Champion dragon

[Fairyzbakery]

Hi. Can someone please explain this that how can I get champion dragons?

[skyharbor602]

The way we used to get champion dragons was by winning tournaments but with the dumb monthly themes there has been no tourneys with pure champions in the last 2 years. The only way to get them now is through essence in the codex.

Not sure what level you're at as that can be a factor for available options.
Champions cannot be bred, but there are several ways to obtain one.

Champions can be prizes from Leaderboard or community events, in addition to other in game opportunities like mining & battle tournament rewards.

They may be crafted from essence. There are Rare Champs to craft for 400 Essence such as Paladin. This dragon has a 15 hour hatch time and lower food requirements than other dragons from the same category.
All good things to consider along with which dragon design you find appealing.
Research is worth it, as some Super Rare champs craft for 1,600 Essence, have a 2 day hatch/evolve time and need a lot of food for Epic form.

Champs may also be purchased in the Market. Many are on sale right now. Best of luck!

Thank you guys. I have just gone ahead and crafted a strength dragon.

If you have none, even a pure Rare Champion for 400 essence will help in BT. However, a Super Rare Champion is best for BT.
Do check the feed schedule before buying/crafting your SR Champion. I forgot & crafted Valkyrie SR , very good in BT but is a apple hog. After I spent the 1600 essence, I got Warrior Princess, SR as a LB or WE milestone prize. 😕 She's in storage.

Note: the recommendation is to have a PURE SR Champion because except against ADIPPS(Achilles,Diamond,Infinity, Passion,Pyramid,Soccer) & { from practical results: Metal, Dark & maybe Beast types } a Champion is strong against any other type. The more types an opponent has, the weaker it is against a Champion.
e. g. A 3 color/type dragon has 3 weakness.
This is why single type Commons win in BT against Champions as it has only One weakness & why single type specials(Dark, Beast types, Pyramid before it became a hybrid) are desirable.

Is Strength Dragon a good battler? Does anyone know? I don't find it particularly attractive, but I am intrigued by its secondary element, tarot.

Strength is pretty decent but I wouldn't count it among the top champion hybrids I have.
My top 5 champ hybrids are:
1. Wardrum (champ/black)
2. Harmony Knight (champ/green)
3. Cleric (champ/white/blue)
4. Neo Glasswing/Glasswing (champ/rainbow)
5. (tie) Amazon (champ/red) and Daywing (champ/yellow/red)

My top 5 pure champs are:
1. Dueler
2. Guardian Angel
3. Warden
4. Battlesteed
5. Gilded Knight

Hopefully someone who uses Strength
in battles will answer you.
Who has time to test all the new types in battles to find its strength/weakness?
There are so many new types &
non-stop events that testing is hardly possible. The only thing we can do is if we think a dragon may be a good Battler, we have to raise it & test it ourself.

If the Tarot type follows the World/Earth type which seems to have no effect on strength/weakness, then Strength may possibly be another Congo (World.Champion) with battle results like a pure Champion.

Congo was the first Champion type I obtained on my second island so I had no choice but to raise it for battles. Turned out very well but I still crafted pure SR Champion.

Thank you, Skyharbor602 and retseho for weighing in! I was hoping that someone would be around. I don't think I'm going to spend gold on any dragons in this sale after all, but I'm making a list for crafting later. It sounds like Strength is not really worth getting, especially since I'm not fond of his appearance (how shallow am I!? LOL!). I've had my eye on Wardrum for a while, so I might make him a top priority for crafting. I don't have most of the others you mentioned except for Gilded Knight, and he is definitely one of my favorites and a go to dragon. At only 400 Essence, he's a steal! I did buy a Neo Glasswing in a value pack for my brand new account so that it would at least have *something* to battle with, and I have not been disappointed so far. I'm trying to build a good selection of battlers for all 3 of my accounts. I got Prize Fighter thinking he would really be good, and, ummm, nope. More like Booby Prize Fighter. Lol! But he's cute (or handsome might be a better word).

It's interesting to find out which champs work for other players and which don't. I wish my Glasswing was a better fighter. Got her to 15 in hope's that would help. She wins quite often but I feel for her rank in listings , she still loses more than I like, just can't count on her. In comparison, I use mithril, unruly, gentle knight, light mother and dread captain for most battles in tourny. If the extra colors don't match up then I go to battlesteed and warrior prince, my only level 14 champs. The Dark One is level 13 and he's a disappointment. I wonder if getting him to 15 would help or should i take Alpha dark one out of storage and feed and hope he fights better... just interesting how different players have different results.

[lmmortaI1]

There is also 4 champion dragons in the market too. 3 are purchase only and 1 valiant can be breed

[AwesomeChefDad]

Yeah it used to be getting champs was reasonable with tournaments but it is rare now.

To me the top battle champ is Glasswing, nothing else is even close.

Then below Glasswing I would rate these-

Wardrum
Moonrise
Dread Captain
Mithril
Amazon
Harmony
Strength
NeoGlasswing

Tribal, Unruly, Cleric, Daywing, Huntress are good in spots but the top 3 listed are very solid quite often.

Oooooh that makes me REALLY Glad that just bought wardrum dragon when it was on sale in the last sale. I’m current levelling him up. He’s my first ever champion dragon and I am saving Essence for Glasswing because I have seen Glasswing’s name come up CONSTANTLY on the battle arena calculator for a good match against enemy dragons and she’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL to boot! I love glasswing I can’t wait to get her! i’m Currently trying for more diamond duplicates to trade Essence for glasswing and more champions after that. I actually made a list of champion dragons I loved the look of and Moonrise was on it I’m glad to see you have it in your top list. I will look up the other dragons though I don’t like the look of strength dragon at all...he’s very ugly no offence to anyone that likes him I just don’t like his arms at all either.

[AraRaider]

Does anyone have any other good recommendations? Is alpha dark one good?

[AraRaider]

Hey guys, this is my top favorite list of champion dragons to save Essence for! these are all ones I looked st that I liked the best and thought they looked the coolest/prettiest. I am going for glasswing first and currently have 730 Essence once my diamond dragon finished trading away! The only champion dragon I have so far is my wardrum that I recently got on sale.

CHAMPION DRAGONS TO SAVE FOR:
Glasswing 1600 Essence 1st
The dark one 1600 Essence
Neo Glasswing 1600 Essence
Alpha Dark one 1600 Essence
Moonrise 1600 Essence
Daywing 1600 Essence
Neo valiant 1600 Essence
Light mother 1600 Essence

Those are all ultra rares, does anyone have any really good looking super rare champion names that I should save for? Way back when I originally started playing DS I wasn’t good at the battle arena so I never learned how to fight well and never bother but since I got my new iPhone and came back I’m deeply regretting that because now I am winning all the tournaments with a little gold when I get stuck if wardrum can't Help me!

[shortdanzr]

so my only two good fighting dragons are lvl 15 warrior princess and lvl 15 diamond (i am hatching an infinity, but that will obviously be awhile before i can get her to lvl 15). i have over 1700 essence. so i can craft anything. i have 3 GPD so i'm trying to figure out what to craft. i feel like i should have another pure champion. i've been reading through what you all have written & i think battleseed might be my best bet. super rare w/ fairly low food requirements (which i am still fairly new so important). i was thinking of crafting him during LB so that the food & evolving will help out

[mymonta]

I'm still going to say Gilded Knight. He's only a rare, s o only 400 Essence to craft, and he is my best fighter, period, along with Dark Omen. And I think he's one of the better looking champion dragons. A lot of the Champions are kind of ugly to me.

Neo Glasswing and Neo Valiant are not craftable.

I place a SR Champion above Glasswing in priority.
Then Glasswing,
Valiant & collect all the hybrid Champions which are useful in Bingo.
The Dark One(TDO) & Alpha Dark One (ado) are seldom used although TDO really look intimidating.

Find the Champion ****er that works for your island. ADIPPS performs worse by a large margin for me vs Dark15, Metal15. Direwolf(Beast) at L9 & L10 needs to win more battles against Champions before being placed as a Champion ****er.

My Diamond is definitely more of a lover than a fighter. Lol!

[AraRaider]

Neo Glasswing and Neo Valiant are not craftable.

YES they are, says craftable 1600 Essence right in my codex. If you have them already you can’t see that they’re craftable. However I don’t have them yet and it says that I can craft them as soon as I have the essence. I got 1144 Essence so it’s not long until I get my glasswing dragon!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Glasswing is not the same as Neo Glasswing, and Valiant is not the same as Neo Valiant.

Lol I was gonna ask what you were talking about and then I realize I mis-read your message lol. I thought your post said both glasswing and Neo glasswing aren’t craftable. Because I went to look them up in the codex and saw I could craft the glasswing so thought the others were craftable too. Didn’t know that you couldn’t craft all the neo‘s. I know that glasswing and Neo glasswing aren’t the same dragon they look entirely different. That sucks you can‘t Craft neo‘s , but it‘s fine anyways because glasswing has the same stats anyways and plus it’s name constantly comes up in the battle calculator.
