Dragon
breeding is a unique part of the game play in Dragon City. However, it
is hard to figure out how to breed what without the formula. In this
guide, we will provide some formulas and tutorials on how to breed the
dragons that you love and use in Dragon City. Please share this guide
with your Dragon City and facebook friends if you have found it helpful.
Lastly please check out the rest of our
Dragon City guides.
Basic Dragon Breeding Information
The
basic of Dragon City breeding is taught during tutorial. You will first
have to level up your dragon via feeding to at least level 4. Build a
building ground such as Breeding Mountain or Breeding Tree, then you can
select which of the dragon that you would like to breed. It will take
some time for the dragons to create the eggs and even more time for the
eggs to hatch. The types of offspring is dependent on the parents. In
addition, there is some sort of luck involved in breeding that you may
not get the dragon you are looking for 100% of the time.
When you
first start the game, we recommend you to start from generation 1 and
breed a couple high generation dragons. However, slow down on the Pure
Dragon breeding (We label it generation 4 and 4.5) because the long
breeding time can hinder your game play.
Basic Breeding Dragons
To
start breeding the dragons, you must first have these basic building
blocks. You must purchase these dragons from eggs because you do not
have the parents to generate and mate for these basic dragons.
Nature Dragon
Flame Dragon
Terra Dragon
Sea Dragon
Electric Dragon
Ice Dragon
Metal Dragon
Dark Dragon
Generation 1 Breeding Dragons
Below
is a complete list of “Rank 1″ dragons that you can build by using
single step from the basic dragons in Dragon City. The dragons may be
repeated in each of the subsection simply for your own convenience. The
order at which you input the dragons for breeding does not affect the
egg outcome. It is all pretty much based on luck and luck only.

Generation 2 Dragon Breeding – Hybrid Rare
Below
list we will include generation 2 dragon breds that are possible from
generation 1. Please note that some of these chances are not 100%, and
there may be other ways that you can successfully breed the Dragon City
dragon that you are looking for. We have used () to note the basic
building block for the specific Generation 1 dragons for your
convenience.
Mud (Terra+ Sea ) + Dark = Poo.
Medieval (Flame + Metal) + Alpine (Ice + Terra) = Cool Fire Or Soccer Or Pearl Or Armadillo Or Flaming Rock
Neon (Dark + Electric) + Nenufar (Sea + Plant) = Pirate.
Zombie + Mud (Terra + Sea) = Petroleum.

Special Notes:
Cool Fire can also be obtained through Laser (Fire + Electric) and Dandelion (Plant + Ice), Firebird and Ice.
Armadillo can also obtained through: medieval + alpine, pearl + alpine,
jade+star, Zombie + Mud, and Pearl + flaming rock dragon
Gummy can also be obtained through: Firebird + fluorecent, firebird + star, Jade + star, and neon + nenufar
Pirate can also be bred from: Rattlesnake + lanternfish and neon + cloud
It
should be additionally noted that Medieval + Alpine dragon is one of
the best dragon breeding formula in Dragon City because of its ability
to bred different types of hybrid rares.
Generation 3 Dragon Breeding – Legendary
The
dragon breeding list for the legendary rank is well, pretty rare. You
really have to rely heavily on your luck to get a shot at landing these
dragons. Because the type of elements associated with these rare breeds
are quite complex, we do not have the exact formula for these Dragon
City breeds yet.
Legendary Dragon – Cool Fire Dragon + Soccer Dragon
Crystal Dragon – Coolfire + Soccer
Mirror Dragon – Gummi Dragon + Cool Fire Dragon
Wind Dragon – Gummi Dragon + Cool Fire Dragon, Soccer + CoolFire
Generation 4 and 5 Pure Dragon Breeding – The Pure Dragons
The
pure dragon in Dragon City is the latest update that uses all the
legendary dragons that you have gotten. Some people also call the Pure
dragon the “Unicorn” dragon, because it looks like a unicorn. However,
the actual name on Dragon City is the Pure Dragon. This category of
dragon has its own habitat of the Pure and Pure elements. Below is how
you can obtain these pure dragons in Dragon City.
We have
intentionally separated the ranking generation of Pure and Pure Element.
You will need Pure Dragon before you can start breeding the Pure
Elements, thus effectively make the Pure Elements one generation after
the Dragon City Pure Dragon.
It should be noted again that the
breeding chance of Pure Dragon is not 100%. Based on our brief tests, we
estimate the chance of breeding the Pure Dragon to be roughly 30~50% or
even lower. There is a chance to have a result of any possible dragon
combination when you breed two legendary dragon together.
Generation 4 – The Pure Dragon
Pure Dragon – Any breeding combination from legendary status dragons –
Legendary, Crystal, Mirror, Wind. For example, Legendary + Crystal,
Crystal + Mirror, and …
Generation 5 – The Pure Element Dragons
After you have obtained the Pure dragons, you can use the Dragon City
pure dragon to breed the Pure element dragons with their elemental
counterparts. Below is a list of all these pure elemental dragons.
Pure Plant = Pure Dragon + Plant Dragon
Pure Fire = Pure Dragon + Fire Dragon
Pure Earth = Pure Dragon + Earth Dragon
Pure Water = Pure Dragon + Water Dragon
Pure Electric = Pure Dragon + Electric Dragon
Pure Ice = Pure Dragon + Ice Dragon
Pure Metal = Pure Dragon + Metal Dragon
Pure Dark = Pure Dragon + Dark Dragon
Special Advice on Pure Dragon Breeding and Hatching Time:
The pure dragons breeding combination takes a whopping 48 hours to
complete. The hatching of any “pure” dragon City dragons also takes 48
hours. Together the pure dragon breeding and hatching time adds up to 96
hours which is 4 days. Before you start breeding these, make sure that
you have enough dragons as backup because they will take up your
breeding and hatching queue. Putting your available legendary dragons
into breeding places will make them unable to battle for that initial 2
days.
Deus Vault – The Unique Dragon Research
After a long
time, Dragon City has finally gotten some nifty new updates that can
keep all the players busy. At the time of updating the Dragon City
Breeding guide, only unique dragons from the past are currently
available in the Deus Vault. We expect completely unique dragons to be
available in the future.
To breed the Dragon City unique dragons,
you WILL have to do the research first to obtain the formula. As it
seems that Socialpoint is still fine tuning the cost of these research.
Once you have completed the research, you will obtain the secret dragon
breeding formulas to breed unique dragons. However, we have provided the
following unique dragon breeding combos to help you get started even
before you obtain the right research.
Like all of the available
dragon breeding recipes listed in this guide. These combos are not 100%.
Depending on the different unique dragon breeds, we estimate the
chances to be roughly 15%~25%. This means that you may still have to do a
couple of tries before you can get the unique dragons. MAKE SURE YOU DO
THE RESEARCH before attempting these breeding combos. Breed attempts
without the proper research done has 0% chance of succeeding.
Please
note that we have opt out to put research cost of these associated
unique dragon breeds. We expect the price to fluctuate a bit during
their A/B testing. Your best bet is to buy and complete any Deus Vault
unique dragon research if they are available in gold.
Dujur Dragon – Coolfire + Electric
Queen = Medieval + Nenufar
Viking = Coolfire + Icecube
Plankton = Coral + Cactus
Aztec = Tropical + Spicy
Fossil = Dark + Ice
Bat = Venom + Armadillo
Seahorse – Lantern Fish + Dandelion
King = Medieval + Hot Metal
Sky = Laser + Blizzard
Notes: Dragon City Opposing Element Breeding
In
this list that we have provided, there are some breeds that include
elements that are opposed to each other. This means that you cannot
normally breed them directly. However, you can use hybrid dragons that
contain the opposing elements to breed the hybrid dragons. Because
hybrid is used in the breeding process, this means that you will not be
able to get the dragon that you want 100% of the time, so just keep on
trying until you breed the Dragon City dragons that you need!
Notes: Dragon City Breeding Rarity Booster
Just
in the past week of October, the Dragon City developer has opened a new
feature named the Breeding Rarity Booster which can be used to boost
your breeding chances. Based on some preliminary testing on our part, we
have determined the rate to be roughly “twice” of its original breeding
chance.
This means that “if” you have roughly 30% chance at
getting legendary ranked dragons, with the rarity booster you will have
doubled that amount at 60%. However, with the same reasoning, the effect
of rarity booster is really limited when it comes to Pure and Pure
Element combinations. We estimate the chance of breeding the Pure ranked
dragons at about 5~10%. Which means that the Rarity booster really only
effectively gives you 5%~10% more (nevertheless it still doubles the
chance which helps you get them twice as fast, or even faster). Please
note that we do not have the exact % of breeding chances, we simply
observe that the Rarity booster is dependent on the original “rare”
chance.
Gamelytic’s verdict on Dragon Breed Rarity Booster:
It will be a better investment into breeding trees if you have not done
so. Save your precious gems for the special event dragons instead of
pushing for higher breeding success chance via the Rarity booster. When
you get to a later level, there is much left to do except to collect the
event dragons while letting your Dragon breeding schedule run.
Notes: Update for Dragon Breeding Times
In
the past week or so, Social Point seems to be running some testing by
assigning different breeding times for the dragons. This test now seems
to have been rolled out to the majority of the players which we now call
it a breeding time update.
Before the update, the breeding time
is purely based upon the parents of the dragon pair. With this update,
the Dragon City breeding time is now directly related to how rare the
egg hybrid offspring is. For example, legendary and pure level eggs can
take up to 24~48 hours for breeding. For the generation 1~2 hybrids can
generally take 4~16 hours. This update is good in a way that you can get
more breeding tries within shorter period of time. This means that if
you play consistently throughout the day, you can get your rares faster
within shorter time frame. Failed non-rare eggs will simply take shorter
breeding time.
Special Promotional Dragons

are listed because they cannot be made via breeding. However, we have
included these to make our Dragon City breeding guide complete:
