Unleash the Celestial Fire: Breeding the Leonian Dragon in Dragonvale
So, you’re on a quest to add the majestic Leonian Dragon to your Dragonvale park? Excellent choice! This fiery beast, inspired by the celestial sign of Leo, is a true spectacle. Breeding it isn’t overly complicated, but understanding the exact requirements is key to success. Let’s dive in.
The Short Answer: How to Breed a Leonian Dragon
The Leonian Dragon can be bred by using a Bicentennial Dragon and any dragon containing the Fire element, in either order, at any Breeding Cave. Remember, both the regular Breeding Cave and the Epic Breeding Island are fair game. Luck is a factor, of course, so patience is your friend.
Diving Deeper: Strategies and Considerations for Leonian Breeding
While the formula is simple, maximizing your chances of success involves a few strategic considerations. Leveling up your breeding dragons, understanding the breeding times, and utilizing the right breeding cave can all play a role.
Level Up Your Dragons
While the game doesn’t explicitly state that higher-level dragons guarantee a better chance of rare breeds, many players swear by it. Consider leveling both your Bicentennial Dragon and your Fire-element dragon to at least level 11. Feeding them treats makes them stronger and may very well improve your odds.
Patience is a Virtue
Breeding can be a waiting game, especially when aiming for specific dragons. The breeding time for the Leonian Dragon is significant, so prepare for the possibility of multiple attempts. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t succeed on your first try. Keep breeding those Bicentennial and Fire dragons!
Which Breeding Cave to Use?
The Leonian Dragon can be bred at any Breeding Cave, which gives you options. While some players prefer the Epic Breeding Island due to its inherent benefits (like slightly increased odds or a perceived advantage in rare breed acquisition), there’s no concrete evidence to suggest it significantly impacts Leonian breeding. Choose the cave that best fits your park management style and resource allocation.
Optimize your Fire-element Dragon choice
You can choose any Dragon with the Fire Element but you might want to consider if you are looking for a specific dragon in case the breeding fails. For example, using a Flower Dragon could result in a Flower Dragon, Bicentennial Dragon or Leonian Dragon.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here’s a collection of frequently asked questions to help you further refine your Leonian Dragon breeding strategy and address common concerns.
1. Can I Breed a Leonian Dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave?
No, the Leonian Dragon cannot be obtained in the Cooperative Breeding Cave unless it is one of the dragons used in the pairing. You must breed it yourself in a standard breeding cave or the Epic Breeding Island. The cooperative cave is fantastic for some dragons, but not this one.
2. What’s the Breeding Time for the Leonian Dragon?
The breeding time for the Leonian Dragon is 28 hours. This is a relatively long breeding time, so be prepared to wait! Speeding it up with gems is an option, but consider saving those precious gems for other purposes.
3. What Elements Does the Leonian Dragon Have?
The Leonian Dragon possesses the Fire and Light elements. This is important to know for habitat placement and food requirements once you successfully breed one.
4. Is the Bicentennial Dragon Required to Breed the Leonian Dragon?
Yes, the Bicentennial Dragon is absolutely required to breed the Leonian Dragon. There’s no substitute for this dragon in the breeding formula.
5. What Other Dragons Can I Get While Trying to Breed a Leonian Dragon?
Depending on the Fire-element dragon you choose, you may get that dragon if the breeding fails. It is best to choose a dragon where you are okay with either getting it or the Leonian Dragon.
6. Are There Specific Times of Day that Improve My Chances of Breeding a Leonian Dragon?
No, there’s no specific time of day requirement or bonus for breeding the Leonian Dragon. You can breed it any time of day or night. Disregard any rumors you may hear to the contrary.
7. Can I Breed Two Bicentennial Dragons to Get a Leonian Dragon?
No, breeding two Bicentennial Dragons will not result in a Leonian Dragon. You must have a Dragon with the Fire element.
8. Does the Dragonarium Affect Breeding Odds?
The Dragonarium primarily serves as a storage and information hub for your dragons. It doesn’t directly impact breeding odds. However, unlocking more dragons in the Dragonarium expands your breeding possibilities overall.
9. What’s the Best Habitat for My Leonian Dragon?
The Leonian Dragon requires a Fire habitat or a Light habitat. Given that it has both elements, choosing a larger habitat that can accommodate multiple dragons of either element is a smart move.
10. Is the Leonian Dragon a Limited-Time Dragon?
The Leonian Dragon is not generally a limited-time dragon. This means it is available year-round through the prescribed breeding method, which removes the pressure that accompanies limited-time dragon acquisitions.
11. How Much Dragoncash Does the Leonian Dragon Earn?
The amount of Dragoncash a Leonian Dragon earns depends on its level and the boosts you have in your park. At higher levels, it can generate a significant amount of income, making it a valuable addition to your Dragonvale economy.
12. What is the best Dragon with the fire Element to use in order to breed the Leonian Dragon?
This depends on what Dragonvale player is looking to get! A safe choice would be a common dragon so that way a player does not accidentally get a dragon they don’t want! It’s really player preference but the best one to choose would be the flower dragon in order to get a flower dragon or a Leonian Dragon.
13. What is the difference between the regular Breeding Cave and the Epic Breeding Island?
The Epic Breeding Island costs gems to purchase, while the regular Breeding Cave is available by default. Some players believe the Epic Breeding Island offers slightly improved breeding odds, though this is debated. Functionally, they both allow you to breed dragons.
14. I’ve been trying for days, and still no Leonian Dragon! Am I Doing Something Wrong?
No, you’re likely not doing anything wrong. Breeding rare dragons often requires persistence. Continue using the correct breeding combination and have patience. Sometimes, it simply takes multiple attempts before luck is on your side. Consider this a perfect example of game-based learning. As the Games Learning Society will tell you, persistence and strategic thinking are valuable skills, even in a seemingly simple mobile game.

Sometimes, Dragonvale hosts special events or promotions that can affect breeding odds or introduce new dragons with specific breeding combinations. Keep an eye on the game’s news and announcements for any such opportunities. These events often offer a temporary boost to breeding chances.
