Dragon Mania Legends Gameplay Elements.png



Dragon Mania Legends is a strategy game, created by Gameloft in 2015. The game takes place in the mystical realm of Dragolandia. There are many Gameplay Elements, the overall mission as the Dragon Trainers is to reclaim and rebuild the land from the ongoing battle against the Vikings.

Platforms

There are three officially supported operating systems (platforms):

  1. Android (including Kindle Fire OS),
  2. Windows.
  3. iOS.

Generally, only Trainers on the same platform and server can interact with each other, though there are extremely rare instances when cross-platform and cross-server functionality is available, such as during Community Events.

Each operating system has two retail servers, apa-gold and eur-gold. In some cases, the suffix "eur" is not displayed. To determine the current server, press the Options Icon.png button, press the     Info     button, and then press the     About    button. Server appears below the Save Data Server text. A third server exists, called the-gold, which is available only to Android users in China. Trainers from the same country on the other platforms still make use of the apa server.

Raising and Training Dragons

Islands Overview (Large).jpg

The adventure begins on the Archipelago, a grouping of islands that are the home and base of operations for Dragons and their Trainers. The game will start with a short tutorial in which basic aspects of the game are learned.

Obtaining and raising Dragons is a major part of building a great army to fight the Vikings. The first Dragons available in the game are Base Dragons, which are bought in the Main Shop Button.png Main Shop. Before placing hatcheds Dragons, Habitats must be purchased and built for them to live in.

Once the Codex is retrieved, Trainers have the key to breeding hybrid Dragons: Bi-Elemental Dragons, Tri-Elemental Dragons, and Breedable Legendaries. Though there are many possible outcomes when breeding two Dragons, and there are some Guaranteed-Breedable Dragons. There are hundreds of Dragons to obtain and many can be bred through various mating combinations or bought in the Main Shop. Some can only be obtained as a reward, from battles, through the Bottomless Dungeon, through events, or through other means.

Breeding and hatching takes time. However, these timers can be greatly reduced by spending Gems to purchase VIP Status. Active VIP Status is indicated by VIP Status Icon.png and will offer many other perks as well.

Dragons come in many Body Shapes with various attributes. Each Dragon has a classification type representing their level of rarity. When a Dragon is born, it has one or more Elements. The combination of a Dragon's rarity and Elements is what determines its stats. Stats are the formulas used to determine a Dragon's attack strength, earning productivity, and health/endurance. Stats increase slightly each time a Dragon is leveled up. Farms must be built to grow Food to feed Dragons. Each time a Dragon gains a new level, it requires more food, with four feedings required for each level. There is a cap on how high a Dragon can be leveled, which can be increased by building Temples, but even Temples have limits. Each Temple is specific to only one Element and can be leveled a set number of times, each level offers a slight increase in the Dragon-leveling cap.

When going into battle, a Dragon's attack, strength, and weaknesses are affected by the Elements they were born with. By paying with a combination of Gold and Scrolls, their natural-born abilities can be honed at the Dragon Academy to master the skills. Some Dragons have hidden skills that can only be awoken upon reaching a certain maturity (levels 20 and 30).

Battle Vikings

Trainers use the Ancient Portal to reach the Campaign Map, which has various levels of difficulty: Normal Mode, Heroic Mode, and Nightmare Mode. The goal is to rescue and work alongside or against characters to retake the outer islands. There are many battles to be fought on the main path through these islands, each set leading to a big Boss battle. Once one of the Boss Dragons is defeated, it can be purchased in the Main Shop to help produce more Gold or other resources in Habitats. Branching from the main path, there are other quests to complete as well.

The different Campaign modes become available as further battles are won. Heroic Mode and Nightmare mode are more difficult versions of Normal Mode, in which each quest costs two Portal Energy. On these maps, there are no operating mines to retake, but each quest allows earning bigger rewards.

After reaching Level 16, a Dungeon run by Otto the Dungeon Master is opened up. The Bottomless Dungeon contains a shop that sells special decorations, Dungeon Dragons, and specialty items. Trainers can also participate in brawls to hone their battle skills. Stepping Stones, awarded from performing certain tasks in the brawls, allow them to explore the bowels of the Dungeon to seek Dungeon Tokens and other treasures.

Other Goals

Logging in each day rewards the Trainer with Daily Rewards. Any completed task earns the experience points, which helps increase Player Level and earn rewards.

There are several ongoing tasks available through the main screen in the Archipelago to earn rewards, including In-Game Currency. A Trainer's current total of Gems, Gold, and Food can be seen along the top of the screen.

Pressing the Dragon Codex Button.png button located middle-right of the main screen accesses the Dragon Codex, a feature providing information for almost all Dragons in the game. The Codex also includes collections, which are groupings of Dragons that once collected provide the listed rewards.

On the left of the main screen the To-Do-List Button.png button opens the Achievements, Daily Tasks, Quests, and badges tabs. Achievements shows objectives that can be completed for Gem rewards. Each badge can be obtained upon reaching certain milestones. Daily Tasks provide opportunities for various rewards, as well as Season Points for Dragonmaster Pass when the event is active.

The Ruins scattered throughout the islands can each be unlocked and then explored regularly, by a group of three Dragons, to search for hidden treasure. Each ruin also conceals three shards that, when reassembled, make a Chronosian seal. Once all the seals are acquired, they are used to awaken Chronos. After Chronos is awoken, he can be leveled-up four times and reduce some game timers, though each level requires the seals to be collected once more.


The smallest island in the Archipelago contains the Lighthouse which is used to add friends who are on the same platform and server. Every Trainer is given a unique recruitment code for inviting friends, and multiple new Trainers can sign up using the same code. Having friends in the game can be advantageous when it comes to gifts and is necessary for earning the friendship points which are needed to reach the goals for receiving rewards offered by the Totem of Friendship. Social features and friends are accessed by pressing the Social System Button.png button. Gift collecting is done at the top of the friends list.

Two buttons are found on the bottom of the Campaign Map screen on the left-hand side. The first button when pressed Free Button 2.png allows the Trainer to watch a limited number of videos daily in exchange for free items, which include Stepping Stones, Otto's Lotto prizes, Enchantment Materials, and Card Packs.

The second button Bottomless Dungeon Button.png is for the Bottomless Dungeon. Upon entering the Dungeon, there are options to visit the Dungeon Shop, to view the Fight Bonus, to battle in Dragon Brawls, or to explore the dungeon maze. The Dungeon Shop only accepts Yellow Dungeon Token Yellow Dungeon Token Icon.png, which are earned by opening chests in the maze. Chests in the maze offer not just Dungeon Tokens, but other rewards as well.

There are items in shops which have no tactical purpose, such as Decorations, which are solely to beautify islands. The Fountain of Youth, though listed as one of the buildings, is used to give a Dragon the form of a baby, without altering its attributes or abilities.

Global Events

Be sure to stay aware of current events as these can provide great rewards!

Events are regular competitions held on either a global or national basis, depending upon the purpose of the event being held. Each event uses a level modifier system which determines difficulty, the ranking of a Trainer in the competition, and what rewards are received. This allows for a more balanced reward system at different levels of the game.

There are different leagues in which Trainers can pit their Dragons against other Trainers. The Dragon League is a continuously occurring event in which Trainers participate in a arena battle against their opponents. This league is accessed by pressing the Battle Button.png in the bottom-left corner of the main screen and then selecting the Arena option. Arena Energy is needed to participate in these battles and will automatically regenerate over a time. The Dragon League allows Trainers to compete against one another to win trophies towards chests containing Dragon Pieces, Enchantment Materials - Card Back.png Enchantment Materials for enchanting Dragons, and Enchanted Trinkets Enchanted Trinkets Icon.png (which are used to fuse Enchantment Material and to upgrade the Breeding Den. This league is accessed by pressing the Battle Button.png at the bottom-left of the main screen and then selecting the Arena option.

Dragon of the Week and Dragon of the Month are non-competitive, continuously recurring events which allow Trainers to potentially breed some Limited-Time Dragons that are unavailable for normal breeding. The information for a current event can be accessed by selecting the pier or by pressing the Dragon of the Week button located at the bottom of the right-hand side of the screen.

All other events occur on an alternating schedule.

Solo Events are events in which Trainers do not compete against one another. Instead, in these events, Trainers compete against a clock to complete several levels of predetermined goals. Calendar Events let Trainers earn prizes by logging in daily during the limited period of the event. Castle Events are events with two parts. Trainers compete against a clock to get through different levels of a maze, collecting puzzle pieces for the grand prize. Each level of the maze has many spaces that must move through to find the key to the next level, but Trainers must first perform various tasks to earn special event currency, which is necessary to move through each space (each space offers a small reward).

Feeding Events, Food Gathering Events, Gem Spending Events, Gold Collecting Events, Gold Spending Events and Hatching Events are all ranking events in which rewards are given based on positioning on the leaderboard at the end of the competition. Each of these events also has side goals called milestones, which guarantee a specific reward for completion regardless of ranking on the leaderboard.

Trainers can join a Clan to participate in Clan Events such as The Great Dragon Race to earn various prizes and Dragon Pieces.
