[Ufeel]

Thank you for your superpower work, PFF!
A true 7* level spelcial skill.

[L33tVortex12596]

Thanks for all the information @PlayForFun !
You’re the best!

[StrongBeaver999]

Thanks @PlayForFun for all of this about the dragons and here are some peanuts for your hard work (because I don’t know what else to give)

[Math-Teacher]

My guess to what they’ll need is a large sack of Tylenol.

[Mad1max9]

Many thanks PlayForFun! (Didn’t tag you because I’m sure you’ll get enough of that in the coming hours/days.

Your work and presence on the forum are GREATLY appreciated!!

[KeeSnow]

Am pretty happy that this dragon is helping with non-competitive PvE events only so far. At least for now.

[Not-important]

Thanks PFF for this comprehensive summary of what’s coming. I was too lazy to read previous never ending topics related to dragons, got it now

We neither can hide nor run, dragons are here don’t know if i have the envy and energy to start building all over again

[BobTheSnark]

Let me add my thanks to PFF for collating so many resources about these changes.

And… yeah… my opinion about dragons has been established, if quixotically and too late, but a resource like this is important.

Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned about dragons, it’s that good information can be part of the most effective weapon against them:

Suddenly out of the dark something fluttered to his shoulder. He started-but it was only an old thrush. Unafraid it perched by his ear and it brought him news. Marvelling he found he could understand its tongue, for he was of the race of Dale.

“Wait! Wait!” it said to him. “The moon is rising. Look for the hollow of the left breast as he flies and turns above you!” And while Bard paused in wonder it told him of tidings up in the Mountain and of all that it had heard. Then Bard drew his bow-string to his ear. The dragon was circling back, flying low, and as he came the moon rose above the eastern shore and silvered his great wings.

”Arrow!" said the bowman. "Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!”

[volleyballkic]

In this scenario, Heroes from the Stronghold function as specialized Dragon Riders, with unique synergies based on rarity and element that allow them to bond with Dragons from the Dragonspire. Here’s a breakdown of the mechanics:

Key Rules:

1. Dragon-Hero Pairing:

• Rarity Matching: A Hero must be of the same rarity as the Dragon they are assigned to ride. For example, a 5-star Hero can only ride a 5-star Dragon.
• Element Matching: Both the Hero and Dragon must belong to the same element (e.g., Fire Hero with Fire Dragon, Nature Hero with Nature Dragon, etc.).

2. Hero Selection:

• You can only select the Base version of a Hero. Costumes and other variations of Heroes are not applicable for this function.

3. Stat Transfer:

• When a Hero is selected as a Dragon Rider, the Hero’s stats (Attack, Defense, and Health) will increase the Dragon’s stats proportionally. This essentially enhances the Dragon’s performance in battle.
• The exact percentage of stat transfer could depend on the Hero’s level, ascension tier, and special abilities.

[Ros]

Some of my friends got the Dragon Base button but it didn’t appear in my base… Is that an error or just because of something else

[Nexus1254]

C’mon, you already cannot do sh¥t without spending gems / money…

This is at the first quest level…

[Riverwind]

Feels like going back to 2018 to build up everything once again from scratch.

Just a no for me. Already getting tired.

[Shasoulwound]

Likewise. I checked app store for an update and in game i have the right build. There is no button. Is it released in parts so not everyone gets it at the same time?

[Ros]

1 of my friends already got the Dragon Base button (picture) but not me. I also checked in the Playstore if there need to update again but nothing. I’m so confused

[PlayForFun]

I had no problem with with finishing the first 3 stages with the given 4 trainer dragons and the free pullable Krio.

Try to use the Tile Boosters, when possible.

[Youngboss]

I can’t find my dragonspire anywhere either

[PlayForFun]

It is getting rolled out in stages.
So far it is enabled for just some players.
I guess it will be enabled for everyone soon.

[Quiet]

Good job SG announcing that it is enabled in phases. Been waiting here 1,5 hours already and still nothing. In that time players could have already build and upgrade buildings, collect food & iron, which are very hard to come at the early stages of game. For early game it matters a lot if players are giving headstart for things.

[Youngboss]

So this is not a bug
This should have been announced in advance. It ruins the gaming experience for a lot of people
