What pairings are you guys using to get the electric + nature combo?

I feel like that's a pretty lame move to pick those two combos, since they're unable to breed together we will have to wait for "failed" breedings to go through.

I am using Nature + St. Patrick = Nature and Electric + Nisse = Electric. Short breedings and they count.

Does it not have to be nature and electric on the same egg?

@ratless The result is not important. You just have to use the 2 elements for breeding.

Thank you for that info!

I’m doing Nature and Gummy and that works.

Nature/Gummy and Electric/Gummy are also excellent (100% producing Nature and Electric respectively), and unlike St. Patrick/Nisse require only breedable dragons.

If one were to do Nature/Gummy in all three locations (and dedicate three hatchery slots), one could generate 9 pts/hr.

@Scott-Clark And thus it shouldn’t be hard to get an empowered Millium then! Thanks for the info!

17 so far with 2 more breeding, I am aiming for the 25 to get the 220 orbs.

I am doing #34,35 atm. I will try to reach 125.

I'm up to 40, doing 6/hr. Will go up to 9/hr in 40 minutes when my additional Gummy hatches and I can get the Sanctuary cranking them out too. I should be able to get 125 without difficulty.

And since the global score is NOT on pace to reach its target, summoning via the individual prizes (we do still get those even if the global isn't met, right?) looks like the only way to get it. Which would make 3 stars not achievable

@Nynaevelan It doesn't look like the tiers are cumulative, you only get the best you've qualified for (I think this because when I hit 25 the +100 greyed out and the present icon moved to the +120 instead of there being two icons - and also because they work out to providing just enough orbs for an extra star per tier so the math makes more sense). Hence 25 would get 120 orbs not 220, and is really no better than 12 if I'm right in projecting that we'll have to summon it.

Wow how did you get so many, so fast?

@nynaevelan I am using two breeding places and could skip some times with watching trailers. 41, 42 cooking now.

109 and time for bed. 125 is seriously easy this time round, if you know how to find the right combos. And the global prize is falling further off pace, so the individual rewards are more important than last time when you were crazy to try and go past 6.

125 and done. Now I can finally go back to normal breeding patterns - between the race, the puzzle island, and the community challenge it's been quite a while!

How many gems did it cost you to get there? I am close to 50 and am wondering if I should try to push on.

@nynaevelan No gems needed. I am breeding on three places now. I need 22 more. Just do these short onse and redo every 30 minutes.

Same here, I reached the 125 points with no problem.
You only need to breed constantly any thunder/nature hybrid + nature. The options are gummy, St. patrick, hawaiian and stressed.
the result will always be nature (15 min. in mountain/tree level 2).

I still do not understand this, the breeds are a little less than 6 hours but the hatching is 15, so how are you all doing 125 without gems?

Oh I think I get it, the nature breeds count? Bummer I didn't think they were counting.

Yes, the breeds resulting in Nature dragons count, so long as one of the breeders had the Electric element. Like @Bettina-Löffler said early in the thread, the result is irrelevant - the breeders just have to represent both elements.

I totally missed that, messed myself up on this one so it will cost me some gems to get to 125 but lesson learned!!

Oh. Thats why. I am sorry that I didnt point out again that results are not relevant. I think thats why we can not make it in total. Because many players think the result has to be nature + electric.

@bettina-löffler yeah I think we are going to have to make ourselves some tips for future ones.

I think it probably also contributed that the prior Community Challenge (Terra+Electric) didn't have any equivalent options. The corresponding breeds for those elements only have about a 50% chance of a fast result.

I find it kind of strange that the first one reached its goal so easily, and this one isn't coming anywhere close, despite the facts that (a) the goal is lower and (b) there are faster available breeding options. Participation must have been much lower (well under half), is the only interpretation I see.

If we get to 12 (100 Millium Orbs) do we still get the orbs at the end even if the global challenge is failed?

People might be angry because I know a few people are annoyed at Millium being an Epic. However, this is going to be a decent fighter in the Epic Master Arena.

There'll only be 2 days left of the Epic season when the prizes are given out. Almost certainly not enough time to summon and hatch it without significant gem spending. To say nothing of the empower/train/rank process you'd have to go through in order to make it a genuinely interesting option. As an untrained unranked 0-star, it'd be quite a bit worse than whatever any given player is already using.

Yes you get your individual rewards regardless of what happens with the community portion.

@nynaevelan took me all day and most of the night but I made it, now for some much needed sleep.

@nynaevelan it also looks like we might make the 5m now, reckon SP bumped up the score, seems a big leep to me from where we were

@kevin-n-scott I've also been thinking that SP manipulated the numbers to make it look like we weren't going to make it & then there was a last minute charge.
Look at how it changed.

@dragonista I have no doubt they did, probably pre programmed in just in case, I would if it was my game. They need people to,play to get advertising revenue.

Yay we did it at the last possible minute! (Or they fudged the numbers... although keeping your players happy isn't a bad thing!)

I was up most of the night finishing my 125, the numbers did some steady jumping, I figured it was due to a lot of people making a big push, especially since the word got out about the tip on how to succeed. I am just glad it did since the tier levels were not cumulative for the individual rewards.

My biggest complaint is I do not like an epic having a legend element, I hope they change it back to a legend rarity.

@nynaevelan it's not the first Epic with legend element, but know what you mean, it should have been legendary.

And an Ancient element which isn’t primary might as well not be there at all.
