Unlocking the Secrets to Breeding a Fushi Dragon in DragonVale: A Comprehensive Guide
So, you’re yearning to add a shimmering Fushi Dragon to your DragonVale park? You’ve come to the right place! This elusive beauty, resembling a tranquil koi gracefully gliding through a serene pond, requires specific breeding combinations and a touch of luck. Let’s dive into the details.
How to Breed a Fushi Dragon: The Magic Formula
The Fushi Dragon is a limited-time dragon, meaning it’s only available during specific periods in DragonVale, usually coinciding with events like the Moonlight Maze or similar seasonal celebrations. The key to breeding it lies in using opposite elements to create a complex hybrid.
To breed a Fushi Dragon, you need to use dragons with the Water and Earth elements. One of the most reliable combinations is breeding a Water Dragon with an Earth Dragon.
However, this is just one path. Any combination of dragons that collectively possess both the Water and Earth elements can potentially result in a Fushi. This opens up a world of possibilities, including using dragons that have these elements as part of their hybrid typing. For example, you could try:
- Mud Dragon + Sea Dragon
- Swamp Dragon + River Dragon
- Waterfall Dragon + Plant Dragon (while Plant contains Earth, it can work)
Important Considerations:
- Breeding Cave/Epic Breeding Island: You can attempt this breeding in either the standard Breeding Cave or the upgraded Epic Breeding Island. The Epic Breeding Island doesn’t necessarily increase your chances of getting a Fushi, but it does allow you to breed dragons at a slightly faster rate.
- Level Requirements: Both parent dragons must be at least level 7 to participate in breeding. Higher levels may slightly increase your odds, but this is largely anecdotal.
- Patience is Key: Breeding a Fushi Dragon can be tricky! It may take several attempts before you succeed. Don’t get discouraged – keep trying different combinations that include the necessary elements.
- Breeding Odds: Breeding probabilities in DragonVale are complex and influenced by several factors, including the specific dragons used and even (some believe) hidden game mechanics. There’s no guaranteed method, but using the recommended combinations will maximize your chances.
- Limited Availability: Remember that the Fushi Dragon is typically only available during limited-time events. Keep an eye on in-game announcements and the DragonVale community forums to know when your breeding window opens! If it’s not available, you won’t be able to breed it.
