I have a question:
Is this simply a secondary game inside of the regular game? Or is it something that is necessary to play alongside the current one? Will I fall behind with my normal gameplay if I choose to ignore this whole dragon part of the game?
I think the same. I dont understand this update.
It appears you will fall behind, due to Dragon Assist and Dragon Spirit, both affecting the regular game.
@CarryAll has the answer to you @SamwiseTheBrave and @Fenrirus
Other than these no impact is made on the regular game.

The topic about the Dragons is added here:
Need to digest. I assume dragon assist skills can be used on defense and on offense. I almost wish all dragons had the same rarity, as of course Legendary dragons have better assists than Rare - not sure how much better
I wonder how much of a difference they will make on defense ā¦
I havenāt seen any in defense. Could be intended. Could be just random.
Nothing about this is okay, leave the stupid dragons/assists out of PvP, itās a total imbalance that should be protested about, itās absolutely outrageous, if they want to do some half-baked, cash-grab, tack-on game, go for it - but leave out crap that is just straight up unfair for the normal version.
I mean, raids, and wars??? Seriously???
I still enjoy this game, but Iām not sure if Iām ready for this upgradeā¦ More chests, raids, mission, building whole new base using new resourcesā¦
When I first heard about this possible upgrade I became f2p. I need to know if Iāll be able to ignore this upgrade in case I will not like it, or those dragons gonna affect events, wars and tournament.
Thanks @Ruskin505 and @PlayForFun for all the info youāre sharing. You both rock!
This is a lot to take in and a lot to digest whew!!!
On the one hand, nice to have player level carry over in this way - having same number of energy.
On the other hand, gosh itās going to take a lot of time to use this upā¦
And as you noted in another postā¦ I already couldnāt fathom maintaining an alt before all this. With this? Yeah definitely not, too much time used up
Nah, itās actually terrible, each fāing time we get bent over and 
it takes time to recover and then when weāre finally about to reach a good point with our teams YOINK some new, BS P2W crap comes into play making it all irrelevant again, weāve not had any breathing time to enjoy what we have, so whatās the f**king point in playing at all?
Played 2 games with dragons. At least long enough for me to do something about them.
Straight from the start. Dem dragons became important with time, that I found myself grinding to level them up. Only 1 rarity. I focused on 2 dragons: 1 healer and 1 brute. The other 3 were shelved unless I have capacity.
EP will have 3. I see bottlenecks for feeders and AM to get them maxed.
Plus $$$ to get legendary dragons from the get go. These should have highest utility. Rare n epic dragons will be limited to events with restrictions, or war/raids when it opens up for wars, RT and W3K.
Not sure if I want to dump money for a dragon in a mature game.
This dragonspire is an add on for pure revenue.
Hmmm no you got it all wrong, this is an extension, not a new gameā¦ With new mechanics and stuff, like they always do with every game update. Itās just a bigger drop this time around. If you want more buildings (like many players actually do), this is a dream come true. Not something to leave over. Or not specifically leave over that, youād have leave sooner rather than later with the smaller increments already if this makes you leave right away.
Adding a āsupport dragonā into the base game isnāt just a ānew mechanicā that should be accepted.
I see it as an outrage really, the imbalance it will cause this time is justā¦
I donāt care if they want to add a different mode into the game, I do when it causes imbalance and more P2W to the current one that already suffers ridiculously from it, what the actual f**k next, pixie fairy supports? Shares in Zynga?
Dont worry folks, they will eventually have toon dragonsš¤Æ
Is there any indication that dragons will exist on defenses? If they are on defense, then raids will become simply impossible. This game has 2 defensive stats and 1 offensive stat. As power inflation continues, it becomes increasingly harder to kill enemies.
On top of that, most dragon skills are defensive, which worsens the problem even more. On the casual level, most enemies will have defensive assists simply because theyāre more common and fit defense anyway. On the offensive, getting extra health and defenses doesnāt help me break a tough tank.
Will we be able to fast battle stuff on the dragon side/will VIP carry over?
Somehow, itās like they added a new ālegendary troopsā kind of feature, but this time you have to play a E&P inside E&P in order to get and upgrade them.
