    Why is it that some players go through tournament after tournament losing no more that 1-3 battles, yet here I’ve lost to Skeletal Knight 14 times? Tournaments have been like this for me since I started playing several years ago. It’s not much fun. I used to play regularly but now I skip months at a time. Lost Diamond 15x3, Metal 15 x2, Passion 10, Air 15, Mithril 13, Water 10, Fire 1, Music 10 (tried for bingo goal), all my zodiacs (also trying for bingo).

    I don’t know why, but with me, it depends on whether I use IOS or my old android. With my new IOS, I do okay in tournaments until I battle level 15 and higher opponents. Then I have all kinds of problems winning. I found an odd solution. I have an old android running on lollypop 5.1. I have to clear DS data every time I use it or I can’t use it. When I battle, I can’t even see either dragon. Still, I almost never lose the battles against the upper level dragons using that device. I don’t have any idea if that happens with anyone else but I suspect that there are inconsistencies in the way the game is programmed for android and IOS. Like I said, I don’t know and am just guessing

    This tournament is quite difficult with the set of dragons.

    I'm on Android Nougat 7.1.1 but I had older Android systems with pretty much the same results. One method I use in tournaments is to hard/fast tap my screen. Most of the time it works as opposed to slow tapping my screen. I've never had a 30 round tournament with only one loss before and I limited the dragons I chose to high level single element dragons. I think it may be different programming for different systems that may explain the results for different players.

    I ask myself that question every tournament. When I started playing Dragon Story 2 or 3 years ago I thought - naively as it turned out - that if one built up a team of top class fighters then tournaments would become easier. Not to be. Despite hundreds of thousands of apples grown over many many months fed to my Super and Ultra Rare dragons and even though I use the colour charts and work out the odds I too go through each tournament with strings of defeats by often low level opponents. I understand your frustration. It makes a nonsense of my strategy. Last tournament I got to Round 29 but 8 defeats saw my time run out. If it had been Rd 30 I may have resorted to spending the 30 gold but no point in Rd 29 unless I was prepared to spend 60. I have hardly played since then - even Bingo - dropping to Silver and shortly to copper. It just gets so boring. Current practice of using same format month after month is also boring. With such a strong emphasis on forcing us to go for monthly dragons chosen by the developers we have little time to try for the dragons WE want. Indeed it’s been months since I acquired a NEW Dragon outside the chosen monthly category so I’ve decided to opt out of Tales and Community Events as well. I’m finding it more enjoyable to play MY game without the stress of going for dragons I don’t want. I’m about to upgrade mi IPad so if like my last upgrade I lose my game and I’m forced to go back to the start the choice will be made for me. Mind you Moderators did try to get it back last time but couldn’t.
    Perhaps after a few weeks/months away my enthusiasm may return but I’m not holding my breath. Indeed if anyone can suggest a new game I’d be glad to hear about it.

    I feel your pain. I had 22 losses in this tournament which is very good for me.

    Part of the reason I post my results is to track which dragons have been successful for me. It also helps me identify which dragons to level up or which elements I need to breed.

    Posting also makes is easier to ask for help since everyone can see what dragons I've tried and get a sense of my dragon inventory.

    Thanks for posting this .... extremely interesting. I play on IOS and average 20+ losses per 30 round tournament.

    I am using IOS too and my results of loosing are pretty similar to Nuicakes. I read some of the results and also wonder how some glide through with minimal losses, the other thing is I have no luck with single Element commons, for me they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Maybe android versus IOS platform has some merit in that thinking.
    I've had "good" tournaments then I've had dreaded ones where it's taken me till the next tourney to recycle my dragons through the healing spa. This tournament wasn't too bad for me, I guess the next one will be hell..to my mind there is no rhyme or reason to my arena.

    My single element dragons are also useless in battle.
