How to Breed a Moriante Dragon

- Breeding Location: The breeding can occur at any Breeding Cave, including the standard Breeding Cave, Epic Breeding Island, and Cooperative Breeding Cave.
- Weather Condition: The breeding must take place when the in-game weather is set to Fireflies. Make sure to check the weather forecast and wait for the appropriate weather condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are 15 frequently asked questions about the Moriante Dragon and DragonVale breeding mechanics, covering a wide array of topics to assist both new and experienced players.
1. What are the elements of the Moriante Dragon?
The Moriante Dragon has the Light and Plant elements. It’s a hybrid dragon, meaning that it combines multiple elemental aspects.
2. Can I use a twin Blue Moon Dragon to breed a Moriante Dragon?
Yes, you can use a twin Blue Moon Dragon to breed a Moriante Dragon. The twin status of the parent does not affect the breeding outcome. However, using a twin can, at least when not using the co-op cave, increase the chance of a Twin outcome in the breeding.
3. What’s the best dragon with the Light element to pair with the Blue Moon Dragon?
Any dragon with the Light element will suffice. However, it’s generally recommended to use a dragon with a shorter breeding time (or a dragon that results in a higher average income) to maximize your breeding attempts. Examples include the Luminous Dragon and the Meadow Dragon.
4. Does the level of the parent dragons affect the breeding chances?
The level of the parent dragons does not directly affect the chances of getting a Moriante Dragon, but using higher-level dragons can increase the chance of obtaining a Twin of the desired dragon. It’s generally better to use level 11 or higher dragons, where possible, especially for more rare dragon outcomes.
5. What if I don’t have a Blue Moon Dragon?
If you do not have a Blue Moon Dragon, you will first need to obtain one. The Blue Moon Dragon can be bred by using a Moon Dragon and a Water Dragon, in either order, at any Breeding Cave when the weather is set to Rain.
6. What does the weather condition “Fireflies” look like?
The Fireflies weather condition is characterized by small, glowing insects (fireflies) appearing all over your park and during the breeding process. This is a visual confirmation that the correct condition is met.
7. Is there any other way to get a Moriante Dragon apart from breeding?
The Moriante Dragon can be obtained through breeding. There aren’t any other means such as purchasing it through the marketplace. Sometimes special events may give opportunities to acquire the dragon via a limited-time promotion.
8. How long does it take to breed a Moriante Dragon?
The breeding time for the Moriante Dragon is 12 hours. Remember this is only the incubation time; there is also the breeding time to consider.
9. Can I clone a Moriante Dragon?
You cannot directly clone a Moriante Dragon in the standard Breeding Cave. However, if you successfully breed a Moriante Dragon, you could potentially clone it by breeding it with any other dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave. Keep in mind, the success of cloning depends entirely on chance, but the coop offers an avenue for cloning that doesn’t exist with standard caves.
10. Does the breeding order matter for breeding the Moriante Dragon?
No, the order of the parent dragons does not matter when breeding the Moriante Dragon. You can use the Blue Moon Dragon as the first parent or the second parent, and the result will be the same.
11. What is the best breeding strategy for getting rare dragons, including the Moriante?
For breeding rare dragons, it’s beneficial to use high-level hybrid dragons. In general, any time you are targeting a rare hybrid dragon using its combination, ensure to use dragons that meet the requirement and that are at a level 11 or more.
12. What is the DragonVale best breeding combination?
The best breeding combination in DragonVale, in terms of dragoncash per hour, is breeding dragons with the Light and Plant elements, specifically aiming for Luminous and Meadow dragons. However, if you want to collect more of a single type of dragon you may want to focus on those requirements instead of average income.
13. What is the rarest dragon in DragonVale?
While the game introduces new and rare dragons periodically, the Dream Dragon is typically considered the hardest dragon to obtain, even using the Cooperative Breeding Cave. However, the rarest dragons are ever changing.
14. Can I get a Twin Moriante Dragon right away?
Yes, it’s possible to get a Twin Moriante Dragon right away, but it is a matter of chance. Twin dragons have a blue orb around their heads and can be bred in any breeding cave with a small chance. The co-op cave can help to increase these chances with some luck.
15. How do Wishes and daily rewards help in acquiring dragons like the Moriante?
Daily login rewards in DragonVale accumulate towards receiving a Wish every 100 days. This Wish can be used to acquire almost any item in the game. However, the chances of getting the dragon through other means are much higher in this scenario. The wish can be a useful way to get the dragons that are not available at any given time or through standard breeding methods.
