Delving Deeper: Understanding the Aurora Dragon

Breeding Strategies: Optimizing Your Chances

While any four elements work, some combinations might prove more beneficial in the long run.

Consider the Cooldown Time

Some breeding pairs result in shorter average breeding times, allowing you to attempt more Aurora Dragon breedings in a given period. Fast breeders like Plant, Fire, Earth, and Air combinations can keep the cave turning over quickly.

Aiming for Double Duty

Why not try for other rare dragons alongside the Aurora Dragon? Breeding pairs that have a chance of producing other sought-after creatures provide added value. For example, breeding a combination that could also yield a Rainbow Dragon (which also requires four different elements) provides an additional chance at a desirable result.

Level Up Your Dragons

Keep trying different combinations, and remember that eventually, you’ll get lucky! Many players find setting timers to check the breeding cave regularly helps to stay on top of the process.
