which give a 3-0 strength advantage.

Thanks! I read your comment like 5 times. I think I got the gist of what you’re saying. Let me rephrase it, see if I got it right ;)

1) I should look at the first color only. The second and third colors don’t matter as much
2) the first color in this case is Elemental, which is made up of fire and magic. So I should use dragons listed in the table that are good for red, fire

I don’t understand why my Rainbow failed. Does the game just randomly let you win or lose? Ew. If that’s the case, what’s the point of feeding up dragons or trying to breed/get ultra rare dragons if we’re not guaranteed a win??

It just hit me that we are guaranteed a win. We just pay 30 gold for the privilege. I supposed that’s what it all boils down to —> $$$$

Well the first element is the element of most importance when it comes to battling. I'm not saying totally ignore the other elements but they're less important than the 1st one.
When you hit the "magic" button in battle each element has different types of attacks like elemental uses the red flames, tarot types use the purple spell and flower uses the green vines. I choose my dragons for new elements (not on the table) based on this so against Impetus, I would've done what you did and pick Rainbow too. But, remember, rarity factors in the battle sometimes too. Impetus is an ultra rare and Rainbow is a rare. However no dragon is a 100% guarantee in battle. Sometimes a good match up may not be so good and can be head scratching like how my Defender loses against Odyssey. Fairtyale has an advantage over mythic and in most cases, my fairytale types will win against mythic types.

Oooo I’ve never noticed the stuff after I hit bash or magic. I’ll have to pay more attention to that. Thanks for the tip!

What would you say is a good champion to have? I worked the math on getting 1600 essence. It would take me 3 months to get that much for one dragon. So I want to craft one good one. After that, I’ll probably be too exhausted to try and get another 1600 essence haha

If you want some decent fighters I say Glasswing, Neo Glasswing, Valiant, Light Mother, Omega Light Mother, Huntress, Gentle Knight for ultra rare. Stalwart, Tribal, Wardrum, Cleric, Dueler for super rare. Warden, Gilded Knight, Sentinel for rare.

Thanks for the list! Yay now I have an idea what to look out for. Thank you for all your help :love_heart:

I don’t see warrior princess in the list. So I should not consider getting her then? Only reason I ask about her is because she’s on sale atm for 150 gold.

I remember on another thread, you talked about breeding quetzals and something else for essence. Can I ask, how do you do this in an efficient way, allowing for events as well? What I mean is, my breeding cave, nests, evo temple are constantly in use. If I were to solely focus on producing essence, each dragon takes 2 days in breeding cave + 2 days in nest + 2 days in evo = 6 days per 100 essence. If I were to only work on essence, then I can’t play events or do anything else. Can you please tell me how you do it? Ty :love_heart:

Breed,hatch,evolve Quetzal during WEs & LBs.These score points but your Bingo will be affected so you will have to prioritize whichever is more useful/beneficial. Good luck.

It actually takes a LOT of patience to breed an army of Quetzals or Infinities. I don't try to breed Quetzals during Dragon Tales, I just do them during World Events and Leaderboards. Quetzal has the shortest breed time of any diamond type when using the diamond/Forest or diamond/fire strategy. The results of doing the quick diamond hybrid theory would be Quetzal (32hrs), Ridgeback (41hrs) and Crusader (44hrs). You can also breed diamond/quetzal or diamond/crusader or ridgeback to add the 40 hour Infinity to the mix. On average it does take about 4 days total to incubate, hatch and evolve a Quetzal to where it can be disenchanted. The other dragons take about 6 days. On average I score about 800-1200 essence in about 4 weeks employing that strategy but it takes a heckuva a lot of patience. After all, Quetzal is an ultra rare dragon.

I?ve been following this strategy and breeding lots of quetzals & infinity?s but I?m actually starting to wonder if it would be smarter to breed tons of wilds instead since they give 10 essence. Trading 1 wild dragon/day would give you 70 essence/week.

It seems that our thread has gone a little off topic (which I don't mind), but I will say that I don't have any strategy toward getting Essence. I just breed for whatever I need during an event or what a Bingo task tells me to do, or, if neither of those is in play, I just breed for a dragon that I want. I wind up with a wide variety of duplicate dragons that I then disenchant - I do everything that gives 10 Essence or more. I don't bother with the ones that give only 2 Essence. I never seem to have any shortage of Essence on my older accounts. My baby account doesn't have enough dragons to be getting duplicates yet (except for that Beryl dragon!), so I haven't had much to disenchant from it yet, so I only have 621 Essence there, which is still enough to get a Gilded Knight if I want one for that account (I have one on one of my older accounts, and he is my best fighter, so I am considering getting him for my baby account, too).

for battle arena, i was just battling something ( i can't remember the dragon sorry). but it was a level 8 rare. black and blue i think. i tried my level 15 diamond. lost. miserably. healed him. went back in & knocked the same dragon out in one bash.

I heard that a dragon that has three colours is weaker than one that has one colour not sure if that?s true. With three colours it makes them weaker because of the multiple split.

That is true only if it's opponent is a Champion.
If not, use the battle chart posted at the start of each battle thread to choose the best candidate to fight the battle arena dragon. The chart lists the known strengths & weaknesses of many of the Dragon types but does not have info on all the newer types.
