@Armistice congratulations! The dragon level requirements for the tournaments make completing them a challenge.

Did you all start the first tourney for the Choose Your Dragon event, Wingspan is required for the first fight.

@Nynaevelan getting ready to do battle #3

I started late, missed 5 hours.

I have completed the first 3 fights.

@Nynaevelan getting ready to do battle #3

I think that is where I am too, I am now at the 8 hour wait time.

No, I don't have the Panther Dragon.

@Dragonista You can get it from watching trailers on freebies island now.

My cinema never switched over to Panther, which is just fine for me, but bad for those who need it.

It's still on the 5 each, Gem-Maze Coin-Food/Gold, which is much better than the random Dragon giveaways that often give 14 or even 15 Food/Gold.

@BrenDC It is not promoted. But people got panther already.

My cinema hasn't changed yet either, still the coins/gems/gold and food. Shouldn't it be the same for everyone?

@Glaceon It is the same for everyone.

All thanks to the power of gems.

@Armistice I must say I liked this one, it was so easy and stress free it reminded me of the old tournaments.

Having plenty of time to complete the tournament was nice. Unfortunately the next end at the same time as this one, so we will have progressively less time to complete each one. So for the one that starts tomorrow and especially the one that starts on the 26th, I am going to try for an early start.

@skidragon luckily i only have to do the last one with the ticket, i am just doing these ones to occupy myself.

Same and ditto on the resemblance to old tourneys.

Was going to do the Scarecrow tourney but I am not feeding up 3 useless dragons just to win 1 fight. Well rest for 2 more days.

I don't have Scarecrow and I have the food, so I went ahead with lvling my three(they're on lvl 25 now.)

@Armistice I had to feed mine to level 39 to win with using the tower. Good thing here is that the timer starts after winning the first battle. So when you loose, you can try again and again with no waiting time.

Which one need you level up??

I had all three dragons at level 20 with no training or experience and had no trouble winning the battle. Since I don't have Scarecrow I am going to try to finish this tournament. Hopefully there won't be any requirements for dragons I don't have.

@Nynaevelan All three.

@Bettina-Löffler Whelp I used up all my food on Queenie so this one will have to be a pass.

Whew finally won the first battle, it is a good thing they gave us so much time for this one!! I do not like this requiring 3 dragons per fight, and with them being such crappy choices. It is not a question of using the right strategy but wasting the food to use the right strategy.

@Nynaevelan I saved much food. So I will have enough for scarecrow. But I hate to waste it that way.

@Bettina-Löffler I Will Not Continue. This is just a ripoff in Order to Steal our food. My 3 opponents are Level 38, 39, and 40. I won't spend 30 mio Food for a winning Chance. Anyway, I already have scarecrow etc. and the Chance to be Among the 25 winners is hilariously low anyway.

@tom13 Someone in one of the fb groups said the more of your higher level dragons you put in the dragonarium the lower your opponents levels will go. I had just won when I got that tip, though I would not want to take such a drastic measure, I will save it for the next time I need it.

I don't have many high level dragons, so my oppenents were lvls 20-24.

I wonder if it makes a difference which platform you are playing on; some things are supposedly easier on mobile. I have 7 level 40 dragons, about 30 at level 30+, and the rest in the 20s. The three opponents I saw in the first battle were in the mid 20s.

My fights are easier on mobile than fb.

The Dragonarium thing wouldn't work for me. Back when the Dragon Market used to pay out hundreds of millions of food I would feed all my Dragons up to Level 40 right away, so I have about 250-300 of them. I would have to buy hundreds of slots and move them all back and forth every time.

It makes me wonder if they're not doing this because people are using less food now that it's almost impossible to rank up Dragons in the combat world? I sent in a ticket explaining to them that there's no incentive to feed them up to high levels if you're not using them to fight, and then this happens.

So I won't be participating in any of these where we have to feed useless Dragons to level 40 unless they give us something really special. I have the food (for now), but a lottery ticket that gives you a one in a million chance is not going to cut it.

You raise good points and I too have to many to want to move them in and out. Plus you add in I have my islands organized by element to get the most gold production so it is not worth trying to mess around with that. But I will say I have been doing them for the eggs for my storage not for the shot of possibly being one of the 10 or whatever number winners. And yikes I am glad I do not have as many as you, I think I am more than 75 but less than 100 over level 35. And except for those ones I had to do for the permanent tourneys, they are all previous fighters that I have ranked up.

Lost the first time I tried.

@Armistice me too until i turned on my tower.

@Nynaevelan said in Tournaments(Temporary & Permanent Discussion Thread):

Mmm, I forgot about the tower. I just gave my weakest link a star and lvled it up to 20.

Got my deco now let's see if I remember the last fight to get the Bear egg for my storage collection.

Same./mirrored thoughts.

Me also, although I might skip the extra Bear egg since the wait ends after my normal bedtime. One of us may even get the pick a dragon; there is a 10 out of however many thousands of players chance.

Forked over 8 gems to finish this ponyta's pony's gauntlet.

I officially need an intervention, I have begun setting an alarm to make sure I log in for the tourney fights...

Lol you too? I started doing that on the last round.

For the Striking Cup Tournament, I already have the required Dragons at Level 20 - Iron, Pure Gold and Asian.

But because of the opponents and available Elements, I keep on losing on the Stage 1.Any suggestions?

Train your dragons and use gems to speed it up if you have too(use the training tower to speed it up if you have it: Hanzo's.)

Use the battle stat increase tower if you have it(Winstance.)

Battle your friends on the mobile platform to earn stars quicker if you can.

@terrencedg Use electric attacks to hit first opponent critical. Then Asien for High Queen with pure attacks. Then use Pure Gold with dark attacks to hit the last opponent critical. Use Winstance`s Tower for boost.

@terrencedg I almost feel lucky that I couldn't breed Pure Gold. Now I can just relax for a few days without having to rush for the tournaments, spending Millions of Food, setting alarm clocks, etc.
