Category:Arcade Events

Arcade events are fast-paced action events in which the Trainer participates individually. Such events have simple controls and appear easy, but require good hand-eye coordination to perform well in. Arcade events also evoke a sense of nostalgia, being reminiscent of coin-operated machines, or classic console games.

Dragon's Delight

Dragon's Delight is a limited-time competition in which Trainers earn as many Happy Dragon points as possible by fulfilling Dragon requests. The points accrue towards milestone prizes.

Mechanics

Every 8 hours, from the beginning of the event, Trainers complete tasks to earn event Dorbs. Pressing the Fill button above any tube spends currency to fill it. Each tube holds 3 of 5 ( ) possible items. A Dragon appears at each machine corner, requesting items. Items exiting the bottom row of tubes can be gifted to Dragons, provided they match their request. If available items don't match any request, pressing   Trash All   disposes of all tube's items, or a Dragon can be refreshed by pressing the button. Refreshing is free but takes 60 minutes, unless sped up using Gems.

Joker Items

Joker items appear at random, have a 5% probability, and are guaranteed after every 25 items spawned. Gifting the Joker to any Dragon immediately fulfills its entire request.

Frenzy Meter

Gifting an item to a Dragon also adds 10 points to the Fill for a bonus! Frenzy Meter. After the meter reaches 300 points, Frenzy mode activates, awarding 3x the points for 60 seconds. The Frenzy meter constantly decreases by 1 point every second, regardless if the Event is played or not.

Scoring

After all requested items are gifted to a Dragon, points are awarded, and the Dragon is immediately replaced. Points automatically accrue and appear in a counter 200 at the top of the event screen, which counts toward the Event leaderboard. A minimum score of 350 is required to participate and qualify for the grand (leaderboard) prize. Trainers are randomly placed in groups of 100, where the top Trainer(s) of each grouping receive the main prize of the event.

Rarity and Points

Points given depend on the requesting Dragon's rarity.

Dragon Rarity	Item(s) Requested	Point(s) Given	Probability of Appearance
			Rate 1	Rate 2	Rate 3
Common	1	1	10%	10%	10%
Uncommon

Epic	3	6	40%	37%	31%
Legendary	4	10	19%	19%	19%
Primal	3	10	5%	5%	5%
Divine	5	15	6%	9%	15%

Tasks

Six different tasks earn Dorbs. Each task only gives a maximum of 300 once every 8 hours for a total maximum of 1,800 per cycle. Dorbs are earned through collecting Gold (only when the Gold icon appears above a Habitat), harvesting Food from Farms, breeding Dragons, feeding Dragons, winning battles, and catching flying creatures. Pressing the i button provides further information on task fulfillment.

Dorbs obtained from food tasks are awarded upon collecting Food, not planting it. Dorbs obtained from breeding tasks are awarded upon pressing the Breed button, not upon moving an egg to the Hatchery.

Dragon Runner

Dragon Runner Events are limited-time competitions in which players guide their Dragon through a 3-lane running track, avoiding obstacles and collecting Flowers for milestone progress.

PC Controls

• Keyboard
  • Use Up/Down Arrows to switch to the next lane (twice to move 2 lanes)
  • Use Space bar to shoot
  • ESC Button pauses the run
• Mouse
  • Hold and drag up/down to switch lanes
  • Left click to shoot

Mechanics

Once the event begins, the Trainer's Dragon automatically moves forward, and the screen must be swiped (or keyboard arrows pressed on PC) to move to the next lane to avoid obstacles (twice to move 2 lanes). Each "run" attempt costs 1 Energy and 1 Energy unit is restored every 30 minutes until the maximum amount is reached (the limit is 4 at Event start, gradually increasing with each completed run, up to 8). A progress bar appears during a run, indicating progress towards the finish line.

Items and Obstacles

Food , Gold , and Flowers are scattered within the lanes, the latter of which accumulates to unlock milestone rewards, and also counts toward the leaderboard score. Some obstacles are destructible, clicking or tapping shoots a fireball to destroy them, while others are indestructible and must be dodged. While fireballs are unlimited, only 3 successive fireballs appear within a very short burst.

Beneficial Items				Obstacles
Item	Amount per collection	Actions		Type	Item Image (and variations)	Description	Actions
Flower	1	Collect		Indestructible		Rock	Dodge
Food	100
				Destructible		Hay Bale Target	Shoot or dodge
Gold	200					Statue
						Barrel

Checkpoints & Failures

Flowers collected while running are lost if an obstacle is hit, at which point the run may be restarted for 1 Energy (Food and Gold are saved at the checkpoints). Alternatively, the Dragon can be revived for 10 Gems, which resumes the run without loss from the point of failure. Reviving also provides 5 seconds of invincibility immediately after revival, indicated by blinking, during which time obstacles can be passed through. When the Dragon stops blinking, invincibility has ended. Furthermore, there are 5 checkpoints per run, crossing one awards 10 flowers and increases the Dragon's speed slightly, which also increases the difficulty.

Win Streak

After two consecutive run completions, a win streak begins (for which there is no timer) and can subsequently be increased, if no losses occur. The win streak, if maintained, acts as a multiplier for collected flowers, starting at a 1x increase and increasing by 1x each win, up to a 5x increase.

Finishing

When the running Dragon reaches the finish line (indicated by flags), the attempt is won and rewards given. Collected flowers are multiplied by the win streak (if any) and added to the cumulative total tallied for milestone rewards and leaderboard score.

Difficulty

There are ten difficulty levels, and five run-difficulties, one of which is selected at random before running starts. Run difficulties include: very easy, easy, medium, hard, and very hard. Each win leads to the next difficulty level, until the maximum level, while failing a run resets the difficulty to Level 1 again. Each level also takes a certain length of time, longer for harder levels, and the number of obstacles also increases.
