Hello Friends!!
Now that we got the very basics on how to train your baby dragons, what happens when they are all grown up?
Let's find out!
PVE Battling - Age 5 and older ~
Your dragon is all grown up and looks amazing and wants to battle!! You will want to wear your dragon and go to the battle screen in your HUD, by clicking the red diamond. When the HUD is successfully linked to your dragon, you will see all its stats in that screen. This is what you need to do to make sure the Archetype sticks for your dragon.
Here, you will see the stats of your dragon and any battle buffs you have added to your HUD. As well as, buttons for battle settings.
They include:
- Set Dragon Icon - Allows you to set a picture for your dragon.
- Monster Encounters - Allows you to search for enemies.
- Challenge A Player - Allows you to participate in PVP (Player vs. Player) battle.
- Play! - Allows you to train your baby dragon.
The Archetype you trained your dragon will show with an (X) next to it. As you can see here under Speed.
PVE (Player vs. Environment) battling is the way you gain levels after age 5. You can train your dragon up to Level 50 max. To start a PVE battle, click the 'Monster Encounters' button. This will make the HUD search for enemies. Equip the biome of your choice and click it (You'll only need to equip this once, until you want to change the biome/environment) and then walk or fly around with your dragon to find enemies. The biome determines the environment you'll fight in. There are three biomes to choose from now and two of them can be found in the folder with your HUD and training toys. The third one is for the Festival of Flames and is a permanent environment! YAY!
When your HUD finds an enemy, it will change and take you to the battle. This is where you fight your enemies.
Starting from the top of the HUD, you will see a list of enemies you'll need to fight. As you gain levels, you will have more enemies to fight at one time. You can also see a picture of them beside the list.
Next, you'll see a Battle Log area. Here, you will be able to keep track of every action made during the battle. Then below that is where you keep track of your dragon's health and make your attack.
Here's the breakdown:
- Name of your dragon.
- Hit Points (HP) - How many hits your dragon can take during battle.
- Actions - Each cell represents one action that you can take against your enemies. Some actions take more than one cell.
- Surges - Are for using magic and breath. You build these up by successfully attacking your enemy. The harder the attack, the more surges you get.
Action Buttons:
You have a choice of 6 actions during a battle. The numbers on the buttons represent the percentage of chance you have of hitting your enemy with that action.
- Claw - Takes one action cell to perform.
- Tail - Takes two action cells to perform and can only be used once per round.
- Bite - Takes two action cells to perform and can only be used once per round.
- Breath - Takes five surge cells and four action cells to perform.
- Magic - Takes at least two surge cells to perform, depending on the action and this will bring up a menu, for you to choose your action. The choices are: Goss Bandage, Rage, Wool Bandage, Silk Bandage, Mana Blast, Haste, and Heal. More about these buttons is below.
- Flee - If you want to end the battle early, but will count as a loss.
- End Turn - If you don't want to perform any more actions against your enemy. This allows your enemy to take their turn against you.
Magic Menu:
- Goss (Gossimer) Bandage, Wool Bandage, Silk Bandage - This will allow you to use one of your bandages. You can only use one of each during a battle. Goss restores 60 HP. Silk restores 40 HP. Wool will restore 20 HP.
- Rage - Gives extra damage during a battle for three rounds. It takes two action cells and three surge cells to perform.
- Haste - Gives one bonus action cell for three rounds. It takes one action cell and one surge cell to perform.
- Mana Blast - Will blast your enemy with damage. It takes two action cells and at least one surge cell (up to three) to perform. The more surges you use, the more damage you will inflict on your enemy.
- Heal - This will restore HP to your dragon. The more surge cells you use the more HP you will restore (up to three surges).
As you battle you will see the play-by-play in the Battle Log and when the battle ends, whether through victory or loss, it will show in both the Battle Log and Local Chat. Your Flee button will change to End Match and you'll want to click it to get back to the main battle screen. Once you're at the main battle screen, just click your Monster Encounters button to start another match!
**Please note that the battle buffs in your HUD pertain to YOU and not your dragons. You will be able to use them for ALL your dragons as specified by the buff itself, which we will cover at a later date.
Also, please refer to the PVE video made by Ava to show you step-by-step how these battles are done in real time. And remember, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out within the community!
See ya out there!
