    I really have to thank you Bas for your support for giving me strength to be persistant,and it seams I had a lot of luck today.

    I passed in to 174 lvl early today(really long time to wait for my first Diamond),an houer later,to be onest I just wanted to finish one row in bingo challenge,to bread Air with another dragon,so I throw Air(15) with 3colord dragon,and the lucky one was Lord of the Light(12).and there it was 44,you can imagine my surprise,I had to look like 7 times am I seeing right.

    Now I'm just waiting todays update,and than will decide should I speed this up or what.

    Lucky day! Finally bred a Diamond. Used Scylla and Tiny, both level 6. Definitely wasn't expecting it from that combo!

    Congrats lenasdinner and forhthefun!

    I'm trying for my 1st diamond since I was lvl 30 and now lvl 122, still no Diamond. XD

    But I read somewhere that breeding Goodwitch and Metal is the best pair to breed Diamond, is this still the case b/c the post was from 2014...?

    And I happen to breed my first Metal today...Yay...not as exciting as a Diamond, but I heard it's a great fighter against Diamond and Champs in arena.

    The Goodwitch X Metal thing is a common misconception. The idea behind it is if a breeding pair has only a few possible outcomes, getting a Diamond Dragon is more likely. That is not true. All it does is make it so you'll keep seeing the same small group of dragons as fails, over and over. With every breeding pair, there is only about a 1% chance of breeding an ultra rare (maybe less). There is always a much, much, much greater chance of breeding a common or a rare, or even a super rare- no matter how many unique dragons the pair can potentially produce.

    Look at breeding like two wheels you have to spin. The first wheel is always the same for every breeding pair. It determines the rarity of your egg. The first wheel has 100 slots: 60 slots are labeled common, 30 are labeled rare, 9 are super rare and only 1 is ultra rare. You spin that wheel to land the rarity of your egg. The only way you can possibly breed a Diamond Dragon is if you were lucky enough to land on that one little ultra rare slot. Sadly, the odds are definitely not in your favor.

    The make-up of the second wheel changes with every breeding- it depends on the results from your first spin and your chosen breeding pair. If you landed on common and your chosen breeding pair has 4 common outcomes, the second wheel will have 4 slots. Spin the wheel to find out which of those common dragons you are getting. Whichever of the 4 you land on is the dragon you have just bred.

    If you landed on common in the first spin and your chosen breeding pair has 80 common dragon outcomes, the second wheel would have 80 slots, one for each unique dragon.
    If you got rare on your first spin, the second wheel would be comprised of only the rare dragons that can come from your breeding pair.

    The possibility of breeding Diamond Dragon was ruled out as soon as that first wheel landed in something other than ultra rare. Whether a breeding pair has 150 potential outcomes or only a handful- like Metal X Goodwitch- makes no difference.

    This is also why using someone else's successful breeding pair is basically a pointless endeavor. Specific pairs don't matter, only having the correct colors present in the parents matters. Everything else is up the the algorithm S8 uses and the rules of odds and probablity.
