The ••• button next to any Trainer's name can be pressed to bring up the Visit option (used for visiting that Trainer's island).

Mechanics

The Trainer selects three Dragons to fight another Trainer's Dragons in an attempt to gain Battle Points and Trophies. When in battle, the attacking Trainer faces the Dragons of other Trainers, though these Dragons are operated by the game AI instead of the opposing Trainer themselves. Trainers are awarded accumulative points after each battle, and, when applicable, rewards for win streaks.

At the end of the arena season, Trainers receive league rewards based on their current league, Trainer Level (modifiers), and the number of points they have accumulated compared to other Trainers.

Each battle costs one Arena Energy for a normal attack, or two for a Focus Attack which increases the damage inflicted by allied Dragons by 50%. one energy automatically regenerates every 1 hour and 30 minutes, until a Trainer's maximum limit is reached. Energy can be replenished at a cost of 25 Gems per energy, up to the maximum limit. Trainers with active VIP Status have a limit of 7 energy units, and non-VIP Trainers have a limit of 4. The list of available opponents can be refreshed for free once every 24 hours, and thereafter costs Gems:

Refresh	Refresh Cost
1st	Free
2nd	5
3rd	7
4th	10
5th +	15

Tiers

The Dragon League is tiered into 13 different leagues, each themed on one of the game's Elements. Progressing through leagues unlocks Promotion Prizes.

Level Requirements

A Trainer's Dragons must meet Dragon Leveling requirements to play in each League. Dragons cannot be used in battle without reaching adulthood, which occurs at level 4. At this time, Trainers may access the League of Fire and League of Wind only. Thereafter, a Trainer must continue to level their fighting Dragons to progress to higher leagues.

Requirements	League
Dragon Level	4	4	16	16	20	25	30	40	50	60	70	80	100
Trophies	0	500	1.2k	2.4k	3.6k	5k	6.4k	7.8k	9.2k	10.6k	12k	13.4k	14.8k

League Chests

League Chests are earned when a Trainer reaches a Battle Points Milestone. Chest contents depend on the League in which the Trainer is currently playing, and the number of chests opened. Each league has 3 types of chests, colored and typed per league, (for example, the League of Fire has three distinct League of Fire chests) that hold different contents based on if it is a Regular, Super, or Premium chest. Higher leagues grant more Enchantment Materials and materials of a higher grade, where the lowest leagues (Fire and Wind) give Food or Gold instead of materials. Pressing the i button on a chest displays its content information.

Chests that give Enchantment Materials give a certain number of Enchantment cards for materials of any Element. Each card has a certain percentage for the drop rate frequency of each Element, with lower Elements being more frequent than higher ones. The amounts, however, are the same for all the materials of any Element. The higher the League a Trainer is in, the more and better materials it gives.

Material Cards

Enchantment cards somewhat indicate the Rarity of Enchantment Materials provided, flipping over to reveal full quantity and type details. In Enchantment Chests, some Special Elements give one card, regardless of chest type; such cards have a 40% chance of appearing, and give average materials in Gift Chests, and average or better in Rare Chests or Epic Chests.

Team Planner The DML Planner Team Planner provides a way to plan a Dragon Battle team that covers all or most Elements at least once. Doing this can provide a well-rounded battle team for the Dungeon, and may help reduce the difficulty encountered in Events that restrict Dragons used in battle by Element, such as in Castle Events, and Boss Challenge Events. Read more about this sister project, the DML Planner made by Toomas, a DML community member.

Points

If a Trainer wins a match, they receive battle points and trophies. Battle points are calculated after a battle and are dependent on Element Bonus, difficulty, Dragons knocked out, and Win Streak Bonus. The number of trophies won or lost depends on the relation of the Trainer's to the opponent's number of trophies. If a Trainer loses the battle, they lose trophies but do not lose Battle Points, rather they still receive a Participation Bonus.

Losing a battle presents the Trainer with the opportunity to revive the battling Dragons and continue where the battle ended. The Player's Dragons return to the battlefield with full strength and without any effects, while the opponent's Dragons keep their current state. The costs of reviving are 8 Gems the first time, 10 Gems the second time, and 20 Gems for each following revival.

Additional Points

Bonus points are added based upon the difficulty of the battle, the level of the opposing Dragons and the Trainer's winning streak. Base points according to the league are given for winning a match.

Element Bonus - Dragons with an Element that corresponds to the Element of the current league (except Elite Leagues), for example a Dragon having the Plant Element in the League of Plant, receive a +20% boost to the damage dealt even by its other elements. Element bonus also increases the Battle Score earned, which is used to complete milestones to unlock chests.
The boosted Elements for the top Leagues do not align with the League, but are in a rotation instead.

Difficulty - Trainers are presented with three opponents; the battle difficulty is displayed upon the challenge snapshot of each opponent, along with the Dragons they will bring to the battle. The difficulty of an opponent is based on all Dragons in the Trainer's roster, in relation to the opponent's Dragons, and is not based on the Dragon team chosen for the battle. There are three possible levels of difficulty:

	Bonus Points
Difficulty
Medium	25	25	25	25	25	40	40	40	40	40	40	40	40
Hard	30	30	30	30	30	60	60	80	80	100	100	100	120
Element	5	5	5	5	5	10	10	15	15	20	20	25	30
Lose	20	20	25	25	25	30	40	50	60	70	80	90	100

Dragons knocked out – Win Streak Bonus – Bonus points are given for defeating multiple opponents in a row within a given time frame. The bonus points increase with the Win Streak and are added to the Trainer's score.

Win Streak	No Streak	3 Streak	6 Streak	9 Streak	12 Streak	15 Streak	18 Streak	20 Streak
Bonus	+0%	+5%	+10%	+15%	+20%	+30%	+40%	+50%
