So, you want to add a Bushwhack Dragon to your DragonVale park? Excellent choice! This elusive, leafy beastie is a true testament to the game’s vibrant and diverse dragon roster. Here’s the straightforward answer to your burning question:
The Bushwhack Dragon can be bred by using a Bramble Dragon and any dragon that contains the Earth and Fire elements, in either order, at any Breeding Cave. It doesn’t matter if you’re using the standard Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island; as long as you’ve got the right combo, you’re in business!
But the journey to acquiring a Bushwhack Dragon is more than just throwing dragons together and hoping for the best. Understanding the nuances, probabilities, and optimal strategies will significantly increase your chances of success. Let’s delve deeper, shall we?
Unveiling the Breeding Process
The Core Combination
As mentioned, the recipe calls for a Bramble Dragon plus any dragon with both Earth and Fire elements. This offers a fair amount of flexibility, allowing you to experiment with different combinations. Some popular choices for the Earth/Fire dragon include:
- Lava Dragon: Easy to obtain and a solid choice.
- Obsidian Dragon: Another readily available option.
- Fire Dragon: While basic, it fulfills the requirement.
- Earth Dragon: It’s a primary dragon, but it fills the Earth element requirement.
Optimizing Your Chances
While the game doesn’t explicitly reveal the exact breeding probabilities, seasoned DragonVale players have noticed patterns. Some believe using dragons with higher rarity or higher dragon level might subtly increase your odds of obtaining the desired dragon. This is not a certainty, but many players swear by it!
The Role of the Breeding Cave
Whether you use the regular Breeding Cave or the upgraded Epic Breeding Island makes no difference in the type of dragon you can breed. The upgrade to the Epic Breeding Island primarily reduces breeding times, allowing you to attempt more combinations in a shorter period.
