How to Breed a Solarflare Dragon in DragonVale: A Celestial Guide

So, you’re aiming to add the radiant Solarflare Dragon to your DragonVale park? Excellent choice! This creature of creation, capable of forging entire galaxies, is a truly magnificent addition. Let’s dive into the specifics.

The Solarflare Dragon can only be bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave or the Cooperative Breeding Island. The breeding pair must consist of any two dragons, in either order, that possess both the Galaxy and Sun elements. This means one dragon must have the Galaxy trait, and the other must have the Sun element. It’s crucial to remember that this breeding can only occur in the Cooperative Breeding Cave/Island with another player’s dragon. You cannot use your own dragons to breed it in the normal breeding caves.

Now, let’s break down what that means in practical terms. You’ll need a dragon that carries the Galaxy element (like an Andromedan, Bizurian, or Polarian Dragon) and another dragon that carries the Sun element.

Here’s a step-by-step approach:

1. Acquire a Galaxy Dragon: Breed or purchase a Galaxy Dragon. Good options include:

   • Andromedan Dragon: Bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave with any other dragon.
   • Arcturian Dragon: Bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave with specific dragon combinations.
   • Bizurian Dragon: Bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave with specific dragon combinations.
   • Polarian Dragon: Bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave with specific dragon combinations.
   • Sorarian Dragon: Bred at the Cooperative Breeding Cave with specific dragon combinations.

2. Acquire a Sun Dragon: This dragon is a bit simpler to obtain. The Sun Dragon can be bred using any two dragons containing the Cold and Lightning elements, at any Breeding Cave, but only during the daytime hours (7 AM to 7 PM DragonVale time).

3. Head to the Cooperative Breeding Cave/Island: This is non-negotiable. The Solarflare Dragon only breeds in this location.

4. Select Your Dragons: Choose your Galaxy Dragon and your Sun Dragon. It does not matter which slot you put each dragon in.

5. Pray to the Dragon Gods! Breeding a Solarflare Dragon isn’t guaranteed. It requires a bit of luck.

6. Be Patient: Breeding times in DragonVale can vary. Check your breeding cave regularly.

7. Celebrate! Once the breeding is complete, you’ll have a Solarflare Dragon egg ready to hatch!

Understanding the Breeding Mechanics

Breeding in DragonVale is influenced by several factors, including the dragons involved, the breeding location, and even the time of day (for some dragons). Understanding these mechanics improves your chances of success. The Cooperative Breeding Cave provides a unique opportunity as it uses another player’s dragon to assist in the breeding process. This is crucial for obtaining Galaxy dragons.

Important Considerations

• Breeding Odds: The odds of getting a Solarflare Dragon aren’t astronomically high. Be prepared for multiple attempts.
• Boosts: Utilizing breeding boosts can slightly increase your chances of success.
• Level Requirements: There are no park level requirements to attempt breeding the Solarflare Dragon, but it is automatically gifted to players when they reach level 100.
• Dragon Levels: While not explicitly stated, it’s generally believed that higher-level dragons have a slightly better chance of producing rarer offspring. Leveling your Galaxy and Sun dragons may improve your odds.

Maximizing Your Chances

To improve your chances of successfully breeding a Solarflare Dragon:

• Use High-Level Dragons: As mentioned, aim to use dragons that are at least level 10.
• Utilize the Cooperative Breeding Cave/Island: Remember, this is the only place you can breed a Solarflare Dragon.
• Be Persistent: Keep trying! Breeding for rare dragons often requires multiple attempts.
